Oh, George, I got a big laugh over the historic photo album. The photo identified as Haile Selassie that you spoke about with the lady was actually a photo of Chiang Kai-shek, the head of China!! Those photos are of significant importance of which I am sure you are aware. It would be easy to track down which conference that was and compare their images online.
Yes, I am ashamed to admit I overlooked that when I saw the album, I think I need to start wearing my reading glasses! I'm glad a bunch of you pointed it our and hopefully I can pin one of these comments.
I cannot get over George's knowledge!! When Liberace had his show back in the day sometimes he would say "I wish my brother George were here". Sometimes I see things when I'm at antique stores and I say, "I wish George the Antique Nomad were here!"
About 40 years ago I was having dinner at a fellow teacher’s home when I noticed that our silverware had JQA on it. I was astonished to learn my friend was related to John Quincey Adams and we were eating on inherited silverware.
I had never heard about the liners from cigar boxes sewn into little quilts. My mom 93 has been a quilter forever and I've been around antique shops for 50 years and I had never heard about that. Even old gals can learn new stuff watching your channel. Thank you George!
Wow, thanks! This one had some good stuff. I love Antiques Roadshow, but you don't see a lot that you're likely to find like we do at regional appraisal fairs
Hi, George, the sharp hooked end on the little oil lamp was t to pull the wick out, it was to stick into a beam to hold the lamp, that's why it's flared from the needle- like end.
I visited Colorado about 10 years ago and I saw a large mourning frame filled with an array of mourning hair, priced at 250.00 very beautifully displayed. I was tempted to buy but didn't. Now wish I had.
What a great appraisal fair George, thank you! So thrilled with the Martin Boyd bowl as I've not seen him shown/discussed before! I, too, thrifted a piece, your 🇨🇦 neighbour: a pristine condition decorative hanging plate (untouched by any hanging apparatuses phew) of an Aboriginal hunter crouched with his spear in front of a desert background. It's just beautiful and in my forever collection 😍
So informative! As I was watching this you appraised an elephant. I had just bought the same one yesterday at an estate sale and it helped me know what it was!! Thank you
Why do people cringe over human hair? My hair is very clean all the time. I think Hair is beautiful to make jewelry out of or whatever you need to do with it. Love your show!
😎👍I found a small vase at a goodwill . Research shows it’s a was found a 1934 World Fair# 597 Satin Matte Glaze . Vase created by Frank Joseph Koenig in 1928 . It’s 4 7/8 “tall
WOW I learned a few different things here. Did not realize they had clothe liners in old cigar boxes, I have only seen the wooden and cardboard ones though. Then the pics of WWII had no idea on who they all were at all. Did some research on Haile Selassie he is an interesting read for sure. Being Rastafarian and died in 1975 he led a very active life. How cool, thanks for sharing your knowledge and letting me tag along. Have a wonderful day
Good evening, George! There was what looked like either a milk glass or custard glass kerosene lamp, just to the left of the Wedgwood pitchers, that really caught my eye. Those hair mourning jewelry pieces were really nice. I'd like to have the two main pieces there. That seemed a super-good deal on them. The small oak cabinet was super-nice! I wouldn't mind having that. I really liked that German bible, but I loved the sick call set! I'd pay $150.00 for that in a heartbeat. I have a couple of the Consolidated Glass "Cosmos" lamps. Mine, with the shade, has a shade that matches the font, (not clear). The other one didn't come with a shade. I liked the hand-forged oil lamp. That post WWII album was amasing! It was like a museum, in itself, between two covers! That was a fantastic appraisal fair!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!!
Hello! I thought the hair jewelry and the sick call set were both awfully neat too, and I agree the oak cabinet was a deal. I was surprised to see the Cosmos shade in clear, but I've seen so many where they had peeling paint that I suspect Consolidated had quality control issues with those. I really had fun doing this and I"m glad you enjoyed it!
George, I am watching you at dirty jeans but wanted to come on and make a comment. You never cease to amaze me and you are a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much from you and I’m so glad you’re friends with cat because U2 are my top thrifters! Have you been Thrifting and antiquing all of your life? How do you have so much information? Thank you for all you do.
13:43 Not a Bible - a prayer book/missal, best guess. Even a New Testament would be a LOT bigger than that, but a prayer book was something you carried. My house still has lead paint in it. It's tough stuff and won't hurt anyone as long as you leave it strictly alone. Not sure I'd want to use a can of it now though.
Good to know, I don't speak German well enough to have determined and a missal makes sense. I agree about lead paint, people are very focused on it but it doesn't jump off the walls and into your body!
Yes, it's a Roman Catholic Missal. It was likely given as a gift for the young lady's first holy communion because the holy card depicts a young girl receiving her first holy communion from Christ. I have several from my family dating between the 1870s and the late 1960s. They are a traditional gift for first communion.
George you need to make it a rider on your contact that you get half an hour before the show starts to look through the stalls yourself and make the purchases you want to.
Loretta said that you shouldn't ever talk about tinkling since her last bout with that reoccurring kidney infection. She's still upset with that deal Xeno got on all that discount toilet paper after COVID. Buster don't mind it because he using it up polishing the scratches out of your bulk purchase of the Howard Johnson Formica covered hotel furniture. Thirty rooms worth, what were you thinking?
I have a very similar triangular shaped chair to the one you appraised but mine is lighter oak, has 4 legs and seems smaller, more for a lady. I was told it may have been a chair used on a train. I have no idea if that is true. Funny, I have a similar, small German bible that you appraised next and also the same wooden box that came after but mine has had the contents removed. What are the odds?😊
I'm looking for the artist in this video after realizing how high the values have gone! I personally like 1910s California plein-aire paintings, they are well documented in the Charles Evans Hughes art books on the subject
I love your videos. vi ha e a set of Wm Rogers vintage silverplate vintage grape pattern. The pattern was discontinued in 1904. Does it hurt the value being over 100 yrs. old?
That photo album really had my full attention as a former history major (with a focus on the World Wars). So amazing! I have a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from WWII that I bought at a yard sale. I would love to know if It's actually worth anything (though I plan to keep it).
Dude, I enjoy your videos, but it's killing me. In the last item (WWII Picture Album), that is not a picture of Haile Salassie. That is Chiang Kai-shek, who is Chinese, not Ethiopian. OOOOh man, not even the right continent. Maybe you were being nice, and not correcting that lady. You really need to go back and edit that, sorry.

