That was one of the last Roseville Pottery Lines (Artwood produced in 1951) not Rookwood and the Weller with the Frog is Coppertone not Woodcraft, the First piece that you said was unusual Weller is Weller Gregora from the early 1930s, similar glaze to Coppertone.
Yes...very lucky that it's only a state away. Always enjoyed going. Last fond memory w my Mother n Daughter. Moms past. Three generations. No regrets. History is AWESOME.
The coverlets from 1830 through 1840 are amazing. I know who my relatives were in those years and all the information from those times are so black and white and never led me to think there were colorful things in those times so well made.
Loved the yellow Horizon Omni at 15:39 . My Aunt Dorothy passed one down to my sister in the early 80's . We drove that thing into the ground. Running the roads around Little Sebago Lake..😁😁
"Think for yourself. Your friends may be wrong." Love it!! I have never been to the Ford Museum. I don't understand the connection between the Ford vehicles & all the other features & exhibits, though.
I live in MI and I’ve never been there. Thanks for taking me! I was dumbfounded to see the oil lamp in the wrought iron holder. We always had the holders in our house. My mom put plants in them. We had lots of iron things as my grandfather ran a foundry. If someone had a cool candlestick, trivet, etc., he would make batches of them and the whole family got them. Sadly, coins only came out with one side finished, so that’s how my Uncle almost got arrested as a little boy… they worked in candy machines.
Greenfield Village & Henry Ford Museum was a school trip back in junior high. I recently got a candlestick on eBay that was made @ Greenfield Village. Thanks for a trip down memory lane, take care.👍⭐
I had to thumbs up that comment because I KNOW better and yet I still always say "Woodcraft" when I mean "Coppertone"! They are so obviously different too. I wish I could pin this but hopefully others will catch my error
OMG ...George you made my dream come true ...... antique n vintage cars woooòw . I don't know how to Thank you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🙏🙏🌷 I am loving it , I will watch this video again n again. With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
The child’s car seat on the right side at 20:44 was my car seat when I was 2/3 years old. Mine was red and I always slid out from under the wrapped bar so I wouldn’t have to sit in it. I wonder where my parents got it.
That was so much fun to visit , lots of interesting things to see. Thanks for sharing , it’s not a place I’ll get to go. I really appreciate see places like this. Thanks George
Greenfield village used to have little buildings you could wander in--I remember to this day Edison's workshop and a lighting display. I wonder if that is now up there someplace. That place is more accessible than the Smithsonian museums in my humble opinion.
Kia ora Nomad, I'm about to open my own antique, vintage upcycling shop. Love your channel. What would be your best 3 tips when getting started. Have been doing market's for 3years and loads of stock with contact's.
Womderful! Good luck. I will suggest three things: #1, advertise, do not expect to have people just find you! #2, make your front display and window displays so they can be easily changed, feature your best stuff or your best deals and rotate them regularly; #3, tag every item, don't think people will ask
That was totally cool, George!!! Thank you so much for taking us with you!!! Silly me thought we were gonna see all cars and ONLY Ford's!!! Well this has been added to my long places to go, BUT I have to put it lower on the list...The National Corvette Museum in KY takes more priority!!! Lol!!! Hopefully that'll happen when you are in KY!!! 💜🚘
I grew up in Michigan and we went there quite a lot. We had quite a few school field trips there. The Greenfield village was my favorite. I hope you had the chance to go through!
Frame 15:54 My cousin got hit by a train while driving a car like that, It saved her life. I always liked that car, I really like the way the rear blinkers worked. :~)
My fold up ironing board is the star of my laundry room. I almost cried when I saw that toaster, I had one and sold it at a yard sale early 90s for $25. The toast didn't go around, in circles, it went in one end, and slowly inched out the other end. Don't know why I sold it....
Aww, well you got to enjoy it for awhile at least! I love the fold-up ironing boards too, they save so much closet space and I actually think to iron because they're convenient
I'm not sure who coined the term "cottage industry", but it came above during the time that in most western countries, single women living with the parents and married women weren't allowed to work outside the home. Knitting, lace making and china painting are but a few of ghe ways that women could bring in extra money for the household. It was a dangerous proposition for women to own and work a private business during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries especially. Many of the witch trials were nothing more than a way to take over a business that was a threat to theirs. Women were the brewers of beer and ale and were very profitable in owning this business. Even our present day ideas of a 🧙♀️ comes from the breweries. A hanging broom was was the sign that the business was open. A pointed hat was part of the uniform to designate who was in charge. Cats 🐈, brewers used wheat, rye and corn. These regulated the 🐀 problems, but I do digress. Men and their own egos prompted the laws banning women in the workplace. It wasn't until the industrial revolution that these laws were changed. Was it a good thing? That's a tale for another time.
That's fascinating! I didn't realize that women were brewers, I knew about the other home based professions. It figures that anyone without legal rights would be a target.
What an interesting place! I, too, assumed the Henry Ford museum would be just about cars. Thank you for showing us that it is so much more! I never fail to learn amazing things from you, George! Thank you so much! 🙏
George, you were literally in my backyard. Wish I'd known. I would have gone over to meet you. My family has an annual pass to The Henry Ford, which it is called. The complex includes the indoor museum, the outdoor Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge factory tour. All fascinating.
@@TheAntiqueNomad George, if you have a few hours free time, might I suggest a trip to Pewabic Pottery in Detroit Less than half an hour from The Henry Ford Pewabic is Detroit's contribution to the Arts and Crafts movement It's the only historic pottery studio in Michigan It's open 7 days a week so it should be a more time friendly for a visit there Just a suggestion, a strong suggestion😁 I don't think you would be disappointed XO
Hey George! Those were some fantastic art pottery pieces there. Really interesting historical items in the museum!!! Love the 1939 Lincoln!!! That 1920's kitchen is something I'd like to have. I've always wanted one of the Victorian hanging oil lamps. I'd use it as kerosene, too...wouldn't want one if it had been "monkied with". That was a great tour!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!!!
I could live in that kitchen! I really enjoyed the art pottery, and it overall was just a tremendous place. There's more interesting things to come in the next video or two!

