I mentioned to my nephew, a Las Vegas resident that I wanted to visit the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, he was dubvious at first. But we all chalked it up to new experiences and off we went.. Non of us had been in a pawn shop before. i did bring a couple of items to try to sell.
First we had to stop in the parking lot and photograph "the Old Man's" 1957 Chevy. We had watched Mike and Frank on "American Pickers" find this vehicle as a commission from "Pawn Star's" Rick. Rick wanted to surprise his dad with a 57 Chevy as a 70th birthday gift. At this point I would like t express my resentment that they call him "the Old Man" when he is only 2-3 years older than us! The Pickers find was in rough shape so the restoration specialists had some work to do.
The pawn shop building is sort of frumpy looking and not all that big. i suspect there must be a huge warehouse area that special buyers are welcomed into. Also it was dirty...on TV it seems to sparkle, must be special effects. There was a very imposing man positioned at the door, just like we see on the TV show. That reminded us we must behave. We took one turn around the display cases. It was very crowded and I skipped over the guns, knives, and men's watches. We were disappointed that the four regulars on the TV show where not around. Thinking about it, that makes sense. They would have to spend all their time doing autographs and posing for pictures. On the back wall was a huge poster of three of them and I posed with that. I was most interested in seeing the paintings, prints, and historical items on display. Recognized several things from shows we had seen. Of course I would have liked to browse the ladies jewelry, but that seemed to be the most popular case and was too crowded.
I took my two items over to the counters where two men appraised, bought or rejected. Both my items where rejected. I had brought a set of collectors spoons from the 1893 Columbia Exposition. If they had been silver instead of silver plate I could have sold them. The other item I took in was a Chimayo table mat. I was told they don't deal with that type art work. Better not ever have an episode featuring either of those items!
Bill and Kevin were ready to leave so I never did get back to the jewelry case. Maybe next time. Close
