My mom bought a small house in 1976 when I was a senior in high school. The living room, kitchen & her room had knotty pine. It also had a built in bookcase. I can’t see knotty pine without thinking of her😌 It’s a “comfort wood” for me...if there’s such a thing😊
Oh the nostalgia of Knotty Pine. We would go to my grandparents house in the early 60s for Sunday dinner. The most beloved people I’ve ever known. After dinner we would sit in the living room to watch Bonanza. Dim lights and the volume turned up so loud the theme song would reverberate off the Knotty pine. The smell of that wood was so comforting and I loved that paneling as a five year old. I can still go there in my mind in my 50s. You have no idea how much I get out of watching your videos and hearing your feelings on things that bring back strong memories. Thank you
My daddy's house has it all through it , the house I was raised in . House was built in 1929 . Love this old house .Beautiful ,also the old doors and knobs , arch door ways .
Ha! You are ToO Darn Funny! Glad you are back! Uh, the ebb and flow of what's hot & what's not. Ah, a kindred spirit of black licorice! You and Salem stay cool in this WicKeD Heat!
The reason that depression ware/ carnival glass/Noritake/ Frankoma...or whatever else you may have is not selling for a good price is that the people who were sentimental about that stuff....because their parents or grandparents or great aunt had it...well, sad to say, we are dying off! It means nothing to the young people today, instead, they get excited to find a milk glass florist's vase that we use to buy for a dime and sell for a quarter! I watch you thrifters...and you actually don't disappoint me often...you buy quality or unique items...things I would look for, but some of these young thrifters go in and buy something for 25 cents and turn around and list it for $25. I KNOW that is the name of the game, but really??? When we had our shop, we figured if we doubled our money, we were doing well. Okay...that is my rant. I loved learning about that Fenton pattern, btw. Fenton is my love!!
If I purchase an items for $3.00.....I have no problem "doubling my money" when it's as easy as placing the item on a flea market table and selling it for $6.00. Or putting it on the shelf in a traditional brick and mortar shop and waiting for it to sell. But "on line" E-commerce selling is different. I must weigh the time investment that it takes to clean the item, research the item, photograph the item, upload and edit the photos, type up the listing, pay the listing fee, pay the final sales commission fee, pay for the packing materials and finally wrap and ship the item. In most cases (when selling on line) selling a 3 dollar tea cup for 6 bucks just won't pay the bills. My father and I sold in a traditional antique store for over 15 years and it was much easier to sell more inexpensive items without the "on line" process. It's true that trends come and go and items fall in and out of fashion. I try my best to keep on top of things. I'm so glad you love Fenton as I do. Thanks for watching and for your insightful comment.
@Catherine I would agree with you, Catherine. While "Caught in Love" makes a valid point about "older" collectors dying off, I wouldn't quite say that ALL young people have a disinterest in items manufactured before the 1970's. I too know some folks in their 20's who enjoy and appreciate items older than Pyrex and Tupperware!
Scott's Old Curiosity Shop, Watch Mad Girl Vintage! There are old souls out there, but they are rare. Fortunately for me, my grandson is one. He’s 21 and totally in awe of old stuff, including Grandma. (sigh)
E selling is more expensive than regular brick and mortar. You have to do so many things to do just to go online. In some cases if you have an odd piece, the bigger market is better. But the small stuff selling online is a farce. I don't know how some of these people make money by selling coffee cups.
Wouldint say that as if youve been paying attention there slowly being replaced by the younger generations as im 20 and have been collecting for a while now and theres more and more people my age doing this all the time because glass collecting is a hobby that has been around for thousands of years and it doesn't just take older people to appreciate good quality glass its not going anywhere however its more that hes using ebay and not another platform bet the same dish is going around the 10 dollar range on other platforms if not then its at least a stable $6 to $7 also depends on the pattern is as i havent gone wrong with a peice of depression glass yet every time ive easly 3x to 4x ed my money on the low range even using ebay prices but some patterns they made for decades so theres millions of them laying around somewhere. they were sending glassware out buy the traincars full so theres still alot of it floating around even though some of its quite old theres also decades of reproductions floating around especially in the more sought after peices that 90 percent of people have no clue how to spot wich is why ebay prices are lower because the people who do know the difference arent on ebay and are thrifting it instead why pay "retail" for something you need $70+ dollars worth of books to be 100% shure its authentc when you could quite easly find it at an estate sale or a thrift shop for a dollar or 2 the only expensive depression glass is stuff thats fragile and sought after or full sets other then that not usually super expensive as long as you learn the market for things like this and what makes them expensive and exactly how much there selling for then youll do really good its just most resellers do little to no research then are shocked when they loose there shirt on something know what youre buying before you buy it and know the market for it.
