APPRAISER: Let's start with who did 'em.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: The guy's name was Wilhelm Schimmel, and he was a German immigrant born in 1817.
He died in 1890.
And he was an itinerant who did all sorts of things, but mainly he made these carvings and he traded 'em for supplies, and apparently he traded 'em for a lot of liquor, because originally, a lot of these were found in alehouses and taverns and stuff.
He's known as one of America's foremost 19th-century folk sculptors.
He's mostly known for his eagles, but he's also known for the other animals that are down here.
Let's start with the dog.
The dog is $1,000.
Okay?
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: The chicken is probably $2,000.
The parrot is $3,000.
GUEST: Wow.
I just have 'em in a paper bag over there.
APPRAISER: (laughs) The eagle is $9,000.
GUEST: Wow!
There’s my sister over there.
(both laughing) I can't believe that, wow-- wow.
APPRAISER: Uh... So the two of you got these together.
How are you going to decide who gets what?
(laughing) GUEST: Eagle's mine!
