😂Alex, never feel embarrassed about buying Barbies or other little girl toys. We women make up half of the population and I hope, half of your customers! You’re looking out for the collectors who are ladies, and we love you for it. ❤
Thank you for being so respectful of the sellers and their items. I work with elders who are “downsizing” and it’s very hard for them to see things go. You make it a delightful visit.
Ditto! Born in 76 and I hadn’t thought about that hot wheels play set in many years until I saw this video. You could park a car at the top of the ramp then push the button to make it roll down. I barely remember the tv commercial for it.
Man…me and my sisters spent some long hours with a Spirograph. And Etchasketch. And the thing with all the loops to make potholders. We churned out product!
Hmm...I noticed in the first hot wheels box set...the fire station and the old fashion hamburgers restuarant....kinda looks like your store n the new place you just finished. That'd sooo sweet!! ❣
Flashback time! It was kinda odd seeing items I had when I was a kid back in the 60's. I had the same Spirograph, Monopoly, Barbie case, and other stuff thst was there. Grest mrmories, great find!
Spirograph, sigh. In 1962 I received one for Christmas. I made my first grade teacher as beautiful a drawing as my six year old self could. Later in the day, as I walk by her desk, I saw my drawing in the trash can. That is one of my earliest childhood memories, and a heart breaking one, at that.
@@carolschober8028 I suppose that we all experience hurt as children. So sad, isn’t it? I have grandchildren now and I’d love to make sure such things don’t happen to them, but it’s inevitable.
Sorry about the hockey table. Dang. I had the spirograph, barbies, and a metal green hornet lunch box. My brothers had the race cars & track and metal lunch boxes too. I don't remember which ones. Grandpa had a train in the back room with cool tunnels and lights. I remember the cows with felt bottoms. Wish we had all that stuff now.
That's what old tailgates do we always tied down anything put in the back. Get used to it doing it becomes second nature, truckers hitch really easy to learn and comes undone with ease. Great assortment of barbies and dolls this time really nice variety.
My mom did the same thing for us when we were children, Alex. Make fresh hard- boiled eggs 🥚 and we put them in our mittens to keep our hands warm as we walked to school and then, after Mass, (we went to parochial school), had the egg for breakfast and I'm not a grandma!!!! 😀
My mother told me that her mother would put baked potatoes in a sock and put it under the covers when they went to bed at night to keep warm. My mother grew up in Rhode Island in a house with no heat so they had to keep warm somehow! In the morning, her mother would cut up the potatoes and fry them with eggs for breakfast!
I just found your channel and it's fantastic. I've been watching backwards and skipping through. I just watched the video of your father in law. I'm so sorry for your loss. He seemed to be a wonderful person.
When I was very young, my parents got me a toy farm set, complete with John Deer tractor. I don’t know why they didn’t get me a dollhouse or toy oven. I don’t think I asked for a farm. The boy next door recently told me that he was glad when he came by as a kid, I didn’t make him play with dolls. Little did he know that Barbie was my most favorite thing to play with.
My grandmother had that exact tin barn and silo….remember setting up the inside with cows into their stanchions. She had other tin buildings….a garage, a western log cabin and a large house. Loved playing with them!
I had the Spirograph toy. I would get so mad when the cog and pen would jump the wheel and the line would go across the paper and mess up the spiral drawing!
ROB AT 2ND CENTS FOUND A CORNINGWARE BOWL SET THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! i DON'T KNOW IF THE BOWL MELISSA WANTS IS THERE BUT THERE ARE THREE PIECES. HE TALKED ABOUT A LARGE BOWL AND HE HADN'T FOUND THAT ONE YET IF IT WAS THERE BUT HE DID FIND THE THREE SMALLER ONES THAT NESTLED. HOPE HE HAS WHAT YOU WANT.
Hi Alex, really enjoy your videos. You do find some great items. Have to say, you are such a hard worker, always on the go. You are the energiser bunny. Also you are blessed with a beautiful family. Your old shop & new shop addition, look fantastic. Cheers Lois from Perth, Western Australia.
I remember having one of these stoves and we used methylated spirit to soak the cotton wool. And it did get very hot. I had a set of metal pans with it too.
I still have all my Barbies from the mid-60s, including a custom, hand-made wedding dress and veil. I also have that exact edition of Monopoly. I'm sorry you lost the hockey rink.
Alexander you had a Whooopsy on your way home with your hickey table. Oh well, it's now just a part of your story ... 😏 I love seeing the things you find. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your adventures. Take care til next time.
