I'll be making a video like this when I get set to clean out my parents attic. House has been in the family for 70 years
Those photos alone would have done it for me! That turned out to be one of the most fantastic attics I have ever seen!
Ohh I love videos like this. This reminds me of when i was about 7 years old and went through my grandparents attic. It was awesome.
What a find! I could spend hours up there exploring. It's a step back into time.
that was fascinating Jacub. There's stuff up there from the first world war through to the 1930's and seemed to stop around the 1970's with pills and medical corsets and the trappings of old age. poignant
Its literally an entire life
Old photos and postcards
are always a great find.
note to self: get rid of everything before I die.
uh yea, if u know when that'll be.
11:30 - Love those old timey pictures
That electrical wiring is called knob and tube if memory serves correct. Looks like an absolute treasure trove from the 30's, especially the old cupie doll doll with the original box! That medical device might be a truss.
My first house had that type of wiring, it's called tube and knob. There was more modern wiring also added to it. It made turning off circuits interesting because sometimes you needed to turn off 2 breakers!
What a great place! I could spend hours up there! That first clock you found was a travel alarm clock. The medical device was an old blood pressure cuff. I remember the old commercial on tv "get wildroot cream oil Charlie". It was some kind of tonic for your hair. I actually named my shiny black cat Charlie after that commercial. The old headset looks like one that went to an old telephone switchboard back when we had crank phones. Yes, I remember those because we had them until 1967 when my dad sold the telephone company. Keep up the great work on the videos.
Would love to see that photo album. someone needs to scan them at a higher resolution to save them. May have some cool North Carolina history in them
My dad has a set of drafting tools similar to the set you saw close to the start, the box with the velvet and looked like tweezers. I remember how much I wanted to play with it as a kid and how annoyed my dad would get with us touching it. It just looked so fun, lol.
I so hope all those wonderful photos found a home!!
Wow great old photos Jacob xxx
12:06 the pictures of the 2 women on the bridge-that reminds of me the bridge in Hot Springs, NC that goes over the French Broad River.
Awesome Exploration. Although sad that all that wonderful history remains without being appreciated.
A pair of compasses is for drawing circles. I love looking at old photographs and memorabilia. Such a shame there is nobody to look after all that history. :(
I agree; it's sad to think about someone's memories rotting away, vanishing little by little with each passing day. But it is fascinating to see those items and to see what life might've been like back then. Thank you for sharing the contents with us. I wonder what will happen to it?
Wow! How cool that must have been to discover all those treasures!!!
The clock in the case is a travel clock...my mum had one. They were very popular back in the 50s and 60s in the pre digital era.
4;15 drafting tool kit
Looking through somebody's valued and and treasures
That's awesome. The old timey photos & newspapers are cool.
The safety glasses are my favorite, same type I used for work. Same style just updated for safety purposes.
Nice old vintage stuff? Thanks for sharing!
This is one of your best... it's one of the most enjoyable and close to home on UA-cam I've ever watched. I really appreciate that you are respectful and treat everything with dignity. I got the exploring abandoned places bug from my Dad. He was the only one I felt really understood how cool all this forgotten history was, everyone else I knew just thought of it as junk. This was exactly the type of things we would find. He worked in construction and demolition and he would take me to his work sites and we would explore the basements and attics and everything in between. This was back in the early 80's so that wouldn't fly with the safety laws today taking an 8 year old kid into condemned buildings...Dad passed away a year and a half ago, he sure would have enjoyed your videos if he was around today to watch them. Thanks for reminding me of good memories today. Blessings, peace and good vibes sent your way.
That sounds absolutely fascinating
Wow! I Loved this! I loved all the old photos, medicine and the record player was simply AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!
2:00 - That is amazing!
Wow. I wish my attic was this interesting!
Very interesting explor. Thanks for sharing.
The little doll at +3:57 looks like a kewpie doll
wow that record player is life!! id clean it up and display it.
