I'm 38 seconds into the video and I just want to say that hearing your "theme song" always puts me in a good mood. It's just so happy, and with the quality of content you put out I can always depend on your videos to brighten my day. So, thanks Alex!
The pin “2 + 2 = 5” may be referring to/associated with Orwell’s novel “1984” which was published in 1949. That seems to be the era most of these toys originated in. The logic was a control tactic by “the Party” in the book. Worth a read esp in todays crazy times! Maybe the pin was a giveaway with the book.
@@MKCarol-ms7lg You could find a button making machine and make one. It’s a simple mechanical gizmo. We had one where I worked and I made one with just the letter E on it in brown sharpie pen. Get it? Brown E button. 😜
The thrill of looking through bags and boxes for “stuff:” It never gets old and seems it’s an international obsession❤️…whether you’re the one doing it or just watching someone else do it. 👍
These unboxing videos are so exciting! It's like Christmas every time, it's fun seeing what you got even if it's not worth a lot. Then when you get to a great find, it's so exciting! 🥰😮😲❤
Graduated from high school 48 years ago and my friends and I saved Bazooka papers and mailed in for a silly ring we took turns wearing! So fun to see the paper!
I remember 77 Sunset Strip show! Yes I'm that old. We live in my late parent's home and it's hard for us to get up in the unfinished attic. The paper products are likely toast from mice, but there should be old toys and stuff. They were sentimental. I need to bribe some family to squeeze up there, my cap guns are up there!
@momkatmax Yeah I to remember watching 77 Sunset Strip with one of my aunts who had a crush on Kookie or Ed Byrnes. I wish I still had my cap guns and my Davey Crockett coon tail hat.
The random cut outs and "garbage" are dreams for those that do mixed media and junk journals! Put up an auction of misc scrap paper for crafting and you would be surprised at how happy you would make some folks! The same for all the little metal bits that aren't valuable on their own.
My Mom raised my sister and i without a father. She did the best she could but she could not afford to buy us those Fancy Name Brand Six Shooters. But I was quite happy with the plain cap guns she bought me. I took good care of mine and never broke them. My favorite was a Die Cast German Luger that took Big Bang Roll Caps. One day I took one entire roll of Big Bang Roll Caps and put it on the concrete and then I smashed down hard with a Hammer. Holy Cow!!!!! It made a HUGE BANG. My ears were ringing for a half hour, and i got yelled at, haha.
The funniest one I've heard was on Hee Haw. Archie was reading The Three Little Pigs, and said the wolf "huffed and puffed and hoed her blouse down". My nephew called the windshield wiper a window shiper.
I’m relatively new to curiosity inc but I am addicted. At first peek, I misjudged Alex as a “ Look at me Pretty boy “ I apologize. What a wonderful, talented & giving family man he is. One in a million!
Ah, the memories you stir in me, Alex. Edd Byrnes and Connie Stevens recorded "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb" - ranked number 4 on the pop charts in 1959. It was based on Byrnes character in 77 Sunset Strip.
It's so neat to go thru these unboxings to see what's inside. Even though some of the items were not in good shape, seeing them has got to bring back great memories for those of us that were children during those eras. It's a joy to recall and relive those times. Thanks Alexander.
Wow all my years of selling on ebay and hunting for treasure I never saw those in sealed package before. those GI Joe sealed are a rare rare find. Those got to be in on high hundreds each. Congrats!
That Don Post Darth Vader mask appears to be the original edition, based on the shape of the silver points on either side of the breathing hole! They were later remolded to be concave, supposedly for safety reasons(?) In 30 year of dealing Star Wars stuff, I have never found one in the box. Nice job!
I was going to say I wonder if that was one of the original molds that is so sought after. I learned about that when I started making my son a homemade Vader costume in the early 2000s from directions online. So cool! I saw that the top part was separate from the face part also.
What a score!!!!! The ephemera, even in rough shape is sellable to junk journal makers. I remember my brother playing with all the GI Joe stuff!!! He also had the vehicles . Brought back great memories!
I remember when I was little I had a "junk drawer" in my playroom dresser with shoeboxes lined up inside. I had my little loose stuff separated into categories so I could find it. This person's organization system must have been similar. LOL!
"Nobody ever went through the attic." What??? What kind of crazy people own a house, with a real attic mind you, and never look in it? That's just plain weird! Lol! P.S. What a great haul! SO interesting.
