104
00:02:57,911 --> 00:02:58,443

other laboratories.

oh yeah.

MIKE: So you still have
contracts with them.
108
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,916
GARY: Back in the 1950s, Mr.
Hulcher worked at NASA.
109
00:03:04,118 --> 00:03:06,584
About that same time,
we were still trying to
110
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:08,587
put a satellite in space.
111
00:03:08,789 --> 00:03:09,922
Frequently launching rockets,
112
00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:12,457
but they were having
problems on the launch pad.
113
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:14,126
They were blowing up.
114
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:17,128
And Mr. Hulcher said, I can
develop a camera that will
115
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:20,932
take pictures so fast, it'll
do stop-action photography,
116
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:22,667
and you could see where
your problems are.
117
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:25,137
GARY: Finally someone said,
'we'll do it.' The next rocket
118
00:03:25,339 --> 00:03:29,207
launch, it blew up, they went
back and looked at the film in
119
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:33,011
sequence, and they could see
exactly what caused the blow-up.
120
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,345

121
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:34,946

123
00:03:35,749 --> 00:03:36,882
GARY: Cutting edge, right.
124
00:03:37,084 --> 00:03:39,884
MIKE: Charles Hulcher's
vision, his purpose,
125
00:03:39,954 --> 00:03:42,086
his inspiration, was
really about forensics.
126
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:44,956
He created something for the
space industry to visually
127
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:48,760
analyze a problem that
the human eye never could.
128
00:03:48,962 --> 00:03:50,562
GARY: A lot of people
would think that,
129
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:52,164
use that movie camera,
130
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:54,166
you could go back and just
pick out a scene and use that.
131
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:57,302
Not always possible, because
it'll most likely be blurry,
132
00:03:57,504 --> 00:03:58,637
gaps in between.
133
00:03:58,839 --> 00:03:59,972
GARY: At each
shuttle launch,
134
00:04:00,174 --> 00:04:02,040
they would set up the whole
panel of our cameras.
135
00:04:02,108 --> 00:04:05,377
All of them high-speed,
50-75 frames a second.
136
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:06,978
MIKE: Okay.
137
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:08,913
GARY: The film on that
cameras actually stops
138
00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:11,583
for a millionth of a
second, takes the photo,
139
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:12,784
it advances to the next one.
140
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:15,053
GARY: So it was absolutely
perfectly sharp.
141
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:18,590
Movie cameras, they're not
doing what our cameras would do.
142
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:20,259

Challenger exploded...
143
00:04:20,461 --> 00:04:21,860
MIKE: Yeah?
144

what happened by film
145
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:25,397

had the cameras there
149

that day when it blew up.
150
00:04:30,337 --> 00:04:31,670
They went back and looked at
the pictures and they could see
151
00:04:31,739 --> 00:04:33,805
where the O-ring was separating,
152
00:04:33,874 --> 00:04:36,341

caught on fire, yeah.

156
00:04:40,681 --> 00:04:41,346
to advance their technology.

the news spread pretty fast.
163
00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:09,174
The media wanted one,
the Air Force and Navy.
164
00:05:09,243 --> 00:05:11,776
There was such demand for the
camera, he retired from NASA,
165
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:14,045
started the Charles
Hulcher Company,
166
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:16,515
and started building the
high-speed sequence cameras.
167

GARY: Back in the
'60s, normal price for
168
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:20,251

169
00:05:20,321 --> 00:05:21,253

170
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:22,120

173
00:05:23,791 --> 00:05:24,589
GARY: Yeah.
174
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:25,590
MIKE: Yeah,

175
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:26,925
You were dealing with
very professional people.
176
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:29,861
GARY: Life Magazine,
Sports Illustrated...
177
00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:30,929
MIKE: Ah I didn't
even think about that.
178
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:34,066
GARY: Up to this time,
if you're trying to shoot
179
00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:37,202
stop-action of the guy catching
a pass, swinging a bat,
180
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:41,206
or a golf club, it was very
little equipment to work with.
181
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:44,142
Once the sports world found
out the Hulcher would do that,
182
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:47,545
oh my gosh, you know I mean,
we started getting orders,
183
00:05:47,614 --> 00:05:48,480
you know, like crazy.
184
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:50,082
We just couldn't keep up.
185
00:05:50,284 --> 00:05:52,150
MIKE: So all those images,
all those memories, you know,
186
00:05:52,219 --> 00:05:55,420
that we all kind of look back
through, and reminisce about.
187
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:56,355
GARY: Yeah.
Oh yeah.
188
00:05:56,557 --> 00:05:57,289
MIKE: You were the
guy helping with that!
189
00:05:57,491 --> 00:05:58,824
[group laughing]
190
00:05:58,892 --> 00:05:59,958
GARY: Yeah, I was
in on that, so yeah.
191
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,027
And we-we had a lot of fun
building them, you know.
192
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:04,829
At one time, there was 30
people here making parts.
193
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:07,566
Todd's dad, Richard,
he was shop foreman.
194
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:08,700
BETTY: Yeah,
he was here...
195
00:06:08,768 --> 00:06:09,634
MIKE: So you kind of grew
up around this place.
196
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,303
TODD: Yes, since
I was that tall.
197
00:06:11,505 --> 00:06:13,037
[group laughing]
198
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:14,105
MIKE: Well show me around
a little bit, I'm excited.
199
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:15,706
Let me see how you guys
make one of these things.
200
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:16,574
GARY: Sure I'll
give you a...
201
00:06:16,643 --> 00:06:17,642
TODD: Guys,
I got to go.
202
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:18,243
Mike, it was good meeting you.
203
00:06:18,445 --> 00:06:19,110
MIKE: Hey.
204
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,311
Good to meet you too, my friend.
205
00:06:20,381 --> 00:06:22,380
GARY: We would take the blank
of aluminum, like sheet metal.
206
00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:23,849
MIKE: Uh-huh.
207
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:25,650
GARY: Somebody would
be making the bottoms,
208
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:26,918
somebody would be
making the tops,
209
00:06:26,987 --> 00:06:28,253
somebody would be working
on the set of gears.
210
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:29,987
MIKE: Okay.
211
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:31,256
GARY: Eventually, it'll
all be welded together.
212
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:35,927
BETTY: First of all, we made the
70mm which was a wide film.
213
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:37,796
GARY: Actually had a guy
that was a NASA engineer,
214
00:06:37,864 --> 00:06:38,997
that did all of
our wiring for us.
215
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:42,533
BETTY: Then we started
making the 35mm because
216
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:44,803
the 70s were so heavy,
217
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:48,140
they just couldn't be
carried around very easily.
218
00:06:48,342 --> 00:06:51,876
And that's when these sports
people got so interested in it.
219
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:53,478
BETTY: Who was the
guy that... that hit-
220
00:06:53,547 --> 00:06:54,279
GARY: Mark
McGwire.
221
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:55,880
BETTY: Yeah.
222
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,348
When he was going to
go for the record...
223
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,549
MIKE: Yeah.
224
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:01,953
BETTY: They would send their
cameras to us, to load them,
225
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:05,824
and set everything, so all
they'd have to do was
226
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:07,358
pull the trigger and
take the picture...
227
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,693
MIKE: Really.
228
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:09,628
BETTY: when
they got there.
229
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:10,429
MIKE: Wow, they relied
on you guys that much.
230
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:11,429
BETTY: Yes, they did.
231
00:07:11,498 --> 00:07:12,830
GARY: Sure, yeah.
232
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:13,764
MIKE: To hear
about this first -hand,
233
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:14,699
from the people
that were actually
234
00:07:14,902 --> 00:07:17,502
there in the place
that it happened,
235
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:18,770
is pretty damn epic.
236
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:19,971
MIKE: So what's
going on with that?
237
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:21,706
You guys still using
this little cabinet here?
238
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:22,574
GARY: This was
our drill cabinet.
239
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,509
MIKE: Yeah, it's
really neat.
240
00:07:24,578 --> 00:07:25,510
GARY: Number
drills...
241
00:07:25,579 --> 00:07:26,378
MIKE: So there's still
drill bits in there.
242
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,312
GARY: Yeah.
243
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:28,246
MIKE: Are you guys
still utilizing this?
244
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:30,047
GARY: No, we don't
use that one anymore.
245
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,650
Most everybody has their
own little drill stand now.
246
00:07:32,719 --> 00:07:33,718
MIKE: Did you
make this here?
247
00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:34,653
GARY: That was
made here, yes.
248
00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:36,588
BETTY: We made
everything.
249
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:37,388
MIKE: No kidding.
I see that.
250
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,923
BETTY: [laughs]
251
00:07:38,992 --> 00:07:39,591
MIKE: Well I mean, was
that-is that something
252
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:41,326
you'd consider selling?
253
00:07:41,395 --> 00:07:42,193
GARY: Sure yeah.
254
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:42,861
MIKE: I mean, that's
something that
255
00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:43,662
somebody could still utilize.
256
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:45,129
It's just got a
great look to it.
257
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,932
It's worn, the paint on the
sides of it and everything.
258
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:49,734
I mean, it's not big
deal to make back then,
259
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:52,136
but now it's just
got so much age.
260
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:54,339
Plus, to be honest with you,
the story of where it came from.
261
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:56,274
GARY: True, yeah.
262
00:07:56,342 --> 00:07:57,942
MIKE: If you'd consider selling
it, so it's actually 2 pieces,
263
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:01,880
one stacked on top of
the other, I'd pay...
264
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:05,283
like 250 bucks, for
both cabinets, you know.
265
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,985
Like 125 apiece.
266
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,354
GARY: If you take the drill
bits out, we can do that.
267
00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:11,423
MIKE: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't
need any of the drill bits.
268
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:12,290
GARY:
Yeah. Yeah.
269
00:08:12,358 --> 00:08:13,091
MIKE: But I would
love to have it,
270
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,826
just because it's
always been here,
271
00:08:14,894 --> 00:08:16,561
and it's just got
a great look to it.
272
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:17,996
Thank you, my friend.