My house was built in 1876. When we bought it, someone had done a room in knotty pine. We didn't think it went with the Federal style so we used it to make wainscoting and chair railing for the dining room and stairs. But I enjoyed it while we had it. It made me feel like I was at a lake cottage. Lots of uses for that stuff.
TFS! Big LOL right out of the gate! Appreciate you adding pics & nuggets of knowledge! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️🇺🇸 PS- I guess I’m a sentimental fool! I just like that old stuff and I’ll probably be thought of as a hoarder when they come through my house! They sure don’t make things like they used to!
So happy to see a video from you! I have been having withdrawals 🤣 Happy Christmas in July! Do a video on your Xmas in July finds🙏🙏🎁 l just love hearing you talk 💪
I have a knotty pine memory too. In the mid-80s my mother put Victorian print paneling in the dining area, and my father put knotty pine paneling in the living room. We had the 70s chunky wood furniture, and Dad hung hunting lodge items on the wall. This was an open concept first floor. To make matters worse, my mother was into the duck with the blue bow theme decor in the kitchen. It was horrible!!! Even at 8 or 9 years old I knew it was bad!
Scott you made me smile, thanks for that. I knew a lady who picked every pink depression glass piece from the flea markets (end of 80'). Thank you for this informativ video. Have a great weekend!
I bought a piece of beach property years ago and the large building that was part of the purchase had been used as a place to park their RV. The rest of the building was fitted with a bedroom, living and kitchen duo and a loft. All of the rooms were paneled in knotty pine. I lived in the building while waiting for the home to be built. Years later i sold it to move closer to my elderly parents. The lady that bought the property tore out all the knotty pine and threw it on a burn pile. I cried when I found out by a neighbor. she was as shocked as I was.
My parents added a den onto their house in the late 50s and it was knotty pine along with all the kitchen cabinets. I saw some at the restore here and considered redoing the lower level in that wood.
I am doing all my flooring in knotty pine. With regards to the eBay prices: I am in Canada and did a search query for the same pink candy dish in your hand. On March 15 2024, one sold for only $1.72 with one bid, but the shipping to me would have been $35.13 (these are Canadian dollars). So that dish is actually worth $37 to a Canadian. Another sold on April 5 2024, for $11.02 with $39.98 shipping to Canada. So that one was worth $51. If it isn't available locally and you really want it to complete your collection, it can get quite expensive.
I don't have knotty pine paneling but my cabinets are . My house was built in 1950 and the cabinets are good, sturdy cabinets. We remodeled our kitchen but didn't change them just refinished them and added a few more. I just couldn't see tearing out something perfectly good or maybe painting them.
The entire bedroom of our 1958 home was knotty pine. When we remodeled the house I painstakingly stripped, sanded and refinished each piece and put it up at about 5' high around the entire room. It's beautiful. I love sleeping in that room. My parents had it in our 1950"s kitchen.
Its sad! I was just thinking about this the other day. My Grandmother, Mother & I used to go to antique shows in the 80's & there were tables full of depression glass. I still love it. Scrub hard enough on the Pyrex & get a "RARE" blank. LOL
When my Dad re did our house in 1972 he bought the knotty pine from the town Post Office when they remodeled. He put it in my Mothers bedroom. Later my sister bought the estate after parents both passed away and the people who bought it from her took out the knotty pine. :-(
We have a Habitat Restore here in Dover. I love it! Bought the most beautiful vintage wooden tea cart with 2 drop leaves and a removable tray. It has the large wheels on front and the small wheeles in back. I've also found some amazing pottery and glassware. I left the other day with half a boxful for $7.10! Also, the kitchen cabinets in the house I moved out of around 7 years ago, had all knotty pine (I think I spelled that right) kitchen cabinets. Once again, great video!
Haha ... you always crack me up! I was so happy to see the notification bell for your video! I buy for myself so it's pretty easy to just get it at the asking price but for re-sellers I'm sure it's a pain when there are a lot on the market. Great tip!
I made the same mistake about 2 months ago with the same pink candy dish 😞 so don't feel bad. It is very pretty so guess I'll have to keep it. Missed your videos. Happy you are back.
I have sincerely missed your videos. I like your style! Getting tired of so many of new thrifters with the coffee mugs and such. I miss the good old days, maybe the pendulum will swing back
In the late 50s dad built a den onto the house. It was completely lined with floor to ceiling knotty pine, with built in desks and bookshelves for my brother and myself.
