I'm a local and I'm 75 years old now and when I was a child I remember going in there with my father and we were looking at Surplus World War II items, it's changed a lot it's not what it used to be but I'm glad you're still in business and doing fine
Had a great one in my town as kid. I loved that place. Got some affordable camping gear as a Boy Scout. Love the field jacket. My favorite garment for many years.
This was a Treet! The first Army Navy surplus store I went to in 1972 was M & G surplus.I still have fond memories of those days and I probably did business with his older realatives! I am an avid surplus user to this day as I just bought a large supply off of eBay.
"M&G" Thanks Jen, was fun to watch. I remember we used to get uniform items at the one in State College. The marine options really loved that place. I still have the gloves that I bought to wear with my uniform.
I. Goldberg Army-Navy in Philadelphia was founded in 1919 as I recall- Surplus was an old industry by 1946- there were plenty of surplus places long before Goldberg... Bannerman's Island was a surplus seller in New York state, developing from Bannermans surplus business at the end of the civil war...
I Goldberg's was a treasure trove for me as a kid in the1960's and 1970's. We'd take the bus over from South Jersey, visit the Franklin Institute, grab a hot dog or soft pretzel from a street vendot for lunch and then head over to Chestnut Street to visit to Goldbergs to go "treasure hunting". At that point there was still plenty of WWII items and if you dug through the bins, you could even come up with items from WWI. My dad, and plenty of other WWII vets, bought their work clothes there when they returned from WWII. Over time the GI surplus disappeared, replaced by work clothes and boots, camping equipment and knock-off military gear. A second store opened in Cherry Hill NJ, but it was never as good as the store on Chestnut Street.
My dad was a kid in the early 50s. And there was an Army/Navy store in the neighborhood. Of course he LOVED it. He spoke with glee about all the cool things he and his friends (who all played WW 2 / army all the time) could buy there cheaply. I still have one of his canteens.
In preparation for a long hitchhiking trip way back in 1970, I visited an Army surplus store in Dayton, OH. Bought a large shoulder bag and a pair of leather jump boots - high top, halfway up the calf. Just what I needed, great for hiking and camping, too. Still have them, I wore the boots to climb poles for the Telephone Co. (In the days before bucket trucks) and other jobs as well. They've been resoled 3 times. Americans made things to last back then.
My dad used to take me there when I was a kid and it was better than Disney Land. Funny as I was just taking about this to a friend this past weekend, and now this shows up in my feed.
M&G I have visited a surplus store in Port Clinton Ohio a few times. So many cool items in there. I have bought a few patches and pins from there. Thanks for sharing this video
(M and G) I loved walking through the store every few weeks while studying at ODU. I hadn't found anything similar to this when I moved away; the breadth of things there is incredible!
M&G Sales is more than a local landmark, but a shrine of all things military, especially our servicemen. This documentary was well informed and beautifully edited. I've just subscribed to "Walk With History". Thank you! ("M and G")
That was fun! Thank you for a unique experience. Well done. I enjoyed the background and the first hand look. One of your gifts is you are so authentic in your interviews and your reactions. It makes the "listener" feel like they know you. i wish you every success! I will keep sharing your link so others will discover you too!
“M and G” Love this video. We had a surplus store close to where we live. They closed a few years ago. Certainly miss going and looking around. I sold all my surplus gear after I got out of the Marines. TY Jenn. Cheers.
From a combat veteran and paratrooper, great video and I appreciate the effort made by the owners and host to educate the audience about our country’s military history. M & G!
I wish there were more army navy stores around because it is amazing what you can find. I could not help but notice that during you interview with the owner... in the background was a Seabee Flag! Great Video! Can Do!
Agreed! These stores are so much fun to visit and you absolutely can find some amazing things there. This is a fun store that we continue to visit…thank you for watching! 😁
@WalkwithHistory it could have been much cooler if only I had been older. my fathers reason for going there was to buy work clothes. he worked in construction. they also carried such things as camping kits and German WW2 uniforms.
Grew up in Seattle in the 50s and fondly remember the fabulous army navy surplus downtown which of course are sadly gone infact most of Seattle has been destroyed. Friedman is a common name for many hauk shops and such which their many of all up and down 1st Ave when the town was alive and well.......
I grew up in Vegas in the mid 90s. My father had a hard time connecting with me since I was the first and only child my parents had. He was honorably discharged shortly after Desert Storm and we left South Korea for California and a few months down the line, Nevada. My grandparents retired there after my grandfather retired from the air force, shortly after Vietnam ended. One thing my father and I would do is go to the army/navy store. He called it having "guy time." This was when I was first introduced to such a store and I thought it was so cool to see actual military gear. My dad was a prepper, so he would stock up on MRE's. The first surplus item I ever got was a boonie hat in M81 Woodland. Eventually I would have a decent collection of them in different patterns. Unfortunately I no longer have them, but now in my 30s, I still visit surplus stores. Practically the adult version of a Toys R Us for me, next to a hardware store of course. 😂
"M and G". Great video, very interesting. I love military surplus, it's a great way to get camping gear and many other useful items at reasonable prices. Thanks for posting!
"M and G" That was totally fascinating! I loved the interviews with the owners. A person could get lost in that store and not even care. Thank you for finding yet another place to guide us through. Just wondering...did you leave with anything cool???
@@WalkwithHistory I've known them since Larry and I were kids !!! Bought nearly all my camping gear as a Scout from them !! His Dad was AWESOME !!!! I had a secret crush on his sister...I could never come and tell her that..I love both of them as FAMILY !!! Have a blessed day !!!
"M&G" With all the bases here in NC, we had some great surplus stores, but one of the best was Papy's Surplus. It was just outside of Kinston, NC, near Goldsboro (think Seymour Johnson AFB). EVERYONE on the way to the beach would stop there, the stop a little further down at King's for BBQ, as that was around the halfway point from Raleigh. As a very young child, my mom would tell me SHE stopped there at the same age, and her dad, a WWII vet would go in, and get some work clothes, or a part for his surplus Jeep❤ They closed a few years ago. Considering my mother was born in 52, and I remeber her telling me at age 5 or 6 she was my age stoping in Papy's, I bet it was started around the same time as M&G was.
I love M&G! Larry and Laura are great, they will chat with anyone just as they did Walk with History! I've bought several items from them, including a HGU-56/P helicopter helmet (although it was for a USN hovercraft) and some "G-pants" (inflatable chaps that push blood back to the torso in high G situations). Definitely a place I go to whenever I am anywhere in the Norfolk area!
I've never been to M&G Surplus, but growing up in the Richmond area, I used to love visiting surplus stores. Hull Street Outlet (HSO) was, and still is, probably the best known in Central VA, but I haven't stopped in there for years. I recall HSO being fascinating as a kid in the '80s, but by the late-'90s they were a lot more hit or miss, with the usual Rothco and other commercial stuff thrown in with overpriced surplus, and few interesting and/or rare items. There was another store on Southside, just inside of Chesterfield County, that was a lot smaller, where my dad bought me a medium ALICE pack for me to use in middle school. Around 35 years later, I still have that rucksack. It was in the late-90s when I met the proprietor of a "real" surplus store. No neatly displayed racks of BDUs and shelves of boots (though his shop might have once been orderly). Definitely no imported commercial knockoffs and expensive "survival gear". The gentleman had a corner store just down the street from Fort Lee in Petersburg, and walking in was always an adventure. Up front, he had some rarer and more collectible items in and on a glass display case that might have once held only his cash register. Among those items was an original Richmond Light Infantry Blues dress uniform. If you could get past the first few piles, you'd find where he probably started years earlier, with racks holding hundreds or thousands of uniform components from various eras (mostly Cold War-era). The first few piles were the key, though, as there was no organization, and you never knew what you might find after digging for a few hours. He was a collector of militaria and war-era gear, so I made a few trades, like a 1967-dated machete sheath for a newer one and $20 cash, or Vietnam-dated canteens and canteen cups for even swaps. I used some of the stuff and sold other things at the flea market just before enlisting, so war-era stuff wasn't as valuable to me at the time: it'd get beat up the same in the woods, or if I sold it, I'd make the same for a 1968 canteen as I would for one made in 1988, while he'd get a little bit of a premium. I lost track of him after I joined the Army and have long since forgotten his name. I'll have to put my PI skills to the test, I guess.
M&G looks great! I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area and at one point we had at least 5 or 6 surplus stores up until COVID happened and now we only have like 2 that I know of now and one them just opened post COVID and the other one is on the Eastside and is the oldest remaining store in Cleveland.
@@WalkwithHistory the one on the Westside I've been to which is called Forest City Supply. The one on the Eastside I've never been to since it's kind of in a neighborhood that's becoming a bit rough.

