Dear-heart! Much as I love you guys, am holding my breath in panicky watching you handle these precious items in such a careless manner! Please, not everything will meet your personal taste, but it can still hold considerable value if undamaged!
I am freaking out how you are moving around that large black pottery vase. Holding my breath for it looks like money.. Then you sit it on top of the dresser where every time you reach behind it it is wiggle wanting to fall off. Whew! I'm a nervous wreck..lol Thank God you moved it..
The Big bowl= Jade The placemat= sushi roller I luv the relationship you have with your mom. I just luv your family and your videos. Also Happy Birthday and you have a great day!!
Wade, you need to consult with an Asian art specialist. I recognize some of those pieces as being very valuable!! You will be amazed at what some of it is worth. An Asian art specialist might possibly be able to hook you up with s serious collector. Or perhaps an Asian auction. Whatever you do, take your time and don't sell yourself short! You've struck gold!
tip for all, to tell cut glass from molded, run your finger gently over the "cut" places. If cut, they will feel as sharp as a razor, if molded they are dull and kind of rounded off.
Great unit!! My dad was a career USAF Officer and we traveled the world. So many of the items that you found were the type of things my parents bought on our travels. My parents were married in 1947. That one picture said given to us as a wedding present 1946. So the timelines would be about the same.
Just an fyi on using your keys to cut the tape. The glue will build up on the key and could make it way into your ignition or lock and cause problems after time.
Lacquer box in kitchen box. Better Homes cookbook. I’ve sold 3 lately, almost immediately after listing online. Love the Pyrex set. A nice box just with kitchen. An amazing locker of furniture and art and stuff. Wow.
This old mom loves the old kitchen stuff from this unit, that whisk is too cool:-) Love watching ya'lls videos, not many young men do much with their moms, you remind me of how my sons and me get along:-) I know some complain of how long your videos run sometimes but I personally love them, makes me feel like I'm exploring, which I loved doing as a child:-) Disability does not let me do much anymore.........Anyways, please, keep up the way you do your videos and just know some of us, it's more than just being entertained for an hour or so.....it gives us a few moments to dream too.........
I have always wanted to visit and love any and all shows, documentaries, movies that involve Scotland. I am sure you have that wonderful accent also! Thank you for watching and commenting. I am envious!! Have a great week, Denise Grandma Ventures
Clown! I know what most of the old items are. I’m also an artist a know how to produce Batik, also the designs in wood, Japanese, Chinese, German, and others. I’ll go on you p.m. Chris 🎉
That silver bread basket cleans up well. I have one that looked like that. I put a layer of aluminum foil in the sink. Sprinkled baking soda over the foil. Put the discolored silver bowl in and poured boiling water over. Use tongs (so that you don't burn yourself.) and keep turning the item until all the discoloration is gone. Easy! Follow with a silver polishing cloth if you have one.
You have saki bowls, the small cups. I think the things Grandma Venture thought might be vases could be either aromer oil holders or used to warm saki. In the cutlery you had fish forks,sauce spoons(with the curved handles), a pie cutter/server and several pairs of sugar tongs. This a fantastic find,well done.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few days. I’m getting that vibe you and your mom have a ritual of smoking some grass before storage picking lol
Wade, I really enjoy your mom and you discussing all the different kinds of silver and crystal and china sets. I miss having my aunts and mom being around to remind me what was what.
Anytime I've seen Community flatware, it's always silver plated. This is from a silverware reference site: "Community Plate is one of the brands or "marks" of silver-plated flatware made by the Oneida Community beginning in 1899." Some people collect some of the nicer old silver plate so you might still be able to get something for it. Seriously, have someone look over the Asian art, boxes and pottery. If they're authentic...my gosh you won't believe how much it's worth!!! I can't wait to see part two! Happy birthday, Wade!
@@beamills9205 well an old analogy.. I think it was myth busters or somebody actually tested that, the bull made it through the china shop without breaking a thing.
Wow! What an amazing unit! The brass lamp you are showing 54:42 is fairly old. I remember my father having one on his desk that was there before I was born and I was born in 1961. So not antique but definitely vintage.
I have a set that was our everyday silver from my childhood and it's beautiful. Not so much for the roses or floral design but for all the memories that go along with it!
