Nothing of “book value” really... I specialize in class one through five Pyrobilia....The stuff with value starts at the DOT era then ICC then class 3,2,1 etc...99% of the valuable stuff is going to be either pre-70s era fire cracker packs and salute boxes ..Although , the rarity is not always determined by age but by what’s left out there...now there are cases where a 50-year-old item has less value than a 10-year-old item because there’s a lot of that particular 50-year-old item still out there but not the 10-year-old item(simple supply and demand)... not to say there’s not a market for everything but a majority of the valuable collectible Pyro items are always going to be fire cracker packs and salute boxes now you get to stuff that’s 70+ years old then some thing as simple as a one shot mortar could be worth $500 but those are far and few in between for that age ...I’ve been collecting almost 4 decades since I was a kid ... I go to all the auctions have contributed w pyro publications price guides etc...etc. etc. get with me anytime Tom@TDMerchantConsulting.com ......PYRO ON!! Always been a fan of your videos since the beginning
Very useful information!! Thanks again and I will be getting in contact for sure! :)
CodyBPyrotechnics .....absolutely bro....Thanks for responding & keep up the awesome work
Are you A.K..A. 'Mr. Black Cat'? I remember buying lots of pre '70s stuff in the early 90s, lots of Keystone, Rozzi single shots, a couple packs of crackers from the 1890s and a rocket heading from the 1850s (bamboo guide stick is missing unfortunately). Lots of the 90s stuff isn't worth much as far as cash goes, but it sure is fun to light off and enjoy. That store is a total throwback to what all pyro shops used to be like - focusing on the 'smalls'. I absolutely LOVE the variety that smalls provide and the packaging gives a bit of mystery to what the product does, which can leave a person guessing until the moment the fuse is lit..unlike most of the cakes and items of today that pretty much describe all the effects. Kinda like trying to watch a movie when the guy next to you has seen it before and blabs out the ending - a bit of a downer. I live in central Montana and would like to know where this store is - have been trying to hunt down some older 'smalls' to enjoy!
B. Thompson that’s honestly what I do with class five and six it’s all pretty much fun stuff to burn unless of course it’s my last of something.... and I’ve had many a pseudonym over the years on everything from the major auction sites we all know and love down to the private ones .....LOL I’m a bit more reclusive and selective on the collectors scene for the last decade or so ...Too much arguing and bs in the collectors community these days unfortunately & it takes the fun out wen you see the guys in their 70s and 80s arguing like nine-year-olds ....I love to shoot I love to collect I love anything and everything Pyro related and Patriotic LOL....Like they say Alcohol Tobacco Firearms should be the name of a convenience store not a federal agency lol! Im in the Midwest myself not far from Montana not exactly close. Chicagoland Northwest Indiana area
I totally agree! In fact tye same way with public forums. I enjoy shooting the old stuff off as much or probably more than collecting. Quit really collecting about 8 years ago as that immature mentality you speak of seems rampant amongst not just some of the 70-80 year olds but also the newer generation. LOVE the class 4 thru early 5 stuff to shoot off but like yourself, end up lighting fuses sparingly like drinking a fine wine that's not so readily available anymore. I remember buying bricks early thunderbombs and other brands in the late 90s thru 2008 or so for the sole intention of shooting them off since crimped crackers were going extinct. They were cheap and plentiful then and never expected this insane draw of shelling out several hundred dollars for a dopey Thunderbomb brick. The collecting, "my stash is bigger than your stash" crowd has completely driven me out from buying anything DOT and earlier anymore since the inflated prices are so absurd. I've often thought that this stuff is meant to be enjoyed and not hung on a wall to stare at, with exception of the few rare items. But man, even those you can't take it to the grave with you, lol!
I'd like to see a video of your entire collection one day.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
That would be cool
Yesssssssss please
Workin on a small channel soon hopefully!
Yes
If any of you are experts on vintage fireworks, let me know if I SCORED or missed out on something here! Feel free to share as much information as you can!! :)
Can you review the Uncle Sam assortment. And other assortments from fireworks stores
Yay welcome back
Bro you went to a good candy shop
Those red white and blue rockets are pretty good! I would say those were a score (in my opinion) I got those once when I was about 10 years old and they were really fun
Where do you get your death shells
Wow! This store is straight out of 1998. It's surreal.
My favourites from the old days were Catherine wheels, Apollo rockets, 1-2-3 bangers. Air bombs. Jumping jacks and traffic lights.
