Pawn stars Review: August 13, 2012

Today is a 1 new episode of Pawn Stars as the show after Pawn stars is another Las Vegas and spin off, from Danny of Custom Counts.
This week, Rick from the show said that their shop is open to having parties at the Gold and Silver Shop, if the price is right.  So, if you are in Las Vegas and want to have a party, give their shop a call and you may be able to party at the shop, Pawn Stars extra.  Why would you want to have a party there, I have no idea.
The first guy brought in a old telegraph machine from around the World War 2. The guy got it from his grandpa who incorrectly said it was from WWI.  It was a Morse code machine used in wars and railroads.  It was wireless and used by spies in the 1940's  the guy wanted $200 and Rick offered $75 and then $110 and that was the sale price. 
The next guy brought in a Smith and Wesson Series 1Model 1 revolver.  It was designed in 1856 and 250,000 were made.  The gun was small- pocket sized.  The guy wanted $1000 and time for an expert.
Craig, a new expert, came in to check out the gun.  Here is is his web site: http://www.craiggottlieb.com/   He said the gun was refinished in some areas.  He also said the grips were made of ivory.  The gun was worth about $1000 to $1500.  The guy wanted $900 and Rick offered $600 and then $650 and that was the sale price.
Steve McQueen and 1968 GT Mustang In Movie Bullit
Corey and Rick went to check out a 1968 GT Mustang.  It was in bad shape- quite rusted and on the front on blocks.  The inside had a red velvet interior.  The guy wanted $20,000.  Time for Danny, whose new show is next on the History Channel.  Nice plug.
Danny came to the house and looked at the car.  He said the body was solid and the engine was right and it was a nice Mustang GT.  He said the car was worth about $12-15,000 as is.  Rick offered $10,000 and the guy went to $15,000 and /Rick went to $11,000 and then $12,000 and the final selling price was $12,5000.
 The next lady brought in a Phillips Cigar Ad which was about 100 years old..  It was a face of a man, like Winston Churchill with one eye closed and a cigar in his mouth.  The lady wanted $5000 and Corey offered $1000 and $1200.  The lady didn't budge and no sale.
The next lady brought in a Clint Eastwood and the Rawhide pictures with autographs.  The autograph was made out to Mr and Mrs Pickles, a chauffeur on the set.  Rick assumed the autograph.  The lady wanted $500 and Rick offered $50 and then $100.  No sale.
The show ended there and transitioned into the show, Counting Cars, the second spin off of Pawn Stars.
