19:30 is a stamps hanger for like an office... Like, municipal workers use different stamps a day, so they had them all hanging there and looked for the one they need at any given time, pressed it on the ink pad, put the stamp in the paper, and hang it again.
as someone who played the violin growing up and now has a small spoon collection, I didn't know this was something I needed and will now be on the hunt for
Or old guitar amps, like my husband's collection of vintage Marshall amps. I heard my husband say that Russia continued to make vacuum tubes as they were phased out by newer electronics made elsewhere. He says tube amps deliver a much more authentic sound. As an LP is to digital.
Yup, I'm 60 and my dad repaired TVs when I was a kid. I spent many a day sorting through various sizes of tubes, diodes and resisters. It was what was handed to me if I dared say I was bored.
They made lots of items in prep for Edward as they never thought he would Not be King. The more rare stuff is Eliz 11's dad, George V1 coronation bc that was rushed following his brother's abdication.
Dame Laura Knight, who designed the commemorative mug, was an interesting artist that I think you'd have fun looking into. She was fantastic at portraits and her motives are very diverse! She was a war painter during WW2 and is also known for painting scenes from the circus and theatre. She painted a lot of marginalised people and women in particular.
I didn't know Laura Knight painted ceramics. I worked for the National Museum of Wales, and they have a few of her paintings. Love her work and as a person. Thanks for the info.
I was just reading about her! She had a remarkable career as a woman artist in an era where that was very difficult at best. For her participation alone, I think that mug is very cool! That said, it's also of interest because of course Edward VIII was only King for a very short time; he was the fellow who abdicated the throne for love of his divorced American girlfriend, whom he subsequently married in a rather charming act of romantic rebellion against the royal family. Also, I think that mug is original to the coronation in '37, both by virtue of its style and also because Edward became a black sheep after he abdicated--I don't think the Crown was much into commemorating him, ahem. (So this is the perfect royal mug for a non-fan like you, LOL!) Plus Dame Knight was about 60 at the time and in the prime of her success, so it makes sense.
Just make it 4-5 parts lol. Attic Antiquing corner by corner. Lol ShannonMakes, single handedly improving Nova Scotia FB Marketplace one attic antique at a time.
The piece of metal on it is the blade, Shannon. The usual use is for forming things which are longer than they are wide and are meant to have gentle curves - I made a banjo neck with one. My father made canoe paddles.
If you’re wanting to get rid of some of those things, maybe see if you have a local community theatre that you could donate them to their prop collection. I bet they would love them!
Shannon, these attic videos are so interesting. Yes, please show us the Christmas decorations. Some of us, not me obvs, have a Christmas obsession lol Thank you for posting.
That item you thought Phil would be interested in is a headlamp and battery for an underground miner! The lamp would affix to your hardhat, and the battery would be in a case or pouch attached to you belt. I grew up in the Australian goldmining town of Kalgoorlie, so I grew up round them.
In fact, the first coal mine in North America was in Port Morien, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The French were mining it to supply their Fortress Louisbourg.
It's definitely a miners headlamp. I remember seeing my grandad wearing his. I've still got his hardhat,my brother has got his old miners lamp/lantern.
I feel compelled to say, again, how charming your style is: witty, snarky, and optimistic. I'd love to see a compilation of the crazy variety of light fixtures you've found!
@@Nwladylaura369 You could buy reusable rubber sealer rings and water bath can them just like modern mason jars. Depending on the size you might still be able to get the rings!
@@Nwladylaura369these jars are neat because they would've had a rubber ring that would go between the jar and the glass lid, then the ring would tighten everything down. Then eventually the Mason company (or Ball, I can't remember who did it first) made a metal lid with the ring built in!
So happy to see the headless Scotsmen have a use! Perfect! The dairy cart moving across the attic floor was also a nice touch. Great video, Shannon. Love seeing what you're finding in the creepy attic.
The Sovtek are tubes - probably for a guitar amplifier, but could also have been for a vintage radio or TV. Based on their newness and the way they were labeled though, my bet is on amp. Thanks for another fun video!
I actually had someone asking me for one. They called them "Mason jars" but the idea is the same. Canning, rubber rings. Unless the glass has turned a blue tinge, the jar is still usable for canning. (Friend had a huge collection of very old jars).
