    I mis-stated that .585 is 18k gold! It is, in fact, 14k gold.

    • @OriginalNethead
      @OriginalNethead 2 года назад +2

      9K is 37.5 percent and German 8K is .333 if that's any use. British 9K shows up here sometimes, but the German standard doesn't qualify as gold under US standards. Melts just fine though. I forget the numbers for 20k and 21k etc.

    Thank you. Your videos are so informative. Lots to remember. I have been collecting since 1970 and I have lots of stuff. Lots of Roseville and McCoy pottery.
    I could go hunting everyday of the week and not be bored. I see it at an antique shop but buy at yard sales and resale shops. Love love love old stuff and now I know more about my collections. Thanks. ☮️✌️✌️❤️. Edit. I have given away valuable stuff because people told me I had too much. They were wrong. you can never had too much. I keep it dusted and move displayed around for rainy day fun. So there !!!

    I guess I am fortunate, mentioned to my son that the thought of my china going to a thrift store saddened me. He looked at me as if I was crazy and stated thrift store? I am keeping it for myself and I will pass it to my oldest. My niece chimed in I want the tea cup collection! My son is 33 and my niece is 24.

    I daily use a Pope-Gosser china that was discontinued in 1941. I bought 90 pieces for $50 and can easily replace pieces because it was a popular pattern produced in large quanities. I love the elegant weight and feel of the pieces, and have no problem hand washing because of the gold rim and hand painting.

    I so enjoy watching any video you’re in or that you produce. I appreciate the excitement you have when being shown an item you know little about, that you can talk with the owner or someone else who knows about it. It’s a great learning experience for you, and I’m grateful that your ego doesn’t keep you from sharing new info that you have learned.
    I think it’s marvelous that you have the desire to travel to different places to learn about subcultures in the USA and items they created or used to make their lives easier in the time they were alive. Finally, the history about items is

      Yes, I agree, too. A few years ago I scaled down drastically. I asked my daughter to come and take what she wanted. The rest was sold and donated. I have a small but lovely collection of small dolls and Steiff animals from the 40s, 50s, and early 60s all in pristine condition. I was dismayed when she decided not to take them. I couldn't bear to sell or donate them so I do still have them. Fortunately, as I mentioned, it is a small collection that takes up very little space and I can enjoy them. Maybe my daughter will have a change of heart after my passing and decide to keep them after all.

    Hi George, I just have a thought. It happens now and then. It amazing to me that so many antiques are so inexpensive. These items lived though history for over 100 years. Its amazing to me that they even made it in one piece. I'm a collector and truly enjoy your knowledge of antiques and vintage. Im lucky if I can remember my name these days. Happy smiling days to you.😊

    • @questionauthority4038
      @questionauthority4038 2 года назад +3

      Susan, I feel exactly the same. Why so many antiques will survive three times longer than I will, or more. And, unlike humans who become gray and wrinkled over time, many of these treasures remain as lovely as the day they were made.

    • @twistoffate4791
      @twistoffate4791 2 года назад +2

      It really is truly surprising that so many of these items are inexpensive. There are so many reasons why one would think they would be priced higher. It's the changing of the times that wreaks havoc on this industry.

    OMG...George, you were in my area this month & I didn't know. Bummer! Love the book. For many years, I worked for a publisher that has been in business since 1807. Old things make me extremely happy, especially when they've been well-loved and well-cared-for. I just sold an Eastlake sofa that had been my great-grandmother's, but I just didn't have a place for it. Don't worry though, I kept many of her smaller items & will love & cherish them.

      Westinghouse had Hall design refrigerator ware for their appliances. I have two rectangular covered dishes (big ones) that I love and got cheap before they were “collectable”. I also have two large periwinkle pots that I think they used to blowtorch metal in at work…they were going to throw them away. Not a mark on them.

    Watching replay. Sorry I missed you earlier.
    • very interesting about the applied gold on the porcelain being painted but not fired. When I was doing some China painting and ceramics, we had a liquid gold that we put on after the piece was fired, then it had to be fired again at a low temp. This stuff was very dark and nasty before firing. It had real gold in it. It would come out bright and shiny like jewelry afterward. I suspect it was nasty d/t chemicals ( maybe even mercury) to keep the gold in liquid suspension so it could be applied. I’m probably lucky I didn’t croak from some of this stuff. Lots of the glazes contained lead, and I used to “point” my brushes by licking them. Like the watch face painters.

    I am surprised you valued the Butterfly Wing Tray at only $75. I sold one that was not a picture, same size as yours but the whole tray was wings, it sold for $200.

      Not a picture and not saying “Rio” on it makes them more valuable so that makes sense. Nice sale!

    “Oh no you don’t not my good Haviland”…..Mrs Bailey. It’s a Wonderful Life.
    My mother had white Haviland and everyday Johnson Brothers that looked so similar that she could set a Thanksgiving table for twenty five. Invited guests got the good stuff. I remember writing name cards….and having to keep the Democrats across the table from the Republicans. Add alcohol and stir like crazy. Literally food fights. Grown people. Memories.

    I like this type of appraisal best rather than the owner sitting at the table with you rustling paper and ‘fretting’ over they wrote it all down correct. I find myself yelling at the screen, saying ‘be quiet and listen!’

    George I am really intrested in several things was wondering if I could purchase from you directly? Do you ever find, mail and keep in mind what someone is looking for (no rush) at good price.

      Hi there! I'd be glad to have you contact me regarding things that interest you. The items in this appraisal fair belonged to the attendees, however, and were not for sale.

      @@TheAntiqueNomad George I'm intrested in other things NOT in this particular video..I was just inquiring if there was a way I could contact you regarding what I'm searching for. I want to find someone I can buy from directly without the huge mark ups that unfortunately I'm not intrested in, due to being crippled I can't get out look for myself. Be blessed.
