UV reactive glass is called "Uranium glass" I have a few old collectors dishes made from Uranium glass
I love watching you two every day!
You might say I binge watch 😉
As a disabled person..
It free's my mind to dream of the things I used to be and do in my life...🤗 so thank you very much!!
My grandmother (born 1900) instructed me that when approaching a tunnel on a train trip, I should pull out my hat pin so any "mashers" would know that I was not to be triffled with. I pointed out that I possessed neither a hat pin nor a hat. She was rather put out with me about this. Then the ever practical woman said that perhaps I should just carry a knife. I really liked that old girl.
my grandpa gave me his old hip knife and told me to always clean it before I put it away. Like, grandpa, what did you think I was going to be doing with it?? I was 6. He was something else too. Here's to supportive family
i am reminded of the brilliantly written Amelia Peabody mysterious written by Elizabeth Peters, who really did have a doctorate in Egyptology. great archeological romps circa 1900, custom made heavy duty hat pins and parasols much in evidence.
A beautiful and charming story, Roxie!
When I was in my 20s & in an old fashioned 'corridoor' carraige of a train, (circa 1940s-50s carraiges with the corridoor running along one side of separate compartments), there was no space to sit in any of the compartments, so I stood in the corridoor with my rucksack beside me. I looked up to see an older man entering through the door at the end of the carraige & saw him talk to the also older guard. They appeared to be a similar age about 55-60 & seemed to know each other. The guard opened a flap by the door & operated some sort of switch before nodding to the man & passing on, along the corridoor, past me & through the door at the other, far end, into the next carraige. I had a bad feeling about the man & attempted to follow the guard through the far door only to find to my puzzlement that the guard must have locked the door behind him.
I came back up the corridoor thinking that I might try the next carraige in that direction but the man I had a bad feeling about, was standing in front of the door & only exit, so I just stood in the corridoor hoping he would go away. I wondered if I could squeeze into one of the compartments but there was no space to stand there.
Suddenly we were plunged into complete darkness as the train entered a long tunnel. In the total blackout I heard the suspicious man groping his way down the corridoor towards me. Now I was effectively trapped, with the door the guard had locked behind me. The only chance of avoiding this man was to hide & the only possible place to conceal myself was in the small cross corridoor which allowed people to exit the train on the opposite side to the main corridoor. To enter the cross corridoor I had to move towards the man in the total darkness, there was not a glimpse of light. I had to get to the junction of the corridoors before him & I had to do so without making a sound, so that he did not know where I was. I succeeded in moving into the cross corridoor & heard the man pass the junction as he moved on down the main corridoor. I quietly breathed a sigh of relief thinking that surely we would emerge from the tunnel any second now, but no. I heard the creepy man reach the far end of the corridoor & turn around & still we were in utter darkness.
The suspicious man must have realised that the only place I could be was in the cross corridoor. Hoping for the tunnel to end, I had left it too late to try the door the man had earlier been standing in front of. Now I was trapped in the short cross corridoor with no way out. I heard the man enter the cross corridoor breathing heavily. I could hear his hands groping at the wooden walls as he approached me. There was no way out. I backed as far as I could but I did not want to press against the external door in case it somehow accidentally opened. There was only one chance to avoid him. Silently, I crouched down against the door & made myself as small as I could with my bag on my back. The man was almost upon me. I heard his hands groping against the window above my head. I thought that any second the nasty creep would discover me with his knees or his hands & cringed away from him desperately.
Then after a few more seconds, that felt like it lasted for years, of hearing his breath right by me & meticulously controlling mine, so that he would not hear me above the background sounds of the train, he began to move again, he moved away from me still searching with his hands as he went back into the main corridoor & back towards the end door that he had earlier been standing in front of.
I did not want this man to even have the satisfaction of knowing I had been afraid enough to try to avoid him, so I now moved quickly, while it was still dark, back to my original position in the main corridoor.
When we emerged a second or two later from the tunnel. It would have looked to any observer as though neither of us had moved, he was by the door to the carraige. I was in the main corridoor with my bag. As daylight flooded the train I glared at him pointedly to let him know that I knew what he was about. I hope he wondered till his dying day where I could possibly have disappeared to.
This happened in about 1980 & I did not possess a hat pin. But when that unpleasant pair of male conspirators were young, women would have carried hat-pins & I imagine that is just the sort of situation in which one might have been deployed.
