In season 1 episode 7 of Pawn Stars, titled "Brothels & Busses," the team at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop encounter some interesting items that come through their doors.
One of the more intriguing pieces that they assess is a vintage bus that was used by the Partridge Family, a popular band from the 1970s. The seller is hoping to get a decent amount of money for the vehicle, but the team is cautious about making an offer. Rick, the owner of the shop, brings in an expert on vintage buses to give his opinion and help determine a fair price for the famed Partridge Family bus.
Another item of interest that comes through the door is a collection of photographs and artifacts from brothels in Nevada, dating back to the 1800s. The owner of the items inherited them from her grandfather, who was a miner in the area during the Gold Rush. Rick calls in an expert on brothel history to verify the authenticity of the items and determine their value. With a mix of curiosity and apprehension, the team examines the collection of items that reveals the secrets and history of these establishments.
In addition to these items, the team also deals with a rare 18th-century book about King Edward VII, as well as a unique piece of art, a sculpture of a knight in armor.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the inner workings of the pawnshop, as the team weighs the historical significance and value of each item that comes their way. They haggle with sellers, examine the items, and ultimately make decisions about which items to buy and which to pass on.
Overall, season 1 episode 7 of Pawn Stars offers an entertaining look into the world of pawnshops and the unique items that come through their doors. From vintage buses to brothel artifacts, King Edward VII books to sculptures, this episode has something for everyone.
