Pawn Stars: These Prices are a HARD NO from Rick!

what do we got here got a 1833 Whitney flint lock musket gun I really love this I mean this is way pre- Civil War these are really cool qu drilling on the gun came to the pawn shop today to sell my 1833 Whitney musket gun it doesn't shoot it has no use for me I'm looking to get about two grand for it uh lease I'll probably take is maybe about 800 bucks these were designed by Eli Whitney company Eli Whitney inventor of the cotton J okay the cotton gen was one of the most important devices of the early 19th century it separated the seed from the cotton since they were able to make cotton products a lot cheaper there was a bigger demand for cotton but unfortunately that led to a huge increase in the amount of slave labor in the Southern United States Eli Whitney was a pretty amazing inventor everyone knows he invented the cotton genin but since the cotton genen had such a strong impact on society people forget he invented other things like this gun so where did you get this I do a lot of trading and selling and uh this came with one of my trades that I did and I saw 1833 on it uh really cool old gun but it's not a flint lock okay well sort of originally it was a flint lock and then it was converted to a percussion cap that side plate there was originally for a flint lock there used to be a hole in the barrel right there so when they converted these they closed that hole and they put that on right there and that's what the cap would fit on okay the difference between a flint lock and a percussion cap is a flint lock is that thing you saw on pirate movies where you pulled the hammer back and when you fired the trigger it shoot Sparks to the powder the powder would light up then it would send a flame that would ignite the gunpowder and then shoot the bullet up well that whole process took like a second so it's really hard to aim at a moving Target with an old flat log okay cap and ball was like the next step in technology you just pulled a cap out of your pocket and it just spit right on top of this pulled the trigger fired it and it flew a flash straight down there and GA it became the bullet do you think that the Barrel's been cut now yeah I mean the way this stock looks it looks like this gun was cut down most War rifles back then were really long something that fits in a holster on a horse is a lot more practical mhm so guys would cut them down this gun is pretty cool you just don't see a lot of muskets made by Eli Whitney and that alone could get collectors interested but I need to know what's been done to it before I can make an offer what do you want to do with it I'm actually wanting to sell it how much you want for it I'm actually looking for 2,000 Whitney are sort of rare but I really don't know the price so let me get someone in here take a look at this thing maybe we can do something sounds good all right I'll be right back I like my guns that are automatic so I'm pretty glad that I'm not back from that era in this point in time hello Joe how's it going I own a gun store Filmore Utah we specialize in guns of all kinds and I come down and help them out whenever I can on guns that they they have questions with this being an Eli Whitney it is indeed a piece of History these came out right at the end of Flint locks they were military contract muskets this has been converted to a percussion obviously Eli Whitney was probably credited with making parts that interchange just was a big huge thing back in those days the soldier in the field if they had a problem with their gun they could go and get a part and fix it their own self what are your concerns with this rifle Rick I want to know if it's been chopped well uh these guns were originally made with a 42in [Music] barrel yeah 30 in so it's had a foot cut off so the whole Bay at lug the whole L piece is busy it's all gone after the war time to make them handier and easier to use they just hack them off so what's something like this worth well a really nice original gun in flint lock hadn't been converted you could be talking $2 or $3,000 the flint lock guns converted to percussion in this Condition it's going to be real lucky to bring 4 or 500 retail price wow I thought it'd be worth a little bit more just even the name of the gun it is still a collectible gun but the condition is not very good on it I wouldn't think Rick would want to pay very much money for it thanks Joe really appreciate it you're very welcome now the wheeling and dealing starts can you go 500 bucks no no I mean it not only no hell no I'm thinking like 150 bucks I mean all this thing is is a piece of decoration now I mean it's interchangeable parts and how about 200 it doesn't even work I can't even fire it um you can take the bucks or take it [Music] home I'll take it all right I was kind of mad that they couldn't give me what I was asking for but I'm still going home with something hey how's it going good how are you what can help you with the today I got a coin that uh I've had since I was a kid okay trying to see what it's worth okay it's not a real coin it's like a ctive coin for George Washington it's a funeral procession [Music] okay he is in glory the world is in tears when I diet's probably going to say he is in tears the world is in [Laughter] glory I decided to come to the pawn shop today to try to sell a commemorative coin that I have from George Washington's funeral I've had it for 30 plus years it's been sitting in storage doing nothing and I'd love to get $2 $300 for it if I could and uh hopefully we'll make that happen where in the world did you get this I was a kid I used to collect coins and my dad took me down to one of the shows in New York City and uh picked that up let me see here it's George Washington on one side surrounded by Laurels um on the other side is the date of his death right here December 14th 1799 and a big earn with GW on it Washington's death had a huge impact on this country and even throughout the world people paid their respects in fact Napoleon ordered 10 days of morning throughout France too bad someone drilled a hole in it you didn't put this hole in there did you no let see son don't finger it up too much Ricky just shut the hell up it's not that old