SHOPPING ANTIQUE BACK ROADS | VINTAGE RESELLING DISCOVERIES

- THRIFTS, FLEAS & VINTAGE FINDS I TRAVEL KENTUCKY
A reseller frenzy on a rainy Tuesday morning? That’s the surprise at the end of a long Kentucky back road, where a small rural town offers an antique, vintage and reseller community spun off from the venerable Luke’s Town & Country Flea Market.
A Civil War era road takes us past tobacco barns, giant animals and small towns, not far from where both Lincoln and Davis (and yes, the Everly Brothers) heralded. Arriving in Greenville, we shop a few folks braving the suddenly stormy weather at the outdoor market, and find some good fresh buys on a mic, a maxim and the real McCoy at an indoor shed. The dealer flashes me prices as I pile them by my newly acquired camel seat.
Fortunately, Greenville boasts a handful of antique shops, vendor malls, and thrift stores, more than we can even shop in a morning! We discover cool collectibles and some special items in each, and into my van go architectural pieces, a signboard, Krome-Kraft and Alexandrite glass and more reseller picks.
There’s a ton more that’s fun to see that was left behind. When does a lamp use mineral oil? How does a dresser turn into a bed? Are those underpants a future collectible? See for yourself! This day turned from a rainout into a fun antiquing and vintage reselling pursuit.
Here are some more of the items we see along the way in this tour:
Quilt tops, 1950s modernist cat plaques, railroad lantern, cast iron teapot, Hull pottery, fire hose/reel, signs, 1910s Friar pitcher, Blendo beverage set, K-Nex display, Hall glove mold, Fenton cruets, rusty bed springs, enamel burner, aggregate benches, Victorian painted mantel, Lucite pedestal, cranberry glass, reproduction black memorabilia and Little Red Riding Hood ceramics, applied fruit art glass, formica and enameled kitchen tables, water skis, Young’s Treasures of the Heart, Royal Colonial Homestead dinnerware, King’s Crown, Cathy cookie jar, Japanese spice box sets, beauty parlor chair, Viking Epic, Full House characters, Mr. Peanut, Akro Agate, coins, advertising signs, etc.

O my man, as soon as I see your video up, I go and give you a thumps up, not just because I happened to like your style, but because a video from you means high quality to me, I am 60 yrs old, and I am still learning from you and a few others, plus it brings back so many memories, the things O see, I probably had in my house already in California and Mexico so I get to show my daughter what was in style in the 60,70,80, those are my favorite styles and yes I said 80s in my 20s I truly had fun back then. Hahahaha
Hi Patty! Those are favorite eras of mine as well. I really appreciate your support and I hope I find more happy memories for you
Just found your videos a few days ago and I have watched nonstop. As a matter of fact, I have left you on as I go to sleep and watch as long as my eyes will stay open. You are so knowledgeable and a lot of fun to "travel with". My husband and I hope to meet you in Georgia someday!
Thanks Pam! I'm glad you found me, please like/subscribe and tell your friends. I hope to see you there soon
Really enjoy your videos. I feel like I’m in antique school and learn so much. You’re a wealth of information. Slow children... lol...
I appreciate that! I want everyone to enjoy these things more so am glad to give info
I have never traveled through many parts of the U.S. and truly I'm finding your tours are giving me a feeling of familiarity for many charming places and people.
That's wonderful! Where are you from?
Thank you again for the lovely visuals on the buildings and surroundings. I also want to tell you how much I appreciate your calm voice in teaching us all about vintage and antics. Feel like I am getting an excellent education and having fun doing so.
That's wonderful! I'm definitely trying to expose my audience to a lot of interesting things
Great video George, I really enjoy the knowledge you bring to us viewers. Thanks for sharing.
So nice of you to say! Thanks for watching
George, my wife and I found you on RUclips and enjoy your episodes. Well done, concise, instructional videos that get your personality across as well. We look forward to seeing more. Tim
Thank you! I'm glad to have you join with us, I'm really having fun sharing and receiving knowledge from this great antique community.
