This was so entertaining. I love that you included shop footage at the start and then showed your purchased items in detail. BTW, I always prefer my art supplies to be 'non-injurious'. 😂
Thank you, I'd filmed a whole bunch of random things on our holiday and this footage ended up being an entire video on its own, lol. I wonder when "non-injurious" was a common phrase; it would help me figure out a date on those crayons! I have yet to find an answer...🧐
Loved it. Being an old person, I really enjoy seeing younger people who appreciate art supplies that were around when I was a child. You done good! I actually cook with a cast iron skillet my father bought in 1909! Cowboys used sand to clean their pans. You might want to get some fine grain sand from a craft store and use it to remove some of the rust from it. Most people use cooking these days to season their pans. My dad always used the fat back from slabs of bacon. Yup I am that old!
Ooh the biscuit tin is so cool and fancy!! I can’t believe how much things have changed. Many products these days aren’t made to last, but those old ones definitely were made to last a lot longer. I’m geeking out over the vintage Staedtler set haha. It’s fun to see the slight differences over time. It does look very 80s. And the vintage derwent ahh! This video is too much fun😂
The staetler set looks eighties to me. I probably have some similar knocking about! The tiny pot of leads are for a staedtler compass or dividers, I definitely have an eighties version of it, that is plastic so yours are maybe even earlier. The brass brush/pen rest is nice. I would clean it up too. A charcoal art piece would be good.
I didn't think of a compass but now you've said it, of course! That explains why the leads are shorter than ones which go in mechanical pencils! Thank you for that, haha! 😂
I didn't think some of my supplies were vintage, but I guess they are. My mother, 60 years ago ,bought me a set of Venice Paradice pencils. She told me they were expensive and to take good care of them. I did and still have most of them. They still work the same, the colors are the same. I got a good paint brush in 1964 and still have it and still use it. I think those crayons and pencils you got are infinitely older than you think.
I love how you have supplies that have lasted through your life! Yes I am pretty hopeless at putting dates on some of these things, they're purely guesses, haha. To think by very definition that vintage is more than 20 years, which means the year 2000 just fits into that category now! 😱
Becky, I hope I'm not too late with this: please don't use Brasso on your pen stand!!! Wash it in warm soapy water to get the gunk off it and leave the patina - that's how old things should look - and I'd love to have it myself! I hate to see old things like this made to shine like new. It takes away all the beautiful patina of years. I'd put both the Derwent Lakeland pencils and the Flying Eagle as old as the 1950's - when I was a child using these things. The picture on the Flying Eagle makes me think it's even older, as it ties in with picture books I've seen (and inherited) from the 30's and 40's. Apart from panicking about the brass pen stand, this was a lovely video to watch. I loved browsing around these places back in the UK, and occasionally picking up things to use in my own work and my students' classes. Thank you. Bingeing on two videos in a row means I'd better go and clean up my kitchen - rather late (it's 10.25 pm here in France!)
Fear not, I haven't cleaned the pen stand yet! I was always planning to start out with a gentle clean in water with dish soap, to take off all of the filth. I generally don't want vintage things to look new, but there is always a temptation to polish up brass to a high shine. I won't be hasty in my decision though! 😆
Aaaah, I LOVE that cast-iron cauldron! I have one of those cast-iron old-fashioned cooking stoves in miniature. It's my favorite thing ever. I love the box on the Flying Eagle Crayons. Those Derwent pencils were an awesome find (like you said). They also had a great box!
Awesome finds Becky! I love antiques and my art studio is filled with them - but to also find vintage office / art supplies is even better! Love the brass brush / pen rest and those last pencils you got. I also have to mention you inspired me with your restoration of the old metal paint palette; I found a vintage metal Reeves student box and since I already have some Rustoleum black and white paint on hand, so I am looking forward to fixing it up too! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you, I love antiques (and shopping for them, lol). Oh wow you should film your restoration of the Reeves box. I've just now seen that you have a channel; I'm heading on over to watch your videos. 😁
I was in Warnambool for the June long weekend. I was hoping to see some nice vintage stores, but I didn't come across any. It was a trip to see relatives, and reminisce about the summers we spent there as kids, and thus I just didn't come across anything like the Fletcher Jones market. I would love to find some art supplies in these stores too and also cool things to paint. 🙂
There were a couple of places in town but I couldn't say exactly where they were, or are....we tend to Google antique, vintage and art stores if we go to new places, to see what's around. 😄
I bought that exact tin mats steadtler there were karat aquarelle pencils in it , they’re really nice they lay down beautifully! And the tin I’m now using for water colors
Hi Becky, have you been to the Antique market in Yarra Glen? I don't live far from there so it was my go to place for what I collected at the time. I wasn't in to colouring back rhen so I never looked for art supplies. Wonder what I missed back then! We have got some great markets in Vic haven't we😀
Pa nice finds I love vintage art supplies , I collect or was goi g crazy with vintage watercolor tins for a while I bought some beautiful ones off ebay
Lovely work as usual Becky. Maybe you could reproduce the landscape on the Lakeland box using the pencils. I love your ink wells too. On the subject of the Night-watch I think I read somewhere recently that they had cleaned the painting and found out it is not night time a t all. Don't hold me to that though. Keep up the good work love watching your videos.
I have pencil crayons that are51 years old they are laurentiens ,I still use them and they work like the regular. Still has my maiden name on it. Never throw out to many art supplies . Lol I think that it makes me laugh when I hear that this art supply is out of date.
I love it when art supplies stand the test of time! Usually that is when they've been kept in good conditions and well looked after. Some of the things I've found are very neglected and I'm sure many items from vintage markets were probably kept for years in sheds or other places with too much summer heat.

