This is an antique prank device for secret societies.

Well, in the immortal words of Groucho Marx,

I'd never belong to a club that would have me as a member.

I'm looking to get $3,000 for my antique device.

You pretend to brand them as a way of initiating them into--

So this shows you the whole setup of what they would be

doing and then a little description of how the prank

You're going to get the secret brands from your friends.

You're going to get the secret brand to be part of the club.

you must really, really, really want to be in this club

You know, there's always been secret societies

I mean, the Masons have been around forever.

But in the late 1800s, tons of them start popping up,

like Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge, Buffalo Lodge, the Odd Fellows.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what it's worth,

in because it'll just verify the rarity of this item

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, man.

My God, a guy who's got better hair than me.

This looks like one of the old branding irons

they used to use in the secret societies.

and they'd see an iron like this or a medal iron

in or over an oven burning to create the illusion

Then they take it behind you, and they don't realize

you're switching it out for this little small,

So mentally you thought you were actually branded.

In reality, you were just shocked by this.

Does it-- can we see if this actually works?
