Danielle: And this you on stage here?
Wayne: That is me.
Robbie: That thing needs to be in the hall of fame.

Jersey jon: You know, george washington could
Have put his clothes in this thing, a least in theory,
You know?

With the lake, I'm thinking a bloody mary.
Hannah: No prob- no problem, got it, got it.

Mike: Are you comfortable?
Jersey jon: Coast is clear, boy.
Mike: The biggest thing is- whoa come on,
Why is it going to 4,000 rpms?
Jersey jon: Yeah, it's like not shifting right.
Mike: Okay. So let's uh...
Jersey jon: Let me go up.
Mike: Okay. See I, I knew I shouldn't have
Let you drive, man.
Jersey jon: No dude, this has got a,
Like a weird shifter, I'm not used to it.
My dodge is different.
Mike: Alright, here don't ride the clutch, man!
Jersey jon: There ain't no clutch on this thing.
Mike: Alright, you passed the first test, see?
[laughs]
Jersey jon: Come on, dude.
Mike: Well I don't know, I've never seen it do that before.
Jersey jon: Yeah, it's kind of weird.
Mike: Let's put it back in park.

Mike: Put it back in park. There you go.
What does that say, what's lit up right there?
Oh you're in manual.
Jersey jon: How do you get out of manual, man?

Jersey jon: It's in d!
Mike: -Go left.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: Make sure it's in d, not m.

