1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:02,534
Sign that I'm having painted

2
00:00:02,736 --> 00:00:03,402
On columbia
motor alley.

3
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:04,669
Robbie: Yeah?

4
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:06,071
Mike: I mean,
it's nuts, dude.

5
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:08,740
What I did was, I got
this photo for inspiration.

6
00:00:08,809 --> 00:00:10,809
It was a columbia
motor company,

7
00:00:10,878 --> 00:00:11,943
A shop that used to
be in columbia.

8
00:00:12,013 --> 00:00:16,081
So I'm using the font and
I'm using the same size.

9
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:18,350
So I got these 2 girls, it's
called "I saw the sign,"

10
00:00:18,419 --> 00:00:19,952
From nashville.

11
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:22,487
They're painting this
thing on the building.

12
00:00:22,556 --> 00:00:23,488
Like this is
no small-

13
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:24,222
Robbie:
Right now?

14
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:24,689
Mike: Like hand
-painting it.

15
00:00:24,758 --> 00:00:25,957
Robbie: What!

16
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:26,825
Mike: So- you know what,
let me just facetime them,

17
00:00:26,894 --> 00:00:28,159
I want to see what's
going on anyway.

18
00:00:29,096 --> 00:00:30,996
You're going to freak out
when you see this, man!

19
00:00:32,433 --> 00:00:34,299
[facetime ringing]

20
00:00:34,502 --> 00:00:35,233
Mike: Mefford!

21
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:36,635
Mefford: Hey mike!
What do you think?

22
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,370
Mike: It's
unbelievable!

23
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:39,705
Meg: Mike, hello!

24
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:41,707
He wasn't supposed
to see it.

25
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:42,774
Robbie: That
thing's insane!

26
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,643
Mike: I absolutely
love the font!

27
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:46,444
Meg: Dude,
it's so sick.

28
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,579
I'm really stoked.

29
00:00:47,648 --> 00:00:49,515
Mike: So is the off-white,
what we were talking about?

30
00:00:49,717 --> 00:00:50,649
Meg: Yeah.
Do you like?

31
00:00:50,718 --> 00:00:52,384
Mike: Are you
kidding me? Yes!

32
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:53,585
Meg: Told ya.

33
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:54,653
Mefford: Yeah, these girls have
been out here since the

34
00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:59,792
Crack of dawn for the last 2
days, braving the cold.

35
00:00:59,994 --> 00:01:01,926
I can't believe how
quickly they worked.

36
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:02,928
Mefford: And you know
what, look at these cute

37
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,596
Little uniforms they
wear, check that out.

38
00:01:04,665 --> 00:01:05,597
Robbie: [laughs]
mike: Woo!

39
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:07,799
Mefford: Is
that incredible?

40
00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:10,202
Mike: You guys
are nailing it! [laughs]

41
00:01:10,404 --> 00:01:11,203
Meg: Ahh!

42
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:12,404
Mike: Keep me posted,
I'm so excited, man!

43
00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:13,404
Mefford: Okay.

44
00:01:13,474 --> 00:01:14,406
Meg: Bye, mike!

45
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:15,007
Mefford: Bye.

46
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:25,951
♪♪

47
00:01:26,153 --> 00:01:27,952
Mike: Okay, so tell me
about this brian guy again.

48
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:29,821
Robbie: Brian and I have
been friends for years.

49
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:31,823
And he was the guy
at hershey that was

50
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:33,958
Always buying the
big stuff, literally.

51
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:35,894
He had a truck with a
swing-away crane on it,

52
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:37,296
You know, you pick it
up, put it on the truck.

53
00:01:37,498 --> 00:01:38,497
Mike: He did?

54
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:39,430
Robbie:
Yeah. It was-

55
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:40,699
Mike: That's cool.

56
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:41,500
I'd love to have a
truck like that.

57
00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:42,968
Robbie:
Take a left.

58
00:01:43,036 --> 00:01:45,904
You know, I got a phone
call from his wife,

59
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:47,839
Jill, and I had just
seen him at hershey,

60
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:49,975
And she said hey,
brian's in the hospital,

61
00:01:50,177 --> 00:01:51,777
And I was like, wow, I
mean, what's wrong with him?

62
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:53,846
She's like, they
really don't know.

63
00:01:54,048 --> 00:01:55,914
I called her back a
couple of days later,

64
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:57,850
And she said that, uh
she thought he was

65
00:01:58,052 --> 00:01:59,918
Going to be coming home,
he was getting better.

66
00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:02,454
And the next day she
goes to the hospital,

67
00:02:02,523 --> 00:02:04,723
And he
passed away.

68
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:06,057
Mike: God, are you
kidding me?

69
00:02:06,127 --> 00:02:08,260
Robbie: So, it's been 2
years since brian passed away.

70
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:09,794
Mike: Okay.

71
00:02:09,864 --> 00:02:10,729
Robbie: So jill has
been dabbling with

72
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,064
Selling things
here and there.

73
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,065
And she might be selling the
property off and there's

74
00:02:14,135 --> 00:02:17,002
No way in heck she could take
this collection with her.

75
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,870
Mike: So she doesn't
collect any of this stuff?

76
00:02:18,939 --> 00:02:21,072
Robbie: No, she's not
really a collector.

77
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:23,808
She's got pieces that she's
set back that are hers.

78
00:02:23,878 --> 00:02:25,477
She's pretty excited
about getting some

79
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:26,745
Of the stuff out there.

80
00:02:26,814 --> 00:02:27,478
Mike: I'm glad
she's at that point,

81
00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:29,014
That's really cool.

82
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:30,282
Robbie: It's right up here.
This is the back way.

83
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:32,751
Mike: Dang.

84
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:33,819
Okay, I see what
you're talking about.

85
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:35,687
I like that bear,
that's really cool.

86
00:02:35,755 --> 00:02:37,689
I need some
weird lawn art.

87
00:02:37,757 --> 00:02:39,358
Oh yeah, I see
the gulf sign!

88
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,892
Robbie: Yeah, see?

89
00:02:40,961 --> 00:02:42,027
I mean, it's just a
bunch of scrap iron.

90
00:02:42,563 --> 00:02:43,362
Mike: [laughs]
yeah!

91
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:45,697
Look at that bell.

92
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:47,232
Look at the size
of that bell.

93
00:02:47,434 --> 00:02:48,634
Which way?

94
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:49,768
Robbie: Here, it's right around
the corner, the machine shop.

95
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:54,839
Mike: What! This
place is nuts. Alright.

96
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:55,574
Robbie: I'm going
hit jill with a flyer,

97
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:56,008
She'll think
it's funny.

98
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,578
Robbie: Jill.
What's up?

99
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:00,311
Jill: Hey rob,
what's up!

100
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:01,513
Mike: Hey.

101
00:03:01,715 --> 00:03:02,981
Robbie: Good
to see ya.

102
00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:03,382
Jill: Yeah, it's nice-
robbie: How're you doing?

103
00:03:03,584 --> 00:03:04,783
Jill: I'm good.

104
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:05,584
Robbie: Good to see
ya, you look good.

105
00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:06,918
Mike: Hey, I'm mike.
Jill: Hi

106
00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:07,385
Mike: Nice to meet you,
I heard a lot about you.

107
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:08,920
Jill: Oh geez...

108
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:09,787
Robbie: I'm going to
hit you with a flyer.

109
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,789
I told my brother
you had a few neons.

110
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,258
Mike: Look at
that, railroad stuff.

