I've only recently found your channel and saw the question about if Australia has any rare orange kangaroos, well, no we don't have any orange ones, but some of our large red kangaroos are quite an orangey colour and when you see them at sunset/sunrise they actually are quite a bright orange colour.
Wow the first antique dealer left so many valuable treasures. I guess everyone look for treasures that appeal to them. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!
I've seen lots of old paper money sleeved this way. My bro in law was a numismatist. His mentor and next door neighbor on Little Lake Kerr in Ft McCoy was the colorful Grover Criswell!
I bought some wind chimes made from old forks as a Christmas present for a friend who’d had Covid and the maker on Etsy had inscribed them with ‘fork off Covid’ which my friend loved !
Thank you! I like to share info in all my videos so people can see what other people like about these collectibles and why they came to be in the first place
This video was great. Amazing what you gathered in such a short time frame. Appears the family led an interesting life. Your appreciation and respect for these wonderful things is refreshing.
Catching up on vids I've missed... The little Italian angel, 3/$1.00, sent me back to my young adult days when I'd say "if I can't find it at Murphy's I don't need it". It was the same Murphy's my g'mother took me to (the "five and dime") when i was little for a piece of candy or trinket. But not the lunch counter, that I did on that on my own well into my 30's. I loved their after Christmas sales and bought more than enough for the next year's gift giving.. While not as nice as the really old stuff I have boxed sets of vintage handblown ornaments, from the 1970's, I bought for $1.00. In my 20's, since I worked holidays, i'd decorate my apt starting the day after xmas and put most stuff away on groundhog day. My favorite decorations work for all seasons and stay up all year. ☮️
I'm so enjoying hearing this reminiscence! I'm just barely old enough to remember Woolworth's, it was built in 1917 and renovated never, Bremerton was so behind the times that it was still operating into the 1980s. I love the notion that you keep decorations up like that!
The Minton dish would make a wonderful planter. I save damaged antique porcelain and pottery for my plants, they are way less expensive than something from the garden center and they look wonderful.
Even though this was a year ago, I really enjoyed seeing everything. I have learned so much from you over the last couple years. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and being a man of great integrity!
You said you were not going to unwrap all the Goebell figures. I thought, “Oh, well, maybe I will learn something about the only one I possess.” It came from my mother. Imagine my surprise when you revealed that same one, called “Kiss me”. Small world. Thanks for the evaluation!
Oh George wonderful job. In my opinion you did very well. I believe that was a gravy boat or sauce dish of sorts with the peeling interior and it should make an adorable little planter in which case the interior will not matter. Thanks for being a saver.
My dad had a cigar box similar to the one you just showed. We lived in Brandon fla. And we loved going into ybor city. There was a cigar factory there at one time. Plus they had the best Cuban food there.
Thank you George, for this informative and pleasant tour through your latest finds. Always very enjoyable to see what you have found and learn from you. Happy New Year from Robyn in Minnesota! 🎉🥂
I wonder if the stuff peeling away in the one piece was milk that had dried there (I'm sure you have figured it out already but I'm curious. In the 70s - maybe early 80s , it was believed soaking a piece of China with a hairline Crack in it in milk would make the crack go away or at least become less noticeable. It could sometimes be a minor success. They may have dumped the milk but not washed it - and it would have formed a skin - milk paint uses the milk in the pigment to give it adherence. Well it's a thought should you run into that again😁. The red candle glasses in with the nativity set look like alter candles - the ones thats are lit for special prayers - they were usually in the back or to the sides inside the church. You would have made your monetary offering lit a candle and said a prayer. they were also sold in the church shop so you could have them at home - and you were expected to buy your candles for refill from the church as they wouldn't be holy otherwise. Sorry George. This was a long time ago that you made this one 🤣. Sometimes I just have to talk or write because I see so many things forgotten - or told wrong by someone who wasn't there. It's sad for me I love your show for all the research you do - and you do tell it well of course!
That may be the case! It makes sense. I had forgotten the votives were church related, my mom used to place them sometimes at one church we attended. I appreciate you checking out the old videos too, they still have a lot of fun info!
Had to pause halfway through to do something. Came back to finish. Great video! Fun fact:One of the most common state birds, the stunningly red cardinal is the official bird of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia
Thank you, I really enjoy seeing you in the chat and getting to converse too! It's that kind of collegial thing that makes social media feel like I feel in the real world of antiques
George, thank you so very much for taking time to make your videos. As an Antique fan I really enjoy all your knowledge. I’m learning about things I glide by in the shops, now I’ll examine things I never had much interest in! Keep up your great videos and please know they are great! Thanks!
So glad you were able to save some of those family’s treasures from ending up broken or trashed. Fun and interesting as always! Happy New Year to you and yours!
that pocket watch is a Vacheron Constantin Pocket Watch and they not play around in cheap watches trust me!! do you have a video that you come back on the watch!
Welcome!! I really enjoy New Mexico, I've seen a lot by Jeep and shopped in Albuquerque, Roswell and Carlsbad...also swam in the blue hole in Santa Rosa, that was an amazing find
Enjoyed your reboxing tonight. When did you pick up your craft that you knew it would be yours. You are very interesting and how in the world do do you know all you know. You are very explanatory?
I used to run antique malls and when we opened one in seaside, Oregon, I had to teach the staff about the major collecting categories our dealers have, which was really fun and inspired me to teach others about it
Oh I really like that blue/white ironstone/stoneware pitcher with the measurements inside! What is it going to sell for? With that gravy pitcher could someone be 'painting' the inside to cover ups crazing?
Hi, Evan! I didn't see this until now, I'm sorry it's been so long. The Ironstone piece went for $25. You were right about the gravy pitcher, it was a cover up! Not a good one.
George . I grew up in the NE of England near Durham Cathedral, the final resting place of St. Cuthbert. I now live in San Diego . I lived the Spode plate .. can we talk about me perhaps purchasing this from you ?
I wish it were so, but I recognized it as a thin ceramic paint used to hide cracks and flaws in porcelain when there's no way to repair them. It replaced the old Staple repairs of yore
I was in one episode of The Dead Files in 2013 and it reran recently! They edited me to say exactly the opposite of what I said so it worked with their conclusion, I was not happy about that but it was fun to do anyway
@@TheAntiqueNomad Well that is a bummer...now I can't remember the story I was watching, (due to short timers...) I was hooked on it tho, and I didn't know it has been on this long. Thank you for your time and all you do! :)
Louisville Cardinals are the college sports teams for that university as well. People outside Kentucky usually aren't familiar, I wasn't until I started spending time there
Hello! I was wondering if you are going to be putting those very pretty gold plated filigree ornaments on your eBay page or just where you will be selling them? I would be interested in purchasing a couple of those, they look very nice. Thank you!
I feel bad that there are no names on those photos. If there were they could be given to local historical societies to copy before they are sold. Ancestry organizations would then have pictures to go with names for family searches. Too bad that history is lost on that family. But this was a very interesting video
It's always nice to know the people of possible but not everyone annotated their family photos, and there wasn't other paperwork to give clues in this house.
We have a very bad time with buffering at my husband's house and I am trying like crazy not to watch this full episode by myself ,as we had planned on watching these for New Year's.
George, I hope you can help me by giving me the channel name of Amy, an Ohio reseller, who did a bunker presentation. Thank you. And I hope the new year is good for you and your family.
Hi hope, I'm sorry, I mentioned in the chat I have a show out of town this weekend but I'm putting aside all the items you mentioned and will email you early next week
That eagle ring is gorgeous...so handsome!
It was cool!

