On Tuesday and Wednesday October 17 and 18, 2023, the The History Channel's "American Pickers" show showed up in Rhode Island to pick the contents at the dealership and shops of Dick Shappy Vintage Auto Sales. This show has five million viewers weekly and is shown in forty countries throughout the world. It was a great two day experience of interaction with Mike Wolfe and Jersey John and their crew of twelve.
Upon leaving, Mike Wolfe stated that this pick was one of the most expensive since the show began production in 2010. His purchase of the 1915 Flying Merkel twin accounts for most of the cost. It will be be worth every penny when it shows up in the American Pickers TV episode next Spring (2024). Be sure to watch for it on the History Channel.
