More good information! So many things the older dealers told people like me back in the 1990s that were misinformation. I keep learning and appreciate your help
I I've never ever liked studying or reading "HISTORY." Boring, yawn....but George Higby, you broke me!! I watch, completely interested and absorbing your lessons as long as you dispense it. Thankyou, love Dianne
I'm so glad! The problem with history is that it isn't taught in a way that shows its relevance to today. When you actually show the things that remain and talk about why they came to be, then it has context and gets more interesting!
George, you are so generous with your time with other resellers! I appreciate this, as well as the information you provide as we shop about with you. Susie
It's not the fact you put out a video for us to enjoy what you did, but it's the fact that your descriptions of what we WILL see are even more inviting!!!!
What a great video! Sorry I missed the premiere! Loved seeing all of the things you found. It was an honor to be in your video. Had such a. Great time hanging out with you! Hope to see you again some time!
Pottery has always held my interest the most for collectibles, thank you so much for sharing the Lessell piece George, wow! I learn so much from watching your videos 2 or even 3 times. Once for enjoyment and then again to take notes and mental pictures so I can recognize the items on my own. Your wealth of knowledge is captivating. Thank you! 🦋❤️🦋
Had never heard of Lessell pottery but that particular piece just spoke to me. New hunting goal unlocked. Thanks for sharing your endless depth of knowledge George.
Oh George! I loved this video! We have been at same shows 15 years ago before I ever seen your RUclips videos. My parents and were in antiques and native American art buisness my whole life. We did the Portland Expo for 7 years. My mom specialized in children's stoves that parents taught them how to cook next to the large cook stoves. Some were salesman samples. We would sell out in Portland. Loved your video on that. Serious illness knocked me outta the buisness. Also I lost my folks and the rest of my bio family. I'm an only child so it took many years for me to recover. Your videos made me feel like I haven't been alone. I'm glad my parents died the year before the values of things dropped so drastic! Your videos help me show my friends my life before. I'm sure we've crossed paths.. I just want you to know how important your videos are! I never made it to Centralia. It was the next trip planned before my world stopped spinning. It's a wonderful business with great people like you. Heart felt thank you again
@@loriehilton-reynolds9592 I am sorry for your losses lorie. The Portland show is back again in October. I will most likely go. If you go, we should try to meet up at George’s space to say hello. ✌🏼
Hi there! I might have known you from Portland, depending when you were doing it. What a fun collection of childrens stoves that must have been. I'm glad you're feeling reconnected to this fun group of fellow enthusiasts, I know your parents wouldn't recognize the business today but there's still life in it. Hope to see you in Centralia next year?
This market is incredible....lots of real ANTIQUES...and super high quality stuff. Im partial to glass and porcelain/pottery and it's great to see dealers that carry such high-end stuff at very realistic prices.
I really loved that piece that your friends Mark and Lori showed near the end of the video. I find myself becoming increasingly drawn to more muted colors of glass these days. I have that lovely gray piece I purchased from you and one other, and I have a small, clear swung vase as well. Mind you, not that I don't love my green and blue glass and pottery, but that piece of glass with the birds was just lovely. Great video George! Thanks! I bet that fair was fun!
What an amazing antique show. So Much amazing glass absolutely Beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing. Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful day
Hi George! I love the drapery tie-backs. $10 is such a steal! I have 7 of them (3 pair and an extra) that I found many years ago in Maine. I love the Staffordshire foot bath--wish I'd find one of those! And the jeweled Czech lamp. Wow, what a wonderful flea market. So many pieces I'd love to own. Thank you so much for showing us!
George, I see you are going to Canada! That's wonderful! I guess you'll be crossing in Ogdensburg or 1000 Islands and headed to Montreal. I cant wait to see your "Montre-HAUL" if you do head there. It's an incredible time for bargains in Canada now with the exhange rate being so favorable to the US dollar. If you cross in Niagara Falls you'll pass my house....Ill be sure to wave!
I’m not surprised you know about pottery out of my home province of Alberta . Thank you for promoting it 😊. Some beautiful things you’re showing as always .
I made a special trip to Medicine Hat to tour the old kilns! I'm a pottery wonk though...plus I love shopping in Canada and try to observe what was made there that's different
@@TheAntiqueNomad Our potteries have a different look to them, let’s say California pottery has . But I hardly see Mexican pottery here . I actually saw a piece of Roseville pottery for the first time here . Beautiful cookie jar with a large chip on its lid . I was heart broken .
Was my favorite show to do! I think we set up there for twenty years and sold a lot plus bought well to. Thanks for doing these well put together videos, it's like still being there!
