Is It Worth More? | Antiques & Vintage Appraisal Fair Q&A
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2023
- Small town appraisal fairs throw us appraisers some curve balls sometimes! This fun event at the historic Dezell Home in Greensboro, Florida is chock full of locally significant things that have value beyond the norm because of where they are. Antique and vintage pieces from as far as Turkey and India appear, and as close as the next town. Do we get the values of these vintage goods right?
Country living is a theme, with items rescued from local general stores and far flung auctions representing a slice of real American heritage. We intersperse appraisal valuations with values and views of some specific displays in the museum house, and talk about the importance of antiques and vintage in educating future scholars and antique aficionados.
Salvation comes for small towns when devotees of an area's history join forces, and the West Gadsden Historical Society have done an amazing job resurrecting this little town's railroad depot as well! From its original shop tools, stationmaster's desk and safe to the segregated waiting rooms, this museum and events venue is a great wrap up for our fascinating journey to this once prominent rail town.

I love this kind of video! I learn so much about a wide variety of things!! Bless those folks for creating those small local museums. What a wonderful way to teach and preserve local history. Thanks for showcasing them George!!
I was very impressed with what they were doing there
I always wondered what mind your beeswax meant! My mom would say that. Hahahah thanks George !
You bet!
Ya know...I really wanted to get married in a black wedding dress but every one turned their nose up at it. Back in the day people got married in all sorts of colors much like the butterscotch color you found-I think that should be brought back. I love the Egyptian Dream book!
My grandma Thelma got married in a black wedding dress and played Dobro in an all-girl band at her own reception. She looked fantastic. Bigfork,
Montana. 1939.
@@darkspar72 Your grandma sounds awesome :)
I’ve seen 2 dobro players. Both male. I’m fascinated by the instrument😊😊
Yes, I'm all for it! I think people should express themselves at their weddings
How cool @darkspar72!
I always learn from your videos. Thanks George 😊
My pleasure!
George, I was beyond pleased that we were taken to these museums that I would never had seen if you hadn't. We try to keep pieces of history by the antiques we buy and preserve, but to actually see them displayed in museums how they were used is so invaluable to me. Seeing many of the large museums with items scattered throughout doesn't have as great a meaning to me as these smaller museums showing items in their real "home" environment. Thank you so very much!
Thank yoU! I like to see this too, it feels real and like things within my childhood memory, even in the 1970s I saw houses appointed like this. The old lady across the street had been in her place since 1936
Hi George! Another wonderful video. Not only do we get the joy of the appraisals but also the historic journey. The bonus is you are creating a wonderful series that these enterprising folks can point to and say look, what we're doing is important and interesting to more than just us!
I hope that's how it comes off, I think it's important to preserve these stories!
@@TheAntiqueNomad At least this viewer sees it that way. I'm sure many more. You should suggest they maybe add a sign at the historic sights directing them to the videos.
Thank you George, that was so interesting. So happy the Town has the pride to preserve their heritage. ❤️
Me too!
Thank you George! We all enjoyed the day! Your professionalism made each of us feel that you appreciated our interest in our special items. You are the best. Thank you for showcasing our museums and sharing West Gadsden Historical Society’s passion to save and share the history of Gadsden County, FL. I hope your followers will stop by for a visit on their way to central and south Florida; the panhandle is beautiful! You are definitely welcomed back anytime!
Jane, I never knew that Greensboro had a museum. It has been several years since I went there. Actually went their several years ago to visit my husbands aunt. How long has it been in existance? This was a great interview for George. I hope he continues to explore more places in the panhandle of Florida and share more history.
@@sharlynebeach2786 Both buildings - The Dezell House and the Greensboro Depot were procured in 2004. After years of renovation the Greensboro Depot Railroad Museum opened in 2014. The Dezell House was opened all through renovation, but in 2019 was fully restored and staged. You must come back and visit!
@@janeclark3037 Thank you for responding and thank you for the invitation to come visit.
I am so happy you asked, and glad you enjoyed this like I did! I look forward to getting there again.
The veteran history, old store, redware salt pitcher, and that Egyptian dream book, super cooooollllll just sooo Awesome to see, thank you!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you...this was a little different than my usual but it seems like people enjoyed it!
What a treat to wake up to this! Watched along w my morning coffee. Ty!
Love the beeswax information❤️🦩🌴🌞
I have such a big crush on you ! Nothing is more attractive than a kind man with so much knowledge🥰
Aww, thank you! That is really nice to hear. I will keep trying to be both
@@TheAntiqueNomad I sure wish I could borrow you for about an hour this morning ! I responded to a for sale ad on local Facebook Marketplace for a lot of vintage smalls. To make a long story short I reached out to the seller and these items belonged to her mother who recently died at the age of 94, they have listed a few things but a local auction co. is coming next weekend to pick up the items to sale them at thier location. The seller has invited me to come over this morning and be the 1st person to pick through and buy what I want before the Auction House comes. How often does this happen ?! I am new to this town so it's not like anyone knows me here but I also can sympathize when it comes to strangers looking through your deceased parents belongings so I will be very sensitive. She has of vintage jewelry, antique furniture, glassware etc etc. Would an old wash stand with the original pitcher and bowl be worth picking up for $40?
This was a great video George. Wonderful history that is often overlooked.
Many thanks!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Ever make it to upstate NY?
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed seeing all the vintage/antique items. ❤
You have the best job in the world George! I am so jealous! Great content! THANKS!!!
