Collections of antiques sought for 'American Pickers'

Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe of 'American Pickers' are looking for collections in Pennsylvania.

"American Pickers" Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are coming to Pennsylvania to film episodes of their hit series in September.

Produced by Cineflix Productions, "American Pickers" is a History channel documentary series that explores the world of antique "picking."

The show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they criss-cross the country on a hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.

The duo always seems to find unique collections and shares the stories behind them with the audience. Their goal is to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while teaching a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

"American Pickers" is looking for leads to explore hidden treasure in Pennsylvania.

They are seeking large, private collections or accumulations of antiques that they can spend the better part of the day looking through.

If the collection has an interesting story behind it, that would be ideal.

Interested collectors can send their name, phone number, location and description of the collection along with photos to AmericanPickers@cineflix.com or call 1-855-OLD-RUST.

"We are trying to get the word out as soon as possible, so the sooner people with large collections reach out to us the better," said Victoria Weinberg, casting associate.
