You had me laughing the two guys cursing each other out. You go look at the guy and his dog picture! I love how you dont miss a beat. Thanks for taking us along!
Wow that escalated fast! I absolutely loathe thieves. People just trying to make a living and someone comes along and thinks the world owes them! Hope you are well Renee. Oh, and I loved the curse bleeper 😂😂
I’m so lame, I didn’t realize that horn sound was a curse bleeper. Thanks for pointing it out I just thought some kid found a horn in one of the bins 😂😂😂
It seems my clown horn confused some people, haha :0) UA-cam sound effects doesn't have the usual bleep noise, so that was the next best thing. Hey, it was like being at the circus the way some people were acting!
Absolutely, some people think that stealing from retail (of any kind) is a victimless crime, of course it isn’t, especially if you are a one man band or a couple just trying to earn a crust. On the street market where we have a stall we often see the same people every week and there is one guy who is well noted for having the occasional ‘sticky fingers episode’ so his face is known by all the traders and any newbies are told to watch out for him.
That Firestone Christmas album! When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for those to be released. Some of my great Christmqas memories are from playing those records.
Don't ever steal from the Tote man, or anyone, for that matter. Love the big catalog and all of the magazines. So many neat things to see and to read about. The picture with the man and his dog is fantastic. You did well today. Wouldn't it be nice if the weather would stay mild for a few more weeks? Good hunt.
You get the best stuff from the Tote Man! The photo of the man & his dog is amazing. That alone was worth the trip to the flea market. I had the same Cabbage Patch Kids sheets back in the 80s. I talked my mom into wall-to-wall pink carpet to match the Cabbage Patch motif I had going on. It was an eyesore, but I thought it was beautiful. Thanks for the fun trip down memory lane. Watching you treasure hunt for vintage goodies is always a blast!
Hi Renee...Is that "Mr Personality" button for me? hehe...the ToteMan brought a kitchen sink to the flea market, but it didn't sell because it was all washed up! 🤣....lots of excitement at the flea market today. A thief was caught red handed today stealing some aluminum. He was embarrassed cause his plan was foiled!......You don't tug on Superman's cape, You don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger, and you don't mess with ToteMan's stuff!
Someone was handy with a horn! 😄. I first thought you were honking out your own talking, then realized what was happening away from you. Glad your all safe and you got some more items. I enjoy looking through those old reprinted catalogs and seeing the things "new" back when. 👍👍
Can you imagine the muscles you would get if you ironed with that sad iron?💪🤣 The old picture with the dog and man is pretty wonderful! Glad you found two boxes of paper!
Another great dig at the tote couples place. 😅 love it so. So sad someone thought they could just steal from a vendor. It probably happens a lot. 😢 Well, you did very well again. I loved the clown horn! That fit that guy to a T. Anyway, at least he got caught. I would love to go through all the old magazines. How very exciting that would be. I love you! Stay safe, healthy, and blessed. 😘💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌️❤️
Back when I'd do picking very often at Goodwill Outlet (bins) when it was $0.99/pound for most stuff and $0.20/pound for certain stuff, there were a few times when people would grab stuff out of my cart. Plus 3 times when they simply took my entire cart and tried checking out. The first time, they succeeded and were gone, having bought what I'd spent 2 or 3 hours picking. From then on, I'd find something ridiculous to put in the child seat part of the cart (big dirty stuffed animal or whatever), and something (preferably a 6ft pool noodle) to stand up like a flag pole from the cart. On the next two attempts, the cart thieves didn't think to ditch the pool noodle first. When I'd see the pool noodle moving, I'd go grab my cart back with a "That's mine." Pretty bad when you need to do that, plus throw a blanket or something over the cart to keep people from picking stuff out from it. At least it showed that the disreputable pickers had figured out which of the reputable pickers did a good enough job that they were willing to pay for 20 or 50 pounds of stuff without going through it, just buying it all for a quick getaway. My general rule there was that, except for certain things, I only picked items which would get 10x what I paid, and a minimum expected selling price of $15. The exceptions to that were things I'd accumulate quantities of, or specialized in, or things I was pretty sure would sell for over $50.
Your bins sounds a bit like my bins, which I don't go to very often. People use the carts but try to cover up their items, put something ridiculous- like you said - on top. The pool noodle is a great idea! If I found anything really good at the bins, I would take what I had found at the time, pay for it, put it in my car, and then come back in.