My entire neighborhood was naughty pine! Oh, I mean knotty pine. Scott, welcome back to reality. A much needed break I suppose? Scott, mistakes are corrected when you sell at the flea market. Light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Chips though, are the kiss of death!
We moved to a brand new ranch style home in 1960 that had a knottypine kitchen den combo. The cabinets were also. In the 80s my MOM had all that painted white. Such a brighter look for her. 👵💖🦋
I wrote a comment but I dont think it went through . Glad to see you . I think it will come back around so for now I'm going to scoop it up for cheap because I love pink depression glass .
I too am a lover of the pink depression glass. I favor a shabby chic décor in my craft room & these are such a beautiful addition to my room. With that said, my issue with most of these purchases on eBay is the rising cost of shipping. If I can find them on Facebook MARKETPLACE where I can purchase locally and save the shipping I will spend my money and time driving to pick them up, examine them personally and perhaps meet a fellow collecting friend. Your store and TH-cam videos are the highlight of my days; causing my own trippin' down memory lane with a cane and a smile! THANK YOU! I keep watching for something to purchase from your shop. At some point the price and the shipping will not be a factor; the passion will over ride all else and that WILL be the day! ;-) I love this era that you so eloquently deliver your own knowledge of & passion for and I so appreciate the time and effort you put forth on behalf of so many of us that have that passion too. Please know you touch so many unspoken fans out here in the E-commerce world!! Sending air-hugz!
We built a retirement/vacation house on a riverbank a few years ago. I found a place to mill an exact duplicate of the old knotty pine that we used on some of the interior walls. It certainly gives the place a rustic homey feel. Also, I have to say that clear Manhattan glass is my favorite. I go to a lot of auctions and thrift stores and never see it!
Yeah, sentimentally was hard for me to learn as a child of a dealer. Mom would buy it , love it, sell it a month later. Though I still collect things but I value people and time more.
If I like it I don't care if it's repro. I bought some new glasses at Sam's back in the 70s. They're 50 years old now- vintage. My granddaughter will sell them maybe, or keep them. But those $1 pink glasses will sell at a garage sale for that easily, and I had years of use and pleasure from them. It's not always investing that make people collect glass.
Omg Scott! I just love your sense of humor! The butterprint bowl 😂. You’re so right about depression glass though. It really isn’t a big seller unfortunately because it’s beautiful.
My parents' entire kitchen was paneled in knotty pine....walls AND ceiling. My dad remodeled the kitchen in the early eighties and custom built all the kitchen cabinets out of the knotty pine he removed.
Well Manhattan pattern was reproduced in the 1980's but I still think the value would have dropped anyway. I still LOVE Depression glass even though the values have fallen.
Its not the end of the world! Its just a pink bowl. I live in Sweden so I cant by It. But I think Its beautiful. Dont be so hard on yuor self. Im not sure about my spelling. Hope its right. I just love the depression glass Yuo had!! Soo beautiful!!❤
Thank you Maria in Sweden! The Swedes were some of the very first Europeans to settle in my native New Jersey. In fact, I often go thrifting in a little New Jersey town called Swedesboro!
Yay!! I too was having Scottie withdrawals. So good to see your adorable face. I love the pink depression glass & think its beautiful. If I had room for it, id buy it all up ! Thanks for another great vid, the intro was hysterical!!
Knotty pine, wow my first appartment had naughty pine, lol (knotty). I was a newlywed so both were appropriate. 😉😂 I would have bought the peach luster custard cups!! I love peach luster, but I use it. And no hand washing at this house, so they will fade with time. That console bowl was beautiful, to bad it was chipped. I am 2 years older than you so I have the remembering fireking and depression glass at the higher prices as well. Used to ebay, then i remarried and stopped. Thinking about trying it again.
Oh, now I have that "Sentimental " song in my head...flipping through my vinyl looking for Jack Sheldon version (its alittle on the jazzy side but very nice and crisp) and of course after that gotta play his "Bye, Bye Blackbird". 👍
Nice to see you Scott! I love knotty pine. Good memories. And it’s a shame that beautiful glassware has depreciated so much. People collect different things today. I read in the comments about resellers thrifting coffee mugs. Unfortunately that must be the trend at the moment and if that’s what’s selling... then what can you do? I love your videos because I come away with a bit of knowledge and usually a chuckle. Don’t beat yourself up over the candy dish, it’s still a lovely piece. Enjoy it while you have it. Much respect and love from Pittsburgh.
Scott, I always enjoy your presentations and your take on the things that you find. I think it would be interesting if you selected a group of things you kept for yourself. I know you always mention when you are going to keep something, but I would like to see a group.