I have one that the inside of the lid is porcelain. Yes they are all worth some cash. Mine is blue glass. I would not use it for canning now, but I like the idea of putting buttons in it! I just have mine setting in the window for now.
My grandmother was a flapper. She would use the rubber seals to hold up her hose so that she could show off her knees. She had varicose veins as an elder; no surprise.
Please get the needlepoint bench cover dry clean to make you sure you don't have any dry rot in the thread or mold. If you don't want to build a bench think about making it into a pillow or cushion for a sofa or even your bed
Depending on how long it is, it might be a bed cover. I can't remember exactly what they're called. You know those heftier fabrics to lay across the food of the bed so that if you laid down in the middle of the day, you wouldn't get the bed dirty with your shoes?
Shannon (office video) “this chair will do, I only have two other chairs” also Shannon “look at my attic full of stuff, antiques and three thousand, twenty two chairs” 😂 You’re living the dream Shannon! The laser printer! And I’ve literally wished to purchase a house with an attic full of stuff to sort through. I would love to buy the baby Pram from you for my new granddaughter; too bad we are separated by roughly 2000 miles (3200 kilometers). The giant chrome wheel looks like the top of a retail clothing rack. The wood handle with blade is an antique planer/scraper. I think used for small detail pieces. It looks similar to the tool used to remove bark from logs but those don’t have wood underneath the blade. Mystery lid goes to an ashtray, I have my Dad’s 1950 ish ceramic one with the same lid.
@@ShannonMakes I absolutely hear that and I know that’s not the priority. I was just completely amused and astonished at the number of chairs and other very cool projects in your attic. I’d offer to make over your favorite chair for you but I’m sure the shipping would be cost prohibitive. 😁
That green/red is a "Switch Target" if its green you are lined for the main rail, if red good to go to another rail per my retired railroad husband. Those bulbs are old TV tubes. That cross stitch is beautiful, would it be something you could use on your radio cabinet to set all your pretties on for a switch up? So, enjoying watching your journey of antique sorting, although it's a big job for you. So very happy about Phil finding a car, has to be such a relief. Have a wonderful week!
That chair is called a Commode Chair. The porcelain bowl would be placed under it. Your house would have had an outhouse originally. This chair made it easier for night time.
I laughed so hard at that music box giving you the shivers. 🤣 It's likely a collectible, but I have no idea what it is worth. The rug is known as a Navajo rug. If it's natural fibre, it could be quite valuable because it would be hand woven. Wash in warm water like good wool is done.
Yes 1936 was the "year of 3 kings". George V died, then Edward Viii abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, making George VI the king. So the 1937 coronation was held - but for George VI, not Edward. The cup could definitely be collectible.
I just hooted when you included the headless apple dolls in your Halloween mantle montage! I identify with your sense of 'humor'...lol Love all the cool finds!
So cool that you acknowledge John Gilkey. It was that particular tour of Cirque de Soliel that we discovered and both our sons would watch that segment of the video over and over and over to the point that I have the sound track of Yma Sumac burned into my memory. I never knew that's who was actually doing the tricks. As a family we were utterly enthralled by his skill! Thank you for solving the mystery almost 30 years later!
You could use those hooks from the broken coat rack as part of a backed bench with hooks on it for your bedroom. Thanks for sharing your 'chaos into order" attic play.
The canning jar, the glass lid would be turned over with rubber ring around the edge of the lid, to seal the jar. I have found the jar rings at Home Hardware. In my jar like that I have old marbles.
As a home canner, the jar is old, 1930s or maybe older, you need a rubber gasket between the lip of the jar and the glass top, those are still available. It is a very good 3 piece canning set up and it is infinitely reusable, as long as all the sealing surfaces are sound. The only thing that would make it better, would be if it was the light blue, that's how we can tell age of a jar here.
I'm sure Shannon already knows this, but for anyone who doesn't -- the fake snow on some antique Christmas ornaments was made of asbestos, so take care with them. The wooden "fibre arts" thing is, I think, a cooking utensil holder. And the hand plane thing might be a spokeshave.
@@cynrich1it’s great to use them for holding different types of scissors. We use them when we can find them for holding various embroidery type scissors.
