They Had No Idea! | Antique & Vintage Knowledge Really Pays Off
Shopping southern flea markets is fun! There's a strategy to finding the old stuff and finding the deals in these hybrid antique mall/junk store/vendor malls. One trick we show in this video procures a scarce piece we can sell for a 2000 percent profit!
Beyond the bargains, this place has a surprising amount of really nice antique and vintage for us to share! We're in Paragould, Arkansas, so we find lots of interesting pieces of that state's two early 20th century potteries (Niloak and Camark), but that's only the beginning.
From mid-century art glass and enameled soda signs to Victorian jelly cabinets and cotton-based art, this shop has a lot of really collectible and truly vintage stuff, sold alongside (and sometimes intermixed with) used clothes, cheap household products, garage sale goodies and import junk.
We show how we ferret out the bargains and sort the old from new, then wrap up with a short haul video where we show what we find!

LMAO..you fill them with the magic moments of a lifetime and sometimes your children and sometimes you can't get them out .... I'm still laughing lols
Your knowledge is so vast! I’m astounded.
Dang, George! You just downloaded in 45 minutes, into my brain, about a year of information I need to know about antiquing! Whew, I'm exhausted! I think I'm going to have to watch this video again just to make sure I've got it all! Thanks for the download, you are like a walking, talking encyclopedia! So fun to go antiquing with you!

So interesting, George. Love that little blue bird.
I’m in Paragould and can’t believe that I missed you. I learn so much from watching your channel. One reason that prices are so low here is because most, here, don’t know what good stuff is and what bargains we have. Thus making it a great place for collectors to come shop. We have several antique stores and flea markets in the area, so come back soon.
My mom is in Rogers. She's an Illinois transplant. I love to visit her and go to the shops! I believe she's been to Paragould.
Dear George, Every time I watch one of your videos I fall a little bit more in love with you. You are so kind and just so smart! Love, MI Turtle Lady
You are so close to where I was born in Arkansas. I miss my home there. Did you go to Dyess and visit Johnny Cash's hometown. My great grandmother and her family lived across the street from the Cash's. Love your videos thanks so much.

The Dog N Suds brought back fond memories. We had one in our town in the 60’s with that same sign. It was close to our High School and we would sometimes sneak out and go there for lunch. 😂❤️😂 The Whiting and Davis bag was in great condition and a good buy.

OMG!!!!!!! I’m racing back to my local Goodwill first thing in the morning!!!!! Yesterday I saw two clear glass pieces with the Blenko Blue Sky with those “mountains” at the bottom!!!

They were there… BUT… not Blenko 😭 they were Bali slump glass bowls designed to sit on driftwood… only they didn’t have the driftwood… decent sale prices on them with the driftwood but because they didn’t have that I left them… BUT… found a Ken Edwards Tonala Ram!!! So I’m still happy! I searched for the driftwood and even asked if they had come together and no joy! But at least now I know what I’m looking for 🤪

Hi George 🌹What a great stop even though you didn't get alot. Love the Whiting and David purse. I actually have a jelly cabinet (cupboard) in my kitchen it holds my cans. I have a wonderful old piece that had an old cabinet that had a Radio or TV in. Someone took it out. I have my microwave on it. It's a solid wood pc. I got it for $8 at an estate auction. It was in a garage and FILTHY. But I had checked it over and knew it would fit perfectly in the spot I had a microwave cart I hated anyway Love the box the gloves was in. I have several glove boxes but they are padded slick material. Love them. I also use the Method soap but I use the coconut water. It's great and smells SO Good. Safe Travels and have a Great Week😘
I had no idea you were coming through Arkansas! My husband and I frequent this Flea Market & I would have loved to meet you! Paragould had a 7up and Dr. Pepper Bottling Company. My husband's father grew up in Paragould. We live 25 minutes in Caraway, Ar. - Home of the American Redheads ladies basketball team. Unfortunately, a tornado hit our town a few years back and it has really shrunk in size, a bit like the town where you live in Kentucky. I am an avid viewer! We sell part time on Ebay as a hobby (fancyvintagefinds) Thanks for sharing - We have learned so much from you.
Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge! It is interesting and then fun to recognize pieces out in the wild because of your info.
Good evening, George! I liked that Niloak Mission Swirl pottery. With the colours being in the clay itself makes it really interesting to me. I would've had to dig through those fishing lures next to the tether car. That trout planter was a nice one...I'm happy I got most of mine years ago, when the prices were like $5.00. Thanks for mentioning the green drip saucers! 🙂 Those things are like trying to put together a Fenton "Orange Tree" table set😵💫 I'd have never thought they would be so difficult to find. Loved the Dr Pepper sign! That music cabinet was amasing! I have several of the white and gold celluloid boxes - collars and cuffs, gloves, handkerchiefs, etc. I liked that Beechnut tobacco tin. The annodised aluminium has always been a favourite of mine. I just had to add a beverage set of it to my collection😀 I'm amased at the amount of Dr Pepper in that mall/flea market! It's quite nice to see that! I'd love to have one of the clocks or a thermometer. Wow! That Blenko piece was a phenomenal find! 😲 I know you're proud of that one! That was a really enjoyable premier!!! Thanks for the take-a-long!!!

Hi George. I've had that same Blenko vase for maybe 4 years. Could not figure out what in the world it was. Thought it was supposed to sit on an underplate that fit the groves or something. I was soo shocked to hear it was Blenko Big Sky. I see yours going for over $500 today. Thanks to you I know what I have and will get it out of storage now!
