Vintage TV Treasures, Mystery Finds, and a Strange Music Box (S15, E5) — Storage Wars — Full Ep

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: All right let's see how we're gonna do it. How are we gonna do it? I want to put it right here. [00:00:06] Lisa: Okay. Oh boy. Right? I'm gonna stick it right here. You're too slow. Perfect. How'd you get it up that high? Practice. Serious. How'd you do it? Just kind of play with it a little bit and it works. Danny this is a mess. All right are you ready to go? If you're ready to go we're ready to go. Let's go. We're not ready to go. This thing's like a droopy diaper. Well you did that. Jeez. [00:00:39] Speaker 3: When storage units are abandoned. Look at this one. The treasures within. New glove gang are put up for auction. [00:00:48] Speaker 4: I scored on this. I'm in the green. Money baby. My house is town. M-O-N-E-Y. Are you ready? Yeah. Wow. We got like three more hours to get home. I'm exhausted. But there's an auction nearby. That is in Rosamond? I don't know where that place is but it says it's near. It's the middle of the desert. This is where all the eccentric millionaires drop off their stuff so no one steals it in the regular storage units. I don't think that theory is true but I am too tired to argue. But I think we should do it for old time's sake. You're killing me dude. [00:01:33] Speaker 5: So this is Rosamond. Yeah. It's pretty desolate huh? I like it. Are you going to find some dresses today? Yes. Because there's old houses and when there's old houses it has potential. I brought my girlfriend Lupe with me today. She bought her first locker all by herself yesterday and she's already itching to buy another one. You think there's somewhere out here to get food? I don't see anywhere. No. Roadkill. So welcome to Rosamond. [00:01:59] Speaker 6: What's going on Kenny? Hey bruh. We're surrounded around a lot of women today. I know. I don't walk or cook for sure. [00:02:06] Speaker 4: You feed a man once he won't leave you alone. Feed him twice and he looks like this. [00:02:12] Speaker 6: Man you look beautiful bruh. Mama Crossley always told me never insult the man who's trying to take all your money. [00:02:20] Speaker 4: Lisa! Welcome! I like her jacket. I bet she do. We're admiring her outfit. It's pretty nice. Right? [00:02:28] Speaker 5: What's up Lisa? I was just commenting you and Lupe are having a sweater wars today. [00:02:32] Lisa: Oh hi I'm Lisa. Oh my god. Lots of L's around. Lisa Laura Lupe. Oh my. Triple Threat. [00:02:41] Danielle: Hi. Hi. What's your name? Danielle. Nice to meet you. It's a Lisa. There's a puppy. Stop it. Are you a dog freak? I prefer cats. Oh you're a cat lady. No I'm not a cat. I have one cat. Yes she is. [00:02:57] Speaker 4: And I found her by accident and I'm just waiting for her to die. [00:03:01] Danielle: I also have an old cat that I'm waiting to die. [00:03:03] Speaker 4: You might want to earmuffs this guy over here. [00:03:05] Danielle: It's so nice to meet so many new friends, but I will cut a bitch over some vintage. [00:03:13] Speaker 1: All right. Welcome to the auction. We're down in Lord Austin with storage auctions.net. Before you go through these gates you need to know the rules. You've got to go to the unit, remove the lock, open the door and give you five minutes. You take a look around. You can't go inside. You can't open any boxes.

I'm bidding on this one. [00:03:53] Speaker 4: I mean, we could go and ride bikes. You could sit in that little seat in the back there. I mean, I'm curious what's in the totes. No, it's nice, isn't it? Yeah. Moving on. [00:04:02] Danielle: This is like a romper room locker. A lot of little toys and games and a dollhouse. I don't want a bunch of toys.

