Welcome new subscribers and I'm so glad you found me! If you would like to see the store where I found the 1940's Vernon Kilns China, just click here: • Come thrift with me! ...
Yes, Michelle.....I said a bit more than WOW when I saw that Jadiete. That old woman received it in the 30's when she was starting her family and at some time in the 50's it was packed away until I bought it. I love it!
Yes linens are something I'd like to learn more about. I'm pretty good at determining what decade they are from but I have no clue what the different fabrics are.
That's just were I got it from....my mother called me and my brother "heathens' when we did things like come to the dinner table without a shirt on. I'm glad you laughed!!!!!
What an awesome haul. I love all of it, especially the linens. Wish my thrift stores sold things so affordably. The people who do the pricing think it’s the Antique Roadshow. Sigh...
TFS! Appreciate your knowledge! Going through my 85 year old mom’s collection. I am researching but you give me LOL moments during this trying time! SNAP*BAM on Fireking!!! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️
More beautiful stuff!!! WOWZERS!! My parents were married in 1947. I have so many things from her wedding and engagement showers..LOL I have so many linens and dish towels, and some crazy square set of china (even the coffee cups are square! ) I have an orange juice squeezer with an aluminum collection cup and a pull down handle that I use quite frequently. I have my Grandmas Franciscan Apple china ( made in California -set of 12 - includes all kinds of special dishes (pit dishes, handpainted glass sherbert dishes and water goblets) , that are not made in the reproductions . I actually USE all my inherited things. I enjoy them quite often and it sure shocks my guests when I use "the good stuff"..LOL
Thanks for the great info on cream soup bowls. I knew that was correct names for them, but had absolutely no idea that those were actual handles on the sides. I have some with one of my sets of dishes. Now, I shall happily use the handles for what Emily Post instructed. The video clip was very cool. Just love your videos . . . & the cat.
My granny had cup towels like those. She made some from the printed flour sacks from way back. She still had flour sacks when she passed that she hadn't done anything with them. It was crazy the stuff me and my granddad found that she had hidden away.
Scott!! The Franciscan Ivy was the table setting for the I Love Lucy Show! I was so excited to see all the pieces you had. I've been looking around for that pattern for some time. I watch the reruns because it brings back good memories of my mother who wouldn't miss an episode. (I sure miss her!) Scott I love your Channel it's always fun to listen to you share your knowledge of all the beautiful vintage items that I'm crazy about and they just so happen to remind me of my grama too! :)
Wonderful, wonderful vintage haul! I would love to find as many great treasures as you do. I covet the Christmas towel with the pixie, I love pixies. The striped towels look like they were made with the Fiestaware colors in mind. I do find lots of vintage linens at estate sales, not so much at the local thrift stores. And the large chrome coffee pot is amazing! Thanks for sharing your finds and knowledge, I just subscribed and need to go back and binge on your previous videos!
You're cracking me up Scott! We're gonna have to keep an eye on you in case you get brave or maybe just a little crazy one day. 😂 LOL So many beautiful dishes. Love them all but that jadite just seems to glow sometimes. What an awesome find and bargain on the hand towels. That last set were the coolest color combo. Those towels are hot right now thanks to the "farmhouse" craze. Thanks for the laugh Scott 😊
Hi Scott ! You had me drooling with the Christmas dishes!!! I wish I could find some. I was just browsing these on eBay the other day!!!! Great stuff as usual!!!!
This was a really good haul! I love seeing the 30's 40's stuff. We don't have as much early stuff around here and when it does show up, it's priced high!
I LOVE your thrift stores!!! I am so glad that I never saw/heard of the nude ebay seller. : ) I bet that you were goggle eyed when you saw so much McKee!
When you said you got all of that Laurel for $30 I literally gasped so loud with my jaw dropped that my kids thought something bad had happened. LOL Congratulations on your find, its beautiful!
More great stuff! I've sold Johnson Brothers before and luckily I had a good pattern that sold really well. They were combination of round and square plates, JB must have liked doing that. I got mine at an auction in a box lot for $10 and sold those in different lots for probably about $200 as there was also a lidded vegetable bowl that went for almost $100 on it's own. I still have some pieces left including some cups, no saucers came with them. I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Hopefully you did something fun like thrifting on your day. We are 6 days apart, I'm older than you. :? Always enjoy and look forward to your videos.
Hi Scott!! Another great video, love them all!! Also love your theme song about the old curiosity shop. Who is the artist on that song? I would love to get a copy to add to my growing collection of music from the era. Thanks in advance and I look forward to more awesome videos.
I'll get back to you on the artist. I just can't remember. I've been collection old 78' rpm records for 35 years and it came out of my collection. I really do need to dig it up again and give credit to the musicians! Thanks for watching!
That would be great if you have time one day. Thanks again for sharing your videos and your insight and knowledge of all things in your old curiosity shop. You make it such a fun place to visit.
GASP!! 15.00 USD and 10.00 USD? How is that even possible. Both the dish sets are fabulous. The furniture coasters help protect rugs and vinyl floor but also protect the bottom of the legs from water use to clean or that is accidently spilled. I used the plain clear glass one to protect the legs on my whicker furniture in the sun/garden room area. Gosh those dishes are fabulous.
The gentleman in the portrait bears an uncanny resemblance to Edith Suckle's first husband, Winston. And his death was so sudden....and such a tragedy. TFS.
Love the Christmas table cloth. That’s nice that you’re keeping the beautiful green set for yourself. I cannot understand how you were able to buy that coffee urn for only $1.00?? You’d better not ‘reveal’ your thrift store locations ‘cause with those kind of prices, I’d be drivin’ down tomorrow...FROM CANADA!
Yes I was amazed when that coffee peculator was just 1 buck! I'm keeping my thrifting spots a TOP secret. But still fell free to drive down....we'd love to have you!
