Ep 22. Skee-Ball/Antique Fishing Gear

In season 3 episode 22 of Auction Kings, titled "Skee-Ball/Antique Fishing Gear," the Gallery 63 team is back in action with two exciting auctions on the docket. The first item up for bid is a classic American pastime - a vintage Skee-Ball machine. This classic game of skill and chance has been a beloved staple of amusement parks, boardwalks, and arcades for generations, and this particular machine comes with plenty of history and charm.

With its colorful lights and ringing bell, this Skee-Ball machine is sure to draw a crowd of eager bidders. But before it goes up for sale, the Gallery 63 team puts it through its paces to ensure that it's in good working order. They roll a few rounds, testing the accuracy of the ramps and the responsiveness of the scoring mechanism. Once they're satisfied that it's ready for action, the team sets a starting bid and lets the auction begin.

The Skee-Ball machine proves to be a hot commodity, with several bidders vying for their chance to add it to their collection. As the auction heats up, tensions rise and bids soar higher and higher. Will one lucky bidder walk away with the ultimate prize, or will this classic game of skill end up back in storage at Gallery 63?

But the Skee-Ball machine isn't the only highlight of this episode - the Gallery 63 team also has a collection of antique fishing gear up for auction. From classic rods and reels to hand-carved lures and vintage tackle boxes, this collection is a treasure trove for any angler and collector.

The team spends some time examining the fishing gear and assessing its value. They marvel at the intricate details of the hand-crafted lures, and note the names and branding on the vintage rods and reels. They even take some of the gear out for a test run, casting lines into a nearby pond to see how they handle. It's all in a day's work for the expert team at Gallery 63.

As the auction begins, it's clear that the bidders are just as excited about the fishing gear as the Gallery 63 team is. The rods and reels command high bids, with collectors and enthusiasts eager to add them to their collections. But the real excitement comes when a set of hand-carved lures hits the auction block. With their intricate designs and painstaking craftsmanship, these lures are a true work of art. Bidders go wild as the price creeps higher and higher, until finally, a winner emerges.

As the auction winds down, the Gallery 63 team reflects on another successful day of sales. They're thrilled to have found new homes for these treasures, and to have introduced new collectors to the joys of Skee-Ball and antique fishing gear. With their expertise and passion for unique and interesting items, they're ready for whatever the next auction has in store.