@@sarahstrong7174 WOW! What a story Sarah. Maybe it was Melbourne - Geelong, Australia. You should be a crime writer, you'd be good at that. My Mother used to say that her hat pins were her defense as well. Unfortunately, hats went out of fashion for everyday wear, so l never had any.
When my grandma and her sisters went out during the wartime blackout they used to keep a hat pin in their coat lapel in case they were attacked and needed to defend themselves!
We have recently found you channel and are quite enjoying watching your videos. You are a quiet respite from the goings on in today's chaotic world. Very nice to watch a wholesome channel where we don't have to subject ourselves to vulgarities. Bless you both!
Welcome! Great to have you join us xx
That disk shaped bead is called a rondel. It is similar to a lentil but the hole is through the center in a rondel and runs east/west or end to end in a lentil of course you could turn it north south. The rondels are often used as spacers between round beads
Thank you for that! 🥰
I so love your videos! I was feeling very lonely and you gave me company. Thank you for that. I send my love and appreciation.
It’s lovely to have you with us! 🥰 Hope you’re keeping well x
I send your videos to my mother in law and we watch at the same time. We say, IT'S TREASURE TIME! Then say what our favorite finds or quotes are. Thanks for taking part in our quality time. ❤️☺️
The plug at 28:42 is a plug for a vintage bed warmer
I would absolutely love to see how you organize your finds after you do the round up! You must have so many treasures at this point
Yup, I think they have to do a video with all their finds one day! Perhaps outside when it is a nice day...That would be a satisfying sight to see! 🙌🏼😂♥️
Me too!
Do you make jewelry or anything from your broken pottery finds??? So many beautiful pieces??? I would love to spend the day doing this. A bucket list item for sure!!!
When y'all go on the adventures i feel like i am right there looking around for things too...so wonderful of you ladies to bring old forgotten things back to life and share that with us all along the way. Bless you.
Gosh....packed with TREASURES!
👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍finds🥰
Soon as l hear the music of your video, l feel good inside and very relaxed.😊 then sit back and enjoy! 😍😍 thank you.xx
I think exactly the same Suzie.
Aww! That makes us so happy! 🥰
The little Kewpie body is wonderful. I would cut the top off clean and use it as a little vase! 😍 I love it so much!
Oh my goodness! That would be so cute! 🥰
Thank you again for talking me along with you !
The little cupie doll body would make a cute little planter
I do love those lenticular beads too. Thankyou so much for sharing your search & finds.
Better late than never. I love watching you search for treasures. I wonder if the rainbow leads to your door and all your precious finds?
Handing out Trick or Treat candy and watching you two is a great afternoon.
Happy Mother’s Day Gail! Great video , have a craft suggestion, with all the tea pot lids you could make a rain chain .... drill hole in tops and put a chain or fancy string threw them, spacing them out in between. With all the sizes and colors it would look cool .
Very good idea
The dimples in the Kewpie butt…🤗🤭😆😅
Another video enjoyed that we apparently missed a year ago…it’s so good to see your beautiful Schmoos again! We miss your Schmoos!
I love little bottles too. No need for embossing. Just cute and little.
"Little knobs are always good "....did I hear that right? 🤣🤣👍😁
Alex you should take that little doggy he's adorable his little face is so sweet
Could attach that half inkwell to a cute piece of wood, put a hook on the back to hang on a wall and use it as a cute little bud vase
Your mudlarking beach is prolific! It must be such a buzz to search there. Thanks for the outing and the education!
We can barely drag ourselves away! 😆💕
Schrader is a company founded in 1893 & is still in business. They make car parts, plumbing stuff, & air compression tools. They are still in business & antique pieces are very rare like the one you found. I would suggest getting in touch with a supplier because they would probably be interested in buying that piece from you.
I especially adore all the GLASS!
gentle ladies voices soothing
Love that big cologne bottle.You two make me evenings not so lonely.
What a great outing that was ladies! Teapot lids, so many (what could you do with them? me thinks) lots of doll’s legs, bottle stoppers, beads, marbles and those lovely (but deadly) hat pin ornaments! Just wonderful! Go back THERE again! I thought that ‘dog looking’ bottle may have been a honey jar
Love the tale of the hatpin warriors! Great finds as always! 😊❤
The music in this one was just hypnotic. You really do top-notch videos. A real cut above.