The items you thought were bulbs are resistors or capacitors for old radios or TVs, the bladed item looks like a spoke shave for wood working and the item with the broken spoke looks like a pipe stand
Shannon the wooden thing that you thought looks like a plane is call a spokeshave. The blade is sharpened to shave off wood as you draw it toward you while holding the handles. It could have been used for many things such as barrel making or general wood shaving. We have a number of this antique tools and it could be cleaned up to use.
I so appreciate how you value old things--such as the hinge. Your house is FULL of wonderful discoveries! ♥ Those glass bulbs look like old tubes that used to go inside and power antique TVS. Could be valuable since they are not made anymore, but might make a old TV work, if you can find one in the house. Russia probably is the only country that still make them, since they have old TVs still. Probably were ordered from Russia to fix an antique TV
I am so loving the attic fides. You can clean up the baby stroller and use it to store stuff in your future crafting studio. There is a lot of stuff to let someone else love at their house. And a lot for you to love at your house.
It says Laura Knight on the bottom of the royal mug, look her up! Always look at the bottom of pottery and the back of paintings to establish history, potter, studio etc.
Sealer jar with metal ring and glass top is for canning. Glass top is upside down - A rubber ring is placed on glass top to seal rubber to jar edge when food is water bath or pressure canned to preserve.
The “bulbs” you found in the attic are actually tubes used in old analogue radios and black and white TVs. I remember having to change tubes on old radios from the 1950s. The fact that the tubes are Soviet manufactured might give them a bit of value. Old radio collectors and old tube collectors might pay an attractive price.
Hey youngster! Those funny "light bulbs" are VACUUM TUBES - which were the functional components of radios and televisions before the invention of the transistor.... used to take them to your local radio shop, or even find a DIY test machine in your pharmacy when the telly stopped working.
If you can get Bar Keepers Friend cleanser in Canada, it could be very useful to you for many of items the attic is disgorging. It's a powdered product that cleans up many different kinds of materials without scratching or damaging the finish. Love the attic videos!
The light with the battery is usually used by miners. That's the same style my father used here coal mining in WV. Usually the miners didn't take them from the mine, they were charged on a large rack but occasionally the miners would keep them when new ones were purchased. The light would slot into a spot on the front of a miner's helmet. The cord would fit into straps over the top and back of the helmet and the battery pack would be clipped onto their belt. I wouldn't be surprised if you found a helmet or lunch bucket up there. I have my dad's helmet and bucket but my brothers took his lights when he died.
@@marshawargo7238 I think dad called his a cap but I might be wrong since it's been 26 years. Us poor outsiders just don't know anything. Hats, caps, helmets, guess we just gotta be thankful they were actually protecting their noggin. 😉 My dad never wore a helmet on his ATV or motorcycle. He never used any safety gear with power tools.
The following guesses are In the order of your presentation (almost): Pram, from the French préambule (baby pusher) not quite an antique yet. This one seems to be circa 1935. Broken circular wine glass rack, or perhaps a tobacco pipe rack? Your “fun” tool is a paint scraper (used for small oddly shaped spots). If you have a mudroom (place to change out of your winter or muddy boots) use the hefty bed frame as the back for a bench.* 1970’s era brass multi-tiered light fixture: save the crystals, chuck or donate the rest of it simply because it will need to be rewired. Very dirty 1930’s linoleum, dry and brittle, but if cleanable it could be used as lower cabinet liner for the kitchen. Perhaps you don’t have light bulbs, but could they be old style radio tubes? * Use the handmade floral needlepoint as a bench seat cover for the mudroom bench. So far all of your episodes have been informative, interesting and fun. Keep up the good work, and yes please, more hoarded attic episodes! Corgi shots are also welcomed.
My best friend's mother was a jazz musician who played a lot of nightclubs and her customers (who she called her "cookies" for some reason) used to always get her little piano music boxes that all played "The Entertainer," which is cute when it's one, but SUPER CREEPY when it's a closet full of them that all play randomly all by themselves from the same location.
Today, separating jigsaw puzzle pieces is what occupies my time as I listen to your video. Absolutely love reading the comments from everyone who is able to identify your treasures!
3:11 that's a collectors' spoon rack! I have a similar one (not in the shape of a violin though lol). My grandmother used to collect spoons whenever she was traveling, and I started the same habit when I was a kid.