For a guy who got a gazillion knives in another unit, you’re still opening boxes with keys? Come on, Wade. Stick a few box cutters in the glove compartment 🤣
The spoons are called rice pattern, you can hold them up to the light and see what looks like grains of rice. The clay is pierced in that pattern and the glaze fills the piercings to make that pattern.
Items that are used as bowls, cups etc are rarely pure silver. Like gold, the metal needs to be mixed for continuing usage. Silverware is actually flatware. Silverware wasn't even pure silver for the most part. I collected and sold "silver" items years ago. Here, it usually goes to be crushed.
@@machendave I also had LOADS. All of my family couldn't get rid of their old items and spoon collections. I also had them given to me to make chimes. I kept a few but recently made a few chimes and rings with the sterling. It's unfortunate people are just losing interest in those historical items. I don't have the space anymore. I'm glad people like you still collect and keep those pieces of history. One day it may all come around in popularity. You have a few good ones. Tbh, I'm starting to feel the guilt😳, in getting rid of boxes of old cutlery.😔. If they weren't so strict in senior apt complexes, I might still have them.
OMG Wade you got a really good storage unit it has so much awesome stuff inside, I was siting on the edge of my seat wondering what you would pull out next. also happy birthday hope you have a wonderful time and stay safe both of you.....Awesome video.....
Wade....what an epic unit!!! So cool to watch, beautiful wood furniture pieces, incredible...you will make a few thousand on this unit, maybe more...the art work could be very valuable 😍😍🌝🌝🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼
Happy Birthday, Wade!! The cups you thought were for sake, are for sake. You may find the full sake set, which includes a Tokkuri pot (looks like a small vase with jute tied around the top) that you heat the sake in. And there are usually 4 Ochko cups. Congrats on a great score!!!!!
That vase you called it with the holes is for incense. The cup looking ladle with the ornate artwork (the first one you opened) is for washing your hands for a Japanese tea ceremony.
Wade...5:40 the gold lighter you pulled from box looks to be a rather expensive one. Looks to be a " Dunhill butane lighter". They were popular in the early 70's and sold at high end Tobacco (cigar shops) in the USA. They are still sought after and popular with collectors.Nice find indeed.
Actually these elephants with their trunks curled up at the tip represent strength (since when elephants use their strength to push down or through obstacles the trunk CAN’T be uplifted!
Wrapping silver in Saran wrap reduces tarnish. Drove me crazy you unwrapped and didn't rewrap to reduce tarnishes. Please be more careful with glass and china when showing us the goods. Was holding my breath.
I love to watch your videos Wade, but man sometimes my heart skips a beat when you unwrap things lol, you do have a gift at picking some awesome units!
Hey that Sumo guy is megi ivory and everything in the box was a display case for him. He is worth $500+ if real. Pays for more than the whole unit. Those scuba tanks are also probably double pay for the unit.
I believe the name of that Oneida Community flatware is called "Milady", and it's from the 1940s. You can see it here: www.rubylane.com/item/362270-1940MIS4BD/Oneida-Community-MILADY-Flatware-Dinner-Set
That green thing at 107 was a Langley Fisherman's de-liar, I haven't seen one since I was a little boy , my dad had one, it's for weighing fish. Langley was a company that made tackle and fishing reels they're long since out of business, that thing is very rare
You said you paid 300 for the unit, I think it's safe to say you made a few dollars. These are the units people want to find. Making money is great but the story they tell is priceless. Great find, keep the good work and hope all the best for yall.
You should look up a formal setting for silverware. There are salad forks dinner forks desert forks. Teaspoons soup spoons desert spoons. Many formal silver includes many different serving ware. Also, I think nickel/silver is were they are mixed together for strength. Etc.
Dear-heart! Much as I love you guys, am holding my breath in panicky watching you handle these precious items in such a careless manner! Please, not everything will meet your personal taste, but it can still hold considerable value if undamaged!

The Big bowl= Jade The placemat= sushi roller I luv the relationship you have with your mom. I just luv your family and your videos. Also Happy Birthday and you have a great day!!
Nope, that big bowl is not made of jade. It is ceramic.
The placement mat is to serve and prepare tea
oooOOOOooo Pyrex! Cool!!! Another awesome video! As always...Grandma Venture cracks me up! It's a revolutionary from the revolution! Classic Grandma!
