Pawn Stars

ouncer: ON THIS EPISODE OF PAWN STARS...

- I GOT THIS CANNON. IT JUST LOOKED REALLY COOL.

- LOOKS LIKE IT'S A REALLY OLD TOY TO ME.

BUT I THINK IT'S BEEN FIRED. - REALLY?

- THEY'RE CALLED A SILVER PARADE SADDLE.

- IT'S THE MOST BLINGYEST SADDLE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

THESE THINGS ARE INCREDIBLE.

- FOR THE MONEY I WANT FOR THESE,

I'VE GOT TO HAVE AS BIG A "WOW" EFFECT ON YOU AS I CAN GET.

WELL, I'M PRETTY WOWED.

- THIS IS THE SAMMY DAVIS COLLECTION.

DAMN, THIS IS A LOT OF STUFF.

- 58 BOXES THAT CONTAIN 60 TAPES.

"BINGO."

I'M RICK HARRISON, AND THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP.

I WORK HERE WITH MY OLD MAN AND MY SON, BIG HOSS.

EVERYTHING IN HERE HAS A STORY AND A PRICE.

ONE THING I'VE LEARNED AFTER 21 YEARS,

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GONNA COME THROUGH THAT DOOR.

- OKAY, GUYS, BE REAL CAREFUL WITH THESE, PLEASE.

WHAT THE ?

MY GOD, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER

JUST TO BRING THE HORSES IN WITH THEM.

- I DECIDED TO COME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO TRY AND SELL MY PARADE SADDLES.

I'M GETTING TOO CLOSE TO RETIREMENT

TO KEEP HANGING ON TO THEM.

SO I'M TRYING TO REALLY

COME OUT AHEAD ON THESE THIS TIME FOR ONCE

AND DO A LITTLE BETTER THAN GETTING MY INVESTMENT BACK.

I'M SURE I WILL.

- WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THESE?

- I'VE BEEN COLLECTING THEM FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS NOW,

THE PARADE SADDLES.

I'VE GOT A TOTAL OF FIVE.

I'VE RIDDEN THEM IN DIFFERENT PARADES AROUND SOUTHERN NEVADA.

THESE HAVE BEEN IN THE ROSE BOWL PARADE.

- YOU KNOW, IT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN EASIER

TO JUST BRING ME IN PICTURES.

- FOR THE MONEY I WANT FOR THESE,

I'VE GOT TO HAVE AS BIG A "WOW" EFFECT ON YOU AS I CAN GET.

OKAY, WELL, I'M PRETTY WOWED.

I MEAN, IT'S THE MOST BLINGYEST SADDLE

I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

VEGAS IS FULL OF COWBOYS,

SO I'VE HAD A LOT OF SADDLES IN MY SHOP.

BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING CLOSE TO THESE PARADE SADDLES.

THESE THINGS ARE INCREDIBLE.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THEM?

- THESE ARE TED FLOWERS SILVER SADDLES.

- THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY SILVER, ARE THEY?

- NO, THEY'RE ACTUALLY NICKEL-PLATED BRONZE.

THAT WAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUALLY

KEEP POLISHING THEM ALL THE TIME,

WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A LOT OF WORK.

- YEAH, 'CAUSE IF THESE WERE SILVER,

I COULD IMAGINE POLISHING THEM EVERY OTHER DAY.

SO HOW MUCH DOES A SADDLE LIKE THIS WEIGH?

- 75 TO 100 POUNDS... - OKAY.

WHEN THEY'RE ALL DECKED OUT.

THAT'S HEAVY FOR A SADDLE.

- YEAH, BUT THE HORSES DON'T EVEN GET UPSET

OR GET BOTHERED WITH IT.

- JUST LIKE A FAT DUDE SITTING ON HIM, RIGHT?

- YEAH, YEAH. -

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUTTING ORNATE SADDLES LIKE THIS ON HORSES

FOR OVER 1,000 YEARS.

THEY USED TO ACT AS ARMOR DURING BATTLE.

NOW THEY'RE USED MOSTLY IN PARADES,

AND I'M SURE THAT'S A GREAT RELIEF TO THE HORSES.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WITH THEM?

- I'D LIKE TO SELL THEM. - OKAY.

HOW MUCH WERE YOU LOOKING TO GET OUT OF THEM?

- I'D LIKE TO GET PROBABLY $8,000 APIECE...

AT LEAST.

- THAT'S A LOT OF DAMN MONEY.

- WELL, RIGHT NOW, TO REPLACE ONE

WOULD BE RIGHT AROUND $20,000 TO $22,000.

UM, THEY LOOK COOL.

BUT I'VE BOUGHT SADDLES BEFORE.

I'VE NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

LET ME GET SOMEONE IN HERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.

I GOT A BUDDY WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS STUFF.

I'LL GET HIM DOWN HERE RIGHT AWAY.

WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, OKAY?

OKAY, THANK YOU.

- I'M SURE I COULD SELL THESE TO A COLLECTOR

OR SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY USES THEM IN PARADES.

THE PROBLEM IS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE WORTH,

SO I'M GONNA CALL A BUDDY OF MINE WHO DOES.

- HI, GUY. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY?

WELL, I GOT AN OLD BEAR HERE.

IT WAS MY GRANDMA'S.

DAMN, THAT IS A CUTE BEAR.

DOES IT TALK?

- IT DOES BETTER THAN THAT, CHUMLEE.

DID YOU HEAR IT?

