RICK: Hey, how can I help you?

BRANDON: How's it going?

I just want to see if you might be interested in this.

RICK: William Tolliday-- it has been a long time since I've

seen anything done by him.

BRANDON: Yeah, they're pretty rare.

He was a gold sculptor, OK?

Which is a really, really weird profession

and a really weird art form.

This is literally sheets of gold and some guy

there with a little hammer.

It is a massive pain in the ass.

BRANDON: Yeah.

[laughter]

William Tolliday was a goldsmith artist

that worked for the Crown Jewelers for years.

I'd like to get $8,000 for the goldsmith piece itself.

I really would like to have someone else maybe enjoy

it who can enjoy the craftsmanship that

goes into something like that.

RICK: This is really cool.

Where did you get it?

BRANDON: Well, I was-- it inherited

to me from my grandparents.

The story that they gave me was that this was given to them

by Aaron Spelling as a kind of a thank you for getting him

started in the business.

They actually gave him his first job.

So your grandparents helped Aaron Spelling actually start

in the entertainment business?

Absolutely, yeah.

RICK: Oh, that's cool. - Yeah.

That's really neat because this was--

this cost a pretty penny back in the day.

The neat thing is is, like, there's a few artists out there

in the world where you just look at their stuff and say,

yeah, that's him. - That's him, yeah.

This was done by him. BRANDON: Yeah.

OK?

This was done by someone who was damn good.

BRANDON: Yeah.

RICK: This one's definitely different.

I never really seen the comedy and tragedy.

What he's famous for is castles.

And he would-- he would do commissions

for castles that would be--

I think that one he did took him a year to make.

Yeah.

So how much did you want for it?

BRANDON: I haven't seen anything like it before,

so I would say a fair value would be about 8 grand.

That's what I think.

Um-- people who collect William Tolliday want a castle.

I'd give you, like, 1,000 bucks for it.

BRANDON: Is there any way that you could do 2,200?

That will make us both happy.

RICK: It would make you happy.

It would not make me happy.

And I would go 15.

That would be it.

I'd let it go for 17.

But that's-- that's probably all I'd be able to do,

because it's a family thing.

And the story behind it, and it's pretty rare, so--

I'll tell you what.

I'll go 1,600 bucks.

It is a very interesting piece.

Yeah.

But I'm going to sit on it for a long time.

So if you can do 16, I'll do it.

I'm just not going to go any more.

I can't.

Yeah, I'll take 16.

Yeah.

RICK: Oh, sweet.

Cool.

I'm accepting the $1,600 offer because I do believe it's fair.

So I think I'm gonna buy some stuff for my wife's Jeep.

And with some of it left over, I might throw

some stuff on my truck, too.

We'll see.