If you know what neighborhood you were in when you lost the hockey game, find that neighborhoods fb page and post that you lost it. Someone likely picked it up.
Oh that's s shame losing something you only just bought...very frustrating..I was thinking you cld retrace your steps but you did and it was gone...well you can be thankful that nothing else fell out...you got some really cool things for the shop... Hows the hse going...
Yes! My parents have the white glass shade design that was to the lower right of the copper tea pot. They also were available in blue and pink. Those fixtures are original to their 1950’s house and still in use today.
There is a local gelato store that uses the metal collector spoons for their cup servings, it helps you want to stay at the store and eat the gelato then the store reuses the spoon. It is the perfect serving size. Maybe even for taster samples. I think its a great idea instead of using single use disposable spoons.
A friend of mine growing up had one of those stoves, it had been her dad’s as a kid I think… why they let us play with it is beyond me… it used those emergency stove tablet things, you lit them under the burners and actually cooked on it in a little pan….. we were like 8-10 years old playing with this thing!! Also had a Spirograph like that when I was a kid… it had been my moms
I was trying to remember what we used, and when you mentioned the tablets it all came back lol. Crazy that we did not burn down the house, or hurt ourselves.
OMG I had that 1st hot wheels play town, what’s left of mine is still with my mother (and mostly destroyed). I remember spending hours and hours and hours playing on it.
Nothing like watching someone else do what you did all day. 38 3 cuft boxes full of stuff for real short money. And off to the flea market tomorrow from 4am to 4pm.
Ohhhhh, I cleaned out a 115yr old house from ladies in their mid 80’s that passed away but I retrieved a bunch of cars and dolls from the trash! Would you be interested?
I love your feeds. You are such a neat family. Calming to watch. I just saw a video a guy did with GoPro camera so both hands were free. I thought of you digging through boxes one handed. Not sure if it would work for you. Thank you for continuing to share.
I saw a Sandwich pattern glass bowl on the table when you were looking at the Phoenix candleholders. I collect that pattern and I don't have that one. I'll keep an eye out for it. Love your videos Alex!
The story of Star wars record isn't just the soundtrack, it's the actual movie, i used to have that as a kid, must of listened to it a thousand times, the actual Soundtrack i had also, it was an all black cover.
Man, kids got to play with fire in toy ovens? All we had to cook our food in a toy oven was a lightbulb. I imagine kids these days only get an led bulb in their Easy Bake Ovens.
I had Barbie with her wig, I had a Mis Clariol dill and she had markers that you colored her hair with and you washed out! The markers were strawberry red, burnette and blonde
Could be the hockey table itself opened the tailgate when it was launched by the speed bump. Probably not though. Wouldn't hurt to put some lube on the latches and levers etc..🤷
That 'toy' stove/oven, though! Then again, many of these kids might've had candles, fire-places, kerosene lamps, and other sources of open fire in their homes, which they'd learned to move around or manage. So ... perhaps this was just another step toward learning to tame fire while also learning household skills ... Like a mini coal iron my grandma was told to have as a child, to iron her doll's clothing and her own handkerchiefs ...
@@pinkerbot you'd be surprised how many homes were not wired for electricity and used fireplaces and kerosene for heating, and even had no running water and used only outhouses... well into the mid 20th century. Also, that was likely the toy of the deceased mother of the person whose garage sale this was. So there's that. Cheers.
@@pinkerbot :) This does not mean everyone did. I personally know people who did not ... ;) So, we can both be right. And ... I'd have loved to have this toy ... ;)
Bummer about the hockey table; hope it makes it’s way back to you Alexander. Maybe the power of Facebook might help? (assuming it’s not in a thousand pieces haha)
That little baby doll next to the doll head! That's MY doll! The only baby doll I ever had, and STILL have! OMG!
😂Alex, never feel embarrassed about buying Barbies or other little girl toys. We women make up half of the population and I hope, half of your customers! You’re looking out for the collectors who are ladies, and we love you for it. ❤
Ok 👌 feel much better about it now :) haha
Thank you for being so respectful of the sellers and their items. I work with elders who are “downsizing” and it’s very hard for them to see things go. You make it a delightful visit.
I was born in 76 and we also had that exact same hot wheels set with the gas station with the bell. Early 80s. Those are in really good shape.

