Estate Sale Surprise! | Bargain Shopping for Antique & Vintage Treasures
Estate sales hold some real surprises in this video! A lifetime of fun antique and vintage goods pack three distinctly different homes, and we're combing through everything from well-organized collections to hoarded piles in basements. What will we find that our collectors will want us to rescue for them?
House #1 offers the best variety, with a patio full of Salterini wire furniture on display at insanely cheap prices before we even open the door. Local treats include TWA airline wings and a St. Louis purse by Caro-Nan, while a House of Representatives ashtray, good looking mirrors and a nice cabinet we can convert to a bar go in the pile to buy.
Then the digging starts! An Incolay box hides under a pile of linens, dad's best 1970s ties invite us to search through a clump, and a decaying basement holds some surprising vintage bargains (providing a good pair of gloves is on hand!). We pull out luggage, an unusual Treasure Craft piece and Leg-O-Matic chairs at prices too good to resist! (We also talk about why we must resist buying the leopard skin collar we find.)
Past the famed Gateway Arch we go to see Houses #2 and #3, where the houses themselves are the stars of the show! We talk about the pros and cons of Lane cedar chests, find lovely linens and restaurant ware, then discover the hidden Art Deco design delights that leave us saying, "i'll take the house!" Come along and enjoy our fun foraging through these incredible homes with original features that inspire our own restoration and decorating dreams.

Sometimes I just go to estate sales to see the inside of the older homes. Some are just jaw dropping gorgeous.
Thank you so much for showing the features of the houses. It’s like an added treat on top of the items you were looking at. It’s as if we are going to the estate sale with you and experiencing the whole thing. That last house was fantastic!

The bar was amazing, but that pink and black bathroom...to die for!
Oh my gracious...the bar in the one house and then the black and pink bathroom in the other...wow...so stunning! Thanks for taking us along. ❤
Oh my! Both houses were amazing! The second place was gorgeous, with the original features. Take care darling, and say hello to Xeno xxx
I have never seen a basement bar like that one! That was fantastic. So fun seeing the older houses. Happy Hunting!
Those last two houses were fantastic! That bathroom was to die for it and so was the kitchen! And those stained-glass windows!!❤
I'm with you -- I would take the house!! The bathroom tile, not to mention that in the kitchen, were unlike anything I have ever seen in my 72 years

St. Louis is full of original details in vintage Homes. We love our history here!
I came close to tearing our built in bar out a few years ago but I decided I think it might be a selling feature when I sell. Gonna leave it. I love the third house, too. That bathroom is just made for bubblebaths!

The bar in the 2nd house is AWESOME and the black and pink bathroom in the 3rd house I love!
Love that pink and black bathroom though. That last house was terrific for sure. Thanks for letting me tag along and see too. You have a great day
🎉 The bar is magnificent! And the pink bathroom is stunning. Would be a cool project to purchase property’s and B&B to the reseller/Antique community for their travels. Thank you so much for braving the wind and sharing your knowledge of the treasures you find along the way.
The first Sale was indeed a hoarder's dream. The vintage bar kept me riveted. Great places! Always exciting! thank you!
That basement was AWESOME! kitchen and bath in 2nd house was beautiful
I too love that amazing bar basement!! I love the charm of the old homes when estate sale shopping!
Those interiors are great. Hope noone is stupid enough to mess them up. Sick of seeing people screw up old homes
OMG the kitchen is BEAUTIFUL on last house
Loved the different eras of homes.
Haven’t even watched this, yet. But… love the houses, behind you.
The bar was fabulous. I hope the new owners don't destroy it. Some of the older houses are so amazing with all sorts of frills we don't have today. I look through Zillow to see the older homes myself. Some of the older homes just knock my eyes out of my head. It makes me feel bad when those places are all messed up.

Good radio George I like the house with the BAR and the pink tile on the other house YOU DON'T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN IT'S USUALLY REMODELING AN TORE OUT TAKE CARE BE CAREFUL❤
Those 2 houses were amazing! And in such great condition!
Oh a Treasure Craft flower. Very pretty. I love that bar as well. That house was beautiful. I love that old tile.
Those are some great beautiful homes. Love the stained glass windows and that pink and black bathroom. Keep you some antibacterial wipes in your car, and you could search through the mess and clean up afterward. 😊
Those last two houses where fantastic.
That Masterpiece art auction game is really fun to play.
The colorful wooden spoon (7:42) is a famous Russian Khokhloma (folk painting). There are plates, all sorts of boxes/canisters, cutting boards, etc. The ones with silver/greyish base (instead of gold) are older and more valuable - they might have Made in Soviet Union or Made in USSR stamps on.
Oh my gosh , that pink bathroom is everything, and the bar...come on... amazing. Thanks for taking us along .
"They need a firehouse pole in this place." Lol!! Agreed. And you're right, that basement was quite fabulous.
In that last house, I saw the dining room China cabinet. I was just at a party and they had taken one like that and made a great liquor cabinet out of it. They bought it cheap because the trim on the doors was damaged. Added plate glass shelving inside for the glasses, battery fairy lights for lighting, and lots of bottles of booze on the bottom shelf. Millennials are finding creative uses for old furniture.