The man and his dog has a wonderful attraction with it. It is somehow a calming picture. I love it. Always a pleasure to tag along with you. I don’t think that person could handle the Tote Man. 😂
Lovely vintage stuff There Renee - some choice vintage language as well! Good job Krusty was doing his schtick at the same time. Pleased you got the paper, the Snoopy and, thankfully- because I thought you were going to leave it - the religious icon. They are good. Might even be an Andrei Rublev! Hope so…😊
Crikey, things escalting at flea markets, last time it was someone trying to take from you, now a lot of shouting because of a thief, almost scared to watch the next flea market as it might turn into a war!!! You got some nice finds and glad you took Snoopy home 😊
16:18 Beck Bogert Appice album was worth checking date/edition/condition of. Could be $5, could be $50. I was lucky enough to see Jeff Beck in concert twice, maybe 10 or 15 years ago. His mastery of the electric guitar was a full level above anyone else I've seen, and two levels above most rock stars. It didn't even matter whether I liked what he was playing or not, just watching and hearing him play anything, was amazing.
Cool❣️ I love seeing the vintage illustrated magazines and/or ads. That antique iron was nice to see. Who’d a thunk there’d be drama at the Tote Man’s. Oh my. Never a dull moment and always interesting to browse along with you. 👍😍
Strawberry was my favorite! I can't recall ever having the Chocolate. For me, the strawberry milk always tasted better when someone else made it, like they knew exactly how much powder to put in the drink.
@ Chocolate was good, but strawberry was my favourite also, its a shame they stopped selling it, (at least in Canada) the liquid form just doesn’t seem the same. Appreciate the reply
I was there on Sunday and must’ve just missed all of the commotion. I saw something similar happen there with another seller a few weeks ago. You were still there, but I didn’t want to bother you.
Hi Renee. I know you get excited by old photos and letters, but I thought the old SEARS catalog was pretty cool. Can you imagine buying all your clothes and household items from that catalog? I think Sears even offered an actual house, in kit form, from those early catalogs. Another great episode, despite the drama! (Got a kick out of your censor sounds!)
@@Laurie81560 Really? That's pretty cool. If I remember correctly, Sears offered a few different models to choose from. I think they had a Cape Cod, a Ranch-style, and I'm not sure what else. They were very reasonably priced, and they actually delivered it to your building lot on a flat-bed trailer. Did your family order it and have to assemble it? Did you like it?
@@bobhamulak3646 Yes, it was built before I was born. I think my grandparents made payments and it was delivered in several shipments as needed. I have a book about Sears homes. Such an interesting time in history.
@@Laurie81560 HI Laurie. You better not let Renee know you have a book like that. She'll be wanting to know if you are planning on having an estate sale this weekend! (LOL!) ( That's pretty cool that you lived in a 'Sears-home'. It's a shame Sears is out of business. I always thought they had good quality stuff. )
Lol...I WISH I had an original Sears home catalog! I bought a reprint from Amazon. I also miss Sears. I worked there back when every department had a knowledgeable worker and we had to dress up for work. Yes, I am that old. 😀
What fun it is when you rummage through the totes from The totwmans Especially when I can sit in my living room and a blizzard is going on outside Yes we are getting a lot of snow today and coming on Saturday It's hibernating time for me so keep those flea markets coming with the toteman 💖💚💜🇨🇦🦩 Stay Happy 💫✨🌟✨
A blizzard?? Wow! Our temps are set to drop more this weekend, but we are expecting rain and not snow. I do look forward to a nice snow during the winter!
Mr. Tote Man: "Don´t do it again !" ☹ A thrilling start of this show, that´s for sure. And the Tote Man´s inventory never disappoints as well. I would have taken the old iron (around 1900), highly collectible and decorative. Anyways, you made some awesome finds again like the Sears, Roebuck catalogue reprint, the old magazines, the Dead Shot bottle etc.👌 By the way, Renée: honorable postal clerk Joe told me yesterday that another little package from Europe arrived yesterday and is available for pickup. Kudos to USPS: they just needed two days from Queens distribution center, Kearny distribution center, Phillipsburg P.O. to Bloomsbury P.O. whereas Deutsche Post needed eight (!) days from Hannover to Frankfurt. The rise and decline of a postal system...🤨Have a good one, first snow today over here ! 🌨Greets from GER, U.
First snow day there??? I am a bit jealous, as I do enjoy a nice, peaceful snow. Is it just a dusting or is any accumulation expected? I do wish that I picked up the sad iron for a decorative piece, but alas, perhaps someone else found it & can enjoy it! The postal system is quirky at times. Imagine if we still had to rely on Pony Express?? Thanks for the update on the mail, I'll be getting to the post office either tomorrow or Thursday to pick it up :0)
OMG! I had that Nokia phone too. Ms Butterworth is my favorite syrup and I bet Young Frankenstein is worth more money now that Teri Garr just passed away last week..💜
Just wondering do people help the tote man pack up his stuff at the end of the day??? Can’t imagine having to put it all back! Thanks for sharing another great dig!!
Yay! You bought the Triptych!!! You called it the religious item and you found it in the tote around 2:45. Those are usually so pretty with the picture religious icon themes on the three panels, I have a small one but it's new not old, so yours is quite a find.
