It's awesome how polite and supportive you are to each other! Breath of fresh air. I'm Canadian and I'm a very polite one in Canadian standards lol it's a sign of respect. Also, look for Nintendo games with mario/luigi/yoshi. They sell high especially for systems original Nintendo, Super Nintendo and N64. I am an avid collector❤
George, if you ever want to be REALLY disappointed in thrifting, especially at all the Goodwills, come to the greater Portland, Maine area! It’s the worst!
I'm surprised in a way, I equate Maine with old stuff but it also depends how they're run, who donates and the competition for old things shopping them
@@TheAntiqueNomad I live in the greater Portland area. It’s a different culture here. There are more and better opportunities up north in the small towns than there are here. I travel a lot for that, but it’s harder in the winter.
You have a wealth of knowledge George. I was unaware about the barrel clasp being from the 60's. I love how you two go back and forth. 😁 We do the same thing here. 😁 So much fun hanging out with the both of you. Have a wonderful night. ❤️ Maddy
I always enjoy watching you share the knowledge you have. Not only am I gathering valuable info but your sweet demeanor is so refreshing. I love Yvon too! Blessings to the both of you! ❤🙏🏻
I loved watching this. I watched it twice. I love spending time with you and Yvonne in this video. You two are great shopping buddies. I need to learn to walk away empty handed if there is nothing I can make money on but I bet that comes with time! If you are ever in Asheville, NC please let me know! I would love to meet you both!
Yes, I still like them around because if I don't want to stare at phone or computer, I still might need to keep track of time (usually so I can make a phone call or go on the computer at the right time lol)
I love refinishing/restoring furniture. Yvon is the best, just love how she is so thoughtful in her picking, as well as she knows more than she lets on. lol and you George are such a wealth of knowledge you were the google of all things vintage antique before the internet. Just love watching you both shop together.
Hi George . The Mt. Rushmore art piece may have been done by cartoonist Gahan Wilson. He was well known. Published in The New Yorker, Playboy and National Lampoon. He died in 2019 at the age of 89.
Real life walking, talking knowledge is the best way to learn so I thank you for that. The added bonus was that you were with Yvon. She is so kind and has much knowledge herself. Great video!
George, you are such a thoughtful guy. Just want to say thanks. Always good to see someone that is gracious and giving. I was at an estate sale last weekend and the prices were ridiculously high, they weren't priced so when I asked I put them back and the seller was angry at me. I was gracious and told him I was a reseller. He was mad that I wouldn't buy. Sometimes you have to walk away. I wasn't rude at all but he was. I don't think I'lll be back to his sales.
That was great seeing you & Yvon fight over who gets what, but in a good way! I bought a couple of the paper mache Mexican figures awhile back for $4 each & sold them at my booth for $12 each. They're actually a little creepy looking, in my opinion, but they sold pretty fast. That fish...well...as Michael from The Cult of Vintage says, it's trashtastic!
Lol it's nice to share the wealth! I think the papier mache Mexican folk could be fun if displayed right, I'm not surprised you tripled on those. Trashtastic indeed!
The sideboard could also be used as a bathroom cabinet. Putting two above counter sinks and a marble top after painting or not is a one of a kind item.
Good evening, George! The 1920s buffet was a nice one. There's no way I'd put paint on it. Covering that wood grain would be like putting Mother Nature in a gaudy body bag. Loved the cuckoo clock. Love the Heisey "Greek Key" pitcher. To me, Heisey is the pinnacle of clear glass. That seemed a really good price for the Czechoslovakia vase. Mother has a few of those papier mache' figures. She's had them probably since the 1980s. Those thrift stores were all well-stocked, and the items didn't look to be a pile of rubbish, either. Even the Goodwill had a good selection. I caught a glimpse of what looked to be a chess board there. That would've really got my interest...love chess sets. That was refreshing to see thrift stores, (especially a Goodwill), actually having nice items for the local customers! Lots of fun!!! Thanks for the take-along!!!!!
