In this episode of Pawn Stars, entitled "Pawn in the USA," the guys take a look at a variety of Americana-themed items that come through the door. The first item up for negotiation is an old school Wham-O Magic Window toy that's been sitting around in a guy's garage for over 30 years. The toy, which uses oil and water to create a soothing moving image, brings back memories for the guys and they're excited to see it. But when it comes time to make a deal, they're not quite on the same page. Will they be able to come to a compromise?
Next up, a seller brings in a unique cigar lighter that's shaped like a cannon. The lighter was made in the 1930s and was used in gentlemen's clubs during the time. It's a fascinating piece of history, but will the guys be able to make a deal? Rick is particularly interested in it, but there are some concerns about how much it's worth and whether or not it's truly a valuable item.
Later in the episode, a man comes in with a collection of autographed Hollywood photos. Among the photos are iconic stars like Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Frank Sinatra. However, the pictures are in varying states of condition, which could affect their value. The guys must determine whether the collection is worth the high price tag that the seller is asking for.
One of the more unique items that comes in is an antique beer stein that has an interesting backstory. The stein was originally owned by a man who was traveling aboard the Titanic when it famously sank in 1912. He managed to escape with the stein, and it's been in his family ever since. The guys are intrigued by the tragic history behind the item, but how much it's worth and how well it will fare at auction is another matter.
Finally, a man brings in a collection of rare presidential campaign buttons from elections throughout U.S. history. The buttons make for a fascinating look back at the political landscape of the country, but the big question is whether they're worth anything. It's a complicated negotiation, as the value of memorabilia hinges on not only its rarity but also on the political climate of the time.
Throughout the episode, the guys provide insights and commentary on the various items that come through their door. They rely on their expertise and knowledge of history to determine whether something is worth making an offer on, which adds to the suspense and excitement of the show. Will they be able to make a deal on these fascinating pieces of Americana, or will the sellers go home empty-handed? Tune in to find out in "Pawn in the USA."
