So its friiday and i have no video so i put this together a hour before lunch. So Ive been on vacation and i had jury duty this week so ive been busy. enjoy
I enjoyed seeing the stock certificate history. From one hoarder to another: The real value of the building is the space. Give the stock certificates to a museum, frame a few for yourself if you really want to keep a few. Give the doors away to someone that will use them. Give most of that stuff away to someone that will use it, so it does not feel like you are throwing it away. Yes, it all has some value but not very much. Remember, the real value is the space you need for the future and that is most important. Stuff is a burden. Get it gone and it will relieve your mind.
I agree, yeah its old stuff and to most ppl its just junk. But it is fascinating looking through it and thinking what it was like back in the days when it was important to the owners. I think it would be cool to take some of the silver items and clean them up to see just how awesome they were in their prime. Its great that you want to preserve these bits of history and hopefully if you don't have a use for them. You can get them to people that will appreciate them. Very cool video... I'd be up to exploring other boxes as you make your way through the sea of stuff... ✌
Law of the land one man's trash is another man's treasure You need to get one of those Is portable. Pods for storage outside the door load everything that your friend left you into that pod container for a month while you organize and build more shelving inside your building. That's the way I did it. It worked out really good. Just an idea. Thanks for the video. Do not throw anything away. Keep up the great work.
Well you sure have enough stuff to keep side tracking you away from your projects. I could see losing hrs/ days on going through everything in that building. Thanks for letting us into your day and can't wait to see you guys run the salt flats.
A PT boat is a Patrol Torpedo boat. Others with a standing position might be a motor launch or even a landing craft. The silver, if it's got a hallmark it's best, 925 is Stirling and EPNS is electro plated nickel silver. If things have made in China they're priceless usually quite literally 😂 But as you say there's history there and there's people/collectors out there that would love to have it. Could you sell the doors to a reclamation yard?
You have no idea how excited I got when I saw the share certs and you said you'd open some of the boxes... right up my street! Looks like all the silver in the boxes was silver plate/EPNS but I loved the bowl in the second box all the same... but I wouldn't want to be polishing it all the time. Now I'm off to see if I can track down some history of those names on the Lumber share certs, that should keep me out of mischief this evening...
You need to make sure that the silver says sterling on it if it does not say sterling it’s just plated it’s only worth about pennies but nice for decorations if it is sterling you have a nice lot there
I really enjoyed this video it reminds me back in 1989 when I was 6 years old, back in North Carolina, going through my families sawmill / logging buildings.
Isaac great video I left a like as always...You should do a video on selling this stuff maybe a big sale...Go to the local pawn shop and sell all that silver they will give you the going price and weigh it.. again always like seeing your dad at the end I miss mine you and everyone be blessed...
Glad it that you're doing what you want it doesn't have to be mechanics if you're doing project like that it's fine because it does have to do with your mechanics and cars and camera. 👍👍👍
Love you and Cars and cameras content and this was a cool video to see all the projects in there. A lot do them need to come back for future videos. Heads up as well Ike there’s a chance of a storm coming up the storm within a week. Hope you see this incase it will affect your house by the water. Give you some time to prepare
With ADHD that would drive me nuts. Knowing you want to do what is right. But not knowing what that is. My first approach would be to photo and inventory, package up. Find storage. Even one box at a time. When someone passes away. There is a new life started. Someone may be very interested in some of these items. If it can make someone happy. Sell it to them. Good luck. Huge job.
There's A LOT of info online about this Roper fella. I guess he helped develop eastern North Carolina, nwascbif hauncho of the lumber industry and was involved with the Norfolk railroad as well. So that's why there's bonds for them
Take the best sail and you guys need to use one of your go cart frames and make a sail cart . Like those crazy ones that you see hauling butt on the beach. No motor rebuild required . I think they call them land or sand yachts . Can't do the lap time but would look cool flying along the beach .
The John L. Roper Lumber Company was only one of the many lumber mills that operated during that era but led the way in building railroads, organizing the lumberman from the three states into the North Carolina Pine Association, and rebranding what had been considered an inferior product into lumber that dominated the market as "North Carolina Pine."
😂🤣😂 As an Aussie Darrell Waltrip will always give me a giggle watching him doing a hot lap at Bathurst with Jason Bright. Still can’t believe the fella drove NASCAR.
Isaac, A "PT" Boat was a Navy acronym for a "Pursuit Torpedo" boat. These were wooden hulled boats with very large Packard engines built for high speed attacks on enemy ships and recon work. Small numbers of them would attack enemy ships at high speed and launch torpedoes from deck mounted launchers at enemy ships. They were too fast for a battle ship to catch and pretty effective. They also had machine guns for defense against air attacks and enemy small arms fire. The Germans and the Japanese had their own versions of these boats too but neither sides were nearly as fast as ours. Our PT's would run about 40 knots which for the day was quite impressive. John F. Kennedy served on one during WW2. The famous PT 109.
I love that old historic stuff too. I'm a sucker for it. Just holding somthing that's more than a hundred years old that someone wrote by hand is just crazy
I feel for you brother, I have so much stuff too. I have been trying to clean my shop and property for months. Way too many projects. I start and get distracted and then have to put it off again.
