Ep 6. Up Up And Away!

In season 14 episode 6 of Pawn Stars, titled "Up Up And Away!", the team at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop takes a look at a variety of unique and eclectic objects from customers who hope to strike it rich. The episode kicks off with Rick Harrison and his father, Richard, examining a rare, 1940s-era Indian motorcycle. The bike has been fully restored and the owner is hoping to get top-dollar for this classic vintage ride.

Next up, a customer brings in an impressive set of antique Chinese plates and bowls. The collection features intricate designs and patterns that suggest they may be from the Ming Dynasty, which is considered a holy grail for collectors. The customer is looking to sell the entire set as a single unit, but the Harrisons must first determine whether the unique pieces are authentic or just clever forgeries.

The third item to come through the doors is an obscure piece of American history - a signed copy of a book written by aviator Howard Hughes. The owner believes that the book was previously owned by her grandfather, who was an aviation enthusiast and may have crossed paths with Hughes at some point. The Harrisons need to authenticate the signature before making an offer on this rare piece of Americana.

The fourth item to be considered is a pair of autographed sneakers worn by NBA great Shaquille O'Neal during one of his standout seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. The shoes were a gift to the owner from a friend who worked in the Lakers' marketing department, and they were worn in a key game against their cross-town rivals, the Clippers. The Harrisons must determine the value of these one-of-a-kind kicks, which is sure to be influenced by O'Neal's Hall of Fame status.

Finally, a customer comes in with what could be the ultimate collector's item: an original landing gear strut from a SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. The SR-71 is the fastest manned aircraft in history, and the landing gear strut is an incredibly rare piece of military history. The owner is a former Air Force mechanic who obtained the strut when the plane was decommissioned, and he's looking for a fair valuation on his unique piece of memorabilia.

Throughout the episode, the Harrisons offer their expertise and opinions on the items presented to them, weighing the potential value against the authenticity of each item. With each appraisal, there's a chance for the customer to walk away with big money or to leave the shop empty-handed. Viewers will be kept on the edge of their seat as they discover how each customer fares in their quest to pawn or sell their unique items.