I know people are converting them to bathroom vanities, painting and otherwise altering them, but I wouldn't have touched that one, it was iimmaculate! The hard part with painting furniture is taking it off later when styles change back to preferring natural wood. The Greek Key was such an amazing bargain, and it's their most distinctive early pattern in my humble opinion. The Czech vase was sweet, and the Mexican papier mache figuress (which I haven't cared for in the past) somehow struck me as more interesting when clustered without bric-a-brac around them. Yvon certainly is blessed, when the Goodwill is good you know the other thrifts have potential too lol. I'm glad it was fun, we had a good time and I'm glad it showed!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Even if the paint can effectively be removed from an old piece of furniture, you're never able to get the original finish/patina back. Once it's painted, the original finish is lost. If they're veneered, even removing the paint can be almost impossible, without the veneer coming off, too. That "Greek Key" pitcher was a steal of a deal. I've had a few pieces of Heisey, (wish I still had some of them), and. without it being lead crystal, it is the clearest glass I've seen. Mother got her papier mache' figures on a trip to Mexico many years ago. I kind of like the rustic, folk art appeal they have. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised at the Goodwill being that good. Yvon certainly is blessed to have such good resourcing outlets.
Nice jewelry! Not flashy enough for me. I'm watching " Gentlemen Perfer Blonde's"; and just wish I could grab some of their wardrobe. Teach crazy lamp lady about Raku, she isn't really in the know about the process.
Oh yes! I agree. I need to get Yvon to explain to Crazy Lamp Lady, but I do understand it better now that I realize American Raku is not the same as Japanese
I used to do Raku in college, and some methods are different. But it seems when people mass produce pottery the manner of production is different. Many times people who are collectors depend on the seller for a better explanation of the manufacturing. It is a small part of what makes us more helpful to the clients. Yes ,l have been to many sales meetings, and glass is her favorite medium.
Jewelry is my favorite collectible. Rhinestones from the fifties are my favorite. I will keep watching. And thank you for all the time you spend online for us to learn from you. 💜💛💚🎃💝😈💜💛💚🎃💝😈💜💛💚🎃💝😈💜💛💚🎃💝😈💜💛💚🎃💝😈💜💜💛💛💚💚🎃🎃💝💝😈😈🥠🥠🥠🥠
365 VS 395 UV LIGHT. I have a flashlight that has both settings plus you can move the end down to concentrate the beam. It will pick up manganese, selenium, cadmium etc. Worth every penny
28:30 I bought that castle for some cousins years ago, brand new in packaging. And yes I shipped it, not cheap to do but they made three birthday cakes with that pan.
My local thrift stores are Value Village and the Goodwill, the Goodwills stopped putting out jewelry years ago when they launched their own auction style website, Value Village does put out jewelry but it is junk and when it isn't junk they price it retail. Yvon is lucky that her thrifts are apparently not doing it.
Thank you for that! I did not recognize them, I've bought and sold Judaica but am not educated about the culture. Israel made a lot of good metalwork in that era
George, I recognize that bread necklace! I believe it's from Africa. I got several in Uganda; the beads are made from rolled paper. These are often made by women as their sole source of income.
I always check out the clear "garbage bags" - found a whale tooth eskimo carving by Arne Tjomsland in a bag of kids' toys - didn't know what it was initially (had a sticker with his initials only) but I liked him. Sold for hundreds in a few hrs! So now, I never ignore those bags. Great video, as always!
It's true, time permitting there's real opportunity in them (although you'll look at a lot of hair curlers and small fasteners in the process). The woman at the store in my last video with Yvon said she found an 18k ring in one! Congratulations on your good fortune, that's a pretty good artist to find all right!
Lane furniture is super easy to date. Sometimes right down to the month and date of manufacturer. Check the marks and there are sites where you can date them.
I'm new to your channel and am enjoying your content. This thrift store had an excellent selection of jewelry goodies. That green and red "shiny" brooch with the matching earrings is Juliana D&E, looked like it was in fabulous shape!