@@TheAntiqueNomad 3:00 - 3:05 HEISEY COLONIAL "300" PITCHER,,,,, NOT INTERESTED ???
Thank you George! I just love your videos, you are absolutely the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to antiques and collectibles!
Aww thanks! I know a few who are more so but I hope to keep learning and spreading knowledge
Thanks for taking us along! I had a blast!
Me too! One of my favorite days shopping lately.
Great representation of Kentucky! And thank you for going over what is a reproduction or a fake and what is not. I recently got duped by a well known business in Lexington. They sold me one of those chef cookie jars that said McCoy on the bottom. It was a fake. McCoy never made such a thing. I did send you a picture and you knew right away it was a fake. I got my money back but they we’re so rude about it that they will never have my business again. Thanks for another great video George! ❤️
I'm glad you got the money back! A lot of people don't know the difference but it's important that people give an honest interpretation
I love the RC Cola sign!
Me too I had to buy it
Like the HIstory Channel, Antique Museum tour and travelogue all in one. One of the most informative & entertaining channels on thrifting and reselling, so enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Please like/subscribe and tell your friends. I try to bring all those aspects together, my goal is to unite the online and real world antique realms
@@TheAntiqueNomad I am subscribed and added you to my recommended list for my peeps. Thanks again.
Really enjoy listening to you -- you have so much knowledge and are so generous in sharing it with the rest of us!
Thank you, Heather! Pleaee like and subscribe and tell your friends, my goal is to expand people's collecting horizons and link online and real world antiques and vintage
Love your videos.I Your mind is like an encyclopedia of vintage and antiques. Thanks for your wonderful knowledge.
So nice of you to say! I'm glad you're having fun coming along with me
You are just a wealth of information George, I am learning so much listening to you!
Wonderful! Please tell your friends, I enjoy spreading information about all this great old stuff
Pleeeese, the next time you pass a beautiful doll house with porches and all, let me have a bit of a look-see! I just love them.
Yes I'll have to do more shots of backroad scenery
@@TheAntiqueNomad Well, that would be great, but I meant the miniature doll's house in the antique store. :}
You are the best wealth of information🥰
I knew I recognized the Big Pink Elephant....LOL. I live just down the road in Clarksville. I do remember Spuds McKenzie. The water skis made me remember my parents taking me to watch water ski shows as a child. Hope you have a great day!
Very cool! I had fun taking the back road, much more interesting than I-24. Thank you for watching and please like/subscribe and tell your friends
Great video George! Thanks! ❤
Another wonderful and informative video from everyone's favorite nomad! George is the real deal! 💗💗
Awww, thank you! I had fun with this one, it's great to be able to travel again
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
"And here's Bob the cat, who has no tail..." lol!! As for those formica tables & chairs, I have always wanted a set, but have no clue where I'd put it. As for the ship's wheel, if that’s what that was, I still recall the time Frank of American Pickers got burned by his purchase of one.
I will have to find that American Pickers episode, I don't recall that one but sounds like I could learn something important. I find formica sets at the big Springfield Ohio antique extravaganzas still
Hi, we are antique dealers from London UK and just discovered your videos and really like them! specially because we are planning to move to the Niagara region of Canada in a couple of years so plenty to learn from that side of the pond. You generously share your knowledge in a fun way, relax & calm manner (pretty strange to find on RUclips these days) with loads of information for people interested in antiques, well done!! keep the good work thanks!
How wonderful! I'm glad I can prime you for your antiquing adventures here. I love shopping in Canada and Niagara area has lots of options
Thank you! Following you also on Instagram, forgot to ask...if we see something in your stock that we may want to buy which is the best way to get in touch? do you ship to UK?
Glad you got to come back to Kentucky. Thanks for letting me tag along with you through your video.
Thanks Sandra! I really enjoyed taking everyone on this trip
Love your show! Always see something I've never seen before! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Please like, subscribe and tell your friends
Most informative enjoyed all of the video
Thank you for coming along on my fun day
Fun video George!