The Toteman & lady commenth! Nice scores Rene 💛 I'd love to shop with him, I see so many treasures that I would love to own. ❤ Stay safe there are crazy people everywhere these days 💯
Hello Renee. Well that was a very exciting day with the Toteman and Lady. You found some amazing things and got to watch the drama up close and personal. I really can’t believe that the man had the gull to try and steal from him. What a day you all had. I don’t understand people these days I really don’t . Take care and please stay safe. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🥰🫎🫎☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖🥰🫎🫎💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I was at a flea market and saw a man walk up grab something off the table and just walked on. The vendor was at the other end of the table so I just said loudly that man took something. Did not know what else todo. I was shocked at such behavior.
The illustrations in the Sears Catalog and the Ladies Home Journal are beautiful. Can you imagine how long it took - and how many people - to put out those magazines & catalogues back in the day? All that drawing! The stand-up desk you went by - I know it's not your thing, but they can bring pretty good money in the right condition. That one looked like it had been abused a little. 30 years ago that caned back / seat rocker would have brought a lot of money - now you can't give them away. In 1988 I restored one and gave it to my then girlfriend now wife. I meant to have it done before we left school for winter break but I didn't - so I had to hide all the parts around the dorm with clues. And ... once again we see the flea market as the great leveler - all sorts of people having all sorts of moods / days. Did you buy that Mr. Personality button? I thought you could give it ti the guy if you ever saw him again. Hopefully he's too embarrassed to show his face. Oh well, I shouldn't judge - don't know what he's going through. Nevertheless if I had witnessed that it would have unfortunately soured the trip for me - glad it didn't seem to for you. Thanks for the video & have a great Tuesday!
Yes, the work involved in those illustrations....amazing! They are pieces of art! A friend's mother had an entire career doing sewing pattern illustrations. Her work was absolutely beautiful. Wonder what she would've produced had she lived long enough to pursue a career of her own original artwork.
@ That’s remarkable. I bet she would have been able to sell artistic drawings for a tidy sum if she had been able to- and wanted to - following her career. Im curious if she went to art school or got the job based on raw talent?
Oh, I loved that desk! Tote Man would have had to deliver it to my place, not sure it would have fit in my car. I was thinking how it would be to actually use it as an office desk now and can't quite picture it, especially if using a laptop because of the slant. Still a nice piece! I might have been the next person to be yelled at if I gave that man the Mr. Personality button :0) I understand people do not want others looking in their piles, but it does happen. My guess is things escalated and next thing, the man is making rude comments about a woman who was just trying to get him to calm down a bit. Then it escalated more, and he thought he could get his "revenge" by stealing something. Maybe it was a full moon the night before! I already heard through the grapevine that the Tote Man will not be at the market this upcoming weekend, weather is going to be a bit colder & he is busy with getting even more inventory. I can sleep in that Sunday! Hope that your Tuesday was swell, as they used to say!
Renee, i did not know you loved Jackson Browne like i do! I saw him in Edinburgh and we went to the stage door and met him and i got his autograph on the lyric sheet from Late for the Sky(my favourite album). Seen him since in Manchester and hope to see him next year in the UK.😊
I had a big Jackson Browne phase many years ago, listened to Late for the Sky on repeat for months. Alternated between that & Van Morrison's Moondance. Hopefully you will get to see Jackson Browne again!
That electric iron reminded me of one got on either my birthday or Christmas. Mine came with an ironing board. It was funny because it never got hot enough to actually iron my dolls clothes. Sort of like the Easy Bake oven.
I know exactly what you mean don’t need it but I want it lol that’s how I ended up with a basement full of grandma’s 1940s wardrobe 😂😂 and I can’t even wear any of it. I’m a guy.
Renee, do you ever end up with paper eating bugs hitch-hiking on the old treasures you buy? I once bought a wool felted rug, new, from a crafter, but it must have had wool moths because for a very long time after, I was fighting a battle against them. Another time, I ordered some grocery food from Sweden, but it turned out something in it was infested with weevils and they spread and I had to throw away so much dry goods and pantry items. Thankfully, my bug battles these days are only from the odd few fruit flies from a bunch of bananas. Anyway....It was Thrifting Thursday today and I did manage to get out and I found two more Paul Bonner items and such an amazing Norwegian pewter piece, I can't wait to take pictures this weekend and put the items up for sale. Happy treasure hunting and swift and easy sales to you!
The Baldknobbers is a variety show in Branson Missouri. They have been around for over 60 years. Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! I hope the tote man was able to stop the thief!
The sears book great find I love looking through old catalogs like that to see times gone passed also it would be great to see how much things cost that you buy not just from the toat man but any time you buy things plus how much you sell things for keep the vids coming love them
I find the issue with the shopping carts is that in some areas, there isn't enough room to have it by you/through the rows. I don't want to leave the cart on the side either, because like today, people might have sticky fingers and things end up disappearing.