Thank you! I don't know why I always say Woodcraft when I mean Coppertone, I just can't seem to get that out of my head.
How fun!!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
L O V E D T H I S. So much great design in one place. How fun!
That was brilliant.Thanks for a great video.😀😀😀😀
Thank you too!
Thanks for taking us along!
You bet!
Knocked it out of the park once again. There is no other channel that compares. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks so much for saying so, I really had fun doing it
Thanks. That was wonderful. So glad they let u shoot videos. Times a changing!
Yes me too!
Yes...very lucky that it's only a state away. Always enjoyed going. Last fond memory w my Mother n Daughter. Moms past. Three generations. No regrets. History is AWESOME.
Aww that's sweet! I'll remember spending the day with my friend there
I was raised in Fords! Mostly station wagons. Anything Henry wanted to put in his museum is great. What a wonderful place to go.
It sure was, can't wait to get back there!
The coverlets from 1830 through 1840 are amazing. I know who my relatives were in those years and all the information from those times are so black and white and never led me to think there were colorful things in those times so well made.

Yes they were cute! They seemed to last awhile too.
Fascinating! Thanks for taking us along.
My pleasure for certain!
Very cool
Thanks!
"Think for yourself. Your friends may be wrong." Love it!! I have never been to the Ford Museum. I don't understand the connection between the Ford vehicles & all the other features & exhibits, though.
I like that saying a lot!
Wonderful. I could watch all night. Thanks George. Have fun.
I am so glad! I did a few episodes because there's so much
Thank you George .