I was referred to you through the forums on Scavenger Life. I'm happy to find you and can't wait to marathon watch your videos. I'm cleaning out 5 generations of stuff and ran across some glasses that had a handwritten note from Aunt Mary that they were purchased in 1919. I've not yet been able to match any sort of maker or pattern to what I have, but they have a unique Star of David within a Star of David on the bottom, and a SOD within a flower on the sides. I have the photos listed on eBay which can be found searching: 1919 Star of David Juice Tumbler Depression Glass. I would love to know if you think these are common, or rare, or whatever you may or may not think about them.
Hello and welcome! Glad you came my way. Honestly, in my opinion your glass tumblers have nominal value. They were part of a "water set" which usually included a matching water pitcher. Thousands and thousands were made in various pressed glass patters from the 1890 to the 1920's when colored glass took over in fashion. Most folks today don't really appreciate the many lovely patterns of American Pressed Glass, as it is called. Unfortunately, though it is lovely, it's not a very hot item in the collecting word right now. So....keep it and enjoy it or let it go for what you can get. It's a very pretty set.
Hi Scott, can I ask you a question about Anchor/ Fire King stuff? I have some stackable mugs that say Anchor Hocking oven safe that do NOT say Fire King. However every example I see of them online say Fire King. Do you have any clue why this is? Is Anchor Hocking oven safe mugs Fire King anyway even though they don't say it? Thanks for your opinion.
At some point....I'm not sure what year...Anchor Hocking stopped marking "Fire King" on the under sides of their glass and just called it "oven safe". Your mugs might have been made right at the time that they were getting rid of the embossed "Fire King" and in place stamping "oven safe". Anchor Hocking was not always very consistent in their branding. For example, I've seen many examples of Jadeite in the Jane Ray pattern and some of it is embossed "Fire King" on the back and some of it is totally blank! Because it was inexpensive mass produced utilitarian glass....there wasn't much quality control. I hope this helps.
Well, Shannon....I'm gonna hold on to it for a bit. I'm going to find the 2 dinner plates that would complete the set and then decide. I LOVE Jadeite so it might find a new home in my china closet.
Yes it is polite to drink soup out of a bowl. The Japanese do it all the time 😊 When you are making videos be sure to wear a hat 😂 (in case of reflection that is.) Awesome finds!
Well Gypsie, I've been selling on Ebay for 19 years and I've been into the antiques and collectibles market since I was in high school. So I've had about 35 years to learn the "business". But for me....it's more of a love than a business. And it's interesting because the market has changed and new and trendy things are always fun to discover.
I have been selling antiques since the 80’s too (mostly deco furniture) but took a 15 yr break...long story short...retired from real job in 2009 cuz of chronic illness got bored fast....all gas and no breaks type so started designing jewelry and reselling smalls in 2010. Moved states twice and now in midwest...4 booths and 4 to 6 shows a month...even was hosting a monthly vintage market for awhile...oh yea...I have a chronic illness...crash...stopped shows, down to one booth (oddities) and looking for the next adventure ( I can actually handle) so power watch youtube videos on alternate ways of selling...love about 6 channels...you of course and others...just love the stories, personalities and independent spirits!
Thank you Gypsie. I'm certainly no professional but I do enjoy sharing. WOW 4 to 6 shows a month? That's quite a schedule. How did you manage to stock 4 booths?
I stocked 4 booths and shows by working 7 days a week, 60+ hrs (I say I ‘m retired😜) always sourcing, had others sourcing for me, had an assistant that did nothing but cleaning and pricing...buy in collections, buy in bundles...I am very passionate about this business but just need a simplier life
You're a little low on your jadeite stuff I buy and sell a lot of jadeite on eBay ends prices are a little low I sell those theme little saucers for around $12 to $20 each on eBay
Thanks Skylar. When I am able to purchase items at a low cost, I like passing along good deals to buyers. It helps me keep my inventory moving and also makes folks happy. I like to price things on the lower side because I enjoy being able to constantly add new items to my shop. Thanks for watching.
I collect vintage/antique etiquette books, so I love the Emily Post video!!
Love that green and red in a kitchen...
I love that green set!!
I would have fainted at the sight of all that jadite, LOL!!! What a score.
I certainly did clutch my pearls!
Jadeite is still lovely and elegant, almost 100 years later. I'll never get tired of that shade of green!
Jadeite is very rare in Ontario , it’s gorgeous!
Love it keep the jadeite yep
WOW on the Jadiete!!! What a great lot...love the linens and the J Bros....oh and the music rocks!!! xo
Yes, Michelle.....I said a bit more than WOW when I saw that Jadiete. That old woman received it in the 30's when she was starting her family and at some time in the 50's it was packed away until I bought it. I love it!
Love that coffee ☕️ pot! I’m also loving the Jadite as well. Beautiful linens and in such excellent condition. Love your hauls! 😀
Yes linens are something I'd like to learn more about. I'm pretty good at determining what decade they are from but I have no clue what the different fabrics are.
Yay! I get to shop vicariously through Scott again today! OMGOSH! My grandma had glass coasters under her furniture!
Yeah for grandma and her glass coasters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wanda here Scott glad to find you agin
Not only did my mom call us “heathens” but we were “half raised heathens”. Lol. I laughed out loud when you mentioned that word.
That's just were I got it from....my mother called me and my brother "heathens' when we did things like come to the dinner table without a shirt on. I'm glad you laughed!!!!!
Love that wonderful green jadeite ! My fave is the ivy plates ! I love anything ivy!
What an awesome haul. I love all of it, especially the linens. Wish my thrift stores sold things so affordably. The people who do the pricing think it’s the Antique Roadshow. Sigh...
You must be from Canada.
TFS! Appreciate your knowledge! Going through my 85 year old mom’s collection. I am researching but you give me LOL moments during this trying time! SNAP*BAM on Fireking!!! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️
Love Johnson brothers...
Absolutly beautiful ! Loves the green stuff for the kitchen ! My fave color.
Thanks, Jose....my favorite color too!
More beautiful stuff!!! WOWZERS!! My parents were married in 1947. I have so many things from her wedding and engagement showers..LOL I have so many linens and dish towels, and some crazy square set of china (even the coffee cups are square! ) I have an orange juice squeezer with an aluminum collection cup and a pull down handle that I use quite frequently.

