Gosh, I thought that would be worth a whole lot more. An artifact from George Washington’s inaugural ball?!
I thought so too
Hello how are you doing Darlene
It wasn’t Washington’s
Agreed.
It’s worth what someone will pay for it.
Leigh is my favorite on the show. His enthusiasm is so contagious.
I’m glad he seems to be doing better now after all of his legal and financial issues.
I always loved watching the Keno brothers do an appraisal. Their enthusiasm is contagious.
Silk is so fragile when it's that old. It's lovely to see it preserved so well.
They’re having so much fun together and I’m here for it
I would be so scared to have this in my house, I’d just donate it to a museum and let them deal with it. It’s gorgeous and what a history.
You can buy insurance on it, in case it damaged or stolen.
And what if the museum goes bankrupt?
@@bighands69 believe me, the Art Institute of Chicago would NEVER go bankrupt.
Scared of what? Lol
@@JB-vt5sz I think she means scared of getting it stolen or damaged, but that is what insurance is for.
There is no way that a one of kind silk sash worn to George Washington inauguration is worth less then 10k. That’s ridiculous. The right collectors going at it in auction would pay way higher
The good news is more like bad news, the bad news is even worse.
Im guessing because there's definitely more than a few lying around.
well hello to an another "youtube expert"
@@artful1967 What do you mean?
Who cares about the sale price. Surely it’s value lies in its uniqueness and it’s place in history.
$3,000 to $6,000? Seems like if it was at Geoge Washington's inaugural ball it would be priceless. Met the Keno's in front of the Chicago Art museum a few years back. They had just auctioned $40,000,000 worth of clocks from theTime Museum in Rockford. He was just as friendly and conversant as he is here.
I hope she keeps it, that thing is priceless
It was burned
its not priceless, its worth 5000-8000 bucks :D
I hope she donates it to the Smithsonian.

@@finnmccool684 awww you beat me to it!
My thoughts exactly.
That shows you how screwed up people are when a baseball card will go for a million dollars.
Yeah I would have guessed it was worth more money. But here's the thing, this could have been worn at any number of celebrations not directly involving Washington and so they are valuing it based on it just being a privately made piece to commemorate the event. If she could prove one of her family members attended and could prove she got it from that branch of her family then she might be able to add a zero to the estimate In any case, it is really undervalued. I would be proud to have it in my collection of founding father items. I have a letter written to my ancestor John Adams from George Washington which is the centerpiece of my collection.
And you're comparing a handmade item (scarf) to a mass produced item (bb card) with so little artistry in the design (photo+name+stats).
Supply and demand. In particular: demand.
I suspect they want to buy it off her for cheap! No way is there not some billionaire willing to pay a princely sum for this
Or Painting for $450 million and a car for $70 million 😆
I would pay 100 times that if i could afford it. What a piece of history!
It's a very cool piece of American history and really belongs on display at the Smithsonian or other museum that can preserve it properly and display it for the public. Something like this needs to be accessible visually to appreciate it fully for the silk work, the art on it and the patriotism associated with its creation. That family will still own it, they can just lend it out to museums periodically if there's no permanent display space in a museum of their choice.
I hope more families donate treasures to museums so people can see the history for themselves and maybe open some eyes and minds up.
Figured it would be worth a lot more.... If you had a million dollars in your pocket and wanted to buy another, good luck.
Hello how are you doing Bonnie
I'll give her $7000 for it right now.
@@yapandasoftware Yeah, me too. I'd give her $8000.
@@rh5466 ill bid 9,000
@@davidwalter8821 Dude, are you ok?
So nice of Barry Manilow to take time from his busy schedule to come give an appraisal for this nice lady
Wayne Gretzky
Dude totally went to hogwarts, I was expecting fireworks when he said “e pluribus” and pointed his wand.
So many responses in 2 hours...obviously we all love AR....
Yeah, there's none other like it in the whole world. But on a good day it's $3K-$6K!!
