Calling all mountain residents from Crestline to Big Bear to Angelus Oaks. We have been contacted by the hit television show American Pickers to aid in their search for interesting characters and items alike! The stars of the show Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz will be returning to our communities in March of 2019 and they are on the search for your “Rusty Gold”.
“American Pickers is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on History. The hit show follows Mike and Frank, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s past along the way.”
If you or someone you know has a different, unusual or unique collection that would be willing to take part in the show please contact American Pickers by phone at 1-855-OLD-RUST (653-7878) or by email at AmericanPickers@cineflix.com
“Also, please note that Mike and Frank only pick private collections so NO stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public.”
