American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe & brother Rob shock late store owner’s sons as he reveals dusty old signs are worth $10K
MIKE Wolfe and his brother Rob shocked West Virginian brothers when they found dusty old soda shop signs underneath a house worth a whopping $10k.
American Pickers has recently received backlash for their "fake acting" since favored host
In the basement underneath the property, the show host discovered an old "Coke sign" caked in dirt reading: "Bon Bon Store, Coca-Cola, Fountain" from one of the many businesses the brothers' ancestors owned in town.
"Back when I was eight years old I remember that sign hanging outside the first building. That was what you saw coming down the hill. You saw Bon Bons," the brothers revealed.
Mike then described the piece saying: "The original BonBon sign, porcelain, double-sided, incredible!"
"Next to that is a later version of the BonBon sign, the Dr. Pepper," he told viewers, as the crew lifted the dusty piece from behind a pile of junk.
The second sign read: "Bon-Bon Confectionary, Dr. Pepper, Crushed Ice."
"There's a piece on the bottom that says package beer," the guys revealed.
"Their father could've easily tossed all of this stuff," claimed, before explaining: "He's basically got the history of all the family businesses stored underneath this porch.
"American Pickers sucks so bad without Frank. So much acting and sucking up," one ranted.
"Show is garbage without Frank. Mike overpays for everything. Wife is gonna be happy with alimony!" a second complained.