John L. Roper is a fairly famous post-Civil War lumber tycoon of NC. Canceled stock shares aren't typically worth very much (companies typically issued thousands of them), but they are still very cool. You might want to contact a gentleman named Bill Barber, who wrote a book on John L. Roper. He lives somewhere in NC.
Love the video! It’s amazing how some stuff makes it through time and pops up. I’m sure there’s a lot of us on here that could get lost in there for a long time enjoying old times.
So it wasn't wrenching, it was still awesome and interesting. Start taking pictures and posting them for sale. Start high and take the best offer. Never know how much you will get. Thanks for the video and see you later.
Isaac, no need to apologize for putting out a video. I enjoy all of your content. When you put out something that's not about turning wrenches, it just lets us get to know you better. The more I watch, the more I realize you're the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with. Keep up the good work!
Whosever stuff it was they had good taste looks like by all the silver and China ware they had, I’d just concentrate on getting everything in there organized not specifically the same stuff together but more store everything in the back corner an work your way towards the door then when you’ve got a little more room start trying to put stuff that goes together in the same spot like house hold stuff here, yard work tools here , automotive stuff here and so on, wish you weren’t so far away from Alabama I’d come give you a hand trying to straighten that stuff out, feel like me and you would be like 2 peas in a pod lol, good luck bud don’t let it stress you out trying to get it all done now, just do a little at a time , remember it all got stored in there in 3 lifetimes , stump was just the last 1 to acquire it before you now 👍🏼
Very interesting, adventurous scavenger hunt! Thanx ! Do some research, there's some real value there !! Take good pictures of each item, do some googling in your off time. OR, find some nice librarian, hire her to do your research? Or find a good assessor, but that will cost too. Those doors can have value too, if not for remodel, then for art, folks are turning them into wall picture frames, & decorations... Just takes time, but there IS VALUE ! You understand online auctions, just takes good pictures & a little research, you might be very surprised (& some of what you showed, someone has already done that!). Good luck !
I totally loved this episode of “Issac it’ll be found”. Love the treasure hunt. Sad in a way a person dies with no family, God bless your friends soul.
The silver plates with all the holes. Those are collection plates, and the really big one with the broken handle is more than likely a communion tray that they carried the bread or wine in.
Isaac, I once saw a program where a person found some old shares in a book. The company was no longer in business but was bought up by another company, and another. The shares were still good !! and because the shares had split (doubled) many times, they were worth MUCH more that stated. Maybe you should check into finding someone who could check and see if those are worth anything. You are the legal owner of those shares ! Maybe Isaac, maybe!
Give the stuff you don’t want to family services or a rescue mission,some place that has there boots on the ground. The tax write off is worth more than you can sell it for. Give it back to the world .🙃😎
I just looked up the John Roper lumber company. The New Bern historical society has a lot of info on the huge impact it had on North Carolina, Virginia and the east coast.
Sometimes you do have to just give stuff away to get rid of it. That mirror is a perfect example. It might be worth a little to somebody, but you'll keep it forever if you put a price on it. Just the way it goes.
I known its doest seem likely its but its pretty cool that you have, basically a time capsule. I known it's daunting but there's treasure in them there boxes and you may strike gold
Don't let that inherited stuff weigh you down either concentrate on selling it or have a trusted friend to advertise and sell it and split the profits so you'll make room for what you really want to do wish I could help .👍
You have been doing this cleanup for years. I know I made a comment a few years ago. Could you take some time to get the building cleaned out? Yes, it takes time. But it will take some time to get done. But it seems that it needs to be done. I would think you can donate the building stuff like the doors and stuff you can donate to the building store that resells stuff and you can write off stuff like that on your taxes. Get the team down to help out since John is tossing stuff at you and take a couple of weeks and get this place cleaned out and it will help in the long run for working on projects. Maybe an idea of selling off some of the older project carts and bikes to fans to recoup cost and clean space for new projects also might help your mind and the room also.
Just for fun I did some googling about the John L. Roper Lumber company. That man was responsible for a ton of eastern NC history after the civil war. He was a business tycoon from Virginia that made a fortune in lumber and railroads. Very cool history. I bet a museum would love to have those old stock certificates for documenting part of NC's history.
I really like history too. I've done a lot of studying about the history of the stuff that's in the Bible and where it's at and The Times it really happened?That is history. 😮
A lot of the antique stuff you have there that you say you don't need, I'd say take it to some antiques auctions, people always wanting to buy silverware, china and even stuff like those shares, turn it into cash that you can use to fix up the building(s) and buy other projects... :)
Issac this Old Man from Washington NC always enjoying your videos 👍. Amazing how you can keep up with everything. Be careful in the heat we're having 🙏. 🛵🧔💝
Isaac, just because the company is still not in business does not mean it was not sold or merged with another company. Many old stock certificates may surprise you and have significant value. You need to take them to an expert. There are also collectors of these old certificates. Please take them somewhere and get them analyzed... Joe
If that’s sterling you’ve got a massive amount of $$$ there. Need to find a buyer for that asap. I’ve see sterling sets at auction go for thousands just for the purpose of melting down.
My 2 cents: take the stock certificates to a local investment firm and see if there's any value. The Norfolk-Southern is currently at nearly $250 a share by itself.

