3:00 amAntiques Roadshow FYI [#124]
Correspondent Clay Reynolds hears how some early 1900s Fred Meyer photographs of Native-American ceremonies - appraised at the Charleston, South Carolina, AR for $7000 to $10,000 - began an authentic Wild West adventure for their owners. Clay's adventures continue at "the Wild West of auctions" as he and expert J.Michael Flanigan brave the 40 acres of simultaneous auction action at Dixon's in Crumpton, Maryland. Then expert Andy Ourant takes a behind-the-scenes look at Vaillancourt Folk Art in Sutton, Massachusetts, which has pulled hundreds of vintage chocolate molds out of retirement to produce contemporary chalkware collectibles. Finally, appraiser Christopher Coover tells the tale of a missing -and dismembered - masterpiece: a 62-page draft of George Washington's first-term inaugural address, which, on the advice of his good friend James Madison, was never actually delivered. Many years later the manuscript found its way into the hands of a scholar and private collector who handed it out page-by-page to his friends. The scattered pages bear no mark to indicate Washington as the author and are likely languishing unrecognized in the dusty recesses of far-flung family libraries - worth as much as $350,000 each, if found. duration 25:00 CC STEREO TVG -

4:00 amGreat Cars [#201]
Silver Arrows
Hitler was determined to dominate the world with his machines. He funded the racing efforts of Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union (Audi) and encouraged them to create the most powerful and futuristic autos ever produced. These aerodynamic Grand Prix racers were designed to rule the racing world. To many, it is the golden age of Grand Prix racing but to some it was an ominous foreshadowing of how Germany would attempt to conquer the world with its machines. But the arrogant German racing effort would get its comeuppance from an Italian driver, Tazio Nuvolari, who beat them on their home turf in a "down-to-the-wire" race to the finish at the German Grand Prix. It was proof that the German juggernaut wasn't invincible. But these cars remain awe inspiring today. duration 26:46 CC STEREO TVG -