There were many vacuum tubes (like the not-a-light-bulb you found) in old TVs & radios, and they occasionally burned out. My small town had a drug store with a tube test machine to plug in your tubes to find out which one was bad. I'm sure every town had a business with one of them. Early computers were massive because they were filled with vacuum tubes (before transistors/semiconductors). Side note: That drug store was also where we took the film from our cameras to be developed. 👵👵👵👵👵
3:18 can’t say I’ve ever seen a violin shaped souvenir spoon holder before. There are SO many at our op shops. I bought two with glass doors so I can remove the spoon racks and use them as shadow boxes.
This was so entertaining!!! Hysterical a young lady sitting with boxes of history and commitmenting not know what stuff is. I just love this but sure feel super OLD now hahaha So many valuable items you have there, just so many. You could dedicate a room and sell tickets just to all these artifacts. Tours of the houses history wld pay for your house n upkeep 😂😂😂 love this so so much. Only to be young again 🤦♀️👀🤗
I can only imagine what someone wld pay for those TV bulbs to get an old TV working again. KEEP THEM too!!! My Poppop used to fix TVs back in 50's thru 80's. I saw a ton of those bulbs being replaced.
The amber oil lamp is from the '60s. I have the same one my aunt gifted me in the mid-sixties. She bought it at a souvenir shop at Grant's Park Zoo in Atlanta when I was visiting one weekend.
I have a suggestion for you. How about you make the laser projects and sell them to us. I’d just have to paint them when I get them. I’d be happy to buy some from you. I know you’re not busy. 😂. I love how you reused the creepy headless men.
You found a bunch of vacuum valves aka vacuum tubes. It is used for old radios, old TV sets etc. Not many companies produce them anymore but are still sought out for those specialising in old radio and television sets.
Love the laser!! The big circle thing is a clothing rack top. The wood violin may be a rack for violin bows. The curlers are for perms. That light with crystals is cool and would be neat rewired and shined up. Coat rack is cool and could be fixed. AND, Yes please to Christmas decor from previous owners!!
Those light bulbs are actually tubes for radios, very old TV's and vintage rock and roll amps. These can be very valuable. Audiophiles also use tubes for high end music amplifiers.
Love the cursed objects 😂 Also, after we cleaned our new house’s attic, we had a few MCM objects that we needed help identifying. I found taking a photo and reverse image search extremely helpful. It brought me to eBay so I knew an approximate value and had a possible history.

Not a light bulb, but a vacuum tube for a radio, TV, or other vintage electronic gear. They are collectible!

Yes! lol.
I know it’s a pain in the backside but it would be nice to see those old tubes go to someone who collects and repairs old radios and tvs.
@@cynthiadugan858Yes, a collector will pay a good amount for them. It could help pay for another project. Very cool!

I thought it was a pipe holder as well, looks similar to one my father had when I was a child.
I remember going with my Dad to the hardware store to use the tube testing machine!
Ooh here I thought the spoked thing would hold some big paintbrushes hehe
Oh daaahling that’s not a stroller. It’s a pram. A much haughtier word for a stroller of this level.
yes pram is short for perambulator
@@angelavine7812yes it’s for perambulating in the park or square. If you have a mind for perambulation, that is.
Or a baby buggy as in, rubber baby buggy bumpers😂!
I have an old wicker one sitting on my balcony, I filled it with faux flowers and it looks beautiful year round while requiring no care.
AKA baby carriage.
The Edward 8 mug could be quite valuable. He abdicated before the coronation.

Also, I think that mug is original to the coronation in '37, both by virtue of its style and also because Edward became a black sheep after he abdicated--I don't think the Crown was much into commemorating him, ahem. (So this is the perfect royal mug for a non-fan like you, LOL!) Plus Dame Knight was about 60 at the time and in the prime of her success, so it makes sense.

So cool that you acknowledge John Gilkey. It was that particular tour of Cirque de Soliel that we discovered and both our sons would watch that segment of the video over and over and over to the point that I have the sound track of Yma Sumac burned into my memory. I never knew that's who was actually doing the tricks. As a family we were utterly enthralled by his skill! Thank you for solving the mystery almost 30 years later!
You could use those hooks from the broken coat rack as part of a backed bench with hooks on it for your bedroom. Thanks for sharing your 'chaos into order" attic play.
