    At 5:35 the stool cabinet with holes in it was similar to one my Granther used for milking in the Winter, it had an iron grate and catch tray inside. He would scoop coals into if from the kitchen stove. It warmed his bum on the cold days, and he could warm his hands before touching the cows udders..🖤🇨🇦

      @@TheAntiqueNomad my pleasure. It was also used as a foot stool on cold nights, as all the heat came from the kitchen stove, one of those huge iron wood burners, and the living room fireplace I could walk into when it wasn’t in use. Both were banked before bed. It was cool to see one again, and the tray and grate wouldn’t be hard to find, you could even use a cast iron Dutch Oven as a substitute.🖤🇨🇦

    12:17 George, You have Your hand on a pitcher exactly like my Mom had and it always sat in the kitchen!!! How old do You think that one was, I think Mom's was late 60's early 70's!!!? 17:43 is our old phone (wish I could read the number off of it, I still remember our phone number!!)
    Prettiest: Typewriter & Stand (I wish I could make a find like that!!)
    Ugliest: 14:42 That pitiful, delapidated, green & yellow (plastic?) Palm Tree - What a very sad ending!! (Are the green palms inflatable?)
    Strangest: but Coolest, the Lizard Bracelet-It's so Cleopatra-ish
    Something George should have bought, but didn't: The Waterford letter opener (I need a new one anyway!!) This was more than Fun, It was Great!!! Thank You, George!!👋🙂

    I’ve started following you courtesy of Tiffany of Thrifting Vegas and Danni The Niche Lady. I sold at curated Antiques Shoes in Dallas, Fort Worth and at Austin’s Citywide Garage Sale, now Citywide Vintage Sale after 40 years, and a 10 year stint with a permanent double booth on the grounds at First Monday in Canton, Texas. I’m now retired from my professional career as a attorney for the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Region VI, Regional Office in Fort Worth. I have a fortune in inventory accumulated that I am looking to sell on eBay starting this coming fall. I couldn’t stop buying while having no place to sell after retirement. The shows, Austin and Canton became too physically taxing after my retirement.
    You are easy to listen to, articulate and interesting. I have traveled many places that you take us on your Vlogs. Good luck and keep on traveling! 🤗

    I thought that was fun & wonderful. A 400 mile Yardsale would be quite something! Probably require camping along the way. It's fun to dig through old stuff to find the treasures! Even yard sales are getting savvy with their pricing! I too would have purchased the hand forged tongs for $2.00.

    Hmmmm ... I didn't really see anything I loved. Ugliest? I hate milk cans. Reminds me of my mother's colonial decor. What should have bought? Well - I was kind of partial to the water fountain. My brother in Cape Cod calls it a "bubblah" - there is a wall mounted one I have been watching on Marketplace - thinking I could put a pump in it and make a cool dog fountain out of it. Well - if Hemingway could make his cats a fountain out of a urinal from his favorite Key West watering hole - why not? Can't wait to see the rest of the trip. I sure would love a 400 mile sale. Unfortunately Long Island isn't 400 miles long. Not even close.

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  2 года назад +3

      Hi there! I must say that while I was pleased with the buys I made, there were less interesting smalls than last year. I was also partial to the water fountain but afraid to get something big so early (I had a second highway sale to cover the next day!). Hemingway's cats were my favorite thing about his Key West house, I promptly got a six-toed cat! I'd go on any Long Island sale, that seems like a place that would have a lot of really wonderful things potentially at yard sales.

  • @nemophilistnay
    @nemophilistnay Год назад +2

    Well George, you asked. Prettiest: blue Camaro or pyrography art nouveau headboard or the green/gold table. Ugliest: well, unfortunately the turquoise jewelry you got looked like dyed howlite. 😔Weirdest: that the black metal table would be so much at retail; it’s so basic. 😃 Should have gotten: tile painted black box at second spot, if it was original. Might have been repro though…
    Pool table repurpose: take the top off one and use as sides/legs as mantle (indeed)/fireplace surround.
    I think it’s fascinating that there’s a commemorative to feminist/POC history in the south. 🥹

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  Год назад +1

      I think the pyrography headboard sounds like my choice! I agree the black table is simple, but that was the genius in its design, I suppose...and that's a thing about MCM designer originals. I think the black box was indeed a reproduction.
      The south is surprising to a lot of people, the prevailing sentiments have always drawn opposition and there are a lot of people from the south that became critics of the social order there

    Good evening, George! Flea markets/yard sales like that are always fun to browse through. You never know when Aladdin's lamp might just show up in "the cave" 😉 I used to use one of those old wall-mount post boxes as a washcloth and hand towel holder in a guest bathroom. It had a metal holder for a newspaper under it, so it held a hand towel really well. They work really good for that. I liked the large pickle jars with the metal bails and wood grips on them. I have my grandparents old metal porch furniture like that glider bench on our front porch. I had one of those chemistry lab kits when I was young. It's actually nice to see the 1930's beds that someone hasn't gaudily/chalk painted and/or turned into some sort of bench. It would be fun to browse all those areas...if this heat would go away. It's sweltering here. Thanks for the take-along!!!!!

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  2 года назад +3

      I like those as guest towel holders too, I saw that in a b&b once and never herad of it again until now! A little secret-I get to check the box on the porch glider soon! My grandpa had a porch swing and I've recently gotten one in his honor, it's so neat that you have your grandparents' set. I also had a chemistry set but it was a leftover from an older kid so the fun chemicals were gone! I agree that the 1930s furniture is best left be, in particular I hate seeing veneer painted because it's so hard to undo! I hope you beat the heat

      I thought that made sense but another commenter said her grandfather used his in the barn during milking - He would put (I think she was saying) hot coals in the bottom and would sit on the stool part and keep his "bum" warm. He'd also warm his hands each time he was going to milk the next cow!! 👋🙂
