Thrifted Antique & Vintage Finds Appraise for Big Bucks!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 кві 2024
- "It was at Value Village for $3.99..." "We found it in an old car"..."They rolled the cart out at Goodwill and there it was!" These are the fun stories that go along with a bunch of really cool vintage items people are bringing to today's appraisal fair at Lander Street Vintage, the premiere antique mall in Seattle, Washington. Will these thrifted and gifted goodies prove to be real treasures?
We find out in this video, where everything from a Brazilian tapir carving to a Tiffany ring cross our appraisal desk! Hand-painted Japanese porcelain to MCM Murano bowls, Northwest serigraphs to Navajo jewelry, the items brought by collectors to this event are fun to see and explore in depth as they challenge us to uncover their origins in the distant past.
Along the way, we get to show people how to learn more, from where to find Old Pawn jewelry marks to how to loupe a signature to see if it's real; we try to decide if a Victorian mercury glass piece is complete, or not all there; and we distinguish a newer cast iron mechanical bank from its Victorian counterparts. Our goal is to help our viewers and our appraisal fair attendees have more fun with their finds, and understand better what gives them value to today's collectors!
We're pleased to do these fairs all around the country, so watch the Community Tab on The Antique Nomad home page on UA-cam AND subscribe to my Shorts channel to keep up with events coming to your area, too.

George is a walking encyclopedia. I’m amazed at his knowledge. He is also very nice & takes the time to answer questions from his viewers
I think you will agree, George is one of a kind !
Wild George is absolutely awesome.❤😊❤😊❤
100%! I could listen all day!
He sure is
He is a gentleman and this is rare today...ha...he's as rare as the antiques he loves! Thank you for sharing your knowledge George. I've learned so much from you. God Bless!
I have to tell you how much I appreciate your approach to buying at estate sales, malls , thrift stores, flea markets. You tell us what to look for and a history of the pieces and fair pricing! I click on others and they are dingbats! They don't know anything and just quickly pan over items and miss all the good things people would be interested in seeing.I love it when you go to estate sales!!!
Love this educational channel. George is definitely a great teacher. My house looks like a museum. I always say I don't decorate: I curate. This channel speaks to me and my way of living.
Hey George, I’m junkin granny’s sister who turned her on to Native American everything! It was so good seeing her talking with you, I haven’t seen her in some time. She lives in Washington and I live Florida so…
I adore your appraisal videos, I learn so much!
Just wanted to say hi!
Hey sis!! Wish you had been there with me!! When he’s back in FL you’ll have to track him down!! Bought a really AnnMarie Davidson enameled copper plate with a Kachina on it !! 🥰 His booth was great and the Lander Street Vintage store was amazing!!! Could have spent days and lots of $$… 😬
@@GrannysGarage333
Wish I could have been there too!
Thank you for sharing the appraisal-day information with us. We learn so very much from you! You are kind, and really take the time to connect with each person that brings you their treasures.
I wish you had more of these I so enjoyed it.
Good evening, George. Love these appraisals! That painting, in the old frame, found in a crawl space, was interesting. I keep thinking I've seen that painting somewhere. The Tiffany wedding ring set was a great find, and in a car seat, no less. I would've guessed the mercury glass enameled piece would've been a base that a brass oil lamp font would went into, but had been long removed. That was interesting information on that piece. It's always so interesting to see what people bring to be appraised. Thanks for letting us in on the action!
Thanks! I have fun doing them for certain. The painting seems like a copy of a famous painting from the era by a California artist I can't recall. I was so torn on whether the mercury glass base held an oil lamp, it seems like a 50/50 possibility still. I always enjoy seeing what people find!
Yes, they are wonderful stories to hear!
@@TheAntiqueNomad If that was the base to an oil lamp, it would've likely had a spider and a matching mercury glass shade that sat on it. Either way, it was a beautiful piece!
@@TheAntiqueNomad So you've already been to Spokane ???
That pale pink Murano piece was just lovely! Great vid George!
Thank you George for doing these types of things and inviting all of us to watch you. I’m learning so much from you about glass and antiques and I really appreciate your knowledge and you sharing it with all of us. I love the fact that you go all over the United States, and try to help as many people as you can identify their treasures. Thank you for helping me out with a couple of my treasures. I really appreciate it. You continue to do what you do and I promise you I will be watching your videos and learning all I can about the antiques that I have and learning about other antiques. Thank you so much again. KAT from Birmingham, Alabama.
Great video! I do have to say though I was distracted by the lady in the background that was taking a picture of you while you were discussing those Harvest Gold cats! She was quite the character!😅
Love the crawl space and found in the car stories !!
That was certainly an eclectic assortment. Very interesting!
George's videos are always interesting. Hi everyone
Hi Judy
Thank you, Judy! It helps when people bring interesting things
Hi!😃
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I appreciate how kind you are with each person. Your ability to teach and connect is a rare gift, and we are all very lucky to benefit from it.
I just adore you George. I learn so much from you!!
Me too, hope we are all sharing George's video with someone who may not have had chance to subscribe yet 🎉
Love the appraisal videos!
So glad! I love seeing what people bring
WOW did not realize they made a 2 1/2 gold dollar that was new to me. I haven't seen anyone dig one with the metal detector. That gold mercury enameled glass was cool and beautiful. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day with safe travels
Very interesting appraisals, thank you George!
I’m excited to see this!!!
Me too!
We just love these appraisal fair videos to see what others find. Thank you, George!🩷

