The iconography on the boards may be valuable. You can put the boards in a clean plastic garbage bin with a tight-fitting lid. Place charcoal briquettes in the bottom and put a rack over it, stack the wooden pieces up, and close it up for about two weeks. The charcoal will absorb the mold and then you can take them outside and gently brush the surfaces with a soft brush.
Another idea is to do a search for wood refinished or ppl who build from used/scrap wood, and strike up a friendship with them. They usually all have trucks to haul wood. If they are close enough to you, they will buy any pieces of old furniture/wood you don't want. May save you dump fees plus a little extra $. If not, at least you tried. Wgen I was young, I found used furniture, refinished or painted it. Had the energy & time, just little $. There are also free or cheap costing flyers published in smaller towns. Or places to post FREE items for pickup. Like at grocery stores, bars, etc. Places you may pass. Just some ideas...😊
While the furniture is a disappointment all the very resellable items make it more than a bargain. Great score Renee. I'd love to hear the final tally on this. I bet you break 4 figures in profit. Great follow up on the first video too. Your usually stellar content.
It will be a little bit before I can provide an idea of how much profit came from the unit. I've only gone through the health & beauty tote so far, working on the linens next!
@@PaperandMoose Of course. No rush. I watch each video as soon as it drops so once you get an idea I'm sure I'll see it. Just seems like a really lucrative locker.
Yay Renee. This really was a great Unit. I say you really got your money back from this Unit Sweet Heart. God Bless you Renee. HUGS 🤗❤️. Mari'a. 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗👍👍👍👍💕💕💕🍂🍁🍂🍁
This was a great unit. You made your money back just in the art supplies alone. That paint is still good. I would jump for joy if I found those. Thanks for sharing 🎉❤
I got a feeling that storage unit is the leftovers from someone’s estate . The heirs made sure to destroy or keep all paperwork for the estate lawyers and will reading . Notice there wasn’t any gold or silver jewelry ? Or even vintage costume jewelry ?
I really enjoy your videos. You inspire me and dazzle me with your smile. I hope you find more good stuff and keep on posting videos, so I can watch during my recovering from post COVID illness here in the Netherlands.
The big painting is a mass-produced decor painting, absolutely typical in all respects. Probably from a furniture store in the 60s - if you bought a sofa, they would ask if you would like a nice painting to hang over it.
@@vinyl1Earthlink I believe you are correct. As you know, just because it is on canvas, it doesn’t make it an original. It is simply a print on canvas.
Another great vid Renee, i really enjoy watching you find stuff in your storage lockers and the other places you take us for the same, i always hope you hit the jackpot or at least find the stuff that you love to find, i started watching Taco first when i saw you with him and now i watch both of you on your adventures together or separately, your both awesome, always look forward to your new vids in the meantime ill keep watching your past ones which ive seen a ton of already
Those paintings on wood are called studies, they are the rough work to larger completed studio-size paintings like the big painting of Paris you found, should seriously consider getting them evaluated by an Expert, I would recommend Dr. Lori Verdanmae it is possible each one could be worth over 5 grand a piece if they are not reproductions which I don't think they are.
I'm baaack! The Paris painting is nice...needs a simpler, classic frame...that one is overpowering...looks 60s. Better than a Black Widow! The owner must have been an artist, and kept herself beautiful! Interesting purchase! Mickey did what nature calls us all to do-do!
Great unit and only $20. A couple I follow in Oregon would've had to pay 4 or 5 hundred for that. Those purses alone will bring a lot. There was a lot of them.
Probably still some pleasant surprises in there..good solid unit. Shame about the furniture- makes me wonder if they moved with an open truck and got caught in the rain.
Check the dates on the coins that you found. There may be some junk silver and collectible coins in there. Especially since you found the Kennedy Presidential coin, there may be Kennedy half dollars.
It’s hard to tell, but the Ralph Lauren jacket looked like it had a purple label inside. If so, RL purple label products are the prestige line and very pricey.
Wow! Why doesn’t she have someone with her? It goes too slow she should be more like Jebus he has help and takes out the boxes you don’t feel confined in that space.
@@PaperandMoose I often think "that would sell on (fill in the blank)." But I know a lot depends on how much space you have for inventory; how quickly you want a turn-around, etc.
That large set of Koh-i-Noor Rapidograph pens are at least $100. It’s a large set, depending on condition of course. Normally, they can be cleaned up rather well with the manufacture’s cleaner. Remember having some on a class list in college. They are not cheap, or college priced art supplies. lol Definitely took good care of them! The art bin looked like it was in fantastic shape! Easily worth $50 or more. Couldn’t afford it, bought a big tackle box on sale for home, found a small art bin on clearance, used that for classes.
