This guy looks like he's been the same age for 11 years 😂

[@him050]

You tend to find if a guy is bald in his 40s he’ll probably look the same until he’s almost 60

[@Julian-hw7eg]

Make it 14

[@holdenbauer1255]

Anybody else want a series where rick shows you the cool stuff in the shop.

[@brat4thawln]

Hmmm.... let me get a buddy down to help you out with that... lol!

[@nygiantsfan6]

"I wanna show you something cool." *Clock slips out of his hands and shatters on the ground*

[@spingleboygle]

nygiantsfan6 Is TGAT meant to happen?

[@Federico84]

It would probably break the floor

[@g0blin479]

You could buy this from rick for 8k come back the next day and he will give you 50$ and he's taking all the risks

[@nutritionalrevalution9766]

G0BLiN ummm more like .25

[@alockworkorange7296]

More like if u bring in one just like it nearly all pawn shops will u give u 60% on stuff u bought from them thats y pimps where so much jewlery u buy it all pawn shops that way when u get arrested and they take all ur cash u send a hoe to the pawn shop with some bling and get ur bail money

[@hakeem34olajuwon25]

"there just not bringing in the dough that they use to"

[@jamesbancroft2467]

wait why is he selling it at less than its original retail price of $20,000? why did the value go down?

[@golfmaniac007]

you bring it back to him to sell and he would have to call in an expert

[@Chiefbigcorn]

That clock is so metal that it deserves to hold the name.

[@TheKorfish]

Chiefbigcorn dethklok

[@andreww1212]

I want to buy it. The best I can do is $10.00, Rick.

[@devonzastre9666]

andreww1212 Not sold. I'm curious if it's even being sold or if it's a show piece......or if it's just crazy valuable and they don't want to sell it?

[@chriscollins6593]

i only looked at one, but they seller wanted $10,000 for the clock. it was an old link so idk what it ended up selling for

[@wymankemble9227]

the best you can do is $20.00.00 no lower then that

[@wymankemble9227]

you want it pay $20.000

[@Kyosuke700]

well is that was mixed in with gold there's no way they would sell it for $10 bucks

[@sergioalcantar7863]

He's definitely making those cuffs for the dude from counting cars lmao

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

That was awesoome. Would like to see more of The Shops stuff with a history behind it. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@johnbivins]

Wow!!! Extremely informative...I love the show!!! Rick is awesome

[@LucidDreamer54321]

Why didn't Rick frame the clock. I thought he had to frame everything.

[@abhaychavda3354]

He didnt frame it. He took all the risk

[@manasdas8793]

So it actually lost value over time. Interesting

[@dawnqwerty]

Manas Das hey brother

[@TheMastergabe]

Did you not hear him say this one is brass not gold?

[@shrimp19921]

Not really. Not everything appreciates in value. Actually very few things do.

[@glipk]

Indians be like :

[@madjanetramerez1342]

@@TheMastergabe no, it’s made of brass but has the ormolu process applied to it

[@necrothekitty5963]

Are there more videos like this ? I loved how he taught me about the clock :)

[@balitangwasak952]

Keep it coming youtube! I will watch all your recommendations of this channel.

[@derekrobinson2287]

I actually really enjoyed watching this one, I hope to see more like it

[@yueyay]

I collect French antiques and my whole house is furnished with antique Louis XVI furniture, as well as Napoleon III and other styles. Please remember that ormolu is gilded bronze, not brass. Rick is quite right when he's talking about this clock. And if you think the price is way off, the value of an antique clock is determined by who made the clock - you can't say every antique clock like this is valued at 4k.

[@madjanetramerez1342]

Precisely. I too collect french antiques

[@mkmason2002]

I really enjoy your lessons. Your personality seems so pleasant and sweet. It's enjoyable to watch you.

[@Marvcohen]

But.........Does it tell time ?

[@M45terMiNd]

when I first saw the word "death clock", I thought it was a clock that slowly counted down how many years you had left to live based on the average human life expectancy. Something you could look at to remind yourself of your own mortality.

[@Immafishstick]

Haha i love that little sadistic giggle after "Mercury all over their hands"

[@randywiggins1248]

Nice bit of history.

[@josephsteel5045]

Person: Can I use the bathroom? Rick: Um let me call in a expert who knows a lot about using bathrooms and we’ll go from there. The expert is a little baby lmao

[@shivaumesh1129]

Joseph Steel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikephillips8538]

Outstanding Rick !

[@RollaArtis]

@Mariannalice Oh - Thanks, that's interesting, I always thought the stories about hatmakers and mercury were a bit strange - your explanation sounds so much more plausible.

[@usfdude]

i love how he cracks himself up.