Waiting for the Shannon Makes/Ariel Bissett collab where they make custom wallpaper or tiles or something together 😂
yes PLEASE
The canning jar, the glass lid would be turned over with rubber ring around the edge of the lid, to seal the jar. I have found the jar rings at Home Hardware. In my jar like that I have old marbles.
Marbles always look nice in antique glass jars.
As a home canner, the jar is old, 1930s or maybe older, you need a rubber gasket between the lip of the jar and the glass top, those are still available. It is a very good 3 piece canning set up and it is infinitely reusable, as long as all the sealing surfaces are sound. The only thing that would make it better, would be if it was the light blue, that's how we can tell age of a jar here.
The embroidered covering looks like it was made for a piano seat or a window seat.
I'm sure Shannon already knows this, but for anyone who doesn't -- the fake snow on some antique Christmas ornaments was made of asbestos, so take care with them.
The wooden "fibre arts" thing is, I think, a cooking utensil holder. And the hand plane thing might be a spokeshave.
It looks like a pipe stand Someone I knew once had. (smoking pipes)
@@cynrich1 Oh, that could be,
@@cynrich1it’s great to use them for holding different types of scissors. We use them when we can find them for holding various embroidery type scissors.
The large, heavy baby carriage is called a pram. The Barbies look new. That big round thing is a clothing rack from the department store.
The items you thought were bulbs are resistors or capacitors for old radios or TVs, the bladed item looks like a spoke shave for wood working and the item with the broken spoke looks like a pipe stand
Yes, to old radios, tvs, electronics of yesteryear. Vacuum Tubes.
The round wooden device you thought was for fiber art is a pipestand/pipe holder. The tubes in the boxes with Cyrillic are TV tubes or vacuum tubes.
YES!! Decorating for Christmas with the old stuff (that you have to like, of course, would be so fun--and make a great video as well.
I love that idea about the CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS decorating your home
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED you pulling that cart across the screen that was so cute!!!!
yay!!
Old television bulbs , smoking pipe holder. I can hardly wait until the next video! Love to the pup!❤
Shannon the wooden thing that you thought looks like a plane is call a spokeshave. The blade is sharpened to shave off wood as you draw it toward you while holding the handles. It could have been used for many things such as barrel making or general wood shaving. We have a number of this antique tools and it could be cleaned up to use.
thank you 🤗
@@ShannonMakes, yes it is I have one and love it. Really works well. Many furniture makers have them. Really easy to work with.
Make some want to send it to Liam, the Irish content creator who does wood working.
Your dolls with no heads are awesome!!!
Thank you!! From last week's antique video - using them to decorate for Halloween was actually a viewer suggestion!
Please keep them for future use. They are so unexpectedly creepy that they make great Halloween decorations@@ShannonMakes
I so appreciate how you value old things--such as the hinge. Your house is FULL of wonderful discoveries! ♥
Those glass bulbs look like old tubes that used to go inside and power antique TVS. Could be valuable since they are not made anymore, but might make a old TV work, if you can find one in the house. Russia probably is the only country that still make them, since they have old TVs still. Probably were ordered from Russia to fix an antique TV
Thank you so much!
I am so loving the attic fides. You can clean up the baby stroller and use it to store stuff in your future crafting studio. There is a lot of stuff to let someone else love at their house. And a lot for you to love at your house.
It says Laura Knight on the bottom of the royal mug, look her up! Always look at the bottom of pottery and the back of paintings to establish history, potter, studio etc.
Sealer jar with metal ring and glass top is for canning. Glass top is upside down - A rubber ring is placed on glass top to seal rubber to jar edge when food is water bath or pressure canned to preserve.
The “bulbs” you found in the attic are actually tubes used in old analogue radios and black and white TVs. I remember having to change tubes on old radios from the 1950s. The fact that the tubes are Soviet manufactured might give them a bit of value. Old radio collectors and old tube collectors might pay an attractive price.
thank you 🤗
Hey youngster! Those funny "light bulbs" are VACUUM TUBES - which were the functional components of radios and televisions before the invention of the transistor.... used to take them to your local radio shop, or even find a DIY test machine in your pharmacy when the telly stopped working.