Yep and along with the Romanian currency it would suggest a very strong Eastern European link to the unit. It’d be interesting to learn the history of who had the unit tbh.
Cred ca proprietarul a fost din Romania, Europa de Est. Cartea de bucate a Sandei Marin este cartea dupa care au gatit multe generatii de tinere gospodine. Love from Romania ! ❤
Without seeing it close up the furniture may have been salvageable if it was just surface grime. We pick up pieces like this all the time from the reseller areas in our local waste transfer sites. We just vacuum off all surfaces inside and out, then a going over with a damp cloth with a bit of washing up liquid on it will soon remove and mould or mouse pee or fly poop. Then we what we do if the furniture is pre 1980s which means it is made from traditional materials like solid wood or plywood and finished with a lacquer or varnish is to clean it deeper with a three part cocktail that brings life and shine back to the wood. Get yourself an empty and clean jam jar with a lid, pour into the jar equal measures of boiled linseed oil, white spirit and methylated spirits, put the lid back on tight and give the jar a shake to mix the contents then remove lid and apply the cocktail to a clean, soft rag (old tees are ideal) and generously wipe the surface of the furniture with it, shake the jar before each application as the contents will separate. When you have finished cleaning the item with this brew leave it to dry for 10-20 mins, then buff the treated surfaces with another clean, soft rag and the furniture will look as good as new!
That gray mens Ralph Lauren blazer looked like it was a purple label. The purple label is top notch and the most expensive. Usually made in Italy and worth good money.
If I were going to guess, I would say the storage unit belonged to a Romanian woman. Why: one of the coins found, iconography looks similar. She lived through communism and learned to value her belongings, having had to live with scarcity. Also, the cookbooks were dear to her because of her mother's land food, which she treasured and probably prepared herself.
I strongly support the theory that the renter of the storage unit was a lady from Romania. The icons are not very old, but were obviously made using the traditional painting technique (as can be seen in the damaged areas): Egg tempera on stucco, background gilded, probably on a red bolus ground. Icons are the sacred images of the Eastern Church; the lady was probably of the Orthodox faith. A somewhat different and very interesting storage unit. Congratulations again, Renée! Gabriele - Berlin
@@Gabriele-sv9qg Absolutely agreed. I also think that these icons are "newerish", because they don´t have much patina or something that we call "Krakelee". But: who am I to give a decent expertise on icons ! Gute Einschätzung, Gabriele !
The storage unit didn't have a document with the renters's name, but the content provides some clues. Work for Sherlock Holmes 🕵🏻. The museum where I worked also had a collection of icons. I wasn't responsible for it, but I know some of the basics.
I get so excited when there are art supplies in a unit. I collect and use vintage art supplies and paper. Wish we could have seen the brand name of the paints and watercolors...... Koh-I-Noor is a good brand. The pens will sell easily. If I lived near you I'd buy all those supplies!!!! You got a treasure of a unit! Congrats!!!!!
Renee I had a $20 unit I got last month as well. Some mice there because they had stored food. Some very used furniture and lots of half open cardboard boxes scattered around. 10x10 unit and based on ' looks '.. why it sold for $20. Not looking very appealing. Had some totes or boxes with brand new unopened small appliances, bedding and various boxes of youth sized New Uggs. as well as other resellables. Uggs are good. But the kicker at the end was something that did NOT belong there based on how unit was stored and its contents. Some black plastic bags with clothing/coats on hangers. One had a label but no identifier. The company (was sold to SF Based Emporium stores-now closed as well ) made clothing and based on label date appears to be 1960's Vintage... Black Mink Coat. The other coat which had a content label said Russian Black Rabbit Fur. Did NOT expect to find that in a trashy $20 unit. "You never KNOW what you are going to find "
@@BELINDA_LANE The coat with no Type Identifier was made by " Capwells " in Oakland CA. Capwells was bought out by " The Emporium I think. The Emporiun went out of business in 1996. The other one had a Type label. " Asian Mongolian Genuine Rabbit Fur " and made in Hong Kong
I believe those religious paintings on wood are religious Icons and could be worth quite a bit of money. Please handle them carefully. The more modern framed image of Christ is, I think, also an Icon...
@@PaperandMoose I had an antique booth before cancer hit me. I made 3 storage unit deals.. I would clear them out for free as long as there was vintage and antiques in them. I once got one unit filled with 80s and 90s duck decor. Like the cheesy blue bow ducks. Omg. 😂