111
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:14,726
Jill: Right.

112
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:15,793
Mike: [laughs]
robbie: Cast iron.

113
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:16,327
Jill: I got a little
bit of that here.

114
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:16,995
Mike: Yeah?

115
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:17,396
Robbie: Just a
couple things?

116
00:03:17,598 --> 00:03:18,797
Jill: Yeah.

117
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:19,598
Mike: What do you
got going on here,

118
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:20,199
You got any
heat in here?

119
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:20,999
Jill: No.
Mike: [laughs]

120
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:22,267
Robbie:
It's not that cold out.

121
00:03:22,336 --> 00:03:24,803
Mike: Wow, I think this is the
biggest vise I've ever seen.

122
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:27,339
You could clamp a
railroad tie in there.

123
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:28,273
Jill: You could.

124
00:03:28,342 --> 00:03:29,341
Mike: Wow.

125
00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:30,542
Robbie: What are you
doing, cleaning stuff up?

126
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:31,542
Jill: Cleaning
stuff up.

127
00:03:31,612 --> 00:03:32,944
Robbie: Still? It's a
new adventure here.

128
00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:34,012
Jill: Every day, yes.
Finding new things.

129
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,481
Robbie: I met brian 5
years ago at a swap meet.

130
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,550
He was always
smiling.

131
00:03:38,619 --> 00:03:40,084
And he was
always buying.

132
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:43,622
He's got more stuff here
than I've ever seen in my life.

133
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:44,556
Mike: I never
met brian,

134
00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:45,890
Because I haven't been to
hershey in a while.

135
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,958
He told he met brian at
hershey and he said

136
00:03:47,027 --> 00:03:49,361
That he had a truck there
with a crane on it?

137
00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:50,562
Jill: Yeah.

138
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:51,296
Mike: So he was prepared for
the big stuff all the time.

139
00:03:51,498 --> 00:03:52,564
Jill: He was.

140
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:53,965
Mike: I could see that,
'cause when I rolled in here,

141
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:55,833
I was like... Wow, this
guy does like big stuff.

142
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:57,369
Jill: He does. Anything
big and heavy.

143
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:57,903
Mike: Yeah.

144
00:03:57,971 --> 00:03:58,770
Jill: That was him.

145
00:03:58,839 --> 00:04:00,038
Robbie: So, what'd
you find today?

146
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:00,972
Jill: Oh my god, trying to
figure out what he was

147
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:03,108
Going to do with some of
the stuff back there.

148
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:05,644
Jill: Brian passed away
about a year and a half ago.

149
00:04:05,713 --> 00:04:07,779
It was a shock
to everybody.

150
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:10,315
Jill: My husband
was a huge collector.

151
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:14,719
Railroad was his passion, and I
have been trying to go through,

152
00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:17,722
Sort out, figure out
the right way to

153
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,191
Start liquidating
his collection.

154
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:21,860
Jill: He's got a
bell cradle back there,

155
00:04:22,062 --> 00:04:23,128
And I don't know what he
was going to do with it.

156
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:26,531
Robbie: I noticed there's a
gigantic bell in the back,

157
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:27,866
Where did that
come from?

158
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:29,668
'cause it wasn't here
last time I was here.

159
00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:30,869
Jill: One of
brian's picks.

160
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:32,271
Mike: Is that something like,
he actually would have put up?

161
00:04:32,473 --> 00:04:33,938
Jill: Yeah.

162
00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:35,674
Just like all the ones
along the driveway there.

163
00:04:35,743 --> 00:04:37,475
Mike: Oh yeah,
okay yeah, wow.

164
00:04:37,544 --> 00:04:38,476
Jill: They all ring.

165
00:04:38,545 --> 00:04:39,344
Mike: Do they really?

166
00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:40,545
Jill: Yeah.

167
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:41,946
Mike: So would he ever freak you
out like come out there early

168
00:04:42,016 --> 00:04:42,413
In the morning and nail
some of that stuff down?

169
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:44,148
Jill: No. No.

170
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:45,883
Well the neighbors always say,
if there's no noise coming

171
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,352
From back here, brian
must have been gone.

172
00:04:47,421 --> 00:04:48,754
[group laughing]

173
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:50,154
Jill: Brian was
very hardworking.

174
00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:52,891
He never took a day off, and
if it he wasn't at a job site,

175
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:54,893
He was out in the
barn, working, repairing,

176
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:58,096
Putting things together,
putting things up.

177
00:04:58,164 --> 00:05:00,498
Jill: This was a car maintenance
shop for the railroad.

178
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:01,366
So you can see
where-

179
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:03,034
Robbie: Yeah.

180
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:03,435
Mike: Oh I can see where
all the beam are older, yeah.

181
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:04,836
Jill: Right.

182
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:05,570
'cause we labeled them
so we knew how to

183
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:06,905
Put them back up again.

184
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:08,840
Mike: What possessed
you guys to do that?

185
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:10,042
Jill: Well we're in
the demolition business.

186
00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:14,646
We owned a demolition and
salvage business for 33 years.

187
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:16,047
Mike: You didn't
tell me that.

188
00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:17,048
Robbie: Yeah, that's where
all this stuff came from.

189
00:05:17,117 --> 00:05:18,383
Mike: Did he tell you
our grandfather did that?

190
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:18,783
Robbie: Yeah.

191
00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:19,250
Mike: In chicago.

192
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:19,651
Jill: No.

193
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:20,919
Mike: Yeah, yeah.

194
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:21,386
Robbie: Nowhere
near what this is, I mean-

195
00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:22,787
Mike:
No, no we-

196
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:23,789
Jill: Yeah. I mean, this
was a corn field.

197
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:25,656
We built this out of
all used materials,

198
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:26,724
From building
we tore down.

199
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,192
Mike: From-
robbie: Every piece.

200
00:05:28,261 --> 00:05:29,995
Mike: So you got, most of the
work you guys were doing that

201
00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:31,863
Was like big commercial
work you were taking on.

202
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:33,664
Jill: Correct. I ran
the cutting torch.

203
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:34,265
Mike: You were
doing it too?

204
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:35,933
Jill: Yes.

205
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:38,737
Mike: This guy was in
the business of moving

206
00:05:38,939 --> 00:05:43,141
And dismantling
massive properties.

207
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:44,342
Jill: Let me show
you some things.

208
00:05:44,411 --> 00:05:45,810
Mike: Okay.

209
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:46,878
Jill: I got a few
things outside here.

210
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,946
Mike: I want to see- I
want to see that bell.

211
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:48,947
So where did this bell
come out of, philadelphia?

212
00:05:49,016 --> 00:05:50,615
Jill: I honestly, I
honestly do not know.

213
00:05:50,818 --> 00:05:52,017
Robbie: What's
it say on it?

214
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:56,354
"james mccullough jr.
Hardware, kittanning, pa."

215
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:58,890
Mike: Uurrghh...

216
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:00,692
Robbie: Damn, looks like
a freakin' anchor hanging

217
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,293
Out the bottom
of this thing.

218
00:06:01,495 --> 00:06:02,961
Jill: [laughing]

219
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,562
Mike: I can see that
brian was not afraid to

220
00:06:04,631 --> 00:06:05,764
Buy the big
stuff, man.

221
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:06,965
Robbie: Yeah,
this thing's cool.

222
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:08,900
Jill: He drove all the
way out to california.

223
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,569
Robbie: To get this.
Everybody wants a train.

