Dana thought it was real and worth about $3000. Rick offered $2000. The guy wanted $5000 and the counter offer was $2500 and no sale.
The next guy brought in a dynamite blaster from 1860. You cans see these in cartoons and old Western movies. The Old Man offered $125 and that was the selling price.

The next woman up was a Victrola talking machine or Phonograph. from 1913 and they went to the woman's home. The piece didn't have the needle or other parts and really didn't work. The lady wanted $2000 and Rick offered $0, so no sale.
In the second episode, the first guy brought in a John Wilkes Booth wanted poster. The signed showed that Booth had $100,000 on his head for murdering Abraham Lincoln. The guy wanted $33,000 for the poster. Time for an expert, Dana who has to drive from Southern California. Dana brought in a real poster of the Wilke's wanted poster. Dana thought it was an early reproduction, maybe from the late 1800's. There was no deal. Rick then tried to buy the real poster and Dana said that Rick could have it for $180,000 and then $160,000. Rick offered $125,000. Dana went down to $150,000 but no deal.

The next guy brought in a G-suit and helmet from the air force. They were used in jet fighters, possibly from the Gulf War. Time for another expert- Matt, who used to be a student at Top Gun and a Blue Angel pilot. The guy wanted $2000 and Rick offered $500 and then $800 and finally $1000 and that was the deal.
The next guy brought in a Chicago Police officer badge from the 1930's. The guy wanted $300 but time for another expert, Mark and said it is both real and not real.