You got your Beautiful mom back I Love to here her beautiful voice and she also like what I like. I'm so glad she doing well.
Wade, you need to consult with an Asian art specialist. I recognize some of those pieces as being very valuable!! You will be amazed at what some of it is worth. An Asian art specialist might possibly be able to hook you up with s serious collector. Or perhaps an Asian auction. Whatever you do, take your time and don't sell yourself short! You've struck gold!
That BOWL you are worked up on Wade is very valuable, solid Jade
I am lookin gfor this stuff online --- I don't see it posted anywhere... : (
*Absolutely, concur!* Handle this unit with care and get an Asian Art Dealer.
tip for all, to tell cut glass from molded, run your finger gently over the "cut" places. If cut, they will feel as sharp as a razor, if molded they are dull and kind of rounded off.

That one picture said given to us as a wedding present 1946. So the timelines would be about the same.
Vintage Pyrex is good $. That one is great. It’s not faded because someone put it in a dishwasher! Great find & even better with a set.
Just an fyi on using your keys to cut the tape. The glue will build up on the key and could make it way into your ignition or lock and cause problems after time.
Lacquer box in kitchen box. Better Homes cookbook. I’ve sold 3 lately, almost immediately after listing online. Love the Pyrex set. A nice box just with kitchen. An amazing locker of furniture and art and stuff. Wow.
The figurines are a set of Terracotta Warriers from China - great find 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺🐨
The oriental boxes are either Japanese or Chinese lacquer work, it needs to be seen by a specialist. some is worth a lot.
This old mom loves the old kitchen stuff from this unit, that whisk is too cool:-) Love watching ya'lls videos, not many young men do much with their moms, you remind me of how my sons and me get along:-) I know some complain of how long your videos run sometimes but I personally love them, makes me feel like I'm exploring, which I loved doing as a child:-) Disability does not let me do much anymore.........Anyways, please, keep up the way you do your videos and just know some of us, it's more than just being entertained for an hour or so.....it gives us a few moments to dream too.........
Grandma Ventures you are right it is wonderful to be from Scotland, I'm from Glasgow.
I have always wanted to visit and love any and all shows, documentaries, movies that involve Scotland. I am sure you have that wonderful accent also! Thank you for watching and commenting. I am envious!! Have a great week, Denise Grandma Ventures
I love all the Asian items!
You guys really are crushing it! Mom has me cracking up 🤣I’m so glad she’s back. Hope you have a great trip for your birthday. Awesome unit!
THAT CHEST!! CHA CHING.$$$ ..was excited evertime you opened a box.
“It’s a revolutionary from the revolution.” 🤣 Grandma Ventures is hilarious!
I laughed so hard when she said that. 😂
Cannot believe you used the silver pick to open the boxes
Clown! I know what most of the old items are. I’m also an artist a know how to produce Batik, also the designs in wood, Japanese, Chinese, German, and others. I’ll go on you p.m. Chris 🎉
the square glass case that you said was maybe for fish, is a display case that sits on one of the platforms in the box. you are just so cute.
its really nice that u and ur mom do this together love watching u guys together
Awesome finds your the bomb . Love you and your mom doing the videos your both a lot of fun. I love Asian stuff can't wait to see those elephants.
My maiden name was Webb! Have a great week and thank you so much for watching! Denise Grandma Ventures
So sad that this person lost their legacy. What a collection! Thank you for sharing.
You and your Mom are awesome, I love watching you guys! And yes, you are very entertaining! lol
This was def. a winner, winner , chicken dinner!

I like all the things you found. Love Asian stuff.
I like the two birds painting a lot ! Whoever owned that unit liked Asian things,probably spent time over there as serviceman or businessman
WOW!!!! You won the storage war for sure between your comrades 😃
Grandma, you really got Wade with the bedbugs comment! He just froze in place with his hands in those sheets! LOL
That's nice your Mom liked the brand on that bowl from Canada. You all do a great job of entertaining every one.
WOW ! Just Amazing !
Wade, I really enjoy your mom and you discussing all the different kinds of silver and crystal and china sets. I miss having my aunts and mom being around to remind me what was what.
isn't that the truth

57:22 fine Japanese porcelain. very expensive, and delicate so be careful.