DANIELLE: I'll grab
the other pieces.
286
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:46,724
So here's the full collection.
287
00:08:46,793 --> 00:08:48,793
We got this in
Pennsylvania from a
288
00:08:48,996 --> 00:08:51,596
lady whose late husband
was a radio DJ.
289
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:52,797
DANIELLE:
Check this out.
290
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,132
DENISE: And here's
the poster for it.
291
00:08:54,334 --> 00:08:56,133
DANIELLE: This cover didn't make
it, because the label thought
292
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:59,537
the subject matter was too
delicate for American audiences.
293
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:01,205
[gasp!]
Clutches pearls.
294
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:03,942
DANIELLE: If we take this and
we find out that it's worth an
295
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:06,677
exorbitant amount of
money, I will contact you,
296
00:09:06,746 --> 00:09:07,679
and make sure to
make that right.
297
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:10,415
But I feel like 1,200 is fair.
298
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:11,749
DENISE: I'll do it.
299
00:09:11,818 --> 00:09:12,683
DANIELLE: Yeah,
oh I'm so excited.
300
00:09:12,752 --> 00:09:13,952
DENISE: Yeah,
you got a deal.
301
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:15,620
ROB: This is a, a whole
package from what's
302
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:16,955
known as the 'butcher cover'.
303
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:19,557
Which was the Beatles -
Yesterday and Today album,
304
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:20,892
that came out in 1966.
305
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:23,561
The butcher cover name
comes from, obviously,
306
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:25,430
the shocking picture...
307
00:09:25,499 --> 00:09:27,032
Danielle: [laughing]
308
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,165
ROB: that they decided
to put on this release.
309
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,969
When this got sent out to
radio stations and reviewers,
310
00:09:31,171 --> 00:09:33,904
they quickly realized they
had made a big mistake.
311
00:09:33,974 --> 00:09:35,573
Moms weren't going to
want to see this on
312
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:37,908
their kids record player.
313
00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:39,043
DANIELLE: Somebody
messed up in marketing.
314
00:09:39,112 --> 00:09:41,646
ROB: Remember, this is the
mid-'60s, and the Beatles.
315
00:09:41,715 --> 00:09:42,246
DANIELLE: It's pretty macabre.
316
00:09:42,316 --> 00:09:42,714
ROB: Yes.
317
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,181
Danielle: [laughs]
318
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:45,717
ROB: They recalled the record,
covered up the butcher with
319
00:09:45,786 --> 00:09:47,986
what's known as
the 'trunk cover',
320
00:09:48,055 --> 00:09:49,988
which shows the band and
they're sitting on a trunk.
321
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,790
DANIELLE: So they just
slapped some glue on it
322
00:09:51,992 --> 00:09:52,390
and put a different
picture on the top.
323
00:09:52,458 --> 00:09:53,658
ROB: Exactly.
324
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:55,060
When it comes to
the butcher cover,
325
00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:57,128
there's 3 different versions
that we'd be looking at.
326
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,931
What's known as a third state
would be a record that had
327
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:03,401
this covered up, and was
peeled off, by a consumer.
328
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:04,803
DANIELLE: Okay.
329
00:10:04,871 --> 00:10:06,605
ROB: People knew
pretty quickly that
330
00:10:06,807 --> 00:10:08,073
this picture was under here.
331
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:10,875
There was an industry even
evolved loosely around peeling
332
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:13,144
the cover off, you could
hold it over your stove-
333
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,946
DANIELLE: What do you mean,
industry revolved around it-
334
00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:16,547
like people just trying to
figure out different
335
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:18,283
ways to peel the cover?
336
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:19,350
ROB: Yes.
337
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:22,086
Because especially at that
time, the glue hadn't set,
338
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:25,356
it was not terribly difficult
to get them peeled off.
339
00:10:25,425 --> 00:10:26,290
DANIELLE: Gotcha.
340
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,759
ROB: The second state has
what's known as a
341
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:29,960
paste-over that
was put over this.
342
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:32,563
You'll see through the
cover, you'll see the V
343
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:33,965
of Ringo's sweater here.
344
00:10:34,167 --> 00:10:36,233
DANIELLE: 'Cause there's
so much white on the cover.
345
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:37,034
Okay.
346
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:37,769
ROB: Yeah, it's a
white background,
347
00:10:37,838 --> 00:10:38,769
you can pretty clearly see it,
348
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:40,905
especially at an
angle or with light.
349
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,574
A first state is what
would come directly
350
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,376
from the record label...
351
00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:46,444
DANIELLE: Yeah.
352
00:10:46,512 --> 00:10:47,846
ROB: to a reviewer
or to a radio station.
353
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:51,783
That was done prior to
the release in 1966.
354
00:10:51,851 --> 00:10:53,518
Those are your most
valuable copies.
355
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:54,919
DANIELLE: So it was...
356
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:55,386
ROB: Because they never
had the paste-over.
357
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:56,721
DANIELLE: Aha!
358
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:58,589
That answers like,
so many questions
359
00:10:58,659 --> 00:10:59,724
I've had about all of this.
360
00:10:59,926 --> 00:11:01,926
ROB: In perfect
condition, you know,
361
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:04,128
a first state and a
nice original poster,
362
00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:08,332
you're probably looking at
about a $20,000 value on this.
363
00:11:08,402 --> 00:11:09,534
DANIELLE: Ohh...
364
00:11:09,603 --> 00:11:11,002
ROB: Unfortunately, what you
have here is a third state.
365
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:18,143
DANIELLE: Are you
sure? [laughs]
366
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:20,078
ROB: Yeah, it's-you can tell,
I hate to be the bearer of bad
367
00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:24,149
news, but when you see the
residue here from glue,
368
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:27,018
people would steam them over a
kettle to loosen the glue and
369
00:11:27,087 --> 00:11:30,354
peel it off, but there's
usually some telltale residue...
370
00:11:30,424 --> 00:11:31,022
DANIELLE: Okay.
371
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:31,756
ROB: that you'll find.
372
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:33,424
Also the issues
around the edge...
373
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:34,893
DANIELLE: Yeah.
374
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:35,426
ROB: are indicative
of somebody trying
375
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:37,161
to make the peel.
376
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:39,497
DANIELLE: Ohh, I never thought
about that, that makes sense,
377
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:40,365
this part right here.
378
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:40,765
ROB: Um-hm.
379
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,033
DANIELLE: Okay.
380
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:43,301
ROB: You know, any record
could have some damage on it,
381
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:47,438
but it shows pretty clearly
to me that it has been peeled.
382
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:48,372
DANIELLE: Okay.
383
00:11:48,442 --> 00:11:51,576
So, this one definitely
is a third state...
384
00:11:51,645 --> 00:11:52,376
ROB: In my
opinion, yes.
385
00:11:52,446 --> 00:11:54,245
DANIELLE: Okay.
386
00:11:54,313 --> 00:11:56,914
We picked this one thinking it
was a first state because the
387
00:11:56,983 --> 00:11:58,315
gentleman worked for a
local radio station...
388
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,184
ROB: Um-hm.
389
00:12:00,253 --> 00:12:01,653
DANIELLE: and he got a lot
of those promotional items in
390
00:12:01,855 --> 00:12:03,788
and so we assumed
that... this...
391
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:05,656
hah, I'll take
responsibility for this...
392
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:06,857
ROB: That this
was one of them.
393
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:07,525
DANIELLE: I assumed
that this would
394
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:08,193
have been an original.
395
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:09,727
ROB: Yes.
396
00:12:09,796 --> 00:12:10,728
But that's not the
end of the world,
397
00:12:10,797 --> 00:12:11,662
it's still a very
desirable record.
398
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:12,931
DANIELLE: Uughh,
okay. Alright.
399
00:12:12,999 --> 00:12:15,800
ROB: Now when you look at your
poster here, unfortunately,
400
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:18,937
you're missing the
Capitol logo here,
401
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,873
which is indicative
of an original poster,
402
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:23,741
that would have been
from that time period.
403
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:26,076
DANIELLE: Uuhhmm...
my heart. Heh...
404
00:12:26,146 --> 00:12:29,948
ROB: This is likely something
from the, from the '70s,
405
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:32,350
that would have been sold
in record stores, or...
406
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:33,551
DANIELLE: Dang it.
407
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:36,154
Okay, so you're telling me
this is also not original.
408
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,688
And-and I don't, the only
reason that I question that is
409
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,891
'cause we have an
original letter.
410
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,693
ROB: Okay, yeah let's
talk about the letter.
411
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:44,829
I haven't looked
at it too closely.
412
00:12:44,898 --> 00:12:48,833
The letter itself was
often photocopied,
413
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:50,368
I mean, all you have
to do is go to a...
414
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:51,169
DANIELLE: Oh stop.
415
00:12:51,371 --> 00:12:52,369
ROB: Go, go to a
photocopy machine.
416
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,771
DANIELLE: How...
417
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,973
ROB: If you look
here, the letterhead,
418
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:59,176
see the 'Hollywood and
Vine', the printing here,
419
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:03,381
and that the 'Executive and
General Office', how it's faded.
420
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:05,049
DANIELLE: Yeah.
421
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:05,716
ROB: Cut off, almost. An
original letter is going to
422
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:07,652
have a crisp letterhead.
423
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,987
DANIELLE: Ah...
ROB: Um...
424
00:13:10,056 --> 00:13:11,455
DANIELLE: I thought for
sure this would be legit.
425
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:13,658
I paid 1,200 bucks.
426
00:13:13,727 --> 00:13:15,326
Will I at least see that back?
427
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:16,528
ROB: Umm...
428
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:17,862
I'm afraid on this deal,
429
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:19,597
you're probably going to
lose a little bit.
430
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:20,999
DANIELLE:
Alright, alright.
431
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:22,734
ROB: As a collection, it's
still a nice package
432
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,002
to have all 3 of these together.
433
00:13:25,071 --> 00:13:28,006
I think all together you'd
be looking at about $700.
434
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:29,807
DANIELLE: Hooh...
435
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:31,409
that's better than
nothing, I suppose.
436
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:32,410
ROB: Absolutely.
437
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:34,212
DANIELLE: This one felt
like such a secure gamble,
438
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,082
I- and I-I wish I had this
knowledge before I picked it.
439
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,083
ROB: Well, you'll know the
next time you're out there.
440
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:40,351
DANIELLE: Right. We
pay for our education.
441
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:41,753
At least...
442
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:43,888
look it's still history,
it's the Beatles.
443
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:46,558
It's a cool story, just even
to be in the shop,
444
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,092
you know, to put it together.
445
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,893
ROB: Oh it'll be, it's great
to have it in the shop.
446
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:50,694
DANIELLE: Rob,
thank you so much.
447
00:13:50,763 --> 00:13:51,896
It wasn't what I
wanted to hear...
448
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:53,698
DANIELLE: but I
appreciate your knowledge.
449
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:54,632
ROB: You bet.
Happy to help.
450
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,000

walk you out.

