The quilt you were talking about is a called sampler block quilts and back in the day when you wanted to learn how to quilt you would take lessons and you would make these sample blocks using practice fabrics that were not very nice, but the purpose was to learn how to make the quilt blocks before you cut into any fabric that you considered precious for your best quilt.
I have that problem at the minute George. I have a few vintage fisher price toys which are complete and near mint inc boxes. I’m aware that I could make more money by parting them out but it hurts my heart to do that……so they’re in the attic while I think about it some more.
I have one of those pillowcases that was sent by my dad to my mom from Fort Knox - Korean War. Yes I lived in KY from the time I was 6 weeks old until I was about two. And as my husband used to say "and then she got shoes"
@@TheAntiqueNomad We actually lived in Vine Grove. I have no memory of it at all but when I get tired - some KY accent comes out - which on top of my Long Island accent is very strange sounding.
Hello George and Xeno, I sure enjoy watching these videos,I watch new ones ,old ones,hell I just watch all I can. I also want to thank you for teaching us all,older like me and the younger folks who will be buying all this just like we did. Best entertainment on tv to date
Ice cream really does solve everything. Sorry I missed the premier. Sat down to watch Jeopardy and fell asleep - woke up at nearly 9:30 p.m. It's always great shopping with you whether you buy a lot of stuff or only a few things.
Good evening to you, George! That incolay plate was really pretty. It actually would've looked good in the frame that was behind it. I've always wanted one of the cobalt sailboat beverage sets, but I prefer the pitcher not have the ice lips. OMG...those blue bow geese...I think I'll have to take a pill 😂 That 1950s cannister set was in great condition, and it was pretty. I liked that blue beverage set, when you were showing the pink vase. It looked like, from what I could see of it, that it might have been a Northwood set. That turquoise flip-top rubbish can interested me. I like the old print block trays. They make great wall displays for minis. Those looked like really fun places to shop! Thanks for taking us along!!!
I was surprised to be as fond of an Incolay piece as I was of that one! I usually like ice lip pitchers better but agree with you on that one, somehow the design gets clunky with it. I should've checked out the Northwood set, it was fun shopping with others but I got easily distracted! You and other viewers also mentioned the turquoise can, it was so inexpensive but we were too many people in a small car for me to get it. Thanks for coming with us!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm usually not a big fan of Incolay, either, but that one was nice. Most of the ice lipped pitchers are a bit newer than I like. I don't think I've ever seen a Victorian Era or really early C20 pitcher with them. Of all the beverage sets I have, there might be four of them with a pitcher with the ice lips. That turquoise can, for some reason, really caught my eye. The colour was still really good on it, and it looked like it would clean up nicely. A good coat of automotive wax would do wonders for it, too. Those places really did look like good places to shop for bargains.
George, I have the bread box to match the red amarillyis canister set. It was gifted to me by a dear friend. Love it! And as always, another wonderful & educational video. Blessings from Texas 🤗🦋
The quilt with all the blocks named reminds me of one we made in my first quilt class back in the mid 80's . There was a book called The Sampler Quilt that we used.
Way back in the day, people did not let family sleep under a drunkards path believing the child would grow up to be a drunkard. May of those patterns the pieces can be re rearranged to make other patterns. I adore old quilts, esp the all hand pieced and quilted. I'm not so talented but do love to smock and sew clothing.
I'had never heard that bit of old-time superstition! Thanks for the interesting detail and happy sewing, I have a quilter friend who just loves doing it
I was thrilled to see that blue sailboat set for $75, as I have it from my parents! I must check to see if I have the plates too. Love learning from you ❤❤❤❤
Hello! I received the 1975 EMERGENCY Jigsaw Puzzle today. It arrived ship shape, Thank You!! Didn’t need it but it was inexpensive enough to buy it from you for a conversation piece. Tell me, are ALL the tiny pieces to the puzzle really in the can? Judy in Texas ❤
I was hoping that you would say the pieces were verified as being all there! I’m your subscriber that continues to mention from time to time that I cannot for the life of me upgrade my membership. I used a computer for years, both at work, with a Regional Office of a Federal Cabinet Level Department until retirement and my own computer until it recently “died.” I purchased a powerful iPad with lots of bells and whistles rather than another computer. What I’m saying is I’m no dolt! I have more degrees than I care to mention. It’s a mystery to me why I’m having such difficulty in getting an upgrade done. While working in my profession, I did curated antiques shows on weekends unless I was in D.C. on temporary duty. I keep my toe in the water convinced once bitten by buying then selling is a lifetime malady! haha! I’m muddling along in my Level One Membership until I eventually “getter done.” ❤
@@TheAntiqueNomad Same thing goes with Marketplace. I do a lot of business there. I buy - I sell - I search for garage sales. But doggone it when you sell yoiur item or when your sale is over - take your ad down!
After visiting a higher end auction house for appraisal day I am just saddened. Americana hasn’t recovered since 2008. And told furniture has been hurt the most. Showed me sand art from the civil war is selling for big money but interest is lowering. I’ve never seen it anywhere.
I think it really depends what you sell. Some categories of collecting (1960s glass, vintage costume jewelry mid-century designer furniture) are soaring, while traditional furniture and old-line antiques are languishing. I'm not honestly experiencing a downturn anywhere near what we went through in 2008
Very glossy glaze around the signature, and usually not covering the entire bottom; lettering is slightly exaggerated and misshapen compared to original
I agree, the way store is arranged is appealing 😊
Hi George, fun to come along with the 4 of you ❤
George, thank you for the amount of history, of the items, you sharevwith us !!
Lots of variety in the store that always is more interesting to me !!

