Love your old commercials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Airhugs of positive energy to you and yours

Great information. On a wide variety of objects
I’m a professional tailor. I’m your customer. My favorite thimble is gold and has been worn for so many years it is molded exactly to my finger.
I bought a sewing box for 3.99 at a Goodwill a few years ago. I searched through it once a week for months. Didn't notice anything special. I put it away for over a year. I looked through it again and found an original LiveAid Lapel Pin. I sold it for $95.00 I have the rest of the box of items still in the corner.
Maybe it's time to take another look in that box, lol.
You really are the Ebay encyclopedia. Everything I learned with you. Thanks
Well, I definitely feel smarter now. I can’t tell you how many sewing kits and boxes I have passed up on at estate sales and garage sales even thrift stores. Not anymore! Thank you so much, you just gained another subscriber.
I just bought an auction lot, included in was a bundle of vintage sewing items, not my reason for buying. However having researched after watching this, it will pay for the whole lot at least twice over. Thank You Don, you are a legend.
Needle point thread sells great on ebay, if you have any of that
Another thing to look for is advertising items in the sewing box. Mirrors, tape measures, and needle packets that are promotional items, World's Fair memorabilia, and jewelry such as hair barrettes and sometimes little toys are all items I have found in sewing boxes.
I can just imagine. $400 thimble in the Goodwill bins for 10 cents and nobody has a clue.
Until they watch this video. 😱
I was at bins 2 days ago and touched a large sewing box that was FULL. I wish I had come across this video 3 days ago!!
You reminded me to go get my grandmas sewing kit she made 20 quilts a year with help of family and friends. Her mom made them too .
Iam a hand sewing quilter i collect old sewing items i was glad 2 come across yr video great info GOD bless 💋☮
Love, love, LOVE your videos! As a former museum curator and life-long collector (probably hoarder at this point!) who's had booths in antique malls since 1989 and now a small shop, I believe we never stop learning. You've opened the door to so much more as I rekindle my eBay seller life, and can't thank you enough! How do you fit so much info into your head??? You, sir, are definitely the bee's knees!
Thank You
In a world of stupid 😖 You did a great job of enlightening and getting to the point
GOD BLESS
Ive never seen such amazing scissors or thimbles in the wild :/ lol i need to find better sourcing spots .
Fascinating video Don! Do you look for or find many old patterns, especially haute couture pattens?
Great pieces! I will definitely be keeping eyes open for thimbles, scissors and sewing boxes
I have been buying sewing boxes ect for years. Not only do I love to go through theem and get a glimpse of someone's life. Sewing boxes often serve as storage for little items that hold memories...your grandmother's scissors ect. I usually repack the boxes including all kinds of goodies for people who love to sew and resell for 30 or so depending on the type and amount of goodies. Sadly I don't find them as often as you indicate. The best place I have found the boxes WITH items in them is auctions.
Dude. The “junk” sales I don’t buy anything at you’d make thousands 😂.
Thanks Don I can't say it enough I'm always learning from you , hope all is well with you , your family and business . Ready for a new productive year . Let's go !!
Awesome info, I am enjoying your wisdom very much, so how do you tell if something is gold? Like a thimble, or scissors? Where can I find information about old thimbles and scissors.
Thanks for your time. ❤
My mom always picked up textiles and sewing supplies for resale.
You've just blown my mind!!
I found a sewing box filled with bakelite buttons and carved bangle bracelets I did very well with these items so I always keep my eyes open for these types of items. Anyways super Awesome video as always Don and I wish you a very prosperous wealthy healthy New Year brother and happy selling!!✌❤😎🛸💰💵💱🎉🙏✌💚📰⚃💲
How would you test an item like this to make sure its gold silver etc if there are no markings? How would you know if its plated or solid?
Worcestershire is pronounced Wustershur, shur pronounced as Cher.
Aside from the fabulous and informative content, I really enjoy the format you use. Having the full screen ads behind you makes for an easy and extremely helpful visual aid, and you get to the point with descriptive information on each ad. Thank you!
Knew about sewing, barber and kitchen scissors. One of my grandmothers loved thimbles and had a small collection. Think I have a sterling one from her somewhere. Thx for education!
Thank You! I have only been at this seriously about 3 months and you've already helped me out inmmensley.
