03:24originally what I was going to do I was saving all these things I was gonna build an Elkhorn chair
03:29and this last summer I got them all laid out there and figured if I built a chair it's gonna weigh about
03:35three or four hundred pounds this one's decent Al worked in an industry where they had to make
03:40something out of nothing every single day you know so when you look at his aesthetic with this pile of
03:46antlers all of that is still in his blood he wanted to make something out of them that's what's
03:51great about him and he has an incredible eye what are you doing with these oh I'm gonna sell them to
03:57you the horn is fun to work with the uses are endless when it comes to these antlers I mean you
04:03could mount them just the way they are there can be jewelry made out of them there could be lamps made

05:32growing up had one of these things all souped up big fat tires let me ask you this is this car for
05:38sale no one would ever pay what it would take to buy it i'd have a hard time selling something that
05:43was my dad's yeah exactly since it was my dad's there's a lot of sentimental value to it i'll probably
05:49keep it the rest of my life so danny said you did racing promotions i've been in that this is nascar
05:54country in the nascar country yeah this is have you ever had any big names dale earnhardt one time
06:00you had dale earnhardt you were on your track yeah on a dirt track dale earnhardt was rookie of the
06:05year he raced against the locals for me dale earnhardt to define a promoter he's a gambler he puts
06:12an event together and he gambles that people show up to pay the bills as well as a profit
06:18mainly it would be dirt track racing cars i was the manager of four different dirt tracks we would
06:24have twelve fifteen hundred people in attendance and i was in love with it i never had a desire to
06:31drive a race car i had the desire to sell tickets sure sure right i love anything to do with speed
06:37i'm a motorcycle guy i like mechanics i like the way things go fast it's so cool to go to a big national
06:42race that's on television but it's cooler to go to a regional race because it's guys who are local
06:47these are guys who are building cars in their garage that just want to get out there on saturday
06:51night and have a good time and show off their skills dale earnhardt started in the dirt just like

18:22i collect a little bit of everything i like cowboy indian old weapons older military items as a kid i
18:30grew up on a horse ranch in florida and in those days most of the movies were westerns and my first heroes
18:36were cowboys and as i got older i thought it was wonderful to have a piece of the real thing that
18:41i could relate back to my childhood and i look at this stuff and i enjoy it this is cool man here's
18:47more antlers four full hides there's a lot of this stuff in here you're keeping it to make things well
18:53see i built the costumes for the studio for years yeah so i've got boxes of leather everywhere when i was a
18:59kid you know i was working in a small town in florida elvis brosley came to town i ended up going to
19:04hollywood with elvis from then i've bettered everything from an actor stuntman prop maker
19:09to making costumes spent 57 years in the film industry i won an emmy for the costumes on
19:16magnificent seven this is a tv series okay probably 86 87 wow i made all the leather costumes for that
19:22all the leather costumes from wild bill jeff bridges no it was all hand-sewn it was no machine i went back
19:28and researched hickok his buckskin jackets and all the things and made patterns to fit jeff
19:34bridges to actually look just like wild bill so you were basically in a lot of these big actors
19:40and big actresses personal space yeah i don't know if you bought movie poster that's an old i think a
19:45roy rogers poster up there look at that pretty bad condition roy rogers trigger the smartest horse in
19:52the movies trigger did you ever work with him i knew roy we used to shoot skeet and trap together
19:57really i can tell you a funny story about roy rogers if you look at all the old roy rogers movies there
20:02was a guy in there called black jack o'shea he played all the bad guys well he was roy's buddy
20:07so when jack retired roy bought him a little shack along the railroad tracks down to tarzana california
20:13they started o'shea's trash and treasures oh which is an antique store really so when i first came
20:19out here i was doing stunt shows on the weekends and i always stopped by and see jack because a lot