[00:07:18] Lisa: This is a 10 by 12. You needed my help. All right, here we go. Dust is good. Trust in dust. You know what? [00:07:28] Danielle: I like all these boxes. There's, like, a little vintage, uh, footstool. That's a good sign that there might be something else vintage in here. Don't need an ironing board. Don't believe in ironing. I'm also gonna see how this goes. That's how I'm feeling today. [00:07:43] Speaker 4: I like that they wrapped their furniture. It probably means that there's a bunch of stuff in the drawers. I will definitely bet on this, 'cause I think there's a couple of things I can use. [00:07:51] Speaker 8: It's exciting. [00:07:54] Speaker 6: Got some totes in here. They got a big TV back there. It's a mystery unit. I might be doing some bidding on this shit right here. [00:08:02] Speaker 5: Lupe, I think Rosamond is dangerous for me, because everything is covered in dust. And I-- It's super dusty. It's bad for me, because I like to buy things that are really dirty. They don't call me dusty for nothing. [00:08:14] Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Number 20, what are you gonna pay? How much? 25. Let me do it. 50. 50 right there. 100 now. - Two over here. - Oh, good. - Two over here. - Oh, good. - Two over here. - Two over here. - Two over here. - Two over here. - Two over here. - He's in. - Now, five over here. - You're out. I got 450 going once. Five over here. - Not bad. - Way to go, Brandy. - I don't know why I did this. [00:08:42] Speaker 9: All I want to do right now is take a nap. I can't wait. - All right, see, go, Brandy. [00:08:49] Lisa: - All right, big outdoor unit. Whoo, it's auction time, folks. Get a good look. [00:08:56] Speaker 1: - The junk in the trunks, what's important with this unit? [00:08:58] Speaker 4: - Look. - What do you see? - I like the blanket or tapestry. [00:09:02] Speaker 5: - Oh, yeah. Stop pointing at everything. - Okay. - They're gonna see. You're just pointing out all the good stuff for the other people. - No. - Don't do that. [00:09:10] Speaker 10: - What do you think is in here? - Oof. - Maybe dresses? [00:09:14] Speaker 5: - There could be vintage dresses. We'll see what it sells for. - Okay. - All right. [00:09:18] Speaker 4: - Well this so badly. - I know, it's a good-looking unit. - There's a clock. Are you into clocks? - Well, maybe I need a clock, so there you go. - You say, "Google, what time is it?" That's what you do at your house. I've been there. I can imagine that there's probably some interesting things throughout, but I'm a little concerned it might go through for too much money, so I'm gonna bid until I feel like it's still reasonable. [00:09:46] Speaker 6: "Cuckoo clock." Eggs. Fresh eggs in here, boy. I like that little patina-ass glass right there. What do they call it, patina? - Patina-ass, that's correct. - Yeah, patina-ass glass. I'm bidding on this undercover. [00:10:01] Danielle: - Oh boy. This definitely has a Lisa vibe to it 'cause there's old stuff, but it's so big and so much work. I'm just gonna sit back and-- - Let it ride? [00:10:14] Speaker 1: - Let it ride. Alright, I'm gonna go 10 by 10 unit, here we go, how much money, I got 100 there, 1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,500,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800,800 Lupe, $1,850. [00:10:47] Speaker 5: Lupe was so excited about this locker, I couldn't let it go to anybody else. What do you think? [00:10:53] Speaker 4: I think we're going to find some dresses in there. Folks, that's the end of the auction. And don't forget to pay the ladies. See in the office. [00:10:59] Danielle: Ah, empty handed. You want to help someone out, Ariana? Join our girl gang? Of course I do. I just want friends. [00:11:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, I have friends. And that's priceless. [00:11:13] Speaker 9: You know what? Let the professional step in. I am so relieved that Lisa agreed to hang out and help us. [00:11:20] Speaker 4: Guys? I'm going to change my leg position. Can I move? How often does that happen? [00:11:27] Speaker 9: But it's going to be loud. [00:11:28] Speaker 4: Well, look at this one. Oh my god, what is it? Blender base. Look how cool that is. Norwegian pewter. There's probably around $60 just in glasses right there. And then I got like another $150 right here. This is elegant. [00:11:43] Danielle: Oh, look at that cute nightie. Oh, it's got a night coat. [00:11:47] Speaker 4: So I can answer the door. And then you're going to be sitting in your bed, and you'll be like, bring me some cheese. With my curlers and my hair. [00:11:54] Danielle: $40 for the pair. Look at these great vintage glasses. [00:11:57] Speaker 4: Those are fancy. Oh my gosh, I like those. Those are lovely. That's a good $80, I would say. Yeah. This ottoman is so cute. There's not one tear on it. There's no tears. I can probably get at least 200 bucks out of this. This looks like a fun box. Oh. Ooh. Made in-- Sweden. Sweden. Oh, it looks like little port glasses. Wow, that's-- This is lovely. --aggressive. [00:12:21] Danielle: Oh, guys. [00:12:23] Speaker 4: They thought differently about things back then. I'm sure that set will make someone very happy. Swedish port set, $50, 50 bucks a piece for these dressers. What's this? It looks spooky. [00:12:40] Danielle: Oh my god, what is that? [00:12:42] Speaker 4: I don't know, I have goosebumps. Oh. Wow. I like it. I like it, too. [00:12:49] Speaker 9: This gives me the full on heebie-jeebies. I know this technically isn't a doll, but I'm still terrified of it. [00:12:57] Speaker 4: Hold on. Is it hand-painted? There's a pair. She has a in like three months, and she's mad. [00:13:03] Speaker 9: Oh, yeah. [00:13:04] Speaker 4: She's mad. I think that one's a saint because of the gold thing around her head. She's the patron saint of resting face. Are these hand-painted? Yeah, look, they're made in Italy in 1930. I told you it was a saint. [00:13:19] Speaker 9: Well, they're numbered, too. Normally, I'd smash these nightmare-inducing items, but I'm pretty sure they're worth a lot of money. Lucky me. I'm so happy. [00:13:29] Danielle: Can you tell? Can't see . It smells kind of strange. [00:13:36] Speaker 5: Are you ready? Lupe and I snagged a perfectly dusty, dusty locker. This is a cool little compact bike. Look. [00:13:45] Speaker 4: Yeah. [00:13:45] Speaker 5: 50 bucks for the bike. [00:13:47] Speaker 4: I agree. [00:13:47] Speaker 5: Sweet. Oh. Is that "I Love Lucy"? [00:13:50] Lisa: Collectible. [00:13:52] Speaker 5: Collectible? There you go. [00:13:54] Lisa: Oh, look. She's got fruit on her head. [00:13:57] Speaker 5: That's the dancing version. [00:13:57] Lisa: Cha-cha-cha-cha. Yeah. [00:13:58] Speaker 4: Great condition. [00:14:00] Speaker 5: Say $125 for two "I Love Lucy" dolls. [00:14:04] Speaker 4: Okay, I say jewelry. [00:14:05] Speaker 5: You say jewelry. You say jewelry? [00:14:07] Speaker 4: Oh, you're right! Really? [00:14:09] Speaker 5: Let's see the pocket watch. That's at least $40 for a pocket watch. What about this? Ooh. That's sweet. Well, it's for the Boeing Stratajet. $250 ashtray. There's at least $30 and more in that box. I think we got the "I Love Lucy" super collection. [00:14:24] Speaker 9: Fanatic. [00:14:25] Speaker 5: I think there's at least about $400 worth of collectibles. [00:14:30] Speaker 4: Oh, it's nice. [00:14:32] Speaker 5: A $75 vintage trunk. Oh, look at all the silver! I know! No, that's a lot of silver. Hold on. A lot of watches. A lot. I'd say right here, with the 12 ounces of silver, it's going to be at least a $650 box of goodies. Ooh, it might not be flower. Hold on. Ooh! That's a lot of coins. [00:14:52] Speaker 8: Mint. Is this one silver? [00:14:54] Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a silver eagle. Yeah, mercury dimes are silver. One ounce pure silver. More silver. I think a thousand. Winner, winner. Really? Yeah, that's awesome. I think we got at least a thousand dollars in collectible coins. Nice. Everything she touches turns to gold. Or in this case, silver. Look at this fancy little watch right here. We got the-- the Swiss legend. I'm going to say that all this stuff together right here, $300. This phone is a Wedgwood. It's got to be at least a hundred bucks. This is actually for like a birdhouse. Maybe 50 for the birdhouse. Oh! More dolls! These are all going to be I Love Lucy dolls. It'd be like 400 bucks, and Barbies, it's a lot. Another one. Lucy. Ah! It says, I Love Lucy Mattel dolls. Ooh! I mean, I think it's going to be at least another $400 in Lucy dolls. Even I'm starting to love Lucy. Ooh! Look at all the