Oh wow. I had that matchbox play set. Never thought I would see that again. I should buy that right now lol. Awesome condition.

What are the odds the person who picked up the hockey rink, hears it was yours and it gets returned to you. I bet it happens. Keep inspiring

Your excitement for something you enjoyed as a kid, make me interested too; obviously your an excellent salesperson, and wonderful human.
That one doll pulled briefly from the box may have been a Vogue from the 50s.
So cool to wake up to a post by Alexander. Hi all from Sunday morning in New Zealand. Nearly 10 am.
Hi from northen maine and it's 8:36 pm on saturday 3 hrs after you posted
Good morning from Los Angeles.
I'm glad I'm not the only Kiwi watching this

Also, love your show! Especially the Hoarder House episodes 🤩👍
I maybe 2nd but this makes me happy. What a great family thank you for so many wonderful adventures.
You have a lovely manner when working with people 😊
My mom took sweet potatoes in her pockets! One for breakfast and one for lunch!
When I was very young, my parents got me a toy farm set, complete with John Deer tractor. I don’t know why they didn’t get me a dollhouse or toy oven. I don’t think I asked for a farm. The boy next door recently told me that he was glad when he came by as a kid, I didn’t make him play with dolls. Little did he know that Barbie was my most favorite thing to play with.
So excited 👍🏼 feeling like these were some of the exact same toys my brother and I had. Thank you Alex
🕊️🌎🌍🌏🕊️

My boyfriend is named Ken. He is a mechanic. That roast was incredibly accurate. 😂
Alexander, you have a great sense of humor, making me laugh all the way to the part where the hockey game hit the skids, then I felt bad for ya!!!
I liked his comment, holding a Barbie head, “You always hope to get ahead in the business”.
I had the Spirograph toy. I would get so mad when the cog and pen would jump the wheel and the line would go across the paper and mess up the spiral drawing!

Spirograph child in blue is a girl. They always tried to show both would love to play with one.
Black Barbie case picture reminded me of Madam RAC

I had the metal oven as a child. It had round white disks for fuel, similar to firelighters. Also had a set of pots and pans with it. 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍
Those tablets are hexamine. Trade name "Esbit".
The stove is an AGA cooker. They’re amazing. It is missing one shelf in the right hand door. The Phoenix candle holders were so cool.
I remember having one of these stoves and we used methylated spirit to soak the cotton wool. And it did get very hot. I had a set of metal pans with it too.
I still have all my Barbies from the mid-60s, including a custom, hand-made wedding dress and veil. I also have that exact edition of Monopoly. I'm sorry you lost the hockey rink.
That is so amazing. I kept mine until my 30’s and then my mom gave them to a family member 😢
So sorry about the tailgate
You will come into positive energy that will more than make up for it. Find another Mickey Mantle ☺️
haha, i have almost that exact Giraffe bowl!! mine has a bit of a deeper dish. Parents bought it in Africa in about 2000.
😎 TFS
"TFS" ... ?
People used to take silverware with them because it doesn't transfer germs. Also the reason for silver bowls in churches for water or wine.
Alexander you had a Whooopsy on your way home with your hickey table. Oh well, it's now just a part of your story ... 😏 I love seeing the things you find. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your adventures. Take care til next time.
I had a gas station in the late 40’s when I was a little girl. Always loved cars.
If you know what neighborhood you were in when you lost the hockey game, find that neighborhoods fb page and post that you lost it. Someone likely picked it up.
Young people that collect spoons also actually use them as spoons. There is a movement to actually use the nice things that you have and enjoy them!
Cool items! It was good to see you today at the shop.
Oh that's s shame losing something you only just bought...very frustrating..I was thinking you cld retrace your steps but you did and it was gone...well you can be thankful that nothing else fell out...you got some really cool things for the shop...
Hows the hse going...
I’m thankful it didn’t fall out and hit a vehicle behind him!
👍👌👏 Maaaaan, I would love to own the wood processing machines out of the first basement/garage/shop.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Excellent video Alexander. Thanks for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ❤ 🇨🇦 🎉 🎉👏👏🎉🎉💯
Good loot, fun adventure! 😊👍
I really wanted the pink glass light cover that was next to the Copper teapot. I kept saying " get that get that"! LOL
Yes! My parents have the white glass shade design that was to the lower right of the copper tea pot. They also were available in blue and pink. Those fixtures are original to their 1950’s house and still in use today.
Phoenix candle holders👍👍👍👍🍀🍀

It is the perfect serving size. Maybe even for taster samples. I think its a great idea instead of using single use disposable spoons.
He couldn’t do that because he isn’t set up with a dishwasher or even a kitchenette
I had a bit more modern metal oven that plugged in and heated up ,still have it. Neat finds. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
A friend of mine growing up had one of those stoves, it had been her dad’s as a kid I think… why they let us play with it is beyond me… it used those emergency stove tablet things, you lit them under the burners and actually cooked on it in a little pan….. we were like 8-10 years old playing with this thing!!

