The show Cajun Pawn Stars season 3 episode 10 titled Shaken and Stirred follows the Harrison family as they continue to run their pawn shop in Louisiana. In this episode, the family is presented with a variety of unique and unusual items brought into the shop by customers hoping to sell or pawn their valuables.
The first item that catches their attention is a vintage cocktail shaker from the 1920s. The shaker is made of silver and features intricate designs and engravings. The customer selling the shaker claims it was once owned by a famous Hollywood actress who used it to make drinks during her wild parties. The Harrison family must determine if the shaker is authentic and worth the asking price.
Next, a local fisherman enters the shop with a large crab trap he found in the swamps. He believes the trap is over 100 years old and could be worth a lot of money. The family inspects the trap, but they're not sure if it's actually as old as the seller claims. They also don't know much about crab traps or how to determine their value, so they call in an expert to give them some insight.
The third item presented to the family is a unique piece of artwork. The seller claims it was created by an artist who specializes in "found object" sculptures. The artwork is made from various objects such as old tools, car parts, and other scrap metal, all welded together to create a unique piece. The seller is asking for a lot of money, but the family isn't sure if the art is actually valuable or if it's just an oddity.
Later in the episode, a customer enters the shop with a large collection of vintage pocket knives. Some of the knives are over 100 years old and in excellent condition. The customer is hoping to sell the entire collection as a package deal. The family must determine if the knives are authentic and if the asking price is fair.
Finally, the family is presented with a rare Civil War-era rifle. The seller claims the rifle was used by his great-grandfather in the war and has been passed down through the generations. The Harrison family must determine if the rifle is authentic and if it's worth the asking price. They also consult with experts to learn more about the history and value of the rifle.
Throughout the episode, the family members debate the value of each item and negotiate with the sellers to come to a fair price. They consult with experts and do their own research to determine the authenticity and value of each item. In the end, some items are sold and some are not, but the family has learned something new about each item and the history behind it.
