He shares with us some of his most treasured acquisitions, including family portraits commissioned by Lucy; a bullfighter hat worn onscreen by Desi Arnaz; a female I Love Lucy baby doll pulled from the shelves after she gave birth to a boy; and a mini-collection of in-store displays featuring Lucy as celebrity spokeswoman. Bryan is accompanied by Chelsea Dalley, his close friend and business manager; we've also brought along Kieta, a memorabilia expert and fellow lover of Lucy, to appraise his collection. Kieta's got a surprise up her sleeve: a hat worn by Lucy onscreen, which she's hoping to trade for one of Bryan's treasures.
