"Do you remember The Osbourne show?" I do now. Gonna take me another 15 years to forget it.
@Pink Teardropos Most people were not fans of that show.
8:55 Luigi had a hell of a night.
I think I got more enjoyment out of watching you walk around than I would have if I were there in person.
We're in the roaring 20's and 90's stuff bound to appear in this shop. We're hitting nostalgic levels that shouldn't even be possible
You’re very lucky in the USA with those antique stores.We don’t have anything like that in Scotland.Take care and thanks for the video.😀😀😀😀😀🏴
That's odd, You have an U.K. Antique Roadshow
This shop is in Phoenix, Arizona, and in Glendale, Arizona (which is part of Phoenix) the entire town is dedicated to Antique Shops. Old homes and hotels, most still in use, even the homes, open to the public, along with _dozens_ of antique stores, in the cities downtown district.
Dude, you should make it happen.
@@malcolmdrake6137 basically. I briefly moved to Tucson from Seattle, and the place was a time capsule for sure. Seems like a lot of midwestern towns are like that as well.
12:50 - That particular album from Blue Öyster Cult is extremely underrated. The single from Club Ninja was called _Dancin' In The Ruins_ , which was a sequel to the song _Burnin' For You_ from the 1981 album Fire of Unknown Origin.
\m/
The S is silent on Des Moines :)
pixelbat yep, but you can say it either way.
@@meerathegreyhound1044 You can but the locals will laugh at you.
At least he got Prescott correct on his other video!
I was just thinking that when Eric mentioned it!
My cousin says Illinois sounding out the s at the end.
Holy cow, this was a nostalgia trip. As a kid (8 and under) my family and I went to the location in Denver fairly often. And I really liked looking at all the toys, and it made my day when I would see LEGO in these. As I’ve gotten older and less bored looking at antiques, I kinda miss having one near me, as we moved out to Pittsburgh when I was eight. Thank you for showing this, the nostalgia trip was amazing
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Poor Krusty, with the Corona Extra.
That Coke machine is a 60's Westinghouse " dial o vend" model. Always wanted one of those.
I love the Brass Armadillo. It's like going to a museum where you can buy the stuff on display :)
5:07 The Crystal Castle! I got that for xmas when I was a kid and it was so amazing. 😄
Same! I've seen them around more recently, the thing was loaded. This one seems to be missing the blue transparent double door and windows. It had a throne elevator, a bed with a sponge mattress, and a fitted sheet to hide that, a table (with a global map on it of Etheria, I think) & 2 chairs, a treasure chest, a fireplace and a shield/sword rack. I think that's everything I remember for furniture.
I had a lot of those She-Ra action figures. Including two Mermistas, because I accidentally knocked the head off the first one I had. Did that to a Barbie, too, but I had plenty of those. I still do, even her. She was the Barbie & the Rockers doll.
It occurred to me that you could do this channel almost anywhere now. Half the retailers in Europe are going to collapse.
I went to one of the Brass Armadillos in Phoenix and it was AMAZING. So much cool old stuff!
As to the old radio that did not work, a lot of them can be fixed. Check out channels like RadioTVPhonoNut, Radio Rescue, Mr Carlson's Lab, Shango066, XrayTonyB, Uncle Doug, Bandersentv, and others for videos on how to restore them.
Another good 1 is D Lab electronics though he also does ham radio stuff n old guitar amps too.
still won't pick up FM stations as they are digital now.
19:16 tripped me out 🤣 I thought the lady walking out of the store was coming out of the screen
I love dis place. You could literally spend good 2 hours in just half the store
8:59
Tetrisphere!
Best varaint of Tetris EVER.
I once met that guy who makes I Dream of Jeannie bottles. He was a fellow passenger with me on the Supershuttle to Sky Harbor airport. He was so nice and had great personal stories about the celebrities he had met. I miss the Supershuttle so much. It was a cheap, efficient way to get to the airport and you could meet some really interesting people. Great video! I never knew about this cool place and must check it out. Thank you for highlighting all these awesome nooks and crannies in the Phx area!
Last few birthdays I asked to go to Anzios for a meal (across the street from the Phoenix Brass Armadillo) and the we go walk the Antiques. Everyone always has fun. Thank you for covering this!
Nice video. I come to this place sometimes - lots of neat finds ranging from the 18th-19th century to even as recent as 10-20 years ago. Its a good place to find old furniture if you're into decorating your house with antiques. You can also find stuff to re-sell here for more than what you bought it for as well.
