The HISTORY Channel series American Pickers is swinging through Illinois and they want to see what you’ve got. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are planning to film a number of episodes in Illinois this month. The show explores the country in search of Americana that they can buy off of locals and resell at their shop in LeClaire, Iowa. Fritz sells what he finds online and from a shop in Savannah, Illinois, north of Clinton on the Mississippi River. Casting associate Cat Raynor tells the Illinois Radio Network that the guys are looking for large collections of antiques. The bigger the better.
Anyone who wants to recommend an Illinois location to be on the show can submit name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (855) OLD-RUST.