224
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:12,036
It's an old milk truck.

225
00:06:12,106 --> 00:06:14,372
Jill: He's going to buy that
thing from me, you watch.

226
00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:15,974
Robbie: Yeah.

227
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:16,708
Mike: Jill, I'm definitely
not going to buy thing.

228
00:06:16,777 --> 00:06:17,642
[laughing]
jill: Aww please!

229
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:18,910
Mike: What does
this spell?

230
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:20,846
Jill: I don't know
what all the letters say.

231
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:21,513
Robbie: Yeah,
they're all porcelain,

232
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:22,447
They got
sockets in them.

233
00:06:22,516 --> 00:06:26,918
So it's white porcelain
with cobalt blue.

234
00:06:26,987 --> 00:06:28,386
Jill: I don't even know
when those got here.

235
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:30,589
I have no clue!

236
00:06:30,657 --> 00:06:31,656
They were
just up there.

237
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:32,257
Mike: They're
made really well.

238
00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:33,724
Robbie: Huh.

239
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:34,792
Mike: There's a
lot of s's. Yeah.

240
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:36,928
Jill: A lot of s's.
Mike: There is.

241
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:38,663
Robbie: Back in the day,
porcelain letters were

242
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:40,599
Made to go on
any building.

243
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:41,800
Spell out
what you want.

244
00:06:41,869 --> 00:06:43,535
The great thing
about these letters are,

245
00:06:43,603 --> 00:06:45,136
That they
all match.

246
00:06:45,205 --> 00:06:47,606
The bad thing about them is,
they don't spell anything.

247
00:06:47,808 --> 00:06:49,741
Jill: You
interested in that?

248
00:06:49,943 --> 00:06:51,476
Robbie: Not just
one, the whole pallet.

249
00:06:51,678 --> 00:06:51,943
Jill: The whole pallet?

250
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:53,077
Robbie: Yeah.

251
00:06:53,146 --> 00:06:54,880
It'd only be worth it if
you bought the whole pallet.

252
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:55,747
Jill: I don't know...
Make me an offer.

253
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:56,548
Robbie: Just think,
that's a gigantic

254
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:57,682
Headache out
of your way.

255
00:06:57,751 --> 00:07:01,419
Jill: [sighs]
make me an offer.

256
00:07:01,488 --> 00:07:03,989
Robbie: 6... 650.

257
00:07:07,494 --> 00:07:08,994
Jill: Could you do 8?

258
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:12,897
Mike: You want me to try to
count how many there are?

259
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:14,433
Jill: How many, how
many are up there?

260
00:07:14,635 --> 00:07:15,100
Robbie: I don't know.

261
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:16,101
Mike: I mean,
right now,

262
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:18,703
From what I can see
on top, there's...

263
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:22,641
There's 1, 2...
3, 4, 5, 6...

264
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:26,011
7, 8, 9
letters on top.

265
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,513
Robbie: 700.

266
00:07:28,581 --> 00:07:29,380
Jill: I can do that.

267
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:31,516
Robbie: Alright.

268
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:32,250
Mike: Alright,
awesome.

269
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:33,318
Robbie: Look
at that. Thank ya.

270
00:07:33,387 --> 00:07:34,386
Jill: Thank you.

271
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,119
Robbie: They're not
just porcelain letters,

272
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:36,854
They're porcelain
neon letters.

273
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:38,723
I'm going to sell them
off to people that

274
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,392
Are looking for
decorator pieces.

275
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,259
Jill: [laughing]

276
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:41,993
Mike: Do you guys ever
use this bulldozer?

277
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:42,928
Jill: Yeah.
Mike: Really.

278
00:07:42,996 --> 00:07:44,262
Jill: I mean,
that's a lot of money.

279
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:48,666
It's a 93b cat loader, with a
demolition 4-in-1 bucket on it.

280
00:07:48,735 --> 00:07:50,001
Oh my god, did
he love wrecking.

281
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:11,822
Jill: He'd tear down those
buildings and he was like

282
00:08:11,892 --> 00:08:14,025
That little kid with his
building blocks

283
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:18,629
And he'd knock it over and he
would laugh and laugh.

284
00:08:18,698 --> 00:08:19,564
"did you get
that picture?"

285
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:21,566
"yeah, I got it."
[chuckles]

286
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:22,567
Brian:
Did you get it?

287
00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:23,768
<i> Off-camera: That's</i>
<i> the man right there.</i>

288
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:25,103
<i> Man in charge,</i>
<i> brian maiher.</i>

289
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:29,307
Jill: You can get up there. It
runs nice when it runs.

290
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,242
Mike: Oh yeah...

291
00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:34,445
I can't even imagine running
something like this. [chuckles]

292
00:08:34,515 --> 00:08:35,380
Jill: Yeah. [laughs]

293
00:08:35,448 --> 00:08:36,113
Mike: Seriously,
this thing's massive.

294
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:36,781
Jill: This is
massive, it is.

295
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:37,649
Mike: It's
massive, man.

296
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:38,583
Robbie: Is
this for sale?

297
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:38,917
Jill: I don't
think so.

298
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:39,985
Robbie: Yeah?

299
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:40,985
Jill: This is our cheapest
piece of equipment we

300
00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:42,654
Ever bought and it made
us a lot of money.

301
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,789
I don't care if
this never sells,

302
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:46,991
This can stay on my
property forever.

303
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:49,994
Robbie: Jill was so much
more than just brian's wife.

304
00:08:50,063 --> 00:08:51,462
She was the person that
went to work side by side

305
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:52,930
With him
every day.

306
00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:55,266
She helped him build
the demolition company.

307
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:58,135
She was knocking buildings down
right there along next to brian.

308
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,337
Mike: Robbie, just think how
much we would have made with

309
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:01,406
This thing if we were plowing
snow with this at walmart.

310
00:09:01,474 --> 00:09:03,141
Jill: [laughs]

311
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:06,144
Jill: Start that engine up
and I literally get goosebumps,

312
00:09:06,346 --> 00:09:09,414
'cause it doesn't sound like any
other diesel engine out there.

313
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:10,081
Mike: Alright.

314
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:11,816
Jill: It is
freakin' awesome.

315
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,884
Jill: So this was
our equipment barn,

316
00:09:13,954 --> 00:09:14,886
It had a dirt floor
in it and everything.

317
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:17,355
And then brian kind of
started filling it up.

318
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:18,423
Robbie: Yeah.

319
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:19,958
Mike: Man... [laughs]

320
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:20,892
Robbie: What'd it say-
what- what'd you say,

321
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,627
Brian took like 7 years
and filled this up?

322
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:24,896
Jill: Nope,
less than...

323
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:25,496
Robbie: There's a
cool bulldozer in here,

324
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:26,430
You can check it out.

325
00:09:26,499 --> 00:09:27,432
Jill: Less than 7.

326
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:28,499
Robbie: [giggles]

327
00:09:28,569 --> 00:09:32,003
Mike: Gosh...
What!

328
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:37,008
Mike & robbbie:
Whoa!

329
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:40,711
Robbie: Less
than 7 years.

330
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,513
Mike: Oh my gosh,
look at that!

331
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:44,315
Robbie: Rotating
pegasus.

332
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:45,650
Mike: Wow...

333
00:09:45,852 --> 00:09:47,519
Mike: I've never
seen so much neon,

334
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:50,254
Rare neon,
in one space.

335
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:51,990
Robbie: Grand
daddy of them all.