Long time no see . I love your videos and your collections. The problem is the kids nowadays even my own 3adult children don't have that appreciation we had. I try to teach my kids now about different things. I appreciate you. Thank you Cheryl 💜
I still pick up pink and green depression glass whenever I see it for cheap. I love it. I don't care that it's not popular right now. But I understand if you are re-selling it's not worth it to pick it up.
Thank you for the great lesson how to get to detach yourself from being attach to things and thing resell value. I am knew to EBay, so taking serious your advise.
Yes, the road to destruction is paved with pink depression glass! I remember my mom's infamous words as she "invested" in the pink Cabbage Rose "Sharon" depression glass piece by piece until we had a completed set for 6 (which was showcased proudly in my china cabinet for too many years)! This investment is for your old age she said! Don't sell it until you need money for your golden years she said! LOL I ended up giving the whole dang set away as a little inheritance to my daughter-in-law who just loves dishes and doesn't care! I kept the covered and footed candy dish because it belonged to my grandmother....such is the sad story of the bottom dropping out with a sickening "thud". I am afraid the same thing is happening with my antique *real photo* postcards too! I hope your wax teeth for Halloween aren't melting in this awful heat ...haha Waving and melting from Michigan
The market is doing much better now the bowl in the video is now 25 to 30 dollars as now its over 100 years old causing the price to skyrocket at first thought ebay was off on price a bit but then i relized this video was 4 years old before alot of the major improvements in the market as theres alot more people talking about it and theres alot more clubs dedicated exclusively to it now. Btw pink is the most sought after color but its also the most produced color aswell. Depending on the set some of them are kinda expensive just it really depends as some sets they made for 2 3 years then theres some they made for decades but also some peices are just super expensive alone and others are 10 to 15 a peice. glad to hear you gave it to someone who likes it. as glass collecting isint for everyone. Btw as of now just the dish you kept is worth around $75 dollars with chips!!!! Was doing some digging the whole set is worth around $700 dollars
Hi Scott, Yes,I have fond memories of "Knotty Pine", Our kitchen was all Knotty Pine when I was a little girl in the 50's,also, there was a much visited Diner in N.J. called "The Knotty Pine Diner" (Great food too). Curious....Are you a teacher ? You have an engaging way of speaking,I really enjoy your voice. Have a great weekend ! Cindy
You paid so little for it. I would just keep it. I think they are beautiful ! I'd rather have that, than spent it on a pop! Jadite ! In anything is my favorite ! You, don't see the antiques in Oregon. Like you do there!
Hello Scott!!! Well, the pink depression glass is very pretty to look at anyway ☺️. I still have the knotty pine in my house, and I love it. It lines the stairway going upstairs. Also have the banister too, that I carved my initials in when I was a kid 😂. #knottypine
My handle is a word my daughter used at age 2 to describe anything pink, fancy, fluffy and/or sparkly. Since I love all of those things, I adopted it. So I think you know wich big cookie jar I would pick.
It’s really funny, last night I was filming a video called “I didn’t buy the charity shop decanters”, I haven’t even edited it yet, but I came on to check my channel this morning this 4 year old video was the first video shown to me. Do you think TH-cam is tracking the creators?
I wonder if Bar Keeper's Friend will restore my Philadelphia Starbuck's mug from 1999 that was put in the dishwasher one too many times? My grandparents' whole basement was knotty pine... the lower half of the walls anyway, very understated.
And I wonder who bought them, Replacements I bet BC their buying it all up and someday all this beautiful glassware will go back up in price. Yeah, 40 years ago we couldn't afford it back then.
I love anything pink and anything with roses on it. I would of purchased that pink depression glass candy dish for myself. But I do understand what your saying its not worth your while to purchase it to resell it. I
My mom bought a small house in 1976 when I was a senior in high school. The living room, kitchen & her room had knotty pine. It also had a built in bookcase. I can’t see knotty pine without thinking of her😌 It’s a “comfort wood” for me...if there’s such a thing😊
Oh yes....comfort wood....I totally get that!
Oh the nostalgia of Knotty Pine. We would go to my grandparents house in the early 60s for Sunday dinner. The most beloved people I’ve ever known. After dinner we would sit in the living room to watch Bonanza. Dim lights and the volume turned up so loud the theme song would reverberate off the Knotty pine.

You have no idea how much I get out of watching your videos and hearing your feelings on things that bring back strong memories. Thank you
Thank you for sharing! I can just picture your grandparents and that knotty pine living room! And oh yes....that wonderful smell!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes.....Bonanza on Sunday nights......
retrobebop61 Love to hear that !
