- Thrifted Vintage Fills Estate Sale | Where to Find Antique Bargains
Goodwill is the origin of a lot of what we see in the first part of this video! Sourced from a defunct thrift shop (whose owner picked Goodwill for years), we sift through a selection of mostly vintage and antique collectibles, figuring out what should go to our shops and shows…and what should stay for the upcoming estate sale.
Items from three estates are being liquidated in the estate sale, being held the last week of June to coincide with Kentucky’s annual Highway 41 Yard Sale! The estate sale is near the midpoint of the route, 150 miles of communities where sales of anything a reseller or collector can imagine might turn up.
Since this is a real liquidation, we take a thorough look at everything that’s up for sale (or at least that was unpacked when we filmed!). Now it’s time to price these items back at thrift store prices, so resellers can get things wholesale and take quantity. We have a lot more people who want to send items to sell, so all must go!
Here are some of the items we see during this unloading and staging event:
European box, Navajo sand paintings, Syroco birds, Somerso vase, Denise Ford for Ganz vase, Frankoma political mugs, sgrafitto elephant, walnut man, Indiana carnival grape pitcher, Minnie Mouse figural, Italian wine cooler, Trifari pin, Khokhloma lacquer, Delft Blue decanter, fountain pen/stand, Exxon commemorative, English tile, hardware display, Noritake Yale dinnerware, bottle cap display, 1910s carnival glass grape bowl, Michael Cohen tile, 1930s silent butler, Mexican mollas, Whiting & Davis handbag, B. Makowsky handbag, vintage hats, Thai brass flatware set, 1950s chenille blanket, Fox and other 1920s prints, Haeger 1970s orange bowl, raku buffalo fetish, Shawnee windmill, 1920s peacock tray, Native American and African baskets, Franklin Mint eggs (as seen in Serial Mom!), vintage pipes and lighters, paper ephemera, vintage breweriana, vintage to newer cameras, lenses, plates and equipment, wall map, games, Frankoma Christmas and Bicentennial plates, Native American stone tools, Western Americana and decor, Lenox lady figurines, Abingdon wall pocket, Japanese slot machine, Tea Leaf Ironstone, Peter Terris for Shenango, vintage kitchenware, vintage linens, dinette set, Syracuse and Metlox china sets, depression and uranium glass, etc.

I don't want to lose you, but someone is going to sweep you up for tv. They gonna give you a show and Wham-O, bye to my fave!
Well, I certainly would be surprised and pleased if that happened, I'm not sure how easy that transition is?
The problem is the producers would tell him what to do 😞
😂💥👍🏻
George, you are artistic, intelligent , i wish I had a small piece of your brain. I bet your mom brags about you all the time.
You are really kind to say so, and yes, she's been supportive all along and is a viewer too!
I realize you are a businessman who sells vintage and antiques, but more importantly you are a good person who spreads knowledge and as you are proving who helps others. You are good karma!
Well thank you, Cheryl! I believe it's possible to be both of those things.
Yes, thank you!!
Great video. Just found you today, came over from Crazy Lamp Lady. Would you consider slowing the scroll on the text down a little? It's hard to look and read. I hate to miss anything!
Hi, Jenna! I've only recently heard the script has to be adjusted if you're viewing on a phone? I agree the script could be slower sometimes too, it looks different on my laptop than on tv for example. I'm really glad you commented, it's great to meet a new viewer and I really think a lot of Jocelyn so I'm sure we'll all have fun together!
Yes Georgie really has been very helpful for me I started buying to resale and I had not posted any thing because like George I found thrift stores I am done with Goodwill even buying for myself it's just gotten so bad I did look up auctions and I found Goodwill auctions really so it pay to be the upper crust,I have been visiting a Christian thrift store there is a bit of clothing but there nice and fare so I bought some nice sleepers for 2.00 a pice
Oh! how I wish the estate sales in my area were priced that low on the first day. I have to wait until the last day of the sale to get prices like yours and by then all the good stuff is gone. lol!
Interesting! I didn't realize she was still such a thing. I'm a dumb guy about that stuff, I only knew of her originally because a neighbor worked at their Seattle store
George you are truly a gem 💎 💖. I wish I knew half of what you know.
You are too kind!
The variety at your sale is wonderful. Gosh your prices make me want to drive down from northern Illinois. You are one hard worker George!
Thank you! I had people from southern Illinois and Michigan come through it was fun
the blue noritake dishes are very pretty.
