I love love love this when you go alone and explain the different items and prices. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

George you made me laugh so hard I almost spit out my coffee when you said " How come you never say anything about my face." 🤣😂😅 She had no face but certainly had a figure. You caught me off guard because you meshed it in so smoothly. Mahalo, I needed that laugh!! Great stuff here. Love it all.

Probably 30 years ago, I bought 3 chartreuse satin glass candlesticks of different designs at 3 different locations. Since that time, I have never even seen any for sale - except in your video! Sadly, I let mine go with many other lovely vintage pieces bc my then-husband's tastes didn't include them... (I think I should have kept my very pretty candlesticks and let go of the other thing!) 😢

As always, this was fantastic. Thank you, George.

"Staple repair " is a magic word. Some folks collect things just for the repairs. I like pieces that were worth less than the repair cost. That means there's a story. In the past, when I went to flea markets etc, I looked for the oddballs on a dealer's stall. I called it buying jewelry from the toy dealer and toys from the hardware guy. (And it was always a guy.) The stuff didn't belong there and they wanted it gone.

Wow, a great antique/vintage mall. I really enjoyed seeing it. I have watched your videos for a couple of years now and I don't think I've ever heard you mention or point out what I think are called Chinese mud men. I've only ever seen one large collection and I was fascinated by them. I would think they are very collectible.

Жыл бұрын

Hello! I do like Mud Men, and there are some pretty good ones, I"m surprised I'm not seeing them more in the Northwest. I only have run into a few small and not so old ones, but I will keep my eyes out!

Good evening, George! I liked the roadrunner pin/brooch in the showcase. That pond boat, on top of the old trunk, caught my eye. It looked like a nice one, and it had a good size. That marine lamp was really nice! Did you get that one? That definitely was a good price on it. Those old iceboxes are really good to store dry goods. I have a white one with wood shelves in it, but nowhere in the house to put it...won't get rid of it, though. Loved the pickled bamboo shelf! I really like the old whiteware pottery, but don't see a lot of it anymore. I like the smooth, satiny finish on the old whiteware. That looked to be a super-nice place to browse and shop! There would've definitely been many items there with my fingerprints left on them 😂 Thanks for the tour!!!

I forgot to get the marine lamp and am kicking myself, the chances of it still being there are slim but when I saw this I made a note to call them tomorrow to ask! I like old iceboxes and have suggested that they can be fitted as wine storage as well. You and I share the pickled bamboo interest! I've seen a bit more white ware now that Martha Stewart likes it, seems to be coming out of old collections? It really is a wonderful mall and I was thrilled to show it to you!

@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS

Жыл бұрын

@@TheAntiqueNomad Ohhh...I bet you are kicking yourself over that marine lamp 😬 Maybe it will still be there when you ring them about it! I've not seen another icebox like the one I have. I don't have a clue as to when it was made, but I'm guessing it was sometime at the point they were going out of style and electric refrigerators were taking over. It's shaped like a 1940s...I guess...refrigerator, and it has wood racks/shelves in it that are painted that old 😝 green that seems to have been so popular in the '30s and '40s. It has one main door, and there is a metal compartment for the ice inside the main body of it. There is a peaked/tapered wood rack the ice sat on, inside that compartment, with a drainpipe that runs down the back to a space underneath it. There is a small door at the bottom to be able to remove a drip pan that would've collected the melt water. It's covered up, out in the garage, since there's no space for it inside the house. That won't be another piece I'll regret getting rid of, though - it's not going anywhere. That Victorian pickled bamboo can easily fit into pretty much any decor. I've had one piece of it, (a corner chair), and I wish I'd never sold it. I bought it at a yard sale, and I think I paid $10.00 or $15.00 for it...can't remember for how much I sold it. I used to have quite a bit of the whiteware. Mostly the urn-shaped, double-handled vases. All of that was sold almost a decade ago, though. I'd had it for years, so I got it at ridiculously low prices, ($0.25 - $0.50 each), mostly at flea markets and thrift stores. Once the "Martha finger" gets pointed at something, though, the prices do tend to go up a bit 😆 That is, indeed, a really super-nice mall!

Frame 36:28 That wooden rocking figure on the left looks like 1 of the " Spy vs Spy " cartoon figures from " Mad Magazine " ! I'm always amazed at how much you know about all the different objets, brands, places, etc. Careful being out in all this cold crazy weather. :~)

Hey Loretta has found a big ole box of Xeno's Glamor Shots pictures from his Atlanta days and wants to know if he still might have any Dippity Doo or White Rain still. It's just so difficult to get a good bouffant updo using all these new hair products. Loretta and Miss Ima Mann are pleased with the Holiday Fashion Show that they put on at the Antique Emporium. Xeno is completely sold out of his Frederick's of Hollywood collection with the exception of the fishnet pantyhose that Buster and Elmer used to go trout lining down at the creek. I don't think that Elmer was quite understanding of the idea, but not wanting to upset Buster, wore them anyway. Loretta was going to put a bow on your Christmas present, but decided it made her skirt fit funny. Bless her heart for trying, but she just not barking up the wrong tree, she ain't even in the right forest. Ho Ho Ho!
