Pawn Stars

The Pawn Stars have an opportunity to buy a 17th Century treasure chest that nobody can open - even though what's inside could make all the difference. Will they figure out how to get in and plunder what's inside or will it remain locked keeping its contents secret forever? Then when a man wants to sell a three-sided trench knife from WWI, Rick has some concerns. And later, Rick and Corey play a prank on the Old Man by "borrowing" his 1956 Chrysler Imperial. What really happened to it?

In this episode, Rick is offered some of the craziest items ever to enter the store, everything from a pricey patchwork quilt made from celebrity autographs to an 1845 Harpers Ferry musket, one with a vintage surprise. A scientist selling ATM receipts from the South Pole and a barber's chair straight from Sweeney Todd are also on offer. As the guys find out, nothing's quite what it seems.

The pawn shop heats up after Corey spends big bucks buying a huge 12 passenger hot air balloon - and at the same time breaking one of Rick's golden rules. Will Corey rise to the occasion and patch up the deal or will his dicey decision deflate the shop's profits? Then, when a man tries to sell his classic 1960 Gibson Les Paul guitar, Rick has some concerns: will the deal rock on or rock on out? And later, a man brings in a bottle of medicinal whiskey from Prohibition and the Old Man is forced to decide: Buy it, deny it, or drink it?

When the Old Man gets concerned about shrinking profits, he offers a steak dinner and a cash prize as an incentive to boost the numbers. As the guys compete to win, they assess a supercharged motorcycle, a 1915 calculator and some two hundred year old buttons that could have connections to George Washington. Who'll claim the prize?

It's Christmas at the Pawn Shop - time to find out who's been naughty, who's been nice, who's dressed as Santa and who pays the price. The Pawn Stars look to buy revolutionary war currency that may have been printed by Ben Franklin - will they stop the presses and make the deal? And later a woman brings in a battered battle ax believed to be from the 15th century.

When Rick and the Old Man buy an antique 19th Century wine-maker, Chumlee wants to put it into action. Will he succeed and brew a magnificent "Pawn Shop Pinot"? The Pawn Stars also consider buying a 16th Century replica signal cannon used to call ships as Rick looks at the priciest pawn ever to enter the shop - a semi truck.

Rick has a chance to buy a 1940 quartermasters spyglass that may be from a WWII ship. Can he discover the ship it came from, or will this deal sink? Then Corey considers buying a customized 1996 Harley Road King motorcycle, but there is one significant flaw - a pink flame paint job. Will Corey get in touch with his feminine side, or will this bike be too hot to handle? The guys also meet with a man hoping to sell knives that his grandfather smuggled back from WWII.

The Pawn Stars have an opportunity to buy a theater playbill from the night that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. But first they'll have to determine it's authenticity. Then Corey and Chum meet a modern day renaissance man and buy his pair of Halbert spears. But before they can put their tights on, the Old Man suspects there may be more there than meets the eye. And later, Rick takes a gamble on an elegant, perpetual motion clock that he hopes will stand the test of time.