I like going to antique stores too! There is always intresting things to look at.
Such a soothing and nice video. Over here we have been locked down with non-essential retail closed since before Christmas. So it's nice to do some "window shopping" virtually with you. Thanks man
I'd always seen those Dr. Love machines in the mall when I was a kid, but I'd never actually seen anyone use one before in my life. And now I have, thanks!
Finally a good antique mall & not one that's all crafts & made in China new stuff.
Love going there and just looking at everything
In my best day of looking at antiques I don't think I've ever seen so much cool stuff. I geek out over old technology and Retail relics from the past as well as pre-2000 pop culture, and it seems like you had a gold mine there. Good stuff
Love looking at all the old toys and pop culture items!
My parents had that same food processor! They got it for their wedding back in ‘79, and lasted well over 30 years. If you’re in the market, go for that machine!!! ❤️
We have a brass armadillo antique mall in my hometown (Kansas City) I've heard of it on the TV and on the radio because I grew up going to antique malls and thift store. You've convinced me to go now since once this quarantine sends.
Eric, thank you for this . Just what is needed during this period.
Very cool trip through the past. Unfortunately, there's nothing even remotely like the Brass Armadillo here, although I do have actual armadillos that dig up my lawn!
Thanks for this! I've really missed going antiquing, this helped me feel normal for a bit!
The housewares section is pretty much my mom's kitchen. Waring food processor, white serving dish with blue flower, crock pot...
Thanks for another great video.
I loved walking around here first time we went we were there for hours!
Unused footage is coming in handy a lot right now. I like the old stuff. 😁👍
Loved looking at all the stuff, thanks for the tour.
This is literally in my neighborhood
The little porcelain macayos guys are awesome
I want those so bad
as a resident of Des Moines, hearing anybody actually pronounce the "S" at the end is genuinely painful.
I caught that and I'm in California
De - Moines, people.
Get it right.
I was about to say the same thing. 515 for life.
You mean it's not pronounced "Day-Mwah"?!?!
I was too busy having a seizure over the S to catch where the other five Brass Armadillo locations are.
Neat, I much prefer outdoor flea markets or swap meets. The trill of the hunt is fun.
Wow, I've passed by this place a million times going down I-17 and never thought too much of it. I'll definitely have to visit some time!
Thank you for this video! The Brass Armadillos are my favorite stores and I've really missed being able to visit. If you've never checked out the other location, it actually has two levels which is pretty neat!
YES I LOVE ANTQUE
I went to the Denver location once with the fam and absolutely loved it, it being my first time. I would absolutely recommend stopping in if you get the chance
That knob coke machine is so cool. I wonder if it's ever crossed the minds of people at coke, if they had some more unique machines, I'd be more inclined to buy them just to try out the weird machines. They're all so identical and boring though, so there's no "fun" to them. But it's the same premise as the gumballs that would run down a ramp instead of popping right out. I probably spent more getting the ones that came out of fun machines instead of just dispensing instantly.
I wonder if that see through green N64 system was mine from my childhood...when i lived in arizona we sold it to a collector who would resell them, you never know. hmm. good video! I live in California now but I grew up in Gilbert, went to Highland etc so it's fun to see places from my childhood, thank you!
I live just down the street from there and it changes all the time.
I believe that the 1st Saturday of the month, they have a rummage sale in the parking lot.
Brings to mind the little antiques venue in my town.
Need to check it out some time (things are kinda re-opened here).
Wow, what a nice shop. Lots of interesting stuff.
When I worked there in 2006 Alice Cooper had a glass case. I expected it to be signed gothic metal stuff, but it was actually silver & turquoise men’s Indian watches. You could ask employees to check the dealer files to see if he still has a case and they can tell you the number if it’s still there. It was at the location by Metrocenter.
This reminds me a lot of the Bookman stores
Man you left those garbage pail kids cards just sitting there! I woulda scooped up a pack. Back in like 1988 we used to ride our bikes to this place called the sugar crystal. We would use our allowance on garbage pail kids and tons of candy. Good times.
Thanks for uploading your past visits to various places. I love seeing antique stuff. I use to watch the History Channel antique type shows. Takes my mind off of stuff. Stay safe everyone.
6:15: I HAD THAT CASH REGISTER!!!! Omg
Oh hey, I had that parrot Beanie Baby as a kid. :) No idea what happened to it, the adults around me liked re-selling my possessions.
A walk of memory lane. Very cool antique mall.