Hi Brenda, you probably already know I’m collecting a bunch of Avon critters, they’re not worth very much right now but I’m having fun with it, so that one went into the box ❣️
I loved the small hands glove holder. I never see them and I do have gloves so it's right up my alley! Did either of you end up getting the glove holder? The sand sculpture was amazing. It must be terribly heavy. Is that an item you sell at your booth or is it something you might bring to a show? It was so fun watching you both shop. Thank you!
It's so heavy that it'll go to a booth or a show, not online to ship! I think we foolishly left the glove holders, I didn't know I had collectors until I showed them in this video
Got excited about the Lane Acclaim tables at 8:00. MadCityModern (youtube)does a series of 2 refinishing videos on a few Acclaim pieces; the coffee, side, high-low side table and the triangle lamp table all with that distinctive top. Fifty dollars for two sides seems like a real deal and they look fabulous when refinished; pure MCM goodness! Thanks for the video, always fun to shop along.
It's not too hard to redo those, I just didn't have the room or it would've been a deal (plus I already have one I have to do). MadCityModern sounds worth watching when it's time to do it!
I sell it well in the places I've always sold kitchenware well...the Northwest customer is very practical, and it sells in the Midwest. I take pieces from Florida to those places to sell
07:06 I'd paint that too, if the finish got messed up. It's kind of begging for a Day of the Dead color scheme. 09:43 I'm jealous. My thrifts either don't get much jewelry or don't put any out. The spun paper beads started out in Africa, made from magazines etc and sold as fundraisers. Now they're everywhere. 13:20 Italian foiled glass, unless it's Japanese. GRAB THAT somebody!. Glove holders ... market them as mask holders! Work like a charm for that. As far as wear on glass goes, sometimes it's older than dirt but doesn't have any. My grandmother got a pair of marigold glass candlesticks brand new in the 30s. Never burned candles and probably hated the color, but never got rid of them. My mother hated them too and stuffed them in a box in the attic. Come to the mid-90s, we cleaned out the attic. My cousin got the candleholders as a gift for college graduation. They looked brand stinkin' new, because they were. Not a scratch on them.
That's when I would consider painting, if the finish was bad and it had to be resurfaced somehow anyway, although that piece looked really clean. Yvon has the beads, we knew those were good! Mask holders, lol...hopefully that will also soon be a thing of the past. Your story is a good example of why some venerable glass has no wear, but a water pitcher seems like something that would be used and visible.
Hi George, do you ever make it out to SC? There is so much history here. I went to a yard sale about a month ago, and found a 1943 Army helmet, and an early 1900's Black Americana share cropper cast iron bank I believe made by Hubley. I paid $6 for both
There are really amazing things in SC from what I hear! I wish to see Charleston, one of the few amazing old American cities I haven't seen. I think I need to find an appraisal fair or show to do there
Hi George, so appreciative of the information I gather from all your videos. Any chance you could share a good book to start learning about costume jewelry identification?
Thanks!
You're very welcome, J! I truly appreciate the support, and I am happy that you are gaining benefit from my content. 😀
I love the good vibes between you and Yvonne 😊
When I was in high school in the 60s, we used the glove clips as roach clips!
You guys are so sweet to each other.
Everyone take note!
I really enjoy sharing this experience with people who are collaborative rather than competitive!
Hi George, 😊 thank you for being you! love your interactions. Great example that u always set !
Thanks for shorter formats!
Love love old books! Glass, China, and books!
We just donated a bunch of my mom's old Tervis that she bought in Florida in the 90's
Well, you made someone happy and did a nice thing for the thrift store. I'm surprised how popular some of their stuff is (condition has to be perfect)
It's awesome how polite and supportive you are to each other! Breath of fresh air. I'm Canadian and I'm a very polite one in Canadian standards lol it's a sign of respect.

