You are the ultimate professional in how you conduct yourself with your clients, and I genuinely appreciate that. Everyone deserves to be treated with with respect and dignity and thank you for reminding us all. Safe travels, George!
I thought it was pretty cool too! I planned to take it west but it sold this weekend at the Burlington show just outside Cincinnati to someone else who saw this video and wanted it
My pleasure! I figure it's important that people consider that what we see as merchandise is someone else's memories that we're taking away, so best to be measured about it
Love that you have respect for others and their property, these qualities are hard to find in people nowadays. Great field trip. Wouldn’t want to be the one packing up all the heavy furniture.
Hi, Lynne! I thought the doll box/bed was different, the cart as well. Dry sinks were a pioneer thing in America, I don't think it's a form seen elsewhere. Pewter is terribly underrated now, the lead content scared people away from it I think
I really enjoyed this video. A variety of antiquing in a store, showing the area and working with your client. It’s great you share your experience of how you interact with your client and the reasons for it. Thank you George. I always learn from you.
I've been there! When I was younger my aunt and uncle lived in Southern Illinois and I would spend the summer with them. I remember riding that ferry and going cave exploring with them.
We have just emptied my mother in laws house and your walk through was very very familiar to what we had to deal with. But beginning of covid, thrift stores weren’t taking donations, garage sales were banned. It cost us a lot of money for storage fees until we could make room for all of it to be stored in our home. Sadly, a lot went to the landfill. I needed you up here in Vancouver BC, George!!
Hi, Patti! I'm sorry about the bad timing, we got caught right at the beginning with a friend and client of ours' house full of things and were only able to sell about 1/3, he really deserved much better but that was the situation we all faced. I hope you were able to keep your favorites and that things are going better there. I miss going to Vancouver!
Me too, I had help editing that one and wasn't expecting it, I laughed out loud too. I do believe good manners count when you're working in someone else's house!
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you for highlighting my humble comment. The summer is coming, your busy season. I hope you do well. Even up here we are having spring, my daffodils are up.
Well, now you've come across a relative of mine.One of those Cave-in-Rock river pirates was a rogue named James Ford, leader of Ford's Ferry Gang, aka "Satan's Ferryman". He was particularly unsavory and did a lot of pretty terrible things all while maintaining a clean public persona. He was a civic leader and a business owner (1790-1830). He would hijack his own ferry and steal the goods he was carrying. Which I think shows a spark of genius.Think if he had used his powers for good! Anyway, I guess every family has a black sheep or two. I enjoy your videos and information. I look forward to see what you'll find next.
That's so interesting! I was on Ford's Ferry Road at one point. My helper with all this also has been told he has a relative who was a gangster of some sort there. It sounds like James was smart and resourceful, it does make you wonder what he could've done legit
Hello from the U.K.! Loving your channel, totally different items than here, ‘Kichen Queen’ ‘pie safe’ ‘dry sink’ ‘oilers’ and all your knowledge on twentieth century vintage, Hollywood chic, and retro! subscribed!
Hi, Milly! That's so terrific, thanks for subscribing and please tell your friends. I'm hopeful to get to Canada and show more English items as well at some point.
This was very good information once again. I like how considerate and respectful you are to the families. After all those items hold memories for them too.
Great! Yes, I feel it's important to remember that when you're taking their life's possessions away, even if they're wanting that it's a sense of separation in the moment
If you ever get to Cincinnati check out St. Rose church built in 1867 in the East End - they have a giant flood gauge painted on the building with marks for all the times the Ohio river flooded and 1937 is the highest!
Hey George, I'm in West Kentucky too. Come see me sometime at the Drive Inn flea Market in Kuttawa Ky. I have some sweet jewelry you'd like,cheap. Huge fan, you have so much knowledge. Thanks!
Hi George! Wow! Straight away, at 1:54, I saw something in the Brick House Antiques that I have - the oval print of Jenny Lind by Eduard Magnus. I have a 16 x 20 of it, in the original frame, with the label still on the back. I like that train rolling cart/tray. A bit out of my usual line of interest, but I really like that. The Rayo oil lamp caught my attention. I seem to have a thing for old oil/kerosene lamps, and that one was really nice. Love the bird-shaped wood plane! I've never seen one like that. Like that corner shelf, too. The Victorian bride's basket, with that figural stand is something I'd like to have! That is a beautiful piece! I didn't get to make the premier...worked outdoors all day, and completely wilted last night😩😅😅 I really enjoyed the tour, and hearing the history of the area!!! Thanks!!!
I haven't seen a bird shaped plane in ages! Not sure how to price it yet. The Victorian bride's basket was nice until I found that amazing base, then it elevated it to special! Jenny Lind was such a phenomenon in her day, funny how some people have heard the name but don't know the connection. I too have had my share of spring outdoor garden cleaning this week, take it easy! Best wishes, George
What a beautiful collection of vintage and antique pieces. Where will you sell all these items? There are some really fabulous items. Thank you for sharing.
It's Hall. The only reason I know is because I live very close to Hall and Homer Laughlin. George does know everything about everything! His memory is impeccable.
