Former US President Abraham Lincoln's chair shown by spouses Jerry and Wanda Beverland on the show complete with documents drew a lot of interest too. The chair was the former president's favorite chair while in the White House.
The time Richard Harrison's tenants on his establishment near the pawnshop accused him of being a bad landlord also made fans of the show to search on Google.
