1
00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:04,938
(Martin Luther King Jr.):
We are determined to be free.
2
00:00:05,072 --> 00:00:07,307
(Ed Herlihy): The long
anticipated freedom march
3
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:09,676
from Selma to Alabama's
capital of Montgomery
4
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:11,378
finally gets under way.
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:14,381
Twice before the marchers
had been turned back
by state troopers.
6
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:17,184
Now they march with
the protection of federalized
7
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:19,720
National Guard units
and regular troops.
8
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:31,398
(Mike): Driving over
this bridge is so powerful.
9
00:00:31,532 --> 00:00:33,233
What happened here
was such a pivotal part
10
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:34,768
in the Civil Rights movement.
11
00:00:34,902 --> 00:00:36,803
There's so much
history here, man.
12
00:00:36,937 --> 00:00:39,306
This is a lot more emotional
than I thought it would be.
13
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:40,707
- Yes.
14
00:00:40,841 --> 00:00:43,610
- We must say,
give us the ballot.
15
00:00:43,744 --> 00:00:46,146
We are determined
to have the ballot,
16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,715
and we are determined
to have it now.
17
00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:50,250
(crowd cheering)
18
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:02,029
- Look at that church, Jersey.
-Yeah, that's a nice church.
19
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:04,364
- The buildings here
are unbelievable.
20
00:01:04,498 --> 00:01:06,900
Today, Jersey Jon and I are in
the great state of Alabama,
21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,670
headed to an independent
gas and oil company
22
00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:12,839
that's been
family-owned over 50 years.
23
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:14,241
Look at this place, Jersey.
24
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:16,810
There's so many of them
that need to be restored.
25
00:01:16,944 --> 00:01:18,345
This is the largest
historic district
26
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:19,780
in the state of Alabama.
27
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,149
Gorgeous! Look at that.
28
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:23,450
Wow, I'm just blown away.
29
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,085
Arts Revive.
30
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:26,453
Oh they got a nice
outside area too.
31
00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:28,455
Creeping up on the address here.
32
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,324
Ha ha. Oh wow! Whoa!
33
00:01:30,457 --> 00:01:33,093
That is the Alabama pothole.
- You're going to break
an axle on this thing.
34
00:01:33,226 --> 00:01:35,095
- Uh-oh, are we going
to hit this wire?
35
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:37,197
- Probably.
- Are we going to pull
it off the building?
36
00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:38,832
And then we're going
to be stuck. Dang...
37
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:43,003
- I think you're okay, dude.
- Okay, we're good. We're good.
38
00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:44,871
Look at that one-
- Watch the telephone pole,
dude.
39
00:01:45,005 --> 00:01:47,407
Don't scrape it.
Ooh, look at the hardware store.
40
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:50,143
- I know. That's what I'm saying
that's what I'm talking about.
41
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:52,879
Look at that awning.
- I got to take a picture...
42
00:01:53,981 --> 00:01:55,082
- I got it.
- That's cool.
43
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:56,984
The St. James Hotel.
44
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,385
- That looks like it's
been recently restored.
45
00:01:58,518 --> 00:02:00,354
- They put a lot of money in
that building, obviously.
46
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:01,989
- This is it right
here with the mural.
47
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:04,324
- Yeah, they're painting a mural
on the side of the building.
48
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:06,560
Rex! How are you, brother?
49
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:08,996
- Hey.
- Are you Rex?
50
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:10,263
- What's going on? I am.
51
00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:12,032
- Hey, I'm Mike.
- Mike, nice to meet you.
52
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:14,067
- Jersey Jon.
- Jersey, Rex. Nice to meet you.
53
00:02:14,201 --> 00:02:16,036
- What you got going on, man?
Hey, I'm Mike.
54
00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:18,805
- Oh, this is Vaughn Simms.
- Vaughn, nice to meet you.
55
00:02:18,939 --> 00:02:21,942
- Welcome to Selma.
- Cool, what are you painting?
56
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:25,078
- We are actually doing a mural
of an old gas station.
57
00:02:25,212 --> 00:02:28,048
It's actually based out
of Belle Plaine, Iowa,
58
00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:29,883
it's called Preston Station.
59
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:32,552
- On Lincoln Highway.
- Yeah, on Lincoln Highway, yes.
60
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:34,588
Okay, I want to see,
what do you got?
61
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:37,157
- I've been by this
place so many times.
62
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:39,026
I'm so familiar with this!
63
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,396
Lincoln Highway beat out
Route 66 by like 10 years.
64
00:02:42,529 --> 00:02:43,897
It travels coast to coast.
65
00:02:44,031 --> 00:02:45,932
And this gas station
is an iconic point
66
00:02:46,066 --> 00:02:48,535
on the Lincoln Highway
in the state of Iowa.
67
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:50,270
So how did you end
up choosing this?
68
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:52,906
- Everybody asks me that. It
started with the visible pumps.
69
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,108
I knew I needed a visible pump.
70
00:02:55,242 --> 00:02:57,177
And then I came across
a picture of this station
71
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:58,845
and it just spoke
to me right away.
72
00:02:58,979 --> 00:03:00,380
We're going to be
putting a visible pump
73
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:02,582
like the one in this picture,
we're going to be putting it
74
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:03,950
right here in front
of the mural.
75
00:03:04,084 --> 00:03:06,420
And I have an old sign
from my company, Cougar Oil,
76
00:03:06,553 --> 00:03:07,888
we're going to put up.
77
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,556
And then I have a local artist
named Charlie Lucas,
78
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:10,757
they call him the Tin Man.
79
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:13,060
He's actually world-famous
in the art world.
80
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,594
And we're going to build
a gas attendant.
81
00:03:14,728 --> 00:03:16,196
He'll take different pieces
of metal and scrap...
82
00:03:16,329 --> 00:03:18,498
- Oh out of metal.
- Cool. Like weld something up?
83
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:20,667
- So he'll be next to the pump.
- Yes.
84
00:03:20,801 --> 00:03:23,570
- Like 3-D.
- I call it 4-D. (laughs)
85
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:26,106
It closed in 1989,
but they are still trying
86
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:27,574
to preserve the location.
87
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,376
It's actually a historic
preservation site
88
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:31,211
on Lincoln Highway.
89
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:34,581
So I reached out to the owner,
and they gave me their blessing,
90
00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:36,083
which really makes it cool.
91
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:37,684
We have two parts
of the country now
92
00:03:37,818 --> 00:03:39,019
following this whole process.
93
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:40,854
For this one, we're
doing a time-lapse.
94
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:43,957
So it shows him like, it will
take a picture every 30 seconds.
95
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:45,659
And it just (makes whirling
camera noises) you know...
96
00:03:45,792 --> 00:03:47,360
It kind of shows him
filling everything in.
97
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:49,129
- That's awesome!
- Yeah. This is the fourth mural
98
00:03:49,262 --> 00:03:51,098
that Vaughn and I have done
together through an organization
99
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,866
called Arts Revive.
100
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:54,868
So my company partners
with a non-profit,
101
00:03:55,001 --> 00:03:56,369
and we put murals in Selma.
102
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:58,505
And so with this-
- Well we noticed down there,
103
00:03:58,638 --> 00:03:59,906
there was like
a big art gallery.
104
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,908
- Butterflies and the art
gallery, yeah that's all...
105
00:04:02,042 --> 00:04:03,276
- And a big outdoor patio.
- Exactly.
106
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:05,746
We say we build our
community through art.
107
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,315
- What Rex is doing here is
getting people to pay attention.
108
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:10,150
They're going to stop, they're
going to look at the mural,
109
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:11,685
he's creating this moment.
110
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:14,688
They're going to take a picture,
share that on social media.
111
00:04:14,821 --> 00:04:16,389
It gets history out there.
112
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:19,860
This is obvious in honor of
the business you guys ran.
113
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:21,661
- That's correct.
- Dani said that you guys been,
114
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:23,697
what year did you open up,
'71 or something?
115
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,766
1971. We've been in
business 51 years now.
116
00:04:25,899 --> 00:04:27,634
My father founded Cougar Oil.
117
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:30,270
We branched out, but we're
still a Selma company.
118
00:04:30,403 --> 00:04:32,372
This is our roots.
- No kidding.
119
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:33,707
We're looking for this stuff.
120
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,275
You can take the guy
out of Jersey,
121
00:04:35,408 --> 00:04:36,877
but you can't take
Jersey out of the guy.
122
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,478
He's just like, I'm done with
this conversation,
123
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:39,780
here's the flyer.
124
00:04:39,913 --> 00:04:42,749
So you're going to see
like, gas and oil...
125
00:04:42,883 --> 00:04:45,418
Oil cans, signage.
All that stuff.
126
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:46,920
- I actually have
some of this stuff.
127
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:48,455
- I would hope so.
128
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,891
- Yeah, come on, guys, I got
some of this stuff this way.
129
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:53,026
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
130
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:04,838
- Look at how many cactuses...
131
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,007
- I know, I can't even
take my eyes off this...
132
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,775
- Oh I love it.
- Gorgeous.