Back in the 60"s, you could go to your local Army surplus store and fine crates full of German WW2 helmets left over from WW2 for dirt cheap. Little did people know each one of those helmets would be worth a fortune decades later. You just never know what you will fine that will hold value
I find it interesting that every old Army Navy store even in little towns , ( mine included) were owned by Jewish people .. Not saying anything in a bad way
@WalkwithHistory a hat, a cap, a PC. I was in the Marine Corps myself, but I didn't quite a bit of training on Army bases and even an Air Force base. Outside of acronyms, they don't have much in the way of unique vernacular like the Navy and Marine Corps. The Air Force even calls their barracks dorm rooms
@@WalkwithHistory one called Hull Street Outlet here in Richmond that's been around a long time. I just miss the old a&n stores that weren't really Army Surplus but a line of clothing and shoes
@@WalkwithHistory Not to mention nice, unused, bright shiny bayonets All kinds of meat clothing with German national socialist party pins and insignias and swastikas also perhaps grenades with the explosive removed but a sloppy job where they kept in the firing caps
I used to go to army Navy stores i used to by Austrian mountain boots 4 pair at a time,and i never bought used clothes but i bought a few new field jackets.i bought some surplus co2 cartridges to and they were total junk.i stopped buying stuff from them because the prices they charged for used stuff got so expensive i might as well just buy new stuff.i went to i goldberg a big chain army navy not the nut job stores like in this video.
I loved those old Army Navy Surplus stores! As a kid wandering around looking at the deactivated torpedoes and artillery shells was just fascinating.
They really are great places to browse!
I was stationed at NS Norfolk in the early 80s. Lots of stuff got 'transferred' to the local Army-Navy shops around town!
😂
M&G is great. As a 3rd generation longshoreman I have been coming in there since I was a kid for my Dad's work clothes. Now I go there for mine.
That is so cool!!!
I'm a local and I'm 75 years old now and when I was a child I remember going in there with my father and we were looking at Surplus World War II items, it's changed a lot it's not what it used to be but I'm glad you're still in business and doing fine

@ Thx. The A/N surplus was a godsend in his poor Rust Belt city neighborhood- lots of people wearing Navy peacoats and Army parkas in the winter.

I used to go to army Navy stores i used to by Austrian mountain boots 4 pair at a time,and i never bought used clothes but i bought a few new field jackets.i bought some surplus co2 cartridges to and they were total junk.i stopped buying stuff from them because the prices they charged for used stuff got so expensive i might as well just buy new stuff.i went to i goldberg a big chain army navy not the nut job stores like in this video.