Mike: Hey, you kendall?
Kendall: Hi, I am.
Mike: Hey, I'm mike.
Kendall: Hi mike, nice to meet you.
Mike: Nice to meet you.
This is jersey jon.
Jersey jon: Hey, how are you?
Kendall: Hi jersey jon. Good.
Mike: Yeah, hit you with a flyer.
Kendall: Okay.
Mike: This is some of the stuff that dani
Probably talked to you about.
Kendall: Oh gosh, we have a lot of junk in the garage.
Mike: Yeah?
I know jon's looking a that wood already.
Jersey jon: Yeah, yeah, that's nice,
It's like flooring...
Mike: He's a wood guy.
Jersey jon: Longleaf yellow pine wide plank flooring,
That's nice stuff.
Mike: I mean, all I know a lot of the photographs
I saw of the collection is like primitives and,
You know, pottery and things like that.
Kendall: Yes.
Mike: So we dabble a little bit in that stuff,
You know, weathervanes and...
Jersey jon: Furniture.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: I'm a furniture guy.
Kendall: We've got some of that stuff.
Kendall: I'm kendall owen, this is my mother,
Hannah owen.
Hannah: Bill passed away 4 years ago.
He really, really loved, I think,
All the things he acquired.
Jersey jon: It'd be great for...
Mike: Look at these early andirons.
Jersey jon: Yeah look, that's all hand-forged, mike.
Mike: Yeah.
Kendall: I know that there's a lot of very valuable items that
He has tucked away in every nook and corner.
Kendall: Well my parents are from baltimore,
So you'll see a lot of things from the east coast.
They were collectors there.
And when they moved down to north carolina
About 45 years ago...
Jersey jon: Wow.
Kendall: ...They picked up a taste for southern.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's- that's wild you say that,
Because I'm from iowa, and I used to set up
A flea market in nashville.
And when I would go to the flea market in nashville...
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: ...I would come back from his area in new jersey,
And I'd have a whole van full of...
Jersey jon: East coast stuff.
Mike: ...East coast stuff.
Kendall: Okay.
Mike: And so I'd open the door up and all the,
All the southern dealers would be like,
Oh my gosh, this is the east coast load.
Mike: The east coast is a treasure trove of american
Antiques, especially early primitives
And early american furniture.
The ports were there, manufacturing was there,
People had money, and there's all these small villages
Peppered outside of philadelphia into new jersey and delaware.
It's just like the best place to pick.
So when you come back from picking the east coast,
You're bringing things into other parts of the country
That they really have never seen before,
Or had the opportunity to buy.
Mike: Well, there's a lot of things that are regional,
You know...
Like this piece for example, right here this...
Jersey jon: Yeah. Yep.
Mike: ...Probably whale fat lamp, look at that.
You know, that's a neat primitive.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: Obviously it's missing a couple of its tentacles.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: But this is, this would be something that you...
Jersey jon: It's like 1870 and earlier.
Mike: Yeah, you wouldn't see this-
Oh there's one right there.
Jersey jon: There's one, yeah.
Mike: There's one, okay.
So we're down to one.
Jersey jon: I can fix that for you.
Mike: I know you could.
What are you thinking, like 200 bucks?
Jersey jon: Yeah... That's a little heavy.
Mike: Is it?
Jersey jon: With the repair, which is going to be a little
Bit of money...
Mike: The whale oil lamp to me is crude and it's primitive,
But the way it's made, you know, it almost looks
Like a piece of art.
I think it's really awesome.
Jersey jon: You could put a lot of whale oil on that sucker.
Mike: Oh yeah, man.
Jersey jon: You know, that's going to make a lot of light.
Mike: Whale oil was even used as a fuel source for lighthouses.
Mike: I'd do 125.
I think to be honest with you, it would take the right person
To give me the 200.
But I wouldn't mind seeing it sit around the shop for a while,
'cause I love it, you know.
Jersey jon: Yeah, it's good-looking.
Kendall: I'm in for 125.
Mike: Okay.
Jersey jon: What about- what about the anvil?
Kendall: Oh.
Jersey jon: I'm definitely interested in buying that anvil.
You see, whoahh...
So it's about 80 pounds.
Kendall: [chuckles]
Jersey jon: I see this anvil on the ground.
And it's a hay budden.
Jersey jon: Made in brooklyn, new york.
Yeah, that's...
Mike: There you go. East coast, baby.
Jersey jon: They're the, like the best anvil,
These are such a great ringing anvil.
They're highly desirable.
Condition on this one's really nice.
Jersey jon: I buy them like $2 a pound.
Kendall: Okay.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: And I sell them for like 3- $4 a pound.
This is, like 80 pounds.
And so I'm going to give you, like you know, 160.
Kendall: 160?
Jersey jon: Yep.
Kendall: I think that's good.
Jersey jon: Alright, good, we got a deal.
Kendall & jersey jon: [laughs]
Jersey jon: Alright, let me put this down.
Kendall: Well there was never a dull moment, I guess.
Kendall: Uh... Any time we were
Traveling in our winnebago,
We would stop at flea markets.
Hannah: Most of the stuff came from auctions.
Mike: Did you see that desk back there?
What time period is that from?
That really tall one.
Jersey jon: Yeah look, it's pegged, mike.
You see the pegs here?
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: And it's got, it's got nice paint decoration on it.
Jersey jon: Furniture's always my first love.
I've made a living with furniture.
I'm an antique restoration artist.
I've been doing this since I was a kid.
Mike: This is one of the tallest ones I've ever seen.
Jersey jon: Yeah, so what- what would,
I mean, think about it, what would it have been used for?
Maybe some kind of stationmaster's desk
For a railroad station?
Mike: Yes, something where you would- something...
Jersey jon: Or a guy, standing up and working on a ledger.
Mike: I'm just thinking something that you would want,
You would want to be higher than everyone else in the room.
Jersey jon: And it locks too. It locks too.
Mike: You know.
Jersey jon: This is early, mike.
This is probably 18...50- 1860.
Jersey jon: It's about 6 foot long,
But it's really tall.
Somebody would stand at and work at.
It's got a slant front.
Jersey jon: It's be cool in a hallway, mike.
You could put a, like a display of pop here,
Put some books on here.
Actually use it for functioning as a desk.
Mike: You know, he's really getting into it.
I love watching jersey jon, like his mind explode
On a piece of furniture.
And I'm thinking to myself, man, the keno brothers
Have nothing on jersey jon. [chuckles]
The world would not be ready for 2 jersey jons.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: It's a cool piece.
And I like it 'cause it's pegged.
You see the oak pegs in here.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: You know, it's- it's- it's cool.
It's early.
Kendall: You guys talking about this reminds me of
Going to places like brimfield with my dad.
And he would stand there and talk for hours...
Mike: Oh he would haul you up there? [laughs]
Jersey jon: [laughs]
Kendall: ...Yes. With a dealer about one piece of furniture,
One piece of brown furniture.
Mike: Brimfield is one of the oldest outdoor
Antique flea markets.
It's in massachusetts, high-test stuff,
Very high quality.
It's one of the best markets in this country.
Mike: So you were an extra set of eyes for your dad.
Kendall: I was, an extra driver for the truck.
Mike: Yeah.
Kendall: We took our u-haul up there...
Jersey jon: Sure.
Kendall: ...And we camped in the campgrounds.
Jersey jon: Nice.
Kendall: I think going to brimfield in particular,
Where my dad would give me what he called,
"a little walking around money."
Hannah: [laughs]
Kendall: So he would let me go and buy, you know, a quilt.
Kendall: We had the full experience including all the
Changes in weather, you start out with a parka on,
At the end of the day...
Mike: Oh yeah, 'cause you're getting up at like
5:30 in the morning...
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: ...You got to get up right when the sun's getting up,
Because you want to be able to see all
The new stuff on the field.
Kendall: Well that's when they open the field.
Jersey jon: The stuff coming out of the trucks.
Mike: Yeah exactly.
Jersey jon: Yeah, man.
Kendall: Yeah.
Kendall: I think I appreciated seeing his enthusiasm, and...
Just kind of developing my own tastes of what I liked.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: So what are you thinking on this then?
Kendall: Ahhh, how about 500 to y'all?
Mike: Let me see, jersey, what do you think underneath there,
Have you looked at the bottom?
Jersey jon: Yeah, I mean, it's- it's real.
It's got nice legs, it's dramatic,
It's a large tall piece.
Mike: Yeah, it is very dramatic.
Jersey jon: I mean, put it in a hallway,
It's going to look good.
And it's, it's got the...
Mike: Yeah, it's got some, it's got good dec.
Jersey jon: The paint decoration's cool.
Mike: 500 bucks.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Kendall: Alright.
Mike: Alright!
Thank ya.
Jersey jon: Nice.