133
00:05:08,909 --> 00:05:10,844
- Alright. So.
- Okay, focus.
134
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,479
We're going to see
a gentleman named Drew.
135
00:05:12,612 --> 00:05:15,882
So Drew likes tractors,
steam engines, farm equipment.
136
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:18,351
Anything that's like,
ag-related he's into.
137
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:21,154
I'm excited. This sounds
like it's right up my alley.
138
00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:23,623
- Yeah. It's an ag pick.
- I'm ready.
139
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,458
This is it, right here.
This is it?
140
00:05:25,592 --> 00:05:27,294
- This is it, yep this
is it right here.
141
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:29,729
- Wow.
- See what I'm talking about?
142
00:05:29,863 --> 00:05:32,299
- Holy cow.
- It's all big stuff.
143
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:34,834
- Look at those trucks.
- Exactly! See that?
144
00:05:34,968 --> 00:05:36,436
(honks horn)
145
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:41,074
- How're you doing?
- Good.
146
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:43,043
- You Drew?
- I am.
147
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,011
- Rob Wolfe. You talked to Dani?
- Drew!
148
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:47,614
- Dani, hey.
- It's good to see you.
149
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:51,218
Aw, I'm so happy to see you.
This is beautiful.
150
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,652
- Thank you.
- It's crazy.
151
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:54,988
- I am a collector
of all kinds of stuff.
152
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:57,424
On the big equipment
that I collect,
153
00:05:57,557 --> 00:05:59,993
it was my passion of saving it.
154
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:01,595
- Look at this though.
155
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:04,598
- I guess the biggest thing is,
is I just don't want to see
156
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:05,799
the stuff disappear.
157
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:07,534
- It's been sitting for a while
158
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,569
and so we thought
we'd fire her up
159
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:12,239
and see if we can get her to go.
This is Al up here.
160
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,740
- Hey Al.
- Good to see you guys.
161
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:15,742
- Are you the fire tender?
- Yes, something like that.
162
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:17,644
- It reminds me of...
163
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:19,779
What's the movie...
The Polar Express?
164
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,982
- Oh yeah. Yeah, there you go.
- Amazing.
165
00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:24,484
- So what year is this thing?
- 1920.
166
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:28,722
So Al, he is the man on
getting this stuff going.
167
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:31,625
He's done steam for
how many years, Al?
168
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:32,959
- Since 1975.
169
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,262
It's so great to get the
knowledge
170
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,564
of these older guys on steam,
171
00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:41,167
to where I learn it, and then I
can teach it to other people.
172
00:06:41,301 --> 00:06:42,736
Hey Al, do you have this?
173
00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:45,572
I was going to show these guys a
little bit of stuff around here.
174
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:46,740
- Absolutely.
- Alright.
175
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:48,808
- It's hurry up and wait now.
- Nice to meet ya.
176
00:06:48,942 --> 00:06:51,411
- Hurry up and wait now,
that's how it is with steam?
177
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:53,146
So how many acres
you got out here?
178
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,614
- We got 10 acres right here.
179
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,883
- And none of this was
here before you got here.
180
00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:59,252
- No. I've been out
here since '97.
181
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,254
- Got the collecting bug, huh?
- That's it.
182
00:07:01,388 --> 00:07:03,423
- What's the deal with
this big bad boy?
183
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,126
- Well, this was out
at the town of Coolidge.
184
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,295
This dent over here,
what happened was,
185
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,130
is a cotton picker ran into it.
186
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:13,233
They have a big basket on them.
So they're over-height.
187
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:16,403
He got too close to the side of
the road, and smashed the sign.
188
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:18,371
- Wow.
- So they put a new one up.
189
00:07:18,505 --> 00:07:20,440
- For this thing getting hit by
a cotton picker,
190
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:21,975
it's actually not in bad shape.
191
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,444
Somebody must have painted
over this or something.
192
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:27,614
- I just kind of thought that
that was the old look of Rexall.
193
00:07:27,747 --> 00:07:30,016
- I'd strip that off,
is what I would do.
194
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:31,685
'Cause the blue is
underneath there.
195
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:33,853
Somebody painted it yellow. Why?
196
00:07:33,987 --> 00:07:36,856
I have no clue. I mean, it's
rubbing off on my hands.
197
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,225
- I know the other sign,
it's all blue.
198
00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,261
- You have another one of these?
- Yeah.
199
00:07:41,394 --> 00:07:42,429
- Oh wow.
200
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:44,497
- Yeah, so that was the new
one that they put up.
201
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,700
- Oh, after this one got-
- After this one.
202
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:48,435
- And you got 'em both.
- Correct.
203
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:50,370
I've not seen this sign with
this art deco-ness on here.
204
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:51,771
This is kind of cool.
205
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:53,473
Typically when you find these
Rexall signs,
206
00:07:53,606 --> 00:07:55,008
it's just the round
piece in the middle.
207
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:57,844
This one's got art deco
stainless steel.
208
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,579
I mean, is this
something you'd sell?
209
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:01,548
- We're working on
getting a museum out here.
210
00:08:01,681 --> 00:08:04,351
And I think this one would
be a good fit for the museum.
211
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:06,786
- The story?
- Right, the story.
212
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,089
I think the other one would
be a better fit for you.
213
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:11,157
- Alright, I understand it.
I'll look at the other one.
214
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:18,698
- This place is huge.
- Yeah no, we've got...
215
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:20,200
We've got a big space here.
216
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,168
- This probably at one
time was a façade.
217
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:24,704
- This current building
was a Dodge dealership.
218
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:26,773
- Okay, so the whole thing
was a Dodge dealership.
219
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:28,174
- Yeah, it was called
Hooper Motor Company.
220
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,443
So we've been here since 1971.
221
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:32,746
- So from the very beginning,
you were in this building.
222
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:34,481
- We've been here from
the very beginning.
223
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:36,182
You know, we love
Water Avenue and...
224
00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:38,351
- Wow, man.
- ...and the area down here, so.
225
00:08:38,485 --> 00:08:40,553
- This is awesome, man.
- Look at these desks, Mike.
226
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:42,222
- Look at that.
What time period's this from?
227
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:44,657
- This is probably 1860,
around Civil War.
228
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:46,059
- Where did you guys
find this at?
229
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,627
- It's just been
something my family had.
230
00:08:47,761 --> 00:08:50,096
You know, as family members have
passed away, we've gotten
231
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:51,464
different furniture and stuff.
232
00:08:51,598 --> 00:08:53,366
- This is not
self-assembled furniture.
233
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,068
This is not something that's
going to be falling apart
234
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,203
in 10 years and you're
throwing it in the trash.
235
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:59,606
Like this is purposely built for
like a hotel desk or something.
236
00:08:59,739 --> 00:09:01,408
It's going to last you forever.
237
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,877
Is this something you'd consider
selling, you want to sell that?
- Yeah, absolutely.
238
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:06,679
- So what do you want
for something like that?
- What would you offer be?
239
00:09:06,813 --> 00:09:10,984
Um, alright so this piece is
like, it doesn't open up.
240
00:09:11,117 --> 00:09:13,286
If this is always meant to
be just a solid piece.
241
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,655
And this crack here
has got to be repaired.
242
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:17,624
- Oh that's a crack.
- It's a crack.
243
00:09:17,757 --> 00:09:19,526
- Oh I thought the top
opened up like this.
244
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:21,861
- No, no, no.
Look inside, Mike, you see?
245
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:23,897
You can see it, like inside...
246
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:27,000
It's just, it's all purpose
built, just the way it is.
247
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:30,136
You see like, the dovetails on
here, the hand-cut dovetail.
248
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,772
A hand-cut dovetail
is a wide dovetail.
249
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:35,141
You could see
the saw marks in the wood.
250
00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:37,744
It looks so different than
a machine-cut dovetail,
251
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:39,946
which is very
consistent and smaller.
252
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,415
It's not a piece of junk
because it's walnut.
253
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:45,385
I mean, somebody put some value
in, walnut was expensive wood.
254
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:48,054
The secondary woods are poplar,
which are inexpensive woods,
255
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,923
and that's why they're in
the inside the chest.
256
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,691
- If there's some wood,
he's going to talk about it.
257
00:09:51,825 --> 00:09:53,960
I mean, he's like,
Professor Woodrow Wood.
258
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,930
And I love that, because
I'm learning constantly,
259
00:09:57,063 --> 00:09:59,699
and so is the person
that has the piece.
260
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:01,167
- And it's been refinished.
261
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:03,136
If it had an old original
varnish finish on it,
262
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:04,604
it would be so cool.
263
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:08,875
The hand-cut dovetails tells me
that this piece is pre-1880.
264
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:11,544
The primary woods and the way
that they are surfaced tells me
265
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:13,179
that this piece
is pre-Civil War.
266
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:15,448
The way it stands, the way it-
if you didn't do anything to it,
267
00:10:15,582 --> 00:10:17,116
you could probably
get maybe 450,
268
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:18,418
maybe 500 bucks out of this.
269
00:10:18,551 --> 00:10:20,286
- You know, what would
your, you know...