It's exactly as you said, stealing from the Tote Man is ridiculous considering his low prices. What I didn't understand was whether the man who had formed the pile and then got so upset, or the one who touched his pile, wanted to steal? But in the end that's not important, the main thing is that the Tote Man was able to prevent it. Important is that you have found some very interesting items again: the catalogue, the old magazines (the paper is a bit brittle), the photo of the man with the dog, Snoopy of course 😍, Ernie, who I love just as much 😍 and... a bottle to kill 😂 (bed bugs). This is perhaps a larger equivalent to the small green poison bottle that you held in your hand at a rummage sale some time ago? Enjoy your finds with a good cup of tea! Cheers, Gabriele - Berlin
The man who had the pile or bag of stuff, whatever it was, he was the person that ended up walking away with something from the Tote Man. I think he was mad because of the scene that was caused and so thought it would be "payback". Whatever type of liquid that bottle held, it was sure to kill about every type of bug in the house I would think!
The Baldknobbers, the tape you found at around the 13:00 mark, have a country music show in Branson, MO. There's more local legend attached to the name but the Branson show is the most relevant information.
The workshop light would sell really well over here. Very popular with fans of industrial chic, of which I am one. Almost certainly would need rewiring, but that is easily done. Lamps like that I have seen sell for upwards of £50.
I was stolen from at one sale too many as a buyer. Darned right the guy with the pile raised cain. I would too, unless I was stealing like that prize (word omitted). I spent TIME picking things, and spent years learning what to buy. If you're not paying for my time and expertise and you take something, you're stealing even if I haven't paid for the item yet. That's THEFT. Stealing from the Tote Man or another dealer though... I'd call the cops and press charges. (can you tell I don't like thieves?)
I don't think the person took anything from the man's pile, I think he just looked at something/touched something without knowing it was someone's stuff. That happens many times at the market, but normally the response is just "That's my pile, sorry" and nothing more comes from it. My biggest issue was when the man said negative & derogatory remarks about the women there, which was completely uncalled for.
I know you will have a great adventure...as I see your Thumbs Up! I like that sail boat hull, I'd use it for remodeling, I've done that to two such hulls I was given by one of my neighbors. Ah, speaking of repurposing...that toy bus...a fr-g public transit vehicle! I had a similar situation...I was shopping my Walmart...two guys were helping themselves to "free" stock. they were pretty young...one was deciding what flavor gum package to pocket...I had the guts to tell him...put it back...not worth you getting you and your family in trouble...he sheepishly looked away and did put it back. the other guy had left...they were unrelated. His mom was shopping there...she came around to meet him. I did not tell mommy of his potential deed. Hope he learned a lesson...he was, otherwise a polite young man! That sad iron will give you a workout swinging it around the ironing board! Looks like a little 1889 battleship! Like that neat wooden treasure shaped box...is that "Mr. Personality button a fr-g?? Wonder if people still play VHS...a couple of years ago, I donated my collection, as the player died. Still play DVDs and CDs. Looks like a traveler's iron. Boy, those LPs bring back memories of youthful days! I remember those Sears reprints...had three...they went to a friend who worked at Sears. A few of the originals, when new ones came out, ended up in the farmer's outhouse!
I still have my VHS & my little tv that has a built-in VHS player. Was my tv in college & I would even bring a few of my favorite tapes with me to watch or just have on as background noise. We didn’t have cable in the dorms, only picked up a handful of random channels, so many DVDs & VHS were watched!
@@PaperandMoose I, indeed, remember the table model TV/VHS combos. My dad sold a few from his TV/Radio sales and service store. I remember hearing stereo from the first Sony Walkman..."blew me away" had one, listened to it at home...never while driving...some did!!
Did that cabbage patch doll have a Philipsburg cheerleading outfit on? It was blue and white, with a "P" on the front of the sweater. I thought you would say something about her. She was in the bin with the small square plates from Michaels, that you mentioned were likely $5 each at Michaels.
I think the little iron was for crafts. I have a similar one. It's good to iron on canvas shoes and stuff like that. I want those sheets!! I just got NKOTB Sheets from my lil thrift store fore a buck yesterday!! CPK would've been even better.
The old triptych looks like it would have been nice. Little Delft jug is nice too, someone's souvenir. The old caned seat golden oak would have been a good seller in the nineteen-seventies, no longer.
We have one of those irobs. The closure is a sweet tall rooster. I think we got in Guatemala. They are still being used with embers.in side to heat them up!
Always be one trying to ruin it for everybody else, but wanting to steal from another customer and then from the vendor is something else. Can the site bar him from being there in the future?
Great finds once again. Adore the photo of the man and dog and love the bottle!
You had me laughing the two guys cursing each other out. You go look at the guy and his dog picture! I love how you dont miss a beat. Thanks for taking us along!
I felt like I had a "squirrel" moment when I was editing. All this commotion going on, but look an old photo!