Danielle: Robbie.
Robbie: I've been hearing all about you today.
Wayne: Yeah.
Robbie: Thank you for taking the time to, seriously.
Wayne: Music's a little bit like religion and like politics.
When you grow up with it, you just have a
Special feeling for it, you know.
And bluegrass is the same way.
When I was small, my daddy would bring a record in,
You know, bill monroe, and we'd wear it out listening to it.
Robbie: So I heard you played with some of the greats.
Wayne: Mr. Monroe, the father of bluegrass,
Probably was my...
Robbie: Bill monroe.
Wayne: ...Claim to fame, yes.
Robbie: Yeah.
Wayne: Loretta lynn, hank thompson, out of texas.
When he'd come to memphis, he'd call me to play.
Robbie: Wow.
Wayne: And of course, grand ole opry,
Las vegas, and places like that.
Wayne: Main thing was fiddling contests.
I've enjoyed doing that down since I was about 18 year old.
Back in the '60s on up to the '80s,
I won 10 in mississippi state championships,
And 3 in huntsville, alabama state championships.
And 13 in tennessee.

Mike: Early american country primitives,
Pottery, I've always dabbled in this stuff over the years.
And you really have to if you're going to make
A living in this industry.
Mike: There's a note inside. Just a sec...
Hannah: Oh well...
Kendall: Probably a receipt.
Hannah: "nelson baff." b -a -f -f.
Mike: Okay.
Hannah: "2-gallon jar, catawba valley, 3- $400."
Mike: Okay. And then there's one in there.
What's that one say?
Hannah: Thank you, bill. Very...
Mike: Is that bill's handwriting?
Hannah: Yes.
Mike: Awesome.
Hannah: "very rare catawba valley
2- gallon jar by frank smith."
Mike: Bill knew that this was going to be overwhelming.
And these notes were left to guide them.
Not only in value, but the history of each piece.
Hannah: He really did care about these things.
Jersey jon: And he- and he's got values on this stuff.
Hannah: That was very helpful and very
Heartwarming that he took the time to do that.
Jersey jon: Whoa, this is a workshop space.
Mike: This is like all jersey jon world right here.
Jersey jon: Oh yeah. So you got band saws...
Hannah: Um-hm...
Hannah: You know, he had the room and he had his lathe and he
Had his, well he had 27 saws, 'cause he couldn't find
Ones he already had, so he bought a new one,
You know. [laughs]
Jersey jon: So this is a masthead light.
Hannah: Yep.
Jersey jon: So that goes on top of a mast.
Hannah: Yep.
Jersey jon: And you pull your sail up with that, basically.
Hannah: Right, right.
Jersey jon: And that would light the top of it.
This one is probably some kind of deck lamp,
I would imagine, something like that.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: I mean, retail this is probably like $125 thing.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: This is probably like a $30 thing.
Hannah: Right.
Jersey jon: How about 75 bucks?
Hannah: Yeah.
Jersey jon: Okay?
Hannah: 75 sounds good, yeah.
Jersey jon: Thank you, that's great.