The landlord needs to get the American Pickers up there to go through all that stuff. They would have a field day with it and he would make some money.
the clock is actually a portable clock..my grandmother had one. it folded over to close and carry..opens to a triangle shape to stand upright
That's knob and tube. Don't touch it 😬
Believe me I didn't
I Love Old Pictures .. Great Video !!
9:10 - That is amazing!
Jacob you found some really cool antiques!!!
I think that "medical torture device" is a blood pressure cuff...
PedalingPrince I was thinking the same thing.
Paranormal-Junkies I believe it may be a corset
Jen C I wondered the same thing. Thought maybe I saw breast supports but wasn't sure
7:40 - That would make a cool postcard
If I were up there, I would be up there for hours! I collect antiques.
Those headphones at 5:39 are mono, meaning they're the same sound out of both sides, instead of "stereo", where there's a left sound and a right sound. That's something you don't see every day! :)
this was fantastic, great find my friend.
Thank you much!
Love it. So cool. Makes you imagine about the people who owned this stuff.
yes, the medical device is a blood pressure cuff. Pretty nice. I wish I owned that one.
you should do a part 2...very good video
Wow, cool stuff! Thanks for sharing!
There is much historical material in the attic.
The headset is one of the first years of radio.
You'd have to do something with it.
I love to treasure hunt in old attics
Attic treasure hunting is fun. I was in my parents' attic and did a vlog on all the old toys from mine and my siblings' childhood.
do you have a video of it. Would like to see it
The Headless Horseman Yes I do. Just click on the link below. I sent a 2nd comment with the youtube link. Enjoy! :)
There's definitely a little money up there in collectibles - wonder if the landlord will go through it after you move out. Also there's something so sad (and yet so interesting!) about seeing a woman's whole life just lying around in a mouse-chewed attic. Hope she had a good one.
Somebody needs to allow an auctioneer or someone to go through those things!
There is history up there !
She was obviously well-educated and seemingly, well-traveled.
If they were my belongings, I would want someone to enjoy them, take what they wanted ... wouldn't want them to rot away in an attic.
Holly Bronwyn Some of those things might be worth something to antique collectors. My husband would love to get his hands on the Mussolini/Roosevelt newspaper.
some cool little trinkets in there
Interesting video. Thanks for making and posting it.
Sad to see the memories of a lifetime tucked away & forgotten, yet 'tis an amazing find for a past dabber to happen upon. How easy it would be to lose oneself in relics of another's experience if it weren't for the stifling attic heat! Big change in the works all over. Good luck on yr move. We'll be leaving soon too. Priced out by greedy management. Enjoy yr new digs!
You should tell the Land Lord to call American Pickers. Very cool stuff.
That was so awesome! I'd love to see through these newspapers.
Same here, I get lost in old newspapers and magazines, especially the ads
Black Sheep72 i find it interesting what we all find interesting. i wouldnt get into the news papers too much for instance. i would be fascinated first and foremost by the old medical products and also the yearbooks.
true, it is so interesting to see how humans have evolved in a pretty short period of time
Sophie Katharina I love the old photographs myself. My family has some old picture portraits of my great-great-grandparents, kind of reminds me of those. I love looking at history through old photographs and seeing how much things have changed.
Fascinating stuff ! History time capsule ....
alot of cool stuff. unfortunately the landlord may call a clean out service and have it go to the dumpster.😞 so sad. I did a clean out and found books to 1880. the owner said take it or trash it. so I took some of the books was in great condition . sold 3 of them to a collector for $75 a book.
what a terrific find with all the photos!! Too bad you can't take and display somewhere!!
sad. to see pictures that family will never see,
Those are old "knob and tube" electrical wiring. You are lucky that they are insulated. Ours were not in the attic of our house making the inspection results for purchase of the mouse deemed to be extremely dangerous!
looooooove this Jacob!! love your content.
6:06 - "By Mennen!"
good luck on the move! you had some really cool finds! I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and I'm going back through some of your playlists and reliving old memories :)
I feel like I'm the only 'kid' that watches you:) I'm 18... but love the videos. Keep up the good work
What a goldmine! Fanatstic treasures. Maybe some Italian/ Dutch doctor thing going on.....very cool video!
