A Fabric Suit Steamer can move the old grease of any glass or ceramic items. Lots of towels to let the dirty water just run off. Start at the top. Add towels on sink sides in case something tips over, so no falling damage happens.
My uncle worked beach patrol in Oregon, came across all kinds of things washed in by the big storms. His collection of Japanese glass floats was amazing, different sizes and sometimes colors.
This is wonderful. I love how you share your knowledge with us and give us the small details about the items you find. I find it refreshing that someone can share what they know and not be stingy about the information. Thank you. Have a terrific day
I learned early in my career that knowledge has the power to make collecting more fun and help us all appreciate each others' tastes! I'm so happy to get to share
Ok so I am going to have to hug Nurse Flipper when I finally meet her for mentioning the Antique Nomad and how knowledgeable. I fell in love with an art piece 3 years ago. I found it for 2.00 at a yard sale during the 39 mile yard sale on Hwy 17 in Florida. I had no idea what it was. Now I do. No signature though. Mexican Feathercraft 💗 Thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge
You are a walking encyclopedia! I learn so much when I watch your video's. I love the green glass with the white gazelles. And of course all the quilts. Good luck in Florida!
What a great haul, George! Luv the lucite purse (even better than the toilet seat 😉)! Been seeing a lot of clean up around here, too! Thank God for the nice weather to have to do it in. Sadly, a fellow church member lost a family member from the tornado & we were afraid the spouse would pass, also, but thank God she pulled thru! Young, too, & would have hated to see their kids orphaned! As I was watching this & you started talking about the silhouettes I put you on pause, ran upstairs & grabbed the little one I just bought from a vendor's mall in Owensboro, KY to look @ the back. It's just black & white, an 8x6, but in perfect condition of a little girl w/ a watering can watering flowers. It says Garden Pastime & is a Reliance. The frame is carved wood & painted black. I only paid $3 for it. I also got a really pretty cream colored lacquered dresser box. It's handpainted & has a picture of a windmill & a stream. On the stream only it's iridescent. It's shape is unique, as it isn't flat & square, but rather the shape of an upright piano, but curved. It's in fairly good condition, even the latch, but the inside isn't & has these little clip things w/ tiny springs that i have no idea what it's for. I liked it too much to sell, for now. Hope you do well in FL! Have a safe & happy New Year!!!
Glad to hear you are having some success with relief there, very sad about the loss of life though. A cousin of my family here survived (barely) but her spouse did not. How neat that you got such a good deal on the Reliance Garden Pastime! I like the sound of your dresser box.
The Western Coca Cola Bottling Co. also advertised on the reverse side of the Vienna Art Plates, beginning I believe in 1907. This same, lovely, lady was marked with Western Coca Cola Bottling Co. in 1908 and according to my somewhat out of date, (2000 LOL,) I.D. and valuation book, she was valued at the time, marked by Western, at $375 in excellent condition. Time marches on and prices rise and fall. That said, whether with or without the coveted Coca Cola mark, she is still a stunner and wonderful find. Thanks for sharing.
Love those little Fenton shoes for sure. I use the salt bowls in my doll houses they are small enough to make into planters or whatever I need them for. At the end you showed TupperWare. I have been collecting quite a few of the vintage colors. Actually have a set of avocado canisters and the lettering is still in great color. You have a great day and stay safe out on the roads
It's an inside joke for the 90% of us who aren't color blind! I had a friend who was, he would dress in those colors all the time thinking they were shades of grey
I believe the toasting flutes you have are from the Waterford Millennium Collection and the two you have are "peace". The collection included peace, love, health, happiness and prosperity. Wonderfully informative video and as always your input and knowledge is unsurpassed.
Continuing to pray for your Dawson springs friends and family🙏 💗 you look Marvelous sporting feathers 🪶 Thanks for sharing your antique and collectible knowledge 💗
Hallo George, just started following you , courtesy of Laura Caldwell. What a great array of lusterware you found! I found a filthy teapot at Goodwill Bins a couple of years ago for $1. And thus a collection is started!
I am absolutely adoring the luster ware ~ I have a thing for bird watching and learning all the birds right now so I was really loving those pieces!! 🕊🦜🦢
In my day, and I consider myself more than just VINTAGE, what you call a trunk vase/bud vase, was considered a carnation vase because the long thin nature of the vase displayed the long stems of cut carnations to best advantage, In my time bud vases were low and squat with small holes, similar to a glass flower frog, or narrow mouth. They were more compatible with the shorter stems and delicate buds of smaller pieced............THERE: you have my 2cents worth........Cheers and Happy New Year
Hey George! That blown fishing net float really interested me. I like that kind of thing. Those Italian dresser boxes are something that would garnered my attention, for sure. I like the cedar one, too. That portrait plate is really nice and pretty. I can't get into the lustrewear things - no matter who made it - but you got a good collection of it. To me, it looks like a cellophane candy wrapper stuck to a piece of white porcelain...not my thing. Loved the quilts! That is something I've always really liked. Great video!!! Thanks for showing it to us!!! Happy New Year!!!!!
Cedar one turns out to be a candy box, I knew west coast and Maxfield Parrish candy boxes but didn't realize all these years that was one as well. I always like those portraits (on plates as well)! I agree about lusterware, it's a little out there but it's a fun attempt at apeing Clarice Cliff's Bizarreware. Happy New Year to you too!
Hi George. FTI, the wooden box with the cottage scene came with candy. I grew up in the 50's and my mom had several of those from left over Christmas candy. I have one now that i keep for old photos. Appreciate your knowledge. Thanks
Neat! I knew some of the California and Northwest candy boxes, but didn't know that one was as well. Explains why I've seen it a number of times, but I always like it!
Hi George, I am really enjoying learning about antiques and vintage items from your videos! Do you ever set up at the Labor Day Flea Market at Hillsville, Virginia? It is a huge event from Friday through Monday every Labor Day weekend.
Black Velvet paintings are rather fun too. Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, and Naked Women seem to come up all in a streak for me. Even found a Kiss grouping, sold that very quickly. Glad to see you fighting back, and getting ready for a sale. Happy New Year.
The Kiss set was very profitable. But that was the only one l ever saw. Thank you for highlighting my comment. And keep on keeping on, George. 🎂💓💖💔❤💞💝❣😻😽💗💕😇❄💘🍀🍀🍀🍀🎂💓💓💖💖💔❤❤💞💝❣😻😻😽💗💕😇❄❄❄❄😇💕💕💗🎂💓💖❤❤💞💝❣❣😻😻

