Boyertown’s Zimmers picked for ‘American Pickers’

BOYERTOWN – The American Pickers themselves, Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe, spent the better part of Wednesday picking through Kevin Zimmers’ warehouse and storefront for treasure.

Kept a well-guarded secret by Zimmers and his family, the camera crewspositioned themselves outside of Zimmers Pets to film an episode of the popular History Channel show in the hopes of catching television magic in Boyertown. 

Zimmers found out his collection would be featured in an upcoming episode last Friday.

“The producer called me and said I’d been chosen as one of the ‘Pick Stops,’” he said.

This should not come as surprising news for anyone who has seen his amassed treasure; in all, Zimmers has an additional 12 trailers full of items in addition to his storefront “museum” that he has been collecting since he was 10 years old. He gained the desire to collect from his grandfather, who had a collection of his own before he sold it all away. 

“My grandfather told me when you buy something, make sure you like it because if you can’t sell it, you’ll be stuck with it,” Zimmers said Wednesday morning. Holding up a copy of Amazing Fantasy No. 15, better known to comic book collectors as the first appearance of Spider-Man, Zimmers said he was confident Frank and Mike would be interested in buying the comic. 

 

'American Pickers' in Boyertown

"American Pickers" Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz drive the back roads of America with a television crew to find treasures in what some might call junk.

On Wednesday they were in Boyertown sifting through the antiques and oddities Kevin Zimmers has collected for more than 40 years.

The professional pickers walked away with oil signs, an 1890s pocket-watch camera and an 1980s Chuck Norris Halloween costume.

The biggest pick was a copy of "Amazing Fantasy #15," the 12-cent comic book in which Spider-Man first appeared in 1962. Zimmers had the comic for 20 years and was sad to see it go - even for $4,500.

"My son goes to Kutztown University and they don't take comic books for payment," he said.

Wolfe's and Fritz's "American Pickers" television show just started its fourth season on History channel and its stop in Boyertown drew dozens of people and lots of traffic to East Philadelphia Avenue.

Cyndi Giacobbe of Gilbertsville saw the pair's familiar white truck drive by and stayed all day on location, taking photos and videos with her cellphone. She picked up two of her children from school and brought them back for some more photos with Wolfe.

"I love the show because they seem to be real," she said. "They go into the ugly places and find treasures."

The treasure-trove that prompted the show's visit started when Zimmers, at age 10, bought a jar of political buttons for $5. He kept a few and sold the rest, quadrupling his money.

Zimmers was hooked and continued to buy treasures at area flea, antique and farmers markets.

He and his wife, Robin, own Zimmers Pets in downtown Boyertown.

A few years ago, Kevin filled three rooms next to the pet store with his antiques and collectibles. Usually, he invites the public in only one day a year for Boyertown's Holiday House Tour.

But a friend of a friend of Zimmers has a connection to "American Pickers" and asked if she could tell the show about his private museum.

He agreed, thinking it would be a neat experience.

"Not everybody gets an opportunity to be on TV," he said. "And I have a lot of stuff I'm proud of."

The television crew showed up after 9 a.m., picked through his warehouse and then took a long lunch break.

Dozens of people gathered around the store.

When Wolfe came out of the trailer, the crowd swarmed in for photos and autographs. Fritz had fewer fans.

Wolfe signed the leg of Caitlin Lorish's jeans.

"I love this show," the Boyertown resident said.

Wolfe and Fritz both signed the dashboard of Paul Guerre-Chaley's '52 Chevy. Wolfe even gave the Douglass Township man an old Oilzum can.

It was also a fun day for the Zimmerses.

The couple's three sons and daughter took off school to help with the show.

The television crew left with their treasures and the Zimmerses made money.

In addition to the comic book they sold, the oil signs went for $90, the costume was $15 and a cigar sign was $125 because Fritz won a coin toss.

The show will air in two to three months, a crew member said.