Jersey jon: Look at the tramp art behind you,
Mike, look at that.
Hannah: Yeah.
Mike: Oh yeah.
That's a big piece.
Jersey jon: That's cool. That's nice.
Mike: That's a really- oh here's a really great frame.
Jersey jon: Yeah, nice frames.
Mike: Look at that.
That's a great frame.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: Tramp art is basically a style of woodworking that
Became popular in the us in the late 1800s.
Most of it is made of reclaimed wood,
Like cigar boxes and shipping crates.
Layering all these materials in an artistic
Way made each piece unique.
A lot of... Notching, chipping, and carving
Pretty much defined this style.
Mike: It's got this piece of wood on it...
Hannah: Oh look it's got, it's got carving...
Oh wait...
Mike: Yeah, that's just some lid he put on top of...
Hannah: Oh, oh, oh...
Mike: The box is missing the lid.
Jersey jon: So it's missing the lid.
Hannah: Oh I see, okay.
Mike: Yeah.
But what a great, I mean, even...
Jersey jon: Even by- by itself.
Mike: Yeah.
And here's some pieces that came off of it probably,
Or something.
Jersey jon: ...Up high, yeah.
Mike: No, they're all there.
Oh that- they came off, he was going to use those,
I bet, on the new lid he was making,
Yeah you know.
Hannah: Uh -huh. I'm sure.
Mike: Bill being a woodworker, I could see why he loved tramp
Art, because it's very detailed in design,
And very meticulous, with someone that built it,
You know, it's from the mind of each person.
Mike: Uh for the box... Without the lid... 100.
Hannah: Fine with me.
Mike: Do that? Okay.
Hannah: Um-hm.
And this, that's not- let's see...
Mike: I don't know like...
I was going to say like, 50 bucks.
Hannah: Yeah, that's good 'cause it's got a missing piece here.
Jersey jon: Yeah, it's missing some pieces.
Mike: Yeah, it's missing that, but still you know...
Hannah: Yeah.
Jersey jon: It displays well.
Mike: None of this stuff was ever mass-produced.
So each piece is very unique and different,
And very artistic.
Jersey jon: Look at these, mike, on the floor, ugh...
Mike: What?
Jersey jon: Aren't these carnival things?
Hannah: Yes, yes.
Kendall: Knock-downs?
Jersey jon: Knock-downs?

Hannah: Yeah.
Mike: Yes.
Jersey jon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
Mike: And some of, so these are knock-downs,
Like jersey said, for a carnival.
Hannah: Yeah.
Mike: They would have been stacked up with this,
There's also a leaded one.
Hannah: Oh.
Mike: So can't knock it over.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Hannah: Ohh...
Mike: You know, so these are all,
These are cool.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Mike: This would have been in a carnival setting,
Where you would pay a nickel or whatever it was to throw a ball
And see if you could knock down the bottles.
They would be set in a pyramid shape to win a toy.
Okay well, there was one bottle, usually,
That was leaded, so you could not knock that bottle down.
Mike: That's the weighted one.
Jersey jon: Is it?
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: So that's how you didn't win.
[laughs] mike: Yeah, how you didn't win.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: You know, they've got white faded paint,
Gray paint, chipped paint.
And then when you stack them, they kind
Of looked like an art installation.
Mike: 11, there's 11 of them.
110 bucks.
Hannah: 110 bucks is fine with me.
Mike: Alright, thank you.
Thank you.

Not just to you, but to bluegrass music.
Wayne: Oh...
Danielle: To country music.
Wayne: I don't know...
How sentimental they'd be about it.
I am though.
Danielle: Yeah, exactly.
Danielle: Wayne wasn't trying to bring value to this fiddle
By having everybody sign it.
He was trying to remember all the experiences on the road that
He had with all of these great performers.
Clent: The real money piece would probably be...
On this one.
It's a steiner, from germany, an original one.
That was built back in the 1700s.
Danielle: My goodness.
Clent: It's got the monster head on it,
With them wide eyes.
Wayne: That was more flashy to look at, you know.
It'd catch your attention more.
Sounds pretty good.
Clent: It has that monster head, and I've never seen
Another fiddle with one on there.
Robbie: Is this something that you would sell?
Clent: It probably holds the most,
You know, value to my heart, and...
[sighs] I think we might want to hold off on this piece.

