OPENING A TIME CAPSULE TRUNK from the locker we bought at the abandoned storage auction

- This is part 3 of the series I'm calling the "Stacked on the Left" locker because everything was stacked on the left side.
I paid $800 for this huge 10x30 and it had mystery and inventory to discover. This day we uncovered a beautiful 1940s wood trunk, which turned out to be a time capsule full of all sorts of keepsakes and memories.
What were they? What was the value? You'll have to stay tuned and find out. Come along with us for another storage locker adventure, and get a taste of what makes us Locker Nuts.

Locker Nuts episode 47
LOL! I love listening to your wife. She prioritizes just like mine. "...yeah it's cute, throw it away" Priceless
Thomas Hatch thanks Thomas ✨✨
Thanks Thomas
All the HP's! I have all those! LOVE those books. A British broadway actor reads them and he is awesome!
Mr. and Mrs. Locker Nuts I got rid of all of my toys as I grew up. Kinda wish I kept all my Star Wars figures, Lego's, and Lincoln logs, Fisher Price toys
When my Mom and Dad moved into a nursing home, they had an almost identical Cedar or Hope Chest - polished it up we sold it as per their instructions, and easily raised $250 for the estate.
My grandma gave me stuff I sent her when I was a kid shortly before she passed and now that she's gone it means the world to me. I get it out and it brings back the best memories and then even more memories as I recall the things we did or talked about..... It may not mean much now but it may mean more than you think later. When she passed, her stuff was rushed away and nobody got any memories. I was lucky; she gave me what she wanted me to have before leaving Earth and I was able to share with those that got nothing in the rush to remove her possessions.
Spring Christine that’s so sweet, thanks for sharing
Love that cedar chest... Montgomery wards..way vintage. Killing it with Harry Potter treasures.
Diane Green
It is nice! It is a hope chest.
Keep the flashlights, I always kept a tiny light along with my loupe, a magnet and small knife in my "picking kit". Cuts way down on guessing.
Great closing hey :)
Very enjoyable time spent with you again, thank you for sharing with us ❤️ As a "beginner" journal maker, ya, I'm drooling over the ephemera :)
Please donate the stuff don't trash it! people buy old letters, photo's & cards!
Just an FYI: please make sure you keep the Cedar Hope Chest locked at all times when you are not in it if the lock hasn't been replaced with a newer version. Most of the old cedar chests (many made by Lane Company) were death traps for little kids because they could not be opened from inside once closed, leading to suffocation. Lane is still in business and they send replacement locks for any of their cedar chests if you contact them. I don't know if yours was made by Lane or not but better safe than sorry, keep it locked always to keep kids out.
Michelle Mack my goodness that’s scary I’ve never heard of that before
@@janna5157 Yes, I believe the death toll for Lane cedar chests is at 18 and still rising even though they have been on the recall lists for years because people still don't know they should remove the locks and get them replaced. The original recall was started in 1996 and it was announced again in 2000 but these tragedies keep happening because so many of the chests (over 8 million) were sold. Not all cedar chest latch automatically but they should all be checked. I'll get off my soapbox now. :-)
That is a cedar chest. It had many storage uses. One with it being cedar it would protect your blankets and quilts from moths. It would also be given to young ladies to store their wedding things.
@Barb J Eklund Or in my case, "The Hopeless Chest". ..oh well.
Nice family! Great stuff! Tyfs.
This unit was really amazing. Really great buy!
Love the Space Shuttle piece. I live near the Space Center in Florida. My husband has worked at the Space Center for 29 years.
We never get tired of watching rockets being launched. It rattles the windows in our house. Beautiful sight every time.
Georgie Campbell that’s super cool to love that close, amazing experience
Awesome I was eagerly awaiting this haul 😎
Love the kids music box. Great memories
Omy gosh! You two are just too funny! LOL on the "pet cemetery" Great video Thank you for sharing.
Betty Dount thanks for watching✨✨✨

EPHEMERA !
Cool seeing everybody at the end‼️‼️🥰
Someone said I priced my stuff too cheap when I sell it fast. I just say: But I sell it. And I get some profit, that's the idea. If I overprice it and get stuck with it, what's the point? Lower pricing means quicker sells, happy customers, everyone wins! Glad to see a professional such as you thinks the same.
Great video you had so many things at your sale.
All those papers and cards can be sold, ephemera. Also pictures sell. Paper and Moose on utube collects all types of letters and papers, even stuff not so old
Handsome family you have there Jack. nice video see you at the next one.
Some more interesting finds.
You make great vids! Enjoy seeing what you find
Jeanette Bjerrum thanks so much!!!
Thanks
I have the same cedar chest, in that waterfall style. Mine still has labels inside too, I guess that was a thing - to keep the label, lol.