I think that’s a first for me hearing about charcoal briquettes! I’ll have to try that method. Thank you for the tip!
They do look really old I’d get them valued properly as could be worth a lot.x
Those are not paintings on wood, they are modgepoged with copies of museum art.

Good buy! Probably $600-$700 in Dooney and Bourke.
Totally worth the work and $$. Loved the Dooney & Burke!! Congrats 🎉🎉
Yes, paints are expensive, and if they’re pliable, they’re usable. That Art Bin wasn’t cheap, either.
Here I thought it was a tool box at first, oops!
So glad you didn’t make us wait a week to see part two, so glad you got a good one.
Good for you! I’m so happy for you! You deserve all the goodness in this world!

If that painting is signed Burnett, you should do more research...if authentic, they can go for big $$. I have a street scene hanging in my house.

Rene. You might consider having the religious pictures authenticated. They may be old.
I’d have those icons looked at carefully they may be worth a lot.
You're going to have the coolest table at the flea market. Congrats 🎊 🎉
Those cook books are perfect for vintage junk journals !! Great video
knife set $39-44
Great unit and only $20.

Great unit. Fun watching the unveiling 😂❤
Icons are orthodox.
Great video and some awesome finds !
You did very well with this one - much better than Taco's unit.....the luck of the draw. Stay well 😁
There could have been anything behind all that stuff in his unit, hopefully luck is on his side next time!
It a shame that you put the Ralph Lauren jacket back bunched as they had it folded..
Fun maggot free storage unit day 😊
Always a good day when there aren't any maggots! 😆
It's good you have Taco Stacks to help you, are you guys an item?
Those Rapidograph pens are worth about $100.
Excellente !!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️

New here! You found some great items for sure. Blessings
Nice horse print
Really fun unit!
Great unit!
You can bleach the furniture and paint
That large picture is nice so were the smaller 2 in the first video
Awesome items. I like the hand bags. A shame with the porcelain, that was a nice pattern.
I just wanna know what your tattoo says you always cover with a Band-Aid…. Haha.. but seriously dream find to get that shed!!.

Thanks for watching!
I think those white sacks in purses are to store expensive purses in?
Glad this was a great unit! Win, win♥️
I’m curious; why do you call the cloth bags protecting the purses “flour sacks.?”
Wonderful unit. Lots of Moolah for you.
Someone probably threw the tubs instead of carefully stacking them
❤❤❤❤❤
you will make a good profit!
Wow! Why doesn’t she have someone with her? It goes too slow she should be more like Jebus he has help and takes out the boxes you don’t feel confined in that space.
Check the silverware for value, even if it isn't silver. Some sells well!
I have lots to research, that’s for sure!
Much better than some of the clean 0uts . Your work has only began ,but great fun to make a profit .😃
The lei (plural leu) is Romania’s currency
Just out of curiosity, how do you decide what you keep to sell on eBay? You seldom mention anything other than the Flea Market.
I go through & check pretty much everything, determine what’s for flea market & what would sell better on eBay from my research.

What did the funiture look like? Did you just dump them all? 😱😱What is the cost on that, I am a dane and it cost nothing here so I am courius 😅
Lei is Romanian and 620 is about $139 US
The cook books are in Romanian
Totes really are not good for fragile item storage. Always should be smaller cardboard boxes with appropriate cushioning and dividers
you need to check the wooden pitchers some realy old paintings might surprise you
The religious paintings on board are Orthodox icons, the Saint slaying the dragon is St. George who was one of the patron saints of Russia.