Thanks for sharing. I recently picked an old barber box with some valuable scissors. I love these items nobody looks at, and you can get them for next to nothing. Even nothing at times! :) Try that "My grandma collects these stupid things..."
I found one and it was full of thimbles, buttons, needles, pins and more. I priced it at $25 and someone snatched it up quickly. I had no idea..🙄
Love tuning into this channel everyday ! Awesome job !
Why did you say not to sell ivory or tortoise? Is it illegal? If found what should we do wit it?
I love the vintage ads at the end of your videos! Thank you!
I got an engraved gold thimble and a sterling one this weekend. The gold one was a buck and the sterling one was in the estate sale "junk lot" box that cost $20. As a quilter I make a beeline for sewing boxes when accessible (i.e. not up or down a flight of stairs.) BTW - Worcester is pronounced Wooster.
Don't forget Advertising Needle Threaders !!! and Needle Books, Pin Cushions.
HOW IN THE SAM HELL WLD U FIND ALL THAT INFO ON SCISSORS ...LOL ? I LIKE THEM KINDA NUMBERS !!!
I've also found other neat things in sewing boxes. Found a vintage zippo lighter in one.
So the cheap aluminium ones don't sell
But i never would have thought thimbles 😃
What do I do with ivory knitting needles or something with tortoiseshell if I find it?
I really like your videos and was wondering if you ever do one on one Q&A with people? I would love to learn more from you. I’ve been buying and selling since I was a kid and would be so grateful to learn from someone with the wealth of knowledge that you have.
I always learn so much from you, Thanks for sharing!
Excellent class today Professor! I also viewed your lesson on spoons this morning. Thank you for sharing this content.
Wow! Your knowledge is fantastic! Thank you. I found your video by chance, but immediately subscribed!!
Just found your channel professor, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Much appreciated!
I also have a jar of buttons from the early 1900’s. Where do I find out was these are worth?
Unfortunately my gram just used the danish cookie tins
Have you ever seen thimbles that were porcelain,
Yes in an arcade shop in centre of melbourne au, thats all they sell. From antique onwards.
Very informative, never realized thimbles had so much value. Thanks for the lesson.
Those mother of pearl shears represent dolphins
Learning so much from your channel. Thimbles and scissors never would have thought of that thank you so much !
Some if these scissors and thimbles are very beautiful...😍 I would've never in a million years thought to be looking for such items...💯✔
Wow - wonderful video - I never, ever would of guessed that kind of value was in sowing kits
Thank you Don for another great video you have helped me to sell a few unique items flashlights pens and scissors 😊
Good stuff. I would've never thought! I'll bet there's lots of categories where we can find items that most people would never think are of any valuable, right? And I'll bet you know what some of those categories are, don't you? Please share more like this. Thanks.
OMG, those chrome sewing scissors are worth lots of money. Wow.
You always have the most interesting BOLOs
Thank you Mr Don; I love your Videos thanks for all your hard work that goes into them. You helped me immensely Thank You! Sending Thoughts and Prayers to you and your Entire Family Please Stay Safe and Be Careful.💜❤️🤗🙏
I temember going through .y grandmothers button box. It had buttons her mom and grandmother had collected back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. There were some gorgeous buttons in it. When she died someone stole them. Shame.
I have a huge thimble collection, some gold, silver, china & advertising. May start to think about selling. $$$$$
One of my most surprising finds was from an estate sale. I went back later in the day to see what was left. I saw a clear plastic sewing box, clearly others had removed things so I bought remainder for $2 including the box. In the bottom I found a beautiful card of porcelain hand painted buttons. I don’t recall exactly what they sold for but it was over $100 😀.
Never heard of your channel before, but I'll be looking for it now. This was fascinating! Thank you!!
Thank you for your video. I come from a family of tailors and sewers. I have always loved sewing items. Now, with this knowledge, I love them even more. I was reading Vogue when I was in high school and figuring out how to make the designs at home. I am going to check out the arts and crafts channel. Thank you so much for being my teacher today.
Thank you for pointing out risk of listing scissors tortoiseshell, made me think about an antique ivory fan and I think it's either the same one or a second one that has peacock feathers. So where would you recommend looking to sell those? Heritage auctions perhaps? Appreciate your taking the time to post these because there's nothing worse than learning the hard way and eBay's real good at helping you do that
I've bought beacoup sewing kits over the years and found baseline buttons!