George , you're a total blast. Such a nice command of the facts. The Frankoma story is fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you kindly! Glad to share
WOW, that is some collection for sure. I would be having too much fun there. I would need some funds but not a lot to buy some of the things I seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me I find it very informative when I step into the thrift stores, especially on glass ware. You have a great day
I really want people to get to see and experience the fun things I do in this antique and vintage world, I'm so glad it's helpful to you! That was quite a collection for sure, I'm still selling some of those items
!!!!George!!!! Can you tell us what town you are in? The midway point of the 41 yard sale has lots of little towns, I don't want to miss your amazing sale.
Earlington, just south of Madisonville. Hope to see you here!
The bottom of the fish plate at 5:41 looks like canvas because the clay was rolled out on a piece of canvas either by hand or more likely run through a slab roller. The slab of clay would then be put in a mold to shape it. I'm not sure if they cut out the fish shape before or after placing it in the mold.
That makes sense, a fast way to do it
That was a book full of info in just 48 min!!!! Lot to take in. prob need to rewatch few more times.
By all means! I try to say what I see
What a grand sale.. wish I was there
Hi George, cool store house. Always enjoy seeing your pieces 😊 you sure fit lots in there, mt word ! 😅
makes me want to get in the van and start a long drive to Kentucky!!!!.....Those are great prices......hope you get flocks of bargain hunters with big smiles and less cash in their pockets.... traded for the best finds in the state!
I"m hoping it makes a lot of people happy and clears a LOT of stuff out for me.
That was simply amazing and You will be really busy George. I loved every single part of this episode !!!
I’m so glad! We’ll see how it goes this weekend
Wish I was close enough to come by... Thank you for showing everything!
Me too! My pleasure
Great video Georgie!
I would love to see a before and after the sale video. Like a recap and review. That would be interesting
Noted! If I ever can get things put together before the last minute, I"ll work on a before and after
thanks for not telling everyone a vhs is worth $50 :)
I know, right? I mean, some are but the vast majority--no.
Greetings from FISHBURN Co Durham , WOOP WOOP CHICKEN SOUP , Love and peace ,Carl
Cool! Glad you caught this
If this sale was near me I would clean it out! Especially the glass. That Blenko bottle is drool worthy. Looks like it could possibly be the tequila sunrise line.
It's my favorite shape of Blenko decanter! It needs more cleaning than I'm willing to undertake though
THANK YOU GEORGE❤️❤️ i heard you say This ( "you better have The BEST one ,The CHEAPEST one or The ONLY ONE " ) yesterday and used it today when out shopping in regards to EBAY ...is this the best? cheapest? only ? nope nope nope PASS ON IT
Excellent! I think that will help you from scary death pile accruement like I’m facing now
Wonderful George video to Share with friends. Simply click Share Arrow & email or text video to them. Lots to see and learn
Now I know that what I have is a "silent butler". Mine is very ornate & very pretty, but I had zero clue what it was. Thanks for being the Bringer of the Answer. At 29:04, the dog dating to 1910 I SO wish I had been there to buy. ** Heavy Sigh ** At 30:07, I saw an old black & white photograph of an event with lots if round tables & was curious as to what event it was.
I think that was a bottling convention if I recall correctly
That box of recipes. I inherited one with flowers. No value. Dad got gold stamps and no value. Very little gold on them. Went thru half of mom's costume jewelry and had them baggies of lots for $1. Goodwill got most.
Wow! That's interesting. You must live where women just don't wear the costume jewelry, I priced contemporary no-name pieces at $5/each and sold about 50 of them! I wish I'd have been able to help you.
Hey George, Frankoma is still making the political donkey and elephant mugs as special editions. The 2021 glaze color is periwinkle (my favorite color).
Hi there! I was pleasantly surprised by your message, there'd been talk that the people who bought their molds were going to start issuing new pieces but I didn't realize they had. I'll have to check out that glaze, periwinkle is a great shade!
Hi George, have a cookie jar lid from childhood. Mom saved it cause she lived it so much. She broke the bottom but couldn't part with the lid. She has recently passed and I have re-discovered it. Been told it's Gilner. In all your travels, you are my best bet.....
I know you must get a lot of this, but I'm desperate to find the bottom. I have only seen 1 picture in pink, but ours was yellow......is there somewhere I can send a pucture?? It would mean the world to me. Love your videos, love the knowledge, you are amazing in your knowledge of history.
