In the eleventh episode of Pawn Stars season 2, entitled "Fortune in Flames," the staff at the World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas encounter a variety of intriguing items brought in for appraisal and possible purchase.
First, a customer brings in an antique fire extinguisher made of brass and copper from the early 1900s. The item's unique design and historical significance make it an interesting acquisition for the shop, but first, the team must determine its authenticity and value.
Next, a seller comes in with a large collection of rare World War II propaganda posters featuring iconic images and slogans that were used to support the war effort. The posters are in remarkably good condition, and their historical significance makes them a potentially valuable addition to the shop's inventory, but the team must first assess their condition and rarity.
In addition, an eccentric customer comes in with a bizarre looking item that he claims was used by legendary comedian Groucho Marx during one of his performances. The item resembles a small rubber ball with a protruding handle on top, and the customer claims it was used by Marx to create his iconic cigar smoke effect. The team is skeptical but intrigued by the item, and they must research its history to determine its legitimacy.
Finally, a customer brings in a valuable collection of antique Tiffany lamps that were passed down from her grandmother. The lamps are in amazing condition, with intricate stained glass designs and decorative elements that make them unique and valuable, but the team must first determine the authenticity of the lamps and their value in the current market.
Throughout the episode, the staff at the World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop utilize their vast knowledge of historical and collectible items to assess the value of each item brought in by their customers. Their keen eye for detail and expertise in a variety of fields allows them to separate valuable antiques from cheap imitations, and they ultimately decide whether to make a purchase or send the customer on their way.