Hey George! Let me compliment you on the sharp, High Definition images you captured on your camera. The video is so sharp it exposes all your nose hairs in great detail (giggling out loud). Perhaps you should give them a trim. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I suspect the value of what I took might be in the $3000 range total. That and the rural location are why doing an onsite sale didn't make sense. Selling is definitely regional, but her stuff does sell in this region so I think it'll go okay...if this estate was in Florida, I'd have taken fewer items because they wouldn't sell there
You know George I have put those felt pads on things because I didn't want them to scrape anything or to be scraped or harmed by anything they can be bought and they can be used
What were the carving knives made of? We have a steak knife set, carving set and a set of looks like regular knives that were my mother-in-laws. We are breaking up her house and not sure what some things are. I wish you were closer to Pio
Well if you get really stuck, I do verbal value estimates remotely for a fee, but I'd say go through everything first to be sure where you need help. Those particular steak knives look like bone but they're actually bakelite too
I always appreciate that you respond to messages and you are so positive and uplifting 🙂. I seem to get stuck in situations where I'm not happy and then I stay stuck, fear of failure. And sometimes I just feel to old and not smart enough to start over and that's just silly I'm told.....
Thank you for having such decorum with your clients. The commentary about the town across the water is priceless! Thank you for a great tour.
I try hard, they deserve respect and they're letting me in their house to take things away to sell! The town across had an illustrious history
I am just so impressed at how respectful you are of your clients as well as everyone else.
You are the ultimate professional in how you conduct yourself with your clients, and I genuinely appreciate that. Everyone deserves to be treated with with respect and dignity and thank you for reminding us all. Safe travels, George!
Oh, thank you! I try to be right with people
George, you have a way of speaking that make people comfortable. Great ability in your line of work👏🏻
I appreciate that! I figure you have to remember that it's merchandise for us, but you're taking apart someone's home, so be gentle
George you are so considerate.
Oh, that's awfully nice of you to say! I try
Super Cool Handy Dandy Cart ...
Thank You For Sharing .
I thought it was pretty cool too! I planned to take it west but it sold this weekend at the Burlington show just outside Cincinnati to someone else who saw this video and wanted it
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I think she had some nice things. Thanks for taking us along.
I think so too! They've done pretty well so far. Thank you for watching
Love the train cart ⭐️⭐️
I do too, can't wait to take it to a show!
Wise counsel George. (Regarding controlled excitement). Thanks for the tour of this vintage/antique home.
My pleasure! I figure it's important that people consider that what we see as merchandise is someone else's memories that we're taking away, so best to be measured about it
Love that you have respect for others and their property, these qualities are hard to find in people nowadays. Great field trip. Wouldn’t want to be the one packing up all the heavy furniture.
Thanks, I think it's important that even though you're working that you be a good guest! The furniture was a little rough in a few instances lol
I love seeing the country roads of KY.
Me too, I plan to show more, it's a pretty place that's often overlooked
Loved this video. All the beautiful items, history, and especially your funny comments. "Better have a good time 'cause it'll be your last." 😆
I have a quirky sense of humor that way lol! Glad you had fun watching
Love the train cart and the way the dolls box opened to create a bed
Dry sink - never heard of those
I love pewter, so under rated
Hi, Lynne! I thought the doll box/bed was different, the cart as well. Dry sinks were a pioneer thing in America, I don't think it's a form seen elsewhere. Pewter is terribly underrated now, the lead content scared people away from it I think
@@TheAntiqueNomad never really thought of lead content - and it doesn’t bother me ! I have some nice 1930s deco style pieces
I guess we would call a dry sink a washstand in the U.K. they are generally much smaller to match the size of the houses here
I’ve been here, actually took 3 Amish couples to a retreat. It was fun seeing it.
I really enjoyed this video. A variety of antiquing in a store, showing the area and working with your client. It’s great you share your experience of how you interact with your client and the reasons for it. Thank you George. I always learn from you.
Thank you so much! I did have a varied day, that's how it often is and it's fun to get to show it
Thanks George.
Thank you so much for coming along!
Oh George, what a treasure trove.
I'm happy for you.
Thanks! It sure is fun to help people and also get to see the stuff first
Strawberry salad sounds so delicious 😋
Another great geo- antique trip - great ! Thanks
My pleasure!
WOW 😮 I have a lot but I think this lady I think has me beat.
I got that doll in the box for Christmas one year. It does bring back memories 😊
Barbara Stanwyck was bad ass! Had Big Valley flashbacks as soon as u mentioned her
I've been there! When I was younger my aunt and uncle lived in Southern Illinois and I would spend the summer with them. I remember riding that ferry and going cave exploring with them.
I bet that was fun! I really enjoy spelunking
You are so wonderful and fun! I look forward to your videos!
Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say! I look forward to making more videos for you
My grandmother had a bowl with the birds @12.19 . Don't know what ever happened to it. Thanks for the memory.