Great video I enjoyed the different things in this store!
Enjoyed that ! Thank you. Yuma,AZ.
I've been to 4 of the Brass Armadillo locations. Des Moines, Kansas City, Denver and Omaha (where I lived for 10 years.) The Des Moines one is rather small because it was store #1. There was always something cool there. You just never know what you'll find in there. That old tube radio for example. Just too cool!
I love this kind of video. If i had the money i would waste so much on stuff i don't really need. 🤣
I love these types of places, I have one in my area that use to be my childhood K-Mart, so it makes me glad the building is still being used for good things, and going to it is one of the first things I'm going to do when all this crap blows over.
Boy I wish there was a place like this on Long Island...I'd love to browse here. We have some bric and brac stores but nothing too large
Thanks for filming something like this. Def helps during this lockdown. I remember seeing a lot of old stuff and collectibles like this goin to swap meets growing up. I had a lot of those random toys and Xbox games growing up too. So nostalgic.
Wish there was a place like this in LA.
*definitely
There used to be a brass armadillo in Cincinnati. The location moved and it became the Ohio Valley Antique Mall. I'm not sure which happened first. LOL. That's a fun place to explore. Great video!
I used to have the Fisher Price cash register. I would put marbles in the top and they would either come out the side or in the till.
I've been to the one along I-17 when I lived in Phoenix early 2000's
that was great!! brightened up my day for sure....
Thanks Eric! Great vid!!!
Yay! Another spot I’ve been to.
that glassware is midcentury, my sister collects those. Some of them are really valuable, but there are modern cheap Chinese made glass products that look similar so people don't really notice when they see midcentury things
I found this place one time when I went to go look for something to do in between my college classes it’s so cool
I think I’ve been at that one when I first moved to the area back in 2013
Blue Oyster Cult’s “Club Ninja” features the most inexplicable song in their catalog: “Beat ‘Em Up.”
Dude, I would go to the record asle to check it out. On top of that, cool Coke machine is a Coke lamp. Very cool!
18:40 that looked like vasoline glass on the bottom , you should bring a blacklight with you to pick out the radioactive glassware.
Jackal IS a really great game. You have to watch what video mode your TV's in if you try playing it on an NES (or clone) hooked up to a widescreen TV, though. Some NES games aren't too bad under one of the zoom/crop settings, especially since they anticipated that older TVs would crop the edges of the screen anyway, but in Jackal you'll get blindsided more easily by enemies that would have been visible a little sooner in windowboxed or stretched views.
I'm not into collecting things but I always have fun going through the Brass Armadillo in Des Moines. They basically sell something for everyone.
okay that was super cool seeing all of that old stuff! and even beyond the videogames and toys some of that other stuff like the old cameras and that vintage coke machine were super neat to see!!
The Big Boy statuette got my attention. Wonder how many of those restaurants are left?
Toronto and London have some killer antique districts....especially London. I'm always down for a good vintage or antique store. Only problem is it can be exhausting due to so many things crunched together and I get info and merch overload
I had the Fisher Price Toy Airport. Matter of fact I saw it at antique mall a year or two ago.
I have a few of those intel bunny suit dudes. I also have the newer white ones as well.
I live in Tucson and I try to come to this location once every couple of months.
I’ve been craving to go to an antique store but alas they are all closed for the time being so I’m glad to see this video 💚💚
We have one in Melbourne Victoria in Kilsyth and it’s called hunted antiques and collectibles and it set up in the exact same way as this
Been to the two in Phoenix many times in the 1990's. Glad to see they are still in buisness
great shop...i wish there would be similar shops in my country.
The antique mall near me has part of a plane on display and some street signs (which I think are stolen but still fun to look at)
Oh man this looks super cool! Not sure we have any stores like this around where I live, so it's nice to see someone look for me ;P
I finally got to check this place out. I love antiquing, but this location at least (I didn't make it to the Goodyear store) was too much. I probably made it through about 75% actually looking at stuff.
I’ve always passed the one off the 17, never realized how big this place was.
I thought the Goodyear location was the only one. The other locations are news to me haha. Cool video regardless
It's Goodwill.
I've passed that location many times and I've always wondered what it's like in there!
Goodness I have that brown phone 7:54. Use that as an emergency phone when the power goes out
13:07: I think I've seen that thing in movies, when people go to a library to find some specific info.
I NEED to come here!
Funny I remember the Punky Brewster cartoon more than the live action show.
Cool store-y, bro! Hahah.