That's cool! I think if you find damaged but solid pieces, customization can be really cool. I'm the same with cars, don't change a good original but something that's needing rebuilding anyhow is up to taste
Look at that BAR !!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
I've found goofy stuff on the second day, not often but it happens. Walked into one house, walked around, and asked about "that stuff in the glass" on the desk. I'd asked about jewelry, but there never was any ...ahem. The "junk in the glass" was for sale if I wanted it - found a Lalique butterfly, a gold bangle and two sterling ones. Paid about $2 for the lot. Nobody had even looked at it. That third sale - except for the stairs, I'd want the house too! That tile work - I wouldn't have messed with it either.
I love when you find a piece of Treasure Craft and buy it! I bought my first piece about a month ago. A big orange divided snack tray that looks great in my 1970's Rec Room on the coffee table!
I like the shorter format videos. Would enjoy if you put more of them out. I learn a lot from watching your posts. The nostalgia references (i.e. Brady Bunch) are fun too.
Hi George, Heidi and everyone!
That house was so fun. So many memories and history. A lot of love considering how they kept the tilework.
Cool houses!👏🏻👏🏻thanks for taking us with you!
OMG THE BAR!!!!!
Love the basement too! What fun that must have been!
Those houses, wow! They don't make them like that anymore😊
Oh George, I couldn't have done that first basement. You rock!
That basement bar was awesome!
No way!!! That’s where I grew up. Yes you pronounce it the French way De Pear. Wow Antique Nomad in my childhood ‘hood
George I'm in agreement with you on the house it was great!!! You did find some good things, be safe going home 🏠😃😃😃
I loved that vintage dress you showed. I had those wedge heels huaraches in the late 70s ! I sure wish more resellers would buy vintage skirts and dresses 👗

I would go to those estate sales just to look at the homes
NO SHOT... found this video randomly and i live in ellisville, im right down the road
Really enjoy the estate sales fun fun
What Fun...just fabulous places.
Wow I wish I was there, I would be buying a bunch
I almost went to that estate sale but chose to go downtown to a funky bar that was selling off all their memorabilia (The Way Out Club). I’m so sorry I missed meeting you!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
the 3rd house is really cute.
I love how you take time to share your knowledge and describe each item you come across. It takes time to do that. You could get through these sales a lot faster without the video but I'm glad you take the time for your viewers. I just started watching you a couple months ago and I've binged watched all your videos already! :) Looking forward to each new one!

OMG THOSE HOUSES were so much fun !! thank you
Thank you for sharing this video, and I enjoy the additional info you added. Those houses were amazing. I had family that lived in St. Louis for awhile, and was able to visit them. What a great state. Great prices on everything. I collect lettuce/cabbage ware, so I fell in love with the little cabbage shakers. Green is my color, so I also loved the vintage apron, and the enamel tables. The cherry linen was adorable. You got a steal on that mirror. Love the vintage bathrooms. And that basement in the second house. Incredible bar and built in tv!!! That was amazing!
Thanks for bringing us along! That bar was amazing!

I LOVED the bar. Coolest thing ever !!! The last house was very cool as well. Wouldn’t it be fun to decorate . Thanks for another fun day, George.
Russian wooden spoon, have one like that one. My parents had an old Servel gas refrigerator in the St Louis rathskellar bar. I love those nineteen-twenties Tudor St. Louis cottages with the arch door entry.
❤ binge watching your videos. I always want to go thifting after!!
What a treat, thanks George!

Hi George I loved that house. The tile work and those cabinets. Love it all. I can always image the house all staged up. Thank you for sharing with us. We have had the weirdest winter. March came in like a lamb in my part of Missouri. It will go out like a lion.❤
Hi George! I was yelling at the TV, "George! Pick up that Green platter thing!" The pretty red Hibiscus small bowl you picked up was the dip part of the Treasure Craft 2 piece chip/dip. The green round large platter part was covered with little cabbage salt and peppers. :((

Welcome to St Louis!
George, I have been trailing around after you on your travels like a lost puppy. It interests me that you are able to locate all these obscure little places so easily and so, I'm guessing, that for the man who regards old as gold, the availability of the technology of google maps or whatever tracking app you use must have been a game changer for you in terms of broadening the scope of your treasure hunting? So, without the new, the old might not get seen, right? Anyway, no matter how you get there I love following along and learning something new every single time. Thanks so much George.

@@TheAntiqueNomad Oh for sure - everything comes at a price. And, in a way, that is what your life is about isn't it? Working so hard to try and save the remnants of our past lives that new technology has so often pushed into obsolescence? Thankfully, people like yourself and others realise the cultural and historical importance of rescuing and preserving the many and varied items that reflect a place in time that is long gone. We can only hope that this interest in old things will continue long after we have gone and perhaps someone will build a huge sculpture made from old IPhones 🙂