So these guys just bought like 40 years worth of fireworks back in the 90s and have never had to restock?
Great find! I'd drive the 1500 miles right now if I could.
This is the only hobby I've ever heard of where the collectors tend to burn up their collections!
You found a gold mine. You also showed a lot of restraint. I could see you calling a bud to bring the tractor trailer to load up. Peace love & pyro. TomCat
Definitely saw some stuff I did when I was younger .
Thanks for the memories and hello from Montana !
Bro I’m ☠️☠️☠️ at that part when you said “My hearts beating faster” 😂 I could tell you were excited. Firework stores and gun stores do that to me too!
Cody just tell me why you have the best Channel
Could you please just for fun do a blog with only day time fireworks. I would like to see what variety there is 😬🤗
"You aint got no whosker do's? Whosker don'ts?" Joe dirt 😅
I still have some bottle rockets from Alabama from the 90s,they still work perfectly, freaks me out something 25 years old still works.
Snap.
^This has to be one of the best stores you been in ,i am 51 years old some of the names in there were epic, west lake Triad brand rockets, the old sunflowers, hoarse brand fireworks,flying geese, cluster bees, lol. There are a few of these gems left out there where people dont know these names ,its just fireworks to them. My favorite were the old hoarse brand "Air Travel bottle rockets"red tissue paper blue or red lettering with a bottle rocket coming out of a bottle and a young kid lighting it ,they were packaged perfectly moon travelers were from back in the day i even seen the factory there still made in and its the only firework made at this company, nice catch Cody love this stuff.
Especially the clustering bees, when it would explode HIGH in the air- it really looked like bees swarming all over the place. And don’t get me started with jumping jacks. ONE jumping jack from back in the day is like a ground bloom flower from today. I have 5 packs of the original jumping jacks. One I opened up to compare and the other 4 I will never open (unless I get my hands on more or a brick). I am a fireworks addict from the past and it’s sad to see how some are today.
Most of the stuff you bought looks like its from the 90's. A lot of this stuff used to come in the old kits I would buy when I was a kid.
Horse brand rockets, sunfliwers, rolls of black cats,, spinning balls, satellites thats all 90s gold!! I would buy so much in their!!!
Deff some Older product there. Id kill for a store like that. Some of that Old Black Cat stuff is gorgeous. Thats one thing about most Black Cat product. Their color compositions are the best!!
Antique and 90's ......Son you're making me feel old.
man this brings back memories. Thunderbombs and those black cat brands.
Also the novelty items I remember as a kid in the 80's and 90's. This
brings me back to driving up to PA with my dad when Phantom Breezewood
was a wood shack with only 2 aisles. Also long trips with the parents
and stopping at Diamond Jacks in Latta, SC. Best prices known to man!
Sunny an rainy... its my favorite weather....so damn peaceful....I just look at the sky an appreciate life
I love old fireworks. A blast fro the past .
It's worth buying for nostalgia alone. I saw a lot of my childhood in that store.
Came across your video I was going through my father's old stuff and came across tons of firecrackers from the seventies eighties
What an amazing place!, i wish we had stores like this in the UK, we used to get a lot of that stuff over here in the 1980's, the Wild Geese Rockets are definitely from that time, these were the first whistling rockets i ever saw, the little fountains you have don't spin, the bottom tubes are silver fountains that give a waterfall effect, shame you couldn't have bought the lot!
Watching this is taking me back 20 years ago.. nostalgic
I remember some of that stuff from my childhood in the 90's lol
I had a ton of air strikes years ago ! Being from Canada and a fire work lover someone picked me up a bunch of bottle rockets and firecrackers! Still would love to get my hands on some firecrackers!
Antique firework store 😂😂👍🇺🇸
I actually had the rocket blasters back in 2012! They shoot out of the tube really powerful!🧨🎊💥😎👍🏻🎉🔥✨🌟
I love the shopping videos so much, like asmr. This was the best one yet, so exciting
I have been waiting for this video and I am so excited
Another fireworks store, Another purchase...
Tbh the older ones are way more entertaining and cooler 😎
Gotta comment again.. this is probably My FAVORITE video of yours. S ok many amazing memories just seeing some of these again... That is a Gold Mine you found there!! OMFG Critical acclains... Big Package.. OMG!!!
The Smoke Blasters are now called Super Smoke. They look identical as those. Smoke trail with a salute. My guy at the Res here gets me a case every year. Loved the vid, makes me feel like a kid again.