I’m lucky! Thank you
We live in Havana, Gadsden County, Florida & had no clue about all this great history, just down the highway a little ways. Thank you, George!💜
I did an appraisal fair in Havana last year! Nice town with some fun antiquing
Good evening, George! I really like the appraisal fairs. OMG! I loved that Mason and Hamlin organ! Mine is a Mason and Hamlin. That "Egyptian Dream" book is one I would definitely add to my books. I don't mind that it is worn. I liked that pewter pitcher, and I loved that she hadn't polished it. I used to have an antique telegraph set but sold it many years ago...kind of wish I still had it, but I'd have nowhere to put it, if I did. This was a really fun premier! The mix of the appraisals and the museum tour was really fantastic! Thanks!!!
Interesting about your pump organ being the same brand, it makes me wonder if that was a prevalent brand in this section of the South. I loved the Egyptian Dream book just for uniqueness and scandal! I always wanted a complete telegraph set, but have never found all the pieces together for sale! I am so glad you enjoyed this mix, it was a departure in a way but I enjoyed doing it.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I had the pumps and bellows redone in my reed organ, and the old man that redid it for me said the Mason and Hamlin reed organs weren't easy to find. He was 72 years old, when he redid mine, and he said he had been working on old reed organs ever since he was 14 years old. He also told me that Mason and Hamlin almost put Steinway out of business; their pianos were so good. A family member did a bit of research on my reed organ, and they found out, from the serial number, that it was made in the last half of 1892.
The Egyptian Dream book would be a fun one to have in a collection.
Those old telegraph sets can take up quite a bit of real estate, to display. The one I had come from an antique auction many years ago. It was taking space I needed for my beverage sets, so I sold it 😂
That was a fun mix of the appraisals and the museum tour. A lot of information in both spectrums.
George, I really enjoyed this video! I love history and it was nice to see all the different pieces and also hearing the people talk about the history.
Love the dragon candlesticks!
Me to actually
You knowing all this stuff is amazing.
Fun video 👍🌹❤️🌹
Thank you 🤗
I really enjoyed this video George! You are so knowledgeable, but also so nice to everyone. Of course I really like all your videos, but when you talk about history it's so interesting and you really obliviously care about your audience! One day I'm going to get in touch about having you look at some ships running boards (I inherited several from my Dad). He was in a Sea Scout group and they used to sail around the Chesapeake Bay and this was in the 1930's when the economy wasn't very good and watermen would skuttle a boat (row or sail it up into a cove and ground it), because there wasn't enough money to fix them.. So these boys would save interesting bits and pieces off the old boats they could find. These are interesting, but all packaged up in my basement !
Another great video George. Thanks for sharing.
Love these appraisal videos. Great stories behind these pieces. Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy sharing the stories of the collector
I so appreciate your knowledge George..I learn so much from u and I love to learn..I’m so impressed how you retain so much of your knowledge,,gentle hugs Paulies Projects
Great video George, thank you!
Great job. Many thanks
I visited a little town museum in Sedgewick, AB recently. It was fascinating to learn what found its way into people's homes back then. I saw three signature quilts, which are an interesting way to preserve the history of community members. Quilting clubs were essential social hubs, still are .
You're looking good, George and LOVE to hear what you know about each item ... amazing brain!
Very interesting!!
That brown stoneware pitcher could of been Seagrove Pottery from North Carolina. There is a great auction house called Crockerfarms, American pottery that would know exactly who made that piece if it's American. These guys know there stuff. I sold a beautiful cobalt large jar that was made by C.B. Masten that I found at a estate sale and did quite well. Better than expected.
Loved the vid, George! ❤❤❤
Redware usually has a lead glaze while stoneware has a salt glaze.
💖
George, PLZ come to Grand Rapids Michigan!! Very cool little museum
I hope to get up there later in the year!
@@TheAntiqueNomad wonderful!!!
Love history stories. My grandparents had a covered wagon motion clock with light and horses. We would just watch it for a long time. My uncle still has it. Is it valuable?
Love your channel, I do the Otaki Market in New Zealand North Island, hopping to cyclone Gabriel
I mean miss
I hope you miss out on the cyclones! I'm curious to know about your market
great video ... mahalo nui /tfs
Hi George 🎩
Can I tell you a great on line antique auction that's going on right now in Kansas City. I think you would love.
Do you ever come to Texas? I’d love to shop in person from you! I am always looking at your stuff on eBay! Found you on the CLL and since I’ve watched all her videos, I am trying to do the same with you!
I’m overdue for a trip there! It’d be fun to meet. I’m glad you found me through CLL, she’s a lot of fun to shop with too
when you ask where they picked up an item have you had anyone say a youtube live sale yet lol
Yes! As a matter of fact, in Newburgh Indiana I heard that twice last year
What are you talking about? Redware was made in large quantities In Pennsylvania! Not to mention all the great redware made in Connecticut.
You are so right! I did a poor job editing that passage. Her piece (based on what she said) appeared to be southern (probably Carolina) because of the thin body, but it is possible it was from Pennsylvania as well. Redware was made anywhere there were red clay deposits and fuel, brick yards in particular were all over the place
Hi George n xeno dang I'm a day late
I’m in Pensacola Florida for a couple of days. Any recommendations on antique stores? Thanks!
I'm afraid I haven't been in enough years that I'd have to start fresh. There was a good mallin Pensacola Beach if it's still there, I got a Barovier pitcher from Murano for $10