🎸🎶 some people started cleaning it not knowing what it was, and now they will continue cleaning it forever just because, 🎶🎶🎶🎸
exactlyyyy
If you can get Bar Keepers Friend cleanser in Canada, it could be very useful to you for many of items the attic is disgorging. It's a powdered product that cleans up many different kinds of materials without scratching or damaging the finish. Love the attic videos!
Also, for most metals, Maas polish does a great job and you don’t have to identify the metal first
The guitar/violin thing looks like it’s a spoon holder. Not the kind of spoons we eat from but the little spoons that are souvenirs/tchotchke.
Thank you 😊
The light with the battery is usually used by miners. That's the same style my father used here coal mining in WV. Usually the miners didn't take them from the mine, they were charged on a large rack but occasionally the miners would keep them when new ones were purchased. The light would slot into a spot on the front of a miner's helmet. The cord would fit into straps over the top and back of the helmet and the battery pack would be clipped onto their belt. I wouldn't be surprised if you found a helmet or lunch bucket up there. I have my dad's helmet and bucket but my brothers took his lights when he died.
My son would say "it's a hard hat ma, I ain't no knight!"😂 OR "I work, I'm not in the army!" Can you tell that I Won't Stop calling it a helmet😂?!!!
@@marshawargo7238 I think dad called his a cap but I might be wrong since it's been 26 years. Us poor outsiders just don't know anything. Hats, caps, helmets, guess we just gotta be thankful they were actually protecting their noggin. 😉 My dad never wore a helmet on his ATV or motorcycle. He never used any safety gear with power tools.
thank you! 🤗
❤❤❤❤ OH BOY!!! SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR ATTIC TREASURES!! Love seeing it getting cleaned up too!!❤❤❤❤
yay!
They are every Christmas gift they didn’t like but couldn’t get rid off ❤
Yes please decorate for Christmas using those ornaments. Should be very interesting.
Yes, to decorating the house with attic Christmas finds!
You don't know the tale of The Headless Scotsmen?! Haha, great use of them!
The following guesses are In the order of your presentation (almost):
Pram, from the French préambule (baby pusher) not quite an antique yet. This one seems to be circa 1935.
Broken circular wine glass rack, or perhaps a tobacco pipe rack?
Your “fun” tool is a paint scraper (used for small oddly shaped spots).
If you have a mudroom (place to change out of your winter or muddy boots) use the hefty bed frame as the back for a bench.*
1970’s era brass multi-tiered light fixture: save the crystals, chuck or donate the rest of it simply because it will need to be rewired.
Very dirty 1930’s linoleum, dry and brittle, but if cleanable it could be used as lower cabinet liner for the kitchen.
Perhaps you don’t have light bulbs, but could they be old style radio tubes?
* Use the handmade floral needlepoint as a bench seat cover for the mudroom bench.
So far all of your episodes have been informative, interesting and fun. Keep up the good work, and yes please, more hoarded attic episodes! Corgi shots are also welcomed.
Sovtek tubes are vacuum tubes for amplification for speakers. Guitar amps
That’s a very old mason jar! I’m crying over that broken green urn/vase. It would have been a valuable item.
My best friend's mother was a jazz musician who played a lot of nightclubs and her customers (who she called her "cookies" for some reason) used to always get her little piano music boxes that all played "The Entertainer," which is cute when it's one, but SUPER CREEPY when it's a closet full of them that all play randomly all by themselves from the same location.
omg... that IS creepy 🫠
Today, separating jigsaw puzzle pieces is what occupies my time as I listen to your video. Absolutely love reading the comments from everyone who is able to identify your treasures!
The violin shaped piece with the slots is a collectable spoon display. One of my aunts had one like that and 5 or 6 others.
3:11 that's a collectors' spoon rack! I have a similar one (not in the shape of a violin though lol). My grandmother used to collect spoons whenever she was traveling, and I started the same habit when I was a kid.
🥄🥄🥄😍
There were many vacuum tubes (like the not-a-light-bulb you found) in old TVs & radios, and they occasionally burned out. My small town had a drug store with a tube test machine to plug in your tubes to find out which one was bad. I'm sure every town had a business with one of them. Early computers were massive because they were filled with vacuum tubes (before transistors/semiconductors). Side note: That drug store was also where we took the film from our cameras to be developed. 👵👵👵👵👵
Ooooooh! Laser cutter!!!!! So excited to see all the things you do with it 🤩
I am lowkey very jealous 😅
It's been way, way too much fun so far 🤣🤣 If we had more time, there'd be SO MANY Halloween and Christmas decorations!
