Pawn Stars Review: June 1, 2011

Wow, a 30 minute new episode of Pawn Stars on a Wednesday. Almost as rare as tornadoes in Massachusetts, to which our prayers go out to the folks in MA., Nebraska and Kansas who all had tornadoes today.
The second episode is a rerun from Monday, which is previewed lower on this page.
The first guy had a 1800 Gatling gun that is up in Utah. They, Rick and Sean, went to Ashman's Pioneer Market, which is in Fillmore, UT. http://www.pioneermarketguns.com/ they looked at some guns and then saw the Gatling gun, which was invented by a doctor, Dr. Gatling, who thought the gun would end all wars. The gun was great in shape and shines and all the parts were original. The guy wanted $335,000 for the gun. They also went after a Sharps Carbine from the Civil War. Rick offered $200,000 and then $220,000. No deal. For the Sharps Carbine, rick offered $1500 and the guy wanted $2500. After some bargaining, the carbine went for $1900.
At the same time was a Model T taxi from 1915. The car color was gold/wood, which I thought was unusual since I thought most Model T's are black. It was street legal. Time for an expert, Danny owner of Count's Kustoms. The guy wanted $29,900 while Corey offered $20,000 and then $21,000 and that was the selling price.
The next lady brought in a Charley Weaver Bartender toy. It was a toy that made a drink, drink it and it puckered and smoke came out of his ears. the lady wanted $300 and the Old Man offered $75 and then $85 and then $90 and that was the selling price. Charley Weaver was a real person who had a TV show and also appeared in the early Hollywood Squares
That was the show and hope you have a great week.