watches! Oh! Wow! At least $400 in watches. Yeah. Ooh! Yeah, let me see. Ooh! [00:15:54] Speaker ?: I see some gold markings already. [00:15:55] Speaker 5: I got like laser vision. For at least a little $200 handful. We didn't find those dresses like Lupe hoped. We just found all the other treasure in this desert instead. OK. So how much do you think all this is? Lupe! I'm going to see Kamani Nadarajan. [00:16:11] Speaker 8: How you doing? I'm Kenny. Hi, Kenny. [00:16:14] Speaker 6: Who's the classical Indian music teacher? [00:16:16] Speaker ?: I'm going to see Kamani Nadarajan. How are you doing? [00:16:19] Speaker 6: I'm Kenny. Hi, Kenny. Who's a classical Indian music teacher? Who's the classical Indian music teacher? She seems to know what my music box is, because I don't. [00:16:31] Speaker 8: This is a Shruti box. Oh, Shruti box. [00:16:34] Speaker 6: Yeah. [00:16:35] Speaker 8: Shruti means a pitch. Hey, that's something. In India, this is used for Indian classical music. Here on this side, you have all of these knots, right? Almost like a piano or something? [00:16:49] Speaker 6: Exactly. [00:16:50] Speaker 8: They are actually exactly like a piano, and it stays in one place. And drones on in a pitch that you select. Yeah, it has a beautiful sound. Yeah. [00:17:05] Speaker ?: Yeah. Good. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Good. [00:17:09] Lisa: Ah, ah, ah. [00:17:16] Speaker 6: Yeah, good. Ah, ah, ah. You dropped me a price on how much it cost you think. Wow, that was nice. Thank you. [00:17:28] Speaker 8: It's really well made. This is made of real teak wood. It's nice. It has a very nice grain here, right? This one should be worth $250. [00:17:45] Speaker 6: It's not a huge score, but it's pitch-perfect to me. With some no for mayonnaise. [00:18:01] Speaker 9: Mary Ann Spinelli is an antique doll dealer and knows about these cursed masks that we found. So we're taking them to her to see if they're worth anything more than nightmares. Oh, nice. [00:18:13] Speaker 10: I like these. You never see these. I have hardly ever seen them until now. This is a lynchie ceramic. The lynchie company was started in 1918 by Elena Scavini and her husband Enrique. And they started making dolls like you see are all around me here. Mm-hmm. Don't look. Can't miss them. Yeah. They're friendly, too. They don't look friendly. In 1927, Elena, who was an art student, had a great talent for moods and design and improvisation. And she made these beautiful masks. They're marked right here, lynchie. What's the technique to make these? It's first put in a mold and it would be a white face like this. And then it's hand-painted and then fired. One of them has a halo, so I guess she's the good girl and she's not the good girl. Probably northern Italian women, that's why they have the blue eyes. And the rusting face. These are a thrill to see in person, I'm telling you. [00:19:25] Speaker 4: So you're saying these are extremely rare and they're in great condition. Mm-hmm. Uh, can you tell us how much you think they might be worth? [00:19:34] Speaker 10: Well, to the right buyer, this, especially as a pair, could go for $4,000. [00:19:41] Speaker 4: Oh, my God. [00:19:44] Speaker 9: Well, I love that number. But those masks are faces only a mother or a doll collector could love. [00:19:49] Speaker 4: People have told me I need Jesus, but I really think I needed these ladies. [00:19:56] Speaker 3: Brandy Passante masked her dislike of doll faces with a pretty $4,200. Dusty Reach not only loved Lupe, he loved Lucy. Kenny Crosley's Shruti Box was a pitch-perfect payday of $145. While Lisa Delarios was poor in profit, but rich in friendship. [00:20:21] Danielle: Dusty, I was gonna try to steal your wallet today, but you foiled my plan. Oh, I'm sorry. That is a serious chain. I should get like a chain hook to my money sock. I keep my cash in a sock. [00:20:33] Speaker 4: Don't sell that to the world. Could be a tube sack. [00:20:37] Danielle: Could be a ped. But you know what I have today? [00:20:40] Speaker 4: Oh! [00:20:41] Danielle: Oh, my--oh, my God. Girl got leg warmers on! [00:20:45] Speaker 5: That's how she could hold like four stacks of cash. [00:20:48] Danielle: If you find really good stuff in the locker and you don't want Dusty to see, you can just shove it in your leg warmer.