Is it just me that loved the way Alex said "Blooo" teapot lid xD another great video thank you :)
I love all of your adventures and amazing finds! How do you properly clean your delicate finds? Would you please consider an episode that includes the cleaning process?
We keep meaning to do something like that! we thing we have some effective methods of cleaning finds and we'd love to share them xx
@@NorthernMudlarks oh yes, please!! I keep hoping for that! 😍😍
Paradise indeed. I'd love to go mudlarking there. You'd have to drag me away screaming.
We often stay up until dark 😆😳
@@NorthernMudlarks
Don't forget to carry a hatpin in your lapel! 😳
Ladies, you have the most beautiful voices.
Why thank you! 🥰
It must be Sunday. Here we go careening down the " wrong" side of the road! Interesting finds!
I love old textured privacy glass and that lense Alex found is like the type used in railway oil lamps. If you find ones the right size, they tend to be quite sought after as replacements for broken ones! Another great video!
Awesome finds. I love the story about the Hat pin girls!
Looks like the overwhelming excitement of back to the dump site & mudlarking has led to barrage of finds ...Nice to see , thanks ..Although do miss the flowers & nature around you that made the videos more wholesome ..Hopefully the wonderful intermittently interspersed visual treats will make a come.back ...
Seeing these wonderful treasure has been one of the best things I've seen on my birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. Don't know you but xxx
Oh, happy birthday darling girl. These videos never fail to leave you with a good feeling eh?
Ermagerd.."Hatpin Warriors ". Love love love that story!!!!
Hello Alex and Gail (aka the Northern mudlarks) I have an idea for your "fancy boy" you could turn him into a light fixture (a small little one) or you could cast a head and paint it and some how get it to stay on his little neck without damaging his little body and paint.
The bottle with the partial label appears to read "Linseed Oil" I can't make out the manufacturer other than it ends in "Y & Company" and is made in England. Maybe you can find out more from that? Also, I loved the little Carlisle souvenir because I live in Carlisle.....Pennsylvania! Your videos always make my day!
More great amazing treasures!!!!!! Some very nice bottle stoppers😎😎 It was a great trip as always🤗🤗🤗 - Peter
I never get tire to see you exploring
Another beautiful video full of amazing finds. I love the history lessons too! Thank you!
It makes me realise how old I am when I see you guys finding and talking about things I recognise, the same with the caboodlers! Great day out for you, some super finds. Love your films.
Thank you very much! x
Nice find, I like mudlurking and to look for history, Ingland is a beautiful country.
LOVE the half moon bottle stop 😍
I would also take every tiny, precious bottle I could get my hands on. 🥰💜
Love your treasure finds Ladies. Thankyou.
It would be sooo cool if you guys staged photos of all your treasures like the I Spy books and released a series called “Spot the Find” 🥰🥰🥰
Such a fun idea!
Spot the Stopple Bopper!
Lol.
And could have interesting little infographics w histories. Find the leg! Spot the beeeeaaaadd!!!!!!
What a fantastic idea!
That would be amazing! I loved those books as a child!
All your videos are so entertaining & educational. Keep em coming, I so look forward to Sunday & your videos 🥰😍❣
I love the history of the items you find. So, so interesting!! Thank you.
Another lovely lark, we always look forward to the release of your new video. Thank you for sharing ⭐️👍⭐️👍💐
Awe, I am sad the video is over and have to wait another week!🥺😄 Wonderful video girls! Especially love the hat pin story....The half moon bottle stopper looks a bit like “Lalique” glass, just gorgeous🥰 Well, see you next week...GL and HH on your next adventure. Blessings and lots of luck send your way from Canada🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦 Stay well...♥️
I would love to come mudlurking with you ladys one day you find the best things ever, bottles are my fav, but i will never get to go so i love watching you. Thank you for that.
I love your figurine fragments. I actually restore them and turn them into lamps when the pieces are larger bits of figural Staffordshire. The fancy man piece looks as if he might have been a spill vase and the little fairy boy’s face painting reminds me of beautiful Italian pieces from the late 19th and early 20th century. Thank you both for sharing your marvelous adventures with all of us!
I absolutely loved the story about the women on strike attacking the police with hat pins... not just the bravado of the girls who were already being treated appallingly, but the fact that the police had to go to hospital due to the tiny bayonets causing injury and what a great etching you shared of the police in those tapering trousers with tiny feet and high heeled shoes!! Thank you both for another wonderful adventure! I am researching the Nuttals as I type this!