IT FARTS?

CAME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO TRY TO SELL MY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD TEDDY BEAR.

SHE'S PASSED AWAY, AND I'M GETTING MARRIED,

SO I NEED SOME MONEY TO PAY FOR IT.

I THINK THE BEAR IS, LIKE, 50 YEARS OLD,

SO I HOPE IT'S WORTH SOME MONEY.

I'M HOPING TO GET, YOU KNOW, 200, 300 BUCKS.

- THIS IS A STEIFF BEAR FROM THE '20s

OR THE '30s IN GERMANY.

I'VE HAD QUITE A FEW OF THESE OVER THE YEARS.

THEY'RE SUPER COLLECTIBLE.

IT'S THE ROLLS-ROYCE OF TEDDY BEARS.

BOOK VALUE OF THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT $5,000.

- REALLY? - YEAH, REALLY.

STEIFF WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COMPANIES

TO MAKE TEDDY BEARS BACK IN 1902.

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIM HOW MUCH IT WAS WORTH.

SO WHAT YOU WANTING TO DO WITH THIS, SON?

YOU WANT TO SELL IT? - I'M LOOKING TO SELL IT.

- THE BEAR'S GOT SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT.

THE THREADING ON THE NOSE HAS BEEN LOOSENED.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.

THE FUR IS GETTING MATTED UP AWFUL BAD.

IT'S PRETTY OLD, I MEAN--

- YEAH, WELL, YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT $1,500.

THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

- YOU CAN'T GO ANY-- $2,000?

I CAN GO DOWN TO $1,200.

NO, NO WAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T NEED IT.

IT'S 1,500 BUCKS I DIDN'T HAVE, SO I'LL TAKE IT.

WE GOT A DEAL.

CHUMLEE, GO DO SOME PAPERWORK.

THE BEAR DOESN'T WANT ME TO.

THE BEAR IS--

YOU'RE FIXING TO GET KICKED, CHUMLEE.

- ALL RIGHT, LET'S MEET OVER THERE FOR SOME PAPERWORK.

ALL RIGHT.

- I WAS EXPECTING 200 BUCKS. I GOT 1,500 BUCKS.

GONNA PUT THAT TOWARDS OUR WEDDING.

AND YEAH, I'M PRETTY PUMPED.

- HEY, WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?

- I GOT THIS CANNON, TOY CANNON, I THINK.

I WAS CURIOUS.

I'D KIND OF LIKE TO SEE WHAT IT'S WORTH

AND MAYBE TRY TO SELL IT.

IT'S A PRETTY SWEET TOY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE TERRORIZING

YOUR SISTER'S BARBIE COLLECTION WITH THIS BAD BOY?

THROW A G.I. JOE ON TOP AND JUST RIDE IN.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

- I DECIDED TO COME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY.

I FOUND THIS MINIATURE CANNON AT A GARAGE SALE

AND WANTED TO BRING IT OVER AND POSSIBLY SELL IT.

IF IT'S WORTH SOME MONEY,

YOU KNOW, WHY NOT TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN?

- WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THIS?

GARAGE SALE.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

- NO, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE SAID IT WAS IN THEIR FAMILY.

THEY DIDN'T WANT IT ANYMORE. - OKAY.

- AND EVERY NOW AND THEN, I GO AROUND TO THESE THINGS,

AND IT JUST LOOKED REALLY COOL.

AND I THOUGHT I'D PICK IT UP.

THOUGHT MY KIDS WOULD GET A KICK OUT OF IT

AS SOMETHING TO HAVE AROUND THE HOUSE.

I THINK IT'S REALLY OLD.

THOSE ARE HAND-CUT THREADS RIGHT THERE,

WHICH MEANS PROBABLY BEFORE THE 1830s, 1840s.

WOW.

ALL THE WOOD IS OAK.

AND WHAT'S GOT ME INTRIGUED HERE,

THIS IS REAL BRONZE RIGHT HERE.

OKAY, AND SOMETHING THIS OLD

MADE OUT OF BRONZE WAS EXPENSIVE.

BRONZE WAS NOT CHEAP.

IT WAS EXPENSIVE METAL.

AND IT'S HARD TO WORK WITH.

THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THIS

HOW AND WHEN IT WAS MADE,

THAT IT WAS EXPENSIVE,

AND THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T PUT ME

IN A GREAT POSITION TO MAKE A SMART BUY.

SO WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?

IF IT'S WORTH SOMETHING,

AND I KNOW WHAT I PAID FOR IT, SO I MAY SELL IT.

- YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S WORTH,

AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW OLD IT IS.

THOSE ARE MY TWO BIG CONCERNS WITH THE THING.

IT LOOKS LIKE A TOY TO ME, BUT IT'S ALSO LIKE A GUN.

AND I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO I SHOULD CALL,

IF I SHOULD CALL A REALLY OLD GUN EXPERT,

OR SHOULD I CALL A REALLY OLD TOY EXPERT?

- WHICHEVER IS GONNA GIVE ME THE MOST VALUE.

- WELL, LET ME CALL UP SOME BUDDIES,

FIGURE OUT IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

AND I'LL TRY AND GET HIM IN HERE TOMORROW.

WOULD THAT BE GOOD WITH YOU? - SURE, THAT'S GREAT.

- ALL RIGHT, THANKS A LOT. - THANKS SO MUCH.

THIS THING IS REALLY NEAT,

BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS FOR SURE