I finally get one in my hands.
468
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:24,862
You can really feel the weight
and the engineering behind it.
469
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:27,665

about 1958 or '59.

it's that early.

474
00:14:33,339 --> 00:14:34,339
So if I pull this
button, it clicks once.

I love this guy.
501

because you know I mean,
502
00:15:12,712 --> 00:15:13,844
over the years, obviously,
503
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:14,312
I've found old cameras

MIKE: But I've never
found one of these,
506
00:15:17,049 --> 00:15:17,915
I've never seen one of
these, just because it
507
00:15:17,984 --> 00:15:19,316

was commercial use.

design this grip?
510
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:24,855
GARY: These are WW-2
aircraft machine gun handles.
511

buying old surplus,
512

these old machine gun...?
513
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:28,792
GARY: Mr. Hulcher bought
them from the Navy and
514
00:15:28,861 --> 00:15:30,395
the Air Force, but
get them in boxes.
515
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:31,862
Mike: [laughs] Yeah.
516
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:32,730
GARY: Although the boxes,
they're packed-
517
00:15:32,798 --> 00:15:34,532
they're packed in
1943 newspapers.
518
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:36,067
MIKE: Yeah.
GARY: Yeah.
519
00:15:36,135 --> 00:15:38,002
MIKE: That's cool you were
able to repurpose them.
520
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:39,337
GARY: With the same
trigger switch... why not...
521
00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:40,605
MIKE: Yeah, yeah.
522
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:41,739
The same trigger switch.
523
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:42,740
GARY: Same trigger
switch. Yeah.
524
00:15:42,809 --> 00:15:43,874
[Mike makes machine gun noises}
525
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,543
MIKE: It's still shooting
fast, but it's...
526
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:46,543
MIKE & GARY:
[laughs]
527
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:48,079
MIKE: it's shooting film!
That's super cool.
528
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:51,015
MIKE: I love the way Charles
Hulcher's mind worked.
529
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:52,816
If he didn't need to make
it, and he could repurpose
530
00:15:52,885 --> 00:15:54,685
something, then that's
what he would do.
531
00:15:55,021 --> 00:15:56,688
GARY: There was one
other company that built
532
00:15:56,890 --> 00:15:59,023
a high-speed camera,
but it was huge.
533
00:15:59,092 --> 00:16:01,759
Not something you could carry
around to a sports site.
534
00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:04,561
Mostly for scientific
use in labs.
535
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:05,563
BETTY: Very
expensive.
536
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:06,563
GARY: Very
expensive.
537
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:07,765
You're talking 10 times
what ours cost, yeah.
538
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,701
Mr. Hulcher, he could
see how to move
539
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:12,003
the film faster than anybody.
540
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:26,851
MIKE: Sure there were other
high-speed cameras around
541
00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:29,119
before Hulcher, but they
were either too massive,
542
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:32,923
or they burned through way
too much film. His genius was
543
00:16:32,993 --> 00:16:34,992
making one that was both
portable and practical.
544
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:38,662
And because of that, it
became the gold standard.
545
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:40,798
MIKE: This is kind of
the bone yard right here,
546
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:41,532
but do you have any
cameras that are
547
00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:42,734
more complete than this?
548
00:16:42,936 --> 00:16:43,267
GARY: Sure, let's
go up to the attic.
549
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,003
MIKE: Okay.
550
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:46,738
BETTY: Tell you what, you
all go up in the attic,
551
00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:48,673
it's too hot up there for me.
552
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:49,406
MIKE: Okay. [laughs]
Okay.
553
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:52,810
[phone ringing]
554
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:53,678
DANIELLE: Hey,
what's up, brother?
555
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,545
ROBBIE (ON PHONE):
What's going on?
556
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:55,412
Are you in the shop?
557
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:56,948
DANIELLE: Yeah.
558
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:57,615
ROBBIE (ON PHONE): Okay.
This Tom Noonan guy
559
00:16:57,684 --> 00:16:59,683
has been blowing my phone up
560
00:16:59,752 --> 00:17:02,153
about that Paul Stanley stuff.
561
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:03,888
MIKE: So this is the original
piece of artwork that they
562
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:06,356
drew before they actually
made the piece.
563
00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:07,358
WAYNE: Right.
564
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:08,358
MIKE: Alright, so there's
2 of them, and then...
565
00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:08,893
WAYNE: I have-
566
00:17:09,095 --> 00:17:09,961
MIKE: the other one.
567
00:17:10,163 --> 00:17:10,894
ROBBIE: We'll have to
climb up there and get it.
568
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:11,695
MIKE: We'll have to
climb up and get.
569
00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:12,630
DANIELLE: Like
what do you mean,
570
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:14,165
blowing your phone up about it?
571
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:15,366
ROBBIE (ON PHONE): I don't
know if that's good news or if
572
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:17,568
that's bad news, but he said
he's an hour away from you.
573
00:17:17,637 --> 00:17:18,836
He just sent me a text,
574
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:20,638
he's wanting to make
sure you were there.
575
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,173
DANIELLE: Nice.
Okay perfect.
576
00:17:22,242 --> 00:17:24,709
So he'll be here in about an
hour, I'm here right now, yeah.
577
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:26,043
I'll be here all
day. I just...
578
00:17:26,112 --> 00:17:29,713
I just finished up this
appraisal for the Beatles -
579
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:31,315
Yesterday and Today collection.
580
00:17:31,518 --> 00:17:32,983
ROBBIE: Yeah?
581
00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:34,652
DANIELLE: Yeah. You want to
hear some news on it?
582
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:36,053
ROBBIE: Let's hear
the good news.
583
00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:37,454
DANIELLE: No, it's really
not good at all, actually.
584
00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:40,658
We took a hit, man.
585
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,127
ROBBIE: What do
you mean by 'we'?
586
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:44,529
ROBBIE: If I was a Beatles
guy, I'd have to have this.
587
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:45,863
DANIELLE:
Absolutely. Same.
588
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:46,864
ROBBIE: I'd just have
to have it, you know.
589
00:17:46,933 --> 00:17:48,332
DANIELLE: I really think
we could get 2,000.
590
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:50,201
ROBBIE: Yeah.
591
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:53,337
ROB: I think all together,
you'd be looking at about $700.
592
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:54,872
DANIELLE: Hooh...
593
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:56,741
DANIELLE: Yeah,
I took a dive. It sucks.
594
00:17:56,809 --> 00:17:58,543
It's not good.
I'm about to cry.
595
00:17:58,745 --> 00:17:59,743
I feel bad about myself.
596
00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:00,744
ROBBIE (ON PHONE):
Well, don't cry.
597
00:18:00,814 --> 00:18:02,012
Mistakes are made
every day, I mean,
598
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,548
hey that's part of picking,
that's Picking 101,
599
00:18:04,617 --> 00:18:05,549
that's how you learn.
600
00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:07,685
DANIELLE: It hurts! It
hurts! I don't like it!
601
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:08,753
ROBBIE (ON PHONE):
I know it hurts.
602
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:10,621
Hopefully Tom Noonan can lighten
603
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:12,089
your day a little bit more.
604
00:18:12,158 --> 00:18:13,157
DANIELLE: Nah, you know what,
you're absolutely right.
605
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,025
We'll talk to him about
the Paul Stanley stuff.
606

ROBBIE (ON PHONE): Let me
know how things go with Tom.
607

I got to get back to work.
608

DANIELLE: Thanks
for cheering me up.

talk to you later.