20:23of the old stunt members there all the old cowboys great stories i can't even imagine so i kept asking
20:29jack i'd like to meet roy so when he comes down next time i will call you so i get a phone call
20:34and he says get your ass over here roy's here so i got my best cowboy outfit i'm wearing down there
20:40walked into the little shack i'm going did he leave he goes no he's in the back room says come on so we
20:46opened the back door roy's laying on the bunk bed back there drunk as a skunk just passed out
20:51i said oh grab his feet we took him out to jack's old pickup truck that had a mattress in the back
20:57put in the back of the pickup truck we drove him over to the ranch and dale and all the kids come
21:02up and loaded years later when i met him again i said you know i met you years ago you did i said oh
21:09god don't tell me about that story oh my god al found his passion and had the opportunity at the
21:15perfect time in his life because he used to watch these guys as a young man the movies and then coming
21:22of age being able to be in the industry and still see them working how amazing is that behind all of
21:29these guys there were so many people behind the camera working really hard to create the scenes
21:36create the wardrobe do the makeup the stunts all of that for the camera and the light to shine on them
21:43there are no self-made men there's so many people working so hard al was one of those guys for
21:49decades what an honor to know some of these guys that's beautiful man what do you value this at
21:5625 bucks i was going to give you a 50. okay i'll do that all right thank you buddy i love that and
22:03roy was just a super nice down-to-earth guy and he loved to get out with the guys and shoot the guns
22:08and tell the stories and i loved every minute of it how about world war ii jackets oh wow
22:14you can tell that's been worn a lot this is what i love about al's collection we're jumping from
22:19the wild west to world war ii oh my god yeah look at that patch the jacket is standard issue the patch
22:26is not a lot of artwork like this or nose art was created by somebody on the crew or on the base all
22:34of this stuff was inspired by a brotherhood that was spiritual i mean when these guys left they had no
22:40idea if they were going to come back that kind of uncertainty seeps into the fabric there are a lot of
22:47collectors out there that care about the condition of the jacket i'm not that guy this is an incredible
22:53patch i'm buying this jacket for this one patch there's nothing on the back so what are you thinking
22:58on this so basically what i'm buying here is the coat that's you know it's rough strictly for display
23:04yeah but yeah for oh absolutely all this stuff i buy like this is for display but i've been
23:08collecting it for a while now like i mean what would you want for this one in this shape with this
23:13patch that's the patch this one yeah this one's probably around 350 yeah how about 300
23:23okay this is sitting out here in the box oh my god i love it i love it i appreciate it
23:32there's a lot of stuff in here i mean it's amazing how well everything is preserved look at this for
23:35example i mean dude i remember buying those when i was a kid look at this a space master paper kite
23:41this child's kite blows me away it's from the 50s it's made out of tissue paper it has all the iconic
23:49figures of the space age that is amazing that it survived because it's so delicate it's hard to display
23:55okay 60. yeah i'll do 60. yeah thank you man i preach i mean it's just so unusual
24:00terry yes sir look at that jersey monroe sent car fresheners 1954. cool thing is it's all intact
24:08and this is the greatest fishing lure ever made the fact that these are spinners that's my favorite
24:13kind because these things fish just bite they don't make stuff like this anymore 130 for the pair
24:19okay all right appreciate you yeah thank you thank you terry i'm looking at using these lures what is
24:25up with this it's an anvil yeah but anvil salesman that was his sample he took around to show it's
24:31pot metal it's very lightweight i think it's more of a decorative piece i think 30 bucks 40. 35 sold
24:37all right dude i like this all right good so we're buying stuff i love it look at that herald smoked sardines
24:44these sardine cans were meant to look like a book on a shelf but when you opened it up it had the sardine
24:49cans displayed in this i'd say that's the 30s wouldn't you oh a minimum 125. let's go 150. 130.
