- A family outing hunting for bargain is always fun. What ancient wonders did we find?
We now need to try and locate Mary Massey and Beth Donahue as we appear to have their scrapbook...
#antiques #bargainhunting
I'd have been all over the car badges, the Maxi, Mini 1000 , Simca, I would have bought loads to make a piece of wall art for my man cave front room.......yes, I'm single that's why I'm allowed such a luxury 😂
Watching this made me happy! Genuinely lovely people enjoying their time together!
In the next episode of Hubnotes: Team Hubnut hit the Antiques Roadshow to find out how much their purchases could be worth.Really like the look of the hand drill.
LET'S hope you, The Hub Nut Family, can reunite that lovely scrapbook to its family what a brilliant video that would be.
New channel - HubTat!
What a pleasant change! Thanks for taking us on this treasure hunt ! And what an affordable prices! 🫶👍🏻👍🏻🆙
These places are prohibited for me ! I collect to much and already have enough collectables ! According my lovely wife 🤔! 😂😂😂
Nice Sony TV. I remember one like it at school (either the school's, or brought in by a teacher). A bunch of us pupils gathered around it to watch a varsity rugby match. Of all things.
1 minute 30 seconds in, and Ian has already tried to add 20p onto the keys for 30p, and then mix up coins. Good work sir
In Scotland they would be called "Wally Dugs", there is even a poem dedicated to the wally dug. A hand drill and a gas soldering iron are always useful things to have.
When young master Hubnut was showing us his green glass bowl with lemons (fine title for a still life watercolour) my first thought was "Is that uranium glass?" Sure enough! That was a great find.
The original cordless Drill …well done Ian
Every charity shop has China dogs. It's the equivalent of typewriters in museums. 😊
What a great little Shop …..
You could be the next David Dickinson, "Ian Seabrook's any old sh*t "😅😉 I'd watch it 😁
Fun things found in *junk* shops. wooo hooo.
I think I posted up some of the things I have found on the Rustival friends page before.
I found a still packaged Polco Phone holder for a car from 1994 a couple of days ago. Ideal for that 90's classic.
As somebody living in The Potteries, those are particularly fine pieces of tat! 😀
I bought a hand drill in Bala some years back. Useful if you simply want to drill a piece of wood when using a power tool is inconvenient. Still haven't used it!
No battery you have remember to recharge or an extension cord you need to find to use the drill.
i think the collie dogs are a pair(mirror image of each other), excellent!! a sort of collie version of Scottish "Wally Dugs", put on a mantlepiece, above the fire. i did see a pair of wally dugs in the video. wat a find that is!!!!! 2.12 for dogs
Lot's of hidden treasures. You've all done well. Looks like it reads Wilfred and Ted on the scrapbook photo.
I’d have taken that Savanna badge in memory of my old Renault 21 Savanna ‘Daisy’
The scrapbook is from WWII era Canada. The bit about the Mounties is a dead giveaway
There's a lot of Rhode Island in there too.
@@hubnotes perhaps Mary was an expat like my mother was
Isn't the Rhode Island / Cape Cod area a popular holiday destination for eastern Canadians?
A scrap book sent back home by a war bride?
@@cornishhh my family went to Cape Cod several times when I was a kid but I can't remember if we ran into any of our fellow countrymen and women while on the Cape
I could spend a lot of time in these shops thanks Ian & family
I'm also a collector of Uranium glass, a lot of people collecting it now.
Spotted that also. Not my topical avitar 😀 I'm a glass artist and I like collecting Radium glass. More into the drinking glasses etc.
if you ever find yourselves here in the Northwest may i suggest a visit to Bygone times near Chorley. 6 halls of eclectic tat,,ahem,,wonderfull mixed treasures to keep you entertained for a couple of hours. They have a Reliant Rialto outside and a lovely little cafe indoors (hall 1)
Great vlog, I miss North Wales a lot as I used to do a lot of bargain hunting in Bangor and surrounding area. Loverly scenery, lovely country.
Like the dog models - my mum would have loved them. I would have been buying random tools in there. :)
Great finds, I have a gas soldering iron and hand drill both very handy as for the dogs, no comment, Lol.
Following on from LGR, we now have HubNut Thrifts!
Those Portasol soldering irons are surprisingly good. Not the usual Chinese gimmick. My dad got one back in the 80s and still uses it from time to time. Being an electronics engineer, from time to time he has to solder stuff when nowhere near a power source. Equivalent to a 30-40W iron. Useful for car connectors. Refill from a cigarette lighter gas canister.
Funny, I came here to wish Mini Hubnut good luck with the soldering iron as I had one from new and it never worked!
Can't remember the last time I saw a Lassie type collie or the mini version, the sheltie. You could always use that gas solderer to trace under bonnet vacuum leaks not lit though !
Considering my town sudbury suffolkis absolutely riddled with charity shops we have nothing like this would love a wander round.
Next show will hairy hubnuts cooking show 😂
another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍
Please do more I enjoyed this especially in this throw away society.
I love places like that. I very rarely buy anything, but you never know what you might find.