DANIELLE: So how long have
you been knowing Robbie?
622
00:18:44,858 --> 00:18:45,856
TOM: I've known him
for quite a while.
623
00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:47,591
I bought a sign from
him, a Griesedieck sign.
624
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:49,193
And I put it in my brewery.
625
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:51,395
It's actually a brewery-museum.
I'm a collector of breweriana.
626
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:52,396
DANIELLE: Yeah.
627
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:53,864
TOM: Beer stuff.
628
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,133
I've been doing it
for about 50 years.
629
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:56,801
DANIELLE: Oh. So you've been
knowing him long enough for him
630
00:18:56,869 --> 00:18:58,736
to owe you some
money then, right?
631
00:18:58,938 --> 00:18:59,470
TOM: Pretty much,
yeah, yeah, yeah...
632
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:00,538
DANIELLE: [laughs]
633
00:19:00,607 --> 00:19:01,872
TOM: Oh wow, look
at this.
634
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:02,339
DANIELLE: Well,
you'll love this one.
635
00:19:02,408 --> 00:19:03,207
TOM: Oh yes.
636
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,008
DANIELLE: This is
the Lone Star one.
637
00:19:04,077 --> 00:19:05,542
TOM: This is great.
It's concept art.
638
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:06,544
MIKE: What
are these?
639
00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:08,879
WAYNE: Paul Stanley,
hand-painted drawings.
640
00:19:08,948 --> 00:19:10,681
MIKE: If you're an
advertising collector,
641
00:19:10,749 --> 00:19:12,749
you know who Paul Stanley is.
642
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,818
WAYNE: He made
advertisements that
643
00:19:14,888 --> 00:19:16,887
were all mechanical,
some 6, 7 feet tall.
644
00:19:16,956 --> 00:19:18,689
MIKE: So how large was
this original piece?
645
00:19:18,757 --> 00:19:20,624
WAYNE: Uh, stand
about that high.
646
00:19:20,693 --> 00:19:22,359
What do you offer for the 3?
647
00:19:22,428 --> 00:19:23,427
MIKE: 900 bucks.
648
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:24,562
WAYNE:
That's fine.
649
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:25,163
ROBBIE:
That'd work?
650
00:19:25,365 --> 00:19:25,563
MIKE: You want
to do that?
651
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:26,297
300 apiece?
652
00:19:26,366 --> 00:19:27,097
WAYNE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Alright.
653
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:27,564
MIKE: Okay,
brother, thank you.
654
00:19:27,633 --> 00:19:28,832
ROBBIE: Awesome.
655
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:29,567
TOM: The Paul Stanley
Company, you know,
656
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:30,635
was a motion display company.
657
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:32,903
Out of San Francisco,
founded in like the 1940s.
658
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:35,973
They operated until
about the late 1960s,
659
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,441
and they made these big
motion display pieces,
660
00:19:37,644 --> 00:19:38,375
point-of-sale pieces.
661
00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:39,977
DANIELLE: Right.
662
00:19:40,046 --> 00:19:40,578
TOM: They made them for
Lone Star, and Hamms,
663
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:41,979
and even Burgie Beer.
664
00:19:42,048 --> 00:19:44,048
They're very large, kind
of hard to move around.
665
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:44,982
DANIELLE: How large? Like
how big are we talking?
666
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:46,383
TOM: Well some of them
were 10 feet tall.
667
00:19:46,452 --> 00:19:46,984
DANIELLE: Whoa!
668
00:19:47,052 --> 00:19:48,185
TOM: Right.
I think-
669
00:19:48,254 --> 00:19:49,720
DANIELLE: So basically you'd
walk into the grocery store,
670
00:19:49,789 --> 00:19:51,656
and you'd see this monkey on top
671
00:19:51,724 --> 00:19:52,923
of this Lone Star beer can...
672
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:55,326
TOM: Right. Now this sat
on a mass beer stack.
673
00:19:55,528 --> 00:19:56,794
DANIELLE: Yeah.
674
00:19:56,996 --> 00:19:57,528
TOM: So this sat on
top of probably all
675
00:19:57,596 --> 00:19:58,529
these cases of beer.
676
00:19:58,731 --> 00:19:59,263
DANIELLE: And it would be,
it would be going around.
677
00:19:59,332 --> 00:19:59,797
TOM: It'd be
going around.
678
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,198
DANIELLE: Yeah.
679
00:20:01,267 --> 00:20:02,132
TOM: And they would move it
around to different stores too.
680
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,667
DANIELLE: Would they
have made one of the
681
00:20:03,736 --> 00:20:06,737
monkey and the...
on the beer can?
682
00:20:06,806 --> 00:20:07,604
Or would they have
made multiples?
683
00:20:07,673 --> 00:20:08,606
TOM: They made
multiples.
684
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:09,673
DANIELLE:
Okay, gotcha.
685
00:20:09,742 --> 00:20:11,008
TOM: I believe
maybe 10 to 30.
686
00:20:11,076 --> 00:20:12,743
I've seen the Hamms, but
I've not seen this one.
687
00:20:12,811 --> 00:20:13,610
A lot of them didn't survive.
688
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:14,811
That's why I love these.
689
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:15,680
DANIELLE: It's great
that you can have
690
00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:18,349
3 completely separate brands.
691
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:19,217
TOM: Right.
692
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:20,417
DANIELLE: Yet they all
look like a family.
693
00:20:20,486 --> 00:20:21,285
They feel like a family, you
know what I mean, like...
694
00:20:21,354 --> 00:20:22,687
TOM: Right.
695
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:23,621
DANIELLE: You can
tell that the same
696
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:25,355
Paul Stanley Company did all 3.
697
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:26,824
TOM:
You can.
698
00:20:27,026 --> 00:20:27,958
When I first saw them,
I thought they were
699
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:30,761
watercolor, but they
look like color pencil.
700
00:20:30,829 --> 00:20:32,563
They actually have
the whirl marks,
701
00:20:32,765 --> 00:20:34,031
and actually how they move.
702
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:36,100
This is the artist conception
of this idea, right?
703
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:38,836
The brain-child for them to
come up with this display
704
00:20:39,038 --> 00:20:40,971
piece that they built
and put in a store.
705
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,707
This is a concept piece
that they drew for the
706
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:44,642
Paul Stanley Company
and to pitch it.
707
00:20:44,711 --> 00:20:45,976
DANIELLE: That's
incredible, man.
708
00:20:46,045 --> 00:20:48,979
It's... this is really just
the first step,
709
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:52,917
just one little piece to
this huge long process,
710
00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:56,120
of this actually being
made into a statue.
711
00:20:56,189 --> 00:20:58,055
TOM: Correct. This goes into
another category for collectors,
712
00:20:58,124 --> 00:21:00,324
that it's artwork, and not
just an advertising piece.
713
00:21:00,526 --> 00:21:01,992
'Cause it's both.
714
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:02,660
You know, it's artwork
for an advertising piece,
715
00:21:02,729 --> 00:21:04,462
which makes them so unique.
716
00:21:04,664 --> 00:21:05,395
Like this piece here.
717
00:21:05,464 --> 00:21:06,530
DANIELLE: Yeah.
718
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:08,865
TOM: Right? Now, I've seen
this display, in shows.
719
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:12,069
I've seen this large bear
with the Hamms.
720
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:14,672
The one I've seen though,
actually, these are all red,
721
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,741
the bear's got a red scarf,
722
00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:18,342
and these are all
different creatures.
723
00:21:18,544 --> 00:21:19,810
DANIELLE: Yeah.
724
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:20,678
TOM: This drawing
might not have been
725
00:21:20,746 --> 00:21:22,213
made exactly the way it is.
726
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,949
And this display piece, there's
probably 10 of those out there.
727
00:21:25,017 --> 00:21:25,749
DANIELLE: Oh, the actual
large display piece.
728
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:26,417
TOM: The actual
large display piece.
729
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:27,684
DANIELLE: Okay.
730
00:21:27,753 --> 00:21:28,819
TOM: With the guy
spinning around.
731
00:21:28,888 --> 00:21:30,954
This artwork, there's
only one of these.
732
00:21:31,024 --> 00:21:33,290
DANIELLE: [gasp] That hits
home. That hits home.
733
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,625
TOM: Yeah.
734
00:21:34,827 --> 00:21:35,893
DANIELLE: I want
a number on it.
735
00:21:35,962 --> 00:21:37,895
TOM: Now this one is probably
the most valuable of the 3,
736
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:40,164
because of the loyalty
of the Hamms collectors.
737
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:42,433
It's a little rough, but it's
amazing that it's still...
738
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:43,167
DANIELLE: Yeah.
739
00:21:43,369 --> 00:21:44,368
TOM: that it's
still even around.
740
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:48,038
I would say anywhere from
the low value of around 700,
741
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:50,774
and it could go as much as
1,000 in a-in an auction,
742
00:21:50,843 --> 00:21:52,443
because of all the
Hamms collectors.
743
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:53,577
DANIELLE: Okay.
744
00:21:53,646 --> 00:21:55,112
TOM: If you find the guy that
owns this actual display,
745
00:21:55,181 --> 00:21:57,048
he has it somewhere in his
house and he wants the actual
746
00:21:57,250 --> 00:22:01,385
design of that piece, this
guy's living it on this one.
747
00:22:01,454 --> 00:22:02,186
DANIELLE: Awesome.
748
00:22:02,255 --> 00:22:04,388
TOM: Now this one,
the Lone Star.
749
00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:05,389
DANIELLE: Yeah.
750
00:22:05,458 --> 00:22:08,058
TOM: Who doesn't like
a chimpanzee in a tutu,
751
00:22:08,127 --> 00:22:10,528
on roller-skates, circling
around a beer can, right?
752
00:22:10,730 --> 00:22:11,862
DANIELLE: I
know, right?
753
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:14,931
TOM: So in my opinion,
this would be 5, $600.
754
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,400
DANIELLE: So a lot of
this breweriana stuff
755
00:22:16,602 --> 00:22:17,334
is regional, right?
756
00:22:17,403 --> 00:22:18,402
TOM: Right.
757
00:22:18,471 --> 00:22:19,736
DANIELLE: So I can just
imagine what this would
758
00:22:19,805 --> 00:22:22,406
go for in Texas as
opposed to Iowa.
759
00:22:22,608 --> 00:22:23,808
TOM: Correct. Right.
760
00:22:23,876 --> 00:22:25,743
If this was in a Texas auction,
it would be considerably more.
761
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:27,678
DANIELLE: Good to
know, good to know.
762
00:22:27,747 --> 00:22:29,347
TOM: Now the last
one over here...
763
00:22:29,549 --> 00:22:30,080
DANIELLE: Yeah.
764
00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:30,748
TOM: The Hills
Brothers.
765
00:22:30,816 --> 00:22:31,482
DANIELLE:
Hills Brothers.
766
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:32,015
TOM: The
little bandit.
767
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:32,750
DANIELLE: Yeah.
768
00:22:32,819 --> 00:22:33,951
TOM: Yeah, I'm
not a coffee guy,
769
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:35,419
but I know some coffee
people, so I love this piec.
770
00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:36,353
DANIELLE: Yeah.
771
00:22:36,422 --> 00:22:37,088
TOM: I love it, I mean,
it's in great shape.
772
00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:37,821
DANIELLE:
The colors. [whistles]
773
00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:38,622
TOM: Look at
this little guy.
774
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:40,357
Now, I saw these
little arrows...
775
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:41,758
DANIELLE: Yeah.
776
00:22:41,827 --> 00:22:42,893
TOM: And I thought,
what's he do?
777
00:22:42,961 --> 00:22:45,095
Well down here, the
best part, it says,
778
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:50,034
'figure rotates 360 at 6 RPM.'
So basically, he rotates,
779
00:22:50,236 --> 00:22:52,436
and he goes down in the can,
so all you see is his hat.
780
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:53,570
DANIELLE: Yes! Ah!
781
00:22:53,639 --> 00:22:54,905
TOM: I love
this piece.
782
00:22:54,974 --> 00:22:56,707
And I have not been
able to find this piece
783
00:22:56,909 --> 00:22:58,642
anywhere in terms of
being out there.
784
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:59,577
DANIELLE: The
act-yeah.
785
00:22:59,645 --> 00:23:00,778
TOM: The
actual piece.
786
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:01,979
So I do not know if
it exists or not.
787
00:23:02,048 --> 00:23:04,315
So this could be rarest
of the bunch because...
788
00:23:04,517 --> 00:23:05,315
DANIELLE: Wow.
789
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:06,450
TOM: it might not
even have been produced.
790
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,919
But there's not a lot of
coffee collectors out there.
791
00:23:08,987 --> 00:23:10,521
They're not as crazy
as us breweriana guys,
792
00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:12,122
but I love this piece.
793
00:23:12,191 --> 00:23:13,924
TOM: Now, this one, I don't
believe this display was ever
794
00:23:13,993 --> 00:23:15,792
built. So it's really
hard to give a value.
795
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:19,463
But I think conservatively
4 to $500.
796
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:20,330
DANIELLE: Alright.
797
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:21,465
I mean, shoot, we're
doing better today
798
00:23:21,534 --> 00:23:23,133
than we did earlier.
799
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:26,537
So like, conservatively, 1,600
for all of it then, right?
800
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:28,138
TOM: Yes. I think so.
801
00:23:28,207 --> 00:23:29,473
DANIELLE: I got to tell you
like, 1,600 for all of it,
802
00:23:29,541 --> 00:23:30,207
we paid 900 bucks.
803
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:30,941
TOM: Yes.
804
00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:31,808
DANIELLE: We
come out on top.
805
00:23:31,877 --> 00:23:33,744
That's a win and
I'm happy with that.
806
00:23:33,813 --> 00:23:35,079
And I'm super
stoked you came out.
807
00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:36,947
TOM: Well great, it's great
being here and I love
808
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:38,549
seeing these, and they're
even better in person.
809
00:23:38,618 --> 00:23:40,985
DANIELLE:
Yeah! Awesome.

of cluttered.

