  • - What do we got there?

  • Beer?

  • No.

  • It's empty.

  • I drank it on the way over.

  • I came to the pawn shop today to sell

  • an American pewter tankard.

  • I believe it's made in 1730 to 1750.

  • I'd like to ask $20,000 for it.

  • I think it's worth a lot more.

  • Lowest price I could probably take is about $13,000.

  • What exactly is this?

  • It was made before the American Revolutionary War

  • by a very famous pewterer.

  • And it is a pretty darn rare piece.

  • It is cool, though.

  • I mean, I really do dig it.

  • Tankards became really popular in Europe

  • and eventually, in the new world, starting in the 1500s.

  • They were basically the original beer bong,

  • and they're mostly made out of pewter.

  • They can be worth a lot of money depending on where

  • and when they were made.

  • It was the only really viable metal for dishes

  • besides something maybe like silver or gold,

  • but that was way too expensive to make dishes out of.

  • And when immigrants started coming

  • over here in the 1600s, 1700s, we

  • didn't have a lot of craftsmen.

  • And most pewter stuff, we'd just import from England.

  • The English sort of discouraged manufacturing in the states,

  • sort of why we had a revolution.

  • If this is pre-Revolutionary pewter,

  • it's worth a ridiculous amount of money.

  • Yes.

  • How much we are going to get out of this?

  • Well, I thinking about $20,000.

  • Let me have someone take a look at it, because it's not

  • that I don't trust you, it's anything

  • like this from this period is being faked or has been faked.

  • So let me get it down here, we'll take a look at, it

  • and then we'll go from there, OK?

  • - You've got it. - Hang out a few minutes.

  • I'll be right back.

  • I have no problem with an expert coming in.

  • This is a genuine piece.

  • There's no question in my mind.

  • So I'd like an expert to confirm that.

  • If it was actually made in the colonies,

  • It's going to be worth a lot of money.

  • So I called the beard of knowledge

  • to help me figure all this stuff out.

  • Hey Rick, how you doing?

  • Doing absolutely fabulous.

  • Good to see you.

  • Hi, my name is Mark.

  • Hi, I'm Bill.

  • Bill, good to meet you.

  • OK, we have, this is what he says is a pre-Revolutionary

  • American pewter tankard.

  • That's nice.

  • Very few early pieces, especially

  • pre-Revolutionary war pieces from America, survive today.

  • The standard life span of a plate or a porringer

  • was only about 10.

  • Years And then it would get melted down and recast.

  • You mind if I take a closer look at it?

  • - Please, please. - OK, it's an interesting piece.

  • When you're looking at a piece like this,

  • what you want to see is how much of it is original

  • and how much of it isn't.

  • There's been a lot of work done on this.

  • The handle least has been reattached if not replaced.

  • The lid, I believe, has been replaced.

  • The one piece that is really the final criteria on this

  • is the touch mark.

  • It appears to be IB.

  • That would be John Bassett.

  • OK.

  • When you're looking at pre-Revolutionary

  • American pewter, John Bassett is one of the people

  • that you look for.

  • And he is a highly collected name in pre-Revolutionary War

  • pewter.

  • Is that what his mark looks like?

  • Yeah.

  • I did see one other John Bassett touch mark,

  • but it was in a book.

  • It was a photograph of a touch mark.

  • Unfortunately on this one, I cannot tell you that

  • it's an original John Bassett.

  • OK. Thanks, man.

  • - Sorry about that. - No problem.

  • Take care.

  • Very good to meet you.

  • When I first looked at this tankard,

  • I saw that it is touchmarked.

  • But that is one of those very rare touch marks

  • that I would want to look at next to another original to see

  • whether it actually matches.

  • I wish I could make you an offer

  • and this wasn't so anticlimactic,

  • but thanks for coming in, man. - OK.

  • - Take care. - Thank you.

  • Well, I'm feeling a little disappointed in the fact

  • that he could not confirm that it was real.

  • I'm sure it's real.

  • He can't be an expert on everything.

- What do we got there?