Great video as always, and Im glad that you threw away the fabric!! ;) Mrs. Locker Nuts is right!
TJ Horth thank you TJ ❤️
Great trunk😊
The honey I think is made from bees who feed or collect pollen from a black berry blossom.... I think the color would be very dark if black berries were added. My husband used to work with apiaries and said the same thing. Might be just fine as honey doesn’t spoil, may “sugar” but just warm in hot water bath and it will unsolidify the sugaring.
Hahaha the fabric have patterns or anything on them cos people do use them? Love u all
Gidday, the book, love is in the earth, worth good $’s FR crystal collectors, great find
My mom has a cedar chest like that. She is 85 years old almost 86. It has her old memories, quilts etc in it. We were not allowed unit even now
I always believe in mixing so much in 3 to 4 out at times and in small flates
The tables may have done better on Facebook market place. Great video. I had a cedar chest like that when I was young and loved it but after my father passed away, mom let my sister take whatever she wanted from the house since she knew she wasn't going to end up staying in a 13 room house for more than a couple of years by herself. It was sad that my brother and I weren't given the same opportunity to pick a few things for ourselves since our dad was a big antique collector.
This was a great video Jack & Happy Father's Day!
Thanks Tish!
@@LockerNuts You are very welcome!
Old fabric in good condition can sell for crazy money, especially entire pieces of 1930s feed/flour sack fabric. Quilters go nuts. Used patterns go for ballast unless they're seriously old or some fancy designer. As for cards, I make my own. :-)
OriginalNethead we make our cards too
I buy fabric all the time from all kinds of estate sales and thrift stores ❤ I especially like the older pieces…
@12:00, the 3 girls sitting, the house in the background looks like the ones in the little sawmill town I grew up in in south Alabama. Could be one of my sisters.
Chest was originally called a Hope Chest, also FYI bundle old cards ( Birthdays, Holidays, etc) there are collectors out there, true these are not the antiques that you think about but there are new collectors that these would be a good start.
Awesome Video! 👍
Thanks!!
Your doing so good. Keep it up you'll be rich one day😁😁😁👍👍
Thanks so much for watching✨✨
Cool vid😎
The big serving spoon is from Corning. They made a series to match their pots and dishes.
It just means the honey comes from blackberry pollen
I never go down on my CDs and DVDs until I have had them out 4 times but always have them on that sell always add New stuff when I am low
Another excellent video, kudos to you on the garage sale so clean and organized. The cedar chest would of been more valuable if it was a Lane.They are stamp “Lane” into the wood. Kershaw is a good brand for knives. ♥️
Thanks so much Maddie
Kershaw is a very good brand. Expensive tho. They also make some of the best hunting knives.
16:15 there are no blackberries in the honey, the bee hive was located near a field of blackberries and the bees used the blossums to make the honey. It is not only safe to consume, but it's good for you!!!
Hey those potter wands can go for as much as $ 50 and up on amazon
It's not blackberry honey it's honey from bee's that got their pollen from blackberry blossum flowers
They were called Hope chests or cedar chests & were used to store linens and memories. It is pretty.
From the glimpse I got, the veneer pattern on that cedar chest matches the bedroom set from my grandmother's house.
Dear Mrs. LockerNuts... The fabric is a 50/50 chance, although I generally like Mr. LockerNuts t-shirts, I wish that I could see the items that address coming out of the trunk...But I think you two are a cute couple and I'm glad I found your YT channel! Blessings!!🙂
Another entertaining video. I won't argue with your wife, but at my mom's estate sale, people buy up fabric to make things like pillows and stuff. My mom was a seamstress back in the day (went to Laney Trade in Oakland). Probably better when you have a box of it at a sale rather than a few scraps. But people do make quilts and I know a lady at my work who works in a group to make them for senior groups. Will try to make it out to the Garage sale this weekend in Livermore. If I do, you all eat donuts or bagels? Let me know ahead of time.
Greg Brehm thanks so much we love donuts 🍩
Check the harry Potter books for 1st edition and check comps on eBay....they go for more than a garage sale sale. Thanks for sharing....we could get use to the daily videos...lol
A C thanks so much!
I have a chest of drawers that matches that cedar chest. Cool piece!
Lori Conley it was super neat for sure
You can get cards at the dollar store for a dollar Jana that’s where I buy mine I just can’t spend that much on cards I knew when I saw the dog collar on the box I knew it was ashes tyfs💕🙋♀️nice hope chest y’all are a great family love the video
Faye Grogan great tip on the cards!
All you have to do to get it to liquify is put the jar in a pan of water and heat it till it becomes a liquid again. Just remember to take the lid off.
We had the exact same cedar chest when I was a kid.
That little hickory Dickory clock is ancient!
