Pawn Stars: George Washington's 3-Piece Suit (Season 15) | History

okay so we have the headless horseman no drumroll OH [Music] so is this George Washington's - it is it's a three-piece suit that he acquired sometime in the mid 18th century it's amazing that it held up so well it's pretty fit guy now he was 6 - he was a tall man but he wasn't a really large man so our mannequins a little short I purchased this George Washington suit over 21 years ago and it was one of my first major purchases from my collection of Americana it's a major highlight of my collection but if Rick really wants me to put a price on it I'm gonna put a price on it for him today I'm just like it ah it is amazing if I could go back and have a cup of coffee with just about anybody in history would probably be this guy he could've been elected president until the day he died but he stepped down after two terms and he set the standard for presidents to come to me he's one of the most amazing men in history he really is oh yeah so where'd you get it it was passed down from family member to family member and it ended up in an auction in New York City I was able to purchase it at a highlight of my collection until I purchased the Washington sword so it dropped down to number 2 do we know the date on this thing I think it's from the 1750s or 60s okay back then there was a pink and you could still see some of the pink in this area Washington was always very aware of how he presented himself pink would have been a bright color and one that really would have set you off as you know fashion conscious individual and it's all soaked or soaked I'm impressed so you think this is all [ __ ] and everything great yes I think it is on a piece like this what it's dependent on is provenance they're missing pieces as ruling but that's minimal four years old exactly you just don't see a piece of Americana like this very often this is just amazing absolutely so you enticed me with a sword that's not for sale this thing right here does it have a price on it well it's one of my highlights of my collection but everything has a price I'll let you guys work that out very good to see you Rick good to see you we'll see you back in Vegas take care so how much I wouldn't sell for less than three million dollars that's a lot of money it's a lot of suit I don't think I've ever said this but I'm actually considering this I mean it's George Washington suit I mean they never occurred to me that one would be available I am gonna go think and contemplate about this for a little bit can we meet up later absolutely all right I'm intrigued I'll talk to you soon okay thanks so I'm back at the hotel I'm seeing Brian I'm ready to sit down and have a serious conversation with them I'm back back he wants $100,000 for the Paul Revere spoons and three million dollars for George Washington's suit I've been offered items in the millions of dollars before but I've never really considered them until now the suit you asked for three million dollars but what's the best you can do 1.5 no I I appreciate your offer but it's really a major part of my collection how about two million dollars since we're friends I would the best price absolute best price would be two and a half okay and your firm at that absolutely from of that I mean okay well I guess the suits out then I didn't get the suit but you know what it didn't fit me anyway mr. Ben and I got along famously why heat it'll do a pass I got down myself he's got a name engraved on how did you end up with this sound so fun
