This video had to be one of my ALL TI E FAVORITES, George. Between the excitement & enthusiam & the well informative discussions, you were on the edge of your seat.😂 👏👏👏🩷
Amazing videos George! Lovely episode and very special ! My Dad was a Costume Taylor from Italy, Emigrated to New York and had a Small Shop in NYC Madison Ave. With this been said ; The Dior book bought back memories of my dad’s books of figurines that he had, He would also custom Sewed Classics for women. As mater of facts ! Dad, made a pantsuit for Miss. Universe 1979. Thank You George! As always your videos are enjoyable,informative and relaxing to watch, I have learned so much in the Antique world of collectibles. Grazie Mille! Arrivederci!
I really enjoyed this appraisal fair George! So many interesting items! I also loved watching you and Rosie at the live auction. You did a fantastic job! I enjoy listening to auctioneers. So much fun!
Please come to Rockwood Tennessee, we have a lot of antiques stores here, i have lot of old things i need appraised!! Loved this show, you are so knowledgeable! We have a Flea World youd enjoy too!! Thank you, George!
Some very cool pieces in this one George. The micro mosaic dog piece had an amazingly polished surface, usually they a rougher. Loved the fashion look book, really beautiful high fashion styles in there. It looks like a good time was had by all.🖤🇨🇦
Good evening, George. I watched the appraisal fair when it was live. There were a lot of things people brought that were fascinating. With it being Mother's Day, and the situation as it is, I just wasn't up to getting in the chat...it was a difficult day. It was a _very_ welcome distraction for me, though. I liked the Polish Orthodox icon. I have an Orthodox icon of the Virgin and Child that has a couple marks on it, but I can't make out what they are. The 1948 fashion design book was a really fantastic find. It's not exactly my thing, but I am able to recognise the value and importance of it. It should _always_ be kept intact. The micro-mosaic dog was a really nice piece, and the tintype, with the child in uniform, was really unusual to see. The Red Riding Hood pin is something I would actually buy. I have an antique, upright photo album, with diamond-shaped mirrors in each "door" on it, on which I put old brooches. That would be a great addition. That was a really fun appraisal fair - both yesterday and tonight! I really enjoy seeing what people have collected and bring for an appraisal!
I love watching you George. You are so knowledgeable, very appreciative of every item you see even if it may not have much value. You recognize and appreciate the connection the person may have to such a piece. Your voice is soothing as well. I look forward to many more videos from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Oh there is a lady from Murray Ky. selling the barrel table and chairs as well as the couch on FB marketplace for 1500.
i always love watching these type of videos. i didnt get a chance to see much of this in person cuz i was out at my booth so i'm glad you put this up. wish i would have brought something to get appraised just wasnt enough time in the days leading up to tique stock this year lol. thanks for the help with the viking candle holders though it was great you could confirm that for me! it was so great getting to meet you in person!
Had a great aunt who worked at the Yale mission in China in the early part of the twentieth century. Have lots of embroidery items she brought back. She said the "forbidden stitch " is actual from the forbidden city. Taught to the Chinese by French missionaries and is the same as a French knot! Antique dealers love to create stories that make their items more interesting.
We used to hear that refinishing older furniture ruined its value. Interesting to hear George tell the owner of the Lane end table that refinishing it would increase its value. Thank you for explaining why the JFK newspapers are not as valuable as we thought they were. You'd need to have the one from Dallas.
I think the furniture needs to be professionally refinished. With so many people refinishing furniture these days after watching you tube videos, it makes me worry.
28:53 Is it me or does the guy with the book look a heckuvalot like George? A New Look DIOR et cie sketchbook????? Holy guacamole. I think George is light on the price. In a fashion auction this thing would go nuts! Dude's purchase price x factor of 10, I'd think.
I'd love to meet someone like yourself. I have a very large Victrola dated 1903, Thomas Edison. My grandmother owned 3 silent movie theatres and this came from one of them. It does still play.
I agree with you about Jocelyn's auction prices. I watch her sales, but most items go for way more than I can do. Competition is tough, especially if one lovely lady wants it. I have a few pieces from Berner Brothers that were more reasonable.
I have refurbished Lane Acclaim pieces before. I sold a set for $450, a small side table for $145 and a single step table for $175 that I paid $10 for.
This appraisal/discussion was so exciting to watch! Now I know that Mike is Elderly Poodle! I only know his face from his glass channel, Well Swung. I just love what you all do (you too Rosie who is on fire at auctions!) and appreciate it so much that you share it with us.
The Lane piece was from the Lane Acclaim line. I’d love to get my hands on the boomerang table and the switchblade table. I have the square end table, in beautiful condition, with its original finish. I bartered for it - I gave two pairs of wool socks that I knitted for it.
Elderly poodle is Mike @ Well Swung! I am often with him as a subscriber on Scott’s old curiosity shop channel during live auctions. It’s nice to put a handsome face with a name. I love watching George for his wonderful personality, his incredible expertise and the wide variety of content on his channel.
I believe the polar bear figures are early Krinkles by Patience Brewster. She was a classmate of mine and we live nearby, I will send this to her for verification.
I saw the part about fenton collaborating with other artists and I was looking at a cat figurine I got at goodwill and found the "Fenton USA stamp on the cat that I hadn't seen before. The cat is made of a heavy stone and there's a signature on the bottom of the cat that I'm still trying to make out. I just found it online. It is a Fenton Chocolate Glass cat and it's one of 2 pieces.
I'm trying to find those bakelite testing pads. Do you know what the brand name is and/or where to find them? Thank you so much for all your great information, George!
This was a lot of fun! Thank you everyone! It's great George to see Heidi's ' Tiquestock' growing so fast. That's wonderful. Take care -Safe travels. ♡
It really isn't that difficult. Stripping with Citrastrip, and then using a walnut stain over the entire thing and then using Howard's Wax n Feed is all I have ever done.
18 minutes on the guy with the book? Really? So many other things worth the time. Great information otherwise. Love many of the items. A cheap "glue" for holding things down is dental adhesive. I've used it for a few years. Easily washes off and cheap.
So much fun,😊
So so many interesting things 🎉
Fun to hear what the owners have to say ! Great time !
Lovely red bottle, very graceful lines.
That was great one George, I love the appraisal videos. The back to back ephemera was amazing!
It sure was!
The book of illustrations 😮 wow!