MIKE: Yeah,
I like that.
813
00:23:48,628 --> 00:23:49,960
MIKE: The Hulcher camera
started a renaissance in
814
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:53,764
photography. It evolved
from forensics to art.
815
00:23:53,832 --> 00:23:55,032
GARY: This is the
camera graveyard.

MIKE: Oh here's the bodies
for them. Look at all these.
817
00:23:57,837 --> 00:23:58,569
MIKE: And then
had ripple effects in
818
00:23:58,637 --> 00:24:00,304
almost every industry.

take 2 or 3 of these
821
00:24:03,576 --> 00:24:04,842
and make one good one.
822
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:07,511

MIKE: And they're the
ones who designed
827
00:24:15,922 --> 00:24:18,455
it and built it, all
under one roof.

That's cool.

MIKE: Whoa...

GARY: 70mm

with a smaller,
841

lighter version of
the same camera.

00:24:35,074 --> 00:24:37,208

GARY: Of all the times when
Sports Illustrated or

00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,948
New York Times or anybody
that has our cameras,
846
00:24:44,016 --> 00:24:45,683
after they had them
awhile, we often come
847
00:24:45,751 --> 00:24:46,750
out with a new version of it.
848
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,886
A wider version,
easier to use version.
849
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:51,021
GARY: They would actually
buy the new camera,
850
00:24:51,089 --> 00:24:52,556
and then they'd eventually
send us back and say,
851
00:24:52,758 --> 00:24:54,358
'would you store
it for us.'

