1
00:00:02,169 --> 00:00:03,637
ROBBIE: Urgh.

2
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:05,806
MIKE: Jersey, I've picked
a lot of places. I've never-

3
00:00:05,939 --> 00:00:07,040
JERSEY JON: Picked a strip mall?
(Mike laughs)

4
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,642
ROBBIE: Bumper cars,
carousels, boat rides.

5
00:00:08,775 --> 00:00:11,111
there are entire
generations of Americans

6
00:00:11,245 --> 00:00:12,679
who grew up with these.

7
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:14,848
MIKE: This is a sedan delivery.
It's not a panel truck.

8
00:00:14,982 --> 00:00:16,884
This is an expensive engine.

9
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,619
ROBBIE: When was the last time
you were even in here?

10
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:20,420
BRENT: 15 years, ain't no
telling what's in this place.

11
00:00:20,554 --> 00:00:21,622
ROBBIE: Ha, ha, ha.

12
00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:24,091
JERSEY JON: It's a steam train,
man. Unbelievable.

13
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:25,959
MIKE: You did say you
collected train stuff.

14
00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:27,928
JERSEY JON: How will you
get this back, Mike?

15
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:30,130
MIKE: Dani D, what's up?

16
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:31,798
DANIELLE: Good morning
guys, what's up?

17
00:00:31,932 --> 00:00:36,470
MIKE: We are in Alabama
and it is 72 degrees!

18
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:38,238
DANIELLE:
Good ol' Bama roll tide, huh?

19
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:40,007
MIKE: Heck yeah,
God Bless America.

20
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:41,942
DANIELLE: I'm going to send
you to a man named John.

21
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:44,444
John has been
collecting for 40 years.

22
00:00:44,578 --> 00:00:47,414
And he recently
sold 20 buildings.

23
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:48,348
JERSEY JON: Wow!
MIKE: Dang!

24
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:49,816
So this guy's heavy
into property.

25
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:50,984
DANIELLE: Yeah, absolutely.

26
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:53,153
In fact, you're going to
meet him at a strip mall.

27
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:55,756
Where he actually owns
the strip mall

28
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:57,157
and it's full of his collection.

29
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:58,926
MIKE: The guy owns
the whole strip mall.

30
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:00,160
JERSEY JON: Oh good.

31
00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:01,762
So what kind of stuff
does he have?

32
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:04,298
DANIELLE: Everything.
MIKE: Okay. Let me ask you this.

33
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:08,402
Does he have furniture
or blacksmith tools?

34
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:10,570
DANIELLE: He's got furniture.
MIKE: There you go, Jersey.

35
00:01:10,704 --> 00:01:12,506
JERSEY JON: Yeah, what are
you talking about, man?

36
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:13,774
I'm into motorcycles.
MIKE: Oh whatever!

37
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,609
DANIELLE: Be prepared for
a big day of picking.

38
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:17,210
MIKE: Alright, we'll
talk to you soon.

39
00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:18,812
JERSEY JON: See you later.
DANIELLE: Behave.

40
00:01:18,946 --> 00:01:20,948
MIKE: Bye.
JERSEY JON: Bye.

41
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:23,216
MIKE: Dude, you know what
I love about Danielle?

42
00:01:24,151 --> 00:01:26,620
She's always consistently
in the same mood.

43
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:29,790
She's always like, you can just
tell with her voice,

44
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,892
she's just got that little,
little spring in her step.

45
00:01:32,025 --> 00:01:32,859
JERSEY JON: She's happy.

46
00:01:32,993 --> 00:01:34,061
MIKE: Yeah, you know
what I mean.

47
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:36,997
She's like a 1950s,
like, beach movie.

48
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:39,933
You know, just fun, just
fun to listen, to watch.

49
00:01:48,141 --> 00:01:49,676
MIKE: Jersey, I've picked
a lot of places, I've never--

50
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:51,578
JERSEY JON: Picked a strip mall?
(laughs)

51
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:52,813
MIKE: Picked a strip mall,
yeah man.

52
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:54,314
JERSEY JON: I don't think
I ever have either, man.

53
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:56,316
MIKE: Which one is it?
JERSEY JON: It's right here.

54
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:58,218
Sporting goods store. Look at
the sign, park right there.

55
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,953
MIKE: Where, right here?
JERSEY JON: Right here.

56
00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:01,321
MIKE: That's where I'm parking.

57
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:03,056
JERSEY JON: Well get
it done dude.
MIKE: Settle down, man.

58
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:06,293
Alright.
Let's check it out.

59
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:09,596
JERSEY JON: After you, sir.
MIKE: Whoa!

60
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:11,932
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
MIKE: Hello!

61
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:13,367
This guy's got some stuff.

62
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,469
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
JOHN: Hey Mike, John.

63
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:16,970
MIKE: This is Jersey Jon.
JERSEY JON: Hey, I'm Jon.

64
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:18,839
JOHN: Hey Jon.
JERSEY JON: Nice to
meet you, good name.

65
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,440
MIKE: Alright, I see you
got a Hex Tube here.

66
00:02:20,574 --> 00:02:22,876
JERSEY JON: Looks like you
got a lot of stuff that's
on that list.

67
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,812
MIKE: When you first walk into
this place, it's like the back
room of a Cabela's.

68
00:02:25,946 --> 00:02:28,415
JERSEY JON: He's got furniture,
taxidermy. He's got bicycles,

69
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:30,384
he's got all kinds of
weird stuff in there.

70
00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:32,452
This is like, going to
be a really good pick.

71
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:36,423
MIKE: So what's going on?
This looks like expensive real
estate to store your collection.

72
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,125
JOHN: It is.
That's why we're selling.

73
00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:39,693
MIKE: Okay.
JOHN: I'm glad to see you.

74
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,329
JOHN: I've always been a seller.
I buy with value in mind,

75
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:45,632
and I've learned how to value
everything from artifacts
to real estate.

76
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:48,201
MIKE: Dani said you own
the whole mall.
JOHN: We do.

77
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:50,504
I'm now wanting to clear out
this space, because I have

78
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:53,473
actually national tenants
that are looking at this space.

79
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:57,010
And I've got a lot of, what I
consider nice things in here.

80
00:02:57,144 --> 00:02:59,346
But they're nothing
I can take with me.

81
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:00,914
It's just more material things.

82
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,549
JERSEY JON:
Let's take a look around.

83
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:04,251
MIKE: So, so you're... wait,
look at this bike, man.

84
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:05,919
JERSEY JON: I know, I saw
the Hex Tube, it's beautiful.

85
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:07,721
MIKE: I know.
This is like '47, '48.

86
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,856
JOHN: That's an aluminum,
isn't it? The frame is aluminum.

87
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:12,225
MIKE: Yeah it's aluminum.
And then if you look at the lug
work on it,

88
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:13,727
that's cast aluminum.

89
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,630
In 1934,
Monarch Silver King

90
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,933
advertised that they had
an aluminum alloy bike

91
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:23,570
that was three times stronger
and way lighter than steel,

92
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:25,872
which meant a faster bicycle.

93
00:03:26,006 --> 00:03:28,241
Try picking it up, Jersey.
It's not like an aluminum
bike today.

94
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:29,643
JERSEY JON: No, it's heavy.
MIKE: Yeah.

95
00:03:29,776 --> 00:03:31,611
The gauge of the aluminum
and everything is different.

96
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:34,081
This is the same material
that airplanes

97
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,583
were being made out of,
trains were being made out of.

98
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:40,020
It was a beautiful time in
American design,

99
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,621
the 1930s and '40s.

100
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:43,690
That's a hard bike to find.
JERSEY JON: Yeah.

101
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:44,691
MIKE: I mean,
everything on this--

102
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:45,759
JERSEY JON: You don't ever
see 'em.

103
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:47,694
MIKE: ...chrome-wise,
needs to be redone.

104
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:50,564
These fenders, it came chromed,
the chain guard was chrome.

105
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:52,365
JERSEY JON: Got the rear light?
MIKE: That's upside down.

106
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:54,401
Somebody's pulled it apart
though, maybe.

107
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,870
Somebody's put this...
JERSEY JON: Got a 3-speed
rear hub, Mike.

108
00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:58,638
MIKE: Yeah. Sturmey-Archer.
JERSEY JON: It's got
Schwinn wheels.

109
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:00,974
MIKE: It looks like a barn find.
Do you remember
where you got it?

110
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,610
JOHN: It was a barn find.
I've not had that bike forever.

111
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:05,112
I probably had it
three or four years.

112
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,447
The guy that found it
brought it to me.
I didn't actually find it.

113
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,249
MIKE: Was it found locally?
JOHN: Yes.

114
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:12,152
MIKE: It's incredible to me that
a bike like this

115
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:15,322
was sitting in a barn
three years ago.

116
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,257
MIKE: Is this something
you'd consider selling?

117
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:19,126
JOHN: Oh, let me think
about it, Mike.

118
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,628
MIKE: I'll tell you what,
it's a rare bike.

119
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,563
JOHN: My interests
are pretty wide

120
00:04:23,697 --> 00:04:25,031
and over a long period of time.

121
00:04:25,165 --> 00:04:29,202
When I was about 18 years old,
I decided I really wanted

122
00:04:29,336 --> 00:04:32,205
a motorcycle and I really got
into that in a big way.

123
00:04:32,339 --> 00:04:35,142
I like books. I like to read,
I do hunting and I do fishing.

124
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:38,545
I've also liked cars for
a long time, still do.

125
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:40,213
JERSEY JON: Come on, I saw
this clock over here.

126
00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:41,414
I want to show you this.

127
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,984
The watch repairing clock,
which is interesting.

128
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:45,919
JOHN: There should be
a switch over there.

129
00:04:46,052 --> 00:04:47,320
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
Oh yeah, look at that.

130
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:48,722
JOHN: Okay. We got...
JERSEY JON: Wow.

131
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:50,157
JOHN: We got some neon going.

132
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,292
JERSEY JON: Yeah, so it's
got the outer ring in neon.

133
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,261
It's an advertising clock
for a watch maker.

134
00:04:54,394 --> 00:04:57,030
The can's nice.
Neon worked, clock works.

135
00:04:57,164 --> 00:04:59,065
It's a really nice piece
with a tin back.

136
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,834
What are you thinking
on something like this?

137
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:04,404
JOHN: Probably around $700.
JERSEY JON: Wow. Um...

138
00:05:04,538 --> 00:05:05,972
JOHN: You think more?

139
00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:09,376
JERSEY JON: I think it's worth
more than double what that is.

140
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:11,077
I'll give you 1,500 bucks
for the clock.