24:58that's a round number sold all right it takes a special person to buy sardine can and you found
25:02the special person that's me that's you hey terry yes sir you got this cabinet back here actually i think
25:09i found the automotive section there's clamps up here radiator clamp supports you'd be interested in
25:15maybe selling this cabinet so it's purolator on it i probably would purolator was an air filter
25:21company that when you saw guys on the nascar track that was the company that had the air cleaner on
25:26their car this one is in great shape it's got the red the yellow and the white and it's perfect looks
25:32like it's probably from the late 50s early 60s i would say it looks like it was probably just for air
25:39filters it's got a bunch of oil filters and stuff inside it i don't really want those but it's got great
25:43color on it that's for certain i don't care what's inside it the cabinet is the advertising piece
25:48would you do 200 on it no i don't believe i do i'd do three to find it in this condition very unusual
25:57how about here i'll do this for you how about 300 and you throw in the automobile clamp thing up top
26:03three and a quarter i'll do that three and a quarter i could use that clamp piece in my shop i'm always
26:08digging around for some of those are old timey clamps that's all right though they got those cool old
26:13school ones i like this stuff it's the old school class like 1940s
26:24the whole collection you have is museum quality this is one of graham green's shirts from dances
26:29with wolves really god that's one of my favorite movies man i got that directly from graham no kidding
26:35so when actors are doing film is it unusual for them to acquire things like that like how do they get
26:40that stuff you know some of them like mcqueen they always got all the costumes they wore so did you
26:46know mcqueen yeah no kidding like what was he like i can tell you a little secret story if you want to
26:52hear it i want to hear any stories about steve mcqueen well we were doing a film called the getaway
26:57steve mcqueen ali mcgroff sam peckinpah director were shooting in san marcos texas and i was doing special
27:02effects makeup on the show and that first morning he says hey i'll come over i want to meet him
27:07so you were going to do see mcqueen's makeup yeah so i was all excited you know i go over there and

28:41every morning i'd go to work i'd stop by and go morning mr steve mcqueen how are you mr mcqueen
28:47you were egging him on yeah and i've got to give him credit though about halfway through the film
28:52he goes i owe you an apology he says i was totally out of line i was unprofessional
28:57you did what you're supposed to do and he said will you shake my hand i said sure sure we became
29:01friends after that i rode baha with him and everything he's a good guy oh my gosh good guy
29:07i got to give him credit he manned up and apologized so i respect the man totally this is what happens
29:13when you ask a stunt man to be a makeup artist i mean it's just insane but it's so cool that he held
29:20his ground he went toe to toe i'm in the presence of greatness he's a man's man he's a woman's man
29:26he's a dog's man he's everything a man should be and more
29:35pretty amazing history here look at that one here's some photos from a donkey basketball donkey
29:41basketball yeah i got the book in donkey basketball so guys riding donkeys and try to make baskets i think
29:48i remember this in high school they came to my school one year and i booked 200 one night events
29:54in 14 different states what is donkey ball you have eight donkeys four donkeys at each end of the court
30:00two teams and they have to be riding the donkey when shooting but the donkeys are trained to throw them
30:07off chase them bite them it was a fundraiser for the schools usually one of the teams had to be made up of
30:14the teachers and kids would buy a ticket to see the teacher thrown from the donkey and a lot of times
30:19the principal would be what was referred to as a pooper scooper if the donkeys had an accident on the
30:25floor they'd pack the gym out every night so i gotta ask a question because i collect photographs oh you
30:31do i got a lot of i probably have 8 000 photographs of things that intrigue me would you be interested in
30:36selling one of your donkey pictures well you're getting pretty personal now i know that makes it very
30:42expensive i know i get it i get it but it's just a cool story to tell i love that i don't know what
30:49kind of value would you place on that hundred bucks sold there you go that wasn't too hard tell
30:56you the name of the donkeys oh you know the name of the donkeys oh yeah
30:59what's the deal with the oscar what's the deal with that oh my god that's got some weight to it
31:14okay in 1928 they were trying to get a design for an award to give to actors well this is one of the
31:20prototypes to oscar this is the prototype for the oscar yeah who has a prototype oscar in their house and on
31:29top of that slapped steve mcqueen to the ground al fleming whoa yeah a woman came back to me as a
31:36joke she says you want an oscar i went yes i said i'll never win one and she goes here you can have
31:43this and i never realized it was until i started screwing around with it and it's all about scratching
31:48on the bottom of it base style rs number two november 27 28. what do you value that at that actually
31:57should go to the hollywood museum down there really because it's something that should stay with the
32:00hollywood i think for sure look at that oh my gosh what a piece of history that is a business
32:07so i gotta ask there's a couple signs i'm a huge advertising guy the one i like the most is the
32:18board yeah it's embossed too robbie yeah that's why i like it when it has uh animal on it makes it more
32:23valuable doesn't it 100 yeah we talk about buying character signs all the time the better the character
32:29the more valuable the piece that's painted metal not porcelain sign actual value wise what would it be
32:35five hundred dollars i think it's got a value of about eight to nine hundred eight to nine hundred
