In Pawn Stars season 2 episode 6, titled Tattoos and Tantrums, the show features a range of fascinating items brought in by customers looking to sell their wares. As always, the cast of the show led by Rick Harrison, his son Corey, and Austin "Chumlee" Russell put each item to the test to determine their worth.
One fascinating item that appears in this episode is a rare 1920s beaded flapper dress, adorned with intricate beading, sequins, and tassels. The seller claims that the dress has been passed down in her family for generations and is in excellent condition, with all the beads and sequins still intact. Rick and his team immediately start inspecting the dress, and expert appraisers determine that the item is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Another interesting item featured in Tattoos and Tantrums is an antique slot machine from the early 1900s. The machine is well-preserved, with its original paint and fully functional mechanisms. However, the team at the pawn shop quickly discovers that the machine is illegal to own and operate in Las Vegas, where the show is based. Despite its worth, they have to turn the offer down as it's not a legitimate item to buy or sell.
The episode also features the shop's first purchase, a set of antique circus souvenir plates that depicts different attractions from P.T. Barnum's circus in the early 1900s. The seller insists that the plates are authentic, but Rick and his team exhibit a thoughtful and detailed inspection process to determine their value. Ultimately they are interested in buying the plates and make an offer, but the seller isn't willing to part with them for the price they offer.
The final item in this episode is an antique cannon ball, which Corey spots at a garage sale and buys for a few bucks. Though the item is intriguing, nobody at the shop knows much about it beyond its possible military use. To determine the cannon's background and value, they call in an expert. During this appraisal, the expert explains possible reasons for the cannon to be valuable or not, which leaves Rick and the team discussing what they should do with the item - a captivating closing scene to an exciting episode.
Throughout Tattoos and Tantrums, Rick and his team display their expertise and keen ability to identify valuable items. Through the course of this episode, they haggle with sellers, meticulously authenticate pieces, and determine the worth of each item. Viewers are sure to enjoy this action-packed episode that is packed with interesting and exciting ideations that add to the suspense of pawn shop purchases.