Thanks I had fun that day and fun showing it off
My daughter has an original McCoy pottery Aunt Jemima and there is very little paint left!
They painted the red over the glaze instead of firing it on so it scratches
You are full of knowledge and I enjoy learning from you.
I appreciate that!
Thanks again for a look into your wealth of information. Learn lots every time 👍
Glad to hear it! Hope to see you with the new one Sunday 8 pm eastern
Loving everything you are showing us but my favorite is the chair and matching trash can.
Thanks for making my day with your awesome videos and finds.
Hugs from California
Hi Maria! It's completely not my style at all, yet my eye always goes to toile patterns and I thought the way they matched it was really good! If I had a fancier house I would have some
I'm new to your channel and I'm having a ball watching you. I am soaking up the information. I have been Ooooing and Aaahhhing all afternoon. I look forward to seeing more of these videos. Have the Best Night 💙💛💚💜❤💛💜💙💚💛💜💜💜💚
Thank you for sharing your shopping and beautiful objects.
You are so welcome!
Thanks George for the tour around Kentucky! Also very helpful pointing out the items that are copies!
My pleasure! I don't like the idea of people paying real money for fakes
Oh my, that beautiful long mirror with the candle holders, breathtaking. Once again great video and scenery.
Thank you! Those tryptich mirrors get me every time.
Also a cookie jar from McCoy has crazing and much thicker walls. The reproducters are working hard. Lots of neat things in these stores.
You're right about that! Thanks for watching and hope to see you Sunday 8 pm eastern with a new video
Thanks for highlighting my comment. I just love old pottery, and you find neat things.🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇🐦🍄😇
Very enjoyable...Thanks George.👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for the information.
My pleasure! I had fun making this one and I'm glad you enjoyed it
Love the Coke thermometer.
I've recently found your channel, and I am in love! I sell antiques and vintage in Canada, I absolutely adore videos that I can learn from. Every video you make has so much helpful information about such a variety. I love your videos and now know some new items to watch for. Thank you for the amazing content!
Awesome! Thank you! It was good having you in the chat.
I learn so much from each video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I remember going to a Christmas tree farm that had a sign on the road "Slow Children Crossing". We had fun with that one!!! Poor kids!!!
I always think of that when I see those signs as well lol
Such a great video. I truly enjoy the way you show a variety of collections and give your opinion on the prices. As I said before, your knowledge is incredible, you speak so clear and fluently! I subscribed when you only had 1,500 subbies......look at the channel growing! I hope your channel continues to grow. Great job and always a pleasure doing business with you!!
Oh thank you for that! I'll get your post cards out Monday for you btw
@@TheAntiqueNomad no hurry George whenever you have time.
Had to chuckle at your comment about the sign that said, "slow children at play." So much to see & learn at all the places you went. Love watching your video's! Keep on truckin'! And, thanks so much for all your wealth of information!
Thank you! I'm glad you had fun, I enjoyed making that one
WOW! That was fun! Thanks for taking me with you! TFS Hugs!
You are so welcome
Fantastic tour!!! There were a lot of things that caught my eye...wish I could've been there😃 It's great the way you present these, and all the info you provide!!! The time flies by😏! Thanks!!! Always so much fun to watch!!!😃😃😃
Thank you very much, Mark! You have more advanced knowledge and collections than many folks I know, so it's really a compliment.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank You, George! Your premiers make my old brain remember things I'd let slip😳...😂😂 I enjoy that!!! You show things I've never come across, too. Always great to learn about different things!!! Never know when I might come across one of them😉
You are so informative, thank you.
I'm glad to be! I enjoy sharing the love and appreciation of all this old stuff
"Slow Children At Play." Slow me had to think about that for a second, lol. Love your videos!
I'm glad you're enjoying them! I like a little tongue in cheek humor
Hi George ❣️❣️❣️ love the Formica and enamel tables😊. The repros are such a shame and should have to be marked as such!!! That Murphy Bed was wonderful. I very much enjoyed the trip!!! Thanks
Thank you! Yes, he's honest about the repros but not everyone is.