00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:56,360
MIKE: Ohh... okay. And
that just went... yeah.
853
00:24:56,429 --> 00:24:57,761
GARY: But then...
854
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:58,829
then they never
asked for it back.
855
00:24:59,031 --> 00:25:01,699
GARY: Could you keep
them, dispose of them,
856
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:02,633
we don't want them anymore.
857
00:25:02,702 --> 00:25:03,834
MIKE: This one's
not as heavy.
858
00:25:03,903 --> 00:25:06,036
GARY: Slightly newer
version of this one.
859
00:25:06,105 --> 00:25:08,705
MIKE: Okay, so it is-
you're right, it is lighter.
860
00:25:08,774 --> 00:25:10,240
GARY: Yeah, it's
lighter. Uhh...
861
00:25:10,576 --> 00:25:11,842
MIKE: Love
this case.
862
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:16,046
Says goes to New York, Press,
love the old shipping tags, man.
863
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:19,316
GARY: Sports Illustrated
and Life Magazine used them.
864
00:25:19,384 --> 00:25:20,450
MIKE: Wow.
865
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,720
MIKE: A lot of these cameras
that shot really important
866
00:25:22,922 --> 00:25:25,523
moments, whether
it was sports or news,
867
00:25:25,725 --> 00:25:26,790
are laying on the floor,
868
00:25:26,858 --> 00:25:28,659
in the original
box, sitting there
869
00:25:28,728 --> 00:25:30,661
like mechanical time capsules.
870
00:25:30,730 --> 00:25:31,529
MIKE: This was
state-of-the-art,
871
00:25:31,731 --> 00:25:32,596
and this was high-speed.
872
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:34,864
GARY: This was
high-speed, yes.
873
00:25:34,934 --> 00:25:35,866
MIKE: What's this
gauge on this one here?
874
00:25:35,935 --> 00:25:37,667
Looks like a pressure
gauge or something.
875
00:25:37,736 --> 00:25:38,669
GARY: Yeah, film
floats around.
876
00:25:38,738 --> 00:25:40,737
If you shoot 75 frames a second,
877
00:25:40,806 --> 00:25:42,339
your film's going
to want to float.
878
00:25:42,408 --> 00:25:43,274
MIKE: Ohh...
879
00:25:43,476 --> 00:25:45,408
GARY: So sometimes, they
pressurize the box...
880
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:46,677
MIKE: No kidding!
881
00:25:46,745 --> 00:25:48,812
GARY: To keep-to keep the
film flat against the aperture.
882
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,947
MIKE: There's a lot
going into this.
883
00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:51,815
MIKE: They weren't just mass
-producing cameras.
884
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:54,618
They were customizing
them based on
885
00:25:54,687 --> 00:25:55,819
the client and their needs.
886
00:25:56,022 --> 00:25:57,488
MIKE: Look at the lens
on that thing, man.
887
00:25:57,556 --> 00:25:58,622
So you're like this.
888
00:25:58,691 --> 00:25:59,957
GARY: Yeah, that
about right.
889
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:01,758
MIKE: Look at that, there's
a chain drive in here.
890
00:26:01,827 --> 00:26:02,626
What about this
thing, what's this?
891
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:04,361
GARY: Probably
an old prototype.
892
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:04,761
MIKE: Really.
893
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:05,962
GARY: Yeah.
894
00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:06,630
MIKE: Your hand goes into
that with the leather.
895
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:07,697
I love how primitive that is.
896
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:09,366
So this would have been like...
897
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:10,834
GARY: Yeah.
898
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:11,702
It's important to
keep both eyes open.
899
00:26:11,904 --> 00:26:12,636
MIKE: It's like getting a
personal tour into
900
00:26:12,705 --> 00:26:15,705
the mind of Charles Hulcher.
901
00:26:15,774 --> 00:26:16,573
MIKE: It's like
a bomber, man.
902
00:26:16,642 --> 00:26:17,575
GARY: Yeah.
This was...
903
00:26:17,777 --> 00:26:18,509
MIKE: Look at
this thing!
904
00:26:18,711 --> 00:26:19,376
Is it a bomber sight?
905
00:26:19,445 --> 00:26:20,244
[machine gun sfx]
906
00:26:20,446 --> 00:26:21,245
GARY: It might have
came off a bomber.
907
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:21,645
MIKE: That's what
I'm saying, I mean...
908
00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:22,913
GARY: Yeah.
909
00:26:23,115 --> 00:26:23,914
MIKE: You were saying
that he repurposed stuff.
910
00:26:23,983 --> 00:26:24,982
GARY: He repurposed
a lot of stuff, yeah.
911
00:26:25,050 --> 00:26:27,384
Quite a few of them that
we used in the Arctic,
912
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:28,719
we put heaters in.
913
00:26:28,787 --> 00:26:29,853
MIKE: Put heaters
in the camera?
914
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:31,922
MIKE: Different sights,
different setups,
915
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:34,658
different features,
different accessories.
916
00:26:34,727 --> 00:26:35,525
MIKE: Now this
is manageable.
917
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:36,527
GARY: Yeah,
so this...
918
00:26:36,729 --> 00:26:37,727
MIKE: That's
real light.
919
00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:38,862
I'm seeing the evolution as
we walk across the attic.
920
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:39,329
GARY: Every day we get
a different request.
921
00:26:39,398 --> 00:26:40,798
MIKE: Yeah.
922
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,865
GARY: Can you build
a camera to do this.
923
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:43,333
MIKE: Yeah. And that had
to be challenging.
924
00:26:43,402 --> 00:26:44,735
GARY: Yeah.
925
00:26:44,804 --> 00:26:45,735
MIKE: Like I mean,
it's just like,
926
00:26:45,804 --> 00:26:46,003
not the same thing all the time.
927
00:26:47,873 --> 00:26:48,805
GARY: No. The
Highway Department,
928
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:50,540
with their crash
dummies, tested cars.
929
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:51,942
MIKE: Oh
yeah, yeah...
930
00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:53,076
GARY: Yeah, we sold
them several cameras.
931
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:54,144
MIKE: Oh when they would
crash their car into the wall.
932
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,680
GARY: Yeah if, if we could
get like 100 pictures
933
00:26:56,749 --> 00:26:58,082
before it actually crashed...
934
00:26:58,150 --> 00:26:59,749
MIKE: Yes, they could design
the car better that...
935
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:00,684
GARY: And you
could see the dummy
936
00:27:00,753 --> 00:27:02,286
doing all kinds of, you know.
937
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:02,987
MIKE: Oh yeah.
938
00:27:16,168 --> 00:27:18,035
BETTY: What was the man that
wanted the camera to set out
939
00:27:18,237 --> 00:27:21,905
in the woods and take pictures
of Big Foot or something?
940
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:22,973
GARY: Yeah, we-we had
a request one time,
941
00:27:23,175 --> 00:27:26,310
the guy was trying to
capture shots of Big Foot...
942
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:27,244
in the woods.
943
00:27:27,446 --> 00:27:28,978
MIKE: Ugh!
944
00:27:29,048 --> 00:27:30,380
GARY: I don't know whether
you've ever heard of
945
00:27:30,449 --> 00:27:31,247
Heinz Kluetmeier.
946
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:32,516
He used to be the
chief photographer
947
00:27:32,585 --> 00:27:33,717
for Sports Illustrated.
948
00:27:33,786 --> 00:27:35,853
And he used these
cameras for years.
949
00:27:35,921 --> 00:27:37,921
MIKE: Photographers like
Heinz Kluetmeier,
950
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:40,924
this guy was shooting
Muhammad Ali, A.J. Foyt.
951
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:44,862
If you're a fan of his
work, this is his camera.
952
00:27:45,064 --> 00:27:46,930
MIKE: So these cameras
transcend just people
953
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:50,667
collecting cameras, it
starts getting into the
954
00:27:50,736 --> 00:27:52,202
imagery and the art of it.
955
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:55,205
MIKE: I've got a guy that I can
take pictures of this stuff and
956
00:27:55,273 --> 00:27:58,475
I could send that off to him.
He's knowledgeable on price.
957
00:27:58,677 --> 00:27:59,809
GARY: That'd
be great.
958
00:27:59,878 --> 00:28:03,012
MIKE: Collectors, enthusiasts,
people that are passionate about
959
00:28:03,082 --> 00:28:05,683
photography are not going to
have the opportunity
960
00:28:05,885 --> 00:28:06,817
to run into one of
these cameras.
961
00:28:06,886 --> 00:28:08,418
You're not going to
find something like
962
00:28:08,487 --> 00:28:10,954
this at a junk shop.
963
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:11,622
MIKE: So you think this
was one of the first
964
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,356
ones you guys ever made.
965
00:28:13,426 --> 00:28:14,625
GARY: Probably.
966
00:28:14,827 --> 00:28:16,092
MIKE: Because a lot of the ones
that were really significant and
967
00:28:16,161 --> 00:28:20,030
incomplete are sitting in the
attic up here at Hulcher.
968
00:28:20,099 --> 00:28:21,999
MIKE: I'm going to send some
of this stuff off to him.
969
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:28,972
♪ ♪ ♪
970
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,441
BETTY: This used to be
Mr. Hulcher's office.
971
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:32,843
Now it's archives.
972
00:28:32,912 --> 00:28:35,045
MIKE: Sequence photography
is common now.
973
00:28:35,247 --> 00:28:38,515
But back in the '50s, these
images were revolutionary.
974
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:40,250
MIKE: Oh look at that.
975
00:28:40,452 --> 00:28:41,251
BETTY: Yeah.
976
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:41,785
MIKE: So that's one of
you guys' cameras...
977
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:42,252
it was taken...
978
00:28:42,454 --> 00:28:43,787
BETTY: Yes.
979
00:28:43,855 --> 00:28:44,521
MIKE: used to,
to take that shot.
980
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:45,255
GARY: Right.
BETTY: Yes.
981
00:28:45,324 --> 00:28:46,523
MIKE: Wow.
982
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:47,657
GARY: It made
the cover.
983
00:28:47,727 --> 00:28:49,059
MIKE: That's so
beautiful. 1955.
984
00:28:49,261 --> 00:28:51,528
Man, don't you wish you just
turn back the hands of time.
985
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:53,263
BETTY: Long time ago.
986
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:54,131
[laughs]
987
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:54,865
MIKE: Turn them back.
There's another one.
988
00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:55,466
Oh that's the same one.
989
00:28:55,668 --> 00:28:56,933
GARY: Same one. It-it...
990
00:28:57,002 --> 00:28:57,801
MIKE: Okay. Oh this is
actually the magazine.
991
00:28:57,869 --> 00:28:59,403
GARY: Actually the
magazine cover.
992
00:28:59,471 --> 00:29:00,070
BETTY: Right.
993
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:00,470
MIKE: Oh the
staff copy.
994
00:29:00,539 --> 00:29:01,538
BETTY: Yeah.
995
00:29:01,607 --> 00:29:03,941
MIKE: Physically seeing the
images that these cameras
996
00:29:04,009 --> 00:29:07,944
made as magazine covers,
newspaper headlines,
997
00:29:08,013 --> 00:29:10,747
and stop-motion photos
of famous sports figures,
998
00:29:10,816 --> 00:29:13,150
really pulls it all together.
999
00:29:13,219 --> 00:29:15,952
BETTY: At this time, nobody
could take a picture like this,
1000
00:29:16,021 --> 00:29:18,355
because there weren't any
other cameras around...
1001
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:19,757
MIKE: Yeah.
1002
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:20,757
BETTY: to take a
picture like that.
1003
00:29:20,826 --> 00:29:21,358
MIKE: So it just
changes the landscape.
1004
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,559
BETTY: Yeah right.
1005
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:23,960
MIKE: But see, look at the
cameras those guys are using.
1006
00:29:24,029 --> 00:29:25,829
What would you consider
that-what's that called?
1007
00:29:25,898 --> 00:29:26,897
GARY: Just a press
camera, more of less.
1008
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:28,632
BETTY: These cameras
were speed graphics.
1009
00:29:28,701 --> 00:29:31,001
You take one picture a second.
1010
00:29:44,717 --> 00:29:45,782
MIKE: These are
really neat.
1011
00:29:45,851 --> 00:29:46,917
Obviously these photos
have been published before,
1012
00:29:46,986 --> 00:29:49,453
because you know, it's a
professional photographer
1013
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:50,320
covering the game.
1014
00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:51,855
MIKE: Baseball was the
perfect vehicle for
1015
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:55,192
this technology to be
shown to the masses.
1016
00:29:55,261 --> 00:29:58,528
MIKE: 'Outfielder Dusty Rhodes
crashes left field wall in vain
1017
00:29:58,597 --> 00:29:59,997
attempt to grab double.'
1018
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:02,666
MIKE: A pitcher winding
up to throw a strike,
1019
00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:03,867
someone sliding into home,
1020
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:06,870
a batter in sequence
hitting a homerun.
1021
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:08,872
All of these moments
were being captured,
1022
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:11,675
giving the public a
view of their heroes
1023
00:30:11,877 --> 00:30:13,676
like they had never seen before.
1024
00:30:13,745 --> 00:30:14,744
MIKE: What about
stuff like this,
1025
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,480
would you have any
consideration of
1026
00:30:16,682 --> 00:30:17,281
selling any of these?
1027
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:18,882
GARY: Sure.
1028
00:30:19,084 --> 00:30:19,549
MIKE: You've got 8 of