It's true, everyone sees different things and that's why we can all get along and hello each other in this vintage community!
It's fun looking through things with you!😊 Some neat finds. Thank-you. 😄
You are so welcome!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love that huge copper on that second shelf.
I used to give my mother a Hummel figurine every year for Christmas. She had a nice collection of original ones.
I've seen lots of old paper money sleeved this way. My bro in law was a numismatist. His mentor and next door neighbor on Little Lake Kerr in Ft McCoy was the colorful Grover Criswell!
Interesting! I wasn't in St Pete in his era, seems like a very interesting and somewhat controversial figure. Wish I had his book
Glad you were able to grab some interesting things
People make some great jewellery, particularly cuffs from cutlery
I do sell flatware to jewelry makers, wind chime makers, furniture and frame makers, etc. It's amazing how resourceful people are
The Antique Nomad wow that’s very interesting! Who would have thought 👍the Wind chime sounds like fun😀
I bought some wind chimes made from old forks as a Christmas present for a friend who’d had Covid and the maker on Etsy had inscribed them with ‘fork off Covid’ which my friend loved !
Lynne de Lacy I love it !!
Used to live in Grand Cayman,and taught school there for 5 years
I remember seeing this building when we went up to the Northside on the island
Yes, it's been restored but doesn't look the same now
B. Potter books multiplying 😆....(like the bunnies in her books).
Good one, George!
I learn so much from you!!! Thank you for making those educational comments!! I love the pewter nativity & the gold on brass ornaments!!
Thank you! I like to share info in all my videos so people can see what other people like about these collectibles and why they came to be in the first place
Another very enjoyable video, and I always learn from you! Happy New Year!
Thank you Mary, happy New year to you too!