270
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:23,022
- Well because it needs work,
furniture values are not
what they used to be.
271
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:24,924
I would go like
two and a quarter on it.
272
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:27,260
Two and a quarter, how about,
would you do 250?
273
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:31,431
- Yeah, alright, 250.
Alright. Thank you.
274
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,933
It's a primitive, it's cool,
it'll fit in any décor.
275
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:36,603
I want to get this piece in the
shop, put a little work into it,
276
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:38,438
and get it to somebody as
passionate
277
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,672
about the furniture as I am.
278
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:53,853
- Here's what you got going on
that I'm excited about.
279
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,089
The 260-Z.
- The 260, yeah.
280
00:10:56,222 --> 00:10:59,092
- Sexy car.
- So I had a 240, you know.
281
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,060
And that was one of the
funnest cars I ever-
282
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:03,096
- Really? You had
one of these things?
- Oh yeah, man.
283
00:11:03,229 --> 00:11:06,132
- Originally, this car
belonged to my father.
284
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:09,302
And my grandfather
had to have this car.
285
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,639
And so he bought it, and the
rest of his life, he drove it.
286
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:14,974
- These are great cars, man.
Mine was a 240.
287
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:16,476
And I think it was a '70.
288
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:18,578
It was an incredible car for me.
289
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:20,346
I mean, it was
a poor man's sports car.
290
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,849
I think I scraped up like
1,200 bucks to buy this car,
291
00:11:22,982 --> 00:11:25,018
and I had about
$30,000 worth of fun.
292
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,353
So you guys going to sell this?
What are you doing with this?
293
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:29,522
No. This is just sentimental
value,
294
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:31,357
because of the time
my grandfather spent in it.
295
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:32,959
- These are great cars.
I'll tell you what,
296
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:34,761
these have come around, man,
these are very collectable.
297
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:39,232
This 260, they're anywhere from
$15,000 to $30,000,
298
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:42,569
depending on obviously
the condition, the originality.
299
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:45,204
This car needs some work, it's
been sitting for a long time.
300
00:11:45,338 --> 00:11:47,273
But it's still
a very desirable car.
301
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:49,542
- Whoa, look at this
Cougar sign, man!
302
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,045
- Oh yeah.
- That is outrageous! Wow!
303
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:53,980
- Yes. This is one of my
favorites right there.
304
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:55,648
- I've never seen
anything like this.
305
00:11:55,782 --> 00:11:57,050
Have you ever seen
anything like this, Mike?
306
00:11:57,183 --> 00:11:58,551
- No, man, I've never
seen that sign.
307
00:11:58,685 --> 00:11:59,986
- So if you guys had
service stations...
308
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:02,155
Were these the signs hanging
on the outside of them?
309
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:03,790
- They were, they were.
This was our brand.
310
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,959
- How old is this sign?
- Uh, '70s.
311
00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:08,094
- It's unbelievable, man.
- It's really amazing.
312
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,496
- Yes. It's double-sided.
- Let me see it.
313
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:13,266
But this was actually, one of
them with the frame and all,
314
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,669
that was actually hanging,
315
00:12:16,803 --> 00:12:18,504
and it's got weight to it, guys.
316
00:12:18,638 --> 00:12:20,940
- To see this sign in the
original building
317
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:23,977
that the company was founded in,
is pretty damn cool.
318
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,578
So how many of these
were made then?
319
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:26,913
How many stations
did you guys have?
320
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:29,115
- Oh, 13 or 14 back in the day.
321
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:31,217
And we had a lot that
were scrapped and stuff.
322
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:33,519
Yeah, people didn't
realize the value.
323
00:12:33,653 --> 00:12:36,189
- How many of these do you have?
- Just a couple.
324
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:37,857
- No kidding. And they're
both in this condition?
325
00:12:37,991 --> 00:12:39,359
- They are.
326
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:41,427
- This sign is 1971,
but gas and oil stuff
327
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:42,895
is really hot right now.
328
00:12:43,029 --> 00:12:45,231
So all these small
independent brands,
329
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:48,268
especially brands with animals
on them, are extremely hot.
330
00:12:48,401 --> 00:12:51,270
So this is incredible.
331
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:53,439
- Back when we had these 13
sites, and you know,
332
00:12:53,573 --> 00:12:56,009
we had an Air Force base and
different things around town.
333
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:57,543
We had a larger population.
334
00:12:57,677 --> 00:12:58,911
But the nice thing is,
335
00:12:59,045 --> 00:13:01,247
it's an exciting time. We're
starting to redevelop things.
336
00:13:01,381 --> 00:13:03,750
If you come back in a couple of
years, you're not going to
recognize this.
337
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:06,419
We saw down the road
here right on the street,
there was a hotel down there.
338
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:07,520
- The hotel's
amazing over there.
339
00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:10,156
They just put 7 million
dollars into that hotel.
340
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:12,158
- Really!
- Yeah, the St. James.
341
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:14,193
That was like the first
thing that got changed.
342
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:16,062
- Okay, that was the anchor.
- The anchor.
343
00:13:16,195 --> 00:13:18,698
And we think Water Avenue,
which we're on, is an anchor
344
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:20,266
for the redevelopment of Selma.
345
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,502
Selma has a tremendous history.
346
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:25,104
I mean, going back to the 1800s
when cotton was king.
347
00:13:25,238 --> 00:13:28,641
Now, Selma is best known for the
Civil Rights struggle,
348
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:31,644
which we played
an enormous role in, you know.
349
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:33,413
I like to tell people
we're the capital
350
00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:35,648
of the Civil Rights
Movement here.
351
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:37,283
Now we've just decided
that it was a good time
352
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:39,419
to kind of circle back
where we began.
353
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:41,087
We've brought
the Cougar brand back
354
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:42,955
and we're selling Cougar
fuels throughout the Southeast.
355
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:44,691
- No kidding.
- Fantastic. Congratulations.
356
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:47,493
- Thank you. The Cougar sign
has a lot of sentimental value.
357
00:13:47,627 --> 00:13:51,564
But you know, now it's something
that not only from the past.
358
00:13:51,698 --> 00:13:54,233
For this particular one,
it's probably going to go up
near the mural.
359
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:56,169
So it'll be hung on
the pole out there.
360
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:57,937
So it's kind of part
of the whole project.
361
00:13:58,071 --> 00:14:00,440
- No kidding. So you're
going to hang this back
on the original pole?
362
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:01,974
- Yes.
- That's awesome!
363
00:14:02,108 --> 00:14:04,744
You know, I haven't planned,
but I do have one that
364
00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:06,112
I might entertain selling.
365
00:14:06,245 --> 00:14:07,814
You know, I'd have to
think about it for...
366
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:09,582
- Well let me,
to be honest with you,
367
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:12,318
if you're kind of entertaining
selling one, let me think about
368
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:14,153
what I would even offer you.
369
00:14:14,287 --> 00:14:17,023
Because I've never seen one.
So I've never seen one sell.
370
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:19,225
I mean, anything with
animals on it is hot.
371
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:22,762
And this is porcelain, it's gas
and oil, and then it's southern.
372
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:24,931
In this community, it's...
373
00:14:25,064 --> 00:14:26,632
It's got a lot going on.
- Yeah.
374
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:36,909
- Holy cow.
What year is this machine?
375
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,311
- This is early '30s.
376
00:14:38,444 --> 00:14:40,546
- Man, when you talk
about primitive.
377
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,849
- Yeah. I had to buy it
because it reminded me
378
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:44,684
so much of my dad's stories.
379
00:14:44,817 --> 00:14:46,953
You know, riding on the combine
with my dad,
380
00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:49,655
he had an old pipe
that he would smoke.
381
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:51,991
And the memories of
that was so great.
382
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:54,827
And then whenever I got older,
I got to drive the tractors.
383
00:14:54,961 --> 00:14:57,730
So I think it just kind
of bled me into this.
384
00:14:57,864 --> 00:15:00,900
So this shed over here,
I've got more stuff.
385
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,703
- This is a problem with the guy
that's got a lot of sheds
on his property.
386
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:06,139
'Cause they all get cram
packed with everything.
387
00:15:06,272 --> 00:15:07,707
- Well, you fill one up...
388
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,042
- You fill one up,
you go to the next one.
389
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:12,712
Man, look at those
branding irons.
390
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:16,115
Some killer stuff in here.
391
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:17,984
I see you got
a nice crock in here.
392
00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:20,820
- Yeah, there's a crock there.
- It's got cracks on it though.
393
00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:22,121
- That makes it look better.
394
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:24,357
- What's the deal with
this sign that's in here?
395
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:26,092
- What is that one?
396
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:27,894
- Dixie Gas.
- Oh it is?
397
00:15:28,027 --> 00:15:29,529
You know, I kind
of forgot I had that.
398
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:30,963
- Where the heck did the...
399
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:32,498
Why would this sign
be down here?
400
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:35,368
Dixie was one of those regional
brands out of Louisiana.
401
00:15:35,501 --> 00:15:37,136
And you just don't find them.
402
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:40,640
- You know, it came out
of a museum in Yuma
403
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:41,741
called The Tractor Dome.