336
00:09:52,059 --> 00:09:53,658
Mike: And these are things
that you see every once

337
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,926
In a while, hard
to find stuff.

338
00:09:55,996 --> 00:09:59,330
But to see all of it
collected under one roof,

339
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:03,001
Such high-test
stuff, is unbelievable.

340
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:04,135
Mike: Man...

341
00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:05,003
I love hearing
that neon buzz.

342
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:16,881
♪♪

343
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:17,882
Mike: I can't believe
how much neon's in

344
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:18,683
This room and gas
pumps and everything.

345
00:10:18,752 --> 00:10:19,817
Robbie: And it's-
it's not even on.

346
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:20,885
Mike: I mean, the
roman column right here?

347
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:22,087
And then you've got
the double-headed wayne.

348
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,355
I can't believe you never told
me about this place, robbie.

349
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:25,757
Robbie: Dude.

350
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:26,891
Do you tell me
about every place?

351
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:28,493
Robbie: I didn't tell my
brother about this place,

352
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:29,694
Because he
never asked.

353
00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:31,362
Mike: I mean, this
is a life's work.

354
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:32,630
Jill: It is.

355
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:34,966
Mike: I mean,
I- I... Wow.

356
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,567
Robbie: Mike, you're
only in the first corner.

357
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:37,702
Mike: I'm-
look at this!

358
00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:38,903
Jill: You're a
third of the way.

359
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:39,304
Robbie: Yeah, you're a
third of the way in.

360
00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:41,639
Mike: Ohh man...

361
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:43,041
Robbie: [laughs]
mike: Wow.

362
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:45,643
Mike: The way he had everything
displayed was brilliant.

363
00:10:45,712 --> 00:10:48,245
Because you could
see it, man.

364
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:50,915
A double-sided sign, he's got it
where you could see both sides.

365
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,918
The gas pumps, there's
space far enough to

366
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,654
Where you could literally
walk around each pump.

367
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:57,522
Mike: So when
you guys met,

368
00:10:57,591 --> 00:10:58,857
Did he have a huge
collection already?

369
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:00,858
Jill: He collected
railroad. And that-

370
00:11:00,927 --> 00:11:02,861
Mike: That was it.
Jill: -And that was it.

371
00:11:02,929 --> 00:11:03,795
Mike: And how much
of that did he have?

372
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:04,863
Jill: There was a lot.
Mike: Okay.

373
00:11:04,931 --> 00:11:06,731
Jill: You haven't
seen any of that yet.

374
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,733
And then he went
into the fire alarm,

375
00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:11,803
And into the gas
pumps and neon signs

376
00:11:11,872 --> 00:11:13,805
Mike: Dang... Beautiful
counters, man.

377
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:16,408
These double cathedral
cases are really,

378
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:17,942
Really hard to find.

379
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:19,877
And this one's got flat
glass, which is cool.

380
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:21,613
It's got these iron
shelving brackets so

381
00:11:21,815 --> 00:11:22,747
You can put glass
there, yeah.

382
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:23,815
Jill: The glass
is down in here.

383
00:11:23,884 --> 00:11:24,682
Mike: There's another
piece of glass.

384
00:11:24,751 --> 00:11:25,550
Robbie: There's
the shelves.

385
00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:26,151
Mike: Oh yeah,
there's the shelves.

386
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:27,151
Jill: There's
the shelves.

387
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:28,219
Mike: This is made in
st. Louis, missouri.

388
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:30,955
Mike: If you look
at it, double... Cathedral.

389
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:33,691
Imagine back in the day,
you're walking into a store

390
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760
And that is gracing
the counter.

391
00:11:35,962 --> 00:11:37,829
And remember, the
nickel-plating on this

392
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:40,030
Thing was incredibly
bright back then.

393
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,500
And the beauty of anything
that went into this case,

394
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:43,768
Had to be
so special.

395
00:11:43,837 --> 00:11:46,971
That's why cases
like this were made.

396
00:11:47,174 --> 00:11:49,040
If they could grab you and
keep your attention for

397
00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:51,776
More than just a moment,
whatever was in this case,

398
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:53,978
Chances are you
were going to buy it.

399
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:54,779
Mike: I mean, it needs
a little bit of work,

400
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:56,981
You know but,
nothing too crazy.

401
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:59,450
I'd be interested in it
for like 2,000 bucks.

402
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,986
What are you thinking?

403
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:02,987
Jill: 3 grand.

404
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:05,923
Mike: I don't think
you're out of line on it.

405
00:12:05,992 --> 00:12:07,592
I've just got another
one I've had for sale

406
00:12:07,661 --> 00:12:09,994
For quite a
while. 2,500.

407
00:12:12,332 --> 00:12:13,264
Jill: Sure.

408
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:14,799
Mike: You want to do it?
Jill: Yep. It's a deal.

409
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:15,466
Mike: Alright, thank you.
Jill: Thank you.

410
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:16,600
Mike: Alright, robbie!

411
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:18,536
Jill: Get this out of here!

412
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:20,138
Mike & jill:
[laughs]

413
00:12:20,206 --> 00:12:23,074
Jill: I walk around here a
lot, looking at everything.

414
00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:26,610
And I'm like, what am I
going to do with all this?

415
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,078
Who is going
to want it?

416
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:32,950
And then mike and robbie
show up and they love it. Crazy.

417
00:12:33,019 --> 00:12:34,351
Mike: Ahh... Look at that,
robbie. You see that.

418
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:35,620
Robbie: Yeah.

419
00:12:35,689 --> 00:12:37,355
Mike: Got your
name on it, son.

420
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:38,022
Robbie: I know.

421
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:38,889
Jill: Are you interested?

422
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:40,558
Robbie: I had a chance
to buy one like

423
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:42,893
This about 8
months ago.

424
00:12:42,962 --> 00:12:44,295
Screwed up, the guy
gave me a price on it,

425
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:47,498
And I was like, [snaps fingers]
that split second that I had to

426
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:48,833
Think, and it was gone.

427
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:49,834
Mike: Does that
work? Look like the-

428
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:51,702
Robbie: No, the neon's broke.
Mike: Is it?

429
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:52,570
Robbie: Up at the
top right there.

430
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:53,304
But that's no big deal.

431
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:54,905
Mike: Oh yeah.

432
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:56,040
Robbie: Look at that
green neon around it.

433
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:58,843
Robbie: To find any wolf's
head oil original clocks

434
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,246
With the original
patina, impossible.

435
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:04,715
This has one tube that's broke,
it's a neon tube. Easy fix.

436
00:13:04,785 --> 00:13:09,988
Robbie: 1,500.
Jill: How about 2?

437
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:14,993
Robbie: 16.

438
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:20,331
Jill: [sighs] can you
come up a little bit?

439
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,866
Mike: [laughs]

440
00:13:21,935 --> 00:13:23,000
Robbie: Man, you're
giving me that look,

441
00:13:23,069 --> 00:13:24,468
You're giving me that look,
jill, I just love it.

442
00:13:24,538 --> 00:13:26,804
Jill: Just a little bit.

443
00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:27,538
Robbie: Okay, listen,
I'll split-split

444
00:13:27,607 --> 00:13:29,607
The difference
with you.

445
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:30,741
Mike: What's
the difference?

446
00:13:30,811 --> 00:13:31,943
Jill: Yeah,
what's the difference?

447
00:13:32,012 --> 00:13:36,947
Robbie: 6- 1,650? You're at...
Jill: I was at 2.

