My childhood cat ate the old-time lead tinsel off our tree. Because it broke apart so easily it didn't bind up her intestines. But I wonder if the lead content is why she was so ditzy.
I really admire you Alex I worked in retail for 30 years and it amazed me how some people I worked with knew nothing about what they were selling and didn't care .you are so knowledgeable and don't mind sharing.
@@balanchuk Hi Paul, I am Julie from the UK great to see you on Alex's vid again. Now we all know your surname, mind you mine is also in the public domain.🙂🎸😊
You should have a house warming party and invite EVERYONE we have "met" via your channel. Your circle of friends is truly blessed! As for Paul,cats, and Christmas trees he will have stories to tell. Decorate with unbreakable items. I would always tie my tree top to a hook in the ceiling after finding my tree down 3 x in one afternoon. At night it was a free for all and became Six Flags Amusement Park.
My daughter came home for Christmas one year and brought her cat with her. Number one - I do not like cats👿 and Number Two - he was constantly climbing into and up our Christmas tree. 🙁
Back in the caveman days when I was a child, we always had the silver tree with the rotating color light shining on it. It was my job to put it together before Christmas and to take it down after Christmas .
Have watched your journey throughout 2 winters now. Thank you for all you do. With your guidance and direction I have figured out a way to have my Veterans make spending cash by selling their stuff on their channels and shipping from home.. They enjoy sharing each artifacts story and conversation (chat) along the way.. what I didn't realize is,, youtube is documenting all of their knowledge and stories along the way. We lost a beautiful warrior last week and the family is thankful for the videos. They got to know a very different man than father,, brother,, uncle they thought they knew. They made friends and created family.. Your influence has rippled across my circle. Thank you for all you do! Happy Holidays! Squeeze the family and the team!🎁🎄💌
Radio Shack had the best toys back in the day. They sure dont make toys like they used to. My bro still has his Lionel train set like that, the engine is heavy. It does still work, he has kept it in great condition. He puts it out for his grand kids at xmas. Great finds today.l
Omg high voltage was the best! My aunt had that album on eight track and I loved it!!! I thought she was so cool being 11 years older than me, she is more like a big sister to me. Our kids are all closer in age. What a great memory!! I have a lot of those songs on my Spotify playlist today!
You sure do get some neat things! I seem to have a weakness for Lionel trains, thought I don't know anything about trains! I recently got a set from an elderly man that had it for Christmas and then was forgotten about. Well the train worked like new and was from 1951!
I have carried a small Swiss army knife for years...it has bailed me out quite a few times ( so girls, get it for and keep it in your handbad. ) I love your unboxings...so thanks for showing us such cool things...I can see those tripods as home decor for that odd space that needs something unique.
I know you 100% know what you're doing in cleaning antiques, but I just like including what I do in some situations 😂 I love using vinegar water to clean up older things, and it'll remove oils and dust and dirt just as well as lots of other chemicals. Again, I know you already take every single thing into consideration before you even touch an antique with any kind of cleaner of any degree. But, if you ever just need a cleaner that is super gentle but super effective, that's the way I go!
Hiya Alex! Greqt finds here! I sure wish I had known about the, " Fat Boy Razors " a year ago as I had two of them (unboxed) that I'd found in a box of ?random items l purchased at a garage sale. Sadly, I threw them both away, never knowing their value until today. Thanks for bringing these interesting and informative videos to us Alex! Peace to all.. .💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
I’m surprised he wasn’t using a microfiber cloth or regular paper towels instead of those hard finished ones. 🤷🏼♀️ The sound didn’t bother me, just the inefficiency! 😂
Paul! We missed you. Nice haircut. Alex I'm always amazed at your knowledge as to what is sellable. I would have thrown that old dirty typewriter away. Which is why I would never make it in the antiques business. I never knew that there was a market for those. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Dumpy Level is the right name, it's called that because it has a feature whereby, once the line is established you can tilt the level down to mark spots along the line. Typically used by masons for foundation layout.