My daddy's house has it all through it , the house I was raised in . House was built in 1929 . Love this old house .Beautiful ,also the old doors and knobs , arch door ways .
Oh that house is right up my alley!
Ha! You are ToO Darn Funny! Glad you are back! Uh, the ebb and flow of what's hot & what's not. Ah, a kindred spirit of black licorice! You and Salem stay cool in this WicKeD Heat!
Salem and I are keeping cool. Nice to meet a fellow black licorice lover!

Hi! I recently found your channel, and I am hooked. I'm enjoying your videos very much.
Oh thank you!
So happy to see a video from you! I have been having withdrawals 🤣 Happy Christmas in July! Do a video on your Xmas in July finds🙏🙏🎁 l just love hearing you talk 💪
Welcome back you're so original and true to thrifting. You cant' stay away too long becausr we're addicted to your knowledge and humor.
Oh thank you!
Oh my ! Crazy how much I missed you. I’m soooo glad you’re back!
Awwwww thank you!
He's my favorite!!
😂 I about spit my Triscuit onto the screen 😂 Damn that was funny; “with a little Barkeeper’s Friend, it’ll be just like new!” 😂
How did you get the Triscuit spit off of your screen?
@@oldcuriosityshop265 with barkeeper's friend.. lol
Scott's Old Curiosity Shop I think you know 😂👍
Same!! That was fantastic...hehe!!
Our 1930 Catskill Mountain cottage is almost all tongue and groove pine and I love it. I will never touch it.
I have a knotty pine memory too. In the mid-80s my mother put Victorian print paneling in the dining area, and my father put knotty pine paneling in the living room. We had the 70s chunky wood furniture, and Dad hung hunting lodge items on the wall. This was an open concept first floor.

Yes knotty pine in the house I grew up in...love it!
I love it!
Robin Howland,
I love knotty pine!
We live in a MCM Cape Cod home built in 1955. We have the original knotty pine paneling on the basement walls with a matching bar.
My parents added a den onto their house in the late 50s and it was knotty pine along with all the kitchen cabinets. I saw some at the restore here and considered redoing the lower level in that wood.
Scott's baaaack! You're my favorite TH-camr and I've been in withdrawals.
Thank you!
I have a clear glass Manhattan bowl with handles that belonged to my Fraternal grandmother. It's the only thing I have of hers. It's precious to me.
I am doing all my flooring in knotty pine.
With regards to the eBay prices:
I am in Canada and did a search query for the same pink candy dish in your hand. On March 15 2024, one sold for only $1.72 with one bid, but the shipping to me would have been $35.13 (these are Canadian dollars). So that dish is actually worth $37 to a Canadian.

If it isn't available locally and you really want it to complete your collection, it can get quite expensive.
The house I grew up in had two very large dens paneled entirely with knotty pine. Oh the memories
I don't have knotty pine paneling but my cabinets are . My house was built in 1950 and the cabinets are good, sturdy cabinets. We remodeled our kitchen but didn't change them just refinished them and added a few more. I just couldn't see tearing out something perfectly good or maybe painting them.

Yet haven’t heard anyone say, “ spray paint those old vintage frames!”( pretty)
Had a pink sugar bowl offshoot of Fostoria “ America” ( thrifted)
The entire bedroom of our 1958 home was knotty pine. When we remodeled the house I painstakingly stripped, sanded and refinished each piece and put it up at about 5' high around the entire room. It's beautiful. I love sleeping in that room. My parents had it in our 1950"s kitchen.
Its sad! I was just thinking about this the other day. My Grandmother, Mother & I used to go to antique shows in the 80's & there were tables full of depression glass. I still love it. Scrub hard enough on the Pyrex & get a "RARE" blank. LOL
When my Dad re did our house in 1972 he bought the knotty pine from the town Post Office when they remodeled. He put it in my Mothers bedroom. Later my sister bought the estate after parents both passed away and the people who bought it from her took out the knotty pine. :-(
Good to have you back Scott. 👍🏻
Oh knotty pine memories. Just ripped ours out. Men would buy 1 plank every payday to work on their basement club rooms/ bars little by little.
We have a Habitat Restore here in Dover. I love it! Bought the most beautiful vintage wooden tea cart with 2 drop leaves and a removable tray. It has the large wheels on front and the small wheeles in back. I've also found some amazing pottery and glassware. I left the other day with half a boxful for $7.10!
Also, the kitchen cabinets in the house I moved out of around 7 years ago, had all knotty pine (I think I spelled that right) kitchen cabinets.