It's got the leg shield badge on it! Agh!
Jersey jon: Move some of this stuff out of the way.
Mike: Did he ride this?
Hannah: No, his- his, a very good friend of his did.
Hannah: He had a good friend who was dying,
And he gave bill the lambretta, 'cause he,
You know, he thought he would be a guardian of it,
[laughs] you know, or fix it up and that kind of thing.
Mike: This is a really rare scooter.
I mean, I collect lambrettas, I collect vespa.
Hannah: Oh my, I'm excited!
Mike: This was it.
They made the sx200, then they made another one
That was even rarer called the tv200.
But this was the mean machine.
This was the 2-stroke...
Hannah: Who knew?
Mike: ...2-stroke pissed off chainsaw, man.
Going down the road. Waaahhh!
This was it.
Mike: I think most of the people that bought these scooters in
The us, truly did not understand their power and potential.
Mike: Alright jersey, let's stack...
I want to get it to the point where we're not going
To have to move it twice.
Mike: That's why a lot of european collectors are
Buying these scooters back now from america,
Because over here, they just have no miles.
You know, if this scooter was in europe and spent time over
There somewhere, it would be ridden into the ground, man.
I mean, people use these for transportation,
They raced them over there, they were on them on a daily basis.
So when you find an sx200 in the us,
It's original paint and low miles?
It's like a unicorn, man - so rare, so cool.
Jersey jon: Mike, kick that pedal.
See if it kicks over. Oh yeah.
Mike: Yeeahh...
Jersey jon: Yep, it's not seized up.
Hannah: Does that seat lift up so you... Okay.
Mike: Yeah, so you can put fuel in it.
Alright, there you go.
Hannah: Oh, okay. Uh -huh.
Mike: Yeah, see.
Hannah: Are these ones where you see the people
Leaning so far over they're almost on the ground?
Mike: Oh yeah.
Hannah: Yeeahh, yeah. [laughs]
Mike: Alright. Um...
In the condition it's in... 3,500.
Hannah: That sounds wonderful.
[group laughing]
Mike: You think so?
Hannah: Yeah, I do. [laughs]
Mike: Alright, I- sounds wonderful to me too.
Hannah: Okay.
Mike: Alright, thank you.
Hannah: I'm so glad that somebody...
Jersey jon: Could use it.
Mike: Oh my god, are you kidding me?
It's so awesome!
Jersey jon: That's awesome. Thank you.
Mike: Yeah... This is it.
Hannah: You know, you love it, and you're going to restore it,
And you're going to be happy...
Mike: Yeah...
No, we're just going to clean it and get it rolling.
Hannah: I was absolutely thrilled,
Because what am I going to do with this thing,
You know? [laughs]
Mike: Oh my gosh!