141
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:12,445
JOHN: I'm never opposed
to going up.

142
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,347
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
I mean, it's a nice piece.

143
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:17,551
Nice graphics on the clock, with
the blue numerals and the dial.

144
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:19,452
JOHN: Right. Yes.
JERSEY JON: You got that for...

145
00:05:19,586 --> 00:05:21,221
For cheap money then.

146
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:25,592
JOHN: Well, I picked it up and I
just liked the subject matter
with the watch repair.

147
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:30,063
And I've actually had some
people just want this so bad,

148
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:31,097
but they won't pay for it.

149
00:05:31,231 --> 00:05:32,666
JERSEY JON: Well,
I'm on it for 1,500 bucks.

150
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:34,868
JOHN: You got it.
JERSEY JON: Everything's in
great shape in this thing.

151
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,970
This is a really fantastic
piece. Alright.

152
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:38,672
Woo!

153
00:05:45,212 --> 00:05:47,514
ROBBIE: So Cindy,
how many rides do you got?

154
00:05:47,647 --> 00:05:50,217
I'm really looking forward
to looking at these things.

155
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:52,052
I mean, what kind of
condition are they in?

156
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:53,653
CINDY: They're old, antiques.

157
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:55,422
ROBBIE: I like antiques.

158
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:57,224
CINDY: Well, there's some in
real good shape

159
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:00,327
and they're not put together,
so they're all separated,

160
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:01,995
scattered out
and around about here.

161
00:06:02,128 --> 00:06:03,763
ROBBIE: I'm on my way to
meet a brother and sister

162
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:06,233
who are sitting on what Dani
described to me

163
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,268
as multiple shipping containers

164
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,937
full of old rides from their
dad's carnival business.

165
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:13,807
CINDY: Daddy just loved,
he wouldn't get rid of anything.

166
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:16,343
ROBBIE: Dad kept everything.
That's great news for me.

167
00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:17,410
I think I'm here.

168
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:18,845
CINDY: Soon as you see an
elephant.

169
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:20,447
ROBBIE: Okay, I see--
CINDY: Turn right there.

170
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,182
ROBBIE: See the elephant,
I got that.

171
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:24,117
CINDY: Alright, then you're
going to see a crawfish.

172
00:06:24,251 --> 00:06:25,218
ROBBIE: I see a mushroom.

173
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:27,320
CINDY: Things out in the woods,
alright good.

174
00:06:27,454 --> 00:06:29,089
ROBBIE: Oh I see that
crawfish now.

175
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,324
CINDY: Alright, as soon as you
turn down there, just keep
following that little road

176
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:32,892
right down through that kind
of winds back through there.

177
00:06:33,026 --> 00:06:36,062
And you'll come to
an opening right there.

178
00:06:36,196 --> 00:06:39,399
ROBBIE: Alright. I see
something. I see you,
is that you right there?

179
00:06:39,532 --> 00:06:41,902
CINDY: Ah, that's me.
ROBBIE: Alright. Right here.

180
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:44,537
Alright. Nice and easy.
CINDY: Alright, you're here.

181
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:46,506
ROBBIE: Alright, thank you.

182
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,380
Cindy!
CINDY: Hey.

183
00:06:53,513 --> 00:06:55,015
ROBBIE: How're you doing, Rob
Wolfe. Good to see you.

184
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,149
CINDY: Cindy Hood,
good to see you.

185
00:06:56,283 --> 00:06:58,018
BRENT: How're you doing,
Brent Williams.

186
00:06:58,151 --> 00:07:00,587
ROBBIE: Nice to see you.
This is kind of some of
the stuff we're looking for.

187
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,422
CINDY: Alright. Y'all looking
for some stuff, huh.

188
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:03,790
ROBBIE: Yeah. Always.

189
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:05,926
BRENT: A whole bunch of stuff
all the way down these sheds,

190
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:07,627
all these trailers
and stuff here and stuff.

191
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:09,229
Got a good bit of stuff in here.

192
00:07:09,362 --> 00:07:10,630
CINDY: C'mon, let me show you,

193
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:11,831
'cause there's everything
you can think of.

194
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:13,166
When we grew up here,

195
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:15,735
all this was just storage
sheds for asphalt paving.

196
00:07:15,869 --> 00:07:17,837
Everything was
stored up in here.

197
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:20,540
BRENT: Dad growed up in
the country a little bit.

198
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:22,642
He kind of started off
in the turpentine business.

199
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,712
Turpentine that would come
out of pine trees and stuff.

200
00:07:25,845 --> 00:07:27,714
Did that in his
younger childhood.

201
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:30,183
There was a gentleman over in
Ocean Springs, Mississippi,

202
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:31,518
did blacktop business.

203
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:34,020
So he went to work with him
a couple of days a week.

204
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:35,822
And finally, he decided

205
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:38,792
he wanted to get in his
own blacktop business.

206
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:42,696
CINDY: Then he started
getting into the amusement
park businesses.

207
00:07:42,829 --> 00:07:44,798
He paved a go-kart track.

208
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:45,966
ROBBIE: Okay.

209
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,867
CINDY: And that's how it
started our business.

210
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,470
That fella could not
pay for the asphalt.

211
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:54,574
ROBBIE: So your dad ends
up with a go-kart track?

212
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,009
CINDY: Exactly.

213
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,678
BRENT: So next thing we knew,
we were in the go-kart business.

214
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,780
CINDY: All this is remnants
from every other business.

215
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:04,584
I mean, we've had go-karts
and water slides,

216
00:08:04,718 --> 00:08:06,453
amusement parks.

217
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:08,254
BRENT: He started going
to different states,

218
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:12,659
Chicago and other places and
bidding on these carnival rides.

219
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,227
So next thing we knew,

220
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:16,062
we were in a stationary
carnival business.

221
00:08:16,196 --> 00:08:18,231
CINDY: We had a motel, and
the reason he got the motel

222
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:20,300
is because they called
for an estimate there.

223
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:22,669
So we went and paved the motel
and ended up buying the motel.

224
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,904
ROBBIE: It sounds to me like
their dad didn't just build

225
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:27,974
an asphalt plant,
he built an empire.

226
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:30,543
CINDY: Car washes and just
everything you can think of.

227
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,278
ROBBIE:
His mind never stopped.

228
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:35,515
How old were you when your dad
got into that carnival business?

229
00:08:35,648 --> 00:08:37,250
BRENT: 20 years old.
ROBBIE: 20 years old.

230
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:38,852
BRENT: I was 20 years
old when I into it.

231
00:08:38,985 --> 00:08:41,821
ROBBIE: Did you think
to yourself, man,
my dad has lost his mind.

232
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:43,089
What are we talking about?

233
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:44,524
CINDY: We never knew
what to expect.

234
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:47,761
We were raised completely
different from our cousins.

235
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:50,463
Daddy put us, he worked us.

236
00:08:50,597 --> 00:08:52,832
CINDY: And we had fun though,
we did have fun.

237
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:55,268
Our kids grew up playing
up underneath this

238
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:57,370
after everything had
been taken down, but...

239
00:08:57,504 --> 00:08:58,772
ROBBIE: What are these?

240
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:00,607
BRENT: Waterslide tubes.

241
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,876
He had two places
that had the water parks.

242
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:05,578
He had...
CINDY: Slipper Sam's
and Wonderland.

243
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:07,013
BRENT: He had Slippery
Sam's and Wonderland.

244
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:08,014
ROBBIE: Where's Slippery Sam at?

245
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:10,116
BRENT: It was down
on the coast in the...

246
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,518
CINDY: It's about
10 minutes south.

247
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:14,120
BRENT: But Katrina pretty much
wiped a lot of that stuff out.

248
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:17,857
CINDY: Katrina took care of a
lot of businesses on the beach.

249
00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:20,727
You know, everybody,
when you're older,

250
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,529
you want to go back in time

251
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:24,464
and go visit those places,

252
00:09:24,597 --> 00:09:27,167
and you want to take your kids
to see them and they're gone.

253
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,835
BRENT: A lot of this stuff just
got torn down

254
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:30,136
and brought out here and put up.

255
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:31,805
ROBBIE: Cindy and Brent have
found themselves

256
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:34,207
with shipping containers full
of their own memories.

257
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:35,842
This is a bumper car in here?

258
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,677
BRENT: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Oh wow.

259
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:39,145
ROBBIE: But over the years,
they've realized

260
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,281
they're custodians of
other people's memories too.

261
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:42,515
Alright.

262
00:09:42,649 --> 00:09:45,084
CINDY: I had a couple that
wanted one particular horse,

263
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:47,454
because his wife,
when she was a little girl,

264
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,556
on the amusement ride
at Magic Gulf,

265
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,024
was sitting on that horse.

266
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:53,793
And he wanted that horse,
and he was able to have that.

267
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:55,762
BRENT: There's some of the
rides in these trailers here,

268
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:58,198
this is one of
the old car rides.

269
00:09:58,331 --> 00:10:01,034
That's probably in
the 1950s and stuff.

270
00:10:01,167 --> 00:10:02,769
(Robbie laughs)

271
00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:08,174
MIKE: You got a great
collection, man.

272
00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:10,777
This is killer,
when's the last time this...
oh look at that cord.

273
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:14,013
JOHN: Yeah, that gives
you an idea how old it is.

274
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:15,715
MIKE: Yeah, man.

275
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:18,618
JOHN: The Mopar clock, I've had
a number of car people

276
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:20,186
want to buy that clock.

277
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,222
MIKE: Mopar guys are...
JOHN: Oh yeah.

278
00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:24,157
MIKE: That's true religion to
them, you know what I mean?

279
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:26,059
Mopar guys are rabid.

280
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:29,295
They're crazy for
anything Mopar.

281
00:10:29,429 --> 00:10:30,763
Rewiring, it's not
that big a deal.

282
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:32,532
But this transformer's
pretty bad.

283
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,203
I mean, the neon's in there and
it doesn't look like it's broke.

284
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:38,471
I mean, anywhere...

285
00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:41,441
In this condition, not knowing
if the neon works either,

286
00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:42,742
$1,000.

287
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:44,777
JOHN: I know that clock
was valuable

288
00:10:44,911 --> 00:10:46,179
and I knew it when I found it.

289
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:47,514
How about 1,100?

290
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:50,283
MIKE: 1,050.

291
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,552
JOHN: You got a deal.
MIKE: Alright, man.

292
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:54,287
JOHN: Thank you, sir.
MIKE: Thank you,
I appreciate ya.

293
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:55,855
Where'd you find that at?