I love your videos George! You are so knowledgeable, interesting and have a soothing, calm voice . Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
In one of the jewelry boxes were bright yellow and orenge pinwheel earings or pins back in style again and sought after.
Yes that's right! She had a few cute pieces like that.
This house reminded me of my parent’s house with all the early American furniture, dishes etc.
That was wonderful. Lovely items! Thank you so much for taking us with you. All the best to you.
Thank you and all the best in return!
The dramatic music made me laugh out loud! Also I love the comment on good manners❣️
Me too, I had help editing that one and wasn't expecting it, I laughed out loud too. I do believe good manners count when you're working in someone else's house!
Hi George! Happy spring. Strawberry salads do sound good. Kentucky is an interesting state. Hope you find great things.
I hope so too! Thank you and happy spring. That was a great salad, I highly recommend adding strawberries

Your pin looked close to Longview, Wa. That’s where I live.
I spend a lot of time in Centralia, I started my antique career there

Yoders in our Amish Country in Missouri where I live.
Thank you for the lovely tour.
Another great video of my hometown!! Thanks for sharing!!
Did you get some great Amish food while in Marion? We make a trip there a couple of times a year. I absolutely love those 70s candle holders!
Yes I did! I like buying straight from the farms. The candle holders were a groovy surprise from a traditional house
What wonderful treasures!
Great video! So interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it! I thought it was a little different than the usual
Interesting time
I thought it was something different!
Wonderful vid George!! Love those Swanky Swigs!! Fiesta collectors are always looking for those to compliment their vintage Fiesta. :-)
That's right! I don't think they'll last long
If you ever get to Cincinnati check out St. Rose church built in 1867 in the East End - they have a giant flood gauge painted on the building with marks for all the times the Ohio river flooded and 1937 is the highest!
I will! I see these marks in various places along the river
Lmao! You said “nice kitchen queen there” & I thought you were talking about Homer. 😂 And then you said right next to Mr. Simpson. Lol
Hey George, I'm in West Kentucky too. Come see me sometime at the Drive Inn flea Market in Kuttawa Ky. I have some sweet jewelry you'd like,cheap. Huge fan, you have so much knowledge. Thanks!

Thank you! A lot went to my antique mall space at Twin Lakes in Gilbertsville, KY. Others went to shows with me
Every time George says he doesn’t know who made something i am shocked.
Lol! I love this line of work because there's always something new to discover
It's Hall. The only reason I know is because I live very close to Hall and Homer Laughlin. George does know everything about everything! His memory is impeccable.
Very informative vlog and i love your vlog so much keep it up!Hello from Philippines
Thank you! Will do! It's fun knowing someone's seeing this in the Philippines
Thank you George! Her husband was an amazing wood worker, cabinet maker. I'm probably not getting the right terminology. Anyway, he was good! Lol
You are right! I was very impressed with his skill
What a history of that Ohio River! Lol
I think it's telling that they never built a bridge there

@George The HomeSchooling Picker lives in Kentucky but not sure if you are close to her
while the house has mamy well cared for items, will it really bring much? I hope your client will be pleased. Selling is so iffy and regional isnt it?

Only one push pin?
I need three! Or four
@@TheAntiqueNomad Next time bring your own, just play it safe.
What percentage do you charge for consignment?
Varies with the items and the job required, usually around 38%
