Jeweler here! That ruby and diamond bracelet in white gold should fetch you a pretty penny. Those silver charm bracelets are super valuable, especially since they are as full as they are and with nice charms. Awesome haul!
Jello salads were so popular because in the past gelatin was very hard to make. Only the rich could afford to serve it. It was a very high status symbol to have on your table. Then a man named Knox started making dry gelatin from cow hooves, a by-product of the tanning industry in Gloversville NY. So now anybody could have gelatin. Mr. Knox became very wealthy and endowed his home city of Johnstown, NY with many donations and buildings. Gloversville was known as the Glove manufacturer to the world in it's day. My Mother worked in a Glove factory there that made the gloves for Queen Elizabeth on her Coronation.
This lady would have been my friend...I collect old cookbooks, costume jewelry pins (like grannies wear to church), and children's books. Sending a kind thought for her memory and I hope her collection is cherished by your fans at auction!
I'm a charm bracelet fan. Ended up combining charm bracelets into a necklace because I'd collected so many! Wish I could hear a story for each charm, looks like the owner had amazing vacations all over the world!
Oh my 😍 my idea of heaven! Love sorting jewellery and money. Got my cup of tea and sitting comfortably so let the adventure begin. Wow just loved the books, wonder if they could be restored. Thank you for cheering up a grey rainy day in the uk x
The "cameo" looks like a pretty rare vintage WEDGWOOD blue Jasperware angel brooch in sterling! I would say that if you put $175 on it you would sell it fast ❤️
This was your best unboxing yet! Loved, loved, loved this. As a collector of costume jewelry you've got some treasures for sure. And I am very impressed with your knowledge. Is there anything you don't know? Those cookbooks would be so interesting to read. I look forward to seeing ALL of the jewelry. Thank you for showing us your treasures today. You definitely got a deal!
I'm 67yrs old and I am starting to give my precious, to me, things to the people that I want to have them. I want to see them being enjoyed. I NEVER want someone going over my things after I'm gone.
I collect and sell jewelry Esp rings. I am saving my favorite for my daughter, grand daughter and nieces to go through when I pass. They know I'm collecting and saving some and I want them to be surprised like it's Christmas.
I though how someone made the charm bracelets of their travels, and now they're just in a pile. Who was that? What were they like? Did they go those places before plane travel was common? Breaks my heart. And the engagement ring and wedding band - how could that be lost to the family. My grandmother's is lost due to some blended families and poorly written wills and it kills me.
Liked n subscribed ... it was the "it's a tie fighter,its a tie fighter in a box...... hooked thereon in...Nice family with impeccably behaved children..well done everyone..
Yes, yes, Alex, please do another video of your jewelry haul. I saw some items you didn’t talk about and I (we) would love to see it in more detail. Thank you for all the hours of work you put in to do rhese
Love the Turtle necklace ad turtles bracelet. I collect anything with turtles. I have a silver turtle spoon from Boston that is over a hundred years old now.
My daughter worked in a Pharmacy and introduced me to little sealable bags. I use them to keep my jewelry in - to keep the pieces separated so they don't damage each other. Plus to keep sets together. They come in a wide assortment of sizes and I love the organization it gives me. Just an idea for you. Keep the videos coming, love your channel.
What a nice collection lots of beautiful treasures. I love old jewelry I think it was made so much stronger then the jewelry today and some pieces are so much more intricate. 🙂❤️
It's so nice you could remember your dad, through the radio you bought! I remember my dad through certain foods he loved! He passed away just 3 months before his 60th birthday, from complications from y'all bladder surgery. I happened to turn 60 on July 18, so I thought about him a lot!
That was fun, Alex! Thanks! I love looking at jewelry and all the trinkets. You got a great haul there. Looks like it will be worth the investment! Congratulations!
I really appreciate you embracing this new type of content, especially as you'd probably rather be elbows deep in an oily engine or digging through an old barn. 😏
Girl here, and I personally love all the boy stuff you purchase. With that being said I also love all the jewelry boxes you've scored as of late! Alex you've got an incredible sense of quality and style so it's all good with me!
