friend; a diamond-encrusted gold Cartier cigarette case; and an
1856 book by famed German herbalist Mattioli.
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW circles the wagons one last time for the third
and final hour of its sojourn in sunny Reno, Nevada. Host Lara
Spencer and expert Brad Witherell chance upon the Liberty Belle
Saloon, owned by the descendants of Charles Fey, who invented the
first three-reel, automatic-payout slot machine - the Liberty Bell
- the most sought-after jackpot for vintage slot machine
collectors. Appraisers at the Reno Sparks Convention Center
prospect for nuggets of history and find some real gems, including
a movie production saddle given by John Wayne to his good friend
and partner in - of all things - a catering business; a
turn-of-the-century diamond-encrusted gold Cartier cigarette case,
traded for three breakfasts in a small town diner; and an 1856
book, by famed German herbalist Mattioli, estimated to be worth a
healthy $25,000.