Please send to me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com! I don't see Gilner cookie jars much at all, but if you send a pic I'll definitely keep my eyes out for you
i want that ganz vase ,if anyone has one please let me know
There’s one for sale at Vintage Modern St. Petersburg in my space, if you don’t find one prior I’ll be down there in two weeks and if it hasn’t sold we can make arrangements
I need your help. I have a short black, maybe jet facetted glass beaded choker style necklace. On the clasp it says made in Austria. On one side it has a flattened bead, it really is something. How much is something like that worth? Sorry, but I love it, and don't want to sell it too cheap. Lol. I would rather you have it..
Hi! Your description sounds like the type of jewelry that became popular around 1950 when hair styles suddenly shortened. To prove something is actual jet (Whitby England coal) requires testing which can be abrasive and ill-advised if you're not sure how. Presuming yours is glass, it would then depend on design, but likely under $40 retail.
You know so much and am I am so happy to see your videos! And…molas are from Panama and Columbia. Mexico also has fantastic textile art. 😊
Me too 😊
Would have loved to have been there. Can only imagine what treasures you uncovered in the hoard. Saw so much I would have purchased! Wish most of the estate sales in central FL weren't into the retail pricing or hold all the good things for their themselves. I understand they are in business to make money but I really don't appreciate being spoken down to when I'm not willing to pay their prices. You did not mention a dollar amount on anything that a reseller could not make a decent profit on. Thanks again for all the info.
Agreed they forget who the customer is sometimes! I held a huge sale in Winter Park and people bought a ton because it was priced Right
The greatest prices I have ever heard from a reseller!!! That proves the great person you are!!
Well, it's also relative to the needs of my clients, some have time to liquidate and some need it fast. But thank you, I do try to be real about pricing for the situation!
Hope you had a successful sale. I might be near you around July 5 and wondered if you might be open for customers then. If so, what are the hours and address?
Hi there! I will be here 7/5, send me an email at theantiquenomad@gmail.com and we can figure out particulars. I won't be open to the public but you're welcome to come see
When you say you have to "research" an item, do you use the internet only or do you still rely on books? Lots of fun George, I'm dizzy!
I mainly use internet but not exclusively
You are going to be so crazy busy!! I wish I could come over from Washington state.
Hopefully I'll have an estate sale there again this year, now that they're starting to be able to happen again
Michael Cohen? Trumps former lawyer!
Coincidence? I think so lol
@39:48 How much will you be selling that white with pink trim plate with the kitty in the middle?! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi there, I'm afraid I already had a request for it but will let you know if it doesn't go through
Luv cucumber sammwiches
Much success to you. New sub..
Thanks and welcome! I hope you have fun with me and the channel, new episodes every Mon/Wed 7 pm Eastern and you're welcome to hang out in the chat if you like
Hi George! Silent viewer and fan here:) I wonder if you would be willing to ship any of these items for those who can’t come to your estate sell? Any pre buying from this video? Thanks for sharing your knowledge by the way. I have learned so much from you!
If I still have it, it's for sale! Please email your request to theantiquenomad@gmail.com, it's too hard to keep up with them via comments
I mentioned that vase in my last posting, I truly love it! Anyway to contact you? I know you have eBay but not sure you are selling it there. Very interesting items, even Minnie. Thanks George.
You need to email him about the item you were interested in, his contact information will be in the description of this video. I would email him and tell him exactly item you want and make a good offer,I assume he gets a lot of emails so putting your intent in the subject line might be a good idea. For example very interested in fill in the blank for the items you were interested in offer enclosed.
Hi there! I'm having trouble keeping up with everything so I apologize, I didn't see that. Which vase is it? If I still have it, I'm glad to send. Please contact me at my email, theantiquenomad@gmail.com
@@Kathryn4268 thank you very much for the info, very kind of you.
George, what a fabulous stash at your estate sale! Wish I was there! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! I'm sure there'll be more in the futue.
Thank you George! I wish I lived closer!
Me too!
You have an infectious personality and it really come through on camera
Aww, thank you, I'm glad my enthusiasm shows!
Loved the video George! Wishing you the best of luck on your sale 🌞
Thanks so much, it was fun!
Your killing me! Oh how I’d 💖 to go to your estate sale! I love SO much it! Lucky sale for anyone! Wonderful set up also! Good luck with your sale and thanks for making me jelly! 😂
Thank you! I hope perhaps I'll have one near you sometime
In Holland they use gouda as shooting targets its wurth nothing haha if they dont have goude they use delft
I'm sure there's a lot there still, but it's really popular in the states again
Hi George, hope u are well
George, this is crazy. I watched this video this morning and for some reason the comment about the $9 Weller stuck in my head. I went to an estate sale and found, you guessed it, a 14" Weller vase marked at $18 but because it's Sunday it was half off. So I got my Weller for $9!
