‘American Pickers’ show is coming to California. Do you have antique treasures to share?
Calling all California antique buffs — the History Channel series ”American Pickers” is coming here, and they want to see your treasures.
On the show, a trio of antique selectors travel through the United States searching for rare antiques.
The show is set to film in California in September, and they need the public’s help finding “historically significant or rare items,” according to a news release from Cineflix USA.
“We are looking for different, unusual and unique items — something we’ve never seen before with an extraordinary story!” associate producer Joshua Kerlin wrote in an email to The Tribune.
Collectors who want to appear on the show can call 646-493-2184 or email AmericanPickers@cineflix.com. They should include their full name, city/state, contact information, and a brief description of their collection, Kerlin said.
The pickers can only search private collections, “no stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses, or anything open to the public,” Kerlin wrote.
The trio of antique pickers — Mike Wolfe, Danielle Colby and Robbie Wolfe — have found everything from gold to a “one-of-a-kind bi-plane,” according to the episode summaries on the History Channel.
“As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics,” the news release said. “Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.”
“We’re looking for leads throughout the state, specifically interesting characters with fascinating items,” Kerlin said.