Great video as usual George. Lots of nice things. Did not know the state bird of Kentucky was the Cardinal. Learned something new.
There's a Kentucky native strain. I also saw the red/tan colored ones that live in the Arizona desert, and St. Louis has some other strain I think.
Hey George. Your knowledge is invaluable and always enjoy your content.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and commenting
The little minton piece is still pretty in spite of the peeling. It could make a pretty candy dish.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on so many things. Great unboxing video. Lots of Love and Kindness.
Thank you so much 🤗
The Minton dish would make a wonderful planter. I save damaged antique porcelain and pottery for my plants, they are way less expensive than something from the garden center and they look wonderful.
Good thought. I'll make sure it doesn't go to the landfill
I do enjoy the videos you put out,and your knowledge on antiques is unbelievable thank you for sharing . 👍

I'll pass it along to someone who can use it. Thanks for the suggestion as well!
My dad had a cigar box similar to the one you just showed. We lived in Brandon fla. And we loved going into ybor city. There was a cigar factory there at one time. Plus they had the best Cuban food there.
Oh my stars love the Christmas ornaments they are beautiful
Love the way you love these items. You appriciate these old things
I do, and I'm glad to find you and others here who do too, it makes it very worthwhile
I absolutely love the Spode plates! Beautiful ❤️
They made such nice quality Ware
Thank you George, for this informative and pleasant tour through your latest finds. Always very enjoyable to see what you have found and learn from you. Happy New Year from Robyn in Minnesota! 🎉🥂
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy hunting (and stay warm) up there
That print with the ocean is beautiful
I have some of those filigree ornaments, my bank, back in the day, would sell them for not too much money, back in the 70's
Yes I was surprised they've gone up
Love the Gaelic plates💕
Love that Sterling frame picture frames are one of my favorite things have a whole wall of them in my house
I like Sterling ones a lot myself! A friend of mine bought that one yesterday
Always a pleasure to watch! TFS, George!
Thank you so much!!

I was wondering about all the copper ware behind you. Have you done an episode featuring copper ?? Thanks, Love your channel !!
Thank you! I haven't featured copper yet
Love you in red George, it’s your color!
Thank you, I like it too--at least that shade!
Had to pause halfway through to do something. Came back to finish. Great video! Fun fact:One of the most common state birds, the stunningly red cardinal is the official bird of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia
Interesting! And that cat thinks they all sound delicious :)
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes he does but only from inside the house lol.
Loved those spoons too.
Your finds are really exciting George, and I am so thrilled to be able to watch and chat along with you! Happy New Year!
Thank you, I really enjoy seeing you in the chat and getting to converse too! It's that kind of collegial thing that makes social media feel like I feel in the real world of antiques
Enjoyed the video! You explain things so well and it’s always interesting!
I thought that ring was Military. I bet it was and can't wait to hear where it's actually from :-)
George, thank you so very much for taking time to make your videos. As an Antique fan I really enjoy all your knowledge.
I’m learning about things I glide by in the shops, now I’ll examine things I never had much interest in! Keep up your great videos and please know they are great! Thanks!

that pocket watch is a Vacheron Constantin Pocket Watch and they not play around in cheap watches trust me!! do you have a video that you come back on the watch!
Love to watch your channel from New Mexico.
Welcome!! I really enjoy New Mexico, I've seen a lot by Jeep and shopped in Albuquerque, Roswell and Carlsbad...also swam in the blue hole in Santa Rosa, that was an amazing find
Ces@@TheAntiqueNomad It is a magical state to live in .... I have collected some wonderful pieces haunting the backroads over the years.
Enjoyed your reboxing tonight. When did you pick up your craft that you knew it would be yours. You are very interesting and how in the world do do you know all you know. You are very explanatory?
I used to run antique malls and when we opened one in seaside, Oregon, I had to teach the staff about the major collecting categories our dealers have, which was really fun and inspired me to teach others about it
I hope you are in the realm of the bargain barons.. they love this stuff
I wish I had been!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I love your videos!! Happy New Year!!
sweet haul george ! thank you !
Thanks it was fun to show you all!
Love unboxing day. Thank u
I'd like to do it each year if I was so fortunate!
Thanks for taking us on your journeys I love it!
Working at a hospital that has been without computers for almost 4 weeks now makes the value of knowing how to do things without a computer skyrocket.
Yes it does! I'm old enough to remember how to do a lot of things manually and it helps sometimes
Oh I really like that blue/white ironstone/stoneware pitcher with the measurements inside! What is it going to sell for? With that gravy pitcher could someone be 'painting' the inside to cover ups crazing?

