On I-80 right as you cross the Mississippi into Iowa
from Illinois - there is the little town of Le Claire at the border ....
Less than two miles down the road in the alley behind the BP station
on your left is ' Antique Archaeology '
The home of American Pickers ......
I stopped by Tuesday around dusk & took a few pictures
Talked with the neighbors for about an hour ......

the episode in Ohio with the fellow with the White Castle was a tractor collector also. He said they filmed the clip 2-3 years ago hoping to sell it to someone, look what happened. He did not show them his big toys, 1568 or 2, some big fwa and others. Since that aired, he sold a lot of stuff !!!

| We stopped by one day when Mike Wolfe was there - awesome guy. My 10 year old son was getting his autograph and mentioned he races go karts. Mike says - did you see my Ryan Newman driving suit? Try it on! Made my son's day for sure! |

I think they need to dedicate a few episodes on just Danielle.

I have a theory. Maybe they have a secret Allis-Chalmers shrine somewhere and don't want nobody to buy any of it that's why you never see anything Allis-Chalmers related on their show. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

Here's my $$$$ idea bumper stickers, T-shirts. "If I was a picker... I'd pick Danielle" " Be a Picker, Pick me" " Born to Pick" " Pick till you drop" " I'm a Picker and I still picked her(arrow pointing)" and of course, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose. ------------- 1941 WC sat for 29 years,started & dynoed 27 h.p. 1957 WD45 Grandpa bought new,factory p.s.,added wfe 1951 WD, factory p.s. 1960 D14 HnMk IV BkHoe 4 sale 2014 HD Tri Glide 2009 GMC CC SLT Dually |
