The "American Pickers" will be heading to South Carolina in October and could very well visit Anderson County with your help. Who do you know with huge collections of odd or interesting stuff? Could it be you?
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, stars of the popular History Channel reality show, American Pickers, are planning to visit South Carolina in October and are looking for leads on interesting characters with large collections of exciting items available for the pickers’ purchase to film for their show. Is that you or someone you know?
Keep in mind, the pickers do not visit shops, antique malls, or flea markets and are not currently looking for any fine furniture, agricultural or farming items and equipment, depression glass or pottery, according to Cineflex, Inc., the company that produces the show.
"American Pickers," Wolfe and Fritz are looking for movie and music memorabilia, sports memorabilia, western items, and “basically any other oddball, one-of-a-kind, or interesting historical item you can think of.”
Two of the leading antique collectors, or “pickers,” in the nation, Wolfe and Fritz are followed by History Channel cameras as they tour the United States in search of “America’s most fascinating and valuable antiques - treasures that have been long forgotten in junkyards and barns across the country,” according to Cineflex, Inc.
Anyone with a lead that fits the aforementioned specifications, is encouraged to contact the American Pickers by email at JFriedman@Cineflex.com, AmericanPickers@Cineflex.com or by phone at 1-855-OLD-RUST.
Be sure to email your name, phone number, city, state and a description of your collection - including photos.