Oh thank you! I’m glad I can share the joy
I loved that you called that blanket a 'Haloween' Blanket. Here is SW Ohio we called that a Bengals blanket!!! Who dey!
You two need to shop together more often. I really enjoyed this video.
Happy to find and follow you George🥰
Another great eposide, you never disappoint
Aww, thanks!
Guys, that Afghan is perfect for CLEVELAND BROWNS, TOO. yes, I'm a fan.
True!
Found your channel from Yvon she is the best.

Nice video to Share with a friend or two. Good way to thank George! 🎉
Hi George The buffet was amazing. Nice to see you Thrifting with Yvon. Such neat jewelry pieces. That sand art was really something. 🌻
💕💕
I’d have been all over the Lane Acclaim tables! Sure wish we had a nice thrift store like that here.

I love Josef Original dolls...

Listening to you go through your finds is dense with educational information.
Thank you!
Glad to hear it! I love sharing what I can
Hey George 👋
I love when you and Evon shop together!

Hi George 🎃
We bought a new one of those carts at Nashville Flea Market one time and then sold it on our way to the car when it was over.
That is BRILLIANT!!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Don’t know about brilliant but it worked.🤣
Another fun video George.
There is a store in Astoria by
Ditmar ave the have some stuff you might check out.nice
Astoria Nyc
It been there for many years..

That sand bottle was amazing!!!
I painted a sideboard out my daughter loves it and it perked up her kitchen as a coffee/ serving bar great video 😎
Listening to Alan Parsons on vinyl and watching you and Yvon having fun treasure hunting at the thrift store. Stuff, stuff, and more stuff!
Oh, I used to listen to them with a friend in college!
💞💞💞💜
The drawing of Mount Rushmore by “Wilson” may be Gahan Wilson well known cartoonist…..I think I’ve seen his work in New Yorker for instance.
I thought that at first, but to my recollection his signature is different
I was AT that “Phantom “ performance! I wish I could jump right out of this device and grab that signed poster!!!!
If it's Yvonne's local then she could make that happen.☺️
George has been busy so that was actually from last month but I will definitely check for you ❣️
Oh shoot! Maybe Yvon will get it for you
15:23 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I HAVE THE PUNCH BOWL AND CUPS IN THAT GREEK KEY PATTERN
Nice! I really like that pattern
Lane again so want those end tables and coffee table....would do the work.
I have one already to restore or I'd have been seriously tempted! Didn't have room in the van sadly
@@TheAntiqueNomad They cost so much more here!!!!!!
Hi 👋🏻 George enjoy your videos. You find nice jewelry you should post them in EBay ‼️👍🏻🙋🏻♀️🙂🗽
I do some drop sales on my channel with jewelry but I haven't posted much on eBay because it sells so fast at my real world shows
365 VS 395 UV LIGHT. I have a flashlight that has both settings plus you can move the end down to concentrate the beam. It will pick up manganese, selenium, cadmium etc. Worth every penny

That sounds like what I need
What a great look at so many thrift stores in one video! The sand art is great…how much do you think you’ll get for it?
Not sure yet but I hope $25-35

18:07 Those copper repousse images were Judaica, schetl (spelling probably way off) imagery. Still made in Israel well into the 70s.

I have four of the Lane tables. I found them in Alabama at a great price and they’re in great condition.
MadCityModern (youtube) does a couple of great refinishing videos on them...they look fantastic "like new". Good score!
Love your collab videos Georgie!

Glove holders? What a great idea. Why don't they make them any more? I didn't know they exist but need those.
I think just because gloves are not commonly worn anymore
@@TheAntiqueNomad I started wearing my gloves more often at the beginning of the pandemic.
I agree there are some thrift stores that are nation wide that I will not go to.
Very interesting
The tin musicians were Israeli and artist signed in Hebrew
I should have looked at them more closely and recognized that! I'm glad to know that though.
Hi George, do you ever make it out to SC? There is so much history here. I went to a yard sale about a month ago, and found a 1943 Army helmet, and an early 1900's Black Americana share cropper cast iron bank I believe made by Hubley. I paid $6 for both
There are really amazing things in SC from what I hear! I wish to see Charleston, one of the few amazing old American cities I haven't seen. I think I need to find an appraisal fair or show to do there
Don't you think the Phantom of the Opera there for $6 and change would sell in Florida maybe M. Dora?
I sure thought about it, but because it was specific to Colorado I figured it should stay there
Hi George, so appreciative of the information I gather from all your videos. Any chance you could share a good book to start learning about costume jewelry identification?