them, and then you've
1029
00:30:19,618 --> 00:30:20,951
got this picture here.
1030
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,887
I'd be interested in them
for like 30 bucks a card,
1031
00:30:23,956 --> 00:30:24,888
and then I'd have to
frame it, and you know,
1032
00:30:24,957 --> 00:30:27,157
presented that way, I
think they might be,
1033
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,760
after I frame it, like $75, to-
to the right person, you know.
1034
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:33,230
So like for the
pile here... um...
1035
00:30:33,299 --> 00:30:35,632
like 250.
1036
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:36,433
GARY: What
do you think?
1037
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:37,700
BETTY: I think
that's fair, yeah.
1038
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:38,835
GARY: I would rather see them
go to somebody that could keep,
1039
00:30:38,904 --> 00:30:40,437
you know, keep them
better than we are.
1040
00:30:40,506 --> 00:30:41,571
BETTY: Right, right.
1041
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,174
GARY: To see him get excited
about it, excited me.
1042
00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:48,912
I'm thinking, finally somebody
is recognizing our product
1043
00:30:48,981 --> 00:30:50,647
and what people can
do with it, you know.
1044
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,515
I just, it kind of got to me.
1045
00:30:52,584 --> 00:30:53,583
GARY: We
would do that.
1046
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:54,518
MIKE: Okay.
BETTY: Yes.
1047
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,318
MIKE: Alright,
thank you.
1048
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:56,320
GARY: Deal.
1049
00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:56,787
MIKE: Well look at that,
that's really cool.
1050
00:30:56,989 --> 00:30:59,656
Wow...
who's that?
1051
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:00,791
You guys know who that is?
1052
00:31:00,993 --> 00:31:02,259
Or was it just like
a promotional photo?
1053
00:31:02,461 --> 00:31:03,260
GARY: Yeah.
1054
00:31:03,328 --> 00:31:04,995
BETTY: When we
advertised our cameras,
1055
00:31:05,064 --> 00:31:09,066
we put things like this in
magazines and newspapers.
1056
00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:10,333
MIKE: So you guys shot your
own stuff though, I assume.
1057
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:12,002
BETTY: Right.
1058
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:13,336
MIKE: Since this came out
of your archives and it's a
1059
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:16,406
promotional piece, you know,
this has, this has value to me.
1060
00:31:16,608 --> 00:31:17,407
I mean, I love this.
1061
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:18,608
BETTY: Um-hm.
1062
00:31:18,677 --> 00:31:20,077
MIKE: I don't know what you
guys are going to do with this,
1063
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:23,013
but I-I'd be interested in
buying that. 75 bucks?
1064
00:31:23,481 --> 00:31:24,748
BETTY: Sure.
1065
00:31:24,816 --> 00:31:25,949
GARY: We'll do
that. 75, yeah.
1066
00:31:26,017 --> 00:31:27,084
MIKE: I love this. I
absolutely love this.
1067
00:31:27,286 --> 00:31:29,286
GARY: Let me show you what we
used in some of our ads too.
1068
00:31:29,355 --> 00:31:30,487
MIKE: Okay.
1069
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:32,990
GARY: Yeah. This is just a
couple of photos of our model.
1070
00:31:34,493 --> 00:31:36,092
MIKE: Oh yeah...
1071
00:31:36,161 --> 00:31:37,561
BETTY: Now that was, I didn't
have a camera in that one,
1072
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:38,361
Mr. Hulcher...
[laughs]
1073
00:31:38,430 --> 00:31:39,429
MIKE: That's you?
1074
00:31:39,498 --> 00:31:39,963
BETTY: pictures.
1075
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:40,363
MIKE: That's you?
1076
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:41,498
BETTY: Yes it is.
1077
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:42,833
MIKE: Alright.
So where-
1078
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:45,636
BETTY: He used me to hold
the cameras to put
1079
00:31:45,838 --> 00:31:48,705
on brochures and send to people.
1080
00:31:48,974 --> 00:31:51,842
BETTY: Somehow or other,
Mr. Hulcher got in his
1081
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:54,111
mind that I could
be a model. [laughs]
1082
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:56,513
GARY: This was, at one time,
our most popular cameras.
1083
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:58,315
MIKE: I can see why.
1084
00:31:58,517 --> 00:31:59,516
[group laughing]
1085
00:31:59,718 --> 00:32:01,117
MIKE: Betty,
you were...
1086
00:32:01,186 --> 00:32:04,254
BETTY: He took lots of pictures
with me and the camera.
1087
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:06,923
[laughs] There must have been
a million pictures with me over
1088
00:32:06,992 --> 00:32:09,993
here, I didn't realize
there were so many.
1089
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:11,328
MIKE: You had a lot of
hats here at the company.
1090
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:13,130
BETTY: I did.
1091
00:32:13,332 --> 00:32:14,331
MIKE: I noticed you got another
baseball picture over here,
1092
00:32:14,533 --> 00:32:15,264
what is this one?
1093
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:17,000
BETTY: This is the
1959 World Series.
1094
00:32:17,202 --> 00:32:19,469
COMMENTATOR: Charlie
Neal hits one to left field
1095
00:32:19,538 --> 00:32:20,537
seats for a homerun.
1096
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:22,072
But it's Al Smith that
takes the shower.
1097
00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:25,943
BETTY: Al Smith was
going up to catch it,
1098
00:32:26,145 --> 00:32:28,878
and this man had a Coke
or a beer or something...
1099
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,213
MIKE: Oh and a beer
dropped on his head.
1100
00:32:30,416 --> 00:32:30,547
Yeah...
1101
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:32,282
[laughs]
1102
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:33,416
BETTY: and he got so excited
that he was going to catch the
1103
00:32:33,485 --> 00:32:36,420
ball, that he just covered
the player with whatever it
1104
00:32:36,488 --> 00:32:37,354
was in the cup.
1105
00:32:37,423 --> 00:32:38,488
MIKE: Oh my gosh!
1106
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:39,822
[laughing]
Yeah he did.
1107
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:40,757
MIKE: This was at
a point in time where
1108
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:44,093
technology met the
innocence of an age.
1109
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:46,763
Like the moment the beer got
spilled on the outfielder.
1110
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,631
The novelty was the
fact that they had
1111
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,500
10 images of it happening.
1112
00:32:50,569 --> 00:32:51,834
MIKE: That's incredible.
1113
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:53,437
What are you going
to do with this one?
1114
00:32:53,639 --> 00:32:54,370
BETTY: We'll sell it.
1115
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:55,706
MIKE: 200 bucks.
1116
00:32:55,908 --> 00:32:56,773
BETTY: This has been
published a lot,
1117
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,109
so if you want to
buy it, that's great.
1118
00:32:59,177 --> 00:33:00,310
MIKE: Yeah, because it's
already framed and everything.
1119
00:33:00,379 --> 00:33:01,978
BETTY: Okay.
1120
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:02,512
MIKE: And the fact that
it was hanging in this
1121
00:33:02,581 --> 00:33:04,014
company is amazing.
1122
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:11,788
[phone ringing]
1123
00:33:11,857 --> 00:33:12,655
MIKE: Alright Dan,
we're up here in the
1124
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:13,991
attic where the cameras are.
1125
00:33:14,193 --> 00:33:16,726
MIKE: These cameras went out,
and they had these bold,
1126
00:33:16,795 --> 00:33:19,929
beautiful, famous,
incredible lives,
1127
00:33:19,999 --> 00:33:22,932
and then they came full
circle back to the place
1128
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,001
that they were manufactured,
and this is where
1129
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:27,137
they've been resting on
the floor of this attic.
1130
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:28,805
DAN (ON PHONE): What's so
interesting about the Hulcher
1131
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:32,209
cameras and his place
in camera history,
1132
00:33:32,277 --> 00:33:36,145
is that he was ahead of his
time and was producing cameras
1133
00:33:36,214 --> 00:33:40,149
that could record images at
the fastest rates possible.
1134
00:33:40,218 --> 00:33:42,752
DAN (ON PHONE): In the '50s,
he was producing cameras that
1135
00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:44,954
could record at 50
frames per second.
1136
00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:47,757
By contrast, a professional
Nikon at the time,
1137
00:33:47,826 --> 00:33:50,093
topped out at 5
frames per second.
1138
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:52,095
DAN (ON PHONE): So really,
these Hulcher cameras were
1139
00:33:52,163 --> 00:33:55,765
able to capture images that
were never seen before.
1140
00:33:55,834 --> 00:33:56,566
GARY: To hear this
guy on the phone,
1141
00:33:56,635 --> 00:33:58,835
excited about our cameras,
1142
00:33:58,904 --> 00:34:01,037
that kind of got me
excited, you know.
1143
00:34:01,106 --> 00:34:02,839
MIKE: Which camera do you
want to talk about first?
1144
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,774
DAN (ON PHONE): How
about that Model 100A?
1145
00:34:04,843 --> 00:34:06,843
MIKE: Alright. The Model
100A, we gotcha.
1146
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,645
DAN (ON PHONE): Gary, is
that camera complete
1147
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:10,647
and working, do you know?
1148
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:11,848
GARY: I doubt it's working.
1149
00:34:11,916 --> 00:34:13,784
I haven't looked
inside of it in years.
1150
00:34:13,986 --> 00:34:15,518
DAN (ON PHONE): That's
kind of a classic,
1151
00:34:15,587 --> 00:34:17,053
say early '60s on that.
1152
00:34:17,122 --> 00:34:19,990
I just happen to see the
serial number was number 5,
1153
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:22,191
so clearly that's one of
the first made of that.
1154
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:26,996
The 100A increased the frames
per second from the 50 maximum
1155
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,800
that the 100 did, up to 75
now, so it was a further
1156
00:34:30,002 --> 00:34:31,868
improvement on the
speed of that camera.
1157
00:34:31,937 --> 00:34:33,737
GARY: I was surprised
that he knew so much
1158
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:36,139
about the Hulcher
cameras, really.
1159
00:34:36,208 --> 00:34:38,808
DAN (ON PHONE): I would suggest
in the market place today,
1160
00:34:38,877 --> 00:34:42,211
that would sell in
the 4 to $600 range.
1161
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,148
Coming right from the Hulcher
factory itself and having the
1162
00:34:45,217 --> 00:34:47,884
early serial number makes it
a little bit more desirable.
1163
00:34:47,952 --> 00:34:49,619
So perhaps a little
bit more than that.
1164
00:34:49,688 --> 00:34:50,820
MIKE: Okay,
that's fantastic.
1165
00:34:50,889 --> 00:34:52,355
What's this one
Gary, what is this?
1166
00:34:52,424 --> 00:34:52,956
GARY: This...
1167
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:54,023
BETTY: That's the 102.
1168
00:34:54,093 --> 00:34:55,492
MIKE: Here, you want to
hold the phone for a second?
1169
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,359
I've got the camera.
1170
00:34:56,562 --> 00:34:58,495
Dan, did you get
photographs of this camera?
1171
00:34:58,697 --> 00:34:59,496
DAN (ON PHONE): Yeah Mike.
1172
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:00,563
In general, that type of
camera would sell
1173
00:35:00,632 --> 00:35:02,899
in the 3 to $400 range.
1174
00:35:02,968 --> 00:35:05,101
MIKE: Gary said that
it was shipped from...
1175
00:35:05,170 --> 00:35:08,638
Sports Illustrated Magazine,
back to the factory here.
1176
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:09,639
How many years ago, you think?
1177
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:12,842
GARY: Probably
30 years ago.
1178
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:14,844
Basically they built
new cameras from us,
1179
00:35:14,913 --> 00:35:15,711
and got tired of
storing the old ones,
1180
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,647
so they shipped them back to us.
1181
00:35:17,716 --> 00:35:19,449
They didn't want them back.
1182
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:20,584
DAN (ON PHONE): Got it.
1183
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:22,852
You know, from a camera
collecting standpoint,
1184
00:35:22,921 --> 00:35:24,854
the fact that it was
with Sports Illustrated,
1185
00:35:24,923 --> 00:35:27,790
that you have the case,
it looks complete,
1186
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:30,059
it has a premium over
a standard model.
1187
00:35:30,129 --> 00:35:33,663
I'd suggest the value is
probably around the $500 range.
1188
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:36,066
MIKE: Okay.
Awesome, man.
1189
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:37,667
DAN (ON PHONE): The most
exciting camera I saw in the
1190
00:35:37,736 --> 00:35:39,936
pictures was the
prototype camera.
1191
00:35:40,005 --> 00:35:41,538
MIKE: Okay, alright well
that's down here on the
1192
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:42,005
other side of the attic.
1193
00:35:46,078 --> 00:35:47,744
DAN (ON PHONE): The most
exciting camera I saw in
1194
00:35:47,946 --> 00:35:49,412
the pictures was the
prototype camera.
1195