Wow! Isn't that funny? I am happy for you to get a nice big piece like that for such a wonderfully low price
You can unwind and get excited all at the sane time and I have some fun catching up to do...thanks. You are fabulous and what a fun and great thing to do for everyone..just wonderful...thanks. I loved your hat modeling. I would LOVE to get there...thanks George.
I'm just so happy to be able to be of service! Maybe we'll see you here someday
@@TheAntiqueNomad It will be a wonderful blessing one day..
This was fun to watch.
Thank you! I had fun showing it
Hey George! I was having a lot of buffering on this one. The European pressed wood box is a nice one. I like that sort of thing. The carving on that Indian brass elephant is super-nice. That green Carnival Glass bowl is really pretty. The green pieces usually bring more than the other colours. That one looked like Dugan's "Heavy Grape". I have a chenille bedspread an elderly friend gave me. It's from the '50's. I like that frame the $10.00 1920's print is in. I've actually thought about starting a collection of vintage handkerchiefs. Some of them have really nice patterns on them. There were a couple of those pipes I really liked. I liked the frame the flapper girl was in, too. There's enough there to browse for days! That should be a great sale!
I was having that trouble at first too, it eventually stopped thank goodness. I also find the green carnival does a little better. I liked the frames better than the pictures on a lot of these, hence they're up for adoption this weekend. It's funny, I have a customer who loves hankies and I never thought much of them until I saw how she shadow boxes them and uses them in interesting ways! Thanks for watching and we'll have (hopefully) some trips to some areas with some upper-end collections soon
I’ve seen embroidered handkerchiefs used to create wedding dresses on a special greetings cards
Love the costume jewelry!!! the Betsey Johnson stuff is cool! ....why do I like the jewelry so much and I dont even sell much. LOL
The honail pitcher is by Hobbs Brockunier from around the late 1880s and is very collectable. At the right price I would've gotten that. Love your vids btw ❤
Wauuu ....i could loose myself in these rooms
I did a few times myself! :)
The Dooney & Bourke is a (bad) fake. I don't claim to be even remotely an expert on ANYTHING, but I started out reselling online specifically selling purses (lucite and other vintage), and will be happy to help you authenticate them if you ever need any help or want info on how to spot fakes!
@@eclecticdeb4394 I love Dooney & Bourke also, Deb! Particularly the vintage. On the one that was shown, the British tan color trim and handle was not correct, the stitching was not correct, and it was a design that was never, ever made by Dooney right off the bat. I only know VINTAGE Dooney...I'd have to do some HARD research on any that I were to come across that are newer than probably 20 years old! 🙃
Thank you very much for letting me know! I just took it out of the bag and filmed, hadn't really spent any time looking at it...there are a LOT of fake designer purses, and it's not something I would list without research because it's easy to be fooled. Part of the reason for my channel is to become more educated myself, I'm grateful that viewers aren't shy about telling me when something isn't what it seems
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm sure that you would have figured it out yourself, George, but It's always a plus to get help from friends that have researched it already so that you don't have to do redundant research yourself, I think! You helped me out with the "Gel gloss" recommendation for my Formica table, as well as many other things...Hopefully we can all help eachother in some small way! 👍❤
I’m confused. How do we find your sale?
You can go to Craigslist, EstateSales.Net, etc., but the directions are easy...go to the Hwy. 41 sale, and on Hwy. 41 about 3 miles south of Madisonville, Kentucky, is the town of Earlington. My signs will say ESTATE SALE and be posted near the only stoplight in town, right on Hwy. 41
Holy Cow 😱 Did I miss something here ???? I was watching a video where you went 8 hrs to a ladies home and brought what you could back in one load . This tour of estate stuff did NOT come from that trip !!!!!!! And you mentioned you could have done another sale from this one estate on more modern stuff!! Was she a seller ? Yeah that's it she had to be a seller. I'd love to be a buyer and go around and buy all these things at bargains BUT It takes a very dedicated hard worker to get all of it sold 😵
🥃 New drinking game... take a shot each time you see something from your past during live chat videos 😆 I’d better have a bottle of milk or else I’d kill a bottle of tequila before halfway through! 📸 George ya need to model those hats for a calendar photo shoot before they all sell! 👒
I would buy a calendar!
Loving that idea!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Both drinking & calendar I hope. 😁
Where exactly is the estate sale and what time do you start?
I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier! There are some items left, it's in western Kentucky near Madisonville, if you're in the area I'd be glad to have you come see what's left
I sure wish I knew you where on here when this sale was going on
There'll be another one at my storehouse this June!
George is getting Lucky in Kentucky!
