My son was a missionary in Haiti for five years! I’ve got a cute jewelry box from there and a manger scene that was hand carved! The deforestation was a tragic! When I visited there, I was shocked at how horrible the poverty is. I knew it was terrible, but knowing it and then seeing it is two different things. I will never forget it.
Oh, very interesting! I'm glad you still have that, with all the problems over there not much has remained of old Haiti. It is so tragic how badly mismanaged their nation has been...in part because of outside influences...
Hi George, I remembered when our grocery store came out with generic food labels. The labels were in black & white with a very simple font. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Hi George and Xeno! I'm really enjoying these extra little videos. I remember having the split veggie dish as it was called in our home. Always had to serve 2 different colored vegetables to keep meals appealing to the eye. My Mom would never serve a one color meals if we had plain chicken and potatoes, the veggies had to be green and orange because yellow was to similar. 😂 I still keep colorful meals in my home today 😊
Thanks! We do extras on occasion and these were fun for us. Had to have a green and a "yellow" vegetable (mom didn't like it when we pointed out the carrots were orange) with every meal. Colorful meals help us live longer! (Unless it's a steady diet of Spumoni ice cream)
@8:30 ooh cool, I have the matching Sunbeam toaster with the Worlds Fair design. It's the wonderful kind of toaster that slowly lowers the bread and then raises it back out when it's done instead of launching it into orbit. I don't even eat bread but I'm keeping it to document the decline of civilization. 😅
If you look at the old historic photographs of the Indian chiefs, you will notice furs with the heads on them as part their regalia. I was commissioned to paint a color portrait of the native American chief Medicine Crow. It was quite a challenge from an old black-and-white photo.
Love the vintage ice buckets I have my grandparents buckets from both sides, one is gold tone with lucite handle and the other is black pleather with chrome handle
Taxidermy and old fox stoles just creep me out, maybe because I am an animal lover. Love Pyrex, just a little spendy for me right now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Understood, I don't favor new fur but I also don't want what's left of the beautiful old creatures who gave their lives for this to be thrown away (especially because it might persuade someone not to look for a new one)
I liked that "Silver Fade" carafe set, with the holder. It has a smaller footprint, so it wouldn't take as much space to display, and it fits right in with my beverage sets collection. I'd like to have a Hocking "Rings" beverage set, from the 1930s, with no ice lips...just no space for it. Fun video with interesting items!
I like glass sets in holders a lot, I always envisioned having a large enough space to have a party with them! I do really like the pattern sets too, for being so widespread when new, I don’t often get them in good shape anymore
Those "Rings" sets were bad to lose paint where lemonade would run down the front of the pitcher, under the spout. It's almost impossible to find one that doesn't have some paint loss there. For me, that wouldn't be a big issue, though...it's kind of expected. It's like trying to find a piece of Fenton "Orange Tree", with the four feet, that doesn't have, at least, one chip on it. The old cast iron sinks weren't very forgiving to those feet. Chips, on those, are expected. Those feet are one reason Fenton never reintroduced the table, water and berry sets, in the "Orange Tree" pattern. @@TheAntiqueNomad
I’m gonna have to get a penguin ice bucket one day. 🤣 I do like the blue green drip glaze hobbiest horse. I saw an antler chandelier which made me nostalgic for my married years in the mountains of Utah and Wyoming. This store seemed to have a good variety of interesting merchandise and I really enjoyed you showing it to us!!! 👏👏💚💚💚🙏
I have decided I have to have one too! I have seen Laura and other joke about finding them so much that I want to get one! They should start a game and see who finds the most in a years time!
This was another fantastic video as always! I never cease to be amazed at the incredible knowledge you have of so many things! Even if there are things, I did not collect it does not matter I enjoyed learning about them! I enjoy seeing things are familiar with! Zeno I’m so thankful for you doing the filming! It makes for a great video to be able to see Jorge discussing and pointing out things! You are invaluable to Jorge! I’m trying to get my channel going, and wished I had someone to help me film!
Sorry Xeno! Siri always translates you to Zeno and George to Jorge. I should check better before I hit send. She also translates words wrong and I don’t catch it. I think Siri doesn’t get my Texas accent! Lol!
Wild George, you are great. I am so glad you are so knowledgeable about all this stuff. It really really isn't enjoyable? I look forward to videos all of them.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for explaining vintage items! Do you have any chance to put the caption for each item name you show to us? I put the subtitle, but sometimes it is wrong spelling. I need it to search for eBay.
Funny because now that ice buckets are in, I don't pick them up anymore. I just couldn't sell them for much. I actually did better on vintage coolers. The plastic inside the ice buckets tend to stink.
It's interesting to hear that, I am cautious about the plastic ones I buy as well. Offgassing and chemical issues with plastics are real, so hopefully people are judicious about whether and how they use vintage pieces.
The West Bend Penguins were a pre-WWII design not produced until 1948 , and they kept producing it. A lot of it. The Haitian wood pieces... Haiti is half of Hispaniola. The other half is the Dominican Republic. They didn't cut down their trees and the country is in far better shape. Probably a chicken and egg scenario, but there it is.
I was married in 1972 when avocado was big! I didn’t like it then, and I still think that the only place avocado belongs is in a salad I like all the colors of Pyrex, except the avocado!
Please address vintage beer cans in a show sometime. I see you occasionally have them on your display tables but haven’t seen them discussed yet. I’m new to your channel on UA-cam so you may have addressed these already. Thanks
Hmmm that's interesting, I saw something that was 3 times what I paid but not 8 times. I'll have to rewatch, Xeno usually does the thumbnails and captions and so I'm not sure what he heard that we didn't!
I honestly don't! At least, not as I think of what that means. I assume people with that kind of memory just see the original document in their mind...I do it all by rote memorization
Lol that's funny and mostly true! I am so used to working with someone as a team over the course of my career that I say "we" reflexively. I want to be sure everyone gets credit I guess!