Good evening, George. There was a statue of Queen Victoria, behind Dom, that really caught my attention. I liked the Putz houses, over the _Merry Mushrooms_ pieces. All those old keys in the showcases...I would've been stuck there for quite a while. There was a celluloid prayer book, next to the Moonies book, that caught my eye. I wonder if it had a crucifix inside the cover. Loved the quarter-sawn oak table and the folk art box. That Victorian tear catcher was really intriguing. The celluloid travel mirror was super-nice. Loved the old Imperial pieces. That Lessel vase was amasing! I have a set of the Hawaiian hula girl and fire dancer, like the hula dancer Dom had there. That looked like a really fun place to browse and shop! Lots there that caught my eye. Thanks for taking us along!
I didn't focus on the statue of the Queen, but it was a good one! I enjoy Putz Houses too, a childhood memory. In general, I was so happy to see some true antiques at this show, and the celluloid mirror and tear saver were especially pretty to me! I see so little 1920s Imperial, I thought the Fenton fans needed to realize that Hanging Hearts has been around much longer than they realize. I'd like to see the fire dancer!
@@TheAntiqueNomad From what I've noticed, three or four years ago people started really going after the early Imperial pieces. It was, and maybe still is, actually outpricing Northwood. Imperial did a lot of geometric patterns, and people seemed to like that better than the more "fruit and flower" patterns of the other early makers. I'm happy I got my Imperial beverage sets when I did - years ago, before the prices escalated like they have, in more recent years. I actually got a complete Imperial _Tiger Lily_ set, in Helios green, for $35.00. That was quite number of years ago, before people started paying attention to Imperial's pieces. I'd like to have one of the Riihimaki _Tiger Lily_ sets, but they're not, by any means, cheap. If I can ever figure out how to put photos on my new computer, I'll send you a photo of the Fire Dancer and Hula Girl I have. This computer doesn't have a slot large enough to put a card, from a camera, in it. It's made to use something to connect from a "tracking device"...mobile phone...and I don't have one of those things. There have been several people wanting to buy the Fire Dancer and Hula Girl, but I don't want to let them go. I know it seems odd for me to like something like that, but I do like them.
I love your knowledge and the content you put out!! I just today was trying to find information on a brooch I picked up but couldn't quite figure out the name. It's BOGOFF lol!!! What are the chances?? Thank you again!!
I am not surprised to see the African American portraits as the Underground Railroad went through Upstate New York and many towns have some of their descendants as residents
That's true! I see it in Michigan near Battle Creek too, my great-great-great grandparents housed escapees and then put them in wagons to Port Huron back in the 1850s
The sad/happy face piece @33:35 reminds me of the illustrations of Peter Newell, particularly from his, 'Topsys & Turvys' book published 1893. I believe he both illustrated and wrote it as well. If I remember correctly, each page featured half of a rhyming quatrain for each of the 'topsy' and 'turvy' images. Original publications in good condition can be valuable. He also wrote 'The Rocket Book', 'The Hole Book' and 'The Slant Book' among others. Very interesting, innovative and a bit odd.
The pink Viking glass piece. Most people think it is Ravenhead glass that made it. Is there a connection or is it just wrong information? I had no idea, myself, that it is a Viking glass piece. Interesting! 😃
I've always and only seen it with Viking labels, and it's definitely one of their late production colors. I identify Ravenhead with clear glass and beverage items primarily but I don't know that firm well
@@TheAntiqueNomad Super interesting mystery.😁The claim is that it was designed by Alexander Hardie Williamson. Oh, how the lines can sometimes be blurred by time. 😅
Wasn't there some semi Horror movies supposably set around Lake Placid ? I have Allagators & Betty White ringing in my head when I hear Lake Placid. :~)
George! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH SOMETHING! Especially a craftsman as renowned as Demetre Chiparus!!!! Say it is nt so. DH Chiparus was a French artist of Romanian descent......he was known for his bronze and semi-precious stone and ivory statuettes that were the absolute pinnacle of fine art deco bronze and chryselephantine and enamel statuary. Chiparus' finest pieces sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Thank you so much! I should probably have recognized the name, I know I've seen it before but never had the opportunity to really study it. Thank you for adding to our knowledge!
I would've if I'd had more time! I haven't been running into it as much as I usually do, and we didn't get to the field where I hear there was more of it
Prime time is cool I watch him a lot he is not you George he sees a lot of stuff you like but half the time doesn't know about it . He does buy some good stuff though . In old houses and old stuff . He just is not a genius like you . But he does good .
He's learning a lot though! Considering his main interests were paper and pop culture, he's really picked up on the broader categories you see in estates since he started going to more