The fashion illustrations were interesting.
Antiques road show vibes🙂
George and Mike together! ❤️
What an amazing book Mike!
I so agree! Mike was full of energy and was a joy to watch how he interacted with George.
Thanks Sally! It was great hanging out with George and getting to know him more!
I Love watching you and following your channel ☺️
Great Video! George, you're a trip
Lol I have fun
I’m Eastern Orthodox and I absolutely love that icon, we have a copy in my home 🥰🥰☦️
That's neat! I'm a fan, very reverent and beautiful
I could watch you do valuations all day. I wish you could come to Australia. I would be first in line !
Interesting ! So many varied pieces . Thank you George !

Love this short. I love to shine a black light around in my house.😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊

It's similar but different from what I have been told in some manner. I'll have to look into it more!
George, this was great!
Love these videos George!👏👏👍🇦🇺
the man who had the artest book is so excited his eyes are sparkling.
I noticed that too
Yes, I am pretty excited about it lol I love art and knew I had to have it!
Made George eyes sparkle ✨️ too
Can't do better than George and Well Swung hashing out a steller find.
Thanks Tim! I had such a good time with George, Rosie and everyone who attended Tique Stock 2024!
Great video!
Awesome, loved this!
I lived by Rick Wisecarver in Roseville ohio for yrs..wonderful artist
I love Art Nouveau

I think the furniture needs to be professionally refinished. With so many people refinishing furniture these days after watching you tube videos, it makes me worry.
Refinishing would need to be thoughtful, but it's not so hard to restore mid-century finishes because they were all factory formulated and applied.
More programming like this. I found it informative and enjoyable. Unlike other venues.
Thanks!
Yes, you are so right
28:53 Is it me or does the guy with the book look a heckuvalot like George? A New Look DIOR et cie sketchbook????? Holy guacamole. I think George is light on the price. In a fashion auction this thing would go nuts! Dude's purchase price x factor of 10, I'd think.
It is entirely possible you're right. The more he revealed about the signatures, the better it got!
There were a few of my favorite illustrations that didn’t get shown either ; ) lots of incredible pieces in that book!
I'd love to meet someone like yourself. I have a very large Victrola dated 1903, Thomas Edison. My grandmother owned 3 silent movie theatres and this came from one of them. It does still play.
Fun!
Come to Fresno California.. Please!!🥰
Mu-ra-no. Not Myur-ano. 😂 And, yes. I agree on the value of the paperweight - unless Jocelyn (CLL) is selling it. Then it would go for at least $100
You are correct about the pronunciation, I tend to anglicize it

Watching from England
I would love to get a link to order the Bakelite test cloths! Love the video. Thanks, George.