404
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:43,910
- To find it out here
in the middle of Arizona,
405
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:45,211
very unusual.
406
00:15:45,344 --> 00:15:47,213
- Not perfect by no means.
407
00:15:48,815 --> 00:15:51,150
It's actually in pretty
good shape, I think.
408
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:56,456
A little fade to it,
but it'd clean up.
409
00:15:57,423 --> 00:15:58,658
That's a pretty rare
sign, actually.
410
00:15:58,791 --> 00:15:59,926
- Is it?
- Yeah.
411
00:16:00,059 --> 00:16:01,227
Dixie Gas, anything
with Dixie on it.
412
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,362
The other side's not that bad.
413
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:05,298
I mean, it's got some chalkiness
to it, that's the only thing,
414
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:06,899
when you look at it.
415
00:16:07,033 --> 00:16:10,203
But you can put some special wax
on that and let it soak in.
416
00:16:10,336 --> 00:16:12,972
But if this thing
was dead mint, 5K plus.
417
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:14,373
- Really?
- Yeah.
418
00:16:14,507 --> 00:16:17,076
And when I mean mint, it's got
to be like 9.75, not a hit,
419
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:18,845
not a scratch, nothing.
420
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,380
Right. What are you
thinking, a few grand?
421
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:28,387
1,800.
422
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,392
Hmm.
423
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,331
How about 1,900?
424
00:16:46,906 --> 00:16:48,574
- I'm doing it.
- Alright.
425
00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:51,811
I was surprised that he threw
out the number that he had,
426
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:54,180
but of course I had to bump
him a little bit on it.
427
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:04,757
- So these were other brands you
guys were selling gas to then.
428
00:17:04,891 --> 00:17:08,394
- That's right it's kind of like
the evolution of our brands.
429
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:12,465
We started Cougar,
and then we went 76,
430
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:15,835
and then 76 pulled out
of the Southeast.
431
00:17:15,968 --> 00:17:17,803
And so my father and a group
of other guys
432
00:17:17,937 --> 00:17:19,705
formed the Pure Co-op.
433
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,707
We brought the
brand back to life.
434
00:17:21,841 --> 00:17:24,577
- Pure Oil Company has
been around since 1914.
435
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:27,914
So it's pretty cool that Rex
and a few other people
436
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,349
have rebranded that,
brought it back to the market,
437
00:17:30,483 --> 00:17:31,717
reintroduced it.
438
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,819
It's so cool you guys are
preserving this brand.
439
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:35,121
Oh yeah. Absolutely.
440
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:36,822
What about this piece?
441
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:38,624
I mean, this is not
a big money sign.
442
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:40,426
Especially because it's plastic.
443
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,462
But with signs escalating
the way they are value-wise,
444
00:17:43,596 --> 00:17:46,832
this is the stuff that,
you know, I don't want to say
445
00:17:46,966 --> 00:17:49,435
the future of advertising,
but it's the future of it
446
00:17:49,568 --> 00:17:52,271
in a way that people
can afford to get into it.
447
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:56,175
You know, this has no
sentimental attachment.
448
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:58,144
What would you be interested in?
449
00:17:58,277 --> 00:17:59,879
I'd be interested in it for...
450
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,748
For like 200 bucks,
to be honest with you,
451
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:04,050
I think the retail
on it's probably...
452
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:07,486
- Plastic sign.
- 350 to four and a quarter.
453
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,523
- Sounds good to me.
- Alright.
454
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:12,758
(laughs) Thanks, man.
And it's not a space saver, man.
455
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:27,340
- What about the car?
Who restored this car?
456
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:29,742
- This was actually
my aunt's father.
457
00:18:29,875 --> 00:18:32,078
He was a Model A enthusiast.
458
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:34,113
I can remember Mr. Woody being
in the parades
459
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:35,081
when I was younger.
460
00:18:35,214 --> 00:18:37,350
Oh this is actually
in good shape.
461
00:18:37,483 --> 00:18:39,885
- Whoever the king of
the parade or the queen
462
00:18:40,019 --> 00:18:41,520
would get to ride
in the rumble seat.
463
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:43,222
So that was pretty neat.
464
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:45,591
- So what's going on with this,
are you guys going to sell this?
465
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:47,960
- Well, this belongs to my aunt.
And I mean, she's actually here.
466
00:18:48,094 --> 00:18:50,997
- You want me to go get her?
- I'll listen to a number
on it, yeah.
467
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,398
- Alright, let me go get her.
468
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:54,800
- You know, my aunt Amelia,
had all this collection of stuff
469
00:18:54,934 --> 00:18:57,203
that's been in the building
for over 30 years.
470
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:59,839
And she was overwhelmed.
Alright guys, I found her.
471
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:01,374
- Hey!
- Awesome.
472
00:19:01,507 --> 00:19:03,843
If I can help her sell some of
these things, you know,
473
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:04,977
that'll be great.
474
00:19:05,111 --> 00:19:07,580
- Are you the Model A owner?
- She is.
475
00:19:07,713 --> 00:19:09,415
This is my Aunt Amelia Jones.
476
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:12,284
- Hi.
- Her father, Woody
had this stuff.
477
00:19:12,418 --> 00:19:14,020
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
478
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,488
- Hey, I'm Mike.
- Hey Mike.
479
00:19:15,621 --> 00:19:16,756
- How are you?
- Good.
480
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:18,224
- I'm Jon.
- It's a great car.
481
00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:21,093
- My father was Oliver
Woodruff Rives.
482
00:19:21,227 --> 00:19:23,262
He loved to collect.
483
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:24,997
His passion was collecting
484
00:19:25,131 --> 00:19:27,967
Model A cars and parts.
485
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:29,368
- I love the colors.
486
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:32,371
Ford had such interesting
color choices for rims.
487
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,140
- And he was always
working on something.
488
00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:36,275
- What are you guys'
plans for this?
What are you thinking?
489
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:38,911
- Well, we'd like to sell
it for the right price.
490
00:19:39,045 --> 00:19:40,780
- Okay. So you guys
have thought about it,
491
00:19:40,913 --> 00:19:42,348
and it's something
you're going to sell.
492
00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:44,450
So how long ago did
he restore this car?
493
00:19:44,617 --> 00:19:46,452
- I think it was
in the early '70s.
494
00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:48,721
- And did he do most
of the work himself?
495
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,656
- He did it all himself.
- Really.
496
00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:53,025
- Put a lot of time into it.
- It's done really well.
497
00:19:53,159 --> 00:19:54,326
- Good.
- I mean, it really is.
498
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:57,663
For a restoration that's not
like Concours D'Elegance
499
00:19:57,797 --> 00:20:00,633
museum-quality, it's
a restoration for a driver.
500
00:20:00,766 --> 00:20:02,501
- Right.
- Did he have other cars?
501
00:20:02,635 --> 00:20:04,603
I have this and the Model A
pickup,
502
00:20:04,737 --> 00:20:07,840
which isn't restored yet,
all the pieces there though.
503
00:20:07,973 --> 00:20:10,242
Okay. And that one's
not put together.
504
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:11,110
- No.
- Okay.
505
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:12,778
- He could repair anything.
506
00:20:12,912 --> 00:20:14,780
- And he traveled all
over the United States
507
00:20:14,914 --> 00:20:18,250
looking for Model A cars
and trucks and parts.
508
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,453
- So it was definitely more than
a hobby for him,
509
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:21,720
it was a passion.
510
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,255
- Exactly.
- Okay.
511
00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:25,991
So have you talked to anybody in
regards to value of the car?
512
00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:28,828
- I had heard maybe it's
worth about 10,000.
513
00:20:29,762 --> 00:20:32,965
- In this condition, sitting for
as long as it has, probably...
514
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:35,201
- We'd have to go through the
motor and see what's going on.
515
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:36,669
If it turns over.
516
00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:38,637
There's a lot of little
things you got to figure out.
517
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,173
- This car is
a legacy piece to her.
518
00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:42,775
Once we said the $10,000 number,
519
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:44,944
I could tell that's
the number she wants to get.
520
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:47,346
And she probably will to
the right guy that's local
521
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,548
that doesn't have to pay
shipping and all that stuff.
522
00:20:49,682 --> 00:20:51,117
Where is the um...
523
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:53,085
The truck you said you have,
you got a truck in pieces?
524
00:20:53,219 --> 00:20:54,286
- Yes.
- Where's that at?
525
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:55,754
In the next room.
526
00:20:55,888 --> 00:20:57,289
- Can we look at that?
- Sure.
527
00:20:57,423 --> 00:20:58,858
And then kind of
think about this?
528
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:08,868
I saw you got some branding
irons in here,
529
00:21:09,001 --> 00:21:10,269
like a whole pile of them.
530
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:12,338
- Yeah.
- What's the deal with these?
531
00:21:12,471 --> 00:21:14,240
You know, a guy
532
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:15,908
had a collection of these
533
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:17,910
and I bought the whole
collection from him,
534
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:20,346
and I really haven't done
much research on them.
535
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:23,582
I mean, I'd be interested
in all of them.