HE IS LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP....
@@beamills9205 well an old analogy.. I think it was myth busters or somebody actually tested that, the bull made it through the china shop without breaking a thing.
I hope you kept the white elephants and the white stools and the lamps! 😍 it’s a keeper
I absoltely love this channel thanks mom and Wade!
Good pick on this one ! Beautiful tea cups.
Wow! What an amazing unit! The brass lamp you are showing 54:42 is fairly old. I remember my father having one on his desk that was there before I was born and I was born in 1961. So not antique but definitely vintage.
I love the way you're so respectful to your mother!
The “community” silverware is silver plated, made by the Oneida silver co.
The name community on the back is the pattern
I have a set that was our everyday silver from my childhood and it's beautiful. Not so much for the roses or floral design but for all the memories that go along with it!
Hi, the long forks are for pickle onions and the ones that you said was weird are cake forks.Debbie in the UK.😊
And although i really couldn't see the ends well, i think the pincher type utensil was a butter tong.
For a guy who got a gazillion knives in another unit, you’re still opening boxes with keys? Come on, Wade. Stick a few box cutters in the glove compartment 🤣
midgardette that was my thought too.. keep cutters in vehicle.
exactly, keep them in the truck
Shut your pie holes, if he wants to use his teeth, let him! Sheesh!
The spoons are called rice pattern, you can hold them up to the light and see what looks like grains of rice. The clay is pierced in that pattern and the glaze fills the piercings to make that pattern.
Brit here, EPNS. Is often on British flatware.. Electro Plated Nickel Silver. EP is usually plated copper.
The "silver soldered" means the same thing as well.
Items that are used as bowls, cups etc are rarely pure silver. Like gold, the metal needs to be mixed for continuing usage. Silverware is actually flatware. Silverware wasn't even pure silver for the most part.
I collected and sold "silver" items years ago. Here, it usually goes to be crushed.
@@mellowyellow2022 I have a bit of silver collected over the years. Mainly Stirling but some Britannia. Oldest spoon is James the second.
@@machendave I also had LOADS. All of my family couldn't get rid of their old items and spoon collections. I also had them given to me to make chimes. I kept a few but recently made a few chimes and rings with the sterling. It's unfortunate people are just losing interest in those historical items. I don't have the space anymore. I'm glad people like you still collect and keep those pieces of history. One day it may all come around in popularity. You have a few good ones.
Tbh, I'm starting to feel the guilt😳, in getting rid of boxes of old cutlery.😔. If they weren't so strict in senior apt complexes, I might still have them.
@@mellowyellow2022 Not much room to store anything either.
Oh that blue planter is gorgeous,those big white things are pedestals for plants I 🤔 think
You should be more careful with your unwrapping some of those items are worth lots!
this storage is awesome love the elphants so beautiful things and stuff
Wow! What a score ! I love the enameled pieces. 🌹
The elephant...I had end tables... AWESOME
OMG Wade you got a really good storage unit it has so much awesome stuff inside, I was siting on the edge of my seat wondering what you would pull out next. also happy birthday hope you have a wonderful time and stay safe both of you.....Awesome video.....
Love your mom❤️❤️❤️
Wade....what an epic unit!!! So cool to watch, beautiful wood furniture pieces, incredible...you will make a few thousand on this unit, maybe more...the art work could be very valuable 😍😍🌝🌝🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼
We like Grandma Ventures

Is. A. Oil. Picture. 🌈
I bet his home was beautiful with all the Japanese items. I think the green. Plate is jade.
Aww now I have to wait for the final video to see all of the items 😉
I did see some Australian coins in the frame and also from te Travel case 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺🐨
That vase you called it with the holes is for incense. The cup looking ladle with the ornate artwork (the first one you opened) is for washing your hands for a Japanese tea ceremony.
I don't know if any has ever told you but if you see 925 on some thing it's silver
Amanda Weaver 925 means sterling silver; which is better than just silver❤️👍
Your box of blue and white china is amazing !!! I think that bowl might be something very special. !!
Wade...5:40 the gold lighter you pulled from box looks to be a rather expensive one. Looks to be a " Dunhill butane lighter". They were popular in the early 70's and sold at high end Tobacco (cigar shops) in the USA. They are still sought after and popular with collectors.Nice find indeed.
on the ceramic elephants, most orientals who collect them want the trunks up as it is a sign of good luck. With the trunk down all the luck runs out!
