Finding Antiques & Vintage at Thrift Store Bargain Prices!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- An acre of antiques! An unexpected detour takes me to this place I've heard about for years, but have never seen. What treasures will a gigantic mall with hundreds of antique dealers offer?
This place is so big, and there's a ton to sift through! It's almost like having two antique malls in one place, where a huge bank of showcases feature specialists with railroad china, 1950s western memorabilia, Fenton baskets, vintage toys, toothpick holders, even cheese domes. We get to explore real depth in certain collecting categories, and we find bargains right away in a case full of railroad china at half off (yes, Hall China did make spittoons for rail riders!).
The rest of the mall is given over to huge spaces with a mix of everything. Sometimes it's great stuff, like a space full of discounted MCM furniture and wall art, or the spot with a railroad baggage cart piled high with oaken boxes and drawer sets! Sometimes it's random stuff, and we talk about the danger of mixing new stuff with old until the old all disappears. But more than anything, we spend a lot of time trying to find things in the many spaces giving discounts up to 50%, making it possible to buy everything from a Mexican Saltillo to an oversized Frankoma vase for price less than the Goodwill store!
In the end, we have a lot of fun, see a ton of stuff and understand how we will shop this store when we return to this Centerville, along Southeast Indiana's antique alley!

Love watching you, it’s like going to a school of my choice. The knowledge that you keep in your head and then bestow that upon us when appropriate, just stellar!
George, another Wonderful adventure , You go to the newest places and see the most fabulous things.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
So true. He is truly phenominal.
I appreciate you sharing your vast amount of knowledge with us George. Im so happy Crazy Lamp Lady shared you with us awhile back. She is also on my top list of videos. Just love her and her family. I just cant get enough of your videos. I learn so much from you. You are a kind soul George. Hi to Xeno as well. Thank you fir sharing your years of knowledge and know how! Love love love watching you!
Just amazing to watch your videos esp. when you travel from state to state and show us all those wonderful vintage and antique items. Wish to tag along with you.😊❤🎉👍Keep on showing us wonderful finds! Be safe in your travels,be well.
The Heywood-Wakefield piece was beautiful 😍
Thank you George, for your visit to and video from the Centerville Antique Mall!
I’ve been there several times and I always find things that I love! I once bought a beautiful, restored antique Hoosier cupboard from there ( 30+ years ago) and it is still quite beautiful and holds a special place of honor in my kitchen!
Please be safe in your travels, wherever you go and enjoy every day…🥰🎶☮️💟
Alabama also has a Centreville, in the middle of the state. Dis you know about the Hwy 127 sale that is a continuous sale from Gasxen, Alabama all the way to Michigan? But on rural roads.
I’m so glad you made it to the Centerville Antique Mall! (My Mall) I was happy to see you there. It was a surprise when I clicked on it. Thank You for coming. And you showed my case with the gold miner license plate. What a kick! I wish I could have been there to watch you film. We have had some turnover lately hopefully we’ll get more vintage and antique coming in. Thanks again so much, what a kick!
I am enjoed that 400 mile yardsale in KY. We went on 100 miles of it, starting on the Dixi HYW right out of Cincinnati. Take care 😊
I love the Weller Aetna vase, the colors are very appealing!
I agree, if I'm going to a vintage/antique shop that's what I want to see. I can get new items anywhere else!
As a Brit I love watching your vids George.Sometimes I hear you mention British firms like Shelley and Denby and I’m like “ ooh I know those ones well!” Sometime you venture into middle ground, Europe, and I get to hear names I’m a bit familiar with like Goebel & Lomonosov. But the majority of stuff you talk about is fascinating as we just don’t have the brands, advertising, or even way of life that creates some of the things you have over that side of the pond. .
Love the Fenton baskets. So pretty, especially the green twist and the blue.
That big white McCoy pitcher is handsome and looks useful.
I just learned from you in this video that the blue compote I received as a wedding present in 1968 is a Westmoreland lotus pattern. I've been wondering about that since I've started watching thrifting videos. The one you showed is red but I'm sure it's the same pattern as mine. Thanks.
Really love the Murano glass
Thank you so much, George, for sharing your knowledge with us. Always a pleasure to watch ❤
Passed up the Halloween Fiesta Ware!! Luncheon plates and mugs are selling for no less than $35 each!
Beautiful glass. What a selection to admire. Hope you have a fun travel day. Thanks George
Thanks again George, always learning from you. 😊 blessings from Texas 🦋🦇
Agree with your comment about antique dealers writing on ephemera. Disappointing and unfortunately quite common here in the central valley of California. A half penny poly bag with a sticker would solve a problem that doesn't need to happen and it's a bad look for the dealer.
My sign was no trespassing. 😏
I love learning. I do appreciate how you generously share your knowledge. Cheers to you. 🙂👍
That 70s couch was everything!
