Former American Pickers host Frank Fritz died this week at age 60 after years of declining health.
The antiques expert starred on the show since its launch in 2010 alongside co-host Mike Wolfe, before leaving in 2021 due to health issues.
Together, Fritz and Wolfe traveled the United States in search of rare and interesting antiques and collectibles.
Some of his best finds ranged from Star Wars memorabilia to an elephant head and classic cars and motorcycles.
In the highest-rated episode ever, Fritz discovered a set of old Laurel and Hardy masks hidden in an old California dance hall.
Former American Pickers host Frank Fritz (pictured) died this week at age 60, but he leaves behind a treasure trove of incredible selections from the hit History Channel series.
Laurel and Hardy were a slapstick comedy duo that was popular in the 1930s and 1940s. The episode featuring their masks attracted more than five million viewers to the History Channel show.
In another episode, Fritz found the original Yoda prototypes from the first Star Wars film.
The ultra-rare items were discovered in a woman’s collection of movie memorabilia, and Fritz eventually shelled out $6,250 for the prototype.
