Ep 13. Revolutionary Rick!

In season 15 episode 13 of Pawn Stars titled "Revolutionary Rick!", the pawn shop welcomes a unique set of items that challenge the team's knowledge and expertise.

The episode kicks off with an interesting item that catches the eye of Rick Harrison, one of the co-owners of the pawn shop. A customer brings in a 1763 copy of the Boston News-Letter, which was one of the first newspapers to be published in the United States. Rick is excited about the item and hopes to add it to his collection of historical artifacts. However, he needs to ensure that the newspaper is authentic and that it was printed in the year it claims. To do this, he calls in a paper expert who can verify its authenticity and value.

Later on, a man enters the pawn shop with an antique exercise bike from the 1900s. Rick is fascinated by the intricate details of the bike and believes that it could be worth a substantial amount of money. However, he wants to make sure that the bike is functional and can determine its value. To help him in this task, he calls in an expert who specializes in antique exercise equipment.

The next item that comes into the shop is a 1924 dodge roadster that looks like it has been through a lot over the years. The owner is hoping to sell it as parts, and Rick is intrigued by the history of the roadster. He wants to learn more about the car's original parts and its value before he decides to take it off the owner's hands.

One of the most exciting items comes in later on when Rick and the team are presented with a signed letter by George Washington. The letter is from 1786, and it's written to a man named Robert Morris, who is known as the "Financier of the Revolution." The letter talks about finances and the payment of debts, and the team is ecstatic to have such an important piece of American history in their shop.

Lastly, a customer brings in a wooden crate from the early 1900s that was used to transport Hopalong Cassidy merchandise. The box itself is intriguing, but what's inside is even more special. The crate contains all sorts of rare and vintage Hopalong Cassidy merchandise, including cap guns, posters, and even a Hopalong Cassidy guitar. The team is in awe of the condition of the items and begins to piece together the history behind them.