I had an Annie Oakley cap gun as a kid. Caps came on a long, red, coiled strip of paper with tiny dots of what I assume was real gunpowder. When the hammer struck the cap hard enough, there was a bang. Being curious, I wanted a close-up view of the process. I held the red paper tightly between my thumbnail and index finger, and repeatedly scraped the gunpowder dot with my other thumbnail. You guessed it ... after several attempts the charge went off. I am now 70 yo and still have a scar on my thumb. :)
I also had the Annie Oakley cap gun, and the cowgirl outfit. Somewhere there’s a picture of me all dressed up and looking very pleased with myself. Haven’t thought about that in years.
@15:10 a quinella is a horse racing term where you pich the 1st and 2nd place horse but dont have to specify whch is which. Your bet was for horses 4 and 5 to win or place.
Pedal pushers were a pair of slacks that went just below the knee. Made so your cuff would not get tangled in the chain of your bike. They were also called clam diggers. lol Bit of history.
As a young teen, I saved loads and loads of bottle caps. We would even go to the stations or stores and see if the owner would let us have them when they emptied from the soda machines. I see yours had a cork lining. Often times during a special promotion, you could pry up the cork and there would be something underneath indicating you had won a prize. 2+2=5 button made me do some googling. Interesting reference regarding Radiohead song and future Orwellian future (1984 for instance) suggesting that the powers that be can spoonfeed us false information under the guise of it being true so much and so earnestly, that everyone begins to believe it completely. This was my synthesis from my reading, check it out. I find it surprisingly relevant today!
As a child I would stare at those bubble lights on my great aunts silver Christmas tree! She also had the lighted color dial that projected onto the silver tree, so it changed colors on silver branches!
@@aquanettte132 Oh! I remember those silver trees. Lots of our friends had them, and some had a turntable in the base so as the colors changed, the tree revolved, too. We used the green artificial trees after my eleventh year. That year, my mother realized that all four of us boys began having respiratory problems from December till spring. She said that it was all the pine needles that fell of the tree. They would drift into the corners and under the furniture. It would take her months to get rid of them all.
My great aunt, born in 1921, cut out a lot of pictures and wrote her name on the backs. A lot of magazines even from before she was born were dismantled by her. I bundled up small ephemera items and sold at my garage sale that otherwise would have been thrown away.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had the bubble light on my Christmas tree. and the cuttings of food, did that in school. This put a smile on my face. Thanks.
What an awesome trip down memory lane! My husband used to have those Roy Rogers and Gene Autry gun sets. I think I even saw a little brooch that I cherished out of the Cracker Jack box of a little puppy but mine had a gem in his eye. So cool! Loved this unboxing! :)
Fun unboxing show! That tan coloured wagon is a 1946-48 Plymouth. Interesting Taylor Pearson & Carson price list, I worked in their Edmonton plant 1959-62 tearing down the old engines and assembling the new ones. Learned a lot there. Still have my shop coat (dark blue).
That's a first some toys before my time. LOL There were a few things when Mom cleaned out the attic I wish she would have kept. Like my Dad's toy car that when you looked inside it you could see it was made from an old tin can as the printing was still on it. Great finds . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
20:30 The Alberta Safety Council still exists. My husband works for them doing motorcycle training. When we were kids, the ASC would set up bicycle-training courses ("The Pedal Pushers") in local community spots. You would attend evening sessions (usually in school parking lots) and learn safety skills for bike riding. When you passed the course, you got that little license to hang on your bike seat. Good times! (This was in the 1970s.). I assume it was across Alberta.
I have a 1960's GI Joe for sale on eBay right now, I found it in my uncle's garage when he passed, and we cleaned it out to sell the house, too bad it didn't come with the extra accessories, great pick up
I have that beautiful tree topper angel. My mom used to put it on our Christmas tree growing up. It dates back to 50s - 60s. i have the topper now and every year it goes on my Christmas tree.
I'm a 61 year old man drooling over the Alberta Safety Council Junior Pedal Pusher Clubs "Skilled Rider" license plate. How does this happen? Please make a follow-up video of the unopened GI Joe gear. I would love to know what it fetches you. Cheers.
A Quinella is a horse racing bet. You pick the first & second in a race, but the order does not matter. An Exacta bet is you have to pick the right order of the first two horses. I used to spend a lot of time with my dad at Bay Meadows Race Course in San Mateo CA! EPHEMERA is my favorite thing!
The card of the 1907 Stanley Steamer reminded me of earlier this month there was one in the annual vintage car rally here in Dunedin NZ, was nearly as quiet as an EV car, great to see old cars.
