You may not find tons of bargains, but there's sleepers and people discounting, and there's also the nice aspect of not having to look past booths full of baby clothes and broken down electronics to find the old stuff

Hi Stephanie! Hall China made dozens of teapot varieties and a lot of colors and finishes. Hope you can join me for an open challenge to show a room where you use vintage and thrifted items every day and talk about your collections, I’ll post about it soon
This place is great, I love it. I liked the uranium vases quite a bit, I find it interesting that in today's world everyone is crying about the lead in the paint, uranium in the kitchen wares and how bad it is for their health. But as a child of the 60's I grew up with all that stuff and survived drinking out of the hose in the yard. lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
Hi George, love your videos. You know your stuff well! Looking at Renninger's brought back lots of old memories. Back in the early 80s I used to do all 3 of extravaganzas. They were awesome back then and with so much great stuff and usually 1500-2000 dealers. I don't do shows anymore but run a shop on Etsy.
@@TheAntiqueNomad We used to go to Renninger's once a month with an empty car and buy clocks until the car was stuffed! Loved the Extravaganza's! And the root beer shaved ice!
Absolutely! If it's not damaged, it's actually best preserved by hanging in a place without direct sunlight. If you have to store it, contact a quilt shop and ask for acid-free storage paper...don't store in plastic, fabric needs to breathe
Whatttt??! Cannot believe you just gave a lesson on the lady head prints ( nagal ) I had one very similar to that one in the 90s . Not sure what became of it but I was recently trying to refind it and see if they were still around. And just to learn more Abt them. Funny to find this .
Hello and thank you for watching and subscribing! Please tell your friends. I’ve been to Hamilton once and really enjoyed the War of 1812 sites and other historic places
My high school parking lot in 1970 actually had a couple of student driven Studebakers and yes, Karmann Ghias, Nash, Ramblers, and the Classic VWs. It wasn’t about being classic car driven, it was about affordability and easy to work on and keep on the road. My 65’ Chevy Bel Air cost $500, much less than the insurance for a male teenage driver’s yearly premium.
That's right, I bought my first Lark in college because it was cheap and economical I think I paid $800. It was already old enough to be a 'classic' (25+ years) then!
Paisley shawls are interesting They were wool shawls produced in and around the town of Paisley in Scotland and then the Indian export market started up (part of the British Empire) They copied the designs and produced things much more cheaply, basically undercutting the work produced in Paisley causing severe unemployment . Queen Victoria was touched by the plight of the Paisley workers and showed her support by always wearing Paisley produced shawls - and so of course they became popular and highly fashionable
That's great information! I love sharing my knowledge because it encourages people like you to teach me more. This was an explanation of the popularity of Paisley shawls I never had heard but will commit to memory.
To elaborate slightly, the motif did come from Iran originally and exports to the U.K. with the design came to the U.K. from Kashmir of high quality shawls, but the weavers in Paisley caught on to the design and individual weavers in their homes started producing shawls initially. As demand increased they banded together to improve production and shawls were produced there for approx 50 years. Some say that there were many reasons for the demise of the popularity of the design. Cheap imports of cotton rather than wool shawls, the Franco Prussian war interrupted imports from Kashmir , and that fashions changed and that it didn’t drape as well over a bussell. But the documentary I saw dealt with cheap imports and Victoria’s support
What fascinating history I am learning along the way with you George! I've heard of passover cabinets, but never knew what they were exactly! Wow! Thank you for this!
@@TheAntiqueNomad yes that is something that you wouldn't want backed onto a wall hiding the history and all it's secrets it must have on the other side of those doors! Oh what a history it has!
George, outstanding information on the pieces at the fair. Really enjoy you. So many things to see besides the items you’re speaking about. Thank you for the video. Be safe Mr. George. 👍🏻😊
Thanks! I might go back if we start to run low in material and voice over old videos pointing out different stuff. I’ve got plenty more new footage in the meantime so see you again this week!
@@TheAntiqueNomad That is great! With people like you keeping the interest going, things still "feel" normal, and can pick up where they left off, after all this...stuff...is passed. With your knowledge, you are definitely in a position to really keep the interest going. I know you get a lot of this, but Thank You!!!, for everything you do. You may not even quite grasp just how important it actually is.
Agreed, for too long RUclips videos have clued thrift stores in on the value of items so now you pay more, or the items are going online where everyone can bid against you. I choose to go to antique malls where many are willing to give you a discount if you are a repeat customer. The great finds are now at the antique malls or large antique stores.
I know Cindy Smotherman and love their shop in New Harmony. I have bought from her and attended her estste sales. I live close to Riverside Antique Mall in Eville In. So I was happy to see your video done there. Thank you and I love your videos!
I was supposed to be the appraiser at New Harmony's annual show this weekend, but it's cancelled. Next year, I hope! Cindy and her husband were very nice when I visited, I met them through Periscope but need to go do a RUclips of that town
Prices can fluctuate between similar items because of minor differences that might be hard to tell without study. We had an estate sale with a book that in blue cover was worth $10 but in orange $500, for example. It can also be that circumstances were different, I sold a Treasure Craft pitcher once for $140 that usually only goes for $50 on eBay, just because two people needed it in time for Thanksgiving. The next week, the next one sold for $51 again.
Wow 1 more comment should have finished the video before I posted I just 💲old 70s leather fringe coat $98 I know it was from then a family members .❤ luv your channel thx
Oh thanks I have a lot of fun! I’ve found Kay Finch at Value Village (that’s what they call Savers stores in the northwest) on occasion too, not everyone realizes she was so well regarded
Oh How I wish i Would saved my Nagels, 🖼🎨 I had the hip cool house back then I Was born in June 1960 and my 1st daughter 1978 NO Goose with the Yellow bow in my house...👎👎👎 My favorite design scheme is art deco,Hope You come to PDX someday luv to meet you I am a reseller in PDX Keep it Weird!!!

