  • RICK HARRISON: Hey, how's it going?

  • Good, how are you today?

  • Good.

  • Well, that's different.

  • Humphrey's veterinary--

  • LEIGH: Specifics.

  • For the cure of horses, cattle,

  • sheep, hogs, dogs and poultry.

  • Are you a veterinarian?

  • No, no.

  • Maybe a horse medicine?

  • LEIGH: No, just--

  • [laughs]

  • [horse whinny]

  • LEIGH: I'm selling my 1890s Humphrey's

  • Veterinarian Medicine Box.

  • It would be a kit that the veterinarian

  • would take on site to look at the animal that

  • needs assistance.

  • I'm selling it, because I bought it a while back.

  • I enjoyed it.

  • And now it's time to sell it and try to make some money

  • and move on.

  • RICK HARRISON: This is really neat.

  • This is a homeopathic veterinary kit.

  • The weird thing is it's homeopathic for animals.

  • I mean, it was pretty common, especially back then

  • to just basically take a few things,

  • throw some alcohol in it, so it preserved it-- said this was

  • the cure for everything from like sexual problems

  • to diarrhea and hair loss.

  • [laughs]

  • Let's see what you got.

  • Oh, this one's for eruptions.

  • Then we have worms.

  • The fascinating part is that even the vets probably believed

  • all this stuff would work, because there's basically,

  • there was no laws on it.

  • Prior to the Food and Drug Act, kits like this

  • were pretty common for humans.

  • And the same thing applied for animals.

  • And I got to admit some of the cures in this thing

  • are pretty weird.

  • [laughs]

  • So do you want to sell this?

  • LEIGH: Yeah, I'd like to sell it.

  • RICK HARRISON: How much you're looking for?

  • $650.

  • OK.

  • [sighs] It's neat, it's weird, but it's a limited market.

  • I'll give you $400 for it.

  • [sighs] Well, it's a little bit less than

  • what I'd like to get for it.

  • Can you go $575?

  • Nope.

  • It's one of those things that rarity

  • doesn't necessarily mean value.

  • I mean, there's probably very few of these left in the world.

  • There's also very few people who's going to want to buy it.

  • And I have to find that person.

  • [sighs] I'll give you $450-- take it or leave it.

  • [suspenseful music]

  • OK.

  • All right, sweet.

  • I will meet you right over there,

  • and we'll do some paperwork. - All right.

  • Thank you.

  • I'm settling on $450, the medicine box,

  • because it was pretty darn close to what my bottom dollar was.

  • And I can live with that.

RICK HARRISON: Hey, how's it going?