The stock is still worth something, cash them in.
Bulk of the stock has already been cashed out it's literally just the paper trail showing that it was cashed out @@Wooley689
@Wooley689 I was going to say this also.
@@Wooley689
They've already been cashed in. That's what the blue circle stamp is about.
@@brianellison3525 Did not know that. These days such as our bank, keeps them.
No wrenches but an interesting project! It looks like a big job, Ike, I hope you find all kinds of fun treasure.
Looking at that building full of "stuff" is overwhelming.
Thanks for the history lesson. Them old stock certificates are really cool.

Issac is a true King he inherited real treasures and lands! o7 to you Sir Issac haha!
Do you have a local museum or historic association? Those shares and certificates should be shown in a didplay case. Great history there.😊😊😊😊

Do a big garage sale, or flea market in the park.
I love the show and tell just your passion inspired probably 100s of ppl to look into that company
Glad it that you're doing what you want it doesn't have to be mechanics if you're doing project like that it's fine because it does have to do with your mechanics and cars and camera. 👍👍👍

I feel for you brother, I have so much stuff too. I have been trying to clean my shop and property for months. Way too many projects. I start and get distracted and then have to put it off again.
Consider seeing if local museums would be interested in the stock certificates. Good local history.

I think it's cool thanks for sharing .they are a part of history's treasure"s just think if they could talk !! LOL !!
What could really be a great way to concentrate space ; is create a backroom area and start stripping down the vehicles to engine and frame builds .
So it wasn't wrenching, it was still awesome and interesting. Start taking pictures and posting them for sale. Start high and take the best offer. Never know how much you will get. Thanks for the video and see you later.
wow.... THE John Stewart.... that's incredible.
That is absolutely amazing to have all your toys in one place ie scooter's, go-karts and minibikes.
Now what to do with all the vehicles.
Omg Isaac you have got some very interesting items in that building. Boxes and boxes of valuable items.
You and John should start a raffle and use ur merch as tickets. I know a few of us out there that would give these projects a good home.
I love this type of stuff man , would
Love to check out all the goods

Cool video I like all the old stuff. Looks like he was driving a landing craft. Yes

Great stuff Ike!! be safe and drive careless! ✌️❤🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🫡
You are a blessed man. Keep up the great work and great video
What a cool stash ,would like to see more.
Give the stuff you don’t want to family services or a rescue mission,some place that has there boots on the ground. The tax write off is worth more than you can sell it for. Give it back to the world .🙃😎
I always enjoy your videos. I admire you bro❤
Damn dude, you make me feel so much better about my hoard. 😂
I retired from Norfolk Southern Railway. I would love to see those stock certificates!
that pitster pro rolling frame looks promising! 👀would be cool with a 190 or 212cc
Keep it up I love old stuff it hell of alot better than the junk you get today.

Take the silver platters and serving trays and those shares to an Antiques Road Show
If you don’t need the money keep the silver, it will hold it’s value and increase as long as we have an inept crooked government.
Excellent video Issac :) also got lots goodies and so cool everything got there too !
MORE STUFF!! O YEAH!!!
its your show so do what you want - id like to see the '57 get built....
Missing parts for the 57 from the theft
@@isaacitllbefine7231 dam thieves.
The one Priceless thing in there Didn't get bitten by a Brown Recluse hiding among the parts !
Your sitting on gold brotha! Congratulations!

I known its doest seem likely its but its pretty cool that you have, basically a time capsule. I known it's daunting but there's treasure in them there boxes and you may strike gold
Hoarders dream of an inheritance like that lol Anytime I see urbex videos I'm like OOOH all that STUFF hahaha
Don't let that inherited stuff weigh you down either concentrate on selling it or have a trusted friend to advertise and sell it and split the profits so you'll make room for what you really want to do wish I could help .👍
You should look into the history centers for some of these things especially the bonds!!

cool stuff
Good luck with dat Hord phew 😅
Dint be sorry about not wrenching on stuff all the video's you make are awesome and interesting
Good luck man,its hard to do what your doing,i know I've been there!
Isaac, just because the company is still not in business does not mean it was not sold or merged with another company. Many old stock certificates may surprise you and have significant value. You need to take them to an expert. There are also collectors of these old certificates. Please take them somewhere and get them analyzed... Joe
You need to find an honest Antique Dealer to help you liquidate some of that stuff. I imagine there is some value to some, especially the china.
Historical stuff is interesting....
john should get a couple of containers to stack carts/bikes in...
organization is the key too keep everything
Ike you should have a huge garage sale and sell what you can.
Ever think about selling/auctioning some of the historic projects? Make money and create som space?
If that’s sterling you’ve got a massive amount of $$$ there. Need to find a buyer for that asap. I’ve see sterling sets at auction go for thousands just for the purpose of melting down.
My 2 cents: take the stock certificates to a local investment firm and see if there's any value. The Norfolk-Southern is currently at nearly $250 a share by itself.