Robbie: You lead the way, young man.
Wayne: Oh yes sir.
Robbie: A house this size, this old,
It's got to have some stuff in it.
Wayne: There it is before we moved it.
Danielle: There's the house, right before you moved it.
Wayne: There it is after I moved it.
Danielle: This is after you moved with the first snow.
Robbie: I've moved garages and sheds,
But wayne moved a victorian house from downtown
To the top of this hill, and he didn't cut it up?
You got to be kidding me!
Wayne: Got talking to people that moved houses,
They said, "well you're crazy, you can't move that."
Power lines, trees, yards.
Clent: Everybody in town thought he was crazy,
But he knew this is a golden opportunity for
Him to kind of have his dream home and...
Robbie: Yeah.
Clent: Sitting on the river and stuff.
Wayne: Got it all worked out, set up a date to move it,
But the only way I could move it was
Coming across walmart parking lot.
But they were closed on Sunday mornings.
If I could have that house ready to go across that parking lot
While they're closed, I could get forgiveness a lot easier
Than I could get a permit...
Clent: [laughs]
Wayne: [laughs] and that's exactly what happened.
Danielle: And the result is this beautiful view of the
Tennessee river.
Wayne: I have a lot of memories and a lot of items
I picked up all along the way.
So going back in history...
Danielle: What's this massive photo right up here?
Wayne: Jim beam band.
That was the entertainment around here.
From about 1880 till 1939.
Danielle: Love that.
Wayne: Oh they loved it.
Robbie: Wow.
Danielle: Great.
Robbie: Dani, check this shirt out.
[wolf whistles]
Danielle: Yeah... That's a nice little shirt.
Wayne: Uh-huh.
Robbie: Back in the day, they had style.
And when these guys stepped on stage,
It was all about putting on a show.
Porter wagoner, hank williams, roy clark,
Ernest tubb - their suits sparkled,
Their shirts, they had to speak to the audience.
Robbie: Is that one you wore?
Wayne: I wore it a few times, but it's a little
Loud for me now. [laughs]
Robbie: Oh... [laughs]
Danielle: It sounds so quiet though.
Robbie: That's what I was going to say.
Danielle: [laughs]
Danielle: This beautiful black and white,
Very simple country western shirt,
Was just a little bit fancier for stage.
Danielle: This shirt right here is very special and important,
'cause you wore this on stage.
How do you feel about... 125 on this?
Wayne: That's fine.
Danielle: That's a great shirt.
Wayne: That coat's got a lot of history on the
Grand ole opry stage, that's...
Danielle: Oh wow.
Wayne: Roy acuff's, it's got his name in here...
Robbie: Who?
Wayne: ...When he had it, roy acuff.
Robbie: Right here.
Wayne: Yeah, that was his coat.
Wayne: Of course, I didn't play with roy,
But he was, he was always willing to help,
You know.
The first time I went to the grand ole opry,
I met him in tootsie's and I told him I was,
You know, I was just about 18, and I was playing the
Fiddle and I wanted to get started.
And he said, "well come on back stage with me here,
And meet people."
You know, just like that. And he did.
He was, he was a gentleman.
Robbie: Acuff.
Danielle: This is roy acuff's coat.
Wayne: Yeah.
Danielle: He liked that christian dior.
What's in the pocket? Ooh...
Clent: Hang on, I didn't check them pockets.
Danielle: Look at that.
Robbie: [laughs] that's the tag.
Danielle: This is the receipt.
Robbie: There it is.
Clent: Wow.
Danielle: Provenance is really important with
Any sort of vintage.
And this piece actually has the original receipt from
The auction where it was purchased.
Danielle: What was the price, I wonder?
200 bucks. That was it, 200 bucks.
Wayne: 200.
Danielle: Not only that, but it also has a note,
A handwritten note from the original
Purchaser to wayne jerrolds.
Danielle: "may you enjoy this item as
Much as we enjoyed buying it.
Gerry walls and family."
Robbie: Yeah.
Wayne: He gave me this and I gave him an amplifier,
So we just traded.
Robbie: Oh that's funny.
Danielle: Is this something you're going to hold onto or
You, are you planning on letting that go?
Wayne: What could I get for them?
Clent: Make him an offer, he says.
Danielle: Well this one, 200 is what it was valued it.
Wayne: Yeah. It should be going up $50.
Danielle: I'm going to offer you 350.
Wayne: That's fine.
Danielle: 350 sounds good?
Wayne: Yeah, yes.
Danielle: The nashville store is the perfect place
To display a historic piece like this.
Danielle: Well this is my speed right here-
Wayne: Well... That there back on the wall,
That's what bill monroe made me wear,
He bought that for me.
Wayne: Of course, bill monroe's the father of bluegrass,
No question about that.
Robbie: This one...
Danielle: This- this is the suit you wore on stage at the...
Robbie: Yeah, yeah.
Wayne: Yeah, I wore that on the stage at the
Grand ole opry many times.
So that what he, the way he dressed,
This right there. [laughs]
Robbie: Yeah.
Danielle: See, that's beautiful too.
Wayne: Playing at the grand ole opry was about
Too much for me, especially the first time. [laughs]
Getting to do something I always wanted to do and now's
My big chance and if I mess up, well probably never get to go
On, but I made it and stayed with him a long time
And had a good relationship with him.
Danielle: These are incredible pieces of history and...
Robbie: Yeah.
Wayne: Yeah, I doubt it.
Danielle: ...I always got to look in the pockets. [laughs]
You never know what's in there.
It's my favorite part.
Wayne: ...Feel around, maybe.
Danielle: I'm going to offer you 350 for this right here.
Wayne: That's good.
Danielle: Beautiful. Ohh...
Wayne: Good.
Danielle: These are going to look so great in the shop.
Danielle: So maybe not everybody
Knows wayne jerrolds, right?
But everybody knows the grand ole opry.
And the fact that he wore these items playing at the
Grand ole opry, that makes it all worthwhile.

It's been repainted for sure.

He's been over in mexico about 40 year ago.
Danielle: About 40 years ago, huh.
I love it, it's incredible.

Wayne: Yeah.
Danielle: How much you got to have for this one? So...

Danielle: The musician's not going play this guitar.
This guitar is toast.
But it's a beautiful statement piece.

Robbie: Yeah.
But wrote the movie after him, this is the real deal,
This is the guy.
Wayne: Yeah, that's him.
Robbie: That's him.
Robbie: Buford pusser was a legend in the south.
He was a one -man army.
When it came to gambling, prostitution,
He busted up more moonshine stills between the tennessee and
The mississippi border than any man in history.
Robbie: And this is his... Sheriff?
Wayne: That was the deputy.
Robbie: Deputy.
Clent: Deputy.
Wayne: Yeah.
He brought me that jug that he got at a still,
When he was with buford.
Robbie: He brought that jug.
Wayne: Yeah.
I paid him something for it, wasn't much.
Robbie: This is a jug that came from one of
The moonshine raids that pusser busted up.
Robbie: It had moonshine in it.
Wayne: Well yeah it had, they poured it out.
Robbie: Yeah.
Wayne: But he gave him his picture along with it.
Robbie: Yeah?
Clent: Now he inspired the movie walking tall with the rock.
Wayne: See I got to play the fiddle in the movie.
Robbie: You were in the movie?
That's why he brought you this stuff.
Clent: Yeah.
Wayne: Yeah.
Robbie: Is this something you'd sell?
Wayne: Yeah, I'd sell it.