What a dream to be able to go through that stuff! Id have so much fun. There are many websites out there that are dedicated to reuniting photos and heirlooms to families/relatives. Though the old woman may not have been in touch with or had any known relatives, there are likely family members out there who would love those photos etc.
Not Sure if you have done a vlog on Tweetsie Railroad in Boone/Blowing Rock. but that would be something to do this summer 2017 you and the Gang may enjoy it.
Jester Mc5 blowing rock, but not tweetsie
O" HELL TO THE NO ! now you've done it , you've stirred up the Spirit's now , hey good luck with that ! ttyl.
Also super interesting video! It's perfect that you'd have something like this under your nose given the content on your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Love the video do more in the attic pls
Yay! New video! Very cool.
dang that's awesome yet mad scary. That attic would be a great place for a paranormal horror movie
You know that all of that will end up in the garbage one day. This is really sad that someone's treasured life is in the attic.
You need to get all that paper out of that attic. AFIRE HAZARD FOR CERTAIN!!!!
That was cool, yet a little creepy...Thanks!
this would be a dream come true for me! i would spend hours and hours going through this. 😍 no houses like this in Australia.
most of them items worth lot of money today, sort them and treat them good.
(i love history and old stuffs like those in your attic)
Awesome that you did not have to go far for this adventure.
what a shame. should be cherished
I hope are having a Happy New Year. 🎊I really like your videos. Keep on making great videos. Thank you 😊
Travel clock and the thing that draws circles is a drafting set, Yes a shaving kit, I get a kick when people see things in abandoned houses and don't know what they are and I've had or seen and know what it is, I guess that is what you call being old. I saw a teenager that did not know what a rotary phone was.
I'm most interested in the paper ephemera and photos, as well as the little ceramic doll. You seem to be most interested in all the drugs, CB! Lol
I really liked this one
Hello, I've been watching your videos for some time. Thank you very much. Did you record more in this place? You have looked so much at the photos and great things behind you "overlooked" the Gramophone & Co. Thank you and greetings from Germany ...
Interesting, but sad her family didn't collect her things, some very interesting photos etc, you would think relatives would have wanted. Wish I knew the rest of her story.
karen4you Me too! I'm so curious!
Very possible she had no family left.
This was Super Cool
When I was a kid growing up in Northeast Ohio My parents owned our old house ,It was built in 1901 ,It had them cloth looking wires in the attic .My Dad always said " If I could afford an Electrician to come in and rewire this house I would " He always said one night them wires would burn the house down ..We sold the house and moved to Fla in 1982 ...Found out two years after we sold it it Burned down ..Fire department said the wires caused the fire ..My Dad never slept at night .Always worried about the house burning up with us in it
Yikes, makes me glad to be gone
Wow! this must have been taken some time back. I wish we had some of that heat now,,,you complain about the heat and I will complain about the cold....Very interesting stuff! thankyou,,, Sass
Filmed around September
Hi Jacob. Evening viewers!
cool may want to add that to your trip list if its not to out of the way. your girl would enjoy it.a quick Google search should give ya the run down on the rides the deer petting zoo and the cowboy show from the train. not all that big but packed with fun stuff to do and shops.
240... good lord.. I don't remember 240. Think that was about 7th grade lol
the old record player is a Victrola :)
Those old pictures were awesome, yet, definitely belong to someone's family they are, their ancestors, after all. Sad... The monkey card, etc. album is what We use to do way before computers came along, lol. : ))
WOW!
very intriguing finds... how do you find these places??👌👌👌
the carpetbagger going though other ppls items since "insert date here"
Firstly, when was this filmed that it's so warm up there? And some really great finds in that attic!
September
Ah, makes sense. I never liked going into attics in the summer.
AWESOME VIDEO.:-)
Please get some lighting up there and start sorting the stuff out ,i,d love to see all of it . I would have to put everything in plastic tubs, i think i would be up there forever just looking at all the photo,s . so cool !
