Last summer, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz passed through New Jersey in search of odds and ends. This time around, according to Lancaster Online, the duo is headed to the Keystone State to film between May 23-June 5.
Typically, they are looking for "interesting characters with interesting and unique items," which can encompass the following items listed by the show's producer, Ciniflix Productions:
Vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early firefighting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50's western gear.
Now entering its ninth season, 'American Pickers' previously appeared in York late last year to check out a collection housed in a warehouse full of discarded junk. Wolfe and Fritz are probably looking for a little more excitement. If the recent salvaging of a single-arch McDonald's sign in Lancaster is any indication of what's in store, they won't be disappointed.
If you live in Pennsylvania and you have a collection containing the above items, you can e-mail your name, number, address, photos, and a description of your collection to americanpickers@cineflix.com. You can also refer someone else for the opportunity to make a sale and even end up at Wolfe and Fritz' Antique Archaeology shop in Iowa.
