Last Week's Trip To Antique Archeology

[Tailwinds]

Stopped by "Pickers" during a long road trip. Neat place, very very small. They say TV adds 10lbs, in this case I think TV adds about 2,000 square feet.

This original location is not so much their hub anymore, it's more of a small museum and a place to peddle T-shirts and hats and coffee mugs. REALLY cool stuff in there though, it was worth the side trip.

Early Autocycle. Is this the "Doubly Duty Fork"??

Excelsior. This resto is INCREDIBALLS!

Another Excelsior tank with PERFECT patina.

Schwinn Streamline Aerocycle.... Just.... Speechless.

The grotto. Another Autocycle?

Cool Photos. I am not sure if I would be hanging those bikes by some 50 cent hooks.

Anything for sale? :wink:

I would really love to get my hands on one of those harleys. Anything 1960s or older.

This is something that I've wanted to know since the beginning of the show...

Did Antique Archeology actually exist as a company before they started the series?

I understand that Mike filmed himself picking and had a buddy edit the footage to send off to pitch to everyone, but I was curious if that business location and name was eventually fabricated by the folks at the History Channel to sort of bring it all together.

After running a bicycle store for 11 years, Wolfe opened his store Antique Archaeology in 2000 in LeClaire, Iowa. Another location will open in Nashville later this year.

Haaaa, I love when women are described as homely.