32:40yeah i'd be a player at 600. i believe i'll hang on to it that's a good offer well you gotta step up
32:46to the plate we're here to buy if i would sell something off at the side of the store it'd leave
32:52a hole so to speak what about this gillette tire sign on the other side it's got a polar bear on it
32:57right here it's got a big whammy right on the bear i'll probably let that and go being on the rear
33:02end of the store it's not as visible that's an embossed one but it's got a great look the gillette
33:07tiger sign that's on the back it's got a polar bear on it and it's not the greatest shape but it's a
33:12good piece a little rough here robbie all right that's rougher than a corn cob in 1972 yeah should
33:18you do uh 325. i'd like to start about five yeah oof it's tough and it's a 70 sign yeah i know that
33:28it's not perfect yeah would you go four 375. i'd like to have four out of it i just never did like
33:36odd numbers like that i like those even hundred i wouldn't have sold it had it been off of the side
33:42of the store but i was satisfied price wise
33:45the market is
33:53perry yeah sir look at this it's got like the clothing department here look at these lee jeans

34:25oshkosh 28 by 33. here's another set of lee yeah i love denim i didn't see these whoa what really

34:39products to inspire them to make their denim let me make you offer one two three four pairs of overalls
34:47right there overhauls 150 a pair today well these because they're kid size it's gonna be hard to get

36:45example of how well terry preserved everything in here and this is just a testament to terry's ambitious
36:52project terry been a heck of a day he put this beautiful general store all together in a wonderful
36:59building to help preserve history it's an amazing accomplishment appreciate appreciate you coming
37:04by see us in iowa nice meeting you my friend yes sir i have never sold anything until today when they
37:11complimented me on the condition of the various items it certainly made me feel good and it was a very
37:18enjoyable experience come see us in leclair i've got a cowgirl collection over here let me see that
37:34what's going on with that put it over here that's i think this is the only spot in the house where we
37:39can look at stuff it's a very historical rodeo thing one of the ladies who actually started the women's
37:45rodeo in the 1880s this is her entire collection she was a lady that started the rodeo cowgirls
37:52association back in the 1920s this is her scrapbooks wow this ever clippings first mission books oh there
38:00this is her right here bertha blanchette she was actually the first lady in rodeo to ride a bronco
38:06to professionally ride in a rodeo wow and that was unheard of in those days oh my gosh absolutely
38:12so she was a tough old gal wow look at all this where'd you get this stuff at a guy bought a
38:17storage unit this was in it and he called me said you buy cowboy stuff do you buy photographs
38:22wow these are so great you know where i went to and it was the most badass thing man you've been to
38:27the cowgirl hall of fame yeah did you see all those outfits in there did you see annie oakley's in there
38:33my daughter charlie and i went to the cowgirl hall of fame in fort worth texas a couple years ago
38:38it was a place my daughter wanted to visit it was on her list and i remember seeing some of bertha
38:45blanchette's things in there dang this is incredible i mean there's so much history here
38:51women like bertha blanchette forged the past struck the iron for so many others if you're a woman in
38:57riding and rodeo right now bertha blanchette's history is part of your history so it's so wild
39:03to see a box of all these personal images of hers a lot of these things are other ladies that were
39:10in the rodeos that were friends of hers look at them jumping over that car oh my gosh these were
39:15the gals that went out there and busted their tail and had to prove themselves to the old tough cowboys
39:20that they were worthy of going out there and becoming yeah rodeo stars exactly it is interesting
39:25that a lot of these photos have the names of the people in the photos yeah some of them have it on the
39:30back if they don't have it on the front yeah it's just good early stuff with the rodeos so what are you
39:34going to do with all this stuff i'd be interested in this are you interested in selling this i was
39:38going to try to get it to somebody probably you'd be a good one to get it because i thought it should
39:42be kept together absolutely because this is the beginning of certain rodeoing well absolutely and i
39:47think also too i look at it the images and how personal a lot of the stuff is to me it'd be an
39:53amazing book you know what i mean do the research i'm too old to be taking on a project like this
39:58yeah but it has to be done because i've never found a complete archives of early yeah cowboy stuff
40:06that hasn't been published absolutely what are you thinking on this stuff to you i'd go a thousand
40:12dollars on it i think that's a good price i think it is too and i think there's a responsibility that
40:20comes with it i'm game for it i'm up for the task okay i truly am we're saving a piece of history that
40:26otherwise would probably be thrown out burned off absolutely any of this stuff i feel like i'm
40:32preserving the history of it for whoever comes next and it's a hell of a book i look forward to
40:37see what he does with it well you've got me excited about it good this needs to be moved forward i want
40:43to be the guy that puts it in its right place so whether that's the cowgirl hall of fame or connecting
40:49it with maybe a family member i understand the responsibility of owning it all right we got the rest of
40:54the antlers this is one of the things i love about my job you know circling back with guys that over
41:01the years have become my mentor you know every time i come to al's house i want to stay there for a month
41:06you know it's like i just want to be an apprentice i'm such a sponge and he's just got so much knowledge