536
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:26,919
Well, I might want
to keep a couple.
537
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:28,654
Let's lay these out here.
538
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:30,356
Let's figure out how
many you got here.
539
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:33,225
There's a lot of them in here.
540
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,595
- They actually had
different designs too,
541
00:21:36,729 --> 00:21:37,830
like this guy here...
542
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:41,033
- Yeah, what is that?
- That's a cowboy.
543
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:44,170
With the branding irons,
that was the mark of the ranch.
544
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,672
If the cow got out of
the rancher's property
545
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:48,808
and to another rancher's
property,
546
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:51,677
they could identify their
cattle through that brand.
547
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,879
So like this one here
I'll probably keep.
548
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:56,015
- Double-H.
- Yeah, Double-H, so.
549
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,483
I just couldn't pass them up.
550
00:21:57,616 --> 00:21:59,685
It's just so involved
to figure out
551
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:01,253
where it came from originally,
552
00:22:01,387 --> 00:22:04,023
that I figured I'd let
Robbie handle that.
553
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,457
- 24.
554
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:07,726
- 24 of them? Hmm.
555
00:22:09,728 --> 00:22:11,297
460 bucks.
556
00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:13,866
I'm terrible at math.
What do you...
557
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,869
- That's 20, I'm coming up
with $20 apiece.
558
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,505
- $20 apiece?
40 bucks, instead of 20.
559
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:21,941
(groans) So here's
the deal on these.
560
00:22:22,074 --> 00:22:23,609
The more ornate they are,
561
00:22:23,742 --> 00:22:24,910
the more money they're
going to demand.
562
00:22:25,044 --> 00:22:26,979
I mean, this one that you
said was a cowboy,
563
00:22:27,112 --> 00:22:28,647
that's kind of unusual.
564
00:22:28,781 --> 00:22:31,517
Well, I know some of them's
going to be, 70, $80.
565
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:33,419
Some of them probably $10,
so you know,
566
00:22:33,552 --> 00:22:35,421
averaging about 40
would be about right.
567
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:38,991
- 25 bucks apiece.
568
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,062
- How about 30?
569
00:22:49,401 --> 00:22:50,469
- 27.
570
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:52,538
- Oh, you're killing me.
- I'm gonna kill ya.
571
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:54,106
- 28.50.
572
00:22:56,642 --> 00:22:58,510
- Just make it 600
for all of them.
573
00:22:58,644 --> 00:23:00,412
- I'll tell you what,
let's do 650.
574
00:23:03,148 --> 00:23:04,783
- 625.
575
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:06,819
(sighs)
576
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:09,288
You're taking way too much
meat off of these.
577
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:14,493
You're at 625
and I want to be 650.
578
00:23:14,627 --> 00:23:16,161
So 650...
579
00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:17,496
(laughs) Dang...
580
00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:19,098
- 650.
- Alright.
581
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,633
He was playing hardball,
582
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:23,435
but I enjoy the bickering
back and forth.
583
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:25,237
I think he squeaks
a little bit sometimes.
584
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:38,450
- Alright yeah, this
sucker is in pieces.
585
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,119
So I see you got the cab here.
586
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,887
You got a few extra frames.
587
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:43,589
He was heavy into it.
588
00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:45,824
So why didn't he
finish this truck?
589
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:47,293
Well, about that time,
590
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:50,229
we were able to acquire
591
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:52,231
an 1829 antebellum home.
592
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:54,800
And had to be moved.
593
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:57,569
And he volunteered to
help at 65 years old.
594
00:23:57,703 --> 00:24:00,406
- So you guys actually had to
take it apart then, to move it?
595
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:02,374
- Oh yes.
And then put it back together.
596
00:24:02,508 --> 00:24:04,143
- Wow...
-And um...
597
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:06,278
- Did they finish that?
- He did, he finished it.
598
00:24:06,412 --> 00:24:08,180
And now it took about
three or four years.
599
00:24:08,314 --> 00:24:11,283
But by the time he was
about through, he got sick.
600
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,919
And he died.
- Oh I'm sorry.
601
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:16,956
So he could not
finish his pickup.
602
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:18,590
And on his deathbed,
603
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:20,459
he wanted me to make
two promises.
604
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:22,962
That I would take care
of mother, which I did.
605
00:24:23,095 --> 00:24:25,964
And that I would have his
pickup truck put together.
606
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:27,733
There it is.
- Okay.
607
00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:30,736
(sighs) It's a bigger project
608
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:33,105
than I would want to
personally take on.
609
00:24:33,238 --> 00:24:35,674
But Jon and I both know guys
that are into trucks.
610
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:38,744
And we can, we can talk to them.
611
00:24:38,877 --> 00:24:40,846
In order to get her
the most money,
612
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:42,314
I don't need to be
the middleman here.
613
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:46,085
I know people that can take this
truck across the finish line,
614
00:24:46,218 --> 00:24:49,088
restore it, put it back on the
road, where it needs to be,
615
00:24:49,221 --> 00:24:50,589
instead of just a pile of parts.
616
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:52,558
What about this pump here?
- Sure. I'd sell it.
617
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:06,739
- What about this pump here?
- Sure. I'd sell it.
618
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:09,274
- Okay so this is
called a Mae West.
619
00:25:09,408 --> 00:25:10,976
Has anybody told you guys that?
620
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:12,478
Okay, see the figure?
621
00:25:12,611 --> 00:25:14,380
See how it goes like this?
- Oh really!
622
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,983
It's kind of a slight
hourglass shape to it.
623
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:21,320
Visible pumps were around from
the 'teens through the 1920s.
624
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:22,821
This was made by Fry,
625
00:25:22,955 --> 00:25:26,058
and it is an iconic pump
when it comes to petroliana.
626
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:27,326
The Mae West pump might be
627
00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:29,028
one of the sexiest pumps
they've ever made.
628
00:25:29,161 --> 00:25:30,696
See the gallon markings?
629
00:25:30,829 --> 00:25:32,564
- Is this cracked
anywhere on that side?
630
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:35,167
- Yeah, you got a crack right
here, Mike, look it,
631
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:36,735
all the way down.
632
00:25:36,869 --> 00:25:39,438
- Oh yeah it is, okay.
633
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:41,206
- Which is kind of a big deal.
634
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:43,308
This hinge is rotted
off, kind of.
635
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:44,977
- Yeah, it's been sitting
outside for a long time.
636
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:47,913
It's beautiful though.
Was that your dad's?
637
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:50,082
- He kept it by his shop.
638
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:53,786
- OK, alright. I think the
retail number on that, uhh...
639
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:55,721
(exhales)
640
00:25:55,854 --> 00:25:58,424
1,800 bucks, in that shape.
641
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,292
Do you have any idea
what you'd want for it?
642
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:03,328
What do you want for it?
643
00:26:03,462 --> 00:26:05,097
You want 2,000 bucks?
644
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:08,033
(all laugh)
- You're right on the money.
645
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:09,735
I can't do 2,000 bucks on it.
646
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:11,303
It's got a cracked cylinder.
647
00:26:11,437 --> 00:26:12,604
- Oh.
- Yeah.
648
00:26:12,738 --> 00:26:14,139
(laughs)
649
00:26:14,273 --> 00:26:16,108
Did you have to see that?
- I know.
650
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:17,810
I thought it was a shadow.
651
00:26:17,943 --> 00:26:20,012
- Are you sure it's not
a drip of paint?
652
00:26:20,145 --> 00:26:22,381
- No, it's a crack. This
cylinder's definitely cracked.
653
00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:25,284
- That's not a bird dropping.
- It's not a bird dropping, no.
654
00:26:26,218 --> 00:26:27,453
- Let me think about it,
655
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,121
'cause there's other
stuff to look at here.
656
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:30,422
- Okay.
657
00:26:30,556 --> 00:26:32,458
- So Amelia, what about the
elephant in the room right here?
658
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,159
This thing is
a good looking sign.
659
00:26:34,293 --> 00:26:35,861
It's got a great paint on it.
660
00:26:35,994 --> 00:26:37,963
The base is there,
the original base.
661
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:39,665
It's got the original
holder for this sign.
662
00:26:39,798 --> 00:26:43,335
But the problem is this side.
663
00:26:43,469 --> 00:26:44,369
- Yeah.
664
00:26:44,503 --> 00:26:45,804
- You can see that's
all coming off,
665
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:47,906
the paint's coming
off of here.
666
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,575
That's the money side.
667
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:51,176
Is this something
you'd consider selling?
668
00:26:51,310 --> 00:26:52,611
- Sure.
669
00:26:52,744 --> 00:26:55,714
- What were you thinking
about you'd want for it?
670
00:26:58,016 --> 00:26:59,084
- 750?
671
00:26:59,218 --> 00:27:00,519
- Hmm.
672
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:02,187
- We're buying signs
you can read.
673
00:27:02,321 --> 00:27:04,556
One side you can't read,
so to me,
674
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:06,692
I got to get this price
at half the value.
675
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:09,495
I don't think I'm going to go
anymore than 500 on the thing.
676
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:12,297
That's as far as I can
go on something like that.