With regard to the Underwood typewriter: Sometimes non electric is good. I wanted to save money when I bought my hurricane shades. I bought non electric. Then we lost electricity during Hurricane Ida. If I had electric shades, I would not have been able to get my shades up. BUT. . . I hand rolled them up.
Do you know why they call a Pen KNife a Pen Knife? In the days before manufactured Ink Pens people used a bird feather called a Quill to write with. You used a small knife to cut the tip to write with. Quills from the right side of a bird cost you more than those from the left side because most people were right handed. If a right handed person tries to write with a Quill from the left side of a bird they will be getting poked in the eye while they write.
My 59 year old little brother has our father's Tonka road grader, dump truck and Lionel electric train. All still work and are still in great condition, paint decals and all!
Great finds! Seeing that surveyors equipment just reminded me of the cartoon drawings I have from the 40's and 50's! Construction crews didnt have phones in thier hands back then, but plenty of pencils and paper 😆
@@nancymontgomery8897 I got to see them at Sunderland Poly Wearmouth Hall in 1981 Nancy ,were have the years gone ;)There were one of the best bands i ever seen play live.Still like to listen to them on u-tube.Take Care
Saw them here in Edmonton... stadium show , but it was not asked out show thats for sure... canada was a little bit slow to support a lot of the new music of the 80s ( even those inspired by vintage rock and roll ) It was a great show !
I remember being impressed with your rather humble description of your childhood in which you commented on the fact that you lived near a large 'Toy Store'...and how your mom made such an earnest attempt to purchase a few small toys for you. Perhaps the fact that you have become such a knowledgeable collector and identification specialist of these play items speings...in part ..to not having owned an enormous amount (as kids today do ) of these items.
Alex, you should head to Dollarama for some cheap microfiber rags, I think you can get $5 for $3, they dry quickly and they would be better than paper towel for a quick clean. They work great wet or dry. That survey equipment is gorgeous
So happy for you, and the Dentside, that the catastrophic fire was avoided. The 1978 or '79 cargo light switch in my '77 F150 has the print all worn off of the letters. If you ever want to make it so that you can turn on the cargo light without the interior dome light coming on, simply unscrew the switch, pull it out, and unplug it. On the wiring connector from the truck, there will be a pair of black with blue stripe wires both crimped into a single terminal. Use a pick type implement, and remove that terminal from the connector, leaving the other two as is. Put some heat-shrink or tape over the disembodied terminal so that it can never short out, and plug in the switch and screw it back to your B pillar. One other bit of advice: I noticed you sniffling. I used to drink Mountain Dew all the time, but figured out that it was bad for me, so I switched to 100% fruit juice, alternating between several of my favorite flavors. I was just looking for something sweet to drink, but I discovered an added benefit: I used to catch a ten-day to two-week long cold once a year, every year, until I switched to the juice. Now I never catch them, or if I do, they don't get intense or last long. If I get sick now, I'll eat orange juice concentrate like ice cream - it's quite good, too...
my neighbor worked in road construction. He was working on his yard and had a pile of dirt. His children had tonka equipment and they left them on the pile. I loved looking at those boys being like Daddy.
When I was about ten (1976) I was desperate for one of those kids typewriters in the case so asked for one for xmas. My parents didn’t have much money and instead got me a big heavy Underwood typewriter at an auction. I loved it with its lovely raised keyboard and bell on the roller. I loved the noise the keys made when pressed p. It was really heavy tho and I couldn’t lift it lol Sadly after a few years I couldn’t get the ink tape on the roll for it (except for red) so reluctantly gave it away. They don’t make sturdy things like that anymore 🤗🤗
Don’t bother testing the 8 track. Sell it as is. The rubber capstans shrink/ harden over time and have to be replaced. Same thing can happen inside the tape cartridge as well, old foam turns to dust, and the tape will tear if you try to play it.
Hi Alex. That was a cool find with the razor case. It was really too bad about the straight razor, looks like one of the kids tried to carve with it. Ouch 😣 Also, all the other items were sellable, so you definitely going to make a buck or two for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎅🏼🧑🏻🎄🎄 PS It was great to see Rock ‘n Roll Paul ! Looks like life is treating him well 🎸