Wow that escalated fast! I absolutely loathe thieves. People just trying to make a living and someone comes along and thinks the world owes them! Hope you are well Renee. Oh, and I loved the curse bleeper 😂😂
So that’s what that was. I thought it was someone off camera. A Harpo impersonator 🤣🤣
I’m so lame, I didn’t realize that horn sound was a curse bleeper. Thanks for pointing it out I just thought some kid found a horn in one of the bins 😂😂😂
It seems my clown horn confused some people, haha :0) UA-cam sound effects doesn't have the usual bleep noise, so that was the next best thing. Hey, it was like being at the circus the way some people were acting!
Absolutely, some people think that stealing from retail (of any kind) is a victimless crime, of course it isn’t, especially if you are a one man band or a couple just trying to earn a crust. On the street market where we have a stall we often see the same people every week and there is one guy who is well noted for having the occasional ‘sticky fingers episode’ so his face is known by all the traders and any newbies are told to watch out for him.
They really are a lower form of life. Well off people do not sell at markets except for the locker nuts family.
That Firestone Christmas album! When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for those to be released. Some of my great
Christmqas memories are from playing those records.
I was hoping to find The Carpenters Christmas album. That was always played when we started decorating at my house!

Don’t mess with the tote man,he’s gonna come. Out fighting,👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤠🇬🇧
You get the best stuff from the Tote Man! The photo of the man & his dog is amazing. That alone was worth the trip to the flea market. I had the same Cabbage Patch
Kids sheets back in the 80s. I talked my mom into wall-to-wall pink carpet to match the Cabbage Patch motif I had going on. It was an eyesore, but I thought it was beautiful.

Someone missed their calling! 💯👍 and should have taken their show on the road years ago! 😂🤣🤪. Great post!
Was so excited to see this! Some people are crazies around the full moon!!!

Ms Moose went to college and majored in Tote Man/Woman Nostalgia and her major ended up bringing us great entertainment.
Hi Renee,so glad you saved the beautiful religious item!😍
Mr. and Mrs. Tote sure had a lot of great stuff that day! You need to have them on speed dial. lol

That’s exactly what I was thinking 😂

How convenient to have a clown follow you around with a horn to use every time someone swore
UA-cam didn’t have the usual “bleep” sound, so I had to make due with the next best thing 😆
Lovely vintage stuff There Renee - some choice vintage language as well! Good job Krusty was doing his schtick at the same time.

Glad you got the little cast iron pieces!
Ho unfortunate that someone would try to steal from Mr. and Mrs.Tote. Those boxes of paper and magazines looked fascinating. Great find!
16:18 Beck Bogert Appice album was worth checking date/edition/condition of. Could be $5, could be $50. I was lucky enough to see Jeff Beck in concert twice, maybe 10 or 15 years ago.

It didn't even matter whether I liked what he was playing or not, just watching and hearing him play anything, was amazing.
Yup, I always compare my vinyl collection to Discogs prices. It’s a bit basic, but it gives you a general idea of how much your records are worth!
Good digging Renee 🎉

Yep, when you had to pry the lid off the powdered chocolate milk mix , back when it was still called Nestles Quik…thanks for the episode Renee .
Strawberry was my favorite! I can't recall ever having the Chocolate. For me, the strawberry milk always tasted better when someone else made it, like they knew exactly how much powder to put in the drink.

Vintage scissor arm lamps $$$. Also you bought the Cabbage patch sheets but ignored the doll at 15:00
Great finds today Renee.
Hi Renee. I know you get excited by old photos and letters, but I thought the old SEARS catalog was pretty cool. Can you imagine buying all your clothes and household items from that catalog? I think Sears even offered an actual house, in kit form, from those early catalogs.
Another great episode, despite the drama!
(Got a kick out of your censor sounds!)
I grew up living in a Sears home.
@@Laurie81560 Really? That's pretty cool. If I remember correctly, Sears offered a few different models to choose from. I think they had a Cape Cod, a Ranch-style, and I'm not sure what else. They were very reasonably priced, and they actually delivered it to your building lot on a flat-bed trailer. Did your family order it and have to assemble it? Did you like it?
@@bobhamulak3646 Yes, it was built before I was born. I think my grandparents made payments and it was delivered in several shipments as needed. I have a book about Sears homes. Such an interesting time in history.
@@Laurie81560 HI Laurie. You better not let Renee know you have a book like that. She'll be wanting to know if you are planning on having an estate sale this weekend! (LOL!)
( That's pretty cool that you lived in a 'Sears-home'. It's a shame Sears is out of business. I always thought they had good quality stuff. )
Lol...I WISH I had an original Sears home catalog! I bought a reprint from Amazon. I also miss Sears. I worked there back when every department had a knowledgeable worker and we had to dress up for work. Yes, I am that old. 😀
That Cabbage Patch Kid fabric is adorable! Fun and excitement at the flea! Thanks so much, Renee!😅
What fun it is when you rummage through the totes from The totwmans Especially when I can sit in my living room and a blizzard is going on outside Yes we are getting a lot of snow today and coming on Saturday It's hibernating time for me so keep those flea markets coming with the toteman 💖💚💜🇨🇦🦩 Stay Happy 💫✨🌟✨
A blizzard?? Wow! Our temps are set to drop more this weekend, but we are expecting rain and not snow. I do look forward to a nice snow during the winter!