448
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:39,284
Robbie: 2. Okay, where
do you want to be at?

449
00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:40,985
Jill: 17.

450
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:44,355
Robbie: Okay. Deal.
Jill: Thank you.

451
00:13:44,424 --> 00:13:45,156
Robbie: Thanks.

452
00:13:45,224 --> 00:13:45,957
Mike: Alright.
Robbie: Alright.

453
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,158
Jill: Finally, god,
that was awful...

454
00:13:47,226 --> 00:13:50,294
Robbie: So here, while
we're standing here though...

455
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:51,629
Jill: Yes?

456
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:53,364
Robbie: Is it
for sale today?

457
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:54,431
Jill: For you?

458
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:55,700
Robbie: Well yeah.

459
00:13:55,769 --> 00:13:56,567
Jill: I'd have to
think about that.

460
00:13:56,636 --> 00:13:59,037
Robbie: What!?
Holy cow!

461
00:13:59,105 --> 00:14:00,571
Jill: I've been waiting
for you ask about this.

462
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,240
Mike: It's beautiful, man.

463
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:04,842
Robbie: This internationals sign
is probably from the early '30s.

464
00:14:04,911 --> 00:14:06,110
Back in the day,
international harvester

465
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:08,913
Was one of the big 3 when it
came to farm machinery.

466
00:14:08,982 --> 00:14:11,248
The difference is,
international made trucks.

467
00:14:11,918 --> 00:14:12,449
Robbie: This actually
lights up inside.

468
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:13,785
Mike: Does it work?

469
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:14,652
Robbie: I don't
know, there's a cord...

470
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,654
I mean, this thing's heavy, man.

471
00:14:16,722 --> 00:14:17,855
There's the cord right here...

472
00:14:17,924 --> 00:14:18,189
Mike: Let's see how-
robbie: No heck...

473
00:14:18,391 --> 00:14:19,256
Jill: No.

474
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:20,391
Robbie: ...We ain't
plugging that thing in.

475
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:21,192
Mike: [laughs]

476
00:14:21,261 --> 00:14:21,659
Robbie: Look at the
wiring on that.

477
00:14:21,728 --> 00:14:22,793
Jill: [laughs]

478
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:23,928
Robbie: That looks like a
brian wiring job right there.

479
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:25,863
Robbie: This thing has
reverse-painted glass.

480
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:29,600
Behind the glass is
another layer of glass

481
00:14:29,669 --> 00:14:31,669
To give it a
ripple effect.

482
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:32,937
I've seen signs
like this before,

483
00:14:33,006 --> 00:14:34,806
They're lit with a neon
tube on the back side.

484
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,674
The condition on
this sign is crazy,

485
00:14:36,742 --> 00:14:38,943
It's almost
90 years old.

486
00:14:39,011 --> 00:14:41,679
There's no paint flaking
off the back of it,

487
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:43,547
There's no glass
broken on it.

488
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:46,985
Robbie:
2,800 bucks.

489
00:14:49,823 --> 00:14:55,360
Jill: [exhales] there's
no damage on it.

490
00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:56,694
Robbie: No?

491
00:14:56,763 --> 00:14:59,296
Jill: What
would brian do? [laughs]

492
00:14:59,365 --> 00:15:00,031
Mike: Heh.

493
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:05,003
Jill: Um...
How about 32?

494
00:15:08,508 --> 00:15:10,308
Robbie: How
about 3?

495
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:12,377
Jill: I could do 3.
I'd be happy with 3.

496
00:15:12,579 --> 00:15:13,311
Robbie: I'm happy.

497
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:14,178
Mike: Alright.

498
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,313
Robbie: I'm happy
that you're happy.

499
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:16,380
Jill: I'm happy.

500
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:17,248
Robbie: Alright.

501
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:18,182
Robbie: I'm taking
a chance on this.

502
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:18,983
But because it's in
brian's collection,

503
00:15:19,052 --> 00:15:20,985
I'm pretty sure
it's going to work.

504
00:15:24,658 --> 00:15:26,657
Mike: Robbie,
do you see this?

505
00:15:26,726 --> 00:15:27,391
Jill: Yeah, it's
a velocipede.

506
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:28,993
Robbie: -Locipede.

507
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:29,594
Mike: I like that you
got 3 different versions.

508
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:30,594
You got the hand
-pumped one.

509
00:15:30,664 --> 00:15:33,931
You got the
gasoline engine.

510
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,601
And then you've got
the steam engine one.

511
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:39,537
Mike: This is like the
railroad velocipede museum.

512
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:41,873
All 3 points of evolution.

513
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:43,140
Robbie: That's the wheel
that goes to it, mike.

514
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:44,342
Mike: Okay, this is the out,
this is the out-rigger piece?

515
00:15:44,411 --> 00:15:45,342
Robbie: Yeah.

516
00:15:45,411 --> 00:15:46,277
Jill: Yeah.

517
00:15:46,479 --> 00:15:47,678
Robbie: Yeah, it goes
in there, right here,

518
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:48,879
Right where
these holes are.

519
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:50,882
Mike: This is what an
inspector would have

520
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:53,684
Cruised around on to
inspect the rails.

521
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:54,886
Robbie: See, fits
right in there.

522
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:56,220
Mike: This was an
incredibly important job.

523
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:59,957
I mean, this was the person that
was inspecting the rails that

524
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:02,760
Passengers rode on, that
serious freight rode on.

525
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:04,628
Mike: This engine
looks so much like a

526
00:16:04,698 --> 00:16:06,764
Single cylinder
thor engine.

527
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:08,566
There's a brass tag
here that says,

528
00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:10,834
"the buda
company, chicago."

529
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:12,770
This was made in illinois
and thor engines

530
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:14,905
Were made in
illinois, in aurora.

531
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:16,975
But the casting is obviously
different because

532
00:16:17,177 --> 00:16:18,909
It's got a casting that would
mount to this wood.

533
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:21,979
The casting is specific
to this application.

534
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:24,982
Mike: I've never seen
anything like this before.

535
00:16:25,051 --> 00:16:27,852
It's a thor motorcycle
engine that's a utility

536
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,123
Engine made for buda.
Like pre -1907.

537
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:34,392
Mike: This thing's like, some
forward foot pegs, man.

538
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:35,793
Robbie: [laughs]

539
00:16:35,862 --> 00:16:37,061
Mike: Imagine kicking
it down there.

540
00:16:37,129 --> 00:16:40,932
Mike: This was literally
like a motorcycle on rails.

541
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,133
Mike: This is like an
as-found condition.

542
00:16:42,201 --> 00:16:44,936
This has not been cleaned,
it has not been messed with,

543
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,872
And it's amazing that
it's all still here.

544
00:16:47,941 --> 00:16:48,873
Mike: The most
incredible thing, seriously,

545
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:51,742
About this piece is,
it's just so untouched.

546
00:16:51,811 --> 00:16:53,678
Mike: It's just
a neat piece.

547
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,412
Do you know where
he got this at?

548
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:56,414
Jill: No I don't.

549
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:58,215
Mike: Imagine going
through the mountains,

550
00:16:58,284 --> 00:17:02,086
Over train trestles, you're just
traveling in these majestic wide

551
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:07,825
Open, wild spaces, on this
gas-powered rail motorcycle.

552
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:09,627
Mike: If you would
consider selling it,

553
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:10,828
What do you
think it's worth?

554
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:13,831
Jill: I'm thinking
close to 4. 4,000.