Depending on the price I may have bought that red Corgi Heinkel to keep my blue one company.
Really cool video Hubnuts, I would have bought the musket that was above the shelf at 2:08 😊👍
The Hublets are growing up fast.
That they are. Terrifyingly quick!
The shilling was two shillings, a florin. Threepenny bit three pence not three bob.
I search charity shops for model cars. Thanks for sharing Hubnut clan
2:12 My granny had a pair of those dogs and after she died my mum put them out on the patio as she didn't want them in the house. I then broke one with a football so mum threw the other one away on the pretext that there's no point having just one. She was probably grateful for the excuse.
The cinema ads in the scrapbooks appear to be in the Chicago area, which I hope prove helpful.
Proper bobbydazzlers. Have they got any 1933 pennies? There are some good charity shops hidden away in Newtown.
The name in the scrap book looks like Wilfred & Ted.
Got to love a good rummage. I inevitably find a model Mini to bring home. Do Steph and Miss Hubnut still compete for most hideous yet endearing find?
Absolutely. Though Ian denied me an absolute corker
@@misshubnut spoilsport
I watch Emma Cruises also!
AHH the Renault Savannah seen as such a good estate when the Renault 21 itself was seen in a poorer light compared to peers,
Don't forget witch we're a imported phenomenon.
Pennies with Queen Victoria's head are known as bun pennies.
I thought they'd be worth more than 50p.
I like the two Shetland sheep dogs (or are they rough collies?)
Hahaaaa, love this "side step" you did....had me going from "oeeeehhh" to "giggle hahaaa" and back....You lot are so refreshing and fun...and I mean "lot" in an affectionate way...and affectionate in a non freaky way....oh god, I'd better stop before a manhunt is coming my way...😂
If you've got first and last names, a rough time frame, and some vague locations you might be able to find obituaries online
Ian what was that old rhyming slang about “ Thrupenny bits “ 😁, can’t beat a good rummage around a charity shop and something very different from you 👌🏻.
I would have got more tools 😊👍🇮🇪
I dread my missus going into one of those shops. She always comes out bearing armfuls of "treasure".😕 We really do not NEED another old teapot, or china animal!!!
A fun, if sad, fact about the Nokia 3510, they have a habit of "forgetting" their IMEI codes, so back in the day, they'd work fine one day, and the next, it's a useless doorstop cos the ROM where the code was stored died and that was that, that aside though, I still have a 3310 somewhere, and my most favourite phone of that era was the 8310 (a red and white example there in that shop), cos it was so small... :D
Yeah but do your rememer how expensive the 8210 and 8310 were when they came out, at that time I was working in a mobile phone call centre (the worst 3 months of my working life!!) and I couldn't believe it. My bro in law had a 7110, another expensive one, me, I just had a basic Motorola, it did me back then lol.
@@graemew7001 By the time I got my first 8310, it was bought 2nd hand for not a lot (but unfortunately got IMEI blocked, so someone reported it stolen I guess), so was cheap, and my second one, cos I loved the first too much to let it go, was an ebay buy which was also quite cheap, so I never paid the new prices, or recall what they were! but Nokia was the iphone of its' day, overpriced for what it was, but it was a status thing I suppose...
Maybe it was just me but I always thought of the orange on the 3510 as indicators
I'm with Ian on the dog models! I have a similar disagreement with my wife who collects china dolls. She thinks they're really sweet whereas I am convinced they will come alive at night and murder us in our sleep!
AY UP MR HUBNUT AND HUBNUT FAMILY
Didn't fancy a pair of Walley Dogs then or already have a pair? That phone on the far right is like the Nokia I still use, bombproof,well almost as not waterproof.
I have a pair just above Ian's UA-cam button. More modern ones. Would love more pairs but I am forbidden!
The gas soldering iron should run on butane gas
Filled from a gas cigarette lighter refill canister.
Be careful don’t go to Cotswolds, very expensive Antique shops.
Wilfred & Ted?
Why does mini Hubnut always wear yellow wellington boots
Because he wants to.
@@hubnotes I love his quirkiness. it's very endearing!
Nice drill. I suppose that means we can look forward to some boring content on this channel in the near future 😹
War Bride maybe. Or British er moved to US because off the bombing in the south.
Ian, after you showed us your thrupenny bit, you showed us a florin, or two shilling piece. The first step of an abandoned Victorian decimalisation project, it continued in circulation until the 1990s alongside the 10p piece, so you will have used one many times. Shame on you. It clearly says two shillings on it.
Shame seems a bit harsh... It's just a coin.
@@hubnotes Just banter, guv. There was even the suggestion of innuendo in there. But it was a schoolboy error. A Gen Z or Alpha schoolboy, anyway.
I still have a Nokia 3510. It's one of my most prized possessions. It's the only thing I have that belonged to my late boyfriend.
I have a yellow dressing gown that belonged to an amazing female friend who sadly passed, it doesn't matter the object, it's what it means to you and the memories it brings back that matters. All the best.
@@graemew7001 Thank you. And I totally agree. In any other circumstances an old Nokia 3510 is just a bit of worthless old tat. But it means a hell of a lot to me.
