Documentary Series Returning to State
Pennsylvania is excited to welcome Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Antique Archeology to the area.
According to County Tourist Bureau Director Kevin Andrews the team will film episodes of their hit series “American Pickers” throughout Pennsylvania. Filming will begin soon for the next season.
The documentary, which just completed its eighth season, explores the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’ on the History Channel.
This hit show follows two of the most skilled pickers in the business, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, as they embark on an epic road trip
across the United States in search of America’s most valuable antiques from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. Wolfe and Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory, and learn a thing or two about American history along the way.
“American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore what you may have. They are on the hunt for interesting characters with interesting and unique items. Some of what they look for: 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.
The show, which airs new episodes Wednesday nights at 9PM Eastern Standard Time, is produced by Cineflix Productions for History. New episodes air Wednesdays at 9PM Eastern Time on History.
In 2012, Wolfe and Fritz visited Jeff Mantini and his brothers in Ford City Borough for one of their episodes
