    The 1847 Rogers large spoon is silver plate. It’s a turkey stuffing spoon. The box with the dials inside is a humidor for cigars.

    Hamilton watch at 48:20. You need to go to a jeweler and have appraised. Looks vintage and still have original box. Hamilton is a luxury brand. The watch alone may have paid for the unit and then some.

    38:56ish that green metal two shelf wall hanging will sell better/faster if you spray paint it rustic white or flat black.
    Those bookends looked like ivory there's money there but make sure its legal for you to sell there are/were laws in regards to ivory.
    Great haul! I can't wait to watch the unboxing vid

    I do not know if anyone has posted this yet but the broken plates and ceramics you can sell as a lot. People who do mosaics can use those broken pieces to make art work. Also jewelry makers will buy broken jewelry and repurpose it and make new jewelry with the components. I know I would be interested in them. Hope these suggestions help. Thanks for posting interesting videos. Happy searching.

    With regard to tankards and glasses - if the bottom of the tankards and the feet of the glasses show some wear, it means they are quite to very old and possibly quite to very valuable.
    Some ceramic and porcelain tankard will show a picture at the bottom if you point the bottom at a light and look inside it. These are quite rare and often very valuable.

    Sometimes older "smalls", little knick knacks from Japan can be worth something. If you find things marked Occupied Japan they could be very collectable. I have a silver bracelet dated in the 1940s from Italy that was in a vintage sewing box that I paid $3 for at an estate sale in Alabama. I'm new to your channel and look forward to seeing more videos.

    Don't forget - with those old TVs, if all else, take them apart for the copper coils, etc. in them. Turn them in to the metal places that take in old metal stuff. The copper is worth money. The same with old electrical cords - they're worth more money if you strip the covering from wires for the metal, you don't get as much for 'dirty' wires.

If this piece weighs 2 lb it will be worth more than $400. You can just take it straight to the golden silver place in your area that one piece could pay for your whole locker.

I have a set that was my moms from the 1930’s. I dont know much about watches either but a friend once told me he collected them if it had a jeweled mechanism in them. I’m not sure what that means but you might want to check it out.