Love the jadeite. Would love to happen upon a deal like that! Thanks for showing it.
Holy crap how did I miss this video! Freaking amazing! I’m drooling over the Jadeite! 🤗
Thanks for the great info on cream soup bowls. I knew that was correct names for them, but had absolutely no idea that those were actual handles on the sides. I have some with one of my sets of dishes. Now, I shall happily use the handles for what Emily Post instructed. The video clip was very cool. Just love your videos . . . & the cat.
Just loved this and the soup etiquette!!!
Great! So go ahead....slurp that soup!
My granny had cup towels like those. She made some from the printed flour sacks from way back. She still had flour sacks when she passed that she hadn't done anything with them. It was crazy the stuff me and my granddad found that she had hidden away.
I haven't found my first piece of Jadeite YET!! I guess that I need to look in places other than GW and the SA?? Great video! Thanks!!
Amazing haul! Love everything!☺
Thanks, Kellie!
Scott!! The Franciscan Ivy was the table setting for the I Love Lucy Show! I was so excited to see all the pieces you had. I've been looking around for that pattern for some time.

Well welcome to my channel! Yes I was stunned to buy that 1930's Deco coffee pot for just one buck!
Hello Scott!! Beautiful stuff!! I love the Christmas dishes. You certainly pay fantastic prices for the things you get. 👍🏻😊
If only I had a butler's pantry like on Downton Abby....I'd keep a different set of dishes for every season!
LOVE the ivy plates !!
Wonderful finds! Your thrift shops are the best.
Thanks, Bee!
You're cracking me up Scott! We're gonna have to keep an eye on you in case you get brave or maybe just a little crazy one day. 😂 LOL So many beautiful dishes.