555
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:14,899
Mike: I think you're
right there on it.

556
00:17:15,101 --> 00:17:20,704
I'd pay 37, you know, I
really like it a lot.

557
00:17:20,774 --> 00:17:21,839
It hasn't been
touched, you know,

558
00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,774
And so much of this
stuff is restored,

559
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:26,043
And that's just
personal preference.

560
00:17:26,112 --> 00:17:28,712
It's neat that he never
messed with this, you know.

561
00:17:28,782 --> 00:17:31,582
Jill: Right. So
you're saying 37.

562
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:33,651
I could come
down to that.

563
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:34,518
Mike: You want
to do that?

564
00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:35,586
Jill: I could
do that.

565
00:17:35,655 --> 00:17:37,655
Mike: Oh my
gosh, urgh!

566
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:38,856
Robbie: Man.
Mike: Thank you.

567
00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:40,458
Mike: I love it, I really
love it a lot.

568
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:41,859
Jill: Mike was so sweet.

569
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,861
He gave me a good offer,
I couldn't pass it up.

570
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:47,731
And... I've got to
start letting things go.

571
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,733
Mike: And I don't
get excited about

572
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:50,468
Railroad stuff,
do I, robbie.

573
00:17:50,537 --> 00:17:51,002
Robbie: No, you don't.

574
00:17:54,274 --> 00:18:03,948
♪♪

575
00:18:04,017 --> 00:18:05,016
Mefford: Mike and I have
been working around the

576
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,885
Clock on this columbia
motor alley building.

577
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:10,822
It used to be a 1947
chevrolet dealership,

578
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:12,890
And we're trying to
bring that look back.

579
00:18:12,959 --> 00:18:16,827
So mike hired the
girls from "I saw the sign."

580
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:17,828
They have done some
really cool stuff,

581
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:20,765
And we are so lucky
to have them around,

582
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,900
Especially for
this cool project.

583
00:18:22,968 --> 00:18:25,002
It's so nice to see
it coming together.

584
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:36,914
Mike: Like, how many times
have you been in this room,

585
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:38,182
Have you bought anything
out of this room before?

586
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:40,718
Robbie: No, but I've sold brian
some of these big air meters.

587
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,585
Robbie: When brian
started collecting

588
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:44,789
Anything, he
went 200% in.

589
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:45,923
Mike: That's pretty
beautiful man.

590
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:47,858
Robbie: He wanted to
know every single thing

591
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:49,860
That was connected to
the petroliana side,

592
00:18:49,929 --> 00:18:52,596
To the country store
items, to the trains.

593
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:53,531
Mike: I like
that a lot.

594
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:54,998
Even the wheels
are wood.

595
00:18:55,067 --> 00:18:57,468
Robbie: He had it all, and
he never stopped buying.

596
00:18:57,537 --> 00:18:58,803
Robbie: Told you, man.

597
00:18:58,871 --> 00:18:59,937
Mike: Dude, this is
nuts. I mean,

598
00:19:00,006 --> 00:19:02,472
I could see why you were
absolutely speechless,

599
00:19:02,542 --> 00:19:03,607
Are you kidding me?

600
00:19:03,943 --> 00:19:04,942
Robbie: Well, you
asked me to describe it,

601
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:07,011
How do you describe
something like this, mike?

602
00:19:07,213 --> 00:19:09,413
Mike: I mean, I don't
know, I guess you just say...

603
00:19:09,616 --> 00:19:11,015
Petroliana nirvana.

604
00:19:11,417 --> 00:19:12,482
Robbie: [laughs]

605
00:19:12,552 --> 00:19:13,617
Robbie: It's just insane to
come here every time.

606
00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:15,886
It puts a smile
on my face.

607
00:19:15,955 --> 00:19:17,488
Jill: So I wanted to show
you something else.

608
00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:18,422
Robbie: Okay. Yeah.

609
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:19,890
Mike: Slow down, I'm
trying to take it all in.

610
00:19:19,959 --> 00:19:21,492
Robbie: Trust me, I've
been here so many times,

611
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:22,426
You can't take it all in.

612
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:23,427
Jill: There's a lot.

613
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:24,761
Mike: Is that... Wow.

614
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,430
Robbie: Every
time I come in here,

615
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:27,365
I miss something.

616
00:19:27,433 --> 00:19:29,767
Jill: I'm going to
show you another area.

617
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:30,901
It's the country
store we're going.

618
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:33,036
Robbie: I like this
area over here. Yeah.

619
00:19:33,105 --> 00:19:34,305
Mike: Well hey, slow up
on the country store room.

620
00:19:34,374 --> 00:19:36,641
Jill: What?

621
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:37,708
Mike: Robbie,
did you see this?

622
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:39,844
Robbie: I know. And
it's frickin'...

623
00:19:40,046 --> 00:19:41,645
Mike: Ahh... You've seen
this before, right?

624
00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:43,981
Robbie: Well,
I saw it here.

625
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,049
Mike: And you didn't tell
your big brother about it.

626
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:48,653
Mike: This cast iron
funeral sign is incredible.

627
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:49,854
I've never seen
anything like it.

628
00:19:50,056 --> 00:19:50,922
Mike: Yeah, they get
you coming and going too,

629
00:19:51,124 --> 00:19:52,590
They're in the ambulance,
if you don't make it...

630
00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:54,525
Robbie: And then
the funeral.

631
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:55,659
Mike: Take
it over here.

632
00:19:55,728 --> 00:19:57,528
Robbie: I love
the phone number.

633
00:19:57,597 --> 00:19:58,863
Jill: 80.
Robbie: Yeah.

634
00:19:58,931 --> 00:20:00,864
Mike: You remember
where you got this?

635
00:20:00,934 --> 00:20:02,266
Jill: I remember when
he brought it home.

636
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:03,734
Mike: Yeah?

637
00:20:03,803 --> 00:20:05,068
Jill: He was very
excited about it.

638
00:20:05,137 --> 00:20:05,736
Mike: And you were just
like, that's kind of morbid.

639
00:20:05,938 --> 00:20:07,671
Jill: [laughs]
you're right.

640
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:08,672
Mike: I- it- it
is and it's...

641
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:10,074
Robbie: It is,
but it isn't.

642
00:20:10,143 --> 00:20:13,611
Mike: It's just so incredible
that when you look at it,

643
00:20:13,813 --> 00:20:15,680
You're like...
Is that real?

644
00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:17,148
Mike: That car
is in iron.

645
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:21,685
Mike: Now on top is this
like massive cast iron packard.

646
00:20:21,754 --> 00:20:23,621
Jill: It's like
a gangster car.

647
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:25,889
Mike: It's a
gangster car, yep.

648
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:27,624
It's pretty amazing
that it is double-sided.

649
00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:28,959
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Yeah.

650
00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:30,761
Robbie: You know it's
like, you want to stick

651
00:20:30,829 --> 00:20:32,964
That out in front
of your business.

652
00:20:33,166 --> 00:20:35,766
Mike: This is it. This is
everything to me. The car.

653
00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:37,835
Mike: I'm totally
showing my cards here.

654
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,638
I'm letting jill know
I love this piece.

655
00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:41,305
Jill: You really
want that?

656
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:43,907
Mike: Yeah.

657
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:45,710
And there are people
that collect funerary,

658
00:20:45,778 --> 00:20:47,444
You know, there
really are.

659
00:20:47,513 --> 00:20:48,512
Robbie: Oh trust me.