Oh, wow, about the children's stove! 😲 Times sure have changed. I'm so sorry about the lost hockey game!
My mom in Tennessee has that old monopoly game where the game pieces, money and cards were in a box. The board was separate.
Lots of cool treasures!! Sorry you lost your game table!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Nothing like watching someone else do what you did all day. 38 3 cuft boxes full of stuff for real short money. And off to the flea market tomorrow from 4am to 4pm.
Good luck with your sales!
Ohhhhh, I cleaned out a 115yr old house from ladies in their mid 80’s that passed away but I retrieved a bunch of cars and dolls from the trash! Would you be interested?
Email Alex
The Spirograph "bowl cut" kid is a girl, I think!
That hard boiled egg is a good idea!
Yes, a girl with a "pixie" haircut.
Yup! A girl.
I would have loved to have had those canning jars!!
lots of cool stuff .... takes me back ....
I love your feeds. You are such a neat family. Calming to watch. I just saw a video a guy did with GoPro camera so both hands were free. I thought of you digging through boxes one handed. Not sure if it would work for you. Thank you for continuing to share.
That's a GIRL on the Spirograph cover! She has a pixie hair cut. My sister had the same shirt.
always good to see fresh pickins, thx.
Cool stuff Alex. Love when you put the prices up
I saw a Sandwich pattern glass bowl on the table when you were looking at the Phoenix candleholders. I collect that pattern and I don't have that one. I'll keep an eye out for it. Love your videos Alex!

if that was a Belleek platter, that would have been a good piece.
Yes, I saw that!
Fun Fact those toy stoves are painted with Lead Paint!
You got quite a few great things today. Sorry about the hockey table maybe someone will donate one to go with the men. Have a great day
I’m like, “Vintage linens!” 😍
My brother had that tin plate barn/farm. We spent hours farming, since we lived on a farm!
The hockey table would have been safe in the ghostbusters ambulance. Just saying.
Would have been safe if he had tied it down. He needed a more practice vehicle that could carry more cargo.
He chose building a home for his family over owning that car, good for him.
Man, kids got to play with fire in toy ovens? All we had to cook our food in a toy oven was a lightbulb. I imagine kids these days only get an led bulb in their Easy Bake Ovens.
Hahahaha
Gorgeous old toys
Great video
Awesome stuff. Love the Phoenix holders. Literally was yelling to get them lol. Should have bought everything 😊
It would be interesting to hear if I am your father is a real quote from the Star Wars sound track. Alex you could put an end to an Urban Legend!
Going through the garages of the playsets looking for barn finds...within a barn find!
😎
I have a set of dolls like the set of dolls that were in the box...Mine are about sixty years old...They were not collected by traveling to places...
I remember I got the Hot Wheel toy set around 1968 when I was 11. It was the tail end of the slot car era.
Yeah. Alexander is back 😊👍
The pink glass lightshade next to the teapot in spot #1!!!!!!!!!!
Really love the unboxing vlogs!!! Such great toys tin barn and garage !!! Love it wish I could come and broze!
Enjoyed. Nice finds!
I had Barbie with her wig, I had a Mis Clariol dill and she had markers that you colored her hair with and you washed out! The markers were strawberry red, burnette and blonde
The spirograph kid that you were discussing as a boy with a bowl cut was a girl. I had that haircut at that time. LOLOLOL AND loved my spirograph!!!

Opus plushies! Bloom County was a favorite comic when I was a kid- it was restared a few years ago.
great seeing this wish I still had my Barbies from the 1960s 🏴
Thanks again for sharing
The doll head looks like it's from a 1950's Miss Revlon doll. I have the doll and her head looks just like the one you have there.
!st Josh and now Alexander. Today is a good day. :)
Short Bungi Cord retainers on the Tailgate.
Bummer about the hockey table; hope it makes it’s way back to you Alexander. Maybe the power of Facebook might help? (assuming it’s not in a thousand pieces haha)
I had a little green plug in electric stove that got nice and hot and would cook oatmeal with raisins on it 😅
Alex goes a hunting and the memories are free...!
When I was in grade school back in the early 1970's I had always wanted a Barbie doll, but we could never afford it. 😢
Hope you find it...you just never know who’s watching 🤗😉