Hey George 🤗
I do love your appraisal shows.
I did enjoy this video very much!
Thank you for graciously sharing your knowledge George. It was so helpful and kind of you to show the woman how to tell a printed signature from an original signature. Also the Murano piece was a gorgeous shade of pink and fun to see.
George, your knowledge of antiques is amazing. It is very clear that you love what you do and how excited you get when looking at treasures. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ❤😊
I love the exhibition prints too.
Seems like they're growing in popularity

George,
You are amazing! I have learned so much from your videos .
Also, listening to you speak it is not only informative but also relaxing.
“Love your name as I mentioned to you ones before my husband and son names are George.
Thank You we enjoyed the video.
Arrivederci!
Very interesting 😊
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe the mercury glass piece was an urn that someone used as a vase. Love all the appraisals - I prefer to see the people too, not just the items! I don't know why, lol
Great information!
This video was fantastic. Thanks for sharing your appraisals with us
Great video. I like that you ask the price paid. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. ❤ JoAnn
I learn so much from your videos . I’m very greatful !
love the appraise style.
That was a good thing to know thank you George about the glue
Thank you for so Sharing your appraisal. I learn so much. Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Healthy Have A Wonderful Day
Really enjoyable video, George. I’m up on the coast in Canada and I wish I paid more attention to your schedule! Oh well next time!
That is gorgeous
I'd love to see the rosewood desk where you're sitting. I keep all of my Murano bowls. Well worth more to me than their market value. Sometimes things won't sell for what they're really worth, and that's unfortunate. I couldn't spend that same money on something I want more, so they're in my collection.
Hola George 🖐️ Que guapo te vez Amigo! 😎 I ❤ appraisal videos. So much fun.
Oh lovely to see folks say "nice to see you in person" I can totally relate 🤩
George...ty for the education!! Love your videos!!
Me too, 😊
Can't wait for this to start
Hi Miss Wildlife
George, as I watch the play back, I am curious about your working at the zoo. I must have been chatting 😂 when u mentioned that.
Especially loved the stories behind the pieces. What power magnification is the loupe you are using? I was amazed at what you were able to read with it.
Love the cats- also a cat collector 😻
Interesting mix at this one🖤🇨🇦
Yay!!!😍
😊
@@janetpogue4970 Hi Janet!😍
Those cast iron columns are phenomenal. Would love to have them
Great info
Sorry I missed the Premier. Now I want to hear about you working at the zoo!
Notice 178 views and 176 👍 great start to the Likes. 🎉
Hi George, I love your show and respect your knowlege. Wish I knew half as much! So interested in the Goodwill find "container." Because I'm a florist I feel the proportion of this piece is too short to be made for an arrangement, and "something" is missing. (like you said!) I also think that's the reason the girl is not able to identify it on line. That floral putty would have been used recently and not revealing it's original purpose. Wow, I want to go to her Goodwill! Nice going on dating it! It must have come from an estate. Very pretty.
Floral putty is for silk flowers or to hold an additional piece. If the intended use was real flowers it has no liner.
Hi from uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Visit the Factory Antique Mall in Verona, VA!!
Hey guys ..what's that quote he says ..in reselling you better have the best one ,the only one or .... ? I cannot remember and I want to pass it along.great motto
Bisbee blue turquoise??, i live in southern Arizona the ring reminds me of Bisbee Blue.
Sir Francis Drake inspects a relic… 😚❤️
Do you share George's videos, Poodle ?
@@janetpogue4970 I do tell my vintage friends about him and sing his praises 🥰
Lol a little Drake-ian profile, yes
I think the silver dollars are worth a lot more than $65 each, because of their condition!
🙌💕
✨💖✨
Hi George. I have a piece of jewelry that a friend gifted me before she died. I live in Southern Oregon. Where do I take jewelry to get appraised? Can any jeweler do it? Or do I need to look for someone special? It’s an old pawn squash blossom necklace with tons of turquoise but I can’t find a silver marking on it
😍❤️🙏🙏
HOW DOES NOMAD KNOW EVERYTHING....??
I think he must have a photographic memory
And he is so inquisitive and open to ideas!
Hi George, I would like to invite you to my thrift store. It's in Lewisburg KY, very close to you. Maggie's Finds is right on 431, next to Gowers Drugs. Open Mon-Fri 11-6, Sat 11-4. Hope to see you!
Smart man . Marry me
Lol Awww
Crimeny, what is on her face?? Should have stayed home since sick, how rude!
Why would anyone feel comfortable buying that racist 'Jolly N..' bank. For profit or not, that's inappropriate 😖
Why would anybody see the Colliseum?
Yes, both of you are right, in my value system
Chat gdp upload a photo and ask it what it is etc. the info is incredible and very accurate. Of course it doesn’t have 100% info and of course get an expert if in doubt!!