@PaperandMoose well I'll give you some snow right now and another storm for Saturday I'll send it your way with this crazy wind as well
Another fun day at the flea market with the tote man 😊
Hard to believe, but there are people who try to steal from thrift shops and even the public library. I'm glad he got caught. Tina, Al's wife
Mr. Tote Man: "Don´t do it again !" ☹ A thrilling start of this show, that´s for sure. And the Tote Man´s inventory never disappoints as well. I would have taken the old iron (around 1900), highly collectible and decorative. Anyways, you made some awesome finds again like the Sears, Roebuck catalogue reprint, the old magazines, the Dead Shot bottle etc.👌
By the way, Renée: honorable postal clerk Joe told me yesterday that another little package from Europe arrived yesterday and is available for pickup. Kudos to USPS: they just needed two days from Queens distribution center, Kearny distribution center, Phillipsburg P.O. to Bloomsbury P.O. whereas Deutsche Post needed eight (!) days from Hannover to Frankfurt. The rise and decline of a postal system...🤨Have a good one, first snow today over here ! 🌨Greets from GER, U.
First snow day there??? I am a bit jealous, as I do enjoy a nice, peaceful snow. Is it just a dusting or is any accumulation expected? I do wish that I picked up the sad iron for a decorative piece, but alas, perhaps someone else found it & can enjoy it! The postal system is quirky at times. Imagine if we still had to rely on Pony Express?? Thanks for the update on the mail, I'll be getting to the post office either tomorrow or Thursday to pick it up :0)
OMG! I had that Nokia phone too. Ms Butterworth is my favorite syrup and I bet Young Frankenstein is worth more money now that Teri Garr just passed away last week..💜
Just wondering do people help the tote man pack up his stuff at the end of the day??? Can’t imagine having to put it all back! Thanks for sharing another great dig!!
Thanks for the outting. Darn frames are a tease for me.
Tote man has some nice antiques and all the cute and strange stuff.
Great finds
..🥰🥰
Yay! You bought the Triptych!!! You called it the religious item and you found it in the tote around 2:45. Those are usually so pretty with the picture religious icon themes on the three panels, I have a small one but it's new not old, so yours is quite a find.
Yes, that's the word! I couldn't remember "triptych", so thanks!
@@PaperandMoose 👍❤👌
The Toteman & lady commenth! Nice scores Rene 💛 I'd love to shop with him, I see so many treasures that I would love to own. ❤ Stay safe there are crazy people everywhere these days 💯
Wow! What a bad person 😞
Glad you got some excellent things there Renee 😊 thank you for sharing your video 🙏😊
Thanks for being there so early and getting a ring side seat…..
Hello Renee. Well that was a very exciting day with the Toteman and Lady. You found some amazing things and got to watch the drama up close and personal. I really can’t believe that the man had the gull to try and steal from him. What a day you all had. I don’t understand people these days I really don’t . Take care and please stay safe. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🥰🫎🫎☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖🥰🫎🫎💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Those shoelaces! What a blast from the past!
First time I have found Lacoste shoelaces :0)
Renee…I think that picture may be the Duke of Windsor
Don't steal from the tote man and his wife. They are truly amazing people. Reena thank you for making my day better with your amazing video.
I would love that tryptic.
Nice pickings 🧡
How petty does a person have to be to steal from a flea market!
I was at a flea market and saw a man walk up grab something off the table and just walked on. The vendor was at the other end of the table so I just said loudly that man took something. Did not know what else todo. I was shocked at such behavior.
Hey yah Miss. P. Moose looks like you had some [squawking] good drama for a sec there. [squawking] good items too.
That iron was so cool!!
The illustrations in the Sears Catalog and the Ladies Home Journal are beautiful. Can you imagine how long it took - and how many people - to put out those magazines & catalogues back in the day? All that drawing! The stand-up desk you went by - I know it's not your thing, but they can bring pretty good money in the right condition. That one looked like it had been abused a little. 30 years ago that caned back / seat rocker would have brought a lot of money - now you can't give them away. In 1988 I restored one and gave it to my then girlfriend now wife. I meant to have it done before we left school for winter break but I didn't - so I had to hide all the parts around the dorm with clues. And ... once again we see the flea market as the great leveler - all sorts of people having all sorts of moods / days. Did you buy that Mr. Personality button? I thought you could give it ti the guy if you ever saw him again. Hopefully he's too embarrassed to show his face. Oh well, I shouldn't judge - don't know what he's going through. Nevertheless if I had witnessed that it would have unfortunately soured the trip for me - glad it didn't seem to for you. Thanks for the video & have a great Tuesday!