As a lover of stones, the insect, fish and other stone pieces in the collection, were quite exciting. My favorite pieces were the amathist jem piece, topped by the silver figurine and The blue cameo piece was very nice as well. Enjoy your videos and finds.
These videos are so fun. Makes me feel like I'm rummaging through my grandma's jewelry box again. And I hear ya on the veggies in jello rant. The two should NOT meet.
OMG!! Such fun "sorting" with you~ and I collected old cook books myself and know the pleasure of reading how things in the kitchen were done a long time ago~
The contents are more a timeline of someones life, adventures, travels and experiences. About as close to a time machine as we can get. I often think what a treat it would have been to talk to the owner. Fires the imagination Alexander. Cheers|!
I agree, Gary Roberton. The collector had them carefully separated into different categories from what I could tell, Canadian travel, International travel and the third looked like unique ones, perhaps events? It is very nice that she kept to the sterling silver standard. :)
You have some very interesting pieces of jewelry there. I think you got a good deal. I love old cook books some are so interesting in the difference of how food was prepared and what was eaten back when. But what really caught me eye was the childrens books. Wish I could afford them would have snapped those up in a jiffy. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Thanks for a video filled with the magic of the past, many wonderful pieces you have there, and hard to make up my mind which item I found most interesting. That being said, the collection of children’s books and old cookbooks would probably be at the top, although there were many nice and interesting jewelry pieces there too. Congrats on a good haul and thanks for an interesting vlog.
Omg..Alex,there were some really beautiful things in there!I saw a lot of fun earrings and the bracelet with the garnets(?)was stunning❣️😍 The cameo was so different and amazing❣️😍And I saw a bracelet with 3 different colored silver/gold hearts. The cookbooks blew me away! Who doesn’t want a cookbook from 1828?!? I do❣️🥰😍📚 And also the small children books from 1895,I would LOVE them all❣️🥰😍
I am a jewelry consultant pricer and this is just eye candy for me. Love the brooches just everything. Your family is growing up for sure. Canada is my country and so proud you and your family and show are part of it. Woohoo 👍❤️🇨🇦
My wedding and engagement set used to rub against each other. I lost a small diamond because of it. I had the stone replaced, and I had the ring set soldered together, about 30 years ago. I’m glad I did! No more rubbing. No more fussing to keep them together.
Those charm bracelets should go for around $300. each on Ebay! What an excellent score! As for the old gold wedding bands check what they are going for on Etsy!! Pretty high!
Please show us the jewellery all laid out. Love seeing jewellery, it shows so much about the people who owned them. The books are such a great find. You will do well with this purchase xxx Please also tell us how you make out and if any one item was super special x
Those 3 charm bracelets might make a huge profit for you! I collect them I’ve never found one with that mean charms in the wild. Just checked Etsy 2 different bracelet with over 20 charms were US dollars $356 each. Good luck!!
I have a BIRKS silver charm bracelet exactly like the first one show, I’ll have to count the charms, it is so loaded, I can’t even wear it. It’s 59 years old. I remember pretty much all the charms and when my parents bought them and where they travelled. I have some pretty unique charms. One is a pineapple from Hawaii. The body of the fruit is almost like a basket weave, so you can see through it. Inside are green fossilized lava pieces. That one was from 1972 or so. Charms back then were so detailed and well made.
@@traceye.6428 Wow Tracey that’s a sounds great ! Pineapple sounds super neat! I’ve not worn mine for years decided recently to start wearing it, it’s from high school. Wear the collected ones often! Im starting a new one now for this period of life!
What a great collection to go thru. I hope you have a diamond tester because you have some diamonds in all that. And yes, that is garnet in that bracelet. I just went thru a huge collection and found 14kt gold charm bracelets! 2 of them full! You never know what's in those collections but they are worth the time and work...have fun!
