American Pickers coming to Pennsylvania
American Pickers will return to Pennsylvania and West Virginia and film episodes of The History Channel hit television series throughout the area in November.
American Pickers is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique "picking" on The History Channel.
The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America's most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find historically significant or rare items, in addition to unforgettable characters and their collections. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America's past along the way.
American Pickers is looking for leads, and anyone who has a unique item, story to tell and is ready to sell is welcome to contact the show. The Pickers do not pick stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums or anything open to the public. If interested, please send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 646-493-2184.