Yes, the work involved in those illustrations....amazing! They are pieces of art! A friend's mother had an entire career doing sewing pattern illustrations. Her work was absolutely beautiful. Wonder what she would've produced had she lived long enough to pursue a career of her own original artwork.
@ That’s remarkable. I bet she would have been able to sell artistic drawings for a tidy sum if she had been able to- and wanted to - following her career. Im curious if she went to art school or got the job based on raw talent?
Oh, I loved that desk! Tote Man would have had to deliver it to my place, not sure it would have fit in my car. I was thinking how it would be to actually use it as an office desk now and can't quite picture it, especially if using a laptop because of the slant. Still a nice piece! I might have been the next person to be yelled at if I gave that man the Mr. Personality button :0) I understand people do not want others looking in their piles, but it does happen. My guess is things escalated and next thing, the man is making rude comments about a woman who was just trying to get him to calm down a bit. Then it escalated more, and he thought he could get his "revenge" by stealing something. Maybe it was a full moon the night before! I already heard through the grapevine that the Tote Man will not be at the market this upcoming weekend, weather is going to be a bit colder & he is busy with getting even more inventory. I can sleep in that Sunday! Hope that your Tuesday was swell, as they used to say!
That's sad, some people just can't enjoy the moment 😔
TRAVEL IRON... small enough and light enough to pack... and an absolute lifesaver back in the day
Renee, i did not know you loved Jackson Browne like i do! I saw him in Edinburgh and we went to the stage door and met him and i got his autograph on the lyric sheet from Late for the Sky(my favourite album). Seen him since in Manchester and hope to see him next year in the UK.😊
I had a big Jackson Browne phase many years ago, listened to Late for the Sky on repeat for months. Alternated between that & Van Morrison's Moondance. Hopefully you will get to see Jackson Browne again!
Wasn't he abusive to women?
That electric iron reminded me of one got on either my birthday or Christmas. Mine came with an ironing board. It was funny because it never got hot enough to actually iron my dolls clothes. Sort of like the Easy Bake oven.
Easy Bake Oven.... baking a cake via a light bulb :0)
PS i feel bad for old stuffed animals too!!!
Great video Renee, and the story behind the hub-bub🥰 Ya never know what you'll find at the flea😘
Hub-bub, love that word! :0)
I know exactly what you mean don’t need it but I want it lol that’s how I ended up with a basement full of grandma’s 1940s wardrobe 😂😂 and I can’t even wear any of it. I’m a guy.
Be careful when you’re out and about!
Renee, do you ever end up with paper eating bugs hitch-hiking on the old treasures you buy? I once bought a wool felted rug, new, from a crafter, but it must have had wool moths because for a very long time after, I was fighting a battle against them. Another time, I ordered some grocery food from Sweden, but it turned out something in it was infested with weevils and they spread and I had to throw away so much dry goods and pantry items. Thankfully, my bug battles these days are only from the odd few fruit flies from a bunch of bananas. Anyway....It was Thrifting Thursday today and I did manage to get out and I found two more Paul Bonner items and such an amazing Norwegian pewter piece, I can't wait to take pictures this weekend and put the items up for sale. Happy treasure hunting and swift and easy sales to you!
2 rules of Fight Club: 1) Don't talk about fight club 2) Don't fight with Tote Man !
The Baldknobbers is a variety show in Branson Missouri. They have been around for over 60 years. Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! I hope the tote man was able to stop the thief!
The sears book great find I love looking through old catalogs like that to see times gone passed also it would be great to see how much things cost that you buy not just from the toat man but any time you buy things plus how much you sell things for keep the vids coming love them
Love the Mr Personality button
You need to bring one of the old fashioned shopping carts when you shop at the flea market. Easier than a bag.
I find the issue with the shopping carts is that in some areas, there isn't enough room to have it by you/through the rows. I don't want to leave the cart on the side either, because like today, people might have sticky fingers and things end up disappearing.
@ There are the old fashioned ones that are smaller than the shopping carts we use today.
Wow! What is this world coming to…stealing from a man who gives good prices on his things.
I don’t understand why people steel at flee markets. Sad for the tote man.
It's exactly as you said, stealing from the Tote Man is ridiculous considering his low prices. What I didn't understand was whether the man who had formed the pile and then got so upset, or the one who touched his pile, wanted to steal? But in the end that's not important, the main thing is that the Tote Man was able to prevent it.
Important is that you have found some very interesting items again: the catalogue, the old magazines (the paper is a bit brittle), the photo of the man with the dog, Snoopy of course 😍, Ernie, who I love just as much 😍 and... a bottle to kill 😂 (bed bugs). This is perhaps a larger equivalent to the small green poison bottle that you held in your hand at a rummage sale some time ago?
