Lost My Way, Found Great Vintage! | Deals in Rural Antique Venue

- Wrong ways lead to right choices in this video! A detour around one small town antique shop shoots us over to Carterville, Illinois, where we stumble across a recently opened antique mall. Cricket & Red Door is the merger of two prior shops, I've heard about this place and am excited to see it in person!
Once a doctor's office, pharmacy and brothel (really!), this 1910s edifice opens up to reveal a century's worth of fun antiques and valued vintage goods! Southern Illinois has a surprising amount of mid-century decor and home goods, and we spot Treasure Craft, Tupperware, Caro-Nan purses and a Star Wars Millennium Falcon in box before we see our first true antique, a handsome 1890s American oak dresser.
There's a lot of vivid color and graphic interest to displays here, from a 1970 Kodak bikini girl placard to colorful kids toys and Fire-King jadeite. There's some bargains too, including a beautiful French 1920s fragrance bottle (best applied using the kidskin gloves with original $10 tag we got for $3), along with a 1969 Sears catalog that will give an hour's entertainment while we look at what all these things we collect now cost when new. (Spoiler alert: TV's and stereos are a much better deal in 2023!)
Then it's upstairs to their new dealer level, where the brothel has been replaced by a much more genteel group gathered for sale. Glass catches our eye first...Fostoria ruby coin glass, a uranium green 1930s fridge pitcher, 1960s art glass and a Venetian vase that gives us a chance to explain the origin of the term "straw mark". A fine 1910s Hanke vase from Austria, a complete and original Royal child's stove set and an elaborate 1910s screen door offer the style and finery of true antiques, rounding out this very fun antique shopping adventure!

Cool historical info on the building 😷 and 💃
My Mom worked in a glove factory in the 50s. She put the glove on a mold and turned it inside out and sewed on the liner. She hated that job. The floor gals(managers) hated each other and made everyone’s life miserable lol.
It must have been so very tedious. I’m so sorry so was so unhappy there. 😟
It’s a shame that factory work and workers came to be disrespected as more people sought college degrees and white collar jobs! That attitude has left us without enough skilled labor now
So sorry. Plus it was very hard work !!
The owl from Germany has been a lamp with a small thing in it in order to be against smoke which is now been missing.
Ah thank you for that information!
Loving the doctor /drug store/ brothel combo - perhaps it improved the brothel business with the proximity of the other 2 giving perhaps a ‘safer’ environment !!
Perhaps so! At least you knew where to get the penicillin
Than you for all the information you always share with viewers!!
Thanks for taking us along! Nice to see Xeno again.
You really need to visit us here in Waco, Texas. We have really cool antique / vintage shops as well as everything Magnolia! We would love to have you!
Waco is on the list!
Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!
Your so knowledgable,your a very interesting man lv Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
I prefer shopping in thrift shops and/or antique shops...love putting unique pieces in my home. I love following you along and learning from your vast knowledge!
Yes! I love wearing old kid gloves! I even have red and white polka dot cotton ones. I am such a Barbie Girl!
That's so cool! I like seeing people wear gloves and hats because nowadays it stands out
I have so much Dorothy Parker in me. There are just times and places for such things. Like the theatre. I would never go to the theatre in anything but a little black dress. It horrifies me to see people pay premium prices for Broadway shows and go in shorts and t shirts. I was raised by a grandmother who would never go out without a hat, gloves and pearls. People cared more back then. Not saying I don't love my ripped jeans, but they have a place. I remember my parents on Friday and Saturday nights having parties or going to parties at friends; houses. You wore cocktail dresses. That is what they were for. People should bring those days back. @@TheAntiqueNomad
George, I always appreciate your incredible knowledge base of all things antique and vintage!! And, that you so freely share that knowledge with all of us is incredibly kind and such a gift! You truly are a gem!!
Thank you. 🌟😘
Yes, u are so correct
It’s thrilling to find great items in a thrift store when you love the thrill of the hunt! That’s what I usually go for but I enjoy going into places where everything is displayed and thought out too!❤
In answer to your question, I've had great luck finding pieces that I collect in antique malls where the reseller didn't know what they had.
Me too, Bri!
The pink and green 😮 Blendo!
I'm absolutely a thrift store "collector," although Whatnot is a deeeeeeep pool of temptation. My purchase budget is under $50, and if I can find something fab under $30, I'm thrilled to death.
Buying for gifts--that's a different thing, but I love picking out the perfect vintage gift. Bookends go well in my family.
I can't get enough of bookends myself!
Really enjoyable video. Even more interesting was the few items you saw that you never saw before 😉. Please keep the shorter videos coming.
