Do you have a beautiful collection of antiques you’ve been dying to show off?
If the answer is yes, then you may want to submit information on your treasure to experts with the TV show American Pickers, which is set to come to Washington this October.
American Pickers is a History Channel series that first aired on Jan. 18, 2010. In the documentary series, host Mike Wolfe aims to uncover some of America’s finest treasures.
Prior to their trip to the Evergreen State later this year, the hit series is looking for leads, specifically of “interesting characters with fascinating items and lots of them,” stated a news release.
The show follows skilled pickers in the business as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.
“They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics,” the news release stated. “Along the way, they want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items.”
The show American Pickers aims to give new life to historically relevant items, while teaching the audience about America’s past, item by item. Over the years, the crew of American Pickers has found diamonds in the rough and continues to search for their latest lost relic.
The American Pickers have previously discovered a 1910 Royal Pioneer motorcycle, which sold for $100,000. They’ve also found items like Yoda prototypes worth roughly $6,000, a Gretsch Chet Atkins guitar worth nearly $10,000, a 1914 Merz Cycle car worth $55,000, a Dodge A100 “hot rod” truck worth $12,500, and much more.
“If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send us your name, phone number, location, and description of the collection with photos,” the news release stated.