660
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:48,846
Mike: A lot of people
that collect caskets.

661
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:49,379
Jill: Really?

662
00:20:49,448 --> 00:20:50,247
Robbie: Yeah.

663
00:20:50,316 --> 00:20:51,582
Mike: And... And
embalming equipment.

664
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:53,050
You know, it's a thing.

665
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,785
Robbie: We're just happy
that brian didn't collect that.

666
00:20:54,854 --> 00:20:55,519
Mike: You know, it's
a thing, you know.

667
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:56,853
Jill: So am
I. [laughs]

668
00:20:56,922 --> 00:20:57,521
Mike: But I mean,
obviously the date's a 2,

669
00:20:57,724 --> 00:20:59,790
With the phone
number 80,

670
00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:02,592
And then the time

at too there, is the handle.

839
00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:17,635
Where you're going to
spend the most time with it.

840
00:27:17,837 --> 00:27:19,502
How it's going
to feel to you.

841
00:27:19,571 --> 00:27:21,038
Mike: I love this piece.

842
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:23,841
I mean, if you would
think about selling this...

843
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:25,709
You know it's
just, it's brilliant.

844
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:27,711
I haven't seen
this one before.

845
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:28,845
Jill: Everybody
loves that piece.

846
00:27:28,914 --> 00:27:30,313
Mike: Everybody
loves the saw display?

847
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:30,914
Jill: Yes.

848
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:31,248
Mike: And it's still here.

849
00:27:31,450 --> 00:27:32,850
Jill: Yes.

850
00:27:33,052 --> 00:27:35,585
Mike: Okay, so
what's that telling me? Ugh...

851
00:27:35,655 --> 00:27:38,388
Jill: I got to think about it.

852
00:27:38,457 --> 00:27:39,189
Mike: Alright.

853
00:27:39,257 --> 00:27:39,923
Well let me ask
you about this...

854
00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:42,459
This big rack on
the wall over here.

855
00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:43,527
Jill: The meat rack?

856
00:27:43,729 --> 00:27:44,994
Mike: The meat
cathedral.

857
00:27:45,064 --> 00:27:47,998
This is the largest butcher
rack I've ever seen.

858
00:27:48,067 --> 00:27:52,002
Usually you find one
bracket with a marquee on it.

859
00:27:52,071 --> 00:27:54,204
But you can see that this
was manufactured this way.

860
00:27:54,273 --> 00:27:59,542
These all come off, you know,
to hang the meat or to clean it.

861
00:27:59,611 --> 00:28:01,078
And obviously to move it.

862
00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:02,679
Jill: I know I was with
brian when he bought that,

863
00:28:02,748 --> 00:28:05,815
At an auction in
northwest ohio.

864
00:28:05,884 --> 00:28:06,950
I cannot remember
what he paid for it.

865
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:09,486
Mike: To the right person,
I think it's worth

866
00:28:09,554 --> 00:28:10,153
As much as 3 grand.

867
00:28:10,890 --> 00:28:13,357
The problem is, is
finding the person...

868
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:14,691
Jill: Right.

869
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,159
Mike: ...That
could utilized it.

870
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,360
Like when I look at it, I think
it still needs to be in some

871
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:20,363
Sort of a retail setting, unless
you got a massive kitchen.

872
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:21,965
Jill: [chuckles]

873
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:24,101
Mike: You know I mean
it's, it is what it is.

874
00:28:24,303 --> 00:28:26,970
Mike: On the top are what I
like to call the meat marquee.

875
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:29,907
It's got the bone saw,
it's got the cleaver,

876
00:28:29,975 --> 00:28:31,641
It's got the steel
to sharpen the knife.

877
00:28:31,711 --> 00:28:33,110
I mean, that's
where it starts.

878
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:35,579
And then you look down, and it
just kind of drapes into

879
00:28:35,781 --> 00:28:38,048
This medieval
meat market.

880
00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:40,717
The arms that mount to the
wall, they're cast iron,

881
00:28:40,786 --> 00:28:42,986
They're heavy,
they're very ornate.

882
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:45,589
This was obviously in a
very large butcher shop.

883
00:28:45,791 --> 00:28:47,658
I've never seen
one so big.

884
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,859
This is a very
cool piece.

885
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:51,528
The fact that it's
got wax wieners on it,

886
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:52,996
Takes it over the top.

887
00:28:54,533 --> 00:28:57,801
Mike: I'd pay um...

888
00:28:57,869 --> 00:28:59,803
I'd pay 2 grand
for the meat rack.

889
00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:02,206
And here's what I'm thinking
- 2 grand for the meat rack,

890
00:29:02,274 --> 00:29:05,609
4,000 for that little tiny
display with the bullets in it,

891
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:08,011
And 1,000 for
the saw display.

892
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:11,548
$7,000.

893
00:29:12,017 --> 00:29:13,984
I would want the rubber
hot dogs with it too.

894
00:29:15,354 --> 00:29:17,020
Jill: [laughs]

895
00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:17,954
Jill: Those are pieces that
brian really liked.

896
00:29:18,023 --> 00:29:19,556
But there's a lot here.
I got to look at it,

897
00:29:19,625 --> 00:29:21,992
I can't keep
everything.

898
00:29:22,294 --> 00:29:22,993
Jill: 75?

899
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:27,998
Mike: Hmm...
Split it with me.

900
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:29,099
Jill: Okay.

901
00:29:29,301 --> 00:29:30,166
Mike: We're doing it?
Jill: Yeah.

902
00:29:30,235 --> 00:29:35,972
Mike: Urgh! God I love
this. It's incredible.

903
00:29:36,041 --> 00:29:37,841
Jill: With the meat, with
the meat. You're crazy.

904
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:38,842
Mike: Yes! I'm buying,
like the dogs.

905
00:29:38,911 --> 00:29:39,375
Jill: You're just
crazy like brian was.

906
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:40,978
Mike: Arrr...

907
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:42,379
Jill: I think mike and brian
would have got along.

908
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,582
Mike: It's like the meat altar.
Cathedral of meat... You know?

909
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:46,516
Jill: Okay, you're crazy.

910
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:47,450
Mike: It's incredible.

911
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,320
Jill: Again, you guys
are all nuts. [laughs]

912
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:51,655
Just saying.

913
00:29:51,857 --> 00:29:52,990
Every single one
of you collectors.

914
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:05,068
♪♪

915
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:07,670
Jill: It was nice to walk
around and look at everything,

916
00:30:07,739 --> 00:30:09,339
And show it to
robbie and mike.

917
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:10,607
Mike: Alright...

918
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:11,875
Jill: I got a
taller ladder.

919
00:30:11,944 --> 00:30:12,743
Jill: I'm glad robbie
brought mike to see

920
00:30:12,945 --> 00:30:16,013
This massive
collection that I have.

921
00:30:17,216 --> 00:30:18,748
Mike: I think this is what
heaven looks like, robbie.

922
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:19,616
Robbie: [laughs]
mike: Neon heaven.

923
00:30:19,685 --> 00:30:21,685
Jill: I tried to get
brian to downsize,

924
00:30:21,887 --> 00:30:23,754
Or not do the
demolition anymore.

925
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,289
He didn't want to
do any of that.

926
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:26,990
He loved it.

927
00:30:32,698 --> 00:30:34,498
He loved every
minute of it.

928
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,967
Jill: He smiled all the
time, he had the best smile.

929
00:30:37,035 --> 00:30:39,436
Oh my god, he had dimples,
they were awesome.

