    Enoyed this video so much. I am going to watch it a second time.. The strength and accuracy those men had slinging those bags. Can't wait to see the finished oil lamp. Great glass finds..

    Yes, that looked like Jay Rockefeller. When I was in elementary school in the late 1960s he ran for the West Virginia House and came to my elementary school and we all felt like big shots getting his stickers and other merch. Wow, hadn't thought about that in many decades! Thanks as always for the memories! Kat D :)

    Those drive along segments are such historic eye candy. The sidewalk vendors and markets are amazing snapshots frozen in time. I salivate profusely when you pass the Philly Cheesesteaks establishments. The oil lamp reminds me of my grandparents. You know? The ones whose back breaking labor, convictions, character, and determination built this country, so that everyone could eat at McDonald’s and have access to a cellphone. There wasn’t a single day that they didn’t stop and quietly give thanks. Peace.

    Love South Philly, worked as a housekeeper for the Italians for over 20yrs in the 80 s &90 s, and i used to thrift there, always been a thifter really enjoyed going down memory lane. One of my clients worked at the famous Palumbos which many famous people dined there and saw many pics of them including Frank Sinatra eating Spagetti with Mr. Palumbo, who was his best man when Frank married Ava Gardner. True 🦅💚🦅

    My grandfather traveled the world with Enrico Caruso in his orchestra and when he emigrated to America decided on Chicago but I wish he would have settled in Philly because it looks like so much more fun. Loved the street scene. Thank you

    I love your front seat reveals. I love the beautiful antique pieces you find and the history lesson you provide us about these items. And often times you also provide a tour of an old city, etc. which I find interesting. No where, where I live in the Midwest would I find the things you find the quantity of in one thrift day. Nor the prices you pay. Our thrift stores are loaded with junk with high prices that are barely even vintage and could be damaged in some way. And this is the kind of stuff the resellers that do programs are buying and selling. And apparently there is a market for as they keep buying it.

    You're not exaggerating by much. I taught in an elementary school in Port Richmond that was built in 1928. My husband taught in Only and his school was a larger version of mine. The floor plan was very common throughout the city. Oh but how gorgeous the building was. Hardwood floors, marble wainscoting, just amazing details.
    Loved the tour.

It is so fun to see familiar sights as you drive through NJ and Phila.). I especially enjoy seeing your "hauls" and learning what they are and who made them. I have learned a lot from your videos, Thanks so much for making them!

    Scott what a absolute stunning haul today!!! I was blown away by ALL of these treasures! You mentioned the console bowl and I was absolutely in love! One of my very first pieces of carnival when I started collecting! Us collectors would absolutely call it carnival! This is Floral and optic by Imperial Glass Company as mentioned by Carlisle and David Doty. You see the floral banding and optic wide panels and we would call this color smoke unless it has a slight yellowish color to it than we would call it clam broth! What a find! Also when you held up the composition oil lamp I liked to have fell out of my barkalounger! I came across a very similar lamp a few months back and was absolutely stumped other than knowing the pattern on the glass reservoir was the bridges banding pattented early on by John Bridges. Also inspecting the lamp further I found a patent date on the spill ring dated July 2 1872. This is why I love watching you! I learn something new in every video! I can't thank you enough 🙏