Hey George I wish you would have talked more about Mr. Peanut, I have a Mr. Peanut jar ✌💕
I hope to find a bigger collection to show, he has a good story
@@TheAntiqueNomad cool I'll be waiting to hear it :)
I know I'm commenting about a year late lol but the Afghan with the 3d flowers I have one almost identical that my husband's grandma made us for our wedding gift 22 years ago. They are so pretty and of course ours is very sentimental.
Aww, that's sweet!
George thank you again for our Wednesday antique fix. Our thrift shops and some antique stores are opening.
Thank you! I hear things are starting to relax a bit where you are. I'm glad to provide your Wednesday night distraction :)
Haha - I admire how delicately you word things. “ There is another latex product that required another shape”. 😂. Well I learned something new there. 😜
I wondered if anyone would catch that! Lol
The "stinky cheese" container really tickled me 🤣
Me too I should have gotten it
Cute town. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you too! I'll keep on bringing more each week
Hi George. Had eye surgery today and can't see key pad well.lol. Really enjoy the town
Great buildings and wonderful shops. I can't believe how many so close. Stay dry and thank you
Hi Judy! I hope your surgery went well
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank You I am seeing a little better today. Hope all is well and fun weekend ahead for you.
Love your videos... so much knowledge. Thank you for what you do. Love love the trains
Thank you! I've always really enjoyed the trains. I'm glad you're having fun!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Always helpful and very interesting. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, more to come
Hi Mr. Nomad...you give great presentations! Can't wait until you get back home to Rennington here in Mt. Dora Florida. Im in Orlando, and would love, love, love to see you in person!🌹🕊🌈lm gonna watch out for you announcing next appearance!👁
I really hope to be there in November, providing we can have the show! Since it's outdoors, I'm betting it'll happen
I had a Hillman Minx when I lived in Victoria Canada!
Neat! They're cute cars
I love the antique mannequin heads! I’ve never seen those before. 🥰
I truly enjoy your videos, and your wealth of knowledge is impressive!
I appreciate that! I'm very happy to share.
Just found you today! What a fun adventure! Interesting and whimsical! I live in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle! So fun to tour with you!
So cool! I miss it there, I'll get back eventually but I'm having to stay in the Midwest where I can sell at shows and such for the time being
George!! WOW I use to have a yellow Formica table and my mother has one of those work tables! She also has a Formica table that has the 2 drop leaves! The pitcher that was sitting on the coke tray, my mother use to have the whole set!!
BTW I love that cow at the beginning!
The cow is near you in Guthrie, KY
I've never been there. Hey George ROAD TRIP!!!
Hi George. That glass you called Alexandrite glass. I thought it was damage caused by the piece sitting in the sun for too long. I quite like it though. Awesome video as usual.👍
The lavender shade in the sun colored glass always looks lavender, whereas the lavender color in the Alexandrite glass turns pale blue under florescent light.
Loved the video! I needed some antique nomad viewing so going back & watching older episodes i missed. I would like to have a vintage kitchen table & chairs😍i have the “cooky” jar by pearl china. Lol, i knew it wasn’t mccoy but i double checked when i got home. I do have some repros bc when I 1st started to collect BAmerican I pretty much bought any piece i ran across 🤦🏻♀️. I’m a little more selective now but can’t seem to unload the repros. Thanks for sharing. It’s always fun to travel along!
Thank you! I'm glad you joined the chat tonight. Repros are hard to sell, we all are exposed to them when we first start collecting but as your tastes and knowledge grow, people tend to want the originals
10:05 "There is another rubber product that they made that had a different shaped attachment" 🤔🤔😅😅😂😂🤣🤣😆😆
lol I’d forgotten that
You may be wondering what happened to "Slow Children Playing" when they grew up?
"Slow Men Working"
Ha! I love it. I might steal that if I see that other sign
The Antique Nomad
A joke from my many years of construction work.