Thank you for talking about the history of what u pick up!
Nice tour. Thanks. Eerily quite in that place though ,really got the feeling of a formerly booming place at the tail end of a more prosperous era. Makes one wonder if certain middle of the road names will ever be as popular again i.e. Roseville, Redwing, Mc Coy, Metlock, Bauer, Franciscanware,or even somewhat higher end less 'workaday', Lalique,Wedgewood,Fostoria, Stuben, Limoges, etc. etc. I believe you even said in this video, (I'm paraphrasing) 'this dealers got things priced as though it's 30 years ago' ,and in past videos , 'at that price that's gonna continue to sit on that shelf', when in fact 20 or even as recently as 15 years ago, the item in question would have easily brought what was being asked. The only glaring exceptions seem to be advertising pieces, which kind of used to fall into, in my mind ,the broader category of rustics or farm antiques almost, in that they were not domestic items (bowls, dishes, glass wares, linens, furnishings) and certainly not 'fine antiques', or antique art, or fine art and sculpture pieces. The other exception being kitchy (dare I say,tacky?) items, and toys (even a lot of the low end cheap toys of their particular era of manufacture!) I can feel myself getting ready to 'soapbox' about recognition of worth, quality of design, and the sensibilities and tastes of the new era consumers, but anyway I will stop instead, and say, "thanks for having us along".
You find the best places to share with us. Thank you😊 I wish clear glass didn't have such a bad reputation; its so beautiful 😍
Really enjoyed the tour. Thank you, George.😊
My first time watching one of your videos, you have a lot of knowledge
I will be watching more
Thank you 😊
Safe travels!!
End of day was a dealer name for multicolor glass. There was no left over glass at the end of the work day in glass factories. The glass furnaces were closed up and reopened again in the morning.
Thank you George.
I was hoping you would look at the Aesthetic Movement covered dish at 19:27 next to the Roseville Cosmos. I sold one to a collector and hope I got a good price!
Love it! Basket = Bowl with a handle. So simple, so true
You have an amazing knowledge and are an excellent speaker. So glad I found your show online. Thank you for the excellence of your show.😅
I'm so glad you did too! Thank you for watching and I'm glad it's fun for you like it is for me
Such knowledge, quality content! So many UA-cam videos lack in time and content. Thank you. I have renewed enthusiasm for the vintage and antique items I love!
It is so refreshing to watch someone who knows his business. So many are guessing or giving inaccurate descriptions. You are a gem.
I luv pinecones
The New Paris Antique Mall in New Paris Ohio is just off of i70 not far from there. Historic 3 story building with full basement. All floors filled with real antiques and vintage!
Bonsoir, George! Ohhh...those castor sets would've had me going nuts! Even if I had to install shelves for them... OMG! there was a Dr Pepper thermometer. I wasn't expecting to see that. It would've had to come with me, for sure. I liked that old churn. I have my great-grandmother's five-gallon churn and my grandmother's three-gallon churn, both with the original dashers. I've always wanted one of those smaller hand-cranked ones. The prices seem to be going up a bit on those. I would've gone nuts with the hair receivers, too. I really liked the "Addams Evil" book. I've always liked the cheese keepers. Mom had a super-nice flow blue one, and my brother has it now. Like you, I don't like when "antique" malls allow new stuff in them. The table just above the chaise lounge was phenomenal. I really liked the look of it. The prices there seemed really good. That space that had the 50% off sign, then marked the items "Firm"...what's the point of the 50% off sign? Thanks for taking us along shopping with you!!!
I thought you'd enjoy seeing a little Dr. Pepper there! I like castor sets but am spoiled and only would want a colored one. It was fun to see so many varieties in one place!
It seems so nice that a lot of family items have come down to you. The churns are neat and harder to find now. Flow blue cheese keeper...I think the most beautifully deep flow blue piece I ever saw was one of those.
I didn't know about 'Addams Evil' until adulthood, but I remember my sister showing me one of his circa 1960 books in my parents' bookcase and getting me hooked, I hadn't seen the show at that point so it was a wonderful new discovery.
Hate seeing new stuff in "antique" malls. Agree fully about "50% off, excluding almost everything" signs. But it was a fun mall, and I'm glad you enjoyed coming along!
I’d be missing for a few days in that mall lol. If you’re a collector, so many choices to make . A reseller , well less choices as you have to watch the asking price . Thanks for the great video .
Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks George! I always learn something new by watching your videos!
I had never seen the Franciscan strawberry one...that was wonderful. I am so glad you love dishes and glass..thanks George. You never cease to amaze me..and connect me to my true home...NW..and a place i want to check out the real Florida...and being a lover of what Dad calls stoof.