We'll likely do more shorts (and more longs lol)
Southern Illinois..a great place to pick!
Your expression is priceless 😂
I prefer antique & vintage stores ..part of the collecting for me is admiring all the beauty . In finding choices of colors & sizes of the object im obsessing on , lol
I like that aspect too
I was drawn to that glass table display too! 😍
Very nice ❤
Fun accidental detour. Thanks for taking us with you.
So sorry I haven't been able to be catching the premieres. Hope you are well.
cute little store!
TX had many pizza Inns in 70s. It was good pizza. They tried to stay alive but sunk.
Love this place lots of beautiful things thanks guys enjoyed the video
I did as well. ❤
I enjoy both thrift/vintage stores and antique stores … but if I have to say one, I’d say thrift/vintage stores because I like to think I’m getting a bargain 😂 It’s all fun though! I started collecting McCoy in the 90’s, and still get a thrill when I see that mark on the bottom!
Wild George, that was a really great shop. I like the stuff that you got. And I bet you were surprised as well as us.
That count down video before the show started is fantastic! Seriously impressed. Cudos
RUclips gets credit but we did choose it lol
You are so knowledgeable.
Give me a thrift store or antique mall any day. I've been thrifting since the early 70's when I was a teenager.
Great video and so good to see you and Xeno
Thanks so much! It's always great to hear from you
I like the thrill of the hunt and searching for amazing bargain finds, so when im shopping, i usually thrift. But i love going to antique stores and malls so much, too. Yiu are teaching me so much. Im not a reseller, persay but i collect and gift many items too. Im disabled and on a fixed income so often cant afford antique stores too.
You would be surprised what you can find at a good price. I am on SSI, and I have bought several gifts from antique malls and stores.
Doctor's office next to a brothel....built-in clientele! Where do I like to hunt? Church rummage sales and legit small charity shops. Chain thrifts are often picked over and overpriced. There aren't any real antique stores close enough to me to hit regularly. Just scored an alexandrite (neodymium) glass vase at a charity thift today...for $10. Hard to argue with that.
Church sales are great! One of my favorite kinds to shop. I like small local charity shops better usually too.
Nice little shop!!
It has many things 😅
Love the hunt, definitely thrift stores.
When adding high-end pieces to my collections, I prefer going to well organized antique stores as I usually find better quality pieces and usually find that they are in great condition. But I also enjoy the "hunt" when going to thrift stores and estate sales to hopefully find a scarce piece in the wild:)
Yes, lots of fun!
I like that store. It was well laid out and all of the booths seemed clean and up to date. I wonder if the store or management was new?
I think they opened last year.
Yes, the whole thing is pretty new
A straw mark is where colder shears cut hot glass off the blob of molten glas to fit in the mould
I did some research, and you are on the right track, which I was not! Though it looks like a piece of straw might have burned off the surface causing a straight line (hence the name), it turns out they are formed by any cold contact with the hot glass, whether a cold spot in a kiln, an environmental thing during blowing or finishing (like cold shears cutting the glass) or in the annealing process. Thank you for your comment, I was told the old "straw in the annealing process" by an elderly dealer when I was rather young and I just believed it!
Wonderful! Ty, George!❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I prefer a thrift store/junk store that way I can look at my own pace. I actually found some A H Heisey Empress Yellow (sahara) that glows, for $4 sugar/cream pieces at a thrift store. They have some serious sleepers. Happy hunting and safe travels
That's a nice way to shop, and what a good find!
Welcome to so. Il.!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Oh George...helping me unwind like you always do watching these and cheering up.... and just thinking abut that perfect not hot pink but strong rose mauve 80's torch lamp mom "made me" lol leave in Pdx in the condo for light and buyer's viewing...I just loved that 50's shorter one..fun to see the styles and colors of the decade. Also love you commentary from so many different angles and being who you are..so appreciate you and can not wait to see you at some booths around this country. That Fostoria coin in that red is pretty...in a funny way to me..a nod to coin collectors and finance folks and the beauty of glass in a nicer kind of glass still produced more for many and not just a FEW...or one. I LOVED that RH painted vase..wow. I love all of the different ways of shopping...I am seriously considering going to Vegas on a cheap ticket and just because big enough to have bins and thrift store and curated and flee market and niche Lady and all and the closest cheapest air out of here...befor i get my big longer time in going to NW and Florida and now,,,gotta go to St. Regis. Dad still has his Poncho Villa. I have a black on black carve out the shiny part for design Mexican styled crow that I love that I got at a thrift store in Portland way back...have zero idea of worth but think older and just LOVE that black pottery look...just a little of it..not tons.