We have a few pieces of cast iron cookware. Their biggest trouble is the weight of them, a frying pan weighs a ton! 😂
How fun! This makes me want to go tonour local antique mall and snoop for old art supplies.
It's always the luck of the draw; sometimes I find heaps of things and others nothing at all, lol!

It is definitely fun to see how products change and I am curious to see what they will be like in the future as well! 😊💜

I have that Rembrandt tin! My mum kept embroidery threads in it, and now I use it to store my pigment liners and brush pens :)
I love that! ❤
Wow what a haul, love the ink wells and old Derwents. I can spend hours in those kind of shops, so much fun.
Thank you, there are always so many things to look at, it's often hard to see everything, haha. 😂
Very interesting market Becky thank you for showing us something interesting from Australia that certainly isn't non-injurious!
Haha, that's rare indeed! 😂
@@BeckyTregear or it is non-injurious? Confused! Definitely you should shine up that lovely brass pen holder - nice find!

So intersting Becky! My fav was the ink wells!! Thanks for taking us shopping with you!! ❤❤🤗🤗🤗
I still need to clean them up. 😂

I am not sure what it is about cauldrons that appeals to me...I must be a bit witchy 🧙🧹 I do love a good box, and a metal tin is even more exciting! 😂
Vintage is my fav too!!! Cool goodies; always show us more :)

I would love to see a video using an artwork with them please. This was lovely and chill! You have a new subscriber here 💖
Thank you so much and welcome!
I bought that exact tin mats steadtler there were karat aquarelle pencils in it , they’re really nice they lay down beautifully! And the tin I’m now using for water colors
thats actually really cool to come across old pencils from Derwent 🙂
I'd never seen these before so it was a pretty exciting find! 😆
I remember using Lakeland Cumberland colour pencils that came in a tin as a child in the 70s. I would love to see you make art work with those
What a great memory! I will have to see if I can sharpen them better to do an artwork. 😂
Hi Becky, have you been to the Antique market in Yarra Glen? I don't live far from there so it was my go to place for what I collected at the time. I wasn't in to colouring back rhen so I never looked for art supplies. Wonder what I missed back then! We have got some great markets in Vic haven't we😀
I've been to the ones in the main street....I think so? Actually now I think of it, that is where I found the Rembrandt biscuit tin! 😂
Pa nice finds I love vintage art supplies , I collect or was goi g crazy with vintage watercolor tins for a while I bought some beautiful ones off ebay
I love vintage watercolour tins! 💜
Lovely work as usual Becky. Maybe you could reproduce the landscape on the Lakeland box using the pencils. I love your ink wells too.
On the subject of the Night-watch I think I read somewhere recently that they had cleaned the painting and found out it is not night time a t all. Don't hold me to that though. Keep up the good work love watching your videos.
Thank you! Oh wow that is such an interesting bit of information about the Night Watch painting! I'll have to look that up.
The crayons I had exact the same in primary school in chch nz. I'm 56 now
The Samson's x ones I also remember the next set .the flying ...
Oh that's great to know! I look at things I had as a child which are now considered vintage....how the years go by! 🫣
I have pencil crayons that are51 years old they are laurentiens ,I still use them and they work like the regular. Still has my maiden name on it. Never throw out to many art supplies . Lol I think that it makes me laugh when I hear that this art supply is out of date.

Some of the things I've found are very neglected and I'm sure many items from vintage markets were probably kept for years in sheds or other places with too much summer heat.
The crayon boxes looked old to me just judging by the art on the boxes, but what do I know about such things. Nothing, actually.
I don't know much either, but I'm with you on that one, that the art looks old.
I really like the statler mars tin i wouldve tried to out bid you on that piece...mikelle art mom 👩🎨🎨✍
I love that tin too! 😊
your pen or paint brush holder looks like it was made in the 1940s or 1950s
That would be my guess too. 💜