WHAT?
buy it and hand it down to your future generations, would cost around 5mil easy then.
I suspect they want to buy it off her for cheap!
George Washington left office after two terms to avoid giving the impression that POTUS was a lifetime appointment incase he died in office. That sash is worth way more.
At least someone knew when to take their leave.
Rick from pawn stars would offer 50 bucks but only after he got his buddy down there to inspect it
Cause he's taking all the risk 😂😂😂
Sean Mcmeown no because he’s a pig.
he's have to hang it on the wall and wait for a buyer and that could take months....and hes gotta pay someone to write it up.
Just great when people are so excited by history.
What an incredibly positive lady. She's worth more to this world than any object she could possibly dig up
Oh my heart! Superb
What a great piece
The “auction price” is a very conservative price. The bidding war would go MUCH higher for this.
Wonderful history please protect and preserve
i love this show
How can you NOT love Brian Legend
Another one of the visitors to that show found those worthless earrings discarded in the parking lot.
So much excitement for so little
I remember that show. Loved it. Always wonder what happened to those people who showed up for the show then
I was waiting for him to poke a hole through it with his pointer....
Thats what she said.
@@NZWarriors1995 Nice 👍🏻
This guy was riveted to his history teachers in school...not staring out the window like his classmates
Donate it to Mount Vernon museum, fabulous piece, I thought the "value" would be higher also
I love it. I am very interested in symbolism.
that eagle is wearing sunglasses lol
I'll buy it right now for $3k
To be clear, the man said, if it is genuine, the sash was probably worn at the ball held by the french count A WEEK AFTER the inaugural ball. Hence the fleur-de-lis.
I have a distinct feeling the right buyer would give her at least 10 grand tbh. Stuff from that time in history is cherished by a serious group of collectors.
Why is it not worth more? It’s so original and historical I’d think it’d be around 20,000
Plot twist... Earrings are Tiffany's and are worth more than the GW item 😆
Thats it??? $5000?..i was thinking $110k easy..its from a george washington gala event..george washington!!!.
He underpriced it so he can buy it and make a profit
@@whiteonggoy7009 they’re not allowed to buy it. If they want to sell it it goes to auction.
yeah but modern cancel culuture is going to trample all over the first american presidency in due time. it's priced in.
Its just a sash tho... and a ugly one at that. Ive seen kindergarteners make nicer artwork...
Seeing as how no one in U.S. history thought that such a 'ball sash' would have survived over 200 years, the fact that this is even worth over $1,000 just seems so appropriate when very little of the American Revolutionary time period has even survived.
Sorry Justin, that doesn't make any sense. What you've pointed out, correctly, should make the thing worth a million, at least, not a thousand.
That seems like a low price for something at the first inaugural ball....
I guess it's mostly because it wasn't Washington's personal sash. Still cool though and definitely something that could go a lot higher in the right auction.
I suspect they want to buy it off her for cheap! No way is there not some billionaire willing to pay a princely sum for this
Me looking at the women in the background got me thinking I need to go to antiques road shows instead of bars
"Mother lied to me" lmao
He said to my knowledge no other of these banners exist. It is a piece of American history. I would buy it from 3k to 4k.
I thought they were going to say hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe millions, and that it should be in the Smithsonian. Whether Washington wore it or or not, it comes from the era, there's practically no examples like it left in existence, and it's associated with the very first president.
Agreed. I was thinking at least 50k but would be surprised if was 100k+ considering it's connection with our first president.
That guy reminds me soo much of roger stone
I'm so happy when they don't make the fart sound at the end.
Owen Wilson is good on this show!
I didnt get it why such a historical piece would not be valued as much as 20K
We have pubs twice that age.
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s worth way more than what is quoted. 🇺🇸
So she needs to tie an ancestor to the ball and that would add value to the sash as a collectible. It is unlikely she had more than one ancestor attend so she needs to do her genealogical research then she needs to get a list of people who attended the ball. Anyone on both lists is a probable owner.