294
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,924
JOHN: That was in a service
station that I tore down

295
00:10:58,057 --> 00:11:00,193
to sell the property
to a Zaxby's.

296
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:02,462
MIKE: Is most of your
property commercial?

297
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:03,830
JOHN: Oh all of it is, yes.

298
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:05,598
I like stuff that's on
the national register.

299
00:11:05,732 --> 00:11:07,000
MIKE: No kidding.
JOHN: Yes.

300
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,102
MIKE: Is there stuff
locally like that?

301
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,504
JOHN: Oh yeah, there are a lot
of local properties and there's
a historic district here.

302
00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:13,806
JERSEY JON: Oh wow.
MIKE: So you're... you're very
familiar

303
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:15,441
with historic preservation then.

304
00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:16,543
JOHN: Oh very much.

305
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,778
At one point, I did,
along with my family,

306
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:21,347
bought and owned Union Station
in downtown Montgomery.

307
00:11:21,481 --> 00:11:22,382
MIKE: Really.

308
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:23,816
JOHN: Which is as
significant as you get.

309
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:25,418
JERSEY JON: We were
just over there.
MIKE: Absolutely, yeah.

310
00:11:25,552 --> 00:11:26,886
JOHN: Railroad architecture,

311
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:28,821
I really appreciate
the architecture.

312
00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:31,991
When you go to a small town,
every town had a railroad depot.

313
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:34,527
It's usually far
superior to the houses

314
00:11:34,661 --> 00:11:37,897
or the other utilitarian
brick buildings all around it.

315
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:39,499
MIKE: When you bought it,
did you understand

316
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:40,733
the historic significance of it?

317
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:42,535
JOHN: Oh absolutely.

318
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:45,104
JERSEY JON: Union Station
is an important historic
building in Montgomery, Alabama.

319
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:46,439
It's not just a building,

320
00:11:46,573 --> 00:11:49,709
it's a celebration of
early American transportation.

321
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:51,878
When they built the really
great stations,

322
00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:53,780
they showcased
new technologies.

323
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:57,417
Electric lamps,
hydraulic systems, elevators.

324
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:00,053
This all started in the
railroad stations in America.

325
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:01,821
MIKE: So we're all
kindred spirits here.

326
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:03,122
JOHN: Yeah that's great.

327
00:12:03,256 --> 00:12:04,824
MIKE: Because I like old
buildings, you obviously
like them.

328
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:07,627
We're all just caretakers
of these properties,

329
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,830
and it is extremely important
that we understand

330
00:12:10,964 --> 00:12:12,599
the history of these buildings

331
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,034
and what they mean
to the community.

332
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:17,470
JOHN: I had a sporting goods
store at this location.

333
00:12:17,604 --> 00:12:22,141
I moved it once, and I sold the
property where I moved it to.

334
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:23,743
MIKE: You got old counters?
JOHN: I do.

335
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:25,278
MIKE: Which way are we going?
Take us to those.

336
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:26,813
JOHN: Well, I've got an
older counter sitting over here

337
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:29,282
that's 27 feet long.

338
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:30,883
MIKE: No way!
JOHN: And it's one piece.

339
00:12:31,017 --> 00:12:33,586
MIKE: Let me see the 27 foot.
JOHN: Starts over here.

340
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,254
JERSEY JON: Holy crap!
JOHN: All the way...

341
00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:36,623
MIKE: Jersey,
look at this thing!

342
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,524
JERSEY JON: Whoa,
that's a counter?
MIKE: Oh my gosh!

343
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:40,193
JERSEY JON: Oh man!

344
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:42,695
The commercial store counter
was really cool, but it's huge.

345
00:12:42,829 --> 00:12:44,030
It takes up half a building.

346
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:45,665
MIKE: That's awesome.
JERSEY JON: Great look.

347
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,369
BRENT: There's some of the
rides in these trailers here.

348
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,437
This is one of
the old car rides.

349
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:53,506
ROBBIE: Oh wow.
Yeah, I've had a few of these.

350
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,875
These things weigh a ton.

351
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:57,577
The last time I saw
one of these rides,

352
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,379
I had to bail my brother out.

353
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:01,314
MIKE: I'm calling you
because I need your help

354
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:02,715
and you're my brother.

355
00:13:02,849 --> 00:13:04,951
ROBBIE: He bought one and had
no way of getting it home.

356
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:06,719
MIKE: Woo!

357
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:09,689
ROBBIE: It was smaller than this
one, but I got it put together.

358
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:11,224
BRENT: This was one of
the older rides here.

359
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:12,759
Probably in the 1950s.

360
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:14,894
CINDY: Alright, if you're gonna
start pulling all that stuff

361
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:17,864
out, I got work to do, so,
y'all call me when you're ready.

362
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:19,032
ROBBIE: Alright.

363
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:21,534
I've bought some of these
cars in the past 15 years.

364
00:13:21,668 --> 00:13:23,236
I mean, they are heavy.

365
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:25,605
They were made,
the best of the best.

366
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:28,041
What kind of money
would you want for,

367
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:30,910
I think there's
10 here, right here.

368
00:13:31,044 --> 00:13:33,780
Yeah, there's 10,
10 complete cars.

369
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:37,050
BRENT: Probably 3,000. Because
it's still a complete ride.

370
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:39,085
It's what makes it so valuable.

371
00:13:39,218 --> 00:13:41,020
ROBBIE: I'm going to think
on this for a minute.

372
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,155
BRENT: Okay.

373
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:43,623
ROBBIE: So let me look
at these boats back here.

374
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:45,792
BRENT: When Robbie started
climbing in all these trailers

375
00:13:45,925 --> 00:13:47,760
that have all these rides in
there and some stuff,

376
00:13:47,894 --> 00:13:49,629
it's been about 10, 15 years

377
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:51,531
since I've climbed up
in some of these rides.

378
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,700
ROBBIE: Wow.

379
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:56,169
BRENT: I probably was anxious as
Robbie to see what's in there.

380
00:13:57,537 --> 00:13:59,972
ROBBIE: The big boats,
people can use those.

381
00:14:00,106 --> 00:14:02,108
They put them on a wall,
they put them upside down,

382
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:03,276
they add lighting to them.

383
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,014
That's what I'm thinking
of to use on these.

384
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:09,749
What do you think you
got to have on those?

385
00:14:13,553 --> 00:14:16,489
BRENT: Uh we're probably doing
$500 apiece on these.

386
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:18,725
ROBBIE: Honestly, the big thing
with these things to me,

387
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,526
is they're going to have
to be all cleaned up.

388
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:23,029
Even if we sold these off
to a decorator,

389
00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:24,530
they couldn't use
them like this.

390
00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:25,832
I'll tell you what I want to do,

391
00:14:25,965 --> 00:14:27,533
I'd like to get one
of these out of here.

392
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:30,670
Most kids nowadays,
they don't see these.

393
00:14:30,803 --> 00:14:33,406
There's not a floating moat
at a carnival anymore.

394
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:37,944
There's rules, regulations.
Lawsuits, people, come on!

395
00:14:38,077 --> 00:14:39,378
Alright.

396
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:42,348
I remember as a kid,
sitting in that aluminum boat

397
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:44,217
after my mom
put me down there.

398
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:45,785
(bell ringing)

399
00:14:45,918 --> 00:14:47,487
There are hundreds of people

400
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,789
that want to
reconnect with that.

401
00:14:49,922 --> 00:14:51,557
That's why they use them
as decorator pieces.

402
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:54,360
MIKE: Okay, so this is the
matching shorter counter.

403
00:14:54,494 --> 00:14:56,129
JOHN: That's right.
MIKE: The 10-footer.

404
00:14:56,262 --> 00:14:58,131
This one's manageable.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, it's nice.

405
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:01,501
MIKE: The counter was the
heart of the general store.

406
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:03,035
This is where
the people gathered,

407
00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:05,838
this is where
the transaction took place.

408
00:15:05,972 --> 00:15:07,707
It's missing this piece
down here, whatever, but that...

409
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,575
JERSEY JON: The trim moulding.
MIKE: You could fix that.

410
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:11,077
Probably had a vise right there.

411
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:12,879
JERSEY JON: No drawers.
MIKE: Here, right here's one.

412
00:15:13,012 --> 00:15:14,514
JERSEY JON: Oh that's cool.
It's got a drawer.

413
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,048
I don't think the other
one got drawers.

414
00:15:16,182 --> 00:15:17,150
MIKE: Yeah, there's
a paper roll.

415
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:18,851
JERSEY JON: There's an
old paper roll there.

416
00:15:18,985 --> 00:15:19,819
MIKE: Yeah.

417
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:21,754
Would you sell this one?
JOHN: I would.

418
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:23,689
MIKE: What are you thinking
on something like that?

419
00:15:24,323 --> 00:15:25,892
JOHN: Probably 1,500 bucks.

420
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:27,927
MIKE: What do you want
for that squirrel?

421
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,629
JOHN: The squirrel,
you buy a counter,

422
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,130
the squirrel will be thrown in.

423
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:32,365
(Mike chuckles)

424
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:34,367
MIKE: How about $1,000?

425
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,868
JOHN: You got it in your pocket?
MIKE: Yeah.

426
00:15:36,002 --> 00:15:37,270
JERSEY JON: Oh yeah.
(laughing)

427
00:15:37,403 --> 00:15:38,571
JOHN: Let's do it.
MIKE: Alright.

428
00:15:38,704 --> 00:15:40,807
So do I get the squirrel?
JOHN: You get the squirrel, too.

429
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,442
MIKE: Alright, Jersey,
look at that.
JERSEY JON: Free squirrel.

430
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:43,976
MIKE: That's for Charlie Wolfe's
room right there.

431
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,852
MIKE: John, who built this
gvehicle, who restored.
this vehicle?

432
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:54,954
Because it's got an overhead
valve conversion on it.

433
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:58,157
JOHN: This car was on
the Hee Haw television show.

434
00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:59,592
MIKE: Really?
JOHN: Yes.

435
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:02,295
And a collector by the
name of Johnny Portamon,

436
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:03,696
he owned a carnival.

437
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:06,265
And he had a collection,
big collection,

438
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,201
he had a Corvette
for every year.

439
00:16:08,334 --> 00:16:10,470
MIKE: Oh wow.
JOHN: But he bought
this car, he redid it.

440
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,271
MIKE: So he's the one who
restored it, he's the one

441
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:13,639
who did the engine
work and everything.

442
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:15,274
JOHN: Yeah, he would have done
everything, I've done nothing.

443
00:16:15,408 --> 00:16:17,043
But I bought it at his auction
after he passed away.