Hannah: Let's go into the main part of the house and
I've got a bunch of things that I know you will like.
Jersey jon: Cool.
Jersey jon: Whoa, look at this thing!
Chest of drawers.
Beautiful. Moravian.
Hannah: Moravian.
You know your furniture.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Hannah: Um this is a piece that was de-accessioned from
Mesda: The museum of early southern decorative arts.
Jersey jon: You got something out of mesda?
Hannah: Yeah, I think once in a while they just have,
They rearrange their priorities and they auction...
Mike: What are we looking at here, jersey?
Jersey jon: This is a piece of um...
Moravian furniture, probably revolutionary war period.
Jersey jon: So the moravian cabinet makers came down from
The pennsylvania dutch country, and they were
Settling into the piedmont plains in north carolina.
But they're highly skilled cabinet makers.
Jersey jon: Wow, you just don't ever see this stuff,
Mike, not in the wild, like in somebody's house.
Really something else.
Hannah: I think he likes it. [laughs]
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: Yeah!
Hannah: Moravian furniture is surely specific to this region.
We have some moravian churches, and...
Kendall: Oh there's moravian sugar cake,
And there's moravian spice cookies,
Which are very tasty.
Hannah: Oh yeah, ohh yeah.
Jersey jon: This is pretty cool.
And this is neat, because it's got all the
Right stuff going on.
These are oak secondaries on the crown drawers,
The back you can see like it's all like scrubbed plain.
It's almost carved with an axe.
This is like early primitive southern furniture.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: Nice dovetails on the bottom.
This is all southern yellow pine.
Mike: Okay.
Jersey jon: The longleaf pine.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: It's, you know, so far everything looks like,
It's got- it's hitting all the bells and whistles, man.
I mean...
Mike: Do you want-
Jersey jon: George washington could have put
His clothes in this thing, at least in theory.
[group laughing]
Jersey jon: You know?
Mike: I mean, do you want us to leave you alone
With it for a second?
Jersey jon: Sure. [group laughing]
Mike: I love traveling with jersey,
Because as soon as he sees like a piece of furniture or
Basically anything, he starts deconstructing it
And telling you what time period it was made,
What kind of wood it is.
And it's never a dull moment with the guy.
Jersey jon: It's so cool to see something like this.
Mike: And what's it worth?
Jersey jon: Um...
Off the top of my head, because it's piedmont,
North carolina, kneejerk price, I'm thinking it's probably...
7- $8,000 at auction.
It could probably go 10 grand.
Mike: Really.
Jersey jon: Yeah. This is serious, dude.
This is a serious piece of furniture.
Mike: I love this.
Jersey jon: I'd love to buy it!
Mike: I love, I love this... I love this moment for you, jon.
Jersey jon: Yeah. Hannah: Yeah, I do too.
Hannah: I love it for me too.
Jersey jon: So is it for sale?
Hannah: Well I don't know... [laughs] umm...
Now that you've talked it up so much, you know.
[group laughing]
Hannah: How could I possibly part with it?
[laughs]
Jersey jon: I probably should- I probably just should
Have said, oh man this is a depression era piece of
Furniture, but of course you know what you're talking about,
I love that about you.
Hannah: I'm sorry. [laughs]
Mike: Alright. Can we look in here?
Hannah: Yeah sure.
Mike: You want to, you want to be alone with that?
Hannah: Yeah.
Jersey jon: I- I'll just stay out here for a little bit.
Mike: Alright. I see that.
Look in here thought, jon...
Hannah: Okay.
Mike: ...I think you're going to like some of this,
There's more furniture.
Jersey jon: Alright, alright, I'm coming, I'm coming.
Mike: Walking into this room, you can see how the furniture is
Positioned, all of the pottery on the wall,
The weathervane.
Everything is curated in a way that bill could enjoy it.
That is the beauty of life, that is the american dream,
To work hard, to collect, to enjoy
Your space that you create.
Mike: This... I mean, to me...
Hannah: Um-hm.
Mike: I mean, I know there's a lot of amazing things in here,
This is one of the most striking in this room.
I mean that's... Unbelievable.
Hannah: Oh I agree. Yeah.
Mike: Now this is the first room that I'm walking into,
That I'm really feeling connected to bill.
Mike: Ahh...
Hannah: I...
Jersey jon: Wow that is cool, look at that.
Is that tin?
Mike: Yeah, it's like a pot metal.
Jersey jon: What is that, mike?
Mike: It's a radiator, radiator cap.
Jersey jon: It's a car piece?
Mike: Yeah, it's a car piece, oh yeah. It spins.
Jersey jon: [laughs] that is awesome.
Mike: 1920s police officer hood ornament whirligig.
Imagine this thing going down the road on your
Car spinning and flying and directing traffic.
It's very cool.
Hannah: I think his dad might have bought that.
I'm not sure.
Mike: Okay.
Would you sell this?
I mean, I'd be into it for 300.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Mike: Why don't we do this?
Why don't you just think about it?
Hannah: Yeah, okay.
Mike: Think about that a little bit.
Hannah: Alright.
Mike: I mean, let's look at everything
That's in this cabinet...
Jersey jon: What else is in there, mike?
Mike: I mean, a lot of stuff. Jersey, look at this.
That's oddfellows, look.
Jersey jon: Oddfellows, yeah man.
Mike: Oddfellows.
Jersey jon: Yep, yep.
Mike: Swagger stick, riding crop,
Whatever you want to call it.
If you have something like this in your hand,
[laughs] all of a sudden you become a person of authority.
Mike: Look at the skull and crossbones.
Jersey jon: Oh yeah, look at that.
Mike: It's an oddfellows piece, it's got a skull and crossbones.
There's a hand at the very bottom that
Kind of grabs the stick itself.
It's just a really unique piece of art that's handmade,
Hand-carved, with great subject matter.
I love it.
Hannah: That might have been one of bill's dad's things.
He was a collector too.
Mike: Oh his dad was a big collector.
Hannah: Oh yeah, because that's where bill got the bug.
Hannah: One of the reasons that bill was so
Eager to collector nice things or repair them.
He tried to make his dad proud of him, you know.
Mike: Would this be something you'd sell?
The swagger stick.
Hannah: Yeah, I think so.
Mike: You know I mean, it's oddfellows, which is great.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Mike: It does have a little bit of damage
And everything, but it's old so what doesn't.
200 bucks.

