I don’t know why this pawn shop’s tagline amuses me, but it does. Guess everyone’s falling on hard times nowadays, including our Movieland elite.
Located at the corner of Melrose and Cahuenga, Brothers Collateral is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week for all your celebrity liquidation and/or collectible shopping needs.
According to a 2005 business profile in the local Larchmont Chronicle, brothers Ernest and Rudolph Gintel first opened the shop in 1980 and have been happily wheeling and dealing in jewelry, musical instruments and other sundry items ever since.
After all, who could possibly resist merchandise like the scores of mint-condition Beanie Babies featured at their website? (Wow! Pity the unfortunate stars who had to part with those timeless heirlooms…)