Thank you so much Alex for sharing this video! You brought back so many wonderful memories from my past. My grandmother used to have bubble lights on her ALUMINUM Christmas tree back in the 1960s. And there would be a light behind the aluminum Christmas tree turning. And it had blue, yellow and red panels on it shining on the tree. You would have all the other lights turned off in the room and the aluminum tree would turn these three different colors and they would reflect off of the tiny fronds of the tree. And the bubble lights just made it look beautiful to a 5 year old girl. ( My grandmother born in 1915 had had this tree since my father was a little boy and he was born in 1945. My niece born in 1993 now has this tree and she has pictures of her daughter under this tree and she was born in 2020 her grandfather is my brother the one who had the GI Joe he was born in 1967 so now four generations have had this tree 🎄) My brother and I both had cap guns to play with whenever we were little kids. My brother got the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip back in 1971 for Christmas and I got the Barbie doll when I was six. We both liked comic books whenever we were kids I liked the Archie books and he liked Spider-Man. We had tinker Toys cars and trucks to play with as brother and sister on our country farm. I just wanted to say thank you that you opened up a box of nostalgia for me and possibly a lot of other people, too. God bless you, Alex 😇. I cannot wait to see what the next video adventure brings! 😄
That was an awesome lot. I love seeing old toys like that. They were a little before my time but they were fun to look at. I'm new to your channel but I'm really loving it.❤️🙏
Oh my goodness 77 Sunset Strip- I had a huge little girl “crush” on Kookie- I must’ve been 5 years old lol. Look up the song “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb”! What a treat to see the game. One never knows what you’re going to share with us. Love it.
Wow, brings back some memories, I had a G.I. Joe when I was a kid back in the 60's. Had a Tonka Toy U-Haul truck with the trailer. I remember Newberry's, Woolworth's use to go to Newberry's at the soda counter and get a pop or Root Beer Float when I lived in Spokane Washington growing up. Thanks Alexander for taking me on a nostalgic look back at my childhood. As always, "Enjoy The Adventure." 😃👍
You find the neatest things!! The GI Joe was amazing. This is going to make me sound old but to even be able to look at GI Joe and Barbie, we had to drive an hour to the mall. To have all the unopened packets of accessories would be so cool. Just being able to buy one packet on a shopping trip would be awesome. I love looking at the past. It’s calming to me. lol
Very cool Alex!! Loved the GI-JOE stuff!! Really neat!! Hope your week was good and you guys all have a great weekend!🌻🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️ P.S, I talked to my brother a couple days ago and he said it almost feels like spring there atm!!! But as much as we would LOVE it; We definitely need more snow for the droughts, here in sask we’ve had more snow this winter than in the past three years and then a few before but we really need the run off badly this year. So even though I’d like to get out of the house on my own, I think it’s still a ways away. Not as long as when I thought about spring every day of nov&dec&most of January though LOL.
Really cool bunch of stuff. Glad it didn’t get hauled off when they were tearing down the house. Quite a bit of it is better than gold and what memories they bring.
Alex, you hit the jackpot with the GI Joe equipment. The Green Beret accessories , Combat Engineer and Heavy Weapons set on their cards are the highlights.
Love that 77 sunset strip game. I have a parker brothers game called "park and shop" from back in the 50's love playing it too. That was some real cool stuff. Have a wonderful day
I have the Nancy Drew Mystery Game. Actually played a round before Christmas with a friend because she had never heard of it, just the books. It was pretty fun. 😁
Howdy Doody time with Buffalo Bob and Claribell the clown. Sitting in the peanut gallery! I can still sing that introduction to the show's song. I was born in 1941 and can sing most of the commercials, 77 Sunset Strip and Cookie, Cookie lend me your comb. He was always combing his hair and the girls would sing that song and go wild. My dad used to say if they could put math to a song I would be a wiz at it. So many fun memories when you take me back with all of your antiques. I am an antique! lol Thanks for the fun video!
I loved all of this! I remember the little metal clickers. We always had those when we were kids. And I think about them all the time. I bet they had to discontinue them because they were dangerous. I would love to have that alligator one. I remember Avery long long long time ago my favorite one ever was a frog. And those cap guns. Loved them. Love the smell of them. What memories you gave me today. Thank you so very very much. Just awesome. Thanks for sharing it with me. It was great. ❤️😘💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞🌞✌️👶
My Mom used to watch 77 Sunset Strip. It came on after my bedtime but I can still hear the theme song. That ticket with "quinella" written on it is a betting slip from the track - pick the first and second place horses in the race. And yes, I'm old enough that I watched Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob on the black & white Dumont TV.
I'll never get, how people can be so 'uncurious', that they wouldn't inspect the attic and go through stuff, after buying an old house. Even if I didn't expect to find something valuable...I could never resist the temptation!
I'm 38 seconds into the video and I just want to say that hearing your "theme song" always puts me in a good mood. It's just so happy, and with the quality of content you put out I can always depend on your videos to brighten my day. So, thanks Alex!

