- What a weekend of thrifting. I went out to my local flea markets looking for antiques and collectables to flip for a profit. It is safe to say the sellers did not disapoint this weekend. The varitey of antiques on offer were so cheap I filled my boots my car and everything else I could carry in. it has been the best buying weekend for me since last year, the antiques and collectables haul was massive, it will be split up, some will be sold on my ebay store, some on my antiques website www.antiquesarena.com and the rest will be put up for sale in my antiques shop in south wales uk.
To give you an idea on just some of what I bought this weekend, I bought a rare 1940s hand painted barge ware tin bath, this is a spectacular find and I love the original painted finish to it. I bought some taxidermy , now I know its not every ones biscuit at the moment however it was so cheap I couldnt leave it there. I bought a large early 20th century boars head a water buffalos horn that was already mounted for me and a small skull with horns not sure what that is off.
I had some mid century coke advertising by way of an old tray, it is rusted but looks amazing with the wear. One of the collectables that I loved this week was a mirror, this mirror had a map showing all the locations of the coal mines in south wales where I live. I love anything coal mining so this was close to my heart but I will still sell it,
one of the best buys was a very rare early 20th century art nouveau pottery vase produced by Royal Dux/ these early examples dont turn up often and to find one that is almost perfect very large and under priced it was a gift.
My least favourite of my buys were the two jewellery display cases, they are showing good profit but for me this job is about the treasure hunt not the profit. They are bread and butter pay the bills and done get me excited.
This is the reason I do this job, I have been an antiques dealer and appraiser for over twenty years and its the chase and the thrill when you dig something spectacular out of a box of junk . It gets the blood pumping and Adrenalin flowing.
There were loads more antiques and collectables through the film all of which came from my flea market or in the uk we call them car boot sales. I bought so much this weekend It will be split in to three films. In the next film will be a load of Chinese which includes a fine carved and hand painted porcelain table screen, a load of bayonets and swords etc. and the final film will be all the jewellery and silver smalls. So remember to subscribe and stick around for the rest of this amazing thrifting haul.

Omg the Art Deco clock is lovely.. Your markets are amazing.
thank you very much Debs. the markets around here are full of stuff i am fussy but could fill a van every time
Absolutely loved the bath it would look amazing in a concrete garden as a planter
Nice video my friend well done
thank you very much
I havent seen you for awhile so i was so happy to see your video up.
thank you very much for your comment and support
Very nice mannequin head. Great buy.
Superb video as always Edward, love the boars head.
Great video - amazing selection of finds - cant decide what is my fav its such a hard choice - its probably between the manaquin head , the majolica vase and the boar head
thank you very much for your comment, i love all those too.
Walter,the shell lamp is a nice find, most likely late 50s. early 60s. I remember as a kid,a shop down here in Brixham Devon, sadly no more, simply called the SHELL SHOP selling these in many sizes and styles.
Walter RE the Taxidermy, the last one is a young roe buck 1st yr with antlers, the Boar is nice but missing its tusks, which are a main feature to Boar!,
The Shell is my fav today great buys overall, cheers mate
hi patric. thank you for your comment, if you look i think it was the third image around £160 there is an identical one to mine no tusks
Very nice website, well done!
thank you very much appreciate it.
Love those clocks, retro and art deco, great buys, wish I had a flea market like that near me !!! Hope things are picking up now with business. Thanks for the video.
thank you very much sarah. appreciate your support
Great Vid, mate! - I'm absolutely in love with those aluminum pegion holes / draws. Would love those in my house as a decorative and functional object. They really do look gorgeous!
thank you very much for your comment and support
What a haul? I love the clocks and that large brass plate is gorgeous. If I lived in the UK, I would be a regular in your shop.
thank you very much carol appreciate your support
Hi Walter. The framed Welsh piece is very nice, and those two display cases are excellent. Do you have enough cases for your own business? No wonder that vase/urn caught your attention; colors are beautiful. I really like the shop display girl too; it's very sculptural and would display jewelry and hats very well. I miss seeing your jewelry finds. Have the gold/silver jewelry sources dried up for you?
What a fantastic haul! Regarding The shell lamp, it is a "KING HELMET" Shell. They are found on the reefs, where I was raised in the Florida Keys and in the Bahamas, Cuba, etc...
Thank you very much Debbie. appreciate your help
Hey Walter, you are an ace in finding great stuff. Looking foreward to the next video. Greetings Stan.
thank you very much stan
So many wonderful findings 💜
Thank you very much love
Think the Coca Cola tray is an aged replica from the late 1990s, produced for some sort of Promo offer at that time
thank you very much mike. appreciate it
Looking forward to seeing the jewelry 💜
will get it filmed for next week hun
Great video Walter, you’ve given me the confidence to start buying antiques at the boot sales. I’ve managed to pick up an 18th Century Japanese Satsuma tea set for £8 (I hope it’s real and not a modern replica😬), as well as some Crystal and some Art Deco glassware. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment. good luck with your buying and selling, its great fun and i am sure you will do fab, at the price of the tea set it doesnt matter what age it is
Re the brass tray find "floor level is score level"
Hi Jim. Thank you very much for your comment. I so agree with you
if ever there was a mixed bag this is it some interesting items pal how are the sales going ? well i hope have a great weekend
some lovely finds as usual pal that try seems similar to the table you had in your old place I think the small skull with horns may be a Dik-Dik
Thanks mate
hello walter the drawers are galvanised buddy not ally
thank you very much for your comment and help
Great video! Will you be doing any more Chinese Porcelain videos?
thank you for your comment, i will get a film done in the next week or so showing my chinese pieces and talking about them so far
Many thanks for your reply. Looking forward to it!
the coke tray is new, well in the last 15 or so years, it has been aged to look like that
