Whats there in American Pickers?
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, antique and collectible pickers, travel around the United States buying (or “picking”) various artefacts for resale, for clients, or for their personal collections. Danielle Colby is the office manager for Wolfe's company, Antique Archaeology, which is based in Le Claire, Iowa, and has recently expanded to Nashville, Tennessee. They used to travel in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, but now they travel in a Ford Transit.
Fritz sells his finds at his own shop in Savanna, Illinois, and earlier on his now-defunct website, Frank Fritz Finds. The men hit the road, not only following up on leads produced by Colby, but also “freestyling” – stopping at places that appear to have stuff worth purchasing. They also choose some locations multiple times. Wolfe and Fritz narrate the series' introduction.
Mike and Frank go through people's homes, barns, sheds, outbuildings, and other areas where antiques and treasures have been stored. They seek amateur and professional collectors, hoarders, and persons who have inherited large collections of objects with which they are unsure what to do.
Wolfe, who has been picking since he was four years old[4], is particularly fond of antique motorcycles, air-cooled Volkswagens (pronounced “votes-wagon”), old bicycles, and penny-farthings, while Fritz enjoys antique toys, oil cans, and old Hondas, with a particular fondness for peanut-related items.
