Meanwhile, Chumlee and the Old Man look at a vintage soda vending machine from the 1950s. The machine reportedly still works and has all its original components intact. However, Chumlee has doubts about its functionality, and the team must figure out how to test the machine to determine its value.
In the final segment of the episode, a seller brings in an unusual item - a king's scepter from the 1700s.