Not sure what that object is at the top but it doesn't look like any fleur-de-lis I've ever seen.
Rick from Pawn Stars would’ve downplayed it and got it for $200.
He's going to have to frame it.
Rod Stewart looks kind of excited
The original pawn stars.
That’s some secret society stuff.
I would have paid that for the sash in a heartbeat.
Appraiser: “As you know George Washington was inaugurated in 1789”
Women : 👁👄👁
How is that not worth a lot more than that? Where can I buy one?
If it’s the only one left, why not donate it to a museum? $15, 000 won’t change your life.
Under valued.
should have been: would you like bad news or worse news?
$ 5,000? Rick at Pawnstars would have offered 20 bucks, after all he would have to put it somewhere in his store
he takes all the risk
@@generalpatzer6893 No he doesn't. If you could buy a rolls royce with a clean title at 70 percent off street price, that's not taking a risk. That's taking advantage.
That valuation is way off. If I had it, I’d pay at least $50k!! I’m sure museums would pay more.
That's where it needs to be
You know this was in 2010..her kids probably long sold this piece..
Only one in existence that he knows of and worth 3 Grand... Bull. Would go for a lot more at auction!
Seems like it's worth a loooot more...
She went on to sell this to Rick Harrison for $75 to cover a gambling debt in Las Vegas.
I'm 100% certain that appraisal is L.O.W.
I thought someone was gonna point out the swastika but it’s a smoother spinning to the right one it was a good luck symbol unlike the hard spinning to the left version the nazis used
nah, they used the same directional one, just more "crisp" with sharper edges
the hindu/budhist "good luck" one points to the left
man, did i read that headline wrong
This lady looks fun.
Where’s his Freemason Apron thoooo
People in line behind the presentation of articles wishing they were her
"On a good day," i.e. when TWO billionaires are after it, the price might go through the roof. That's the art of the auctioneer, to get two or more rich men competing for it. NOT dealers: they would agree to bid low, and then have their own shoot out later - no huge buyer's premium or seller's premium for the auctioneer.
This guy must work for pawnstars with that low ball number
"MOTHER LIED TO ME"
I have a 2015 Bell & Ross watch in my kitchen drawer gathering dust that’s worth more than this. Why is this a top hit on you tube? Let’s get back to those Tiffany lamps worth 100k or something please.
I thought the earrings had a masonic look about them.
Gw was masonic lol
@@jessicamickey3902 yes, thats why i mentioned it.
Tbh thats sad how low the valuation is
10 G's ....that's it ? You GOTTA be kidding
5k ? Sold.
Hey this is a one of a kind item, never seen before and it’s 200 years old. It’s worth 6 grand. Wtf is this pawn stars??
so he says probably no others exist... yet 5 to 10K value only?... pawn stars would offer 50 bucks because they are taking a risk...
Who sees the G W?
It's a lower case "g" and "w"
@@LaLadybug2011 No it's upper case script lettering, look at the yellow stitching under those spangles you can see the GW.
lol Something from the 1700's and related to the first president of a super power is only worth 6k? WTF?
I can't here just to find out what a "Ball Sash" is.
Hmmm🤔
For that low of value by all means I would donate it to a historical museum.
It's not worth more because there is no name attached or it--George didn't wear it and she doesn't know who did. So while it's important as something from GW's life and related to him it doesn't call for the big bucks without a name/story attached.
I would totally give that lady $3,000 for that lol
Dehmoostyay!!! 😆😂😅
One of The FOUNDERS of this country stash is worth less than some picaso piece of art?
I thought Keno was a furniture guy.
That blonde is gorgeous!
Takes it to the Pawn Stars Shop ,
Rick - I’ll give you $5 and I’m taking a huge risk here
I suspect they want to buy it off her for cheap! No way is there not some billionaire willing to pay a princely sum for this
