A Surprising Find at the Antique Vintage Flea Market! | Shop with Me
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2023
- We're hauling down to the flea market, and hauling back a great bunch of bargains on cool antique and vintage treasures! Our favorite dealers are back after a two-year hiatus, and it's our chance to find great deals on all the cool stuff they've been picking to flip to us resellers.
Sunday is the day the vintage dealers cluster on one end of the swap meet, so we're headed there first! Some out-of-town dealers mistake it for a high-end antique show, but our local dealers and some others just passing through do not disappoint, and we act fast to get a great B&O train step just ahead of another buyer. We find mini bottles and soda glasses for just a dollar each (with an offer to fill), score a great 1930s clock for $15, and a VIking bird for $5 that we flip right away for $45!
A fascinating Florida creature from the Paleozoic Era gives us its home to take to ours, where we unpack the haul and talk about what we bought, what we paid and what we hope our collector customers will buy! Flea markets and swap meets are great places to get a lot of good stuff all at once, and we are pleased to have these fun things to present in our mall spaces and upcoming shows in person and online.

Okay so I know this is random but when you picked up the plate with the Swagman it led me to Google it and much to my surprise I learned the history of the song "Waltzing Matilda", which I used to sing as a kid in school! Its about a Swagman (transient laborer) who steals a sheep! It's based on a true story and it's just this whole crazy thing! I love this channel!!
That swagman plate is the story in the song “Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree ….”
Yes - Waltzing Matilda! ❤️
And yes he is indeed stealing the sheep, or jumbuck, as the song calls him
George, I always learn something watching your channel. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!
Hi George, thank you for taking us with you ! Always a good time to be had!
Yes here in Michigan we love our Vernon’s. There is nothing like a Boston Cooler! All the best George, 9a
Good video, George! Your commentary is what makes it.
Wow....my favorite was the Viking glass bird for $5...that was an AWESOME deal!😄
Great haul! I do love to watch you thrift
Laughed out loud at the "they offered me a shot- it was 10 in the morning" 😂❤ Thanks for taking us along
Love the Fredrick Remington print.
Hello everyone !
Hello from California!❤❤❤
What part?
Even though it was cold you seemed to enjoy your day! Great finds! So many unique things. Thx for sharing!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
The B&O piece was my favorite since my grandfather worked there!! You should look at some pictures of the Delaware beaches covered in horseshoe crabs every spring. Being from Maryland & always going “down the ocean, hon!” in the summer, we always spot them on the beach. Tell your subscribers to never pick them up by the spine! You can turn them over to investigate by the sides of their shells. Their legs don’t pinch. Their blood have properties that are very interesting to scientists. Great haul! Thanks for taking us along!❤️
Their blood is very valuable apparently!
I need to get back to Delaware and see that
Swagman plate tells the story of the song Waltzing Matilda. The song is quoted in Tom Waits' Tom Traubert's Blues, and the devastating anti war song And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda by Eric Bogle.
Wow George. You did well today!
I didn't know about horseshoe crabs till I visited Cape May, NJ
I just found the same Murano bowl at Goodwill today for $3. Mine is amberina. Excited!!!
My first car (53 Chevy) had one of those knobs on the steering wheel. I learned they were referred to as “suicide knobs”. I really liked it, but they’re not legal here any more.
LBJ and Hubert Humphrey on one pin. I would like that, depending on price. The Butterfly vase is lovely. Bar novelties are always crude.The horseshoe crab is a very important animal, an very old creature. Thanks for taking us along.❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for highlighting my comment. The horsecrab has a chemical in it that curses cancer or something, so they are trying to reproduce them faster. They also look like a Klingon face 😳 💀.
Did you hear George? He said a four letter word. Rare!! Lol❤️
Oh, not good! I'm sorry
This looks like it was posted today but it hit 90 degrees in South Florida so this must have taken place a couple months ago. I love those black bakalite pins but they were a bit pricy for a flea market. Great video, I always learn so much from you.
😂 stoop - labor, great description
Hi George & Carl! Nice haul, George, sure wished Carl would have shared his, too. That pink Bristol vase was to die for!!! I really liked your red fused glass plate. My hubs is a trucker & alot of them have that steering knob on their steering wheels.