Actually these elephants with their trunks curled up at the tip represent strength (since when elephants use their strength to push down or through obstacles the trunk CAN’T be uplifted!
1.05 you found a knife! A KNIFE! :P Yeah!
Not sure why you think Delinquent, I think Ex US Navy man, who has been stationed in Japan
That is some beautiful stuff. I used to work for some Koreans and they had Beautiful stuff. Props Wade and Mommy
l love all of your units, they are so entertaining to watch thanks from the U.K.
I love how your mom gets excited about every item you open !!! love the videos, you got an amazing rabbits foot for buying units !! enjoy your spoils
Wrapping silver in Saran wrap reduces tarnish. Drove me crazy you unwrapped and didn't rewrap to reduce tarnishes. Please be more careful with glass and china when showing us the goods. Was holding my breath.
first time watching, love that unit, will be back for more, Lynn UK.
I love to watch your videos Wade, but man sometimes my heart skips a beat when you unwrap things lol, you do have a gift at picking some awesome units!
I love your family and how well you work together
You really need to have an expert look at those prints or paintings. They may be worth a whole lot more than you think.
WOW! dream unit
I grew up next to Patrick Air Force Base. Many of the officers homes were full of this kind of stuff from their tours overseas.
Yeah chuck full of bric-a-brac and yard sale filler.
The lacquer ware is wonderful. Enjoy.
Hey that Sumo guy is megi ivory and everything in the box was a display case for him. He is worth $500+ if real. Pays for more than the whole unit. Those scuba tanks are also probably double pay for the unit.
I would love to spend a week with you. You do so many cool things. Your family comes across as being very close.
Community, was known as Oneida community, it was a silver company started in the mid-1800s in Upstate New York
I believe the name of that Oneida Community flatware is called "Milady", and it's from the 1940s. You can see it here: www.rubylane.com/item/362270-1940MIS4BD/Oneida-Community-MILADY-Flatware-Dinner-Set
Grandma Wades is wise!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance Wade...!!! anyway you forgot your knife and gloves again!the unit was a blast,most of the items are collectibles.
One of a kind item that you can't find. Great collection
Hi Wade & Mum, from London UK! love your vids especially long ones 😁 EP on silver means electro plated
Ohhhhh those china wares are awesome 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
the weird forks are a cross between a table knife and a fork. IS stands for International Silver co, they bought out Rodgers.
A great unit! Love the photos and the military items!
I wished I lived closer so I could buy some of the awesome stuff.
LMAO bedbugs .. awesome mom, omg that is a unit that I would love. It is so me. Oh yeah and that little suitcase is called a Train Case
I just bought an Asian unit myself, similar to yours, fun to look through!
That green thing at 107 was a Langley Fisherman's de-liar, I haven't seen one since I was a little boy , my dad had one, it's for weighing fish. Langley was a company that made tackle and fishing reels they're long since out of business, that thing is very rare
The forks you thought were freaking weird are cake fork. Love this Unit.
lucychops1 or possibly fish forks, to go with the knifes?
The freaky forks are for sectioning and eating grapefruit. The blade looking side really is for cutting.
I really enjoyed this video I have been going back to ones that I have not seen.. BEAUTIFUL!!
Happy Birthday! People collect Pyrex. There is a store in PA that buys and sells Pyrex. Tom Kat Collectables. They have a FB page
You said you paid 300 for the unit, I think it's safe to say you made a few dollars. These are the units people want to find. Making money is great but the story they tell is priceless. Great find, keep the good work and hope all the best for yall.
55:38 That is a Tsuba, Japanese sword hilt. You sure hit a great unit.
Your best yet! 😍💥🥰💥😍🥰
The foil and plastic wrap on the silver keeps it from tarnishing.
You should look up a formal setting for silverware. There are salad forks dinner forks desert forks. Teaspoons soup spoons desert spoons. Many formal silver includes many different serving ware. Also, I think nickel/silver is were they are mixed together for strength. Etc.
could not tell from the video, but the "tapestry" at 39.29 could be an OBI the waist sash for a kimono.
Loving the oriental pieces, vintage pyrex and corning wares!