677
00:27:12,431 --> 00:27:13,632
- 550?
678
00:27:13,765 --> 00:27:15,067
- Ugh...
679
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,669
- Oh come on, look how
good that one side is.
680
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:21,106
You're only going to be looking
at one side, put it to the wall.
681
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,375
- You can put, you can put
this side against the wall.
682
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:24,409
(laughs)
- That's right.
683
00:27:24,543 --> 00:27:27,613
Ugh... Alright, 550.
684
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:28,914
- Alright.
- Thank you.
685
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:30,349
- Alright.
686
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,217
- I was pleased with what
they offered, yeah.
687
00:27:32,351 --> 00:27:33,886
- It's a good deal for everyone.
- Alright.
688
00:27:38,357 --> 00:27:40,993
- This one here,
I was in an auction,
689
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:43,295
and I loved this one painting.
690
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:44,663
- Okay.
691
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:47,733
- But to get the painting,
I had to buy the whole lot.
692
00:27:47,866 --> 00:27:50,035
(laughs) And you did.
693
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:51,403
So... I did.
694
00:27:51,537 --> 00:27:53,772
And it's like well, what do I do
with all these other paintings?
695
00:27:53,906 --> 00:27:55,807
So I stuck them in a shed.
696
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:01,446
It's going to be a little
bit tight to get in here.
697
00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:03,382
20 years later, it's like...
698
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,250
It's been 20 years?
699
00:28:05,384 --> 00:28:08,420
(laughing) So here, here we go.
700
00:28:08,554 --> 00:28:11,623
- Kenny Rogers.
Ohh, woo-woo...
701
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,225
- Merle Haggard.
702
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,861
Right here, here's
your favorite person.
703
00:28:15,994 --> 00:28:17,262
- Dolly!
- Yeah.
704
00:28:17,396 --> 00:28:19,298
- Hi, how are you?
- Hey, I'm Danielle...
705
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:20,999
- Hi Danielle.
- This is Lauren.
706
00:28:21,133 --> 00:28:22,768
So nice to meet you. I do.
707
00:28:22,901 --> 00:28:25,704
- Yeah, we could be twins.
- We could be!
708
00:28:25,837 --> 00:28:28,206
- Every day of my life, I
have to shut up and ask myself,
709
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:30,776
'shut up, Danielle, what would
Dolly do?'
710
00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:35,280
When you find the trifecta of
Kenny Rogers, Merle Haggard,
711
00:28:35,414 --> 00:28:38,550
and of course, the ultimate
Dolly Parton,
712
00:28:38,684 --> 00:28:39,618
you don't turn your back.
713
00:28:39,751 --> 00:28:41,386
These appear to be
original drawings.
714
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,121
I really hope they are.
715
00:28:43,255 --> 00:28:45,257
What do you got to have
for the three of these?
716
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:48,694
- I don't know...
717
00:28:49,428 --> 00:28:50,829
40 apiece?
718
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,602
- How about 100 for all of them?
719
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:58,870
- How about 110?
720
00:28:59,605 --> 00:29:02,841
- Yeah, I'll do it. For the sake
of Dolly, I'll do it, yeah.
721
00:29:02,975 --> 00:29:04,610
- There you go. Alright.
- Awesome.
722
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,549
- What about the Benz?
- Oh this was my dad's.
723
00:29:10,682 --> 00:29:12,851
- How long has it been stored?
- '90s.
724
00:29:12,985 --> 00:29:14,486
- Can we see it?
- Absolutely.
725
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:16,154
- What is it? It's a...
- 280-E.
726
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:19,725
- 280-E.
Ah, look at that green, man.
727
00:29:19,858 --> 00:29:22,227
It's like a green-grey.
728
00:29:22,961 --> 00:29:25,264
(wolf whistles) Oh yeah.
729
00:29:25,397 --> 00:29:27,099
- That's a great color.
- Woo!
730
00:29:27,232 --> 00:29:28,166
- That's a '77.
731
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:29,434
- This was your dad's car?
- Yes.
732
00:29:29,568 --> 00:29:31,770
- The fact that it's been
sitting since the '90s.
733
00:29:31,903 --> 00:29:34,272
- Oh yeah.
- Man, I mean...
734
00:29:34,406 --> 00:29:36,174
They're iconic cars
and they're super cool,
735
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:38,176
but they're super
expensive to work on.
736
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:40,679
You know, so I'm going to pull
myself away from this thing.
737
00:29:40,812 --> 00:29:42,547
It's hard, but I'm
going to have to do it.
738
00:29:42,681 --> 00:29:44,850
So what's up with
the bicycle shop over here?
739
00:29:44,983 --> 00:29:48,687
- Oh man, so my father was
really into biking for a while.
740
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:51,189
- So your father was
a renaissance man.
741
00:29:51,323 --> 00:29:53,692
I mean, he was into, he
was driving the Mercedes,
742
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:54,960
he was riding a recumbent.
743
00:29:55,093 --> 00:29:56,795
- Yes.
- These aren't cheap bicycles.
744
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:57,863
These are recumbent bicycles.
745
00:29:57,996 --> 00:30:00,599
You sit basically in a reclining
position,
746
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:04,202
your legs are forward in front
of you pedaling like this.
747
00:30:04,336 --> 00:30:07,606
Dude, this is a titanium
bike made in America.
748
00:30:07,739 --> 00:30:09,374
The Litespeed brand.
749
00:30:09,508 --> 00:30:10,976
I used to sell these
at my bike shop.
750
00:30:11,109 --> 00:30:14,012
This is a bicycle, a titanium
bicycle
751
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:15,847
with Campagnolo record
components.
752
00:30:15,981 --> 00:30:17,382
This is a polished frame,
753
00:30:17,516 --> 00:30:19,484
made in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
754
00:30:19,618 --> 00:30:20,719
handmade.
755
00:30:20,852 --> 00:30:22,988
Would you sell this Litespeed?
- Yeah. Yeah we would.
756
00:30:23,121 --> 00:30:24,556
- Oh this thing's nice.
757
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:26,992
This bike back in the day,
was big money.
758
00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:29,728
But right now, these bikes
are extremely cheap
759
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:31,997
because they're kind of
in-between.
760
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:34,533
- That thing's a nice bike.
Look at the wheel.
761
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:37,002
- You know, I'd say this thing
is probably late '90s.
762
00:30:37,135 --> 00:30:38,737
Here we are in 2022.
763
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:40,405
You know, so it's
got some time on it.
764
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:43,175
Give it another 15 years and
it's going to probably explode.
765
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:44,209
600 bucks.
766
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:47,245
- Deal.
767
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:49,381
- Alright, that was easy,
alright thanks, man.
768
00:30:59,758 --> 00:31:02,294
- So I've got, I don't know,
100 plus tractors
769
00:31:02,427 --> 00:31:03,328
that I've collected.
770
00:31:03,462 --> 00:31:06,431
Now this one here, there is
about 10 4H kids
771
00:31:06,565 --> 00:31:07,466
that painted this one.
772
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:09,935
Every year, we were
doing a tractor project.
773
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:11,970
This year was for breast cancer.
774
00:31:12,104 --> 00:31:14,873
And I told them I had
the perfect tractor for it.
775
00:31:15,006 --> 00:31:17,743
4H is such a great organization.
776
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,611
They tore this thing
completely down.
777
00:31:19,745 --> 00:31:21,313
And then brought it back up.
778
00:31:21,446 --> 00:31:24,750
To have these kids come out
here, learn about tractors
779
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:28,687
and learn about how they work,
and bring them back to life.
780
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:30,455
- Wow.
- They did a great job.
781
00:31:34,126 --> 00:31:35,594
- There's the Coke machine.
782
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:37,929
- Yeah, that's Amelia's
stuff back here.
783
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:40,365
- Amelia this is all your stuff?
- It is.
784
00:31:40,499 --> 00:31:42,734
- Yeah, 'fraid so.
(laughs)
785
00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:45,771
My dad's things that he had
collected through the years,
786
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,639
we really don't have
any use for them.
787
00:31:47,773 --> 00:31:50,275
And I want his things
to go to somebody
788
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:51,877
that can enjoy them
and restore them.
789
00:31:52,010 --> 00:31:53,979
- It's a Model 39.
790
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:55,947
It's got the wheel in it.
791
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:57,582
You can see when
you open the door.
792
00:31:57,716 --> 00:31:59,684
It's got the round wheel where
all the bottles went in,
793
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:00,752
it's aluminum.
794
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:02,320
And a lot of times
that's missing.
795
00:32:02,454 --> 00:32:04,022
So that's nice that it's there.
796
00:32:04,156 --> 00:32:05,991
This is a desirable machine,
because it's upright,
797
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:08,126
it's not a cooler,
and it's original paint.
798
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,095
And the fountain just kicks
it up a few notches,
799
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,063
having that on it.
800
00:32:12,197 --> 00:32:15,967
This is a Vendo Model 39,
late '40s, original paint.
801
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:18,570
It's got its nicks
and its scuffs and its dings,
802
00:32:18,703 --> 00:32:19,971
but it's complete.