Horseshoe Crabs also frequent Cape Cod for mating!
I didn't know they had them there!
I would've loved wheeling around there looking at all the cool stuff. I saw at least 2 or 3 treasures I would want too.
The cuff bracelet is lovely 😍
100%
Thanks so much
Hi George! Great video as always! The ‘telephone call timer’ brought back my telephone operator days for BC Tel in British Columbia in the late ‘70’s!
Such a fun job during the summers going to university!📞
Watching from Vegas. I always learn so much!
Darn I had to miss the Live😢 I really enjoyed the replay!❤ Great haul!👍
Fun video to Share with a friend ! ❤
The Australian plate is a Jolly Swagman plate from the song 'Waltzing Matilda' by Banjo Paterson
Nice finds! The stool was my favorite ❤️
Me too!
Thanks for sharing!! ✌
Great score! Thanks
16:05 The Soupy Sales button is a HUGE warehouse find. Somebody found BOXES and boxes and boxes . He also has VERY limited appeal . If you were not a kid in 1965-1969 you'd have NO IDEA who he was. I wish it were a Diver Dan button !
We used to have a couple real good flea markets here but now all we have is one and there are quite a few people that sell new stuff as vintage/antique and expect you to believe them. lol I have stayed away from them. Thanks for letting me come along with you. Have a great day
I, too, have found very lovely treasures at flea markets. Great picks George.
Love the Murano yellow bowl.
I collect Royal Bayreuth and rarely see it when I am out and about. The shot would warm you up>
50 degrees!? That's Spring, here in Indiana.
Nice buys.
We have Dad's old camera s. They are nice to hold and remember when he held them.
The bracelet was 50s copper. Glass foiled opals. I'd have nabbed that railroad step too, I was raised by a rail nut who loved live steam. The bracelet the George found at about 07:00 is Italian. I wouldn't have paid up, but I'm a cheapskate. 12:00 Sure looks like Dansk to me too. 12:55 Waltzing Mathilda on a plate! It started playing in my head as soon as I heard "sheep stealing". Surprised bells didn't go off. That said, community yard sales are a great hunting ground, especially if you find a few sellers who just want whatever GONE, and who know what they have and don't care.
Lucy from Louisiana. Love your knowledge.
Enjoyed the video love your finds
i like the australia plate that is called a jumbuck sheep ,and the man was stealing it
Great treasures ❤❤❤
Amazing haul George, my favorite was the tiny beer bottles and yellow murano bowl.
Hello everyone 🙂👋
🤓
Thank you for sharing your day, and sharing the haul at the end; nice to have the review of the finds
Good evening, George! Oh, I liked those coral pieces right off the start. I'd use the B & O step as a footstool. That was cool. Those mini bottles would make a nice collection to put in a printer's drawer and hang on the wall. Horseshoe crabs have always fascinated me, too. I used to have a baby one, but I have no idea what happened to it. Loved the metal-cased New Haven alarm clock. Old New Haven clocks are one of my favourite clocks. The pink Bristol vase was really pretty. I really like Bristol. I've not figured out why it isn't more appreciated, especially to be as old as it is. There was "something" in the box just above the cast iron skillets that caught my eye. I couldn't tell what it was, but it looked interesting. The clothesline reel is super-neat! I'd like one of those just as a novelty item. That looked to be a fun market to shop and lots of really interesting items. You made some fantastic purchases, too. Thanks for the take-along!!!
The printer's drawer idea is such a good one, the mini bottles would be just right sized and an interesting collection all together! I do favor New Haven in the early clocks (though some of the others had style too). I really felt fortunate to get to shop this group of sales, we only have a few of those kind of events where I am in Kentucky!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I have a printer's drawer hanging now, with old wood spools, with the thread still on, and intermixed is a complete set of the Wade nursery rhyme whimseys. The different colour threads make a nice display, and the Wade whimseys give the eye a detour. I have a double-striker New Haven clock. It is a simple, dome-topped mantle clock, but it's my favourite of all the old clocks here.
