I just love you. You have so much knowledge about so many things and it's fascinating. Everything you know should be put in some kind of book form. I have been watching you for the last two years and luckily today you are in the state I live which is South Carolina. Thank you for stopping at the park and sharing info about the swamp. Keep up the great work!
It just amazes me what a wealth of knowledge you have in your head. Good for us out here. Always makes me feel smarter when I’m at the thrift store or antique booth. Thanks for all you do! Me and a friend decided we should start an estate sale company. Your lucky I don’t have your phone number or I’d be asking you way to many questions. Hee hee!! You also have my fave laugh. 😂
Thanks Yvon! That's so sweet of you. I am terrible about remembering them, I actually didn't really think about my own or make any plans until viewers started wishing me so lol
We played whose got the button for hours in the street. We’d find a shiny one, and throw it…then look for it in the light of the street lamp. It seems simplistic, but it was fun, and kept us playing for long periods of time…just not in the day, the street lamp and dusk was essential to the game.🖤🇨🇦
I’d have said the horse brasses are from the 1800s as they were used to ‘decorate’ shire horses bridles when the horse was king for so many companies and of course used on farms
Correct you are about their origins, in fact I think they date back centuries. However, the castings on those were not good in the same way I would have expected of a truly antique issue, lots of flashing and not crisp
Love going to the Congaree National Park!! You are literally a walking encyclopedia!! What a life you’ve created for yourself!! So happy you take us along!! PS… my granddaughter lives in that area…
George you are always traveling everywhere and I enjoy seeing different places and different things. I know you should know that Elvis was born in Mississippi. I know it was a slip of the tongue to say he was born in another state but it was in the town of Tupelo. Just happened to catch this because my mother-n-law was born there too. 😁👍
I remember the Cypress trees from FLA all the brackish water and the gators too. We used to go fishing near alligator alley but the gators would try to take our fish before we could get it up. lol Great trip and thanks for sharing and letting me tag along. You have a great day and safe travels.
Good evening, George! That Kaiser vase was really nice! I really liked that. Those jars of buttons were interesting. I couldn't see if they were old ones or not, though. I like old buttons. I really liked that plantation storage box. That ornate corner shelf was fantastic! Too bad it had that damage. I could actually use that 1890s lap desk. I liked that oil lamp base, with the black base, that was above the purple ball vase. Loved the ball and claw lamp table. I loved that swamp! I'd like to have photos from the swamp to do watercolour paintings. Fun premier! Thanks for taking us along! Happy Birthday, George!!!
Thank you, Mark! I did like the Kaiser piece a lot, and the plantation box seemed like a steal to me. I need a lap desk myself, hadn't thought about getting an older one to fit my laptop but that's a great idea. The ball and claw lamp table is what I imagine collecting if I did Victorian. If you want to take stills from the video to use as painting inspiration, be my guest!
I noticed from other comments that it’s your birthday sometime in the last day or two! I wonder what is your age unless it’s too “nosy” for your tender ears! Hahaha! I’m asking only because I have a son who was born in 1964 on the 25th of July. I’m the viewer/subscriber that owned up to being 80 in an above comment. Here’s a HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREETING! 🍾🎂🥂🎂🍾
I worked for a company named after its location which was fine until we needed a bigger space and had to move - when the company’s name then made no sense !
That can be a real problem! We just had that happen in one of our antique towns, Centralia Square Antique Mall is now 5 blocks from its namesake building. I'm sure people are confused!
Having recently discovered you, I must say that my appreciation of you goes far beyond your videos. I've learned so much about new categories (outside my interests) but more importantly, the heart and integrity you bring to your industry. I just watched the piece you did about your mentor's collections, and I can only guess that it was a bittersweet experience for you. I'm sorry that you have lost your mother, but you left her a beautiful tribute. Dave
Honestly, how the dickens do you know so much right off the top of your head? It’s just a constant flow of makers, years, artists, regions, and miscellaneous facts about almost every single thing! It’s awesome and very impressive
I've learned more than a bit of what I know about American pottery from this channel. That said...wonk alert: 19:58 The clock was OK, but what about the vases next to it? Arts and Crafts /art nouveau trumpets. Probably chrome, but whatever. 30:30 My late dad's collection of those Barclay and Manoil soldiers were one of the first things I sold on eBay, back when you could still take checks and money orders. They sold for a LOT more than you can get now. 31:50 IIRC Royal Adderly made a ton of the porcelain flower jewelry, none of which sells now for any money. If you can sell it at all.
Nice swamp walk, we have a few bog walks in my area. And of course Acadia National Park. This was a very interesting video. The antique shop seemed more like the farm fresh style i remember Mom going to when i was a kid. Not all window dressed. The prices seemed really hopeful in some booths 😮
Acadia is one of the few places I've not been in this country, it's high on the list! I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. Definitely "farm fresh" and some spaces better tended than others...
My parents had that wagon wheel chandelier in the dining room. God I hated that thing. It may still be in the garage. I will know as soon as it cools down a bit.
You are so funny George, and a walking encyclopedia. I really like the Cameo ware. You showed us a piece of that recently, I believe. Also liked the colorful bowl and piggy, but not the bottled shark so much. Do understand why you purchased, though. Great to have you here in my residing state of SC. The prices seem so reasonable in this particular shop for collectors. Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo. Hope yours was as great as mine! Cat