803
00:32:20,105 --> 00:32:22,174
When I'm looking at this, I'm
looking at it from a perspective
804
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:25,243
of someone buying it
and displaying it.
805
00:32:25,377 --> 00:32:29,014
I mean, I'd be interested in it
the way it sits right now...
806
00:32:29,147 --> 00:32:30,949
for 1,000.
807
00:32:31,082 --> 00:32:34,252
I think the retail on it, number
the way it sits right now...
808
00:32:35,454 --> 00:32:38,590
15, 16? If it ran,
then it goes up.
809
00:32:38,723 --> 00:32:40,192
- Yeah, the compression's not
going to last long
810
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:41,326
even if it does ran.
811
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:42,961
- I don't know, what are
you guys thinking?
812
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:46,031
1,200?
813
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:54,005
I'm going to do it.
814
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:56,308
- Alright.
- There you go.
815
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:57,809
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
816
00:32:57,943 --> 00:32:59,544
- I bought something from you!
- Praise God.
817
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:01,112
(group laughing)
818
00:33:01,246 --> 00:33:02,881
- The fact that this one's been
kept inside
819
00:33:03,014 --> 00:33:05,617
for a number of years,
pushes it to the next level.
820
00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:10,355
Model A door handles.
821
00:33:15,126 --> 00:33:16,828
- Ugh...
822
00:33:16,962 --> 00:33:18,463
Amelia!
- Yes.
823
00:33:19,965 --> 00:33:21,500
Springfield.
- Yeah.
824
00:33:21,633 --> 00:33:23,969
- Paint's nice. 1963.
825
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:26,504
Kelly Tires go back to
the turn-of-the-century.
826
00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:29,040
One of their most popular
signs featured a Kelly Girl.
827
00:33:29,174 --> 00:33:30,575
In the 1920s, women's
independence
828
00:33:30,709 --> 00:33:32,611
was getting a huge push,
and Kelly's advertisement
829
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:35,914
was forward thinking and
controversial in a positive way.
830
00:33:36,047 --> 00:33:38,516
These signs, unfortunately,
don't feature the Kelly Girl,
831
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,952
but they're still valuable
and highly collectable.
832
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:43,321
One, two.
833
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:44,623
500 apiece.
834
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:46,625
- Okay.
= You'd do that?
835
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:48,059
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
836
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:49,427
- We're moving now.
- Cool.
837
00:33:49,561 --> 00:33:51,663
- This is not a porcelain sign,
this is a painted sign.
838
00:33:51,796 --> 00:33:52,797
But they're new-old stock.
839
00:33:52,931 --> 00:33:54,132
They'd never been
distributed before,
840
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:56,034
they never been hung on a wall.
They're in great condition.
841
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:57,736
Let's see if there's
anything else here, Mike.
842
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:04,409
- I was cleaning up a property,
843
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:07,679
and this is what
I found there.
844
00:34:07,812 --> 00:34:10,682
- Ha-ha! Got some
turquoise in here, okay.
845
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:12,784
- Yeah, and there's
other stuff in here...
846
00:34:12,918 --> 00:34:14,753
- Oohh...
847
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:17,088
- Lots of shiny.
- Awesome.
848
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:19,791
Look at those,
lots of cabochon...
849
00:34:19,925 --> 00:34:21,493
Ooh! Turquoise cabochons.
850
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:24,863
Mike Wolfe does
love some turquoise!
851
00:34:24,996 --> 00:34:27,432
So these are
turquoise cabochons.
852
00:34:27,566 --> 00:34:30,235
And they look like there's
all different kinds of them.
853
00:34:30,368 --> 00:34:32,837
- So would you set
that in jewelry?
854
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:34,472
These are ready to
set in jewelry.
855
00:34:34,606 --> 00:34:36,508
The cabochons are
a polished stone.
856
00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:38,610
And usually they're flat on the
back so you can just set them
857
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:39,844
right into a jewelry setting.
858
00:34:39,978 --> 00:34:42,314
You got a bunch of raw
turquoise here too.
859
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:44,382
The raw turquoise is found
as a rock,
860
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:47,819
and it has a beautiful
organic shape to it.
861
00:34:47,953 --> 00:34:50,488
I'm going to give you the best
offer I can, but keep in mind,
862
00:34:50,622 --> 00:34:52,524
I'm not a jeweler, but
I am going to have a jeweler
863
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:53,725
take a look at them.
864
00:34:53,858 --> 00:34:55,694
And if I'm off in price,
865
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,796
I will definitely reach out
to you and let you know...
866
00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,664
- OK.
- And fix that.
867
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:02,934
- Cabochons are really hard to
price, because you have so many
868
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:06,404
different types of turquoise,
and so many different styles.
869
00:35:06,538 --> 00:35:08,173
A wholesale price for a whole
sheet,
870
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:10,141
I would say would be right
around 50 bucks.
871
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:14,179
So if we do 50, 50, 50,
that's 150 here.
872
00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:18,750
And then 250 for the jar
of raw turquoise.
873
00:35:18,917 --> 00:35:21,753
- So we're looking at what, 400?
- 400's perfect.
874
00:35:23,722 --> 00:35:26,391
- Yeah, I will do that.
- Yeah okay, cool.
875
00:35:26,524 --> 00:35:28,526
And I'll let you know if
it's anything different.
876
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:31,196
- I was so impressed
with Dani's knowledge.
877
00:35:31,329 --> 00:35:35,800
It was neat to see how wide of
a knowledge they have on things.
878
00:35:35,934 --> 00:35:39,404
You know, anywhere from
old signs to jewelry.
879
00:35:39,537 --> 00:35:41,573
And paintings.
- I'm super stoked.
880
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,541
I think Mike's going
to be really excited.
881
00:35:43,675 --> 00:35:45,043
I know he really
loves turquoise.
882
00:35:57,355 --> 00:36:00,458
- So I've been collecting for,
since I was 10 years old.
883
00:36:00,592 --> 00:36:02,027
- I got that bug.
884
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,263
- Whenever you're collecting,
you start gathering stuff up
885
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:07,565
that you're not in love with.
- I do that all the time.
886
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:09,401
- And it's time for
somebody else to see it.
887
00:36:09,534 --> 00:36:11,002
This is one of them.
- That's cool.
888
00:36:11,136 --> 00:36:13,371
Yeah, see how this one's
got the blue on it?
889
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,306
- Yeah, and not the- the...
890
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,908
- See, the other one
was painted.
891
00:36:17,042 --> 00:36:18,209
I think that other
one was painted over.
892
00:36:18,343 --> 00:36:20,445
I've seen a million
Rexall Drugs signs.
893
00:36:20,578 --> 00:36:22,280
But this is a version
that I've never seen.
894
00:36:22,414 --> 00:36:24,582
You weren't kidding.
This one is nicer.
895
00:36:24,716 --> 00:36:27,552
Usually when you find these,
it's just the sign here.
896
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:29,487
- Oh really?
- Just the oval piece.
897
00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:32,924
Double bullnoses.
With stainless steel trim.
898
00:36:33,058 --> 00:36:34,659
I mean, this thing
was art deco as can be.
899
00:36:34,793 --> 00:36:36,494
But the bigger stuff is so hard.
900
00:36:36,628 --> 00:36:38,863
You got to find guys that with
higher ceilings, you know.
901
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:40,598
(sighs)
902
00:36:40,732 --> 00:36:42,367
I mean, the neon alone
on this thing
903
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:43,768
is going to be astronomical.
904
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:45,937
Can you lean this
out a little bit?
905
00:36:46,071 --> 00:36:47,672
- It's pretty dang heavy.
906
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:49,974
- There's another sign
behind here too.
907
00:36:50,108 --> 00:36:51,976
- Oh heck, I forgot
about that one.
908
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:53,478
- All the insulators are in
here,
909
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:54,779
none of them are broken out.
910
00:36:54,913 --> 00:36:56,147
I mean, that's a big plus.
911
00:36:56,281 --> 00:36:57,449
This sign's got a couple
whammies on it,
912
00:36:57,582 --> 00:36:59,084
but not that bad.
913
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:00,652
I mean, this isn't too bad.
914
00:37:00,785 --> 00:37:03,388
This is some kid
throwing rocks at it.
915
00:37:03,521 --> 00:37:06,524
- That just adds to
the patina, right?
916
00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:08,159
2,500.
917
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:13,398
For me, it's always about
finishing a project.
918
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:15,033
Putting this back together,
919
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:17,402
and then getting it
back out to the public.
920
00:37:17,535 --> 00:37:20,171
So you're probably
looking at 22,
921
00:37:20,305 --> 00:37:22,574
$2,500 just to get
the neon done.
922
00:37:22,707 --> 00:37:24,342
But if you can imagine
this thing lit up.
923
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:27,312
I mean, this thing was
a showboat back in the day.
924
00:37:27,445 --> 00:37:28,646
- I bet. Yeah.
- But...
925
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:30,515
I mean, by the time
I'd be done with it,
926
00:37:30,648 --> 00:37:33,251
I'd have 5 grand in it,
maybe a little more.