930
00:30:39,638 --> 00:30:40,570
Jill: You got it done?

931
00:30:40,639 --> 00:30:42,906
Jill: He enjoyed every
single one of these days.

932
00:30:42,975 --> 00:30:43,773
Robbie: So you know I've
been telling you all

933
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:45,308
Day long about trains
stuff, you know.

934
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:46,710
Mike: Huh.

935
00:30:46,779 --> 00:30:48,111
Robbie: Okay. Just
don't freak...

936
00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:49,178
Jill: I have a few things down
in the basement to show you.

937
00:30:49,248 --> 00:30:50,113
Robbie: Just a couple.
Mike: Okay. I'm ready.

938
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:51,381
Robbie: Remember what we
said about neon signs?

939
00:30:51,450 --> 00:30:53,517
Jill: Go ahead.

940
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:55,385
Mike: Oh wow. Whoa...

941
00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:55,986
Robbie: Yeah.

942
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:56,720
Mike: R.J. Wolfe
& son, what!

943
00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:58,855
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Wow...

944
00:30:58,924 --> 00:31:00,790
Robbie: That's nothing.
Mike: [laughing]

945
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,325
Robbie:
Take a gander to your right.

946
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:05,662
Mike: Holy crap!

947
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:07,797
Robbie: [laughs]
mike: Whoa!

948
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:08,865
Mike: You know,
it's like a lifetime.

949
00:31:08,934 --> 00:31:11,802
Like literally someone's
lifetime collection,

950
00:31:11,870 --> 00:31:13,804
But he has all these
different phases

951
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,805
And stages in his
life. It's like...

952
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:17,674
When he threw
himself into something,

953
00:31:17,742 --> 00:31:19,542
Man, he went
full throttle.

954
00:31:19,612 --> 00:31:22,079
Mike: Whoa!
Holy crap.

955
00:31:22,147 --> 00:31:25,082
Robbie: This basement just
keeps on going and going.

956
00:31:25,284 --> 00:31:27,684
But the neat thing about it
is, you can walk through it.

957
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:29,085
I've been down
here 10 times,

958
00:31:29,154 --> 00:31:32,155
And I still find new things that
I've never seen before.

959
00:31:32,224 --> 00:31:34,290
Mike: So is he the one that
did all the displays in here?

960
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:35,559
Jill: Yes.

961
00:31:35,627 --> 00:31:36,292
Mike: He's great at it.

962
00:31:36,361 --> 00:31:37,226
Jill: Yes.

963
00:31:37,296 --> 00:31:38,228
Mike: I mean, they
look really great job.

964
00:31:38,297 --> 00:31:41,497
Mike: Brian's collection
was so deep in quality,

965
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,166
Rarity, and quantity.

966
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:46,302
Mike: To be honest with ya,
I've never been a railroad guy,

967
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:47,770
And now...

968
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:48,772
Jill: You want to
be a railroad guy?

969
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,906
Mike: Now I'm
thinking about it.

970
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:50,840
Jill: I got some items
I could sell to you.

971
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:53,043
Mike: I mean, I'm
from a railroad town.

972
00:31:53,112 --> 00:31:56,513
And the railroad helped
build my community so much;

973
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:58,047
That and the river.

974
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:01,985
And I can understand his
passion and his love for it,

975
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:04,988
Because the railroad is
what built this country.

976
00:32:05,391 --> 00:32:06,456
Mike: Whoa...

977
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:07,457
Mike: Coming from a guy
that's not a railroad collector,

978
00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:09,726
I'm walking around...

979
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:11,728
And I'm enamored
by a lot of it.

980
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:12,996
Mike: I like the
way his mind worked.

981
00:32:13,198 --> 00:32:15,932
Mike: So when you romanticize
about the open rails,

982
00:32:16,001 --> 00:32:20,003
And the scenery and that
time period in america

983
00:32:20,072 --> 00:32:23,540
When everything was
steam-driven, it's intoxicating.

984
00:32:23,742 --> 00:32:25,275
Robbie: I like these, mike.

985
00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:26,543
Mike: Yeah.

986
00:32:26,612 --> 00:32:28,011
Jill: The bulletin boards?

987
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:28,611
Mike: I know, I mean,
what's there not to like,

988
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,213
I like everything
in here!

989
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:32,882
Mike: I'm seeing so many things
that I've never seen before.

990
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:36,620
Never seen before.
30 years of doing this.

991
00:32:36,822 --> 00:32:37,888
Jill: Are you
lost back here?

992
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:40,623
Mike: No, hell no.
Robbie: This is nuts.

993
00:32:40,692 --> 00:32:41,491
Mike: Robbie, do you see this?

994
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:42,425
Robbie: What is it?

995
00:32:42,494 --> 00:32:43,693
Mike: Ugh... My god!

996
00:32:43,762 --> 00:32:45,828
Jill: [laughs]
robbie: What's...

997
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,564
Jill: ...Careful your back.
Mike: Ugh!

998
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:48,364
Robbie: It's a cast iron plaque?

999
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:49,099
Mike: Yeah...

1000
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:50,700
Jill: It's
bronze, isn't it?

1001
00:32:50,769 --> 00:32:52,302
Robbie: Bronze?
What is it?

1002
00:32:52,371 --> 00:32:53,836
Mike: Ahh...

1003
00:32:53,905 --> 00:32:55,571
Robbie: Oh, the
pennsylvania railroad.

1004
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,641
Safety trophy,
holy cow.

1005
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:58,775
Mike: 1931.

00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:10,587
I'm not sure what year it
was, but I've seen this piece,

1010
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,856
And I think it's striking.

1011
00:33:12,924 --> 00:33:14,724
With the radial
engines on the airplane,

1012
00:33:14,793 --> 00:33:16,125
And then the engine
coming at you,

1013
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:19,195
It's like they're both almost
like, they're both racing.

1014
00:33:19,264 --> 00:33:21,865
Mike: On this plaque, you have
the stability and power of the

1015
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:24,067
Railroad, and they're
connecting that to the

1016
00:33:24,135 --> 00:33:27,003
Cutting edge technology of
the tri-motor airplane.

1017
00:33:27,072 --> 00:33:28,471
Mike: Everything that
was modern in this era,

1018
00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:31,608
All packaged together.

1019
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:34,010
Mike: The plaque
is dated 1931.

1020
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,946
This country was in the
depths of the depression.

1021
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:38,415
But what this plaque
is saying basically is,

1022
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:39,750
This is the future.

1023
00:33:39,952 --> 00:33:41,618
There is light at
the end of the tunnel,

1024
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:43,019
We're going to
get through it.

1025
00:33:43,088 --> 00:33:44,621
Mike: Do you have any
idea of the value of this?

1026
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:46,022
Jill: A friend of brian's...

1027
00:33:46,091 --> 00:33:49,225
Who he collected the
railroad stuff together with,

1028
00:33:49,294 --> 00:33:53,763
He told me that, you know retail
price is probably $1,000 on it.

1029

Mike: Yeah, I
know, it's gorgeous.

you do 7 on it?

Mike: This is
a work of art.

1041
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:20,790
The image is
forged in metal,

1042

And the subject
matter is incredible.

was into demolition,

It probably wasn't
mass-produced.

1129

He was still alive, because he
wanted to see who was getting

Over the years, brian
became not just a friend,

00:38:10,956 --> 00:38:13,757
But he taught me so
much about this industry.