Happy Birthday George!
Happy belated birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday George!!!!! 🎉
Thank you!
Hello everyone 🖐🏾
Happy Birthday tomorrow, George!
Thank you! Cheers!
Watched this to the end as always! Intriguing and educational! When one is 80, it’s amazing that there’s anything left to be educated by. 😂🤣😂
I'm so happy for that! I want people of all ages to realize how many great areas there still are for collecting exploration
There is always something to be learned no matter our age.I will never know everything and that is the wonderful thing about life!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE 🦩🌴🌞❤️🌻😘
My local antique malls are having "Christmas in July" sales.
The Christmas sale could be for "Christmas in July"
Love when you show where you are.
🎂🎁🎈Happy Birthday @George The Antique Nomad 🎂🎁🎈
37:31 That turn signal is going much too fast! There must be a bulb burned out somewhere to make it tick so fast ...
Hi George, i have never stopped in South Carolina. North Carolina is beautiful with such varied terrain and Georgia too.
I just love you. You have so much knowledge about so many things and it's fascinating. Everything you know should be put in some kind of book form. I have been watching you for the last two years and luckily today you are in the state I live which is South Carolina. Thank you for stopping at the park and sharing info about the swamp. Keep up the great work!
I like the nomadic tours. Thanks, George.
Thumbs up folks 👍👍👍👍
I loved the hike at the end! Thanks George!
Happy birthday George
Aww thanks! You're the first to mention it!
🥂🥳Happy🎂 Birthday to u George!🥳Enjoy your special day!🎈🎉🎈🎂
Per Xeno, Happy birthday tomorrow George! You can have my piece of cake.
“Disarming” 🤣🤣🤣
My stupid humor huh huh
JP Morgan on the gong show. Ya gotta be of a certain age to get that. And I am. 🤣
Lol yes that's right! I just saw her in a rerun recently so she was in my head
I enjoy learning about good items to flip from your videos. The walk on the swamp trail was a fun bonus.
Christmas in July is a popular thing. I love Christmas no matter what time of year! I really like Russell Wright Melamine.
Hey Xeno & George!👋🏻😁
Sliding in late Good evening everyone 🦩🌴🌞
It just amazes me what a wealth of knowledge you have in your head. Good for us out here. Always makes me feel smarter when I’m at the thrift store or antique booth. Thanks for all you do! Me and a friend decided we should start an estate sale company. Your lucky I don’t have your phone number or I’d be asking you way to many questions. Hee hee!! You also have my fave laugh. 😂
Tupelo, Mississippi
Your brain and vast knowledge is intriguing! I love learning from you!
Happy Birthday George May you be blessed with many many more 🎂🎉
Happy Birthday! Hope it's a fun filled one!
I hope so too!
I really like your shopping excursions and I love the travel logs, too. I’ll probably never see a swamp like this. Thank you for sharing with us. 💚💚💚
Happy. Birthday.. another great show..thanks
Thank you too!
Not picking on you. Love all your work!!
Ahhh! The purse from Lansing !!! That is where I’m from!
Oh cool!
❤❤ Happiest Birthday Wishes George 🥰🥰