Just came across this video, I Love it, I'm a collector of thimbles, anytime I know of someone going on vacation in or out of the country, I will have them pick me up a thimble. Thanks for the good work!! Looking forward to more of your videos 👍
outstanding as always. I actually purchased an estate sale everything in the home because I loved the glass collection that she had but she had quite a bit of sewing equipment including a freestanding sewing machine the bench has a lid and keep supplies in it now I'm going to go in there and go through it all cuz there was a lot of little boxes of stuff in there I just assumed it was kind of junk. who knows what kind of money he's been sitting in the other room just being ignored. I'm becoming addicted to your show here. keep up the good work thank you so much for the information
Hi I have this concern about the insertion fee, do ebay charge insertion fee every month for all programs? How that works ?❤
Interesting video. Learned many new things from you. Am now a subscriber
Thanks for the info! Will definitely add these to my BOLO list! (P.S. How do you do your background scenes on your videos? I love them!)
Do you like to hear about synchronicities? I'm in Florida. Close to the gulf coast for two years and haven't been to the beach yet. I'm sitting outside and its super hot today. I just got done asking myself, why don't you get yourself to the beach? I wonder if its crowded this time of year? yadda yadda. Two seconds later I landed on your comment. And I am taking your screen name as my sign!! And now that I have read your whole comment...I too was wondering about his cool intro graphic haha
just an FYI - Worcester is pronounced Wooster (rhymes with rooster) or Wister (rhymes with sister) depending on the area you're from. Both are correct.
You are always so informative. Thank you and keep it coming!
Very useful channel - I have a variety of vintage items and now I have TH-cam resource that I can refer to. Thank you!
Wow! That was super informative. Thank you !
Walked past two of these at a recent estate sale, was curious about them but also overwhelmed and wanted to stick to what I knew at the time. Now I know, thank you!
Thank you sir. All your advice and tips have made me a good bit of dollars. Cheers.
Love this video. Very educational. Thanks so much.
Sometimes cash too. I found $250 in an old sewing kit.
I have had very good luck with selling sewing boxes.
Nooooo!!! This is what I zoom in on when I’m out at estate sales and thrift stores. They are an overlooked treasure. 🤫
Thank you for the greet information
I have 3 Abandoned houses that I'm treasure hunting in
I love sewing stuff. I Collett sewing machines not the best sellers way too heavy
I subscribed. The content you show is right up my alley 😉
I have an old pair of pinking shears too. They are large and chunky. Dull too. Not sure what year they are from.
Knowledge is power !!! Thanks for the info 🌞
Thank you for your knowledge 👏♥️🙏🏼
Great topic. These are hard to sell for me. Loooove granny items.
Thanks professor , I will keep an eye out for the sewing kit’s , seems like it can possibly be a little treasure chest , thanks
Great video. Thank you. Never tought of this.
I collected thimbles i was very upset wen my princess diana n it was her thimble was stolen
I'm so happy to have discovered you, my thanks
man your channel is so informative subscribed added bell
My mind is blown!
I should look into that sewing box my wife got in goodwill. It was old! wow!! I did not know.
Love this THANK YOU!
I have that exact same sewing box that I got from my mom
It's pronounced 'Royal Wooster".
Thank you for interesting information.
Would you call the French sets Etuis?
Sowing pattern which ones are people looking for?
Okay sewing patterns
You mentioned tortois shell "two things you don't ever want to sell regardless of the case" Could you please expound on that comment. Is it because of being more valuable? Fragile? Not sure what you meant by that.
Selling Ivory or Tortoise Shell of any kind is a Federal Crime so you would NEVER want to sell them. This is something everyone should already know.
I actually have been searching through the comments hoping someone had asked this question and it was answered, so thank you both! Don, I love your videos, they are so informative. I think most people think of ivory and tortoise shell in their original form. Prior to watching this video I wouldn’t have thought twice about selling knitting needles or crochet hooks made of those things! I would have just thought they were pretty! So glad you covered this in your video and in the comments!
Elephant Ivory and tortoiseshell are items from protected species and therefore unlawful to sell.
Thank you for this info. I had no idea!!
