I, along with many other commentators love your backdrop! I just want to mention how much I enjoy listening to all the history and information about the items you show us on all of your videos. I admit learning about some of these items have caused me to make bids on different ones. That said, unlike many sellers, you aren't trying to gouge us by asking ridiculous amounts or tricking people into spending more than something should be. In some cases you let the market decide and in others, you offer the item at a very fair price. Thank you for being an honest man and for sharing all your knowledge with us😊
Thank you for that! I want people to get to have and enjoy these things, and there are pretty established markets for a lot of them where it's not really in question the approximate retail value, so to me if I can't sell it at those prices I shouldn't buy in the first place!
Hi George. I never tire of listening to you. My mind is a sponge when it comes to learning about things from our past years. Although some modern decor is nice. They made things to last. Very pleasing color for your background. It's complimentary to you too. You look tan and rested ❤ I have been watching some of your past videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Heart melting hand made wood circus wagon, what a sweet one of a kind piece! My father embroidered the Little Boy Blue and Pink Lady about 1960 when he had some 'time' on his hands and they hang on my living room wall as my most cherished possessions. The memories of my Dad attached to them are priceless ❤️
The lion bookends' imagery is inspired by a memorial sculpted in the early 1820s by Bertel Thorvaldsen to commorate the Swiss Guards who were killed defending the French Royal Family during the French Revolution. Located in Switzerland, the memorial is carved into a rocky outcrop overlooking a small lake.
That mini camera with the leather case is fabulous. My grandpa gave me a spy camera 📷 in the 80's, all my friends were amazed it really worked. The film canister was bigger than the camera 🤯💚💚💚
We had a Brown Derby in n my small home town. Every weekend, there would be a line around the building waiting for seating. I think it closed down around 20 yrs ago. It was a sad time.
I look at those crickets and think - Man how little it took to amuse us back in the 50s! Els-ton Howard - with an S in the middle - was a great guy. Known as a gentleman player. Very loved in NY. His wife Arlene comes back to Yankee Old Timer's Day games every year. I have had the pleasure of meeting her several times. She is very much a part of the Yankee family. Elston is not a Hall of Famer but he should be. The Minox camera - pronounced "min" as in "miniature" - short i. I am very familiar with the company. My husband worked for them in the late 80s as a repairman. Worked on a ton of those cameras and also their 35mm cameras - which were also very small. His markings might be inside. The chain is to measure the distance from the camera to the document - it has little bumps on it so that you can measure just by feeling the chain and counting bumps. I am floored that it went for 50 dollars. When I went to college in the late 90s, one semester I sold all of the ones that he had in his collection to pay for blueprinting in architecture school. Got twice that at a camera store. Even sold them a baggie full of parts that probaby contained a whole camera in pieces. I figured they would have been worth much more than that in this era of secret documents! I have a coupld 35mm's and a flash or two but no more spy cams. Great collection this week!
I am so glad you are involved with my channel! You have such an interesting variety of life experiences (and experiences related to this crazy antique world). I figure clickers were the fidget spinners of yesteryear! As for Elston Howard, I understand he was a really good guy, as well as being a great player...it's cool you met his wife. He should be a HOF candidate. Your husband sure had a lot of skills, we sure could use people who can fix these things nowadays! The chain is a really interesting story I did not know but will share with viewers when I do the recap, thank you. I must say that cameras in general seem like they're undervalued at present, but digital has really changed the market.
The football is very interesting. Those are definitely Cleveland Browns colors - the orange helmet. Otto Graham wore #14 as the QB of the Browns from their AAFL days through 1955. Graham was extremely popular back then and I wonder if Rawlings used that image to capitalize on his popularity.
The Fenton piece. Hanging Hearts. I’m just wondering if that pattern was inspired by a living plant that hangs in very thin vines with sporadic heart shaped leaves growing from it ?! That piece is so tastefully designed. It’s beautiful 🙏🏻 I forgot to say the crickets made in Illinois were enjoyed by me when I was a child in Illinois 😇
www.masterclass.com/articles/string-of-hearts-plant-guide You are correct it's a vine! Those clickers are fun, they were the "fidget spinners" of their day but they made noise too, I'm sure our parents were thrilled
This is pretty exciting & I like the lit-up, glowing, blue background. I am a bit sad for the gentleman who will be parting with his handcrafted pull toy, which is beyond being just a toy now, but a cultural art piece. The St. Nicholas book & spy cam are my other favorites.
Please email me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com, I'm going to the storehouse today to see what might be left. I thought there were more in Washington but it seemed they had sold before I got back there
Always learn new thing from You. I especially like the historical information.
Interesting to see everything. Thank you, George
Ohhhhh I love the new backdrop. 💙🤗💙
I haven't had a "Tin Cricket" in my hand for over 50 years, but I know exactly what that feels like and sounds like!
Lol yes!
Yes!!

Oh wow! The camera is fabulous George! 👌🏽
Always a joy.

So much learning.
Nice back drop! 🦋

I really appreciate the history of items.
Thanks for your comment!
That's the story! I knew there was one but I didn't have time to research it. I think I'll pin this if I can so people know
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks!
In Lucerne

Yes! I don't know how they did that
What a great video George thank you 🤗
I have been told that trunk down elephants mean good health. Trunk up, good luck, trunk down good health.
That's interesting, I hadn't heard that before!

Love those lions!
Me too!
haaaaa 10:20 I HAVE THE DACHSHUNDS CHEWING THE BOOKS
Nice background!
Thanks! 😄
The t shirt is great. Thanks.
Lol it's a local firm that's putting in AC in the garage here
That grapefruit cake and cobb salad sold A LOT of cookbooks😃
Loved the Fenton hanging hearts !
It's cool!

Yes, I believe you have that right! The Browns and Otto Graham were pretty good back then
Is the single lion a copy of the sculpture in Lucerne Switzerland?
It is!
Is the the Brown Derby cookbook still available?
No it sold on eBay, I'm sorry you missed it
Actually I was watching one of your segments recently and you just happened to mention you had sold it for 100.00.

My mom and dad were born in 1911‼️
My grandparents were born in 1905

I do too! He was happy it was going to someone new to appreciate. I love the spy camera, always wanted one as a kid
Can you pls share the link to your ebay store. TY
There's a down v arrow to the right of the video title. If you click on it then scroll down it will show you the links. Hope this helps 🙂

Not everything is listed yet.
I ate at the brown derby at Disney World and was not impressed at all
The true Brown Derby restaurants are long gone. The name has been co-opted and it is in no way the same
My grandparents dined at the Brown Derby in Hollywood the late 30s. Wonderful stories of LA in one of it's golden ages.
