This place is great, I love it. I liked the uranium vases quite a bit, I find it interesting that in today's world everyone is crying about the lead in the paint, uranium in the kitchen wares and how bad it is for their health. But as a child of the 60's I grew up with all that stuff and survived drinking out of the hose in the yard. lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

Hi George, thanks again for informative , entertaining your 🤗💕💕💕

My high school parking lot in 1970 actually had a couple of student driven Studebakers and yes, Karmann Ghias, Nash, Ramblers, and the Classic VWs. It wasn’t about being classic car driven, it was about affordability and easy to work on and keep on the road. My 65’ Chevy Bel Air cost $500, much less than the insurance for a male teenage driver’s yearly premium.

That's right, I bought my first Lark in college because it was cheap and economical I think I paid $800. It was already old enough to be a 'classic' (25+ years) then!

Thank you for encouraging antique malls. I always pass those up assuming it is too expensive.

Hi George, love your videos. You know your stuff well! Looking at Renninger's brought back lots of old memories. Back in the early 80s I used to do all 3 of extravaganzas. They were awesome back then and with so much great stuff and usually 1500-2000 dealers. I don't do shows anymore but run a shop on Etsy.

Paisley shawls are interesting They were wool shawls produced in and around the town of Paisley in Scotland and then the Indian export market started up (part of the British Empire) They copied the designs and produced things much more cheaply, basically undercutting the work produced in Paisley causing severe unemployment . Queen Victoria was touched by the plight of the Paisley workers and showed her support by always wearing Paisley produced shawls - and so of course they became popular and highly fashionable

To elaborate slightly, the motif did come from Iran originally and exports to the U.K. with the design came to the U.K. from Kashmir of high quality shawls, but the weavers in Paisley caught on to the design and individual weavers in their homes started producing shawls initially. As demand increased they banded together to improve production and shawls were produced there for approx 50 years. Some say that there were many reasons for the demise of the popularity of the design. Cheap imports of cotton rather than wool shawls, the Franco Prussian war interrupted imports from Kashmir , and that fashions changed and that it didn’t drape as well over a bussell. But the documentary I saw dealt with cheap imports and Victoria’s support

Thanks George, once again a super fantastic show!!

Agreed, for too long KZread videos have clued thrift stores in on the value of items so now you pay more, or the items are going online where everyone can bid against you. I choose to go to antique malls where many are willing to give you a discount if you are a repeat customer. The great finds are now at the antique malls or large antique stores.

Prices can fluctuate between similar items because of minor differences that might be hard to tell without study. We had an estate sale with a book that in blue cover was worth $10 but in orange $500, for example. It can also be that circumstances were different, I sold a Treasure Craft pitcher once for $140 that usually only goes for $50 on eBay, just because two people needed it in time for Thanksgiving. The next week, the next one sold for $51 again.