George that was a fantastic video thank you for sharing..💜
Thanks I wish I could go there again this Labor Day, but I"m booked for Louisville
@@TheAntiqueNomad well hurry and come to Fort worth , Texas
I have got to visit this museum, I that place is outstanding
It is so good and it was so nice I could film
Thank you for sharing this George! I may never get there and this is an amazing Museum.
You are very welcome! It was even more than i expected
So fascinating!
I thought it was worth sharing!

Lol that's funny! I'm glad he avoided arrest. It's a great museum and worth the trip if you ever get that way
TY Enjoyed that!
Me too, thanks for coming along!
That was great!
Thanks, I thought it was worthwhile!
What a fabulous museum. Thank you for taking us there. Could not possibly pick a favorite display.
It really was something!
Amazing tu
Thanks I"m glad you enjoyed!
Greenfield Village & Henry Ford Museum was a school trip back in junior high. I recently got a candlestick on eBay that was made @ Greenfield Village. Thanks for a trip down memory lane, take care.👍⭐
Neat! I like the old tourist pieces from there
I loved visiting the museum with you, a couple of misidentifications on the pottery but mostly correct. Thanks for a great video!
Yes, I have to stop editing my own work, I should've caught those!
That was such a cool experience, as usual u surprise, delight & inform us….I truly appreciate all that u share. Cheers 🍷👏❤️
That's wonderful, I'm so glad you had fun too!
I did get a bit weepy when I saw the Industrial Designers showcase. He must have been a fascinating person to know. 🙏🏻👍
I imagine so, based on the scope of his design prowess!
That was very interesting! I, too, had no idea that Henry Ford was such a diversified & interesting person.
I agree, it was quite a surprise he was so varied
2:39 Weller "Coppertone"
I had to thumbs up that comment because I KNOW better and yet I still always say "Woodcraft" when I mean "Coppertone"! They are so obviously different too. I wish I could pin this but hopefully others will catch my error
Fascinating museum…thanks for showing it…would like to see it sometime
You're so welcome!
OMG ...George you made my dream come true ...... antique n vintage cars woooòw . I don't know how to Thank you.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🙏🙏🌷

Right on! I felt the same, I love the old cars and these were significant
I love that museum 😊 I went there many times as a kid in the 70s
So cool!
It's been years since I was at the museum. So yes this was fun to see it again. Thank you for sharing it.
I'm glad! Me too
I’ve been there! We did the Village and took a tour of the Ford plant as well. We had so much fun!
I want to see the rest!
💜💜💜
Thanks!
So nice of you to respond

I'm so glad you got to go with me then!
Great museum!
It gets even better...watch next episode!
I have and still use a Micheal Graves broom. I bought it at target.
Yes he did so much for them I didn't realize!
Greenfield village used to have little buildings you could wander in--I remember to this day Edison's workshop and a lighting display. I wonder if that is now up there someplace. That place is more accessible than the Smithsonian museums in my humble opinion.
That is right next door. Interesting observation about the Smithsonian, I think I agree

When you come, I'll meet you in Bowling Green! I love the 'Vette museum (especially the 1960s cars)

I will have to go back for Greenfield Village

That was my favorite part! I'm glad they were so sturdy

The Henry Ford, which it is called. The complex includes the indoor museum, the outdoor Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge factory tour. All fascinating.
So does my friend! I will be back, I haven't seen Greenfield Village at all
@@TheAntiqueNomad George, if you have a few hours free time, might I suggest a trip to
Pewabic Pottery in Detroit
Less than half an hour from
The Henry Ford
Pewabic is Detroit's contribution to the Arts and Crafts movement
It's the only historic pottery studio in Michigan
It's open 7 days a week so it should be a more time friendly for a visit there
Just a suggestion, a strong suggestion😁
I don't think you would be disappointed

Where is the Diego Rivera mural
That’s located in the Detroit Institute of Arts. It’s about 30 minutes away from this museum.
@@richkroberts I knew it was somewhere,and most worthy of a visit
So good that Detroit saved its art institutions!
With President Taft I think a steam locomotive would have worked a little easier. Sorry President Taft.
At least a tug or forklift lol