Happy Birthday George! You're my age now.
A great age to be!
I loved the walk through the swamp! Thanks!!
Very nice idea.
Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!
Happy birthday. I enjoyed the swamp walk. Sure wish there was some green Wedgewood at those inexpensive prices.
Love going to the Congaree National Park!! You are literally a walking encyclopedia!! What a life you’ve created for yourself!! So happy you take us along!! PS… my granddaughter lives in that area…
The LEAF dishes!!!
yes!
Enjoyed your hike ❤
I loved the hike! Very intetesting
Nice items to look through ! !
Venus didn’t think your dad joke was very hilarious,
It was bad, she had the right expression
Thanks for the very interesting trip to the swamp , you make an amazing guide. ❤
Pleasant video, George. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks George, enjoyed the tour and found the information interesting.
Thanks for showing us the park!
As always the tourist tour appreciated
Very interesting about the Australian copyright angle
Great prices on the Wedgwood
I thought the Australian story was of interest! I bought the Wedgwood ornament, the prices were just too low to resist
George you are always traveling everywhere and I enjoy seeing different places and different things. I know you should know that Elvis was born in Mississippi. I know it was a slip of the tongue to say he was born in another state but it was in the town of Tupelo. Just happened to catch this because my mother-n-law was born there too.
😁👍
Yep, I caught that also. He said Missouri. 😅
Nice trip. thanks!
Happy Birthday 🎉Hope you have a super fantastic day 🎉
Happy birthday!
This will be fun
I enjoy your videos
🎉 Happy Birthday George! I hope you had a fantastic day! ❤️☺️

A fun video as always, George. Thanks for the national park tour during your hike, really enjoyed that too! 😊
Thanks for nature HIKE ... I HV never bn in swamp land ... Neato jet👌
LOVED the sunflower pitcher by Portmeirion and the walk over the swamp! THANK YOU, GEORGE!

I'm 58 now! He's a year ahead of me. Thank you so much!
Still waiting on the "George the Antique Nomad" hat calendar. Maybe 2024? 😊
Great idea! I would buy a few !
This was really informative. Thanks.
great to get to see these different places and take these little side trips. thank you for sharing.

That is just wonderful and such a thoughtful comment! I think she would be pleased that people are appreciating her collecting ethos
Happy birthday, George! Thank you for brightening my day and illuminating the corners of my mind with fresh knowledge. You are aces.
Happy belated birthday!

Always love your videos! Thanks for sharing this!
Love your channel and your extensive knowledge!
That tour at the end was amazing. Thank you so much. Very interesting
This SC Tier 2 subscriber thanks you for coming to my beautiful state!
I was so glad to finally get there, if only briefly! Really enjoyed the park too
Enjoyed seeing the unique swamp and other items you highlighted!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Have heard about you from Laura, watched and learned a lot. Thanks for the tips!
Oh it’s still nice to see you in my state !! So excited to see the places in Columbia I haven’t been there
Love learning from you! Oh, my Dad was stationed in Antarctica as well and ended up collecting penguins!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BROTHER!!!!🎁🎁🎁
Aww thank you!
My favorite item was the Mrs Humpty Dumpty head vase. Thanks for a very informative video.
That was fun.
I’m not usually drawn to Fenton but that butterscotch piece is terrific! Thanks George.

Thank you George. I always learn so much. I would bet the vendors sift through that thrift store pretty carefully. Buy junk and sell antiques. 😂
Happy Birthday George! Love your videos. Very Informative and fun!
Nice swamp walk, we have a few bog walks in my area. And of course Acadia National Park. This was a very interesting video. The antique shop seemed more like the farm fresh style i remember Mom going to when i was a kid. Not all window dressed. The prices seemed really hopeful in some booths 😮
Acadia is one of the few places I've not been in this country, it's high on the list! I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. Definitely "farm fresh" and some spaces better tended than others...
Thanks for sharing the swamp. Very different from the swamps in the Northeast! I love your videos, so informative!
My parents had that wagon wheel chandelier in the dining room. God I hated that thing. It may still be in the garage. I will know as soon as it cools down a bit.
Lol they were everywhere at one time, even when not appropriate
Looking pretty spiffy in that hat George! Are you going to do a 2024 hat calendar? You should.
I think that might have to be a thing!
You are so funny George, and a walking encyclopedia. I really like the Cameo ware. You showed us a piece of that recently, I believe. Also liked the colorful bowl and piggy, but not the bottled shark so much. Do understand why you purchased, though. Great to have you here in my residing state of SC. The prices seem so reasonable in this particular shop for collectors. Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo. Hope yours was as great as mine! Cat
Loved the tid bits at the se I always learn something new when watching you!😊🩷
Thank you! I like to share
I just bought those RCA dog salt and pepper shakers in front of the corn - about an hour ago! And I would so wear that brown hat
I so enjoy when you show the sites as much as your antiquing! Each one are treasures! Ty for sharing!!
Love your videos, George!❤❤❤