Purple and orange are so dynamic when paired together!!! Thank you for sharing the fun goodies you have procured for Fla! When you get back to the west coast I'll have to take a road trip up north to come to one of the shows. Unless California pops on to the nomad map!!!! Lol!
That would be great! I'm overdue for California but there's mainly flea markets, used to be a good show in DelMar but I don't know if that still happens
What a great glass float. It looks like it has a bit of marine life encrustations, which is a good sign of authenticity. My father picked up a few on Midway Island and Kauai in the 60s.
George, I am interested in the silhouette with the swans and the blue jay, if available. I have the robin. Absolutely loved everything but the lust reward and quilts were fabulous! Thanks.
Thank you! I would need you to contact me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com to process an order. I know some silhouettes sold today, but I'll check to see if the ones you like are still there when I return to the show tomorrow.
So cool... the little vintage German Erzgebirge smokers. I was just checking up on those the other day for someone.. and was surprised to find they seemed very collectible. Prices $35-$100+ depending ;) They are fun...
I realize this video is 10 months ago but rhe Waterford Crystal was the Peace Taosting Flutes rom the Mellineium Collection. I hope you got st least $100 for the pair! . They also made the Prosperity, Love and 1 or two others. I had the whole set can't remember them all.
The little brass bells are technically not bells. They do not have a clapper. They are known as jingles to those familiar with Plains Indian regalia. They are made of scraps of metal, from old tobacco containers or other tin cans cut in to a semblance of an equilateral triangle with an arc configuration on the bottom side......There are hide dresses with long fringes and dozens of jingles. They enhance the rhythm when dancing. There are also hide dresses with elk teeth but thy do not jingle. The number of teeth reflect the status of the wearer. Incidentally, quite a nice collection of Japanese lusterware. I'm fond of it.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Forgot to say the buckskin dresses with long fringes and these jingles are called JINGLE DRESSES. Also the particular beads that are attached to the jawbone war club you showed are called PONY BEADS, because they were transported on horses from the East to use as trade with the indigenous tribes of the plains..
Hello, I don't know if you've been looking at the weather forecast for the Florida area. I'm sure your not going to be close to the storms, but be sure. Stay safe, and have fun
Hi George I was watching an older video where you was at an antique show in Florida. You had 2 amazing blue face vases. They had the manufacturers labels on the front of faces. What I want to know is if you was to take the stickers off would that effect there value. Thanks for any information.
George, George, George: I'm afraid my age is showing. Concerning the Japanese lusterware: in my day what you identify as a sauce pot was called a mustard pot. There were sauce DISHES, with companion under saucers and ladles. Also what you identify as a TUMBLE-UP was called a bedside water carafe, to be placed near the bed for night time use. A TUMBLE-UP was the size of a large shot glass, in triangular form and a pointed base so the contents needed to be consumed in one go. Many of these had a gal, either nude or in bathing suit, draped over the pointed bottom with her rump at the apex of the triangle and her arms holding the rim of the container....................FINALLY, we used to consider NORITAKE/MURIMURA, to be superior to the other Japanese companies. Their items were more carefully and artistically decorated and their size was a bit larger and better formed. NO MORE COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO. Brought back a lot of memories from my exhibitor days at shows.
I agree that Noritake was considered higher quality. A sauce dish is indeed not the same as a sauce pot, my colloquialism of mustard pot is likely a west coast parlance. I am familiar with the shot glasses you describe, I’d not heard that term used for them…a lot of folks seem to use the term as I did, but that could be common usage that’s become acceptable even if it was initially mistaken.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I"ve since gone to eBay to research the TUMBLE UP thing. Come to know I didn't find even one of the shot glasses that used to be so plentiful, but I did note many sellers are now calling your carafe TUMBLE UP; some continue to call it a bedside carafe...........Hopefully you enjoy the give-and-take as much as I do, Mr. George.
AND FINALLY,........... IN MY DAY, many of the antiques shows were vetted, which meant they were 100% what you call, "FANCY-SCHMANTSY." I get what you are saying that your booth/concept acts as a foil against such FANCY booths and nostalgia buffs are attracted to both the look and the more affordable prices.............Possibly these are the investment pieces of the future. Forty or fifty years ago the vetting committee would have asked the dealer to remove such pieces from the display before the show opened.
You bet! When I ran malls we wouldn’t allow items made after 1970 either. I used to pull offending articles and make dealers take them out. Now some of those same items are desirable
George, do you still have have any of your horns left ? I would love to buy the native piece and the first 1 you showed. I live in bonney lake, Washington. Send me your email and I can send me you mine and we can maybe do some business!. Love you
That's not what a straw mark means. The Myths There are several variations of the same myth that is used to explain the mark: a piece of straw got into the mould whilst the glass was being made and caused the mark, or a piece of straw got stuck to the still-warm glass cooling in the lehr and caused the mark, and even that it came from the straw that was used to pack the glass in. Of course, none of these explain the real reason. In fact if you think of the very high temperature of glass whilst it was being made, it’s obvious that any pieces of straw would immediately burn right off, and straw packing is never going to cause an indentation in the hard glass surface.
A Fabric Suit Steamer can move the old grease of any glass or ceramic items. Lots of towels to let the dirty water just run off. Start at the top. Add towels on sink sides in case something tips over, so no falling damage happens.