That's great! I plan to be there to do July Portland expo show and to do an estate sale for a friend who's retiring in Portland. Just have to wait this out
What would you say the brass table outside is worth? Way back when- we had one and sold it at a yard sale and now regret it💔 We sold it for I think $30
Hi there! The big ones go for around $135 now where I sell. I used to pass them up but I’ve gained new appreciation because they’re great for storing and then using portably as needed
I just saw u on a yr old video, Thrifting Vegas, with Tiffany. Fun !!
Great video George! ❤
Hi George, thanks again for informative , entertaining your
🤗💕💕💕
Love seeing the unusual
Me too, and wasn't that slave hiding cabinet something?
found you via the Crazy Lamp Lady and really enjoyed it
Welcome aboard! I'm so glad she mentioned me, there's a fun video in my playlist about when she came to the Springfield Antique Show and we met
Fantastic!!!!
Oh boy do I ever want that fringe jacket! That Hollywood regency etagere is really neat!
That Art Deco lamp was Da Bomb .
Tea for 2 -1 is tea and 1 is coffee. U can tell from where the spouts are.
Makes sense! I suffer from being a non-coffee drinker.
Thank you for encouraging antique malls. I always pass those up assuming it is too expensive.
You may not find tons of bargains, but there's sleepers and people discounting, and there's also the nice aspect of not having to look past booths full of baby clothes and broken down electronics to find the old stuff
May Sir God always bless you !

George, are paisley shawls worth preserving? And if so how should I do it ?I have my great great grandmother’s from Scotland.
Absolutely! If it's not damaged, it's actually best preserved by hanging in a place without direct sunlight. If you have to store it, contact a quilt shop and ask for acid-free storage paper...don't store in plastic, fabric needs to breathe
New subscriber from St. Pete. You said you have a shop here. Where is it? I’m enjoying your videos and learning a lot!
That's great! I love St. Pete. I sell at Vintage Modern St. Pete, Antique Galleries and Andrea & Friends
That double teapot set could well have had hot water in the one with the shorter spout, used to top up the tea in the other teapot
You are correct! I think that was exactly the thing
Whatttt??! Cannot believe you just gave a lesson on the lady head prints ( nagal ) I had one very similar to that one in the 90s . Not sure what became of it but I was recently trying to refind it and see if they were still around. And just to learn more Abt them. Funny to find this .

That’s great! I hope you have fun watching, please tell your friends and let’s grow the Antique and vintage community!
What fascinating history I am learning along the way with you George! I've heard of passover cabinets, but never knew what they were exactly! Wow! Thank you for this!
I was frankly stunned to see that piece for sale anywhere, I presumed they were all museum items by now.
@@TheAntiqueNomad yes that is something that you wouldn't want backed onto a wall hiding the history and all it's secrets it must have on the other side of those doors! Oh what a history it has!
Thanks so much for the tour, George! Always a joy to watch!
I'm so glad! More to come next week
Loved your vid George. Passover cupboard so interesting. Good too when people spoke a little about their items. Glenda .....Australia 🦘🐨✨
Yes I hope to let others tell us more. What an unusual piece that was!
George, that 60s blue art glass piece reminds me of the Olympic torch/flame. Thanks once again for a great tour!
Thank you! I like the flame-like twists also
The two teapots, were 1 teapot and the other was for hot W waster, see the shorter spout
Jacqui Liddell that’s correct, I didn’t really elaborate on that but you’re correct! Some people were still using loose tea leaf infused with water
George, outstanding information on the pieces at the fair. Really enjoy you. So many things to see besides the items you’re speaking about. Thank you for the video. Be safe Mr. George. 👍🏻😊
Thanks! I might go back if we start to run low in material and voice over old videos pointing out different stuff. I’ve got plenty more new footage in the meantime so see you again this week!
It almost seems like it's a requirement for every antique mall to have a brown suede fringed coat. Nearly every one I've ever visited has had one.
Lol yes, the 1970s left them behind
Really look forward to these every week!!! Some really super items there! As usual, a ton if information, too. Super-cool!!!
I'm glad it was fun for you! I want everyone to at least vicariously enjoy antique shows until they return

@@TheAntiqueNomad It definitely helps!!! It gives everyone something to look forward to every week. Also, it is meaningful, and that is worth a lot.
I find better deals, for reselling and collecting, at antique malls than I do thrift stores. 👍🏾
I find better things to resell at antique malls than thrift stores, you may pay more but a certain amount of the junk is already filtered out

How is it that some collectibles sell for such high prices at auction and others by the same do not?

The city that I grew up in was shortened on mail to KKK and then to K3
What city is that? Interesting
@@TheAntiqueNomad Kankakee IL. I believe the railroad suffix was KKK as well, but now it is KKI
@@TheAntiqueNomad the only current example I can see online is about the Kankakee river (KKK RIVER)
Cara Heather It makes sense, that acronym wouldn’t have had such a strong association with the racist organization in that era
I just found my first Kay Finch owl a couple weeks ago at Savers! Love all the California pottery they had. And I really loved all your purchases!
