All those newspapers and pics you throw away are desired by junk journal enthusiasts. Usually 10 pieces of whatever can run $15-20. The slides are also desirable. They usually sell 30 slides for about $15. Well worth trying to sell on Market place. You will have people wanting to buy.

Came here to say that, and all the old letters too

This entire locker is such a valuable beautiful time capsule of a man's lifetime works. It's priceless.

Sure hope you did some research, Jack!! Check to see if there is an Orchid Society near you. The wood and all of those pots were probably used together to earn the awards at the orchid competitions. Also, you're missing out with all of the old ephemera. Junk journalers like me will photocopy the deteriorating papers to have the old ads and headlines. There IS a big market for it!! Makes me very sad to see it all go into the trash! Even scientific papers with graphs and scales are great. The small "kiln" is probably scientific equipment that was fabricated for some specific experiment -- back in the day you couldn't just order stuff on Amazon -- you had to engineer it yourself. There's also a lot of interest in vintage documents regarding Nuclear Power theory and production. I'd buy all of those stamps and old envelopes and the little wax bags in a HEARTBEAT!!!!!! Even the empty stamp collecting albums are TREASURE to me!!! PLEASE sell them on Whatnot!!

Crafters love old books, paper, old photos, slides, rocks etc , lots for your on line auction

Universities buy old books if they become part of the Studies course for reference, i work in Acquisitions in AUT, so it would not hurt to list them on Amazon, just in case, if they are rare. Its a fun job.

This was a fun locker to watch you go through it. For me, seeing the old coins was so cool. It had quite a few antiques, too. You were saying “mid-century” so much it made me wonder if I'm “mid-century” too? 😄 I'm 62, so I'm a little over half a century old. 😄 Thanks for being so kind and taking this locker for free from the elderly couple. Bless their hearts.

I sincerely hope that they are not watching this programme, it is their treasures, what a life they had.

Those aluminum trays sell for big money! They're double layered trays and air flows through them for a perfect two-sided browning. They sell for $60 each!

It's a copper wash tub boiler, used to "boil" clothes clean on an open fire or wood stove. +/- $75 to 100 in the Midwest if there are no holes in it.

I sold a scale pretty much like that for $75! I can’t believe someone at the better market wouldn’t buy it.

Love the Gumps figurines.

Thought you might be interested the Australian coin is one that is highly sought after. Copied from a Google search:- The value of a 1943 Australian penny can range from $20 to $250, depending on where they were minted and their appearance. This is because the 1943 Australian penny experienced mass production compared to other coins, as the country was in the middle of World War 2 during 1943, meaning the need for currency was higher than normal.

With the background of the owners those rocks may include some URANIUM ORE. Might want to get that checked out.

Old Christmas ornaments sell all year long on EBay worth some big money

This locker brought me back to my childhood! That blender is identical to the one my 90 year old mom still uses. And I think that rag doll is known as a Topsy Turvy doll; it has 2 heads, and you can flip the skirt, depending on which doll head you want to play with. I had one from the late 1800’s, which interestingly had a blonde head on one side, and a black doll on the other.

The two pieces you first picked look like Purple Heart and Ebony. Both are equatorial species and are generally very expensive. The long narrow piece of ebony could be worth $100-$200 dollars. It also looks like it would be long enough for a finger board for an acoustic guitar

Fun locker to go through. Thanks for sharing. And, yes I have been patiently waiting on the video from the estate sale. I love estate sales. Glad you mentioned it. Hope it is out soon.

The Crocks in the corner could be very valuable depending on the maker also

Oh my those flat sheet cake pans are bakery type ,heavy duty !! Those wood deer we used to make those years ago and sell them LOL

Free is my favorite four letter word!

Given the age of the owner and the subject matter of his research, I think I would go over everything with a Geiger counter. And maybe take some iodine, too. Just saying.

WTG Jack & Jana. Stepping up to help an older couple and for no charge is awesome. There are some good suggestions in the comments below on the value of some of the items you found.

There are Sterling silver buttons and cufflinks

Since you seen a generous person, I would recommend taking whatever medical equipment you find, call your local homeless shelter and donate them there. Some stuff they can't take but give them a call on the crutches.

Hmm...pottery shards, from Santa Fe? Hard to tell if those are legitimate collectables. Most pottery shards found in historical locations are forbidden to pick up.---Pictures at an Exhibition album in that stack. The first album I ever bought was a Leonard Bernstein's conducting album, music we played in High School band. Still one of my favorite music albums. I have it on CD & cassette! Lots of history behind that music for me.---I think those sand bags in the sewing box were for holding down delicate fabric when cutting out patterns, because the seamstress wanted to avoid pin holes.

So cool! I would love half of that stuff, even the slides! 💖

Take those aluminum trays to DeAnza. They are great.

I know you are in business and clearing lockers to make money which is an amazing job I would love to do what you do. I do feel you have a responsibility when finding specialist research stuff especially old such as the orchids to see if it is of interest to horticultural societies. It’s part of history and would have taken years of work and may be important.

People will definitely buy old album and letters if they don’t want them back. We use them in making art journals and what are called junk journals.

Like a time warp. He sounds a very interesting guy to talk to, would love to read those letters n look at those old photos too. For someone on very little sleep you sure can work hard still. Nice one 👏👍🏻❣️

The fancy small pots are sometimes used to plant orchards

Well since you got it for free, then everything you sell those items for is gravy. I'd be happy if that was a locker I got for free to resell. A lot of those old newspapers are collectable. Please make sure the family gets back all those family photo's. Someone in that couples family will want them I'm sure.

I wish more care and respect were used in the handling of this locker.

what a fantastic locker with lots of neat intresting thing ive never seen before , a real treasure trove

You always make it interesting Jack. That Japanese vase is so pretty. Take care ❤

Hello Jack. Let's see what's inside of this free abandoned storage unit. Everything looks awesome.

Set a piece of cardboard underneath the reindeer with wax out in the sun. The sun will do most of the work and melt away the wax. Anytime you are dealing with wax, let the sun soften the wax for you. I do this all the time when I want to clean the wax off of whatever it is.

Those Shiny Bright ornaments you were unexcited about usually sell for decent money. I sold a decent size box of them for $80. I always pick up Shiny Bright for the right price. I am not sure what kind of margins you look for in reselling but I would keep those to sell for sure. Especially since you had them in the boxes and the colors looked to be in excellent condition. Also, some old ornaments that look like stained glass can be shell and those in sets like you have can be worth money. Even so, with as many as you had in sets, they would probably sell pretty decently. Everyone has their niche though.

All of those slides could be given to the orchid society

The bamboo prices go with that tub it's fontai n

The 2 smoky glasses that are in with the barware look like glasses that came in boxes of Duz detergent .