Wow my weakness is pretty dishes. Great haul.
Awesome! I learn so much from you. Love the Alice pattern, very cute. ;)
Thank you!
Great haul Great prices!
Thank you, Carol!
Hi Scott ! You had me drooling with the Christmas dishes!!! I wish I could find some. I was just browsing these on eBay the other day!!!! Great stuff as usual!!!!
I love the Johnson Bros dishes too!
You always find the neatest things. I think we all need to take a road trip & go thrifting with Scott. Right, guys? 🚙
How cool would that be....we could rent a bus and take 50 people thrifting!
dude, you are so lucky. I would love to find that jadeite color! I rarely ever do!
Yes....that jadeite was quite a find!!
I especially love the oil painting there are collectors for that sort of thing!
This was a really good haul! I love seeing the 30's 40's stuff. We don't have as much early stuff around here and when it does show up, it's priced high!
Thanks a bunch! Depression era is my favorite so I guess I'm in the right part of the country!
OMGosh - the Jadeite dishes are all gorgeous - makes me wish I didn’t already have WAY too many dishes!! And the linens are phenomenal. Great finds!
I'm keeping the jadeite, Del. When would I ever find such a complete set in perfect condition?????
I don’t blame you - it’s gorgeous.
I LOVE your thrift stores!!! I am so glad that I never saw/heard of the nude ebay seller. : ) I bet that you were goggle eyed when you saw so much McKee!
I screamed like a middle school girl when I saw that McKee!
Wow.. you sure know your stuff! Fantastic haul. Just subscribed..❤️
Thank you.....glad you found me!
❤️ the 25 cent linens.
MAN ,LOVIN THE JEEP AD !!! WAY TO GO JEEP.
When you said you got all of that Laurel for $30 I literally gasped so loud with my jaw dropped that my kids thought something bad had happened. LOL
Congratulations on your find, its beautiful!
I gasped too!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Happy birthday to you too!!!!!!
Love the Vernon Kilns, kinda has a Georgia O'Keefe/Southwest vibe.
Yes Yes Mary.....I can totally see that set on the dining room table of Georgia O'Keefe!!!!!
LOL! I thought the caster coasters were little salt tureens.
Luv the linens.
Thanks Patty
Wow, great finds again! So jealous 😊
So many neat things, Scott!

I was amazed at the awesome prices for the dishes. Glass furniture coasters were awesome. I think they need to make a come back!
How do u tell the difference between the salts and furniture casters ?
Oh the furniture caster coasters are larger and the glass is much thicker than salts.
Jade-ite 😲😲😲
Do you have any Homer Laughlin dishes?
Which pattern?
@@oldcuriosityshop265 The partial set I have is Virginia Rose
The gentleman in the portrait bears an uncanny resemblance to Edith Suckle's first husband, Winston. And his death was so sudden....and such a tragedy. TFS.
Yes...it was then that Edith only wore mourning dress for a full year! Bless her heart.

Great haul!
Thanks for wearing clothing. 🤪
My pleasure! :)
You left us hanging on what you bought at that shop, the dishes??? Did you tell us? I never saw that you did?? I am still waiting to hear haha
Oh my gosh.....I'm not sure if I told you or not! How mean of me. :(
I spoke too soon!!

Scott's Old Curiosity Shop it's so stunning and classy!!! Great score Scott!

Awesome finds!
The link was removed?
Please get yourself a head camera so you have two hands. Makes your clips so much easier to watch 😊
How do you determine what to buy to sell? Is it by era or the luck of the draw?
