I spent $2,300 on this locker because there's
a ton of stuff in there I can sell at the swap meet.
What's cool is we are in Laguna, and they
do have a lot of artists that are hidden here.
So it looks like--
yeah, these are cool.
Well, what they are is they're silhouette photos.
They're done in a plastic, and they're done on a heat mold.
And then somebody actually sits there and hand paints that.
That's a $40 bill all day long.
That's good for three big ones.
They're very collectible.
This is something from the '40s or the '50s and belly
dancing thing.
Oh, here's another one.
Oh-ho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the top.
Can you imagine the little kitten that wore this thing?
I'll tell you, she was tough.
I can get 30 apiece for these.
This is some clothes.
And you know, don't underestimate
looking through some clothes.
Here's a set of Vera Wangs right here.
Any girl knows that Vera Wang shoes
probably run anywheres to $200 to $300
just for one pair of shoes.
Thing that really pisses me off, they're never in my size.
Set those right there.
I like these old frames.
You know, you go buy these things.
They're 30, 40 bucks.
This all adds up.
Here's a pool stick or something like that.
Holy [bleep],, this is not a pool stick.
I need to get a Looper glasses, but I think
this says Wells Fargo on it.
And if this is really a Wells Fargo,
we're looking anywheres from $5,000 to $10,000.
And what they did is they rode on the stagecoaches
with these guns.
That's where the term riding shotgun
came from right there, man.
This is something I'm going to have to get checked out.
That's more than the wow factor.
This is all authentic baby goat skin in here.
These boots probably cost somebody about $700
right here new.
I'm going to get into some really,
really, really nice hats.
What this is, is this is a dresser,
but it's a nice dresser.
See, it's oiled up and cleaned up.
These are going to bring me about $500 apiece.
That's $140 right there.
That's a really, really exquisite table.
I'm already at $2 grand, and I just
barely scratched the surface.
So I'm going to grab my gun and get out of here.
[music playing]
There you go.
Check that out, huh.
Seen one before?
Looks like this is an Ithaca shotgun
made by the Ithaca Gun Company.
Ithaca guns were owned by people such as sharpshooter Annie
Oakley, the composer John Philip Sousa.
Even Al Capone was known to have owned an Ithaca shotgun.
Now, what's very interesting about this particular gun
is that we have WF & Co EXP 89 stamped on the right side
of the frame, and that's referring
to the Wells Fargo & Company.
OK.
Wells Fargo and Company in the turn of the 20th century
was one of the large companies that really solidified
the West as what it is today.
Wow.
So let's do one thing though.
We're gonna want to first check to make
sure all of the serial numbers on the gun are matching.
OK.
First things we're going to do, when we look here, 71,205.
We see that marking here.
71,205, it matches there.
71,205.
So all of the serial numbers on this particular gun
match, which is a good thing.
Wells Fargo did contract Ithaca to produce shotguns for them,
but they produced shotguns for Wells Fargo from 1909 to 1917.
If we track that serial number, this particular gun
was made in 1902.
So we have an issue here.
And the issue is this gun was made
seven years before Wells Fargo contracted
Ithaca to make shotguns.
That particular stamping could have
been added much later to increase the value
and significance of the gun.
Hmm.
This particular gun may not have that association
with Wells Fargo.
Well, great.
There Fargos my profit.
Can you give me a hypothetical figure
of what that would be worth?
Well, we here at the museum, we don't talk monetary value.
But what I can tell you without giving you--
But I used the word hypothetical.
Well, you can use any word you want.
And I'm going to use the words historical and cultural
significance. - Right.
Value.
(WHISPERING) $1,000?
(WHISPERING) Historical and cultural significance.
(WHISPERING) Bull [bleep].
[laughs]
$1,000?
You should have no problem getting rid of the gun.
$4,000?
It's a nice gun.
Nice gun.
Is it $5,000 nice?
It's a nice gun.
Is it $6,000 nice?
Remember, it doesn't say Wells Fargo.
We got a-- - I got you.
$5 grand. Way to go.
Woo! No, I want to thank you a lot.
I think--
I've been doing this for 32 years.
I know how to get answers.
You know, it's not how you skin the rabbit.
I gotcha.
It's if the rabbit grows his hair back.