I really enjoy getting to show all this stuff, and my NW roots come out when I get up there! I'm glad I get to share my enthusiasm with you!
Love your videos. Your are such a wealth of knowledge. I love your wit as well.❤
I loved seeing the Metlox Pottery. I have service for 12 + a few serving pieces in the Vintage Pink pattern.
Thank you for explaining why people were saving hair beyond remembrance -- I have wondered about the uses everytime I see a hair receiver.
Hi again, subscribed , i have been beng watching and learn8ng a lot from you! Thanks
About 10 minutes down the road from that mall is National Antique Mall-I love sourcing there!
I hear that's a really good one! There's apparently a bunch in that area.
What a wealth of information!
Love this antique mall. So many items I would love to have. You have such great will power. Thanks for sharing the adventure 😀.
Table toppers are fun
I've seen those hair keepers before, but I had no idea that the hair was used for things around the house!
I can not imagine having all your knowledge...so wonderful to listen to you and hope to retain even a small amount of all you know...thank you sharing ❤❤❤
Love your videos. You are such a wealth of knowledge.
You breadth and depth of knowledge is astounding, sir!
Lots to see and explore, lots of fun 😊
Some great examples of American made items!
Thank you for the the amazing journey through time! Hugs!
Interested in the old Batman push car in the video. My son is a collector and I would like to get it for him.
This was great!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!❤
Great education -thanks for all your knowledge. I enjoyed the variety and again you are so smart-so informative.
Informative as always. And what a great intro.
Hi George, I am sorry I missed the Premiere today. Thanks for the reminder about newer Fiesta with Halloween patterns. I love both Fiesta and Halloween. I ordered a few plates and ramekins tonight so I will enjoy them this Fall. 🎃 Thanks!
There were some interesting things in there but quite a bit of the newer stuff too. Seen some pricing that is way beyond the scope too. The thing with sales that get me is they overprice stuff and then put a fifty percent off on it all. I have seen booths that are always on sale so it makes me wonder. Depending on what I see there will depend on whether I walk away or look a bit. Have a great day and safe travels
I’ve been there. I miss those days when they had all antiques!
I was thinking the same thing,,the dealer ruined the front cover,,I collect mystical,,fortune telling vintage ephemera and they're HTf 😢,,.love learning everything ❤
Wow, that place is huge 😮
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Every time I watch your videos I learn something! Thank you for taking the time to teach us the ins and outs of antiques!
16:53 Jeffrey would like that! He loves ivy stuff. 28:31 The middle vase looks like a recognizable Chribska style. I mis-identified it!
I have a Bing Grondahl piece for you I forgot to bring Saturday. 😬
34:15 haha! UA-cam isn’t letting me edit. That Kay Finch seems larger than the usual. Is it a trick of the camera?
No, it was one of her larger pieces
@@TheAntiqueNomad I’ve still not seen one in person…
Enjoying the content of your video
Another fantastic adventure with you, George. As always, I have lots of catching up to do. Thanks for all the fun and info.❤️
Learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you.
Great advice and as always good info.
nice stuff,, wow
Great voice and loving your presentation! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I agree George love watching you, you ate so knowledgeable about so many things. Thank you.
You should see him in live action. It’s mind-blowing.
i lear alot from you. thanks. great video
Thanks I love all the Vintage Ceramics & Glass!
Thanks George!👌💪
I think the "buzz" in the bread sign is because it's made with 🍯 honey
I'm learning so much from you George. Thanks you !!!!! Really interesting stuff.
I always learn new things when watching your videos. Thanks George!! Safe travels!
What a great shop!
George -- I love picking up the big truck horns at great prices. Why? Flip them over and they are great for hat display!
Always learn something new from you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
I always learn a lot!
Fantastic prices!
George, are you familiar with Pennsbury Pottery, Pennsylvania? The factory burned down in 1977. Pennsylvania Dutch, mostly browns, some commemorative.
Great educational video as I've come to expect. Thank you
Thank you. I love watching your videos so much information. Always learn every time!
Thank you for another informative video.
Thanx for sharing. God Bess!
So strange to see the Zodiak plate marked Torrington, Connecticut. That is where I live. The only collage here was a branch of the University of Connecticut.
Happy trails to you!
Great stuff 🎉. I love seeing things that I have in my collection.❤
Really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing lots of things I saw and loved
I was thinking of this today- do you ever see anything from Yield House? They were a catalog company in the 60s-70s that I remember because they sold a lot of reproduction kits. I imagine many of those pieces of furniture smalls are out there.
I imagine there are pieces they sold out there but may not have their name on them
Doing a bit of binging, George 😂 so , I am back
Hi George. Great stuff!
I love your channel. I learn a lot.
I’m learning so much from you thank you 😊
💐 💐 💐
The bread was 'buzzin' b/c it had bee honey in it.