I think you may have come across a ghost store. Check back there and it will be mysteriously gone. Like those urban legends of stopping by in a town and getting help out by some old man in a strange country store then you find out it that place doesn't exist any more. Some of those things from the 90's definitely hit my nostalgia button!
19:54 Man that's a blast from the past. I used to get those things when I was a kid. Love the nostalgia.
Awesome video CODY, old fireworks are the best!!
Dude some of those are 80's... from my childhood. I am 52 and collected from age 7.
Let’s get Cody to 200k!
Man that firework store was like going back in time lol, crazy old stuff
I would love to go there and buy a few classic fireworks and firecrackers. So nostalgic
Cody: oooooo a fireworks store!!!!!
His wife: not again cody...
A fireworks store with wooden shelves? That's a first ive ever seen lol.
8:50 those were really good 👍🏽 I remember those back in the early 90s
Holy Moly this is awesome!!! I love your channel. All the videos too🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
@18:50 Those are called *JUMBO SUNFLOWERS* not "Uniflowers".
Originally manufactured by Link Triad.
They are helicopters that go up and hover - producing a sunflower effect.
You have a box of the original sized ones there too @19:30. Very popular item in the late 70's.
The large ones came out in the early 80's.
Make sure you replace the rubber bands on those *"Twisting Tornado"* helicopters.
[They hold the wings in place]
The fuse should be facing down towards the ground when you light them.
@20:07 Yes, it does produce a small American flag on a little flag pole made out of paper that expands like a paper Chinese yo-yo. The little things on the side spin around like tiny pinwheels.
I don't recall much of a fountain effect, but it's a very unique pyro novelty just the same.
The West Lake rockets came out in 1984-85. Shot & sold lots of them back then.
Have fun burning that stuff. I'll be looking forward to the footage. 👍
Man, I miss your vintage pyro vids! Came across several poly bags of those Zenith buzz bombs a few years back but unfortunately not the green ones that seem to be ultra elusive.
@@b.thompson9176 Thank you for the kind words. My friends in Missouri had an entire barn loft full of old vintage class "C". I was in town for the 4th of July that year and we all went up there and picked out a bunch of crazy stuff to shoot on the 5th at a private barbecue. The Green Hornet helicopter you're referring to had a broken wing - which is why I was so surprised that it performed so well. I have lots of footage featuring vintage stuff that has yet to be uploaded. I just got kinda lazy and uninspired to publish any of it. *Stay Safe!*
These are awesome, great video as always Cody
This store is literally every irrational love I've ever had, all in one place
Talk about memory lane!!! Thanks it brought me back to my youth!
This is the kinda place that you ask for the good stuff at and they take you to the back room. 😂
So cool finding that store. Can't wait for the videos! A ture giver! Thanks Cody
You make the best videos about fire works.....good job 😎
I drive by that place a dozen times a year and I had no idea they sold fireworks. Crazy! Usually stop on the other side of the interstate if I stop there. Only a couple hours away from me.
Go back to this store....!!!!!! Pyro gold mine 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻wanne buy so mutch stuff that you show....greatings from the Netherlands
Nostalgic cody. I believe I still have a few packs of Green umbrella large rockets from the 80s i got at my cousins near Inwood wva. Good times.
I wish Washington state had fireworks year round. Those look amazing. I remember the old black cat dragon mortors. Classic fireworks in there
I worked 20 years or so for 2 summers running a tent in the south, the Thunder Clap rockets bring back memories, when setting up stand there where 2 cases of these rockets only they were labeled Thunder Crap rockets. I still have the case to this day, really good little rockets , somebody had a bad day or it was a joke but they were all labeled, Thunder Crap.
Those Thunder clap rockets are great ! You should have bought all of them . They whistle with a nice report enjoy !
I had those Horse Brand Clustering Bee’s rockets back in the day when I was a kid back in the late 80’s😄🐝🐝 - same exact wrapper!
Funny - I somehow talked my Mom into ordering them for me from a paper catalog from Fireworks Unlimited back before my home state of Wisconsin actually sold good stuff☺️
You should show us your antique firework collection
The best part of the vid is the intro!
Thank you Cody, loved the trip/tour through the pyro store and the Bad Lands! LOVE that part of the state! I really hope you and Miss Pyro had a great trip:)
Amazing & beautiful rocky hills view!
I recognized 1 of the articles, the pack of Wild Geese bottlerockets, dual action, goes up as a normal bottle rocket and with a whistling 2nd stage. I loved those back in the early 90's.
I cant explain the excitement of seeing a new codyb video lmao!