son because I believe that's made out of aluminum back when George Washington was aive of aluminum was a very very expensive metal they didn't use it no I'm pretty sure this is old pups I don't think so Rick well to you it's not that old you were probably there watch it Rick's always a smartass if he shut up and stop cracking jokes he might learn something but no he thinks he knows everything I've raised one stubborn mule of a kid that's not from 1799 son I looks too good it says December 14th 1799 so I'm assuming it's from 1799 Ricky you're talking out yes well let me get it checked out anyway um do you mind if I get someone in here to take a look at it okay okay let me try and get someone down here we'll see what we got going on here and we'll see if we can make a deal okay okay appreciate it all right thanks a lot this could be an interesting find anything George Washington is highly collectible but I need to know more about it before I can even begin to make an offer I'm president of early American history auctions I'm an expert in early American history currency Americana autographs and Colonial historical items so Rick what are your concerns about this piece um quite frankly I just know nothing about it I mean I have no idea what it's worth where it's from anything like that well this is what's called a George Washington Funeral metal they had these medals made in 1800 right after he died and people would wear these actually you notice there's a small hole here Rick yeah it was made to have a hole because people would then put a string or or a ribbon through it and then wear it in commemoration that makes perfect sense as news spread of Washington's death cities and towns all across the country held Memorial Services he was that loved by the people and he still is my concerns is is it that old or is it a reproduction of one that was made back back in that day well it's good for you to question that because it almost looks brand new yeah it's got a lot of luster and shine and Brilliance to it it's really near Min State as far as I could tell and there's just a little bit of wear on the coin itself in my opinion this is absolutely um righteous it's totally legitimate it's authentic it's in great condition I'm very familiar with this metal I've handled a number over the last 30 years so I knew that it was absolutely authentic this is one of the most historic and earliest medals about the funeral of George Washington it's really a great piece so Dino what is it worth well in this quality I think that I would put an estimate range of somewhere um in the $4 to $5,000 really category that's awesome thanks a lot Dana really appreciate it well you're very welcome thanks Dana now that I know how special this coin really is I want it even more but me and the old man have to get it for the right price so what do you want to do with this guy you want to sell it you want to pwn it you want to borrow some money against it what you trying to do I'd like to sell it what do you want for it well he said it uh was worth uh 4 to 5,000 so I was thinking four no not only no but hell no that ain't going to work I'll be honest with you I'll give you two grand for it I don't want to go no higher on this okay so you got two grand two grand two grand and I think that's a fair price how about 2500 how about 15 God I love you dad of course you do everybody does 2500 is a fair price thanks okay all right let's go do some paperwork all right I settle for 2500 it's a great deal I was expecting two to 300 bucks I'm [Music] psyched okay well Aloha um so what do we have here two mid-century tiys all right what's the story well I lived at a place called Polynesian Village they destroyed the place 20 years ago and I said you can't throw these things away so I had a guy restore them for me and it's time to part ways so these things were really cool right after World War II when Hawaii was becoming a state yeah but they're not cool anymore they're not done by a famous artist they are not done very well and no one's going to want to put these in their house I'm sorry but they're just sort of like a hell no okay all right have a nice day thanks for bringing him in sort of was a fun part of evening well everybody has different taste I'm going to be putting them into storage and maybe when I'm ready to sell them they'll be back in style what do we have here well it's an old mixer like a drink mixer okay it looks like Overkill to mix a drink well you know it just depends on how much you're into drinking I'm coming down to the pawn shop today to sell my antique drink mixer the reason I want to sell today is I really don't have any use for it I've never tried to use it but I'm hoping maybe we can mix a drink in the back today when the deal's done where did you get it at a garage sale okay it's probably from the 20s okay uh don't see a patent on it a manufacturer do you know how the mixed drink came about no not really okay it was because of prohibition because the alcohol was so nasty and disgusting that you basically had to mix it was something to get it down bathtub J doesn't taste great on January 1st 1920 it became illegal to sell or manufacture alcohol in the United States so people started drinking cheap homemade booze known as bathtub gin the alcohol tasted so nasty they had to mix it with anything so they can get it down their throat I imagine this probably was put in a bar to liven things up and make everything a little bit cooler you always need a gimmick in a bar you always need to keep it fresh otherwise just turns into a dive check please this is really super power I mean you can mix a lot of things in it I mean put concrete get it you can make some SS um so do you got the other glass no and I don't think this is the original glass I think it broke somewhere yeah there's definitely a market for prohibition error cocktail stuff but this thing is more of a curiosity than a vintage collectible and it's a ways from being in mint condition I like it but I can't pay a lot for it all right what what do you want to do with it well I want to sell it okay uh how much you want for it 350 hell no yeah there's no way you're going to get 350 out of it I mean I might consider it if the thing look semi new