- Real ANTIQUES in Real Museum APPRAISAL FAIR! | VINTAGE Values
The little town of Greensboro, Florida packs surprises in the 1912 home of its most prominent early settler! We're guest hosting an appraisal fair as a fundraiser to support the West Gadsden Historical Society and their plucky group of volunteers, who are making it a fun and worthwhile place for history buffs and antique lovers to visit!
We start (and finish) with appraisals of actual values of everything from a silver mine's placer chart to a corn shucker that I needed help from viewers to correctly identify! Tiffany and stoneware, regional art and vernacular roadside paintings get equal time among this diverse group of items to be appraised.
Then we take a tour of this 'thrifted' museum, where donations include a very valuable piano, the likes of which most people have never seen! This is a time capsule of the early days of Florida settlement, with a spirited group of people taking us through the lives of the early settlers to this post-antebellum Panhandle town.

Hope you enjoy this! The last piece in the video is the $30000 insurance appraisal piece...so watch to the end :)
So the square piano is the "pièce de ré·sis·tance"
@@LauraMe... that’s right! They aren’t all so valuable but that one is quite rare now
The flooring in the house was epic so beautifully cared for. It looked to be cedar?
The historical aspect was as fun as the appraisals. Thank you
Thank you too! I agree
It's fascinating, your nomadic travels lead you to learn so much about the locals in any given area. Rural places keep the knowledge of their past, so there seems to be a real sense of place.
I really enjoy getting to know new places and people this way!
Thank you George and Xeno for all you do.
So grateful we get to do this!
George
That small barrel thing is a corn kernel remover. You place the corn on the cob on that center piece then use a knife to slide down and remove each kernel. The kernels then fell in the Bucket. I have used one.
Thank you very much! Now it makes sense how she was using it. I grew up in the country, but in the one home where no one cooked, so kitchen items occasionally escape me still!
Hello George. This was wonderful! Would that there were a cadre of teachers like you in grade school! Quite like the kitchen. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! I really think if people took the time to show kids the things of the past and how they were used, and let them handle them a bit, they would be more interested in history as opposed to reading dry facts in a book
@@TheAntiqueNomad I totally agree. And I think we'd be less of a disposable society.
Love the history of that home. It's great that man didn't totally ruin that Tiffany metal plate, I cringed when he said he used Brasso to polish the piece
Well he realized it as soon as he did it. I learned that the hard way on copper.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I suspect the Tiffany bowl is actually a collection plate for a church. It is very similar in form to those given as memorials to deceased parishioners. .
I very much enjoyed this entire episode. I love hearing the stories that go along with the pictures, relics, treasures and historic buildings. Thank you for taking us along.
I sure enjoy that part too, I'm glad you agree!
Truly enjoyed! Love the wall scones, my home was built in 1917 having the original scones still.
Oh wow! I really am a fan of sconces
Great community pride! Go Greensboro!
Yes very proud of what they're doing
Such a great video. Awesome people and so much information. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you! I sure liked the people too
Love watching this. It's all about learning just interesting information
Glad to hear it!
Hi George, I believe the corn bowl with the knob was used to cut the corn off the cobs; you would set the bottom of the cob on the knob and then trim off the corn kernels which would fall into the bowl.
I'm glad to know! Thank you, a few people knew them right away. My mom was not a cook...I'm sure lots of people knew this one right away
@@TheAntiqueNomad I didn't know either. My Mom was also not a cook. 😁
Sure enjoyed this appraisal show! I could listen to these all night! Thank you! ❤️
Love watching your appraisals! I learn a lot! 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I grew up in a 1912 craftsman home with high round ceilings , builtins and walk in closets . Mom remodeled the kitchen and in the walls were three beer bottles from the local brewery
Gah! This was fantastic. What lovely people. I must remember to look at my own preconceived notions. Loved the antique jacquard bedspread.
Thanks! I really enjoyed doing this one. The people were great, and I really got a lot out of that display...for example, I never thought about "redneck stereotyping" and yet I spend part of my year in Kentucky, where people surprise me all the time with their intellect and kindness, even if they "sound funny" to us northerners
You have a very pleasant way with people.
Thank you for taking us with you. That was so informative and your voice is so soothing. I could listen to you all day.
Loved this episode ❤️ Thank You George once again!! Enjoy the sun 😎
thank you too, your enthusiasm makes it worthwhile
George I love all your knowledge about all the vintage things. I like when dealers know about their merchandise! And you do!
