Auction Kings Season 2 Full Episode Guide
Gallery 63 auctions off a Marine dress sword engraved with Oliver North's name and a World War 1 era Gibson mandolin. A seller takes the crew for a ride in his Wacky Taxi, a 23-ft long cab complete with 50s diner-style interior.
Paul and the Gallery 63 crew auction off a fossil from an elephant-like prehistoric mammal and a rare painting from a Latin American post-modern artist, but the biggest gem of the day could be hidden in a daunting collection of 150,000 sports cards.
Paul and the Gallery 63 crew auction off an enormous 1800s music box and an all-wood Harley-Davidson motorcycle, reportedly made by two drunk cabinet makers. They blow off steam with a friendly competition test firing an antique South American blow gun.
The Gallery 63 crew take in a mystery medical device that might have been used for torture and a centuries old mini sword made for a nobleman's child. Paul's own inner child comes out to play with a huge antique miniature train layout.
The Gallery 63 crew auctions off an early 1900s seance machine and a regular old trumpet ... or IS it? Then Paul takes a gamble on auctioning a seller's retro home -- an iconic, silver 1975 Airstream trailer.
An unusual looking 1947 Harley-Davidson Servi-Car (a three-wheeled motorcycle) rolls up, and Paul jumps at the chance to tool around on it. Jon brings back a rare, vintage British rocking horse from a pick, but Paul's sister Susan worries that it might not rock buyers. Finally the Gallery 63 crew can't resist a friendly wager on a vintage Italian multi-game table.
Delfino fires up an antique cigar-boy lighter; Jon gambles on an escritorio, an ornately carved and ivory-inlaid Spanish desk that is more than 400 years old; and Paul takes in a letter handwritten by Albert Einstein to the seller's father.
The Gallery 63 crew takes in a vintage fortune-telling scale, a menagerie of taxidermied animals, and a collection of baseball cards that reveals quite a few namers, famers and rookies.
Houdini descendent Aron Houdini visits Gallery 63 to authenticate his famous relative's historic letter and perform his own escape-artist trick. Then the Gallery 63 crew also takes in a 1951 Ford F1 and an Atlanta Olympics table tennis set that inspires some friendly competition.
A paleontologist's package of coprolite (dinosaur poo) amuses the Gallery 63 crew. Paul Brown hopes the signature on a first-edition Gone With the Wind proves legitimate this time, then visits the mystical Lithia Springs, which yields an ancient skull-shaped jadeite pipe.
Up for auction: Civil War-era iron knuckles found on a local battlefield, a mini British Mini Cooper, and a family's moonshine still.
A three-carat, platinum-band ring catches manager Cindy's eye, but it's a humble bull sack purse that inspires her to hold Gallery 63's first mechanical bull rodeo. The Gallery 63 crew also takes in a vintage dive helmet and a ship's binnacle.
Paul Brown heads to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center to collect historic items for a special charity auction sale, including a space suit, an astronaut's work of art and an Apollo 13 pinball machine, signed by both the astronaut and the actor who played him.
Paul Brown can't resist test-firing an antique Winchester Signal Cannon to get it ready for auction, and an owner brings in an antique cabinet she thinks is inhabited by her friend's ghost. Finally, to convince Paul to take on his 1974 Grumman airplane with a reserve price of $30,000, the pilot/owner takes Paul on a breath-taking flight.
The King comes to Gallery 63... a Cadillac once owned by the King of Rock and Roll, that is. The crew also takes in an authentic flag-themed guitar signed by Bruce Springsteen, then Paul is "enlightened" when he comes across some rare correspondence from Thomas Edison, showing a less-known side of the famous inventor.
A family's collection of personal letters, diaries, and documents detailing their ancestor's life as a Civil War infantry captain and a functioning 19th century camera make their way into Gallery 63. Then a seller brings in what he thinks is a Civil War era telescope that he bought at a garage sale for $75, but if it's legitimate, the piece could be one of the rarest items in Gallery 63's history.
The crew fires up the engine on the ultimate '60s pony car icon, a red 1965 Mustang. An aspiring teenage antiques dealer sweetens her deal with Cindy by including a free lunch inside her dad's collection of 1970s lunch boxes. And picker Jon takes in possibly the oddest, noisiest instrument Gallery 63 has ever had: a Stumpf fiddle, which curiously bears little resemblance to an actual fiddle.
A seller looks to make big money from two authentic kids (not "dolls") signed by the original artist, complete with their original adoption papers. Then Paul takes a gamble on a Lomax three-wheel trike from the UK, using it as a big-ticket item at the auction. An authentic handwritten poem and signature from rock legend Jim Morrison could bring in big money for Gallery 63 and the previously homeless seller, who plans to donate the profits to charity.
Flipping through the pages of three high school yearbooks, Cindy comes across the familiar faces of Angelina Jolie, Monica Lewinsky and Eric Menendez, while Paul test-drives a MOST EXCELLENT 1982 Corvette. Then, having acquired it from a childhood trade, a seller comes in with an authentic basketball legend's rookie card looking to come out on the better end of that trade 25 years later.
The Gallery 63 crew go back to the future with a DeLorean Time Machine, then travel even further back when they uncover a Prohibition-era piano hiding a secret. Delfino's hard at work on a new seating area while Paul tries out a gas-powered pogo stick.
Paul and the Gallery 63 crew help unload a pawn broker's rare World War II Harley-Davidson. A seller's one-dollar find turns out to be an extremely rare piece of baseball history. Paul antes up with his mentor/dad Bob Brown in a bet that a beautiful, but deadly, gambler's watch will far exceed appraisal estimate.