Say what!?
Glad you enjoyed it! Mike is not elderly poodle though, she's out in California
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks George! That was literally blowing my mind!😅 You never know!
Yep, lol I can confirm I’m not Elderly Poodle ; )
@@WellSwung Teehee!😅

What were those moist pads you used to test that yellow necklace to see if it was bake light?

It was really fun to meet him and see such a great item!
Hey Kathleen!
I’m not familiar with Elderly Poodle unfortunately!
@@WellSwung gosh, how embarrassing! Sorry, Mike. Red face here!🙀
No worries!
Well hung ? Did u say ?
I believe the polar bear figures are early Krinkles by Patience Brewster. She was a classmate of mine and we live nearby, I will send this to her for verification.
That was my thought also.
I saw the part about fenton collaborating with other artists and I was looking at a cat figurine I got at goodwill and found the "Fenton USA stamp on the cat that I hadn't seen before. The cat is made of a heavy stone and there's a signature on the bottom of the cat that I'm still trying to make out. I just found it online. It is a Fenton Chocolate Glass cat and it's one of 2 pieces.
Cool! Chocolate glass cat is a good seller too
Those fashion plates are amazing, I think it is easliy worth $8000.-$10000. A real treasure!!!!
Very possibly so! If I'd had better wifi access, I'd have looked for comps
Very cool! I enjoy it immensely!
Looked on line for Quakehhold, but there are soooo many. Which one do you use?
great video and you have so much knowledge, pity the close ups were not clear to see the fine details
Hello to Mike (Well Swung) !
Hey Suzy! ❤
Oh I have a nice strung button necklace. I wear it lol
I wish that I had known that George was in Marshall. I live about 10 miles away.
I'll be back in September
Where did you get those bakelite testing strips?
I came here to find out too! Cool
I asked too!
I'm trying to find those bakelite testing pads. Do you know what the brand name is and/or where to find them?
Thank you so much for all your great information, George!
Answered my own question! Found them on Etsy.
The gentleman with the book may want to make sure the plastic bags he's putting his book in don't cause any damage to it.
Good point!
Noted.
Hello from Kansas
Didn’t McCoy mark some of their stuff USA on the bottom?
Yes, once they started selling out of country they had to
what are those cloth squares for testing for bake lite and where do I get some? Thanks
@theantiquenomad, do you know of any other you tubers who do what you do...but with a slant towards textiles instead of glassware or ceramics? Thanks!
Hi Mike 😊
Hey Kim!
This was a lot of fun!
Thank you everyone!
It's great George to see Heidi's ' Tiquestock' growing so fast.
That's wonderful.
Take care -Safe travels. ♡
It was sure fun for me too!
Wonder if he ever coes to Georgia, would love to bring something!
Something tells me that posting a photo of a child in a soldiers uniform nowadays would cause a bit of controversy.
I'm sure it did then too
I have a coffee table that matches that piece.
✨💖✨
Is that an evil eye piece, glowing glass?
Lane " Acclaim" is difficult to refinish because of the 2 types of wood.
Thank you for the line name, I always forget tht one for some reason
It really isn't that difficult. Stripping with Citrastrip, and then using a walnut stain over the entire thing and then using Howard's Wax n Feed is all I have ever done.
I collect cat figurines and things with cats on them.
My mom was a huge cat collector too
I can't believe you two men are handling that document without gloves! 😮
❤❤❤❤
18 minutes on the guy with the book? Really? So many other things worth the time. Great information otherwise. Love many of the items. A cheap "glue" for holding things down is dental adhesive. I've used it for a few years. Easily washes off and cheap.
Hard to watch this one with the interrupting woman.
I believe it is the person who is responsible for the recording and the feed when it was live.