but it looks terrible you know it's 90 years old it really works well you know things like this have a tendency to sit it's going to be a tough sell I mean who exactly buys one of these things you know I'll give you 100 bucks for the thing 125 75 he's just mean and grumpy yeah I'll do25 okay I'll take it all right thank you let's go WR it up spending my money again I settled on $125 and I think it's a little bit more than I was expecting to get so I'm real happy I think I'm going to go out and have a nice meal so what do we have here an Edison era x-ray machine okay do you know where the term x-ray came from not exactly sure the reason why it was x-rays is because suddenly they realized these rays were coming out and they had no idea what they were they just called them [Laughter] X-rays I have an antique x-ray machine I collect interesting things to remake and rebuild and reinvent and I thought it might have some value if I'm able to make a sale I will put it towards finding a plasma cutter I like to work with metal that's really cool so where did you get this thing it was found by a friend in a shed packed full of stuff so it's probably was stored for decades do you know much about it I know a little bit okay but not a lot so the guy who invented x-rays his name was roncha he was uh the first guy ever to get a Nobel Prize in physics okay um he was a really famous Professor he tons of experiments electrical experiments and eventually he figured out a process to get a good X-ray on a human being which was just a massive medical Advance this thing sort of solved a lot of problems a lot of different things they used it for not only for medicine but for Metallurgy during World War II some of these planes they could x-ray the welds make sure everything was done right plus a lot of different scientific experiments and things like that they were x-raying mummies so they see what's inside the mummies woohoo and so um is this all you have of it this is all I have of it okay what do we got here right here um all right so General Electric x-ray Corporation didn't they start until the 1930s this is probably 1940s World War II is by that time they knew the x-rays weren't good for you um and you don't have the main part I don't have the main part they probably took you don't have the giant x-ray tube the CRT no do not it's a CID ray tube which is sort of crazy because your TV back in the day you know the big box TVs those were caid Ray tubes but they just had phosphorus in there they caught all the electrons but if you took that off you had an x-ray machine you take the phosphorus away you just have x-rays blasting in your face um this is interesting the problem is you don't have all the parts yeah I know how much did you want for it I was looking to get 1,200 okay a lot of people buy these for the tubes the parts the most expensive part is the X-ray tube that's not here that's not here and basically since you don't have it all here and you don't have the very most expensive part it's basically worthless put it on the internet for sale start it at an auction at zero and be happy for everything you get have a nice day thank you x-rays are kind of cool machine would be kind of cool if it had all the parts it doesn't have the main part so not only is it no it's basically just hell [Music] no what do we have here 1960s I believe uh sports championship ice bucket okay um well it's definitely late 50s early 60s modern I'm assuming this is from probably 1962 or 196 one cuz that's where all the Champions are this thing I mean it's got some incredible names on there the Yankees when they were having their tremendous run in baseball cation is on here from the horse racing which is of course a Triple Crown winner so I think it appeals to a lot of people okay um all right I'm going to be completely honest with you it appeals to nobody I mean all I can say is it's hideous it's zero collectibility um I'm just surprised someone hasn't thrown way see you think somebody like collected like like a Yankees fan would like 1950s huge run when you want to get something like a 1950s baseball or just P you have an ice [Laughter] bucket um dud dude I mean thanks for bringing it there's no way in hell I would ever buy this all right thank you it's like I always say just because it's old doesn't mean it's worth money I don't know why he thought it was worth money but it's just one of those no moments what do we got here we got a couple stained glass windows that came from the Boulder Station Casino okay I'm pretty sure it's the Romans that figured out how to stain glass and it's really funny too cuz of the Roman Empire the second they learned how to make green glass and blue glass suddenly there was emeralds and sapphires all over the Roman Empire I'm here today to sell my stained glass windows it came from the Boulder Station you know I'm hoping to get $10,000 because they're historical and I can't put them in my apartment okay pretty interesting they figured how to make glass like right around 4,000 years ago right around Egypt basically there's certain Sands that if you melt them down the sand turns into a liquid and they were able to cast it and um they would make very simple glass forms and then the Romans actually learned how to stain glass probably like the 6th sth Century it became a big deal with Christian churches and then and in the late 1800s the Victorian era this was all the rage if you had a house you had to have a stained glass window Ian it was like the most important thing in the house and then it kind of fell out of favor so this was from Boulder Station casino right okay being from that casino I mean it's not a historically significant building or anything I mean it might help a little bit if it was from like the El Rancho one of the first ones on the Strip or the flamingo but one of the big problems with staying GL M it's a window so when someone buys it they have to have a window that fits it I mean exactly and that's why I don't want these things at all they're they're next to impossible to sell how much were you were you going to ask for it I was going to ask 10,000 okay um all I can say man is good luck with them okay thank you things like that that aren't just no it's a hell no