The GI Joe stuff!!!! It's killing me!!! I had so much fun playing with my brother's GI Joes!!! We had most of those sets! 🥰❤️🥰❤️
Hello, how are you??
My Mom raised my sister and i without a father. She did the best she could but she could not afford
to buy us those Fancy Name Brand Six Shooters. But I was quite happy with the plain cap guns she bought me.
I took good care of mine and never broke them. My favorite was a Die Cast German Luger that took
Big Bang Roll Caps.
One day I took one entire roll of Big Bang Roll Caps and put it on the concrete and then I smashed down hard
with a Hammer. Holy Cow!!!!! It made a HUGE BANG. My ears were ringing for a half hour, and i got yelled at, haha.
"Jacker-Crack prizes" ... that's what we call a spoonerism, LOL. Judging by the battle scars, these toys were thoroughly enjoyed by some former kids.
Yep, that brought to mind my brother always saying "mowlawner" when he was young.
@@anetzband1383 That's a good one, lol. My adult BIL always said cob on the corn.
Check up instead of ketchup!
I had to go back a couple times to hear if he actually said Jacker Crack! lol
The funniest one I've heard was on Hee Haw. Archie was reading The Three Little Pigs, and said the wolf "huffed and puffed and hoed her blouse down". My nephew called the windshield wiper a window shiper.
Awesome to unbox something that has been sitting that long.. They have been lonely for years, thanks for sharing with us..
All fun stuff, but I liked the stuff you and Melissa unboxed at your house better. But going through a box of old things is always fun.
Hello, how are you??
Jacker Cracks Alex you sound like my three daughters when they were young and talking fast and excited - love it brings back Lott’s a laughs
Kookie! Kookie! Lend me your comb! OH, my gosh! We had those same Noma bubble lights in that box Many years ago. Keys for Josh.
You got about 5000-6000 dollars worth of GI Joe stuff there. Maybe more. The survey set and the M60 set are the best ones. Very, very rare.
😯!

That G.I. Joe find was amazing. When you opened that box … I got excited just to see such rare toys in such incredible condition
Wow all my years of selling on ebay and hunting for treasure I never saw those in sealed package before. those GI Joe sealed are a rare rare find. Those got to be in on high hundreds each. Congrats!

My great aunt, born in 1921, cut out a lot of pictures and wrote her name on the backs. A lot of magazines even from before she was born were dismantled by her. I bundled up small ephemera items and sold at my garage sale that otherwise would have been thrown away.
I am a crafter, some of those papers Alex pulled out (and can not be sold because of condition) made me drool, haha.
What fun to have a box like that dropped off.
I absolutely loved that shoe, had such a crush on Ed Bynes.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had the bubble light on my Christmas tree. and the cuttings of food, did that in school. This put a smile on my face. Thanks.

My grandmother used to have bubble lights on her ALUMINUM Christmas tree back in the 1960s. And there would be a light behind the aluminum Christmas tree turning. And it had blue, yellow and red panels on it shining on the tree. You would have all the other lights turned off in the room and the aluminum tree would turn these three different colors and they would reflect off of the tiny fronds of the tree. And the bubble lights just made it look beautiful to a 5 year old girl. ( My grandmother born in 1915 had had this tree since my father was a little boy and he was born in 1945. My niece born in 1993 now has this tree and she has pictures of her daughter under this tree and she was born in 2020 her grandfather is my brother the one who had the GI Joe he was born in 1967 so now four generations have had this tree 🎄)
My brother and I both had cap guns to play with whenever we were little kids. My brother got the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip back in 1971 for Christmas and I got the Barbie doll when I was six. We both liked comic books whenever we were kids I liked the Archie books and he liked Spider-Man. We had tinker Toys cars and trucks to play with as brother and sister on our country farm. I just wanted to say thank you that you opened up a box of nostalgia for me and possibly a lot of other people, too.
God bless you, Alex 😇. I cannot wait to see what the next video adventure brings! 😄
Great memories to cherish!
That was an awesome lot. I love seeing old toys like that. They were a little before my time but they were fun to look at. I'm new to your channel but I'm really loving it.❤️🙏
Oh my goodness 77 Sunset Strip- I had a huge little girl “crush” on Kookie- I must’ve been 5 years old lol. Look up the song “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb”! What a treat to see the game. One never knows what you’re going to share with us. Love it.
I had a crush too...
Enjoyed. Fun boxes of very old toys. Lots of memories.
The reason for the condition is because kids “actually” played with them. They were very loved. ❤️
That little dog was loved sooooo very much!