Once again, great video!
The Bar Keeper's Friend reference in the beginning was hilarious!
Haha ... you always crack me up! I was so happy to see the notification bell for your video! I buy for myself so it's pretty easy to just get it at the asking price but for re-sellers I'm sure it's a pain when there are a lot on the market. Great tip!
Oh yes.....HUGE difference between buying for one's personal collection verses buying to resell.. Thanks for watching.
I made the same mistake about 2 months ago with the same pink candy dish 😞 so don't feel bad. It is very pretty so guess I'll have to keep it. Missed your videos. Happy you are back.
Thank you.
In love with that pink settee!
Yes, I have knotty pine memories---my brother's bedroom upstairs had at least one wall paneled with it---thanks for the reminder!
I just found that same pink candy dish for 2.99. I love it! I think it’s sooo cute!
Hooray, hooray, hooray!!!! So glad that you are back!!!!
Thank you!
I have sincerely missed your videos. I like your style! Getting tired of so many of new thrifters with the coffee mugs and such. I miss the good old days, maybe the pendulum will swing back
Awwww thank you!
In the late 50s dad built a den onto the house. It was completely lined with floor to ceiling knotty pine, with built in desks and bookshelves for my brother and myself.
I would absolutely love to have that candy dish. 💕
My bedroom was knotty pine !! Our Restore store is a great place for unique finds.
My entire neighborhood was naughty pine! Oh, I mean knotty pine. Scott, welcome back to reality. A much needed break I suppose? Scott, mistakes are corrected when you sell at the flea market. Light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Chips though, are the kiss of death!
Naughty pine!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!
If those basement walls could talk! I would be in jail now!
Rickey Donald,
Me too!
We moved to a brand new ranch style home in 1960 that had a knottypine kitchen den combo. The cabinets were also. In the 80s my MOM had all that painted white. Such a brighter look for her. 👵💖🦋
Oh those old knotty pine kitchens!
Loved the opening! 😄 I hope to find one of those Fenton “big cookie” jars in jadeite or lilac someday!
Barbie Szpila Me too Barb!
I live in a house from 1910 and I love the full cedar lined closet.
Oh I bet your house is lovely.
Thanks for that great lesson you gave! I learned so much! Kudos for that!👍
I wrote a comment but I dont think it went through . Glad to see you . I think it will come back around so for now I'm going to scoop it up for cheap because I love pink depression glass .
Thank you!
I HAD to Sub to you...the beginning made me smile..with the chipmunk voice ....Thank you. (from Australia).
Welcome Australia!!!
Yay! Scott's back! I missed your videos dearly!!
Oh thank you!
I too am a lover of the pink depression glass. I favor a shabby chic décor in my craft room & these are such a beautiful addition to my room. With that said, my issue with most of these purchases on eBay is the rising cost of shipping. If I can find them on Facebook MARKETPLACE where I can purchase locally and save the shipping I will spend my money and time driving to pick them up, examine them personally and perhaps meet a fellow collecting friend.
Your store and TH-cam videos are the highlight of my days; causing my own trippin' down memory lane with a cane and a smile! THANK YOU! I keep watching for something to purchase from your shop. At some point the price and the shipping will not be a factor; the passion will over ride all else and that WILL be the day! ;-)
I love this era that you so eloquently deliver your own knowledge of & passion for and I so appreciate the time and effort you put forth on behalf of so many of us that have that passion too. Please know you touch so many unspoken fans out here in the E-commerce world!! Sending air-hugz!
Thank you so much, MaryAngela.
I wish I had seen the listing; I would have bought it! 💗☺️
Great information! I'm just starting out thrifting for antiques and I've seen these bowls everywhere. Glad I didn't buy them.
I so loved that you smelled the pine wood, just to capture they childhood memories. Love your videos 😍
I'm from Colorado!!
We built a retirement/vacation house on a riverbank a few years ago. I found a place to mill an exact duplicate of the old knotty pine that we used on some of the interior walls. It certainly gives the place a rustic homey feel.
Also, I have to say that clear Manhattan glass is my favorite. I go to a lot of auctions and thrift stores and never see it!
Funny I don't often see Manhattan in clear either!
I have a large collection of clear manhattan glass - it started it with my great grandparent’s creamer and sugar.
Yeah, sentimentally was hard for me to learn as a child of a dealer. Mom would buy it , love it, sell it a month later. Though I still collect things but I value people and time more.
If I like it I don't care if it's repro. I bought some new glasses at Sam's back in the 70s. They're 50 years old now- vintage. My granddaughter will sell them maybe, or keep them. But those $1 pink glasses will sell at a garage sale for that easily, and I had years of use and pleasure from them. It's not always investing that make people collect glass.