My favorite channel 🙃🙃
Great video cody
Red lantern "coconut groove" if you ever see them pick up a couple you won't be disappointed.
Gotta love all that wood in a fireworks warehouse XD 🔥
Always dropping great material let’s go ✊🏾🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣
Yay another post
It’s amazing what some firework stores have still. About 10 years ago I bought an entire case of flashing thunder Roman candles that were temple of heaven brand. The box was dated 1996. Owner of the store said he went through a shipping container that had been sitting for years. He said he also found cases of the old horse brand bottle
Rockets that had the green label but they were all gone. You never know what you will find in the mom and pop stores.
Thanks for the scenery while you were driving. Beautiful! I took it all in.
Could you show all you collection of old fireworks?
💙love your videos you inspire me to be a pyro
I remember some of those fireworks from a long time ago from being a kid. When Aerials were legal here in the 808
Very cool store...a little pricey certainly, but definetely cool to see those vintage products from the 90s. The Silvery fountains were a mainstay of the Safe and Sane (sigh) collection here in California in those days. I was hoping you'd run into a Quake: The Big One fountain. Those were the largest and priciest finale fountains available here in CA througout the 80's and early 90's. They cost $14.99 apiece lol. Anyone else remember those?
Beautiful views! Awesome video.
That store was super cool
I picked up a critical acclaim 1st edition a month ago from my favorite store! I could spend hours looking at all the oldies in that store! Awesome!
Man that store loaded really great store very nice products you picked up, nice video !!!! 👍❤️🧨
it don’t matter who is first if you’re a true fan
Ezequiel Castaneda True I guess???
Moonlacer 386 yea
Third!
I passed through there once coming from California in 2016. Sadly it was closed when I stopped by.
Nostalgic assortment there!
Wow nice to see some fireworks from 80's still around when i used to help my father. Here in ny bomb firecrackers where the only brand and best around no one wanted black cat.
As soon as you pulled the west lake rockets out i was holy cow memories the bottle rockets too.I remember opening up the cases and there where sometime cool advertising posters for bomb crackers peacock rockets had a huge 6 fold poster i wish i still had them great video.
Some fun times shooting stuff off in the queens ny as a kid back in 70's 80's before the crack downs in the early 90's.I think back crazy shooting 8" mortors in the park windows on the houses would be shaking good old days.
Love the fireworks but I also love how u put the scenery of how awesome nature can be in ur vid. Those mountains and cliffs r amazing
Wow, I thought Alaska had some outrages prices. 30 dollars for Silver Artillery, that’s just crazy haha. It was only 8 dollars here in Alaska for a box of those shells. Now I’m thinking we had some good prices this year for fireworks, and our stores are only open once a year here.
Ahh man! I fast forwarded to the end of the video hoping he was gonna light them off lol
Awesome!! can’t wait to see you shoot some of these off 🤩
I remember a lot of that stuff! By the way, the item at 18:50 is a "Sunflower" not a "Uni-flower". =) They were cool little planes.
I remember when re-loadable kits first came out in the mid-80's and there was a brand called "Holiday Shells". They made 2 sizes... 1.5" shells and 2.25" shells. The 2.25" were incredible (obviously). They were quickly banned because they were too close to Class B (1.3G) fireworks and believe me, they were! Would be cool to find some. I think I last bought some in 1988.
I lost three fingers because of old fireworks. The fuse burned super fast. You can risk getting a fuse with almost no powder in it, which burns fast, or the nitrates may have leached into the fuse wrapping making it smolder and burn unreliable.
Hey man your awesome. You are one of the best. Dont stop
The Westlake Rockets were really big in the '80s, and same with the black box artillery shells. A lot of that stuff looks like its from the 1985-1990 timeframe. I was buying a lot of these items in the mid-80's so they could be that old. Also, I think the store you are at might be the replacement for the one that was there in the early '80's which was a Black Cat store. Right across the highway from Wall Drug.
Yes the American flag does rise up from that one firework. Also I had a case of the moon travelers bottle rockets. I would pop one or two pack each year they lasted forever. Great made firework. Awesome video!!!
Smoke blasters are actually common by me surprisingly
What are those?
@@ernieu4 18:05
ernie untereiner they’re a daytime firework..they’re single shots that leave behind a smoke trail with a mini salute at the end
ernie untereiner pretty good tbh if you can find a good price
Thunder Bomb::: classic!
You look like the nerdy kid in school but also the kid that everybody loves to hand out with