444
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:19,612
MIKE: How long ago was that?
JOHN: Oh 15 years ago.

445
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:21,480
MIKE: Okay.
JOHN: But the car does run.

446
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,783
I had it lettered with my
grand-grandfather's name on it.

447
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:26,152
He was a merchant, and that's
why I put his name

448
00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:27,420
and phone number on it.

449
00:16:27,553 --> 00:16:29,322
MIKE: I saw that, yeah.
JOHN: But it's a neat car.

450
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:31,557
MIKE: Yeah.
This is a sedan delivery.

451
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:32,892
It's not a panel truck.

452
00:16:33,025 --> 00:16:35,528
Which a sedan delivery
is actually a better vehicle,

453
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:37,663
it's a shorter vehicle,
it's more manageable.

454
00:16:37,797 --> 00:16:39,432
And it's a rarer vehicle.

455
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:42,235
It's got one door in
the back instead of two.

456
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:44,570
The engine, you know,

457
00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:47,540
has its Miller overhead
valve conversion on it.

458
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:49,709
A lot of people consider
Henry Miller

459
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:53,379
the greatest creative force
in American auto-racing.

460
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:55,414
The guy built a number of cars

461
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:59,652
that won the Indianapolis 500
in the roaring '20s.

462
00:16:59,785 --> 00:17:03,322
He retired in 1929,
but he couldn't stay away.

463
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:07,793
He came back in 1930 to
a completely different economy.

464
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:10,763
He got into partnerships making
after-market speed equipment

465
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:14,500
like this overhead valve
conversion kit for the Model A.

466
00:17:14,634 --> 00:17:16,068
This is a rare conversion.

467
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:20,339
And this is an expensive engine
if it ran really well.

468
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,408
JOHN: The only thing I know
with the motor,

469
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:24,744
it has a head gasket
that needs to be replaced.

470
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,712
And I was just using
it for display,

471
00:17:26,846 --> 00:17:27,914
so I didn't even worry about it.

472
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:29,115
But I've heard it
crank and run.

473
00:17:29,248 --> 00:17:31,550
MIKE: As soon as he said it
had a head gasket leak...

474
00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:33,219
Let me see this side
of the engine.

475
00:17:33,352 --> 00:17:35,788
Your mind automatically goes
to expecting the worst.

476
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:38,090
It could be a problem,
a big problem.

477
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:40,493
It says Miller
high-speed head.

478
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:42,361
Worst case scenario,

479
00:17:42,495 --> 00:17:45,598
it could possibly have
a crack in the head.

480
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:48,868
And in order to repair this
engine or rebuild this engine,

481
00:17:49,001 --> 00:17:50,836
it's not cheap to do.

482
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:53,039
That is a little bit
concerning to me.

483
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:56,075
But you know,
it's such a cool vehicle

484
00:17:56,208 --> 00:17:58,110
with some really rare parts.

485
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:00,012
You know, I don't want
to let that sway me.

486
00:18:07,386 --> 00:18:09,288
ROBBIE: Alright, I'm going
to flip around there.

487
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:11,090
BRENT: Pulling some of the stuff
out of the trailers and stuff,

488
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:14,226
it just brings back memories and
all the kids that were happy,

489
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,729
ringing the bells on the boats

490
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:19,966
or the car rides and stuff,
just parents and stuff

491
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:21,434
sitting their babies in there.

492
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:26,138
It was just a real
good time to grow up.

493
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,341
That probably weighs
150 pounds, maybe.

494
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:30,309
ROBBIE:
Oh yeah, easily, easily.

495
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,378
BRENT: The rides seem
like they are heavier

496
00:18:32,511 --> 00:18:35,681
than when I was around
20 or 30 years younger.

497
00:18:35,815 --> 00:18:37,383
CINDY:
(laughs)

498
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:38,417
It's okay.

499
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:40,019
ROBBIE: These cars, I think,

500
00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:42,221
you know, you were
saying 70 years old.

501
00:18:42,355 --> 00:18:44,457
I mean, they look
like a Nash bathtub.

502
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:47,960
It's modeled after like
a late '40s car, aerodynamic.

503
00:18:48,094 --> 00:18:50,529
Could have been a Nash,
maybe a Chevy Fleetside,

504
00:18:50,663 --> 00:18:52,531
something like that.
But they're so cool.

505
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:54,333
You're at 3,000 on this.

506
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,168
All of them.
BRENT: Correct.

507
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:58,537
ROBBIE: We can probably get
$500 apiece out of these cars.

508
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:00,940
But there's a lot of work.
They need to be cleaned.

509
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:02,942
ROBBIE: How about, you're at
3,000, I'm at...

510
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:04,844
I want to be at 2,500 on this.

511
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:06,679
2,500, if we go any higher,

512
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:07,947
we're not going to
make any money.

513
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,383
And you wanted 500
apiece on these.

514
00:19:10,516 --> 00:19:12,418
BRENT: Yeah.
ROBBIE: I want to be at 1,200.

515
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:13,953
On all 6.

516
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:16,389
At 200 bucks each,
I'm doing okay.

517
00:19:16,522 --> 00:19:19,291
BRENT: I'll take 25
for the complete ride,

518
00:19:19,425 --> 00:19:22,995
but I'll take $1,800
for the boats.

519
00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:25,898
That's $300 apiece
on the 6 boats.

520
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:29,502
ROBBIE: Alright. I'm going
to take these for 2,500.

521
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:31,537
BRENT: Okay, okay. Good deal.

522
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:33,806
ROBBIE: Alright.
1,500 bucks on the boats.

523
00:19:33,939 --> 00:19:35,408
You're at 18.

524
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:37,043
BRENT: $1,500 for the boats.
ROBBIE: Alright. Deal.

525
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,377
BRENT: 1,500.

526
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:41,847
MIKE: Ugh, alright here we go,
here we go, here we go.

527
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:43,616
Alright right there.

528
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:45,851
Alright, let's see the
back end of this thing.

529
00:19:46,719 --> 00:19:49,622
This sedan delivery has
a really interesting history.

530
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:51,690
It's so cool. I mean,
the back end of this thing,

531
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,325
this looks like
a baby buggy, man.

532
00:19:53,459 --> 00:19:57,663
It was owned by a circus guy,
and it was on the show Hee Haw.

533
00:19:57,797 --> 00:20:00,866
So what kind of signage was
on it before you painted this?

534
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,335
JOHN: None.
It was just plain red.

535
00:20:03,469 --> 00:20:05,271
MIKE: And it hasn't
ran in 15 years?

536
00:20:05,404 --> 00:20:06,605
JOHN:
That's probably about right.

537
00:20:06,739 --> 00:20:09,208
MIKE: Um... (clears throat)

538
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:11,877
It's got everything going for
it as far as, you know,

539
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:13,746
it being a sedan delivery,

540
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,615
you know, having this
engine conversion,

541
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:18,951
but that leak concerns me.

542
00:20:19,085 --> 00:20:21,720
JOHN: I'm thinking you give me a
number where you take the risk,

543
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,556
I can't guarantee
the head gasket.

544
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:25,391
(Mike sighs)

545
00:20:25,524 --> 00:20:27,593
JOHN: I'm okay with an offer,
you won't hurt my feelings.

546
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:29,128
If I can't take it,
I'll just tell you no.

547
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:31,530
MIKE: Alright, okay.
15,000 bucks.

548
00:20:32,765 --> 00:20:34,200
Well that was quick.
JOHN: I'll take it.

549
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:36,669
I know what you're thinking, I
know what you're thinking, Mike.

550
00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:38,170
MIKE: I'm thinking,
I should have went lower?

551
00:20:38,304 --> 00:20:41,107
No, I'm kidding you.
No, I'm comfortable with that.

552
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,008
JOHN: I'd already made up my
mind I was going to sell it,

553
00:20:43,142 --> 00:20:45,511
and he basically offered
exactly what I was thinking.

554
00:20:45,644 --> 00:20:48,180
MIKE: Jersey, I bought a sedan
delivery! What are you doing?

555
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:49,748
(laughing)

556
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:50,950
Okay.

557
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,619
You said you were going
to think about the bicycle.

558
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:55,488
I'm a bicycle guy.

559
00:20:55,621 --> 00:20:57,656
The bike is hard to find.

560
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:59,391
As far as from
a collector's standpoint,

561
00:20:59,525 --> 00:21:00,793
it's more of a rider.

562
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:03,362
You know, the original fenders
would have been stainless steel.

563
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:05,798
The original fender had this
really awesome light.

564
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:09,101
This bike had a really big
pedestal light on it.

565
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:10,569
So the fenders are incorrect,

566
00:21:10,703 --> 00:21:12,338
and the wheel are
incorrect as well.

567
00:21:12,471 --> 00:21:15,074
Somebody upgraded it, obviously,
you know, to a three speed.

568
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,643
It also had the rear rack,
you know, that's gone.

569
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:19,678
So I'd be interested in the bike

570
00:21:19,812 --> 00:21:24,016
with everything going on
with it, for like 550.

571
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:27,553
JOHN: I, I think y'all have
been fair with me so far

572
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:29,155
on trying to value things.

573
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,256
So yes, I'll do that.

574
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:31,824
MIKE: Okay.
JERSEY JON: Alright, awesome.

575
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:32,958
MIKE: Alright, thank you.
JOHN: Yes.

576
00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:34,326
Hey Mike, I've got
some other stuff.

577
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:37,530
I've got a railroad location
that's actually got a 1913

578
00:21:37,663 --> 00:21:40,733
locomotive and some pretty
rare railroad items,
if you'd like to take...

579
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,802
JERSEY JON:
I'd like to see that.
MIKE: Heck yeah.

580
00:21:43,936 --> 00:21:46,472
MIKE: What do you think of that
Model A sedan delivery?

581
00:21:46,605 --> 00:21:48,507
JERSEY JON: I didn't know it
had the overhead valve
conversion in it.

582
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:50,409
MIKE: I had no idea either.

583
00:21:50,543 --> 00:21:52,945
I started looking it over,
I was like, God the interior
of this thing's pretty decent.

584
00:21:53,078 --> 00:21:54,513
It was solid.
JERSEY JON: Solid.

585
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,016
MIKE: I popped the hood on
the thing and I'm like, no way!

586
00:21:57,149 --> 00:22:00,519
It's not a panel truck,
it's a sedan delivery.

587
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,888
And that's the kicker too, man.

588
00:22:03,022 --> 00:22:04,890
No way!
Look at that train, Jersey!

589
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,726
JERSEY JON: Holy mackerel!
It's a steam train, man!

590
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,595
Unbelievable!