What would you say, 1,500?

Everything about this thing is solid.
It's definitely a moravian piece of furniture
From the revolutionary war.
Jersey jon: I...
I'm probably never going to see a piece of
Furniture like this again.
Hannah: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: You know, the auction price is going
To be 8 to $10,000 on this thing.
You know, I would do the 8.
I'd give you 8 grand for this thing.
Hannah: That's a generous offer, but I would really
Have to talk to my family.
Because this was bill's, clearly one of his favorite pieces.
Jersey jon: Absolutely.
Hannah: I would definitely have to...
Talk to my children.
Jersey jon: I understand.
I mean, bill, I wish I'd met the guy.
Hannah: Yeah.
Jersey jon: But through this piece of furniture I feel as
Though I know him a little bit.
Because he understood what this was,
It's really unusual to find somebody who had the passion...
Hannah: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: ...For furniture that I do.
Hannah: Well I really wish you could have met him,
And you would have had...
[group laughing]
Jersey jon: Yeah, we would have been here for days.
Hannah: Yeah.
Mike: Alright jersey, pull yourself away from that piece.
Get away from it!
[group laughing]
Jersey jon: Thanks, mike.
Mike: Bill was a guy that had a lot of layers to his collection.
He was a southerner by birth, but he spent a
Tremendous amount of time in his life on the east coast.
For us to be able to walk into a pick and
Have 2 different extremes, it was so cool.
Jersey jon: Come on, man!
Mike: Alright, here we go, baby!
Jersey jon: Come on, boy!
Mike: Oh yeah!
Kendall & hannah: Woo! [laughs]
Mike: Woo!
Hannah: He's still standing, yay!
Mike: Ahhh...
Kendall: Oh my gosh.
Mike: I can't wait to actually get that thing running.
Hannah: Ah!
Mike: Thank you for putting up with us.
Hannah: Oh...
Mike: Your husband had an incredible eye.
Mike: Bill had a lot of layers and all of those layers
Added up to an incredible life.
[honks horn]
Mike & jersey: Thank you!
Kendall: Thank you!
Hannah: [laughs]
