but I cannot quit dreaming about auctions.

And it's Moreno Valley every time.

I don't know if this is a premonition, but it was weird.

Every time I opened the unit,

a rodeo clown would come flying out,

and I'd go to look for you.

And where are you?

You're riding the bull.

- Don't forget to pay the lady!

- [laughs] I'm serious.

- Did I ride the bull for the 15 seconds or whatever?

- 8 seconds, and yes, you did.

My daddy can ride the bull.

- Only for 8 seconds.

Is that all it takes?

I do know that.

I've decided to come back to California because I always

find good stuff here, so I'm hoping

to at least go home with one good locker full of trinkets

[Dusty] It's because we've been here before.

We had the Fenderama, the Betty Boop jackets.

- Mm-hmm. - The bases are almost loaded.

Back in Moreno Valley, we're going to bring

it in for the grand slam.

- Is that what a grand slam is, or it's just called a slam?

- A grand slam is when the bases are loaded,

and then they hit a home run, and it brings everybody in.

Look, there's a lot of people here.

[Lupe] There's a ton of people.

- Hey, isn't that that girl from Texas?

[Lupe] It is.

I found a lot of trunks in my day.

But these trunks, being that they're miniature, cool shaped,

Melissa.

- Hey, Ivy.

- Well, I got the stuff I told you I was bringing.

- Oh, those are fabulous.

- Little one and a big one.

Which one do you want?

- Let's look at the big one first.

- All right.

Check this out.

- Let's see what we got here.

- Well, they're antique tea caddies.

They were used to store tea back in the late 18th century.

So these are both lovely examples of Regency.

The Regency boxes were usually done in mahogany

and sometimes Kingwood and rosewood.

May I please see that one?

- Oh, man.

- I know.

I know I'm asking a lot here.

This is a sarcophagus shape, which is a coffin.

- Oh. - Yeah.

- I don't like that one already.

- Around that time, Napoleon traveled to Egypt,

and the Europeans became really into Egyptology.

So you'll see a lot of the sarcophagus shape.

This is called a triple tea caddy because there

are three compartments.

These held the tea, and this would have held the sugar.

They called it a mixing bowl.

Everything looks original and intact.

- There was some keys in one of them.

- There are actually the two original keys...

[Ivy] OK. - In this.

- With a little tassel.

- Yes.

Which is a great detail.

Now, nobody uses these, of course, anymore to store tea.

They're decorative boxes.

They're beautiful.

I have my collection of tortoise shell boxes.

I've had these for 25 years.

They're 200 years old and the sea turtles

are extremely endangered.

So you can't sell these.

You can own them, but you certainly can't transport them

in and out of the country.

25 years ago, I paid $5,000 for this tortoise shell tea caddy.

And if they're in this kind of condition, they're known to go

up to $20,000 for a tea caddy.

- [whistle]

All right, let's get down to business.

I want to know what these bad boys are worth.

- OK, let's discuss this one first.

This one, it's done in a beautiful flame mahogany.

[Ivy] With the key.

- It has-- it's the triple compartment with the center,

whoops, there's the extra key.

- With the keys.

- The keys.

There are two keys with beautiful

detailing around the lids.

It's very handsome, and it's very heavy.

You can feel the quality in this box.

[Ivy] I want to know what these bad boys are worth.

- I think--

[suspenseful music]

that you could fetch $350.

- More than I thought it'd be.

- OK, then we have the smaller box here.

- The sarcophagus.

- The sarcophagus. - Mm-hmm.

[Melissa] It's a fruitwood box.

Beautiful shape, original brass handles.

It has the original lids, and the detailing is exquisite.

It is an excellent condition, really beautiful.

[Brandi] Oh, yeah, with the metal.

- With the metal aluminum, that's

to make it a little bit stronger and a little lighter,

more durable. - OK.

- OK.

- Those are great.

These are really interesting though.

These are just for art.

Like, these don't have foot straps on them

and probably wouldn't be too usable.

- Do you think somebody used those

but there's no longer straps and they became decorative?

- That's my assumption, yeah.

There needs to be something on here to attach it to the foot.

And that's been lost to time.

- How old do you think they are?

- These probably look like they're

the oldest of the bunch.

I would say 1940s. - OK.

These other two, these are the newest of the three.

This is leather right here, not rawhide like that might be,

but these are actually in really good condition.

I would venture to say these have never been used.

[Mary] Nice.

- You might have a brand-new pair on your hands.

[Brandi] Wow.

- Maybe they were on someone's wall for a while,

but these could be used right now if you want to take

them out and try them out. - Sure.

[John] These could definitely work.

- Saddle up, Mary. - OK.

[Brandi] I mean, would somebody use these that are this large?

This seems awfully awkward.

- Believe it or not, the bigger, the better.

When you're in deep snow, it's the size

of the footprint that actually displaces your weight.

[Brandi] OK. - And that's what makes it easy

for you to stay on top of the snow.

And in fact, if you're interested,

there are what modern-day snowshoes look like,

[Brandi] Oh, wow. - So quite a bit different.

This is what someone would use here for hunting and mountain

climbing these days.

These are light, easy to just strap on your backpack

and carry them up.