Oh gosh, in the 70's, we were given 4 diffent vinyl ice buckets.
Hi George, I remembered when our grocery store came out with generic food labels. The labels were in black & white with a very simple font. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Yes I think the late 70s as I recall
Nice video to Share with a friend who doesn't know about George yet.

My Mom would never serve a one color meals if we had plain chicken and potatoes, the veggies had to be green and orange because yellow was to similar. 😂 I still keep colorful meals in my home today 😊
My Mom always had two vegetables on the table and indeed the color was important.
My mom had one too and wouldn't let me have it then when my daughter moved out she gave it to her! I know which one of us she likes best, lol!

@@TheAntiqueNomad I hadn't thought about spumoni, but Sam like the mint chocolate chip that's green. 😋
I always like the KY shops and antique malls.

Congrats on 50k+ subscribers George. Onward to 100k...you deserve every success as a true educator. Thank you!
Thanks a million!
This is why I love watching you..I am always learning from you and it's FUN❤❤❤ Thank you
Thank you! Fun is the name of the game

Yes that's a good point! We like to show them in elaborate feathered headdresses. which were seldom worn and not by most tribes
I love these videos ❤! It's like a course in Antiqueology!
Thanks! We’ll keep digging

Cool!!
I'd love the panther one!
My hubby and I really enjoy your work! We learn a lot! My son and his wife and my daughter have begun to watch you as well!❤
Awesome! Thank you! I hope to keep bringing you fun and new old things to see
George, you are a wonderful human being. I am so happy you were born!
Aww thanks! So am I lol

I recently saw a Hazel Atlas bar set....cocktail shaker, glasses and ice bucket with a POLAR BEAR pattern. Coincidentally, it was in Toronto.
That's a hard set to find!
Loved the video. I like the shorter videos because anything over 20-30 minutes takes me a couple of watches to complete. JoAnn
Your channel came up in suggestions and let me tell ya this has made my day❤ love it I will be watching new and old videos .thank you for sharing❤
Welcome!! Please like, subscribe and tell your friends, we have a lot of fun and information to share here!
Always enjoy watching you. You are so stinkin' SMART!
What a great antique mall and i really enjoy learning about pieces.
Hehe, I used to have the penguin ice bucket. Some boxes got lost during a move from Ohio to Largo Fl. 😢
That was like walking through my childhood, thank you so much ❤ California
Hello George , Felix from nj. Glad to have met you. Take care of yourself. You are a cool guy and your videos are getting better and better
George, you're so adorable! I love your videos and the wealth of information you share....thank you!
Thanks for the tour, George.✌️
Well now I know why they made divided pyrex. Great video George. I learned a lot of things but I had always wondered why they made divided pyrex.
Very good! It was a different time but it's pretty logical really

I agree about the antler chandeliers making me miss the West! I have had a Penguin cooler since I started collecting and I use it, too
I found a copper tone penguin ice bucket / warmer at a thrift store in Toronto Canada. I’ve never seen the copper colored ones before!
Definitely harder to find, think it was a thing when war restrictions limited chrome during the early 1950s
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you for this info, I appreciate your knowledge!
I recently saw a copper one in an antique shop. First for me….
Always happy to keep learning from you George! Xeno your filming skills are amazing! Safe travels❤️👍❤️
I really appreciate when he films
I’m a sucker for bar ware and I don’t even drink!😅
Me too! I hardly use it but I think it's fun
What a lot of great information great video as always
I thought Dorothy Thorpe did not do the fade. Did that set have her mark? Any suggestions on spotting the real thing? Thank you for sharing.
Dorothy Thorpe? Omgoodness, I’ve heard this isnt DT? Please help George…have some I’m ready to sell and want to be sure…. Thank you so much…..
You are correct, I learned that after the fact!
The red vinyl clock may have been one of mine.."Vinyl Designs".. that would be fun if it was
Thanks
I love your videos. Thank you for such a good education on things 😊
There will come a day I grab myself a penguin bucket!
Really well curated spaces and great info, thank you George!
I do like that mall!