I love your videos. I wouldn't be able to stop. So many neat and amazing things. I could be there for days. Thank you for sharing.
I love the hat pin tops and that you included family and historical pictures! Well done!
I’m glad I found your Videos! I love everything from the beautiful music to the animals & the best finds ever. It’s so nice watching, I just want to put my hand threw the tv and pick stuff up! Lol I love how you do your videos!!! Just Beautiful!
Thank you so much! - so happy to have you join us on our adventures! xx
Love the Hat Pin Warriors Story - all the best from Madrid.
Great history bout the hat pins, good weapon back then! Love it
The half ink pot would be a cute refrigerator magnet or brooch.
I love watching you lovely ladies. You calm my soul.
Wonderful hat pin end - love the color of the glass. Some beautiful scenery in the video. Alex - beadologist! Amazing stories about hatpin defense - ouch! Some cool finds. Thanks for another great video. Love the historical perspectives.
Such treasures! Not just the things you find but the time spent together.
It looks like a Orange slice very pretty.
When I saw the pork pie ink bottle I immediately pictured it affixed to a piece of wood with little dried flowers in it, like lavender or baby's breath. Wall decor.
I first thought your moon bottle stopper was a fishtail. I’m imagining a fish shaped bottle underneath it!
Happy Mother's Day Gail🌷🌷🌹
Thank you again for your wonderful videos. Love every where you go and the variety of landscapes. Plus all the treasures of course! Bye til next time from Australia
The nuttall lid is a glass manufacture ran by Francis Dixon and Bill Lackhart they relocated from Liverpool in 1870 to St. Helens if it has a tear drop design on it it I’d ca1870 -1895
I’d say someone dumped some old hats and stockings in the dump! Wow! 😎👍🇺🇸
Love the hat pins
Yaaay! My girls are on!!!
Always love it! Thanks for brightening my day and teaching somethings along the way!
I love love watching ur videos of all the finds and the making of jewelry and all the projects y’all have made...... but most of all I love the mother and daughter team..... it reminds me of me and my late mother when we would do all things together....again ty for ur awesome videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww thank you so much! xx
Oh, my! All those lovely teapot lids! They would make an interesting rack to hang things on by the door, glued into a bit of driftwood or something.
Oh yes! Good idea! 😊
I know this is an older video, but you asked for suggestions on what to make with the half pot (25:25). What about fixing a small backing to seal it. You could add either a magnet or a small loop to hang it and use for small flowers.
Here we go again, another wonderful Sunday evening with Gail and Alex..... Love your finds 🤗
I love stoppers and hat pins. I have about 6 very inexpensive pins. Can’t afford the really pretty and long ones . Haven’t been in an antique store for about 11 years. I used to buy postcards. Last winter I looked thru my albums and realized many had turned 100 years and older. I think my oldest ones are 1909!
I bought them in the 1980s and never considered they’d turn 100 ( or me 77) !!
The Little Japanese house would have come from a bonsai 🌲. They do still attach them to the miniature trees
Wow that’s so cool
Yes, it looks like a shrine you’d find in or near a Japanese forest!
Or from a fish bowl
ericalbany That’s what I was about to point out!
A pagoda??
Lovely stuff ladies......xx
I saw something similar but house plants and fish tanks, I couldn't resist and had bought some even though I exceeded the age limit 😊 xxx
Such beautiful finds.. awesome!
Wonderful finds and the history behind them.from shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love learning about the wonderfully interesting bits of history and as always beautifully crafted presentation! Thanks, have a great day! 👍👋😃
Interesting
Fun finds
Very interesting stories that you add to your finds.
I love that you teach us about the stuff you find. I always was wondering what the difference between the ink well and the ink bottles. That ways super intresting.
You are very welcome! 🥰
Happy Mother’s Day from Australia too!💐
Beautiful blue doo-dad gem!! ❤️
You can recycle upcycle teapot lids. You can glue to a decorative board and hang things from.
I just came across your channel and I am thoroughly hooked! Lots of fun and amazing finds. I love your creativity with the things you bring home. I am a leatherworker but I'd love to be able to Mudlark in my area on the east coast of Maryland USA. Enjoy the tea I bought you! Keep up the good work.
Your posts are so calming and sweet❤️🇱🇷
Lovely hunt, great finds 👋👍
Above the cod marble was a beautiful blue and white piece of pottery