591
00:22:09,728 --> 00:22:12,031
MIKE: That's crazy, dude.
JERSEY JON: Yeah. I'm gonna
go climb on that thing.

592
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:13,699
MIKE: Dang!
JERSEY JON: Let me outta here.

593
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:16,135
It's one thing to see a train.
But to see a steam train?

594
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:17,970
Like in the wild?
MIKE: Wow!

595
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:19,505
JERSEY JON: That's what
we're looking at right here.

596
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:21,740
MIKE: Where did you
get this at, man?

597
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:23,108
JOHN: Montgomery, Alabama.

598
00:22:23,242 --> 00:22:26,679
That's a 1913 Bowen
dummy locomotive.

599
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:28,147
It was a dummy locomotive.

600
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,216
It was in the city
of Columbus, Georgia.

601
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:32,184
And it was a transition time

602
00:22:32,318 --> 00:22:35,354
between steam-powered
locomotives,

603
00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:37,256
and horse-drawn wagons.

604
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:39,425
And in order to avoid
scaring the horses,

605
00:22:39,558 --> 00:22:43,529
Bowen Locomotive built
a complete wooden façade

606
00:22:43,662 --> 00:22:44,997
around the locomotive

607
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:48,300
to make it look like
a horse-drawn streetcar,

608
00:22:48,434 --> 00:22:50,202
so that it would not
spook the horses.

609
00:22:50,336 --> 00:22:52,204
There's only three
of these in the world.

610
00:22:52,338 --> 00:22:54,473
JERSEY JON: This is
a rare locomotive, right?

611
00:22:54,607 --> 00:22:56,208
JOHN: It's real rare,
according to John White

612
00:22:56,342 --> 00:22:58,143
at the Smithsonian,
it's very rare.

613
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:00,946
MIKE: My respect for John has
just gone through the roof.

614
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,550
I mean, the amount of money,
time, and effort it would take

615
00:23:04,717 --> 00:23:06,819
to move something like this,

616
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:10,556
and to preserve it for all
of these years is incredible.

617
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:13,025
How the hell do you even move
something like this, man?

618
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:15,461
JOHN: Two cranes, big trucks.
JERSEY JON: Yeah.

619
00:23:15,594 --> 00:23:17,129
JOHN: This one car...
JERSEY JON: Yep.

620
00:23:17,263 --> 00:23:19,131
JOHN: ...loaded out on a truck
was over 100-feet long.

621
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:22,334
My goal is to put that
locomotive into a museum,

622
00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:24,436
such as in Baltimore.

623
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,238
MIKE: You did say you
collected train stuff.

624
00:23:26,372 --> 00:23:27,773
JOHN: (laughs)

625
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:30,776
I don't need to be the ultimate
owner, and I certainly don't

626
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:32,945
want to be the guy that dies
and it goes to the scrap yard.

627
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:35,314
JERSEY JON: God bless you, man.
This thing is awesome.

628
00:23:41,987 --> 00:23:43,188
ROBBIE: Alright,
so we got four grand here.

629
00:23:43,322 --> 00:23:45,124
All the cars, the six boats.

630
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:46,458
BRENT: Correct.

631
00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:49,061
We got some more stuff in this
trailer here if you want to

632
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:51,196
see if we can rifle in
there to get to that one.

633
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:54,333
It was almost barricaded with
branches and limbs and stuff.

634
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,602
Watch the nails.
ROBBIE: Alright.

635
00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:03,242
BRENT: Robbie just went to get
nosy around in there,

636
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,678
but it just got me more excited.

637
00:24:05,811 --> 00:24:07,546
ROBBIE: When was the last time
you were even in here, Brent?

638
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,248
BRENT: I haven't been
in here in 15 years.

639
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:10,516
ROBBIE: 15 years.

640
00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:12,851
BRENT: 15 years, ain't no
telling what's in this trailer.

641
00:24:12,985 --> 00:24:14,620
ROBBIE: Well damn!

642
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:16,455
The motorcycles are in here!

643
00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:18,457
The motorcycle
rides are in here.

644
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,626
BRENT: Yep.

645
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,861
ROBBIE: It looks like these are
the seats here, I don't know

646
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:25,698
if I can get them out or not,
but there's five of them.

647
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:27,599
They all pretty much
look like this.

648
00:24:27,733 --> 00:24:29,735
BRENT: Yeah.
That's fibreglass and...

649
00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:33,172
ROBBIE: Yeah, it's fibreglass.
This is just aluminum.

650
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:36,308
It could look like a Harley
back then, anything, it's '60s.

651
00:24:36,442 --> 00:24:37,843
BRENT: Because I just seen this

652
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:39,778
and I didn't know
it was in here,

653
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:41,246
I'd like to study on
this a little bit.

654
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,549
ROBBIE: Okay, alright.
Can we pull one of them out?

655
00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:44,917
BRENT: We'll pull one out.

656
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:46,318
I discussed with Robbie about,

657
00:24:46,452 --> 00:24:48,821
talking to Cindy about
the motorcycle ride.

658
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:50,889
ROBBIE: Get this tree
out of my face here.

659
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:52,524
BRENT: See if we were
interested in selling it all.

660
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:53,959
ROBBIE: You got 'er?
BRENT: Yep.

661
00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:55,327
ROBBIE: There you go.
She's down.

662
00:24:55,461 --> 00:24:57,930
There's two great things about
these motorcycle carnival rides.

663
00:24:58,063 --> 00:24:59,698
First, they're
like carousel horses.

664
00:24:59,832 --> 00:25:01,967
They can be displayed
easily inside a home,

665
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:03,936
because they don't
need a lot of space.

666
00:25:04,069 --> 00:25:04,937
Set her right down there.

667
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,472
BRENT: This one's
missing the wheel, so.

668
00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,073
ROBBIE: There's two of them
that don't have wheels on them.

669
00:25:08,207 --> 00:25:09,875
Second, they're less
common than horses.

670
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:11,443
I got the seat too, here.

671
00:25:11,577 --> 00:25:14,279
So they're desirable to people
who love motorcycles.

672
00:25:14,413 --> 00:25:16,181
BRENT: I think you got
the rear post to those.

673
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:17,950
ROBBIE: Yeah.

674
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:20,686
Man, I actually like
it more out here now.

675
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,054
You can see it.

676
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:23,188
Look at that.

677
00:25:23,322 --> 00:25:25,858
This was literally,
hey get on this thing, kid,

678
00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:28,494
I got to put the safety
belt on, there you go.

679
00:25:28,627 --> 00:25:30,863
They just tied you on
there like a dog.

680
00:25:30,996 --> 00:25:32,765
And hope you didn't fall off.

681
00:25:32,898 --> 00:25:35,067
BRENT: They didn't have a lot
of safety back 30 years ago,

682
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,535
as much as there is now.

683
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:38,504
ROBBIE: I know one guy that's
gonna be excited about these,

684
00:25:38,637 --> 00:25:39,538
my brother.

685
00:25:39,671 --> 00:25:41,407
So you want to
think about this?

686
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:42,875
BRENT: Yep.
ROBBIE: Alright.

687
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:49,415
MIKE: Dang, that's so cool.

688
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,817
JERSEY JON:
That is bad to the bone.

689
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:54,319
MIKE: Show us around which
building we're going to go in?

690
00:25:54,453 --> 00:25:56,588
JOHN: This one over here.
MIKE: I love this guy.

691
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:59,825
He's into historic preservation,
he's into old signs,

692
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:02,494
he's into bicycles,
he's into taxidermy.

693
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:04,696
He's got a 27-foot long counter.

694
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:06,698
He's awesome!

695
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:07,766
What do these say?

696
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,568
JOHN: Those are Coca-Cola signs,

697
00:26:09,701 --> 00:26:13,739
and they, this Army
Navy Surplus store

698
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:16,475
got them all and painted
them out in black,

699
00:26:16,608 --> 00:26:18,844
and then lettered them
with his store name.

700
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:21,747
Now I've got a picture
of one that has been stripped.

701
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,616
They look pretty doggone
nice, once they're done.

702
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:25,851
MIKE: Really?

703
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:29,388
JOHN: The 4x8 Coca-Cola
signs that are painted over

704
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:31,457
in black paint
are pretty interesting.

705
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,959
I've got a friend
that has one of them.

706
00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:37,129
He stripped the paint off of it,
and it restored into a beautiful

707
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:38,997
Coca-Cola sign.

708
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:42,468
And I think it has a date stamp
on it of 1948 or '49.

709
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:45,637
MIKE: Let me see.
JOHN: That's what it looks like.

710
00:26:45,771 --> 00:26:47,005
MIKE: Wow.
JERSEY JON: Wow.

711
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:49,575
MIKE: Now it looks cool,
looks really cool.

712
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:52,411
JOHN: What I've got are eight
of the same signs,

713
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:54,246
but they still have
the black paint on them.

714
00:26:54,379 --> 00:26:56,215
MIKE: Would you be interested
in selling all of them?

715
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:58,517
JOHN: I don't know if you
want them all, you just
make me a price.

716
00:26:58,650 --> 00:27:00,919
MIKE: It's worth taking
the gamble because of the age

717
00:27:01,053 --> 00:27:03,789
of these signs, the size
of them, and the fact that

718
00:27:03,922 --> 00:27:05,591
they're in the
original wood frame.

719
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:07,426
Some of them look like

720
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:09,561
it's maybe not going
to be that big a deal.

721
00:27:09,695 --> 00:27:11,897
That one's not bad there...
from, that's from heat.

722
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:14,399
JERSEY JON: Looking pretty good.
MIKE: Yeah.

723
00:27:14,533 --> 00:27:17,336
MIKE: Others look like it's
really going to be a journey.

724
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:18,804
That is bare metal.

725
00:27:18,937 --> 00:27:20,606
So you're not going to get
anything with that.

726
00:27:20,739 --> 00:27:22,841
JOHN: I think they've
got tremendous potential.

727
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,910
JERSEY JON: A lot of
bullet holes in that one.

728
00:27:25,043 --> 00:27:26,044
That got pepper shot.

729
00:27:26,178 --> 00:27:27,546
MIKE: Oh God, yeah it did!

730
00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:29,314
JERSEY JON:
That got bird shot, man.

731
00:27:29,448 --> 00:27:31,483
JOHN: But it's going to take
some elbow grease
and some paint stripper

732
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:32,951
to clean them up
and put them back.

733
00:27:33,085 --> 00:27:36,054
MIKE: I'd do 4,000 for
all of them. That's 500 apiece.

734
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:38,023
Some are probably going
to turn out maybe good,

735
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:40,592
and some are going to turn out
maybe not so good, you know.