[@michaelblanco2233]

More like this please

[@parmindersinghnokewal4215]

WOW I just heard the process for the first time.....!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewmarks4670]

If you look in episodes from today, that thing is still sitting in the store. It's mentioned from time to time, pretty sure he regrets buying it now.

[@niklFIT]

or he likes it like those superball rings and just put a rididulous price on it... but probably people dont want to be items associated with people's deaths, you dont want to bring those lost cursed souls into your house...

[@johnrotten3268]

That clock is beautiful. Would love to buy it.

[@frogskinshoelace]

Me: I have this gold clock dad died making. Rick: I'm taking all the risk. 50 bucks is the best I can do.

[@KingRiverVlogs]

LOL!!

[@freshtomato834]

Old but gold

[@MONOPOLY35]

Hey, that music was used during those Travel Channel Las Vegas shows!

[@BlakeGibbons]

Those little skulls are actually really impressive

[@richardque4952]

Fine craftmanship

[@TofuPenguin1]

I love his laugh!!!!

[@dyingangelo]

so old school anodizing with gold

[@curbshoppin]

he is a very interesting man to listen too, only person on the show i really care to watch

[@RollaArtis]

I would like to make some corrections; - 1) The clock case of C. 1850 was cast in a sand mould (made from a wooden pattern) and then hand finished. 2) The mercury amalgam was painted on as thinly as possible because gold happens to be valuable. 3) The gilders didn't sit around breathing in the vapour, they knew of the dangers. 4) But he 's right in pointing out that contrary to popular American belief, things like this can in fact be made without reaching for the box of power tools.

[@generic_sauce]

When i first saw this on Pawn Stars the first thing i thought is Dethklok! That and Nathan would love to have this.

Cool clock, bro.

It was $500 new, best I can do is $250; I have to sell it, pay commissions, pay rent.

[@JANG000]

This is So Metal

[@-Channel]

I am at least, intrigued by Rick's alchemy knowledge of mercury.

[@kingkold]

One day I will buy this

[@danielstacey4116]

That was really innneresting,,,

[@jismjacket]

If you noticed during the show...that clock has been there from the start of the series. Always behind the scenes during the deals. I'm sure this little video was an attempt to boost it's image if he's been holding it for that long... but still....great show :)

[@ferrarisarebomb666]

DETHKLOK BROUGHT ME HERE AND THIS IS METAL SAYS NATHEN

[@Buttnecks]

It is called a french mantle clock.Not many ever died from gilding other than in ancient roman time where roof tops were gilded by therefore pardoned prisoners.Similar clocks can be bought for about $400 in Europe today.

It's a great piece Rick, it's got a death look n it for its age it's close to pristine, id feel really comfortable at around..... hmm.... a piece of my earwax, my favorite briefs with skid marks included n 6 cents not a penny more! Take it or leave, I promise U I'll walk away

[@JohnDoesSports]

YES!

[@BeforeIHadWings]

what's mad cool is the ad before the video is at ear splitting volume and the actual video is barely audible. suh-weeeeet.

[@Dunkiep8]

They are the kings of the pawn business!

[@DarthKeyrus]

Brutal...

[@fishfire_2999]

Is that with or without a frame ?

[@promontorium]

I can't believe that thing hasn't sold yet.

[@schmittl1]

Thats Brutal

[@hork13]

i

[@alanfalleur6550]

That's crazy what people went through to make stuff back in the 19th century. Another thing I've read about was that lead was everywhere and used in almost everything back in the 19th century, I guess because it was easier to work with than harder metals. Apparently they even put it in wine because it seemed to make it taste better.

[@Umbreon17]

I would really love to own that clock

[@chipsrdownguy]

Thats a perfect way to kill a sail - Customer "I will would like to buy that clock and will pay anything for it" Seller "Sure but as a fun fact people died making this clock"

[@artthatsnotart]

Actually the way they do it is, they mold the clay, cover the clay with wax, another layer of wax, then bake it, and pour bronze into the layer where the wax was. That's how most bronze sculptures were made, the "vanishing wax" method.

[@shadowrundas]

that klok is pretty brutal...

[@aeronautadavinci4940]

Dethklok sent me here. Pretty informative though.

[@LostTranslation85]

Brutal.

Lost wax casting as explained by pawn stars, Good job actually explain this HgAu processing Mercury amalgamation, mirrors, Christmas ornaments, HgCN STD treatment Oh fun stuff Mercury

[@danielolivieri2686]

This happened to the workers who made mirrors, with the vapours of quicksilver !

[@Gitemstevedave]

His ignorance is only matched by his confidence. Ovens don't just magically get to a high temp. They usually require bellows, which require fresh air. You also need a good exhaust to pull any gasses out which will inhibit combustion.

[@prophetvsprofit]

Look, had a death clock in last week. The old man is still kickin'. $0.75 and I'll let you wax my bald head.