Thank you for the amplification! I see where it's a lesson for me too
Ice cream. A great way to end the day!
I love your videos because they are so long and you dont rush. ❤❤
It's always so much fun to spend the evening with you. Thanks for the tips
I gave the 👍 thumbs-up , right away! Always do 😊

I have Vargas calendars for the same reason!
0:49 As a child, I thought those fancy hall stands were thrones.
Love the way u say at the End that u got x amount of stuff worth x amount.
I have one of those pillowcases that was sent by my dad to my mom from Fort Knox - Korean War. Yes I lived in KY from the time I was 6 weeks old until I was about two. And as my husband used to say "and then she got shoes"
That's cool! Ft. Knox is so interestingly off by itself and sort of mysterious now

You , and the gang are a pleasure. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge. Peace
Thanks, it was fun to have new people along!

And that was super fantastic! U didn’t get much but it’s always fun seeing what each unique area has to offer.
So true!
Keep an eye out for the quilt show in Paducah Kentucky ( I think)
Yes! It's great, I've been once. It happens in April and I think September
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

I’m ashamed to say I would have bought those two life size plastic dogs 🙏🏻 What a great time you shared!❤️🐩
Excellent! Ty, George!❤❤❤

A video full of knowledge, thanks!
Thank you! I do wish you had told me more about that beautiful bed cover with what appeared to be matching dress dolls. 😊
I was thrilled to see that blue sailboat set for $75, as I have it from my parents! I must check to see if I have the plates too. Love learning from you ❤❤❤❤
Good evening 😊😊
Hello 😊
George thanks for the rag it was interesting and it was great😊😊
My pleasure!

Hi there! Fun conversation piece, I agree...that made me almost keep it myself! We did count 200 pieces.

Aladdin called this glass Alacite that they used on their table lamps.
Yes it's so nice the way it casts light
Xeno was voguing for the camera. Possibly a side hustle.
nice friends
If you have sale signs up, in NY you have to honor them.
We did a sweep of our malls daily and took down out-of-date sale signs. I'm not sure why that isn't a standard practice everywhere

LOVE that quilt!! Will you be selling it?
I couldn't afford it, you could contact the store directly though!
What are the prices on the WW2 souvenir pillow case/covers?
Hello, I'm just wondering do you ever do online appraisals? I live in Colorado but I have a couple of pieces of art.
Yes! Please go to theantiquenomad.com and hit the appraisals tab, it will lead you through the process
Comments support George's channel. Hint, hint 😂 I alwsys leave more than a few.
“Vaseline” glass was called canary by the glass companies.
Makes sense, since Vaseline hadn't been invented yet
George how do I reach you about an appraisal on an estate?
Please email me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com
U tube stop messing with my screen

@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you very much
😊❤👍
george ..why not leave xeno at home with his embarrassing top knot. He can watch Tv and not have to be seen in public.. hes got the brain of a cat.
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