736
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:44,196
JOHN: I think the risk of the
$4,000 purchase is all on Mike.

737
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:47,366
I think the potential is
tremendous, but if I'm wrong,

738
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:49,601
he's got a 4x8 sheet of tin.

739
00:27:49,735 --> 00:27:51,970
I'll do that. I'll do that.
MIKE: Okay.

740
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:53,672
JOHN: And I understand,
I understand the risk.

741
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:55,174
I've started to do
them 100 times.

742
00:27:55,307 --> 00:27:56,842
And I've just never
taken the time to...

743
00:27:56,975 --> 00:27:58,343
MIKE: Oh, so you have
started to do them?

744
00:27:58,477 --> 00:27:59,745
JOHN: No I meant like
started thinking...

745
00:27:59,878 --> 00:28:01,613
MIKE: Oh, like within your mind.
JOHN: Like in my mind, yeah.

746
00:28:01,747 --> 00:28:03,248
JERSEY JON: Yeah, how you're
going to do it, yeah.

747
00:28:03,382 --> 00:28:04,383
JOHN: That's where
I start stuff.

748
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:06,184
MIKE: Whoa Jersey,
you need that stove, man.

749
00:28:06,318 --> 00:28:07,719
JERSEY JON: Negative.

750
00:28:08,453 --> 00:28:10,489
MIKE: Alright.
JERSEY JON: This place is huge!

751
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:12,090
MIKE: There's some
more bicycles.

752
00:28:12,224 --> 00:28:14,626
JERSEY JON:
It's all about square footage
when it comes to like, antiques.

753
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,295
MIKE: See the tank on the front
of that ladies' bike?

754
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:17,763
JERSEY JON: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow that's a Colson?

755
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:19,631
MIKE: Yeah, it's
called a Clipper.

756
00:28:19,765 --> 00:28:22,367
JERSEY JON: The more room you
got, the more stuff you can buy,
the more money you can make.

757
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:24,002
MIKE: Look at this, Jersey.
This is heavy duty, back here.

758
00:28:24,136 --> 00:28:27,105
Holy crapola!
What's all that iron in there?

759
00:28:27,239 --> 00:28:29,508
JOHN: There's a movie theatre
worth of seats in there.

760
00:28:29,641 --> 00:28:31,476
MIKE: Man, you're
in the architectural
salvage business,

761
00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:33,045
you're in the commercial
property business,

762
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:34,913
you're in the restoration
preservation

763
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,081
of historic property business.

764
00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:38,150
JOHN: Let me get that on
a recording for my wife.

765
00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:40,152
She calls me something else.

766
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:43,655
MIKE: Walking back into this
room is like walking into

767
00:28:43,789 --> 00:28:45,390
a large jigsaw puzzle.

768
00:28:45,524 --> 00:28:47,526
There's a part for
this over there,

769
00:28:47,659 --> 00:28:48,860
there's a part for
that over there.

770
00:28:48,994 --> 00:28:52,230
You have to kind of really be
able to put some of this stuff

771
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:53,265
together in your mind.

772
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:55,267
JERSEY JON: Isn't that creepy?
MIKE: Yeah.

773
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,236
Get out of here with
that, you freak!

774
00:28:59,538 --> 00:29:01,506
It's freakin' me out, man.
JERSEY JON: Creepy, dude.

775
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:11,083
MIKE: You got some space.

776
00:29:11,216 --> 00:29:13,051
JOHN: This was originally
a skating rink.

777
00:29:13,185 --> 00:29:14,419
MIKE: It was
a roller-skating rink.

778
00:29:14,553 --> 00:29:15,854
JOHN: Yes.
MIKE: Okay.

779
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:17,222
JOHN: And I sold the building,

780
00:29:17,356 --> 00:29:19,124
and the guy
demolished half of it.

781
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:20,726
And asked me to buy it back.

782
00:29:20,859 --> 00:29:22,194
MIKE: Okay. Whoa!

783
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:24,262
Oh my gosh,
look at this, Jersey.

784
00:29:24,396 --> 00:29:26,131
JERSEY JON: Wow!
MIKE: God, you are Mr. Railroad.

785
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:27,666
(laughing)

786
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:29,067
MIKE: This is amazing!

787
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:31,603
Yeah you've got to Memphis,
from Memphis,

788
00:29:31,737 --> 00:29:33,772
to Louisville, to Nashville.

789
00:29:33,905 --> 00:29:37,542
The L&N Railway ran from
Louisville to Nashville.

790
00:29:37,676 --> 00:29:40,512
And eventually spanned
from New Orleans

791
00:29:40,646 --> 00:29:42,681
all the way to Cincinnati.

792
00:29:42,814 --> 00:29:44,683
JOHN: Got the train names
on there too, Hummingbird.

793
00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:46,985
JERSEY JON: Oh the Hummingbird,
yeah. Look at that, yep.

794
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:48,687
MIKE: Pan American.

795
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:50,422
JOHN: Didn't the Hummingbird
go all the way to New Orleans?

796
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:52,424
MIKE: Yeah, man. This was
one of the most important

797
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:54,326
signs in the depot.

798
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:55,861
JERSEY JON: It's all
hand-lettered, Mike.

799
00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:58,330
MIKE: This is telling you
when your train is leaving,

800
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:01,333
where it's going, and what
train you're riding on.

801
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:04,536
And a lot of those details would
have been written in chalk

802
00:30:04,670 --> 00:30:06,271
by the stationmaster.

803
00:30:06,405 --> 00:30:08,140
MIKE: 1,200 bucks for that.

804
00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:09,841
JOHN: I need 1,500
out of this one.

805
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:12,377
It's the only one
I've ever even seen.

806
00:30:12,511 --> 00:30:14,212
MIKE: It's a big piece.
JERSEY JON: Yep.

807
00:30:14,346 --> 00:30:17,015
MIKE: It's an incredible piece.
Tremendous amount of history.

808
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:18,850
Self-serve luggage carts.

809
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:21,320
You literally cannot
be in this room

810
00:30:21,453 --> 00:30:24,289
without standing on a sign
most of the time.

811
00:30:24,423 --> 00:30:26,491
And there's so many signs
all over the place.

812
00:30:26,625 --> 00:30:28,794
And these are
the different towns.
Look at the gilding on that.

813
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:30,996
JERSEY JON: What does that say?
MIKE: That's rail Chehaw.

814
00:30:31,129 --> 00:30:32,731
JOHN: I think that's
up in North Alabama.

815
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:35,300
MIKE: From the restroom sign
to the baggage sign.

816
00:30:35,434 --> 00:30:37,436
MIKE: US Mail Room.

817
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:38,804
No Admittance.

818
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:41,106
It's incredible
the amount of signage here.

819
00:30:41,239 --> 00:30:42,107
Cannonville.

820
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,043
And the condition
that it's in for its age.

821
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:47,646
JOHN: When he got in there and
they read the subject matter

822
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:50,982
on these signs, I could tell
the excitement was rising.

823
00:30:51,116 --> 00:30:52,684
MIKE: Union City.
JERSEY JON: Union City.

824
00:30:52,818 --> 00:30:55,587
JOHN: Rising every minute.
MIKE: Montgomery, Alabama.

825
00:30:55,721 --> 00:30:57,222
JERSEY JON: Ooh,
that's pretty cool.
MIKE: That's cool.

826
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,490
There's more over here.

827
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:01,093
Every one of these signs
represents a depot

828
00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:02,961
that represents a town.

829
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:04,162
Madras. Here.

830
00:31:04,296 --> 00:31:08,066
And a lot of these towns
existed because of the railroad.

831
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,634
Fairburn.
JERSEY JON: Fairburn.

832
00:31:09,768 --> 00:31:11,336
MIKE: The railroad connected
this country

833
00:31:11,470 --> 00:31:12,838
from coast to coast.

834
00:31:12,971 --> 00:31:16,141
Another Union City, same one.
And then that's it.

835
00:31:16,274 --> 00:31:18,376
This is southern
railroad history.

836
00:31:18,510 --> 00:31:20,212
The collection is
really incredible.

837
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:22,814
JOHN: I've had a guy look at
these signs, these wooden signs,

838
00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:27,352
they're around $700 apiece
retail, on average.

839
00:31:27,486 --> 00:31:30,822
JOHN: I'm not an expert,
I'm not certain of the value

840
00:31:30,956 --> 00:31:32,290
on some of these signs.

841
00:31:32,424 --> 00:31:34,459
I did have what
I consider an expert,

842
00:31:34,593 --> 00:31:36,595
come in and help advise me.

843
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:38,096
MIKE: This stuff is pretty rare.

844
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:39,831
JERSEY JON: How many
are there, Mike?

845
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:41,199
MIKE: Eight.
I got, there's eight signs.

846
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:44,503
Would you do 400 apiece, if
your guy's saying 700 retail?

847
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,675
JOHN: Well, I'll do that.
MIKE: Okay.

848
00:31:50,809 --> 00:31:53,111
Shake his hand, Jersey. 3,200.
JERSEY JON: Thank you, sir.

849
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:55,213
JOHN: Yes, sir.
I think between us we came to

850
00:31:55,347 --> 00:31:57,149
a fair price for both of us.

851
00:31:57,282 --> 00:32:00,719
I think they'll be great in
someone's home or in a museum.

852
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,660
BRENT: We got another big shed
down here that's got stuff

853
00:32:08,794 --> 00:32:11,296
that's probably 70 years old
on the old merry-go-round.

854
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:15,066
We have one set

855
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,068
of merry-go-round
horses in here.

856
00:32:17,202 --> 00:32:18,203
ROBBIE: Oh wow.

857
00:32:18,336 --> 00:32:20,138
BRENT: Some of them are small,
some are medium.

858
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:21,506
ROBBIE:
Wow, that thing's heavy too.

859
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,707
BRENT: Yeah.

860
00:32:22,841 --> 00:32:24,576
ROBBIE: These horses have such
a dramatic look to them.

861
00:32:24,709 --> 00:32:26,511
They're not just
standing horses.

862
00:32:26,645 --> 00:32:30,182
These are running horses,
so they're sleek, they're long.

863
00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:32,017
BRENT: These horses here
are in better shape,

864
00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:34,085
'cause they're always running.

865
00:32:34,219 --> 00:32:36,988
ROBBIE: The paint on them is
not chipping, and actually,

866
00:32:37,122 --> 00:32:39,057
the colours are awesome.

867
00:32:39,191 --> 00:32:40,158
How many are there?

868
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:41,660
BRENT: 26 of them.
ROBBIE: 26?

