In reference to the watermelon soda, during the 20th century librarians purged bookshelves of racist materials including the ten little type books leading to their rarity today. As scholars study derogatory stereotypes, the erasure of history, and items such as these, is most often known as whitewashing. While this genre should not be produced or touted as exemplary today, their historical significance is immeasurable when they are solely employed as artifacts and as tools of instruction. How can society expect to be better if they don't know how or why to do better? Thank you for having the conversation and not shying away from this aspect of their existence.

About 6 years ago , while looking at a stack of sterioptican pictures a series of some were a lynching and the crowd watching it. I discreetly showed the store owner what was in the booth and he thanked me, . I cant imagine the uproar it could cause now . History happened and we must be sensitive yet reasonable about artifacts.

What a load of crap.

I sure do enjoy your type of content over the Goodwill thrifters. No offense to them, I enjoy them too, but I want to hear the history of antiques and vintage. I’m not a reseller, just an avid collector of old cool stuff. You have taught me so much, thank you!

You are so nice to educate people like me who are just starting out and I don’t know people with your knowledge. A lot of individuals who are very knowledgeable don’t like to help beginners, so thank you

History is history no matter how many want to erase it. If not learned about we could be doomed to repeat it.

I feel like I’m Enrolled in a reseller master class. And I want to keep learning!! 🎉

I love that the dealer was so thorough. One of my huge pet peeves is when someone (especially online) doesn’t put any info except title. I have passed up buying from certain sellers when they consistently put zero info. Nobody wants to ask basic questions for every piece. At minimum, people need to put measurements.

Thanks, George for your excellent instruction. I like how you show us novices the difference between authentic & repros, also sleeper unmarked pieces & bolos. Almost makes me want to ask older friends if i can poke around in their attics & garages. Notice, i said...almost 🤣

My cousin Micheal Ansara was in several episodes of Star Trek....from the original series thru the subseqent iterations...

What a great informative and educational show, very good.

Your knowledge and teaching ability is superb, George!

I grew up right next to the Estes model rocket factory in Colorado during the 70's and 80's. My brother and uncles were very much in to building and launching the rockets out in the pastures next to our house. I remember after launching, a parachute would open and the rockets would fall to the ground. I remember the boys running across the field in the tall grass trying to see if they could find them. After I moved away in the 90's the factory burned down. Not sure if it was ever rebuilt or not. But when you showed the Star Trek one it sure did bring back some memories!

Love me a detailed tag❤️

I did not know that I would see a $7,000 geode by the day's end, especially one as large as those. Mind blown. I had no idea geodes that big were out there, much less at an antique mall in Vegas. I had rainbow suspenders that I wore nearly every day for a time in the 70s. A few years ago, I gave them to my buddy Scott's daughter. When Scott saw them, he wanted to be the one to wear them (he's a harmonica player who endearingly refuses to adhere to modern trends) but they were far too small. Was SO glad you went solo on this Vegas (antique mall) video. No interruptions of mindless drivel suited me fine.

Hello from cold snowy Springfield George! The tumbler @ 13:26 is in French. "A Votre Sante" translates to "To Your Health". My mom was from France 🗼. Ty for an other fun video!

This was a fab video! That Star Trek wall would have gotten me in trouble (as my name suggests) and as a geologist, those amethyst towers would have been heart breaking to leave behind. They have been on my list of future pieces to collect since I was a child but as you pointed out, the prices are often very high.

The geodes here are beautiful. Those big ones with the purple crystals are referred to as “cathedrals” and are amethyst. The yellow ones are citrine. Pink is rose quartz. All of these are in the quartz family and are often from Brazil. Some are heated to enhance color. Heating amethyst can change the color to the more yellow hues. But all of these are more valuable if the colors are very vibrant and natural. This goes for these stones used in jewelry, also. Wide variety of values depending upon the quality. Note: amethyst color ranges from very pale lavender to very dark purple. Quartz crystals are found all over the world and is a very common mineral. Values are all over the place as well. Side note: agates are in the quartz family as well.

Ha we had a 58 Chevy convertible black w white rag top when I was a kid! It was a treat to have the top down on our Sunday family rides

❤big sky ceramics is something my mom had and loved when I was growing up- so they have really good memories attached to them, and they were "fancy" - so I could see buying them now as an adult if I found one I liked.

Greetings from the UK! You’re right, George, Courage is a large, old British brewery, that also owned lots of pubs (including the building and fittings) back in the day too. Landlords and landladies would be ‘tied’ to that company’s products, so they could only buy their beer, spirits and soft drinks from the brewery that the pub was tied to. If you were a ‘free house’, you could buy beer etc from whomever you liked. Was/is the same system common in the US too? Love finding out such fascinating info from your videos, a lot of items that you don’t come across here so much - thank you!🎉

Tab o yeah!

You might never see this comment but I just had to add it. I have recently discovered your videos and been binging a little. Great information. I am watching this video a year out and recognized the Bakelite jewelry right away as something that I was bidding on in an auction. I live near Paradise and enjoyed learning more about the owner of these antiques I’m bidding on. Thanks for all the good information!

My husband and I shot off many Estes rockets at our closest dry lake bed in California. We did this for several years in the 1970’s. My husband helped to run the family hobby shop in our town. It was so much fun.👍🏻😊 PS: my grandmother loved her standing birds beaks ashtray. She loved how the beaks held the cigarette.

This one was so much fun. Liked the Snow White pencil sharpener.

thank you George. I am not a collerctor just love hearing history you give.

Good evening, George! I used to have quite a lot of the old radio tubes, but they were lost when I moved here. I do have an old tube tester that was my granddad's. It is important to show the black Americana items. I have black friends, and they are interested in those items. Those Tab glasses reminded me of something - have you ever seen a 7-Up "Uncola" upside down pitcher? I've seen the glasses, but never a pitcher. I liked that linen blend Mother Goose book. Love Heisey glass! To me, Heisey is the pinnacle of clear glass. I'd seriously like to have a Heisey "Colonial" water set, but just have nowhere to put another set. I don't want too much pattern on Heisey - I like to show off the glass itself. I'd like to have that Spelter blacksmith statue. I'd make a hammer for him. I would've been frozen in the space where the geodes were. Those things have a mystifying effect on me. Loved the Old Paris vase! That's definitely my style of vase. I much prefer porcelain vases to glass ones. There were quite a number of things there that caught my eye. Thanks for the shop-a-long!!!

I love your videos, so informative. I am so exhausted be the over abundance of infomercials.

Lol I just love when you clock dealers on their incorrect tags. Lol so much fun!!

Very educational. My other favorite is Laura Caldwell who offers a totally different type of show but both are so enjoyable!

You have a very soothing voice. I listen to you to relax while falling asleep. Regards, Linda

I see and hear a lot of people that say or spell Heather's last name as Goldmine, but it is actually spelled with a c Goldminc. I have a number of pieces with her name on them.

Hi George, interesting video and thank you for maneuvering one handed with camera in tow. We drank gallons of Tab and it was nasty, but we were going to be slim! Funny, the glasses look shapely slim. Of course , I shun at the racist books and dolls, etc; but that was an ugly part of our history and history should not be hidden or erased as some try to do . Thank you for bringing it in the spotlight of what was and how far we have come from an ugly time, not so long ago.