Please send me an email at TheAntiqueNomad@gmal.com. I'd like for you to get it since you have a personal connection
Check the gold filigree ornaments, if they are marked Danbury Mint with the year. There is a definite collectors market and go for decent money
Thank you! The marks I've seen so far are Baldwin Brass, also pretty good
Thank you George! Amazing and educational.
I love watching and learning all kinds of things from you! May l ask if any of the copper pieces behind are going to be for sale? Copper is beautiful!
Great video George! I love everything you got 💯
I felt so fortunate and the timing was great! Glad you enjoyed it too
The Antique Nomad yeah I really did !!!
And I really appreciate you!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, blessings from California 🍃
Very informative, thanks!
About the Minton gravy boat...I'm thinking someone thought it was clean, so it went into the cupboard with gravy or sauce in it
I wish it were so, but I recognized it as a thin ceramic paint used to hide cracks and flaws in porcelain when there's no way to repair them. It replaced the old Staple repairs of yore
Love your video's ty😊😍
Love it love it Brenda from North Carolina
Hey George! I follow your station...I saw you the other night on a Paranormal episode! :) When did you do those?
I was in one episode of The Dead Files in 2013 and it reran recently! They edited me to say exactly the opposite of what I said so it worked with their conclusion, I was not happy about that but it was fun to do anyway
@@TheAntiqueNomad Well that is a bummer...now I can't remember the story I was watching, (due to short timers...) I was hooked on it tho, and I didn't know it has been on this long. Thank you for your time and all you do! :)
George, I’ve been ill and I’m having a difficult time catching up.
I hope you're getting better and will have a chance to see all later
The ring appears to be a United States Military Academy ring, possibly a class ring.
Thank you! I wondered which US attribution it was
Those 2 glass containers with hinged lids may be whiskey noggins.
That could be, that fluted shape and plain design would be consistent. The spout seemed shaped a little pointedly.
Yup. I'm pretty sure they are noggins. They still seem to sell very well.
Hummel figurines are beautiful ❤️
You're quite amazing! Do you have a photographic memory?
I don't! I'm just good at memorization.
Did you mean the St Louis Cardinals?
Louisville Cardinals are the college sports teams for that university as well. People outside Kentucky usually aren't familiar, I wasn't until I started spending time there
Hello! I was wondering if you are going to be putting those very pretty gold plated filigree ornaments on your eBay page or just where you will be selling them? I would be interested in purchasing a couple of those, they look very nice. Thank you!

It's always nice to know the people of possible but not everyone annotated their family photos, and there wasn't other paperwork to give clues in this house.
On the painting where do you fine the name of the artist signature?
Usually on the lower right corner
Some artsy people make jewelry out of silverware!
Yes I've seen fun pieces! Lots of ways to repurpose flatware
Do you ever turn photos over to see if there is any writing?
Oh yes! Sometimes the writing is the most interesting part
Do you look behind the frames for 'hidden' items?
I do sometimes! If I notice disturbance to the frame, as if it was not done by a store or sealed professionally, I will often open it up
We have a very bad time with buffering at my husband's house and I am trying like crazy not to watch this full episode by myself ,as we had planned on watching these for New Year's.
Lol I hope it worked out for you to see it!
George, I hope you can help me by giving me the channel name of Amy, an Ohio reseller, who did a bunker presentation. Thank you. And I hope the new year is good for you and your family.
I think it's YoBoHo on RUclips. Please check my Bunker Challenge playlist, it should still be in it
👍😎
Always glad to see you here!
The first lab in physics 101 at Ohio State was "how to use a slide rule". But that was in 1975.
I had one teacher spend a day on it in 1982, but then she said "your calculator will do this now" and we all promptly forgot it
😁
Emailed you about several items with no response 😔
Hi hope, I'm sorry, I mentioned in the chat I have a show out of town this weekend but I'm putting aside all the items you mentioned and will email you early next week
@@TheAntiqueNomad yay! Thank you! Have a good and safe show!
George, I love you but your intro needs to be updated please!