I have a quilt almost exactly like the yellow one you have. It was made for a friend of mine by her grandmother in the 1930s. I love it.
Me too!
when i was a kid, my aunt made glass grape bunches'. They were made of resin before resin was popular in art
That’s right!
Fun, cute things George
I have one of those Knights of Pythius short swords hanging on my wall and never knew what it was. Someone gave it to me years ago. Thanks George!

Interesting! I’d thought of them for long stemmed roses but I’m sure you’re correct as carnations were a favored flower to give when they were made.
I’d thought of long stemmed roses but you’re likely correct, since carnations were a widely popular floral gift when those vases were made
You should do very well in Florida as you picked up amazing things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I do think there's some fun items
I just sold one of those Marigold carnival glass vases made a nice little profit off of it. Mine was 12 in sold for $42

Hello, I don't know if you've been looking at the weather forecast for the Florida area. I'm sure your not going to be close to the storms, but be sure. Stay safe, and have fun
I''m glad I missed them! Had enough storm for awhile
A thought...What wast the point of the glowing glass...did they have Black light back in the Day?
No, they used uranium salt or oxide as a necessary ingredient to make certain colors, including custard and bright yellow-green
Hi George I was watching an older video where you was at an antique show in Florida. You had 2 amazing blue face vases. They had the manufacturers labels on the front of faces. What I want to know is if you was to take the stickers off would that effect there value. Thanks for any information.
I would say that if a label obscures the features and bothers you, steam it off (if the material won't be damaged) and attach to the bottom instead
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you
The ambulance drivers badge has the same name as on the sword...I think???

very light non-abrasive dish soap and water, repeatedly

How would you reattach the label that fell off of the east Germany piece? Is there a special adhesive?
I use good old white school glue because you can easily soak it off if you make a mistake. Other glue is often permanent

That's not what a straw mark means.
The Myths
There are several variations of the same myth that is used to explain the mark: a piece of straw got into the mould whilst the glass was being made and caused the mark, or a piece of straw got stuck to the still-warm glass cooling in the lehr and caused the mark, and even that it came from the straw that was used to pack the glass in.
Of course, none of these explain the real reason. In fact if you think of the very high temperature of glass whilst it was being made, it’s obvious that any pieces of straw would immediately burn right off, and straw packing is never going to cause an indentation in the hard glass surface.
Stay safe. Florida is doing a terrible job with covid19 vaccines and masking. Won't see you this year. Happier 2022!
Will be cautious! Florida actually has a rather high percentage fully vaccinated and masks are required at this venue