869
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:42,694
BRENT: Yeah.

870
00:32:42,828 --> 00:32:45,130
ROBBIE: How much,
if I buy a few of them,

871
00:32:45,263 --> 00:32:46,264
what's the price on them?

872
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:47,699
Versus if I buy them all?

873
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:50,001
BRENT: It's probably another
item that I'd like to talk

874
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:51,603
to Cindy about, because...

875
00:32:51,736 --> 00:32:52,938
ROBBIE: Okay.
Why don't you go get Cindy?

876
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:54,773
I want to call my
brother on these.
BRENT: Okay.

877
00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:56,374
These are in great shape.

878
00:32:56,508 --> 00:32:58,743
Most guys are going to look at
these and just either hang it
on a wall,

879
00:32:58,877 --> 00:33:00,312
or they're going to put the pole
through it

880
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:02,581
and put a base on it,
and put it in their living room.

881
00:33:02,714 --> 00:33:03,648
It's a decorator piece.

882
00:33:03,782 --> 00:33:05,183
MIKE: John, you're wearing me
out, man,

883
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:07,118
with the railroad stuff,
I'm telling you right now.

884
00:33:07,252 --> 00:33:10,589
I've never seen this much of an
extensive sign collection

885
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:11,823
with railroad.

886
00:33:11,957 --> 00:33:13,291
JERSEY JON: Yeah, I'd never
seen that much signage.

887
00:33:13,425 --> 00:33:15,861
MIKE: It's almost like
it was all from one place.

888
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:18,730
JOHN: It was. This was.
MIKE: It was?

889
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:21,800
JOHN: It's not so much that
I'm a railroad collector.

890
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:23,335
I'm not a model railroader.

891
00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:27,806
I did acquire this almost
in defense

892
00:33:27,939 --> 00:33:29,908
of the railroad artifacts.

893
00:33:30,041 --> 00:33:32,611
There was a gentleman that was
going to put together a museum

894
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:35,614
in Montgomery,
down at Union Station.

895
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:39,618
It started and he had a stroke,
and could no longer run it.

896
00:33:39,751 --> 00:33:43,054
He got real ill, and his family
called me to ask me

897
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:45,757
to come in and buy the artifacts
that he had

898
00:33:45,891 --> 00:33:48,860
and pay off the banknote,
which I did.

899
00:33:48,994 --> 00:33:52,030
It was either step up
and buy the stuff,

900
00:33:52,163 --> 00:33:55,100
which I didn't really need,
or it would all be scrapped,

901
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:56,835
including the locomotive,
the whole bit.

902
00:33:56,968 --> 00:33:58,036
MIKE: No kiddin'.
JOHN: Yes.

903
00:33:58,169 --> 00:33:59,671
MIKE: So the locomotive
that you have...

904
00:33:59,804 --> 00:34:02,007
JOHN: Oh that was part
of the purchase. Yes.

905
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:03,708
MIKE: Oh my gosh,
you did step up.

906
00:34:03,842 --> 00:34:08,280
John understood its value
and its historical significance.

907
00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:10,482
So to have the opportunity

908
00:34:10,615 --> 00:34:13,685
to look through some of
these pieces is incredible.

909
00:34:13,818 --> 00:34:15,186
What'd your guy
say on that one?

910
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,822
JOHN: $1,000.
MIKE: How about six?

911
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:21,026
JOHN: 650 and we'll do it.
MIKE: Alright, 650.

912
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:22,360
JOHN: I'll give you
a left-handed shake.

913
00:34:22,494 --> 00:34:24,696
MIKE: This is the kind of stuff,
as a picker,

914
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:27,265
that you dream about
going through your hands.

915
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,267
JERSEY JON: John, there's a box
full of lanterns in here,

916
00:34:29,401 --> 00:34:32,337
and the only one I'm going
to be interested in

917
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:34,272
is this amber globe.

918
00:34:34,406 --> 00:34:37,008
The kerosene lantern is
a signal lantern for a train,

919
00:34:37,142 --> 00:34:38,576
to tell the engineer to stop.

920
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:41,146
JOHN: I knew you'd pick out
the most expensive lantern

921
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:42,180
in the whole bunch.

922
00:34:42,314 --> 00:34:43,748
How about $85?

923
00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:46,851
JERSEY JON: 85, how about 75?
JOHN: Alright, let's do 75.

924
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:48,653
Just 'cause I like ya.

925
00:34:48,787 --> 00:34:50,922
MIKE: The quality of these
pieces, the rarity,

926
00:34:51,056 --> 00:34:53,959
and to have so much
of it at one time.

927
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:55,827
JERSEY JON: You've got
this bridge sign here.

928
00:34:55,961 --> 00:34:57,762
It's a cast iron sign.

929
00:34:57,896 --> 00:35:00,432
Notice: all persons are warned

930
00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:03,535
not to trespass on this bridge.

931
00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:05,003
JOHN: How about $150?

932
00:35:05,136 --> 00:35:06,404
JERSEY JON: That's exactly
what I was thinking.

933
00:35:06,538 --> 00:35:07,606
Thank you, John,
I appreciate that.

934
00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:09,975
MIKE: John did his part.
Now it's up to us

935
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:13,144
to get these signs into
the hands of the right people.

936
00:35:13,278 --> 00:35:15,714
Look at that Baggage Room sign.
800.

937
00:35:15,847 --> 00:35:18,383
JOHN: I'm gonna do that, 'cause
I actually was thinking about 7.

938
00:35:18,516 --> 00:35:19,784
Really was.
MIKE: Okay. Shake his hand.

939
00:35:19,918 --> 00:35:20,785
JERSEY JON: Yeah, man.
MIKE: Jersey.

940
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:22,253
JERSEY JON: Thank you, sir.

941
00:35:22,387 --> 00:35:24,723
(phone ringing)

942
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:26,458
<i>MIKE: Hey, what's up,
little brother?</i>

943
00:35:26,591 --> 00:35:28,893
ROBBIE: Nothing. Hey, did you
get that picture I sent ya?

944
00:35:29,027 --> 00:35:29,928
<i>MIKE: Yeah, what
are they made of?</i>

945
00:35:30,061 --> 00:35:31,696
ROBBIE: Like a cast
heavy aluminum.

946
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:34,299
<i>MIKE: How many is there?</i>
ROBBIE: There's 26 of them.

947
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:37,168
<i>MIKE: Dang!
Okay, that's a commitment.</i>

948
00:35:37,302 --> 00:35:38,503
ROBBIE:
Yeah, I know, that's why...

949
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:40,605
<i>MIKE: is there any like,
you know, like pinks?</i>

950
00:35:40,739 --> 00:35:42,507
ROBBIE: There is a pink
and white one in there.

951
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,909
There's a black and white one.
There's some yellows.

952
00:35:45,043 --> 00:35:47,012
<i>MIKE: Have you been buying
other stuff from the guy?</i>

953
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,646
ROBBIE: Oh yeah. I found some
other motorcycle thing.

954
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:50,982
Rides here, but he's got to
talk to his sister first.

955
00:35:51,116 --> 00:35:52,517
<i>MIKE: Oh you did?</i>
ROBBIE: Yeah.

956
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:54,552
But he's got to talk to his
sister and he went to go

957
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,755
talk to his sister about these,
these horses.

958
00:35:56,888 --> 00:35:59,024
<i>MIKE: I think the retail number
on them's probably like four,
four and a quarter.</i>

959
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:00,859
<i>I mean, if they're something
that you want to sell.</i>

960
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:04,763
<i>Yeah, so I mean, if you
can get them for a couple of
hundred bucks apiece.</i>

961
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:07,699
<i>Alright.</i>
ROBBIE: Alright, love ya, bye.

962
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,637
CINDY: Heh, you still?

963
00:36:12,771 --> 00:36:14,572
ROBBIE: Oh, where have you been
all day? I've been, I mean...

964
00:36:14,706 --> 00:36:17,175
CINDY: I've been busy,
but you're still
digging out, aren't ya?

965
00:36:17,308 --> 00:36:19,711
ROBBIE: My back's hurting today.
You guys got heavy stuff.

966
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:21,846
BRENT: I talked to Cindy
about it on both rides.

967
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:23,748
Just throw something at us

968
00:36:23,882 --> 00:36:25,750
and then we'll see if
we want to go with it.

969
00:36:25,884 --> 00:36:28,219
ROBBIE: I'll tell you
what I wanna be on
the motorcycle rides.

970
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:30,021
There's five of them.
BRENT: Okay.

971
00:36:30,155 --> 00:36:32,357
ROBBIE: I want to be on
the motorcycle rides,
I want to be 1,250 on them.

972
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:34,325
BRENT: If you're going to
take them out of the trailer

973
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:36,061
and get 'em yourself.

974
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:37,896
I'm going to do you
1,000 on that.

975
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:40,331
ROBBIE: Okay.
BRENT: Okay, 1,000
on the motorcycles.

976
00:36:40,465 --> 00:36:43,835
ROBBIE: Umm on these,
I wanted, I want to do...

977
00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:46,204
CINDY: These are down to
probably about 800, 900,

978
00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:48,339
somewhere around there apiece.

979
00:36:48,473 --> 00:36:49,708
So, I don't know.

980
00:36:49,841 --> 00:36:51,976
Maybe 5 or $600 apiece?

981
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:56,848
ROBBIE: At, at the number you
just gave me,

982
00:36:56,981 --> 00:36:58,083
we're so far apart.

983
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,517
If I was to take them all.

984
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:01,419
BRENT: I'd like, I'd like to at
least try to get

985
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:02,587
300 apiece for them.

986
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:06,624
So 26 times 3, that's $7,800.

987
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:09,828
BRENT: So if we come down
to $7,000, and that's...

988
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:11,396
ROBBIE: I'll tell you,
I'll tell you what.

989
00:37:11,529 --> 00:37:14,499
I would rather take
five of them.

990
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:15,967
BRENT: Before you do that,

991
00:37:16,101 --> 00:37:20,071
I'm going to go as low
as $6,000 for all 26 of them.

992
00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:23,208
ROBBIE: 230 bucks apiece?
BRENT: Correct.

993
00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:25,310
Yeah, and...
CINDY: That sounds good to me.

994
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:26,744
BRENT: Sounds good to you?
CINDY: Mmm-hmm.

995
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:28,513
ROBBIE: I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.

996
00:37:28,646 --> 00:37:30,815
CINDY: Alright. Sounds good.
ROBBIE: You should have
came out earlier though.

997
00:37:30,949 --> 00:37:33,451
Seriously, he's getting a little
softer since you got out here.