WOW! What a lot! Charm bracelets - $$150.00- to $200.00 on EBay. Also look for maker marks by: Miriam Haskel (costume worth tons), Florenza, Bogoff, Alice Caviness, Boucher, Eisenberg, and Eisenberg Ice, Coro, Judy Lee, Austria, Pell, and tons more! That Black stone pin you showed at the beginning could be made from “JET” stones, very collectible too. A great lot of items probably to resell for 3 times what you paid! 😁😁😁
What a fun trip down memory lane! I’ve owned similar jewelry to the pins. Old cookbooks are such fun to read. They give a view of life in the 1800s. My favorite are the charm bracelets. I’d love to look at each charm and guess where they’re from. Thanks Alexander.
I get to sort through the jewelry hoards we get donated at the Thrift Shop where I volunteer 💖 It’s so much fun! Even if it’s just junk from the 80s :) We research the brands we don’t know and I’m surprised by How much I have learned. We will repair the broken stuff and create some new “pieces” from the pieces… if all else fails we make junk bags for crafters.
That's why I don't go to thrift stores. Most of the good stuff goes to people like you. Not sure people who donate realize they are just giving to volunteers.
It's true though. I used to buy and sell collectibles. I had a couple of friends in the business who volunteered at the thrift stores just so they could get the best stuff first! I always thought it was so unfair 😕
I've hit up thrift stores quite a bit for those junk bags of jewelry. I use them to make fancy canes and walking sticks. I've sold some for a couple hundred but often I give them away to elderly people who look like they could use a cane. I just enjoy making them and going through the junk bags at the thrift store always gives me inspiration.
The charm bracelets are awesome! The first bracelet had a few of the charms I have on my bracelet. Plus, I love the old cookbooks! They give one a peek into life in whatever era they are from. The cooking directions are pretty interesting as well! Thanks for sharing your new collections.
Most of that jewelry is worth a pretty penny especially with the stones. I love that chunk of amethyst with the pewter figurine on it. You will get your funds back and more. Good luck and have fun.
Jeweler here! That ruby and diamond bracelet in white gold should fetch you a pretty penny. Those silver charm bracelets are super valuable, especially since they are as full as they are and with nice charms. Awesome haul!
Me too.That bracelet looked like white gold.This a haul!
I didn't notice the ruby and diamond tennis bracelet in the small gold box until I watched a second time.Can't wait to see the rest!
Jeweler too...you had me look back too 😅 you are right

Thank you for that history!
Everything in aspic! 😁
The cameo looks like a Wedgewood Jasperware. Definitely collectible.
Looks like costume 1970's by the metal. Not really high end collectable. jmho. Needs more researching
It does appear to say something like Wedgewood ENGLAND a on the rear
This lady would have been my friend...I collect old cookbooks, costume jewelry pins (like grannies wear to church), and children's books. Sending a kind thought for her memory and I hope her collection is cherished by your fans at auction!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Love jewelry and this unboxing was so enjoyable. Would love to see again once organized. Thanks for sharing!
Me too!
I would love to see it piece by piece. Spent way to much time on the cook book 🙄. Jewelry and s much more interesting.
I'm a charm bracelet fan. Ended up combining charm bracelets into a necklace because I'd collected so many! Wish I could hear a story for each charm, looks like the owner had amazing vacations all over the world!
Oh my 😍 my idea of heaven! Love sorting jewellery and money. Got my cup of tea and sitting comfortably so let the adventure begin. Wow just loved the books, wonder if they could be restored. Thank you for cheering up a grey rainy day in the uk x
The Mexican silver bracelets appear to have white or rainbow opal stones. Very beautiful!
My absolute favorite thing to go through is old jewelry boxes. I need episode 2 please!
Yes, I would love to see each piece; and spread out, untangled.
You definately how a very nice return coming your way... just by seeing the first glimpse of your jewerly. Absolutely. Nice buy.
The "cameo" looks like a pretty rare vintage WEDGWOOD blue Jasperware angel brooch in sterling! I would say that if you put $175 on it you would sell it fast ❤️
Yes I thought Wedgwood soon as I saw it, it’s a beautiful piece!!
yep, it reminds me of Jasper ware. It looks expensive.
I saw it and went like "Oh, this is a blue Jasperware. I want it."
Vintage Wedgwood Jasperware brooches are usually set in Silver and sell for between £30-40 Sterling so $175 is excessive.