Paul's kitty will 💩tinsel for months. 😂The tip another commenter left about tying the tree to a hook in the ceiling is good. There were a lot of fantastic design finds in this lot. E.g. I think the Zippo carton is much more attractive than the lighter itself. The Mechano box would also look awesome in a shadow box frame.
My kitty never ate the tinsel but he loved sitting under the tree, staring at me, and pulling out the branches. Good thing that the cat was cute 'cause one of them had to go :-)
Me being a versatile person, I enjoy watching channels like this to peak my curiosity and gain more knowledge of things of this nature. I kinda chuckled at the non working Times- wasn’t the old ear worm “ Takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’?”
I always think it would be interesting to be able to track one collectible through all it's years to see how many times it got bought for how much. Over it's lifetime.
Might be fun and educational for the family to go out and play around with the survey stuff on your land... who knows maybe one of the kids will be inspired to be a surveyor..
Love the toys. My sons had the Tonka collection and I wished I would not have left them in the sandbox at my home...in 1972-74. My brother had the train....oh the memories!
I took my dad’s mid 50s Lionel train set to a model train shop to tell me what kind of shape it was in and what it would take to get it working. They said the same thing about the tracks: replace with new. That’s what everyone does, it’s safer and more reliable and no one restores and uses the old track, even for restored old trains. My dad’s set was good quality and very common/popular at the time. It could be restore but the time and expense would not be worth the high price one would pay for that. I am hoping to one day do it myself instead.
My mom had that typewriter. I used to clean it by taking it apart and washing/drying the parts. The only problem with using them now is finding the spool ribbons.
I learned how to type on that same typewriter!! this was in the 70s, and my dad finally bought a newer one that was electric, in the early 80s... lol...
Thank you for sharing! Im constantly amazed at the volume of knowledge about "collectables" that is rolling around in your brain! I do get a kick out of your vids!
Lol well ...I usually put up the tinsel tree I inherited from my parents but that's almost the extent of my festive decorating , sadly I don't often entertain a lot of guests so it seems pointless lol Thanks for the thoughts ... maybe someday I'll have Alex over to shoot an episode
My friend bought an old typewriter at a yard sale for 50 bucks. She just sold it for 120, the couple she sold it to, buys, fixes and re-sells typewriters, they are in big demand right now.
Hhheeeeyyy it’s rock and roll Paul, I’ve missed seeing some of the people we have got used to seeing from time to time.
Cats + Tinsel = Eventual emergency visit to the vet.
My childhood cat ate the old-time lead tinsel off our tree. Because it broke apart so easily it didn't bind up her intestines. But I wonder if the lead content is why she was so ditzy.
Paul's looking sharp with that haircut.
I was watching and my 3 year old grandson was loving the Tonka items ! He was yelling look grandma look ! :)

vinegar water is excellent for lifting the grime and wax accumulation of ages. Very gentle, as you say.
I infuse my vinegar with pine needles for a month or so ,then strain your vinegar and it is great.
I like using acid on my antiques, as it gives a nice weathered finish…lol …kidding.

So they were actually called that? Based on what Alex said, I thought maybe it was a mistranslation of "heavy duty."

You should consider on investing in a toppper for your truck to protect your stuff.
My mom had that typewriter. I used to clean it by taking it apart and washing/drying the parts. The only problem with using them now is finding the spool ribbons.
The sound of that semi-wet paper towel on the typewriter made me skin crawl!!!!
Alex, You need to get some micro fiber cloths you can use dry or wet to use at store, then bring home to wash. They worh really well!
Omg Big Loader was one of my absolute favourite play sets for a while as a kid 💜
I wanted one of those! I remember the commercials.

If they are made of metal we had the Tonka grader, crane, and dump truck in the mid '60's.

Meter is a VTVM, or vacuum tube volt meter. Widely used for working on vintage electronics. Your value is probably about right
There was a Triplett brand VOM that looked just like this. I used to have one but after Hurricane Michael destroyed my shop it was junk.
