Pawn Stars: Old School Oddities | History

so how did this thing exactly work it would move one way or the other way is illegal this is a Reynolds 1910 envelope sealer this is really neat this is something that definitely made a company's business easier when this thing was in proper working order and you had a great operator who was doing 50 to 100 envelopes a minute I love it I mean there's things that they did back then they don't do today I mean you don't see gold leaking on office equipment anymore and this right here they could have made this for a little less money but it wouldn't look good and this time period aesthetics were very very important mm-hmm so how did this thing exactly work the sticky part of the envelope would be here fed through this way through there yeah come out and then from what I figured out was that you had to close it push it through these other series and rollers okay there we go cool so you want to sell it I'd like to yes how much you want for it just thinking about 400 it's more of a decorator thing than it is a collector thing you already mean weird little things like this go for a couple hundred bucks in this size I'll give you a hundred for it can you do one hundred and a half I'll tell you what I'll give you 125 for 135 125 for it 135 what what just because I am a wonderful human being I will go 130 all right follow me we'll do some paperwork on okay earlier a woman came in with an old police baton she says it can spray tear gas but I'm also concerned that it could hold a shotgun shell which is super illegal so I called up Alex to come down and check it out touch at your own risk he's scared you're worried about this thing it doesn't seem legit I know they've made two different types they did I think the concern is some were easily converted to shoot shotgun shells so this was actually made by a company called the federal laboratories they were in Pennsylvania and it's a tear gas billy club so it's two weapons at once so in order to load it you break it in half you've insert the tiragon canister on this side and it would be held in back here you'd screw it back on and now it's loaded and ready to go with tear gas now it has a safety so you could use it as a baton or a billy club and this was very popular they made this for law enforcement used in prisons asylums even military police is illegal I'm not an attorney I have not had one myself or tried to sell one could you get a shotgun shell in that and actually fire it maybe and if you can get off one round ATF says it's a sawed-off shotgun essentially which is so so illegal yeah I just wouldn't take the risk I appreciate you coming down you're welcome thank you very much I'm really sorry wait fingerprints offices yeah unfortunately it's just it's too gray of an area to deal with I'm gonna have to pass just don't get pulled over on the way home thank you earlier a guy brought in a railroad measuring instrument from the 1800s it's really cool but I have no idea what it's worth so I called in mark my train guy if there's anybody who'll notices it'll be him this is a equilibria stat equal libris debt so it is it is a very cool piece it was designed by DJ Whitmore and he was the chief civil engineer of the Milwaukee Road during their Pacific extension so does this thing actually work it appears that it does they would mount this in the car and as the railroad car went around the curve the elevation was out of kilter it would move one way or the other way and you could see that in the mercury going through the what would it be worth it's very well made and it looks to be an excellent condition I would say somewhere between two and five thousand dollars well thanks ma'am you're very welcome thank you it was your meet you pleasure enjoy the equilibrists that is very rare and that is the first one I've ever seen okay what's your best price on well knowledge help me increase the price and how about 35 minutes I'm gonna sue mime we'll get to out of it and I would be more than willing to pay you $1,000 for them well could you do a little better be do 1,100 bucks Cheers thanks man I'll meet you right over there and we'll do some paperwork you