I would love to see you do a tree with all of the ornaments from the attic. I think it would be very cool.
30 seconds in, and the fact that you just quoted the Lamb Chop's Playalong end credits song has made my day! That show was my childhood favorite!
🐑🐑🐑
I love that, too! My mom was a Shari Lewis fan. Can you tell? I had a friend give me a Lamb Chop puppet for Christmas several years ago.
Now I have an ear worm…😂
Now imagine playing a state fair with her daughter and hearing that song four times a day for two weeks.
3:18 can’t say I’ve ever seen a violin shaped souvenir spoon holder before. There are SO many at our op shops. I bought two with glass doors so I can remove the spoon racks and use them as shadow boxes.
those wall scrolls were so pretty and also after reading the comments, I will now be on the hunt for my own violin shaped spoon holder
Take mine, I don't play violin nor do I collect spoons🤣
This was so entertaining!!! Hysterical a young lady sitting with boxes of history and commitmenting not know what stuff is. I just love this but sure feel super OLD now hahaha So many valuable items you have there, just so many. You could dedicate a room and sell tickets just to all these artifacts. Tours of the houses history wld pay for your house n upkeep 😂😂😂 love this so so much. Only to be young again 🤦♀️👀🤗
I can only imagine what someone wld pay for those TV bulbs to get an old TV working again. KEEP THEM too!!! My Poppop used to fix TVs back in 50's thru 80's. I saw a ton of those bulbs being replaced.
Painted velvet scrolls were very popular after the vietnam war esp in the 70's and 80's
Violin bracket looks like a collectors spoon bracket or pipes
thank you, nobody else has commented on the scrolls!
@@ShannonMakesMy mum had a couple of those in the 70s.The Barbies are early 80s by the looks of them.
The amber oil lamp is from the '60s. I have the same one my aunt gifted me in the mid-sixties. She bought it at a souvenir shop at Grant's Park Zoo in Atlanta when I was visiting one weekend.
Loving this rummage sale in your attic. So fun to see all the stuff.
The headless Scotsmen as Halloween decorations!😂😂 Too much!
Right?!
I had to pause the video to say- please!! Make “Shannon go smash” merch 😂
lolol except the actual joke is that it's Phil's catchphrase, because he is usually the one to go 'smash'!!
I have a suggestion for you. How about you make the laser projects and sell them to us. I’d just have to paint them when I get them. I’d be happy to buy some from you. I know you’re not busy. 😂. I love how you reused the creepy headless men.
You found a bunch of vacuum valves aka vacuum tubes. It is used for old radios, old TV sets etc. Not many companies produce them anymore but are still sought out for those specialising in old radio and television sets.
Love the laser!! The big circle thing is a clothing rack top. The wood violin may be a rack for violin bows. The curlers are for perms. That light with crystals is cool and would be neat rewired and shined up. Coat rack is cool and could be fixed.
AND, Yes please to Christmas decor from previous owners!!
The viewers are so smart and well informed. Nice exchange of information!
well, take them with a grain of salt... some would have me believing that my spokeshave is a yoke for plowing 🙃
It'd be nice to see the Christmas decorations after you sort them out.
Those light bulbs are actually tubes for radios, very old TV's and vintage rock and roll amps. These can be very valuable. Audiophiles also use tubes for high end music amplifiers.
Thank you 😊
Those Scottish kilted figurines are wearing the Nova Scotia tartan. Obviously handmade locally. The Nova Scotia tartan is so very pretty!
I would love to see your house with the old Xmas decorations 🤣🎄🎅🏻
Love the cursed objects 😂 Also, after we cleaned our new house’s attic, we had a few MCM objects that we needed help identifying. I found taking a photo and reverse image search extremely helpful. It brought me to eBay so I knew an approximate value and had a possible history.
You’re so lucky to have inherited the dream treasure attic. 😍
🎶if it only had a floor🎵😂!
omg, @marshawargo7238 I sung this in my head!!
🎶 I could while away the hours/ saving all that’s in my power/ including the hand plane 🎶
Omg, that baby buggy is really an antique and still looks good.