Enjoy your finds with a good cup of tea!
Cheers,
Gabriele - Berlin
The man who had the pile or bag of stuff, whatever it was, he was the person that ended up walking away with something from the Tote Man. I think he was mad because of the scene that was caused and so thought it would be "payback". Whatever type of liquid that bottle held, it was sure to kill about every type of bug in the house I would think!
Fun👍
The Baldknobbers, the tape you found at around the 13:00 mark, have a country music show in Branson, MO. There's more local legend attached to the name but the Branson show is the most relevant information.
The workshop light would sell really well over here. Very popular with fans of industrial chic, of which I am one. Almost certainly would need rewiring, but that is easily done. Lamps like that I have seen sell for upwards of £50.
Omg the book i will buy !!!
Seger's "Sunspot Baby" was one of my favorites.
And when do we get to see you junk journal??
I think that’s on her list 😂😂
Maybe it’s the same guy that tried to steal your train?
I was stolen from at one sale too many as a buyer. Darned right the guy with the pile raised cain. I would too, unless I was stealing like that prize (word omitted). I spent TIME picking things, and spent years learning what to buy. If you're not paying for my time and expertise and you take something, you're stealing even if I haven't paid for the item yet. That's THEFT. Stealing from the Tote Man or another dealer though... I'd call the cops and press charges. (can you tell I don't like thieves?)
I don't think the person took anything from the man's pile, I think he just looked at something/touched something without knowing it was someone's stuff. That happens many times at the market, but normally the response is just "That's my pile, sorry" and nothing more comes from it. My biggest issue was when the man said negative & derogatory remarks about the women there, which was completely uncalled for.
I know you will have a great adventure...as I see your Thumbs Up! I like that sail boat hull, I'd use it for remodeling, I've done that to two such hulls I was given by one of my neighbors. Ah, speaking of repurposing...that toy bus...a fr-g public transit vehicle! I had a similar situation...I was shopping my Walmart...two guys were helping themselves to "free" stock. they were pretty young...one was deciding what flavor gum package to pocket...I had the guts to tell him...put it back...not worth you getting you and your family in trouble...he sheepishly looked away and did put it back. the other guy had left...they were unrelated. His mom was shopping there...she came around to meet him. I did not tell mommy of his potential deed. Hope he learned a lesson...he was, otherwise a polite young man! That sad iron will give you a workout swinging it around the ironing board! Looks like a little 1889 battleship! Like that neat wooden treasure shaped box...is that "Mr. Personality button a fr-g?? Wonder if people still play VHS...a couple of years ago, I donated my collection, as the player died. Still play DVDs and CDs. Looks like a traveler's iron. Boy, those LPs bring back memories of youthful days! I remember those Sears reprints...had three...they went to a friend who worked at Sears. A few of the originals, when new ones came out, ended up in the farmer's outhouse!
I still have my VHS & my little tv that has a built-in VHS player. Was my tv in college & I would even bring a few of my favorite tapes with me to watch or just have on as background noise. We didn’t have cable in the dorms, only picked up a handful of random channels, so many DVDs & VHS were watched!
@@PaperandMoose I, indeed, remember the table model TV/VHS combos. My dad sold a few from his TV/Radio sales and service store. I remember hearing stereo from the first Sony Walkman..."blew me away" had one, listened to it at home...never while driving...some did!!
Did that cabbage patch doll have a Philipsburg cheerleading outfit on? It was blue and white, with a "P" on the front of the sweater. I thought you would say something about her. She was in the bin with the small square plates from Michaels, that you mentioned were likely $5 each at Michaels.
I think the little iron was for crafts. I have a similar one. It's good to iron on canvas shoes and stuff like that. I want those sheets!! I just got NKOTB Sheets from my lil thrift store fore a buck yesterday!! CPK would've been even better.
I would have taken the Fat Tire beer pull - $20 on eBay, easy ship.
The old triptych looks like it would have been nice. Little Delft jug is nice too, someone's souvenir. The old caned seat golden oak would have been a good seller in the nineteen-seventies, no longer.
We have one of those irobs. The closure is a sweet tall rooster. I think we got in Guatemala. They are still being used with embers.in side to heat them up!
That man was nuts! He needs to be banned from the flea market!! You got some really neat things!
You threw Jesus but placed the stuffed puppy nicely.😪😪
Some nice items
42? I'm in SoCal and it's 42 at 6am!
Always be one trying to ruin it for everybody else, but wanting to steal from another customer and then from the vendor is something else. Can the site bar him from being there in the future?
Good video! How come you don't explore the new items that are in the box?
Omg what people will do .
Scrambling through bins reminds me of raccoons scrounging through garbage cans
My family had one of those travel irons.
It really worked?? I thought for sure it was a toy iron, surprised when I saw the electric cord!
@PaperandMoose yes my grandma used it all the time while traveling.