I always learn so much watching your videos ❤
I'm so glad!
George and Xeno, thank you both so much. Another great video!
Thank you so much too!
I’m loving your videos! Especially, the appraisal videos! 😅
More to come!
You are my favorite thriftier. I love how nice you are and you know absolutely everything! Please visit us in OK anytime!!! My whole family just love you 🥰
Oh thank you! I would like to get together with folks there sometime and have a meet-up
Hey George! Can’t wait to watch!
Thanks! I think this one is fun
I’ve sent it out and posted it on Facebook to WGHS followers and friends!
Great video! Thank you for sharing the history and treasures in this museum.
You bet!

Wow, thank you!I’m pleased to do it
The objects presented are quite interesting as well!
💖
George is a smart man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi George. Love watching appraisals.
I have more to come
So glad I found this appraisal!! Thank you, very interesting.
Wow whoever is curating that cutest of houses is doing an awesome job ... The not politically correct display was really good excellent 👍👍💙😊
I thought they were too! That display was thought provoking in a way that a more lecturing display would've missed
I love your appraisals. This was a wonderful tour.
Boy you can store so much knowledge 🎉❤ your really impressive,ty
Thanks!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Hello George! Appraisal video! It’s going to be a good one! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoyed it!
The reality of antiques is usually in the story. Lots of people own many old things but only a small amount of it is a rags to riches story. Like the Faberge Egg found in a thrift shop. Personally I collect what I like, the price is tertiary. Did you know Simpson Sears sold House Kits over 100 years ago! I wonder if that classifies them as Antiques. I stayed in one that was a B&B it was a beautiful little home.
Very interesting! I love it!
Fascinating history! I LOVE that house 😍😍😍. So beautiful! It reminds me of the farmhouse I grew up on in Canada, though that was older and bigger. I prefer smaller though-less to clean!
And that blue looks great on you George; thanks for sharing this with us!
It was quite sweet I thought! That was a last-minute Goodwill shirt buy lol, thank you though, I thought I found a good one.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Definitely!
You are great🤩
Aww thanks!
❤❤❤
Hi George! Just want to say hello and I’m watching❤️
Thank you Diane, I really appreciate knowing you're interested!
you put the nut on the anvil and hammered it open
This was a wonderful video George. The info about the schools was fascinating. The museum tour was so interesting. And I always love the appraisals and the stories that go with them.
I love your appraisals so much, I hate to make this comment. Seems like the objects were easier to view in other videos. Maybe the position of the camera or the lighting? Or maybe just this old lady's eyesight! Still enjoyable. Thanks!!
No, I should've blown up the images more, in the past I've had the camera too close and this time it was too far back
@@TheAntiqueNomad, thank you, Dear Heart, for your considerate response. I don't know if the camera can EVER be too close!!
Hi George. Why did artist's not sign their work, or at least the main reason? Thx.
Some didn't sign because they felt they weren't masterful enough, some because they were encouraged to be humble, etc.
👋
Looks like a collection plate from a xhurch.
Do you have an antique quilt episode? I have many items I’d love to show you, mainly to find out whether to donate, or covet longer. I am in Santa Rosa, Ca in case you ever plan to be here. Thanks!
At ten minutes in I think it's a nut bowl. We had one when I was a kid and t
I bought a storage unit full of antiques jewelry, glassware, pottery etc. But I looked at one of the books and I was like hey I know that guy! Treasure craft pottery & pottery craft stoneware signed happy collecting by George higby
What's the value of my book george?
You could get one signed to you for $35 lol! I wonder who had that? What city was that found?
@@TheAntiqueNomad the storage unit was in lompoc California I believe the previous owner had multiple selling locations around the area like Solvang California.
Minor passion of mine is architecture. Homes up on blocks have nothing to do with air conditioning they have to do with flooding. Dogtrot or Possum Trot is designed like that😮
Flooding is why in most places, my Kentucky box house is built on piers because it's near water. But in Florida and Hawaii it was done even away from water for air circulation
@@TheAntiqueNomad that's impossible because nothing circulates through the house only underneath it I don't want to argue with you anyways have a great day hundreds of thought of a big rig box truck going down the road do you think cuz it's going 65 miles an hour that it's receiving any ventilation back there the answer is no because it has no holes to the outside same thing with a house on brick
black gal from Mississippi wow really
Where are these houses at? I live just a mile south of Jacksonville, Fl. Was born and raised in Jacksonville, Fl.
This is in Greensboro, to the west of Tallahassee
Are you antique expert