Wow, brings back some memories, I had a G.I. Joe when I was a kid back in the 60's. Had a Tonka Toy U-Haul truck with the trailer. I remember Newberry's, Woolworth's use to go to Newberry's at the soda counter and get a pop or Root Beer Float when I lived in Spokane Washington growing up. Thanks Alexander for taking me on a nostalgic look back at my childhood. As always, "Enjoy The Adventure." 😃👍
AWESOME!
Wow, I was 7 in 1964 and and got my 1st GI Joe then for Christmas. Brought back memories to see all the stuff still in the packaging.
I love the plastic bag of "possibles". That's my favorite.
I have one of the alligator "clickers".
My husband and I had the Flintstones sticker book when we were kids. Cool to see it again.
What a cool haul! The GI Joe stuff was a great find.
Hello
You find the neatest things!! The GI Joe was amazing. This is going to make me sound old but to even be able to look at GI Joe and Barbie, we had to drive an hour to the mall. To have all the unopened packets of accessories would be so cool. Just being able to buy one packet on a shopping trip would be awesome. I love looking at the past. It’s calming to me. lol
I think the cool things find him.
@@WellISaidIt I agree. They are even brought to him. No travel.
Very cool Alex!! Loved the GI-JOE stuff!! Really neat!! Hope your week was good and you guys all have a great weekend!🌻🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️
P.S, I talked to my brother a couple days ago and he said it almost feels like spring there atm!!! But as much as we would LOVE it; We definitely need more snow for the droughts, here in sask we’ve had more snow this winter than in the past three years and then a few before but we really need the run off badly this year. So even though I’d like to get out of the house on my own, I think it’s still a ways away. Not as long as when I thought about spring every day of nov&dec&most of January though LOL.
Loved Millie the Model comic book when I was a kid.
Really cool bunch of stuff. Glad it didn’t get hauled off when they were tearing down the house. Quite a bit of it is better than gold and what memories they bring.
Excuuuuse me! That’s Ed “Kooky” Byrnes!!!
Wasn’t he in Grease?
@@cherylschantz9893 yes he was! Oh, and for some reason it’s Edd “Kookie” Byrnes! I’ve never seen Edd spelled with 2 “d”s before!
Alex, you hit the jackpot with the GI Joe equipment. The Green Beret accessories , Combat Engineer and Heavy Weapons set on their cards are the highlights.
Love that 77 sunset strip game. I have a parker brothers game called "park and shop" from back in the 50's love playing it too. That was some real cool stuff. Have a wonderful day
I have the Nancy Drew Mystery Game. Actually played a round before Christmas with a friend because she had never heard of it, just the books. It was pretty fun. 😁
Howdy Doody time with Buffalo Bob and Claribell the clown. Sitting in the peanut gallery! I can still sing that introduction to the show's song. I was born in 1941 and can sing most of the commercials, 77 Sunset Strip and Cookie, Cookie lend me your comb. He was always combing his hair and the girls would sing that song and go wild. My dad used to say if they could put math to a song I would be a wiz at it. So many fun memories when you take me back with all of your antiques. I am an antique! lol Thanks for the fun video!
Hello, how are you??
That was definitely a box of treasures...
Maybe your new friend Benny would like that GI Joe stuff to add to his collections? Josh collects keys, he would take those from you in a heartbeat...
I loved all of this! I remember the little metal clickers. We always had those when we were kids. And I think about them all the time. I bet they had to discontinue them because they were dangerous. I would love to have that alligator one. I remember Avery long long long time ago my favorite one ever was a frog. And those cap guns. Loved them. Love the smell of them. What memories you gave me today. Thank you so very very much. Just awesome. Thanks for sharing it with me. It was great. ❤️😘💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞🌞✌️👶
Just Googled the Howdy Doody moving jaw toy, it was priced at $100 USD. 😳
You were having too much fun with Howdy! Great surprise bags of treasure. Loved it
Hello Linda, how are you??
Love your videos.
This was so much fun to watch! So much cool stuff..
I bet some children would love those toys. They would be great for homeless shelters and such.
My Mom used to watch 77 Sunset Strip. It came on after my bedtime but I can still hear the theme song. That ticket with "quinella" written on it is a betting slip from the track - pick the first and second place horses in the race. And yes, I'm old enough that I watched Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob on the black & white Dumont TV.
Hello
I'll never get, how people can be so 'uncurious', that they wouldn't inspect the attic and go through stuff, after buying an old house.
Even if I didn't expect to find something valuable...I could never resist the temptation!
Hello, how are you??
Thank you for very interesting half an hour, always enjoy your videos ❤
Nice haul.
The old papers and broken toys that seem like garbage would be great for collage artists!