There is a horseshoe crab breeding beach in Delaware that is rather spectacular
I have that Depression Glass set I want to sell. I'm going to see what price you put on it. Just got a booth a couple of months ago, so I'm a babe in the woods. Thank you for all your videos.
That is, if it's listed on E Bay.
George I'm headed to pinellas county tonight from Chicago need a break from taking care of Billy the last 2yrs😂😂
Sorry but I am cracking up over that 54☃️🥶 degree.January weather in mid May 🤦 . I think it's reaching mid east coast tonight. Feels like I'm gonna be plugging in the electric heater tonight .
Thank you, again, George, I'm always learning from you. Great find on the B & O step!
Hate hearing the jewelry dealer give misinformation about those painted clay beads. It's obvious she is dishonest
Great finds.
Does your cousin have a channel?
I'd like to see his finds too.
He teases us with a peek here and there then disappears. 😅
Yes, and he's fun! He doesn't have a channel, but he does design and sell t-shirts under Curbdigger Carl on Redbubble.com
@@TheAntiqueNomad
OK, great, I'll check it out.
Thanks George.
Lol,or a window to throw it out of
Well, let me tell you. The other day, Loretta came in wearing her clear plastic high heels and Buster said that it looked like she had jars of pickled pig's feel attached to her legs.
Truth be known, Loretta has been seeing both brothers, Long and Harry Wang, owners of the Chinese restaurant, House of Eight Earthly Delights, Sushi Bar and Bait and Tackle Shop. Seems that she has been gorging herself on the Wang's spring rolls with their special sauce they whip up just for her. She just loves that tangy, salty, creamy sauce but it's beginning to show on her ankles.
Miss Ima Mann wants to know if you can get her Carl's phone number? She said that her basement floods just looking at him. I didn't know that mobile homes even had basements.
Carl is single, I'll ask but I think Loretta might be more his style lol
😊😊
😎👍
54 degrees? thats warm
When was this? It hasn't been 54 here in a while.
filmed about 2-3 weeks prior
What would you sell the little china dog for, I'm very interested in it. Could you get back to ,me please?
I'm sorry, I just saw this! It's at Vintage Modern St. Pete in Space #144, their # is (727) 823-5700
Is the Wagon Wheel still around???
No, they closed last year.
@@shartheheretic oh wow!! I lived in Pinellas for about 35 years… my ex MIL had a booth there for years selling vitamins on the first row nearest Park Blvd… spent many a weekend there… sad to know it’s gone… 🙁
It was a huge loss, the family wanted to retire, thought they had the whole thing sold, then were told it can't be redeveloped because it's on an old landfill so now it just sits there empty
@@TheAntiqueNomad it's really sad. I wish they could find some way to re-open it with new owners or something.
@@TheAntiqueNomad oh no that is so sad!! My ex MIL began her vitamin business there in the early 80’s… she had two booths on the first row corner right off park blvd by the entrance… I used to work the booth from time to time but spent many a weekend at the Wagon Wheel… if recall there was a new one that started in the 90’s in Oldsmar… it grew pretty quickly and wonder if it’s still going?
My gosh I have a carved Bakelite bracelet, is it worth 60$?
Oh wow 😮
Probably so!
How do I contact you about doing a pre estate sale
Send email to theantiquenomad@gmail.com
When was this filmed ?
this spring
Please run ur comments a tiny bit slower. Lol
Who beyond collectors buys this stuff?
Decorators, people who are looking for vintage items for decor - lots of people.
@@shartheheretic wall owners.
Stuff is always needed for films, or stage. Some of them like to be super detailed on their sets.
@@angelad.8944 Prop. Dept. has walls
Those are all good answers, I would add that gift buyers and history buffs are people beyond collectors who buy. Also, some people pick up a specific item for nostalgia's sake, but not intending to collect more of same
Kissing knob. Lol
Now physically challenged persons can and do use the steering knob.
great not to see Devo… had the brain of a cat.
Yeah cold, probably plus 25 Celsius
Your videos are always so much fun to watch. I looooove horseshoe crabs - they look so different and sure have proven to be real survivors. But here my inner smarta** 🤓makes me share this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_crab (spoiler alarm: It`s not a mollusk 🐌🐚🐙)
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