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,147
MIKE: Alright.
1196
00:35:51,216 --> 00:35:52,882
DAN (ON PHONE): So the story
is that while working for the
1197
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:53,884
National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics,
1198
00:35:54,086 --> 00:35:58,021
that Hulcher developed a
prototype to study rocket
1199
00:35:58,223 --> 00:36:00,757
launches in slow motion to
find out why they exploded.
1200
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:02,626
GARY: Yeah. That-that
is a true story.
1201
00:36:02,694 --> 00:36:03,960
BETTY: That's
the story.
1202
00:36:04,029 --> 00:36:06,429
GARY: But it was not this
camera we're holding now.
1203
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:08,030
DAN (ON PHONE): Okay.
1204
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:09,699
GARY: This-this prototype
was called a Hulcher 100.
1205
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:12,035
It was a huge heavy camera.
1206
00:36:12,237 --> 00:36:14,237
DAN (ON PHONE): So if it's
not that very original first
1207
00:36:14,305 --> 00:36:17,974
prototype, you know, prototypes
can be challenging to value.
1208
00:36:18,042 --> 00:36:19,643
MIKE: What can you tell
us about this, Gary?
1209
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:20,710
GARY: It was here
when I got here.
1210
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:22,712
I started working
here 57 years ago,
1211
00:36:22,781 --> 00:36:24,114
and this was here at that time.
1212
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,916
All of our early cameras
were made out of sheet metal.
1213
00:36:26,985 --> 00:36:29,919
They were bent up and
put together with screws.
1214
00:36:29,988 --> 00:36:31,787
That's before we had any
welding capabilities.
1215
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:34,658
This looks like it could
be a combination
1216
00:36:34,726 --> 00:36:37,727
of casting and sheet metal.
1217
00:36:37,795 --> 00:36:38,395
MIKE: What is
this advancing?
1218
00:36:38,463 --> 00:36:39,862
The film, right?
1219
00:36:39,932 --> 00:36:40,997
GARY: Feels like it
advances the film, yeah.
1220
00:36:41,066 --> 00:36:42,999
MIKE: So the grip is
actually advancing the film,
1221
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:45,335
like you turn the grip like
you would a throttle
1222
00:36:45,404 --> 00:36:46,403
on a motorcycle.
1223
00:36:46,471 --> 00:36:48,805
GARY: It's larger than
70mm. That, it looks-
1224
00:36:48,874 --> 00:36:49,272
DAN (ON PHONE): Oh
that's interesting.
1225
00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:50,339
GARY: Yeah.
1226
00:36:50,408 --> 00:36:51,741
MIKE: Listening to Dan's
voice, you can obviously
1227
00:36:51,809 --> 00:36:54,277
hear his passion and excitement.
1228
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:57,881
He's actually talking to people
that built the Hulcher camera.
1229
00:36:57,949 --> 00:37:00,350
A camera that he's
been collecting for
1230
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,618
a number of years.
1231
00:37:01,686 --> 00:37:04,086
This is like me being able
to talk to George Hendee and
1232
00:37:04,155 --> 00:37:06,889
Oscar Hedstrom - the creators
of the Indian motorcycle.
1233
00:37:06,958 --> 00:37:09,492
DAN (ON PHONE): What
is the frame rate per
1234
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:10,760
second on that camera?
1235
00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:13,162
GARY: I don't think it was
anything to do with high-speed,
1236
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,165
because I don't know how fast
you could turn this handle,
1237
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:18,768
but it does have the motor, the
motor's right inside the camera.
1238
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:20,570
MIKE: Do you think
you guys made this?
1239
00:37:20,638 --> 00:37:21,837
GARY: I just can't say.
1240
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,172
GARY: Some of the
things in the camera,
1241
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:26,175
were some of the same things
that we use in other cameras.
1242
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:29,979
Some of the rollers, some of
the spools, the gearing inside.
1243
00:37:30,048 --> 00:37:31,581
MIKE: The sight is very
similar to the sights
1244
00:37:31,783 --> 00:37:33,516
that you guys continued...
1245
00:37:33,584 --> 00:37:34,717
GARY: Yes, yes it is.
1246
00:37:34,786 --> 00:37:36,185
MIKE: later
throughout your run.
1247
00:37:36,255 --> 00:37:37,053
I'm telling you, here's a guy
that's been doing this forever.
1248
00:37:37,122 --> 00:37:38,654
He's very curious
about this camera.
1249
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:40,590
He's like a duck on a June bug.
1250
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:41,524
DAN (ON PHONE):
[laughs]
1251
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:42,592
GARY: It looks like something
that Mr. Hulcher
1252
00:37:42,660 --> 00:37:43,727
would have come up with.
1253
00:37:43,929 --> 00:37:46,195
The ingenious way
the inside is made,
1254
00:37:46,265 --> 00:37:48,931
it's unlike any cameras that we
have right now, or have made.
1255
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,135
But I've still yet to
figure out how it works.
1256
00:37:52,337 --> 00:37:54,871
DAN (ON PHONE): Even though
there's not a lot of background
1257
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:56,806
on it, to me that's
still an exciting model.
1258
00:37:56,875 --> 00:37:58,808
It would be exciting
to a collector.
1259
00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:00,076
MIKE: Well I'm glad
I-I, you know what,
1260
00:38:00,144 --> 00:38:02,545
[laughs] I-I just pulled it
off the shelf because
1261
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:03,346
it had a leather strap.
1262
00:38:03,548 --> 00:38:05,148
Betty: [laughs]
1263
00:38:05,217 --> 00:38:05,548
MIKE: I was like, oh that's
a leather strap, that's neat.
1264
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:06,949
GARY: Yeah.
1265
00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:07,283
MIKE: You know, that's
how much I knew about it.
1266
00:38:07,352 --> 00:38:09,018
[laughs]
1267
00:38:09,087 --> 00:38:10,887
GARY: The 2 we know exactly
where it came from,
1268
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:13,957
did we build it, did Mr.
Hulcher design it.
1269
00:38:14,025 --> 00:38:17,026
I would prefer it stay
here with the company.
1270
00:38:17,095 --> 00:38:18,961
BETTY: Mr. Hulcher insisted
on having paperwork.
1271
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:21,297
Where those records are
right now, I'm not sure.
1272
00:38:21,366 --> 00:38:22,832
MIKE: Yeah.
1273
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:23,500
What about drawings,
did you guys actually
1274
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:24,634
keep all those drawings?
1275
00:38:24,703 --> 00:38:25,368
BETTY: We did
have drawings.
1276
00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:27,370
We had drawings of all of it.
1277
00:38:27,439 --> 00:38:28,371
MIKE: Oh wow.
1278
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,040
GARY: I would love to
find a drawing on this.
1279
00:38:30,242 --> 00:38:31,774
DAN (ON PHONE): To me, the
drawings are more attractive
1280
00:38:31,843 --> 00:38:33,176
even than the
cameras themselves,
1281
00:38:33,245 --> 00:38:36,913
just because it shows the mind
working and the origins of the
1282
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,315
build of these cameras,
and the progress.
1283
00:38:39,384 --> 00:38:44,254
Anything that's super unique to
a collector such as a prototype
1284
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:47,724
or drawings, or you know, kind
of the inside story of a camera
1285
00:38:47,793 --> 00:38:50,860
factory, is pretty
highly desirable.
1286
00:38:51,062 --> 00:38:52,662
GARY: We kept drawings
of all of our cameras.
1287
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:53,930
They're still here somewhere.
1288
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:55,732
DAN (ON PHONE): I would suggest
that those are as highly valued,
1289
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,599
if not more, than some of these
1290
00:38:56,802 --> 00:38:58,535
cameras we've been looking at.
1291
00:38:58,603 --> 00:39:00,202
MIKE: That's awesome.
1292
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:01,337
GARY: They started talking about
how much our drawings could be
1293
00:39:01,406 --> 00:39:04,874
worth, I thought, I'm going
to start looking for them.
1294
00:39:04,943 --> 00:39:06,342
MIKE: I'm going to
give you Dan's number.
1295
00:39:06,411 --> 00:39:07,410
GARY: Okay.
1296
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:08,210
MIKE: And you guys can
kind of go back and forth.
1297
00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:09,145
DAN (ON PHONE):
Sure, terrific.
1298
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:09,545
MIKE: Alright, buddy,
thank you so much.
1299
00:39:09,614 --> 00:39:10,613
BETTY: Bye.
1300
00:39:10,816 --> 00:39:11,347
GARY: Thank you,
appreciate it.
1301
00:39:11,416 --> 00:39:12,349
MIKE: Bye-bye.
1302
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:13,616
BETTY: Thank you.
1303
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:14,283
DAN (ON PHONE): Alright then,
nice to meet you. Take care.
1304
00:39:14,353 --> 00:39:14,617
MIKE: Okay.
1305
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:15,885
GARY: Bye.
1306
00:39:15,953 --> 00:39:16,753
BETTY: It is great to know
that people out there really
1307
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:20,156
appreciate our cameras
as much as we do.
1308
00:39:20,225 --> 00:39:24,027
MIKE: So Gary, after listening
to Dan talk about the cameras
1309
00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:26,696
and being educated by you
and Betty all day long,
1310
00:39:26,765 --> 00:39:28,431
I keep falling
back to what I do.
1311
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:29,832
So I'm a story guy.
1312
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,768
You have documentation
on this camera,
1313
00:39:31,837 --> 00:39:33,369
that it came from
Sports Illustrated.
1314
00:39:33,438 --> 00:39:34,503
GARY: Right.
1315
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:35,971
MIKE: You told me it's probably
from the 1950s period.
1316
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,441
It was shipped to you,
what like 30 years ago?
1317
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:40,109
GARY: Possibly yeah.
1318
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:41,043
MIKE: So they used this
camera for that many decades.
1319
00:39:41,112 --> 00:39:42,311
GARY: They used it
for a long time, yeah.
1320
00:39:42,381 --> 00:39:43,379
MIKE: Okay.
1321
00:39:43,448 --> 00:39:43,847
GARY: Yeah.
1322
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:44,914
MIKE: That interests me.
1323
00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:45,981
MIKE: It's one thing to
talk about the cameras
1324
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,584
and imagine the photographer
and the company
1325
00:39:47,786 --> 00:39:49,786
that used them.
But when you
1326
00:39:49,855 --> 00:39:51,321
see them in the
original shipping crate,
1327
00:39:51,523 --> 00:39:52,588
you can touch it.
1328
00:39:52,657 --> 00:39:54,123
So it's hands
-on history.
1329
00:39:54,192 --> 00:39:55,859
MIKE: And then the box itself,
I mean, I look at the box,
1330
00:39:56,061 --> 00:39:59,729
like the lid and all the
places that it's been,
1331
00:39:59,931 --> 00:40:00,730
it's been shipped
all over the place,
1332
00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:02,065
all over the world
really, you know.
1333
00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:05,668
Still has the leather handle
on it, leather straps.
1334
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:07,804
The box has got the look.
1335
00:40:07,873 --> 00:40:09,605
I guess from a
collector's standpoint,
1336
00:40:09,674 --> 00:40:10,940
I connect with this more.
1337
00:40:11,142 --> 00:40:14,810
So this one he said was
worth around 500 bucks.
1338
00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:17,346
That was like a
retail number on it.
1339
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:18,147
GARY: Right.
1340
00:40:18,216 --> 00:40:19,081
MIKE: Obviously
it's not working,
1341
00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:20,616
but to a sports enthusiast
or something,
1342
00:40:20,685 --> 00:40:21,750
this would be the big deal.
1343
00:40:21,820 --> 00:40:23,553
What would you guys
feel comfortable
1344
00:40:23,622 --> 00:40:24,954
selling the camera for?
1345
00:40:25,023 --> 00:40:26,823
Because you know, One,
it doesn't have a lens;
1346
00:40:27,025 --> 00:40:28,758
and Two, it's not like
somebody's going to
1347
00:40:28,826 --> 00:40:31,093
go out and use it
to shoot again.
1348
00:40:31,162 --> 00:40:32,896
It's-it's really more of a
piece of history from your
1349
00:40:32,964 --> 00:40:35,999
company that's a collector
piece, you know.
1350
00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:44,373
GARY: She would
give it to you.
1351
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:45,308
Betty: [laughs]
1352
00:40:45,377 --> 00:40:46,375
MIKE: Yeah.
1353
00:40:46,445 --> 00:40:48,311
BETTY: What, 300?
1354
00:40:48,513 --> 00:40:49,779

MIKE: Now this is going
to go somewhere else,
1356
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:53,116
somebody else is
going to own this.
1357
00:40:53,318 --> 00:40:56,919
But me, I get the best part of
all of it, I get to find it,
1358
00:40:56,988 --> 00:41:01,591
experience it, and really
connect to each piece.
1359
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:02,324

MIKE: Today was
so much more than

00:41:12,671 --> 00:41:14,137
I thought it would be.
1374
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:17,874
Walking in the door, I had
no idea how this one camera

company was instrumental
in changing and
1376
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:22,946
touching so many
different industries.