Lol I love that! My friend Misty at Thrifter Junker Vintage Hunter is a huge Liberace fan
Absolutely George is amazing

Thank you George!
I'm so glad! I don't see those often either
@cancerlmar I hope you get the chance to tell your story! It takes time, I had very few viewers the first several months
Way better than Antiques Road Show...thank you George....just wonderful.
Yes! Way better than Roadshow. ❤
Wow, thanks! This one had some good stuff. I love Antiques Roadshow, but you don't see a lot that you're likely to find like we do at regional appraisal fairs
Thank you George for another wonderful learning experience. ❤
Your wealth of knowledge is amazing🥰
The colors on that MAP!!!!
That was neat
Hi George, hope you're doing well! I am just about to watch again. 🎉
That carved chair gives off beauty and the beast vibes
The 1st glimpse of you doing appraisals. Such varied and interesting items. 😊
love the old war album!
Boy, I would have paid $100 for that 1900 watercolour! Would have reframed and different mat colour. Great show!
Good call!
It is amazing what the right frame/ matting will do!
Hi, George, the sharp hooked end on the little oil lamp was t to pull the wick out, it was to stick into a beam to hold the lamp, that's why it's flared from the needle- like end.
I love the way you respected the little bible.
George that was amazing antique appraisal show, and the boots that you went to was amazing also. Thank you 🤗

Oh how fun! I like Australian ware and rarely find it.
Thanks! Enjoyed this.
Loved the video! You do such an excellent job!
Packed full of great items!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! My favorite was the old photo album! ❤️
My husband says Dutchboy was “mislead” 😂thanks George!
You must have a photogenic memory !
What a great video. I learn something new every time! Thank you.
OMG...I wish I was at this show. So many great things
George, I find your vast knowledge just amazing! So fun to watch your videos!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wow- what a wonderful video- thank you 💝
Sorry I missed the live chat. Watching replay!
Great show!
In the photo album...the picture was not that of Haile Selassie, it is a picture of Chiang Kai Shek ....I believe.
You are right and another viewer pointed that out! I should've known that from the photo. I think I need reading glasses!
I just love all the stories! ❤
So informative! As I was watching this you appraised an elephant. I had just bought the same one yesterday at an estate sale and it helped me know what it was!! Thank you
Great timing! You're most welcome
This was great Thank you
This was a fascinating appraisal fair!.
Great appraisal video George! Great stories! Thanks for sharing!
The stories make it for me! I'm glad you concur
Hello, George. This is a great video. Such a variety of interesting items.
Why do people cringe over human hair? My hair is very clean all the time. I think Hair is beautiful to make jewelry out of or whatever you need to do with it. Love your show!
Thank you! Yes, I got over hair jewelry "being weird" as soon as I saw how cool it can look
Awesome video! Thank you for posting it.
Those post war photos should go to a war museum or NATOs history archive or some such. Great treasures and wonderful knowledge. 🇬🇧
So fun, your so brilliant 😊ty
Oh my goodness George I love the green dishes and the blankets. Thanks for such an interesting video 📸📸📸📸
Glad you enjoyed it!
💖
George impressive the ww2 info you have. Good show

The photo identifies as Haile Selassie was actually the head of China, Chiang Kai-shek!! It is easy to compare their images online.
Fascinating you are a wealth of knowledge

Oh thank you! I've been thrifting since childhood and antiquing since not much after that. I'll have to do my origin story someday!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Hi George, yes doing your backstory would be great. I would be super interested. Do you ever come to California Thrifting?

Ive always loved landscape paintings especially CA or TX. Are there any good paintings, artists you would recomend to buy?
I'm looking for the artist in this video after realizing how high the values have gone! I personally like 1910s California plein-aire paintings, they are well documented in the Charles Evans Hughes art books on the subject
@@TheAntiqueNomad me too. Think we have the same taste.
I love your videos. vi ha e a set of Wm Rogers vintage silverplate vintage grape pattern. The pattern was discontinued in 1904. Does it hurt the value being over 100 yrs. old?
No, that actually would be better in my opinion. Vintage grape is also a very popular pattern

Cool! i find them fascinating
How do you know so much???
Couldn’t that cover also be Welsh?
I know they were made similarly there but I don't believe they exported to the US
where is the level 3 chat?
What is a level 3 chat?
Is showing on West Coast? I m EDT
1850 for the tin sand toy?
Hmmm I don't recall it being that much. Please send a time stamp and I'll try to explain better.
What was that map of? 1/4 of Europe was cropped off.
Dude, I enjoy your videos, but it's killing me. In the last item (WWII Picture Album), that is not a picture of Haile Salassie. That is Chiang Kai-shek, who is Chinese, not Ethiopian. OOOOh man, not even the right continent. Maybe you were being nice, and not correcting that lady. You really need to go back and edit that, sorry.
I appreciate you very much for pointing that out! I should have known that from the photo and you're right. Hopefully people will see this comment.