927
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:35,720
- You're at 25 on it?
928
00:37:35,854 --> 00:37:37,422
- The only reason I'm at 2,500
on it,
929
00:37:37,555 --> 00:37:40,024
I think the end-of-the-road on
this sign is probably...
930
00:37:40,158 --> 00:37:41,593
6- 6,500.
931
00:37:41,726 --> 00:37:43,995
How about 2,600?
932
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:49,968
What's this thing say?
933
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,337
Alright...
934
00:37:56,474 --> 00:37:57,909
'Stop-Wear Lubrication.'
935
00:37:58,042 --> 00:38:00,178
- So it doesn't show
any name on it though?
936
00:38:00,311 --> 00:38:03,047
- No. They just, they made
different signs for everything.
937
00:38:03,181 --> 00:38:05,950
You know, Stop-Wear
basically was a lubrication.
938
00:38:06,084 --> 00:38:07,719
I've never seen
this sign before.
939
00:38:07,852 --> 00:38:10,989
It's a little bit beat-up,
but still, it exists.
940
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:13,057
You're at 26 there.
941
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,530
Make it three grand,
for the pair.
942
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:22,367
And the only reason I'm at that,
943
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,802
because that's got a crease
and the damage in the end of it.
944
00:38:27,238 --> 00:38:28,806
- So four for that, then?
- Yep.
945
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:34,479
- Yeah, what the heck.
- Three grand.
946
00:38:34,612 --> 00:38:36,548
Let's go find Danielle.
947
00:38:36,681 --> 00:38:39,484
She's wanting to get into a lot
of mischief on these properties.
948
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:41,052
- She's a little easier
to work with too.
949
00:38:41,186 --> 00:38:43,388
- Oh my gosh... I'm going to
have to talk to her about that.
950
00:38:43,521 --> 00:38:44,889
(laughs)
951
00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:54,599
- How far apart were we
on the gas pump?
952
00:38:54,732 --> 00:38:57,602
I told you what I thought
the retail number on it was.
953
00:38:57,735 --> 00:38:59,571
Like 18 to 2,000.
954
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:02,640
But the cylinder does have a
crack, and there's some...
955
00:39:02,774 --> 00:39:05,076
Here's the deal, all visible
gas pumps are hard to find.
956
00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:06,978
I mean, I'd like to have it.
957
00:39:07,111 --> 00:39:09,080
What would be your
bottom number on that?
958
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:10,748
Like how far apart were we?
959
00:39:13,651 --> 00:39:16,554
I'd like to get 1,250 for it.
960
00:39:19,457 --> 00:39:20,925
- We're getting closer.
961
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:22,560
- Yeah.
- Getting closer...
962
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,329
- How about...
963
00:39:26,664 --> 00:39:28,666
(chuckles)
- No.
964
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,835
- How about 1,200?
965
00:39:30,969 --> 00:39:34,439
- And 50.
(laughs)
966
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:36,474
Alright, 1,250.
967
00:39:36,608 --> 00:39:37,809
- Good job.
968
00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:39,978
- You got to take her to
the swap meet with you.
969
00:39:40,111 --> 00:39:41,813
- I almost felt like letting
her negotiate for me.
970
00:39:41,946 --> 00:39:44,249
This is great. I didn't know
she had all this in her.
971
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,384
The negotiating side of her.
972
00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,219
- I've got some
of my daddy in me.
973
00:39:48,353 --> 00:39:49,487
- Woo! There you go.
974
00:39:49,621 --> 00:39:51,689
- When I was with my dad going
around,
975
00:39:51,823 --> 00:39:53,391
I knew how he negotiated.
976
00:39:53,524 --> 00:39:55,693
And he never went
for the top price.
977
00:39:55,827 --> 00:39:57,695
He would always negotiate down.
978
00:39:57,829 --> 00:40:01,399
Today, I negotiated up,
instead of down.
979
00:40:01,532 --> 00:40:03,034
- Alright, I got to ask.
980
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:05,036
I understand you want to hang
one of the Cougar signs.
981
00:40:05,169 --> 00:40:07,772
Which is awesome. You're going
to hang it on this property.
982
00:40:07,906 --> 00:40:10,275
It'd be neat to get one back out
in the hobby, where it's like,
983
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,377
people are talking about it,
advertising it.
984
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:14,245
I would be interested in one.
985
00:40:14,379 --> 00:40:16,447
- The other one I have is
in the brand new box.
986
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:18,383
So it's sentimental to me.
987
00:40:18,516 --> 00:40:20,918
- I know.
So you won't even entertain
988
00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:22,654
an offer on the other one.
989
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:25,356
These signs are part
of his family's legacy.
990
00:40:25,490 --> 00:40:28,226
And he knows once they're gone,
he's not going to get it back.
991
00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:30,695
But... I had him
thinking about it.
992
00:40:30,828 --> 00:40:32,530
I did, I had him
thinking about it.
993
00:40:32,664 --> 00:40:34,365
Alright, well I had to try, man.
994
00:40:34,499 --> 00:40:35,833
I had to- I had to try.
995
00:40:35,967 --> 00:40:37,335
- Absolutely, I appreciate
your interest in it.
996
00:40:37,468 --> 00:40:40,038
He zeroes in on the things that
are more rare and more valuable.
997
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:41,606
That's great.
- New-in-the-box.
998
00:40:41,739 --> 00:40:43,741
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Ahh!
999
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:46,411
- So I was honored that he
showed so much interest
1000
00:40:46,544 --> 00:40:47,812
in our sign.
1001
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:50,248
Two here, Jersey.
- Hi.
- Hey, hey!
1002
00:40:50,381 --> 00:40:52,684
- I just wanted to meet the guys
that were so nice to my mom.
1003
00:40:52,817 --> 00:40:54,786
Showed her such
great hospitality.
1004
00:40:54,919 --> 00:40:56,821
- That would be me.
- Not Jersey.
1005
00:40:56,954 --> 00:40:58,790
- I was nice to her mom!
- That would be me.
1006
00:40:58,923 --> 00:41:00,625
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi, nice to meet you.
1007
00:41:00,758 --> 00:41:02,593
- I'm Mike.
- Angela, nice to meet you.
1008
00:41:02,727 --> 00:41:06,664
- My dad would love
Mike and Jersey.
1009
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:08,199
- She's a pretty
tough negotiator.
1010
00:41:08,333 --> 00:41:09,600
- Yeah, she is tough.
1011
00:41:09,734 --> 00:41:11,602
- He could spend
hours with them.
1012
00:41:11,736 --> 00:41:13,004
- Thank you, you are so sweet.
1013
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:15,139
- She gets it from
my grandfather.
1014
00:41:15,273 --> 00:41:17,041
- And I think he's looking
down and he sees them.
1015
00:41:17,175 --> 00:41:18,409
(laughs)
1016
00:41:18,543 --> 00:41:20,078
- Thank you so much,
I really appreciate it,
1017
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:21,546
and thanks for the good deals.
1018
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:23,214
- You used to hear about
places like this.
1019
00:41:23,348 --> 00:41:25,984
So now, to actually be in one,
and to be able to pick it
1020
00:41:26,117 --> 00:41:28,019
and buy a few things,
is pretty epic.
1021
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:30,488
Alright, come to Nashville,
I'll buy you a beer.
1022
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:32,323
- Yeah, man.
- Sounds good.
1023
00:41:32,457 --> 00:41:34,225
- Amelia, I got you right there.
- Y'all be safe.
1024
00:41:34,359 --> 00:41:36,561
- On top of that, it was a Dodge
dealership.
1025
00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:40,998
On top of that, it was in one
of the most historic communities
1026
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:43,801
in the United States,
Selma, Alabama.
1027
00:41:43,935 --> 00:41:44,869
(honks horn)
1028
00:41:45,002 --> 00:41:47,572
- See you guys!
- See you later, guys!
1029
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:58,182
- How is it looking?
1030
00:41:58,316 --> 00:41:59,784
- We're ready to go.
1031
00:41:59,917 --> 00:42:01,586
(steam whistle sounds)
(cheers)
1032
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,589
- What do I not touch here?
Where am I safe?
1033
00:42:04,722 --> 00:42:07,392
- That's hot, don't touch that.
- Alright. This good right here?
1034
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:09,694
- You can steer it if you want.
- Can I sit on this?
1035
00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:11,929
- I can steer it? Okay.
Where do you want me to go?
1036
00:42:12,063 --> 00:42:13,364
Go that way.
1037
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,403
(steam whistle sounds)
- Holy (beep)
1038
00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:21,539
- You're doing fine,
you're perfect.
1039
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:23,107
- Taking a right?
- Yeah, keep turning.
1040
00:42:23,241 --> 00:42:24,976
That's enough...
1041
00:42:25,109 --> 00:42:28,112
- Okay, that's good, okay other
way, other way, other way...
1042
00:42:28,246 --> 00:42:30,348
- There you go.
- There you go, good job.
1043
00:42:30,481 --> 00:42:32,016
Right there, straight.
1044
00:42:33,785 --> 00:42:36,754