My parent's had a set of those glasses with the veneer and couple that are left are in awful shape. We live in NC but they may have bought them in Florida where they married and lived for a short time.
straw mark is a Myth. In fact if you think of the very high temperature of glass whilst it was being made, it’s obvious that any pieces of straw would immediately burn right off, and straw packing is never going to cause an indentation in the hard glass surface. The correct name for the mark is a shear mark, which indicates clearly what made it. Glassmakers used shears.
I believe that was addressed in the video as an original term but thank you
Please listen again to what George had to say about this inclusion.
I think u misunderstood and you are in agreement with George.
Thanks George for a cool vid!❤
I think the stoppers for the Bauer were sold separately originally so not all carafes will have one. Of course, many probably broke or were lost over the years.
I've wondered because I've seen so many without. I prefer them with either way
I remember seeing Pizza Inn during the 90s in Houston, TX
Anna Illinois noted for Anna Pottery, especially the pigs. Big ticket items.
Thanks
Hi George, I enjoy your travels, can you tell me why everyone oohs and awws, over those swung vases?😊
When I'm shopping for specific collectibles, I prefer Ebay. It has everything. Yes, it can be more expensive. It's fast & easier though. I do love the thrift store & antique malls though.
There is a time when if you just have to have it, that's the answer!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Exactly! It's fun to hunt either way!
The ceramic bear is cool. I have never seen it before.
Good evening, George! There was an Imperial "Fashion" water set in the case at front. I have one like that. I liked those decorated annodised aluminium glasses. If they had a pitcher with them, I'd be more than interested in a set of that. Loved that pond boat next to the lamp with the shells in the base. There was what looked like a shrimp trawler on a stand behind the lamp that caught my eye, too. That Frigidaire bottle had was really nice. I liked that. Loved that Austrian vase. I tend to like the antique porcelain vases much better than glass ones. Lots of interesting items there. Thanks for the take-along!
I did see that set, but I thought I remembered it from a photo you sent so I passed it! I would like to keep an aluminum beverage set someday rather than passing them on. I can honestly say I haven't seen a pond boat I didn't like! There's something about Victorian ceramics that is creamy and nice for the types of designs they bear that I think stand out better than on glass, plus transferware actually became advanced too. Thank you for coming with me!
Yes, I did send you a photo that had the "Fashion" set I have in it. I have one of the annodised aluminium sets made by West Bend. The handle, on the pitcher, looks to be Catalin. I'm with you, on the pond boats! The porcelain vases seem to have more elegance to them than the glass ones do, to me. Looking forward to the premier coming up in a few minutes! @@TheAntiqueNomad
@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS how neat to have the Catalán handle!
You were 'lost' in my area! Lol Nice place... I'll have to go check it out.
Yes! You live in a good area to find fun things
I want to go there.
I’m in Missouri and we have Pizza Inns here.
Pizza Inn is also in Texas.
👌🥰💖✨️
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Pizza Inn is Texas also,
Pizza Inn was delicious, but I think they have all closed.
16:04: this doll looks like a puppet on a string my grandmother brought back from a trip to Mexico about 1980. He had a pistol in one Hand.
I enjoy both (thrift/junk and antique stores) but specialty stores can be way over my spending limit. And, some antique stores can be really off putting.
😊
Looks like Xeno's butt did a cameo!
I live in Southern Missouri and we had Pizza Inn. I think they are all gone now.
Which do you prefer - curated or thrift? If you said, I missed it
I prefer curated for the likelihood of finding things, and thrift for the likelihood of the things I find being cheap
I wish i new you were here i live in marion il . And have alot of antique stuff i would sell even cheap but high as you could. But you would have to be truthful cause i only buy. But need to sell .
I always learn something new,
I found a pair of brass or bronze bell bookends, can I clean the rust?😊
I'd look up ways to do it before trying, it can be overlaid with a material that doesn't allow it to shine, and it can get way overpolished and look brand new, which is too much (especially if you use Brasso, not recommended!).
I don't collect bookends lol do you have an address for mail?
I believe there old, green felt on the bottom
@@user-xd2ky4it8m there is, it’s different depending on age
Random, but, I am a writer, and I love grabbing the old catalogs when I can because I like to write historical fiction, and they can be such an excellent resource for writing descriptions,
That is a really fun inspiration!
😅
Thrift/junk store 100% Im'a digger!

I enjoy antique and vintage thrift shopping. I don't. care for the crafty remakes.
I do agree!
Hi George. How can I private message you?