A cedar chest was a gift usually from her parents when she was a teenager in high school. In this she would put some of her personal keepsakes and maybe things to set up housekeeping so she wouldn’t just show up empty handed. Something like a dowry.
That is called a Cedar Chest usually 16 year olds get it on the 16th birthday to start putting stuff in their for their own place
The pet ashes are great fertilizer for your rose garden, sell the boxes.
Old hallmark cards are collectible and fabric can be donated ...
Harry Potter 1st edition are worth 50k+
Not sure if the Harry Potter is an action figure?
I took all the things my kids made for me and took pictures and had a photo album out of them and then got rid of the stuff. I have 1 more box to do.
Back To Country that’s a great idea
Jack you are looking so good with the hat!Make a second job,as a Hat-Model;o)Greetings to the Locker Nuts Family^^
Us electronics guys love those little pen screw driver great for working on alarm systems you can go to a house dressed decent and have that for your visits to show a system to a customer who could be in a million dollar home and not want you dragging tools all over there house to show them a system my grandfather always carried one in his shirt pocket brings back memories.....
Who's everys stuff this was had lot of money into there stuff crazy 😎😎
That is a Hope Chest.
Cedar chests were made for keeping clothes or blankets in and to keep bugs out as moths don't like the smell of cedar.
The wooden box as you call it is a hope chest. Young girls fill them with items to furnish their home.
I love Janna!
Heehee - I like your style Janna 7:49 in Throw it away... and again later, Throw it away. Heh... It's just like me and my husband... he tells me off for too much stuff and yet he is a hoarder of the weirdest inconsequential stuff. I can't ever throw anything in the bin that he would deem too good to let go... mostly expired or broken things... it's hilarious really.
the german cutters are for pruning in the garden .
Some really great stuff ! Loved the chest !
Thanks Lisa!
Always check the cards and envelopes I use to get money from relatives and saved it in the cards
Debbie M yes we do too so many times we find things
Where is the flea market you go to on Monday's?
Jeffery Black Stockton on Mondays
Thank you
Honey is good forever and the blackberries are what the bees were fed
Cedar trunks like that were called "hope chests". Originally young women would embroider pillowcases, towels, etc. to use someday when they'd get married. They'd add other things for their future home. My mom had one she got around 1940.
Used with wok cooking. The strainer on a handle
Honey is called by things like blackberry honey because the hives are usually right in or near a blackberry field and the bees honey is from what yet eat hence blackberry honey
Point the camera at item NOT Mr. Lockernuts please!
It was driving me nuts lol! 😉
Yeah sorry about that
Hello from Portugal 😁
Hello Marie thanks for watching!
@@LockerNuts you're welcome 😊
Does the boomerang really come back when you throw it? Lol never seen one
You might be able to locate owners through the pet records...even the pet cemetery may have records.
If you own the locker items now and you have the client name, can you contact the client regarding the cedar chest items? Sad to hear 'its not valuable, throw it away'.. its priceless to them I would imagine. 😢
Second time watching 😁
ok just gotta say I've seen part 1 and 4 how do you find these in order ????
I have a playlist set for the whole series. Here's the link:

Dollar Tree is the best place for cards!
What’s the details on the skate boards? They look bigger than normal ones are they professional or like Walmart
5X8 locker was up to $80.00. I saw a few things where I can make my $$ back. So I prayed about it. I was going to bid but I didn't. I really wanted to win a locker. I just have to wait patiently.
Willie B you’ll find just the perfect one!!!
God is always good.
thats a hope chest or cedar chest every house used to have one,,don't use oil or wax on the cedar part,,,ephemera is pronounced e-fem-er-a. is a fast growing area of collectibles right now going way up in value old cards even,,,old photos, etc. goes to show u keep anything long enuff its worth something lol as mike will tell you,,,you manifested boomerang's by thinking about them ,,,love you and your family
my mom had a cedar chest that looks very similar to the one you found...she is 94
eileen parker that’s super cool!
That is called an Old Hope Chest that's what a mother would give to her daughter after she got married it would have quilts blankets pillows sheets play no different things in it for the married couple I know my mother-in-law to give us one when we got married me and my wife God bless my wife's beautiful soul in heaven
John Lucas that’s so sweet thanks for sharing ✨✨
Damn if I was near you I would have bought that chest for $150!!
Check the cards to
Check for money in all those cards. Could be money left behind.
Kids stuff like arts and crafts photograph it then give them it on a usb. Or save in the cloud so you always have a copy.
Great tip! I totally agree. I do that with large projects especially because they take up so much space. Thanks!!
Hi ya people
It’s nice to see your happy face
Thanks
$56 bought new price but heaven forbid you lose one from a library
That is a very nice hope chest.