George, I was wondering if you could tell us what exactly the other shape was that the Hall company made for the Latex factories? 🤣😂🤣 As usual loved so many of your picks and oh I love my boiled peanuts too! Made a couple of great batches at the house already this summer.
Sounds delicious! I think you got the answer to the other question lol
Interesting as usual George. Happy December🎄
Oh thanks, I enjoyed this video, it was a surprise all the way around
@41:02 I have the orange and white planter with the two flowers on each side (to viewer’s right lol)! ❤️
Cool! So many things in these stores that are fun to spot, I wish I had time to show them all
Gosh you are good! I mean really
Thanks! Sometimes I'm on
Hi! Love your videos! Trying to soak up all your knowledge! :)
Awesome! Thank you! The good thing is you can always rewatch the parts that interest you most
The swan was the real McCoy : )
Indeed! There were also fake McCoys (the cookie jars)
I was so sad to hear Spuds being put to sleep. 🤣
30:36 I have a rain lamp similar to that.
They’re fun! I show a woman in my Sparks, Kansas video who wears a shirt advertising that she’ll buy those
New subscriber here! Loved the video!👍🏼
Thanks for subbing! I'm glad you're enjoying them.
i do think lucy from the "peanuts" gang was the first career woman. lol
👍🏿👍🏽👍🏼👍🏾👍🏻
Thank you to a fellow Nomad!
I have about five of those spice racks have mine under priced lol
You'll sell them then!
Doing research on alexandrite and twilite/twilight glass immediately! Possible new collection? Yikes!
Yes, it's cool stuff! You can show it off using a florescent tube in a case for blue and a natural light source for lavendar
The Antique Nomad thanks for that tip.
Hi George,
I am watching one of your older videos right now. You are filming in your booth at St. Pete’s Modern Vintage getting ready for a show. You have an amazing wall clock that came out of a bank. I’m in love! Do you still have it? If yes, I have some questions about it. Could I email you? I don’t see your email anywhere. Thanks so much! Julie
I think you have it now, I'll try to get more info on possible shipping for you
George, Don't be in a rush to get back to Seattle... It's ugly up here with CHAZ and nothing is open yet in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. I am so antsy to get out. but there isn't much to go to right now.
I understand Star Center Mall in Snohomish is open again, and Epic in Seattle is open Wed.-Sun. afternoons now. It's slow going and I'm sure that CHAZ has some time to go before it settles.
I used to look at Chein tin so just wondering if you recall the price of the top?
I think it was $25-30
If ur ever up in Webster Co way we have a bunch of antique crocks for sale an old whisky jugs an some other things,if interested
That's not far! Please e-mail me your contact info at TheAntiqueNomad@gmail.com, I'd be glad to see what you have. If you can send pictures that'd be great too
I have a question and if you are to busy to respond I'll understand. I purchased an item with a small bronze plaque attached with a mans head with beard and mustache, his name is Lucy Sieminski. I have searched. If you could point me in any direction I'd appreciate it. Thank you George
Please email a pic to me at theantiquenomad@gmail
I'm a new viewer. The Crazy Lamp Lady's RUclips page suggested you. Do you come to Oklahoma at all?
Hello! I haven't been to OK in awhile but hope to get back there, I used to go to the Frankoma Pottery plant when they were still open in Sapulpa. Thanks for finding me, please like/subscribe and we'll see you again soon!
Spuds was actually female.😁
That's right! I'd forgotten that. They portrayed her as male in the ads because they wanted an excuse for cheesecake models to surround Spuds
Hi George I have one of those 1920s wood tables with the stretch bottom shelf how much was that worth?
I also have that adding machine what is it worth God Bless
I think about $135-200 depending on the market for the table, $45-65 for the adding machine
I spy a uranium mixing bowl..
Oh yes, it was a nice one!
At 26:36 I have that lamp. Can anyone identify it for me please?
They were made around 1970-1975. Not sure who the maker was, lamp firms tend to go in and out of business quickly
interesting content.... WAY to many ads....
Hi, Jon! I didn't choose the ads, RUclips auto inserted and I didn't realize. I'll see if I can adjust it.