It's a beautiful piece set the dish out and enjoy it's beauty.
Omg Scott! I just love your sense of humor! The butterprint bowl 😂. You’re so right about depression glass though. It really isn’t a big seller unfortunately because it’s beautiful.
TheThrillofTheThrift Thanks Dee!
My upstairs bedroom still has knotty pine walls and built in dressers.
My parents' entire kitchen was paneled in knotty pine....walls AND ceiling. My dad remodeled the kitchen in the early eighties and custom built all the kitchen cabinets out of the knotty pine he removed.
He lives! We're glad your back. That is sad the prices have gone down so much. I don't understand why, they don't make them anymore, or do they?
Well Manhattan pattern was reproduced in the 1980's but I still think the value would have dropped anyway. I still LOVE Depression glass even though the values have fallen.
soo happy your back...missed you...
Thank you.
Its not the end of the world! Its just a pink bowl. I live in Sweden so I cant by It. But I think Its beautiful. Dont be so hard on yuor self. Im not sure about my spelling. Hope its right. I just love the depression glass Yuo had!! Soo beautiful!!❤
Thank you Maria in Sweden! The Swedes were some of the very first Europeans to settle in my native New Jersey. In fact, I often go thrifting
in a little New Jersey town called Swedesboro!
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Swedesboro, how nice!😍 Yes so many sweeds went to U.S.A in the 1800. I have relatives that went but I dont know were to.
Yay!! I too was having Scottie withdrawals. So good to see your adorable face. I love the pink depression glass & think its beautiful. If I had room for it, id buy it all up ! Thanks for another great vid, the intro was hysterical!!
Thank you.
Haha! I saw That Very Dish at GW today! Did Not Get. BUt those Fenton pieces were gorgeous. Bet it hard to find them with that rattan handle.
Knotty pine, wow my first appartment had naughty pine, lol (knotty). I was a newlywed so both were appropriate. 😉😂
I would have bought the peach luster custard cups!! I love peach luster, but I use it. And no hand washing at this house, so they will fade with time. That console bowl was beautiful, to bad it was chipped. I am 2 years older than you so I have the remembering fireking and depression glass at the higher prices as well. Used to ebay, then i remarried and stopped. Thinking about trying it again.
Oh, now I have that "Sentimental " song in my head...flipping through my vinyl looking for Jack Sheldon version (its alittle on the jazzy side but very nice and crisp) and of course after that gotta play his "Bye, Bye Blackbird". 👍
You have great taste in music!
Nice to see you Scott! I love knotty pine. Good memories. And it’s a shame that beautiful glassware has depreciated so much. People collect different things today. I read in the comments about resellers thrifting coffee mugs. Unfortunately that must be the trend at the moment and if that’s what’s selling... then what can you do? I love your videos because I come away with a bit of knowledge and usually a chuckle. Don’t beat yourself up over the candy dish, it’s still a lovely piece. Enjoy it while you have it. Much respect and love from Pittsburgh.
Thank you Lisa!
tastes have changed.. depression glass was so hot in the 1970s and 80s.. now 70s, 80s and 90s are vintage. lol
fanorama1 So true!
I laughed so hard at the beginning 😂😂
Scott, I always enjoy your presentations and your take on the things that you find. I think it would be interesting if you selected a group of things you kept for yourself. I know you always mention when you are going to keep something, but I would like to see a group.
Hi Sally! Actually my very last video was all about things I kept for myself! The video is called “These are a few of my favorite things”.
Yay! Welcome back!!
Thank you!
Long time no see . I love your videos and your collections. The problem is the kids nowadays even my own 3adult children don't have that appreciation we had. I try to teach my kids now about different things. I appreciate you. Thank you Cheryl 💜
Thank you.
My pleasure love your shop and keep up the great videos. Some of your finds bring back memories from long ago. 😁💞💝💞💞🐋🐙🐡🐝😴😴🐾🐾🐾💟
I still pick up pink and green depression glass whenever I see it for cheap. I love it. I don't care that it's not popular right now. But I understand if you are re-selling it's not worth it to pick it up.
I love my pink depression glass. I’m glad it’s going cheap right now because it’s my fav.
Oh, there was also the entire knotty pine formal dining room in the original Southern Mansion I visited.
Ohhhh, I soo love the pink depression glass. 😢 it is soo pretty!! Love jadeite and vaseline glass too. I want soo many pieces but.... *sad*
ty for the info, and i'm looking forward to you meeting up with Jeffery and crew!!!