I feel lucky!
Is Delft valuable, George? I have a oh about 6 inch tall pitcher/creamer
If I get my tax return back in time, I will definitely find a way to add you on to my trip! What great deals you’ve got!!!!
Love your videos!! Learn something new with every video. I appreciate you and the time you put in your channel.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Oh ignore my comment, just now saw date of this video!!!
I wish I knew sooner about the sale.
I'm sorry about that! If you're near enough to the area (or any of the three main areas where I sell), add your name to the email list, I"m at wkyestatesales.com
Will this be for sale on ebay?? Love the costume jewelry
What a fun video
What a great guy
Aww shucks! :)
Hello, from @mjanejewelryfindings I am a new subscriber. I heard a lot about you and how knowledgeable you are on a lot of things as far as vintage. Sure enough, you are. Hoping I can learn from you...😅
Thank you so much! Please tell your friends, it's fun to have everyone get to learn along with me
😁👌
Hi George
The large statue in white of woman against a half moon. Can i buy and will u ship?
Guess not??
I'd be glad to sell it to you, she's actually a head vase so that's hollow behind her. She does have one chip. Please email me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com if you're interested, that's where I take orders because otherwise the thread gets lost in all these messages
I do love the oval door light. I’d pay jumbo money for that to be placed in an upstairs bedroom Wall But I don’t have jumbo money. Dooney and Bourke purse is a wonderful style! They last forever. Always a classic.
I want those horses!!! 🙌🏻
I like those too, never have had a place where a glass door light was appropriate but maybe someday. Dooney & Bourke does seem to outlive everything else!
All I need is $1000 and a ride to Kentucky. I am waiting! I think I will still be waiting come Monday! Good luck and I hope you clean up!
Thanks! You too!
Do you go to shows in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama?
What a brainiac about antiques you are! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! Love you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad I have something you enjoy hearing about!
Wish I was there........
Me too!
Wishing you wonderful luck at your estate sale George! This was a great video and all of us who are not close enough to attend sure wish we could. It looks amazing! I adore all those amazing Native American baskets, I imagine they will all be gone because they are wonderful! I imagine most of that stuff will be gone it is all really great stuff! Again, wishing you all the success in the world, you deserve it, you work so hard and your heart for helping people is a lovely thing to see ♥️
Thanks so much! That is really kind of you to say. I like the stuff but the people are the reason for it
Wish I could come
Me too!
Wish I could come
Me too!
wow! fantastic prices. I'm sitting here in New Zealand wishing I could be at your sale. All the best for the sale. I am sure you are going to make a lot of people very happy.
Thanks! It was a lot of fun. I hope to get to NZ someday
Hi George, thank you for sharing this wonderful diverse collection; I would be at the sale if I lived closer. you might need multiple cashiers to process the sales. have a great week.
Thank you! It was fun to help ferret out her best items to bring. I hope you have a good week too!
great video♥️
Thank you!
You’ll have a great sale….the brass elephant is really nice & the wooden Minnie Mouse is cool…good luck
Thanks, Rosa! I sure had fun doing it
WOW!! Good luck!!! I wish I was there!
I'm looking for some of those pieces
Love your hat & tiara try on!! Very handsome!! Thanks for your videos!!
👑❤️🎩
Lol I don't know that it enhances me but it was fun! Thank you for watching
I used centrifuge at work
The silverware was awesome I bought a box to put one of my sets of silver j got from grandma ❤️❤️
I have a boxed set of my own! I'm a big fan of using the silver, I use my flatware daily
I sure wish I could shop your estate sale. Looks like a lot of fun stuff! I always learn something new from you, thank you!
I'm glad! Thank you, perhaps I'll have one near you someday
It's going to be a great sale! I'm one State over (albeit, far to the west) and wish I had made plans to attend! Hope you sell all.
Next time! I'm sure there'll be another there eventually.
I’m still drooling over that Wedgwood silver biscuit jar! If it didn’t sell I’d love to buy it from you!
Please email me, I think I had two and only one sold! theantiquenomad@gmail.com
I LOVE the butterfly lamp. I've never seen that before! Wish I was going to your sale!!
Me too!
I remember the lie detector game! You’ve got a lot of great stuff. I wish you were closer. Good luck with your sale!
Thank you! It was fun to see that game again after many years
I was FREAKING OUT!! BEAUTIFUL THING'S your sale is going to be AMAZING!! Wish I could attend. I will just live through YOU. This was such a GREAT VIDEO!! ❤ LOVE YOU
Thanks! I sure hope so, it's time to let go and gather elsewhere.
