I bought this one on a hunch because it kind of looked
like someone left town quickly.
So I'm hoping he may have left some good stuff behind.
It's one thing to buy it, it's another thing
to come back to it and you realize, wow,
there's a lot of stuff here.
Get into it a little bit.
Oh, here we go.
Old Glory.
Oh boy.
A pair of lucite shoes.
They're my size.
Terrific.
We can't fit all of this in the car
and we've got quite a drive back to Los Angeles,
so that might have been an oversight on my part.
So far, I don't even see my initial investment back yet.
I'm not finding anything in here.
Wow.
I remember these as a kid.
My mother used to collect these stamps,
and they'd give them away when you got gasoline or something,
and you'd put them in a book and get a toaster or whatnot.
It's got to be 40 years old.
Even older.
This sign could be interesting.
The rest of this locker and, frankly, the whole week
has just really been a bust.
I'm debating whether to take the disco stripper shoes.
Nah, I think I'll leave them here.
This sign might be my last hope to turn things around.
[music playing]
It's just been a lousy week for me.
So I'm taking this neon sign to get it appraised.
There it is, there it is, there it is.
Hopefully, it's worth something.
My name is Danielle Kelly, I'm the operations manager here
at the Neon Museum Boneyard.
Danielle is the gal that runs the Boneyard,
the Neon Boneyard.
You must be Danielle.
You must be Barry.
I am.
And you're going to love what I brought you.
Yeah?
I can't wait to see it.
So what is this sign you have?
I'm a Capricorn.
I'm a Sagittarius.
Are you?
This should go well.
Well, this is an S&H Green Stamp sign.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I looked at it as a ticket to come see you.
I mean it.
My week might have just gotten a little better.
Well, this is a nice neon sign,
but would you like to see some real neon signs?
Yeah, I would.
Come on, follow me.
This is Las Vegas's art form.
This Moulin Rouge sign, I saw it when it came in,
and it's just great.
The Moulin Rouge was the first integrated
casino resort in Las Vegas.
Really?
It's kind of exciting to see somebody younger
that's actually into this old cool collectible stuff
that I like.
The sign itself was designed by Betty Willis.
And she's a way cool chick, this girl.
I enjoy being enlightened, no pun intended.
[laughs]
This is great, just terrific.
What I love about this cactus is
this is all galvanized steel.
This kind of covers where neon used to sit on the side.
One of the guys on the crew said those are peepholes.
[record scratching]
No, moving on.
I enjoy making new friends and I made one when I met Danielle.
I want to thank you so much for the time
and for showing us around, but I got to ask you,
and I'm a little bit embarrassed,
what do you think of the one I brought?
Don't look at me like that.
Well, Barry--
[clock ticking]
Do you think I'm upside down on this deal or what?
Since this is probably one of the prized pieces from it.
I think-- I think you're upside down,
Barry, on this particular deal.
This week, I didn't find the ultimate collectible.
You love it.
You should take it back.
No, honey, I donated this to the Neon Museum.
No, really.
But I think I might have found something a little better.
No, Danielle was really-- she was--
there's no way to explain this without sounding pervy.
Good luck.