I like Jorge! It is so nice when Xeno can film.
Your videos are really a joy to watch. I also am learning too.
Happy to hear that! I want them to be fun and also to help people remember what's cool about this stuff
Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!
I am so grateful to you for teaching us all so much!
I wholeheartedly agree!!!
You are so welcome! I try to share what I can.
That was a great price on the percolator set!
I really enjoy your content. I hope one day to shake your hand! Love from Montreal,Qc
Thanks George!! Your expertise is like gold !! ❤
Fun video. I have a Georges Briard ice bucket right now!
Wild George, you are great. I am so glad you are so knowledgeable about all this stuff. It really really isn't enjoyable? I look forward to videos all of them.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great video as always George.
Ahh Christmas 🎁 I'm so excited to get shopping ❤
Thank you for explaining vintage items! Do you have any chance to put the caption for each item name you show to us? I put the subtitle, but sometimes it is wrong spelling. I need it to search for eBay.
I can't always include them, but will try to spell out more complicated ones in the future
I’m confused I didn’t realize Dorothy Thorpe did the fade I thought hers were a defined silver band?
Love it! Ty, George!❤❤❤
Great video, so informative
I saw a blendo pitcher!
I have goose berry in perfect condition
George, I’m curious if the Haitian wooden carved pot with the cracked footing could be repaired? Thanks in advance.
Funny because now that ice buckets are in, I don't pick them up anymore. I just couldn't sell them for much. I actually did better on vintage coolers. The plastic inside the ice buckets tend to stink.
So sad! I love using my ice bucket when having a dinner with friends and family!
@@yvonnesangster2934 What exactly is sad? That the plastic tends to off-gas? Same reason I stay away from vintage Tupperware.
I just meant it sad they don’t use them. Mine is metal on the inside, no plastic no stink
@@yvonnesangster2934 Ah yes, metal on the interior is great, but a lot of them are plastic.

Oh George, your hats…My cousin was a jockey. He’s about 5’1”, and in his prime might have been 115 lbs. Cute Antique Mall.
Fun place! My mom met Willie Shoemaker, I remember as a kid thinking it'd be fun to be a jockey but my dad said I would get too big
Brothel Lol🤣 I have a George Briard Ice bucket, but it smells like old man BO no matter what I try! Lol Not vintage funky....distinctly BO!!!
Oh no! That is a problem sometimes when old plastics degrade. Not much you can do about sick plastics
Please address vintage beer cans in a show sometime. I see you occasionally have them on your display tables but haven’t seen them discussed yet. I’m new to your channel on UA-cam so you may have addressed these already. Thanks

Nice little video
Thanks!
6:07 😆
Lol we are everywhere
@@TheAntiqueNomad 😂 sounds like a line from a horror film.
Burnt orange! My mother did her whole dining room in burnt orange. Horrible!
LOL
Yep! My mom had a lot too. A late 60s and early 70’s thing ….
Orange can be great, but you really have to balance it...the 70's were more about orange-on orange-on orange
Hi George
What is the item that is "Eight times what you paid"?? Can't seem to identify it in this video
Hmmm that's interesting, I saw something that was 3 times what I paid but not 8 times. I'll have to rewatch, Xeno usually does the thumbnails and captions and so I'm not sure what he heard that we didn't!
Perfect hat 😂
Sign sign everywhere sign
Do you have a photographic memory?
He's the *antique* nomad, so he probably has a phonographic memory.
I think he does! The details are amazing!
I honestly don't! At least, not as I think of what that means. I assume people with that kind of memory just see the original document in their mind...I do it all by rote memorization
Thank you
We had awful kitchen carpet. Olive green and burnt orange. My mom painted our fridge brown w the edges accented darker brown. Hideous
😂 oh lawd, we had that kind of fridge when I was a kid.
Sign,sign,everywhere a sign, blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind …
Do this
Don't do that
Can't you read the sign?
😂 😂 2 feet shorter to be a jockey 😊
That's not Dorothy Thorpe that's queens ware