Missed you, glad your back
Thank you so much.
I love that knotty pine paneling.. grew up with it
Thank you for the great lesson how to get to detach yourself from being attach to things and thing resell value.
I am knew to EBay, so taking serious your advise.
Growing up, my sister had knotty pine in her bedroom w/a cedar closet!💜
Yes, the road to destruction is paved with pink depression glass! I remember my mom's infamous words as she "invested" in the pink Cabbage Rose "Sharon" depression glass piece by piece until we had a completed set for 6 (which was showcased proudly in my china cabinet for too many years)! This investment is for your old age she said! Don't sell it until you need money for your golden years she said! LOL I ended up giving the whole dang set away as a little inheritance to my daughter-in-law who just loves dishes and doesn't care! I kept the covered and footed candy dish because it belonged to my grandmother....such is the sad story of the bottom dropping out with a sickening "thud". I am afraid the same thing is happening with my antique *real photo* postcards too! I hope your wax teeth for Halloween aren't melting in this awful heat ...haha Waving and melting from Michigan
I feel your pain Michigan. I'm in the kitchen now scraping melted waxed paper off of my Linoleum draw liners.
I think like everything it will come back around so for now I will scoop it up for !cheap . I'm so glad to see you again .
The market is doing much better now the bowl in the video is now 25 to 30 dollars as now its over 100 years old causing the price to skyrocket at first thought ebay was off on price a bit but then i relized this video was 4 years old before alot of the major improvements in the market as theres alot more people talking about it and theres alot more clubs dedicated exclusively to it now. Btw pink is the most sought after color but its also the most produced color aswell. Depending on the set some of them are kinda expensive just it really depends as some sets they made for 2 3 years then theres some they made for decades but also some peices are just super expensive alone and others are 10 to 15 a peice. glad to hear you gave it to someone who likes it. as glass collecting isint for everyone. Btw as of now just the dish you kept is worth around $75 dollars with chips!!!! Was doing some digging the whole set is worth around $700 dollars
Glad to see you Scott! I always enjoy your videos, especially when you sound like a smurf ;)
Kathy Lynch Thank you!
Hi Scott, Yes,I have fond memories of "Knotty Pine", Our kitchen was all Knotty Pine when I was a little girl in the 50's,also, there was a much visited Diner in N.J. called "The Knotty Pine Diner" (Great food too). Curious....Are you a teacher ? You have an engaging way of speaking,I really enjoy your voice. Have a great weekend ! Cindy
Thank you Cindy. Like most people, I don't like listening to my own voice on recordings! I appreciate your compliment.
You paid so little for it. I would just keep it. I think they are beautiful ! I'd rather have that, than spent it on a pop! Jadite ! In anything is my favorite ! You, don't see the antiques in Oregon. Like you do there!
I love Jadeite too!
Hello Scott!!! Well, the pink depression glass is very pretty to look at anyway ☺️. I still have the knotty pine in my house, and I love it. It lines the stairway going upstairs. Also have the banister too, that I carved my initials in when I was a kid 😂. #knottypine
Thank is fantastic!
My handle is a word my daughter used at age 2 to describe anything pink, fancy, fluffy and/or sparkly. Since I love all of those things, I adopted it. So I think you know wich big cookie jar I would pick.
Thanks for the info. Cute ending 🤗
Omg thank you for keeping it real. I love your videos.
When we sold our parents home, new owners primed and painted the knotty pine 😢
It’s really funny, last night I was filming a video called “I didn’t buy the charity shop decanters”, I haven’t even edited it yet, but I came on to check my channel this morning this 4 year old video was the first video shown to me. Do you think TH-cam is tracking the creators?
I wonder if Bar Keeper's Friend will restore my Philadelphia Starbuck's mug from 1999 that was put in the dishwasher one too many times? My grandparents' whole basement was knotty pine... the lower half of the walls anyway, very understated.
Ha ha ha! Please give it a try and let me know the results!
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Will do, Scott. 😂😂😎
Was just introduced to you by Nifty Vintage video. Looking forward to your channel.
Welcome and thank you!!
Glad to see you !
OliviaDaughter Thank you!
My grandparents house had knotty pine.
And I wonder who bought them, Replacements I bet BC their buying it all up and someday all this beautiful glassware will go back up in price. Yeah, 40 years ago we couldn't afford it back then.
I love anything pink and anything with roses on it. I would of purchased that pink depression glass candy dish for myself. But I do understand what your saying its not worth your while to purchase it to resell it. I
Salem would love a pink footed bowl to eat his dinner from!