@Stella Marie Poetry and Green Arts It's marked Wedgwood England. You can get them right now on ebay for $US 40-70.
Love all the little treasures you find to be kept and saved for posterity...
The keeping of history is the true treasure...
A GREAT stash! I love treasure boxes .....
I absolutely LOVE vintage jewelry !!!!! It would be heaven on earth for me if I ever had the pleasure of sorting through something like this 👍👍💕💕
Me too, me too!
Lots of really nice pieces!! Loved the little books 📕!! Thanks for sharing!! 💖💖💖💖
I adore big bags of jewelry!! Love it all!
It makes me wonder what stories this jewelry could tell of the owners adventures. I love finding treasure. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

It's awesome stuff! I've been collecting for 25 plus years!
This was a super pick! So much fun for us to see the treasures that you find. Please hunt for more of these types of unboxings as they are great fun!

A really nice collection of jewelry. Love those books!❤️❤️
I freaking love the transistor radio! I remember having one as a child, listening to CKLW.
cant describe how much i want those bracelets

You should get in touch with your countryman Glen of the channel Glen and Friends Cooking. He collects and cooks recipes from old cookbooks.
I watch Glen and Friends, too. I had the same thought. I think I’ll suggest to Glen that he leave a wish list of cookbooks he needs with Alex.
Love the jewelry! Would love to see it again once it was organized!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
And cleaned!
Beautiful collection.
Those 3 charm bracelets might make a huge profit for you! I collect them I’ve never found one with that mean charms in the wild. Just checked Etsy 2 different bracelet with over 20 charms were US dollars $356 each. Good luck!!
Yes, I said the same thing..... 350 on Etsy, I'm an Etsy seller myself.
I have a BIRKS silver charm bracelet exactly like the first one show, I’ll have to count the charms, it is so loaded, I can’t even wear it. It’s 59 years old.

The body of the fruit is almost like a basket weave, so you can see through it. Inside are green fossilized lava pieces. That one was from 1972 or so. Charms back then were so detailed and well made.
I just counted. There are 34 charms on the bracelet and a few in the box. I still have the velvet jewellery box it came in too.
@@traceye.6428 Wow Tracey that’s a sounds great ! Pineapple sounds super neat! I’ve not worn mine for years decided recently to start wearing it, it’s from high school. Wear the collected ones often! Im starting a new one now for this period of life!
Love jewelry!! I buy costume jewlery and broken jewlery. Repair the broken into something useful!! Wish I was there to help sort!!! ❤❤❤🇨🇦🇺🇸🙏
I would buy that pumpkin pin in a heartbeat.
What a great collection to go thru. I hope you have a diamond tester because you have some diamonds in all that. And yes, that is garnet in that bracelet. I just went thru a huge collection and found 14kt gold charm bracelets! 2 of them full! You never know what's in those collections but they are worth the time and work...have fun!
Your definitely going to make a profit. That's alot of silver and gold jewelry. Beautiful pieces Alex
This is SUCH fun to see, and I will never ever get enough of looking through interesting things. That fish was awesome! I hope to see it again.
Alex you make every little item, look like a wonder. I thank you for your time. 🇨🇦
WOW! What a lot!
Charm bracelets - $$150.00- to $200.00 on EBay. Also look for maker marks by: Miriam Haskel (costume worth tons), Florenza, Bogoff, Alice Caviness, Boucher, Eisenberg, and Eisenberg Ice, Coro, Judy Lee, Austria, Pell, and tons more!

Lots of lovely pieces!
As a jewelry lover…. So many tempting beautiful pieces❤️❤️❤️love the spider set and the turtle necklace
I loved the jewelry. My favorite is rings. You should have melissa and Abigail do a video on the jewelry too!
Yes please
14:40 that claps bracelet with the turtle like things. I had one from my grandma but I broke it. So cool to see it again.
Red garnet bracelet is lovely
OMG! SOOOO jealous! Getting to go through any kind of bulk treasure is my dream! I cant believe how big this one is! Love it!!!!
I always love watching your videos Alex.
Aw, you bought that just for us. Love the unboxing of bulk jewelry, coins, & books.