998
00:37:33,585 --> 00:37:34,953
CINDY: Oh, I seen
where you'd been.

999
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:36,754
I don't think I need
to be in the hole.

1000
00:37:36,888 --> 00:37:39,224
ROBBIE: Bumper cars,
carousels, boat rides.

1001
00:37:39,357 --> 00:37:42,127
There are entire generations
of Americans who grew up

1002
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,329
with these as part
of their family life.

1003
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:46,965
BRENT: All these kids,
they've grown and have kids now.

1004
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:48,833
And every time you
go in somewhere.

1005
00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:51,369
CINDY: We remember y'all,
we remember you, Miss Cindy.

1006
00:37:51,503 --> 00:37:52,837
And I'm going...
BRENT: Everybody knows you.

1007
00:37:52,971 --> 00:37:55,073
Everybody knows your Daddy.
ROBBIE: I appreciate it.

1008
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:57,408
I love the family stories here.

1009
00:37:57,542 --> 00:37:58,810
BRENT: A lot of lives
have been touched.

1010
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:01,246
Through all the businesses
and stuff that Daddy had.

1011
00:38:01,379 --> 00:38:03,715
ROBBIE: These rides that I got
here today will help people

1012
00:38:03,848 --> 00:38:06,918
give their own kids some
of the same wonder and joy.

1013
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:08,253
BRENT: Everything good!

1014
00:38:08,386 --> 00:38:09,621
ROBBIE: Thanks guys,
appreciate it!

1015
00:38:16,461 --> 00:38:17,529
JERSMIKE: Let's look made
in here real quick.

1016
00:38:20,098 --> 00:38:22,133
Here, hold that, Jersey.
Let me see that.

1017
00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:23,601
JERSEY JON: Yep. What is it?

1018
00:38:24,702 --> 00:38:27,438
MIKE: It's a portrait
of a Civil War soldier.

1019
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:30,375
It's very amateur,
but it's still a neat subject.

1020
00:38:30,508 --> 00:38:31,543
I'm digging it.

1021
00:38:31,676 --> 00:38:33,611
JERSEY JON: Dude, somebody
made this in the '70s.

1022
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:35,313
MIKE: You think this is 1970?

1023
00:38:35,446 --> 00:38:36,748
JERSEY JON: Mmm-hmm.
MIKE: Of a Civil War soldier?

1024
00:38:36,881 --> 00:38:38,049
JERSEY JON: Yep.
MIKE: Why?

1025
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:39,684
JERSEY JON: 'Cause it's got
finished nails in the frame.

1026
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,386
The moulding came
from Home Depot.

1027
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:43,388
The frame makes me question
the age of the painting.

1028
00:38:43,521 --> 00:38:46,558
MIKE: To me it looks
way older than 1970.

1029
00:38:46,691 --> 00:38:47,959
JERSEY JON:
Okay, do what you want.

1030
00:38:48,092 --> 00:38:50,795
MIKE: Jersey is Mr. Wood.
And I appreciate his opinion.

1031
00:38:50,929 --> 00:38:55,333
But what he is looking at is
the frame around the painting.

1032
00:38:55,466 --> 00:38:58,102
Okay, date the canvas for me.

1033
00:38:58,236 --> 00:38:59,971
JERSEY JON: I don't know
how to date that canvas.

1034
00:39:00,104 --> 00:39:01,806
Perhaps you're right.
I mean, they could have

1035
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:04,008
reframed this thing,
but I know what the frame is.

1036
00:39:04,142 --> 00:39:05,710
MIKE:
This is an early painting.

1037
00:39:05,844 --> 00:39:08,179
Is it done well? Not really.

1038
00:39:08,313 --> 00:39:11,216
But it's a great
decorator piece.

1039
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:14,953
It's of a Confederate soldier,
and to me, it's historic.

1040
00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:17,121
JERSEY JON: The frame is new.
MIKE: 500 bucks.

1041
00:39:17,255 --> 00:39:19,023
JOHN: I would think
more like 800 bucks.

1042
00:39:19,157 --> 00:39:20,758
JERSEY JON: It's not dated.

1043
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:22,827
I feel Mike should be cautious
about buying this piece.

1044
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:26,097
JOHN: Honestly, even at that,
it could be worth 2,800.

1045
00:39:26,231 --> 00:39:29,000
MIKE: I'm all in. 800.
JOHN: Okay. We're good.

1046
00:39:29,133 --> 00:39:30,235
JERSEY JON: It's modern.
JOHN: Alright.

1047
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:32,003
MIKE: Okay. Whoa!

1048
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:33,438
JERSEY JON:
Oh, went right through it.

1049
00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:34,772
MIKE: Did it really?
JERSEY JON: No.

1050
00:39:34,906 --> 00:39:36,574
(laughing)

1051
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:38,876
MIKE: What about this piece?
Whoa, here you go.
Look at the shoe.

1052
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:41,813
JERSEY JON: That's cool.
MIKE: What's left of it.

1053
00:39:41,946 --> 00:39:44,482
JERSEY JON: It's almost
like a folk art neon.

1054
00:39:44,616 --> 00:39:49,387
MIKE: Yeah. This sign is earlier
than the neon conversion.

1055
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,623
JERSEY JON: They added a neon.
MIKE: Yeah, they added
the neon to it.

1056
00:39:51,756 --> 00:39:53,224
JOHN: $50 and you can have it.

1057
00:39:53,358 --> 00:39:54,726
MIKE: No, I'd pay way
more than that for it.

1058
00:39:54,859 --> 00:39:56,194
JERSEY JON: Give him 200
bucks for it, dude.

1059
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:57,662
MIKE: I'll give you 300.
JERSEY JON: There you go.

1060
00:39:57,795 --> 00:39:59,230
JOHN: You're way too generous,
but I'll take the money.

1061
00:39:59,364 --> 00:40:00,865
MIKE: I'll give you 300.
JOHN: I will take your money.

1062
00:40:00,999 --> 00:40:02,967
MIKE: I mean, it's an early
piece though, it's early,
you know.

1063
00:40:03,101 --> 00:40:04,202
JOHN: You're fair, I know that.

1064
00:40:04,335 --> 00:40:05,803
JERSEY JON:
What about this gauge, man?

1065
00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:07,338
JOHN: It came with
the railroad items.

1066
00:40:07,472 --> 00:40:08,740
JERSEY JON: So this is
a stationary steam gauge.

1067
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:10,241
They didn't put them
on locomotives.

1068
00:40:10,375 --> 00:40:12,243
This is a steam that
powered a factory.

1069
00:40:12,377 --> 00:40:13,378
MIKE: Wow, that's cool.

1070
00:40:13,511 --> 00:40:14,879
JERSEY JON: That's a cool
gauge, man. It's neat.

1071
00:40:15,013 --> 00:40:16,114
MIKE: The bracket is incredible.

1072
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:18,716
JERSEY JON: Yeah, the gauge
is probably 1875, 1880s.

1073
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,052
The gauge is the most important
part of a steam engine.

1074
00:40:21,185 --> 00:40:23,121
It's the difference between
life and death.

1075
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,389
You got too much pressure...
(loud explosion)

1076
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:26,457
It's going to blow up.
125 bucks.

1077
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:28,293
JOHN: 225.
JERSEY JON: 225, how about--

1078
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:29,460
MIKE: Man John,
that's killer, man.

1079
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:31,429
JERSEY JON: $175.

1080
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:35,066
JOHN: 200.
JERSEY JON: Alright.
I'll take it for 200.

1081
00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:36,801
MIKE: I see you got
a couple of signs in here.

1082
00:40:36,934 --> 00:40:40,538
A home garden is profitable
and offers healthful recreation.

1083
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:44,942
Buy seed in bulk.
The better way.

1084
00:40:45,076 --> 00:40:47,378
These signs look like they're
hand-painted on Masonite.

1085
00:40:47,512 --> 00:40:49,914
Grow fresh vegetables
and save money.

1086
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:53,418
The common thread is that
they're from a garden center.

1087
00:40:53,551 --> 00:40:54,952
I'll give you 200
for all of them.

1088
00:40:55,086 --> 00:40:56,754
JOHN: Done.
MIKE: Thank you, buddy.

1089
00:40:56,888 --> 00:40:58,990
JOHN: Yeah that's... that's
the business they came out of,

1090
00:40:59,123 --> 00:41:00,792
this J.W. Shreve.

1091
00:41:00,925 --> 00:41:02,960
What do you offer on it?
MIKE: I'm Shreve'd out.

1092
00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:04,329
JOHN: Alright.

1093
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:06,464
MIKE: Alright.
JERSEY JON: Get in there.

1094
00:41:06,597 --> 00:41:07,966
MIKE: Lay this on top of here.

1095
00:41:08,099 --> 00:41:10,635
JOHN: Mike has got
tremendous knowledge.

1096
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,037
I would make Mike what I
considered a decent price,

1097
00:41:13,171 --> 00:41:15,306
and he would come back and say,
yes you know,

1098
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,275
that's actually
worth more than that.

1099
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:19,577
So, you know,
that shows integrity.

1100
00:41:19,711 --> 00:41:21,245
JOHN: Ready for this one?
MIKE: Yeah.

1101
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:23,915
JOHN: Alright, here you go.
MIKE: Alright, thank ya.

1102
00:41:24,048 --> 00:41:26,484
John was really more
of a preservationist

1103
00:41:26,617 --> 00:41:28,152
than he was a collector.

1104
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:30,588
I mean, a lot of the things
that we were looking at today,

1105
00:41:30,722 --> 00:41:33,091
you know, he collected them
because he wanted his store

1106
00:41:33,224 --> 00:41:35,426
to look a certain way,
or he collected it because

1107
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,162
he was trying to help out
a family and a friend.

1108
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:41,099
I can't believe you've held onto
that stuff for all these years.

1109
00:41:41,232 --> 00:41:42,567
JOHN: Some things are more
valuable than money.

1110
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:43,968
MIKE: I agree with you 100%.

1111
00:41:44,102 --> 00:41:45,903
All of these things
are worth money,

1112
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:48,339
and he's doing some of
these things for money,

1113
00:41:48,473 --> 00:41:50,742
but really truly, I feel in
his heart,

1114
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:53,411
he's doing it to
preserve some history.

1115
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:54,512
(honks horn)

1116
00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:56,180
JERSEY JON: Keep rolling
down the track!

1117
00:41:56,314 --> 00:41:57,782
JOHN: See ya, Jersey!
You take care!

1118
00:41:57,915 --> 00:41:59,117
MIKE: Who doesn't
love a guy like that?
