Pawn Stars: 7 More *REALLY, REALLY COOL* Items (Part 2)

they got. to the original drawing and color or there were 20 or 30 but it was one of those, the big problem is that it is not the work of art that was photographed ready and made for the album. Do you understand what I'm saying? I totally get it, okay? The artist is basically very well known for this painting and they both basically told me that it would probably sell for about five thousand dollars, okay, okay, and I think it's pretty amazing and it'll probably sell quickly. I have some clients that I know would be interested. so I'll give you a four, I'll tell you what a rick because we're going to be too far a

part

on that unfortunately I like it a little

more

than that a lot

more

than that the price you're offering me I get it I know you did your research but to me it's just not worth passing up so, okay, I can understand it, especially if you're asking 50, but I literally researched it to death.

I had like the best guys I know look at it and that was their opinion, so, um, I'm I'll pack it up and send it back to you. I mean, what are you going to do with it? You know, I think I'll keep it for a while longer. OK dude. Thanks for letting me take a look. I'll have it in a few days, okay, thank you very much, rick, have a good man, bye, I'm at the Murray theater, this is where he does his magic show. He called me because one of the people he works with has something he wants to sell me so I'm down here to see what this article is we know we're in the right place says murray right there and friend wants to learn magic just make you feel like a star me makes me feel like a groupie let's go backstage murray hey buddy hey there you're good to see you welcome backstage how are you buddy what's up this is eric my show and mandy hey how are you in the showroom eric has a super

cool

article he thought that you could Where did I get it from?

Here we go, what is this? In reality he is an automaton magician doing a cups and balls routine. Cups and Balls is actually one of the oldest magic tricks in the world, so what was the point of this automaton thing? It's basically the first robot of our time, yeah I'm just waiting for the day when a robot can take over a dumb job, a robot will never be able to do my job, rick robots are efficient, there's logic in there somewhere, I have this Really

cool

automaton that's pretty old I think. and he looks magical and I thought I'd take him to Murray since he knows all about magic and I know he's friends with the guys at the

pawn

shop.

He's just been collecting dust and I thought he might be worth some money. I'll let you guys discuss this. I have to take a couple of things where we open the doors. Okay, okay, thanks Mark, don't do magic without me, try not to. It's

really

cool, where did you get this thing my grandfather brought? I returned from Europe after World War II and it remained in an attic in my grandmother's house forever and ever. So how does this thing work? It's a clockwork mechanism, it has a winding mechanism, there are rods and gears in there and it also has a little music box.

There in Europe it was very popular from the 16th century to the 1700s to have clocks with automations where little figures did things on the clock face. This is the same. Works? I've never actually toured. I put it on because I was afraid of breaking it. Can we try it? Yes, it's pretty simple how they worked. You roll it up like a music box. Wow, that's cool, that's profoundly cool. Wait, you recognize that song. Here comes the bride, yes. I've heard that several times, it works great, but it looks pretty dirty. You know, it's like it breaks.

It has a lot of dust. I guess it's around 1900. And that's the original silk from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The silk manufacturing process to make it

really

shiny they used mercury, but as the years go by this happens to the silk, it starts to break due to mercury, everything is deteriorating, so it's really cool, I've never seen this

part

icular one before, what do I do? You want it huh, I think around two thousand dollars would be a pretty fair price, okay, I have no idea how much this is worth, let's get Murray here again, yeah, you probably know a little more about this than I do, yeah, sure, hurry up.

Have you activated this yet? Have you taken a look? Yes, it's absolutely amazing. Have you ever seen this one in particular? No, but automatons were luxury

items

, they are not children's toys, they have been in rich and high-end properties and homes for a long time. in the 17th century, 18th century, 19th century, these are really serious works of art, we haven't taken them apart and we see the inside here if you look at the back, this is really interesting in this little sphere that says tower and rouge is root of Charles, he was one of the pioneers who invented music boxes in Saint Croix, Switzerland, around 1865.

That's cool, if we turn this on now, guys, you'll see the real combs start playing on the doll's legs, You will see the cables here. up and down so this is what activates the hands and then activates the actual table. It seems like he does three or four different moves because you know, the more emotions they do, the more they are worth. The good thing about this is that it is everything. original is fine, how do you think this is worth it because of its originality? It works very well and is in very good condition. I would value it at 5,500 really, yeah wow that's a lot more than I thought it was going to be worth.

Sorry, Rick, you guys want to talk about the price and you want to see the magic trick. I'll show you something like this, but in real time, yes, you know I have stage fright. Well, this should be fun. Would you take three thousand dollars for I think that's too low considering what Marty said. Would you do 48? No, I mean, I'm a business owner. There are a million expenses. I'll give you $3,300. Would you go up to four? No, I'll give you $3,500. and not a penny more, you know what's been sitting in my grandma's attic, I'll do 35. sweet, okay, awesome, now I'm going to go find my friend, okay, good luck, thanks, I hope Murray has it made to disappear permanently.
