Shopping Antique & Vintage Bargains at Giant Country Flea Market!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2023
- We're looking for the real deal today--real vintage and true antiques, and at prices that are real deals! We're combing Greenville, Kentucky's four-day extravaganza flea market, where sellers from across three states have converged to bring us everything from high-end antiques to a crazy booth where everything new and old is just $1/each.
Perfect weather makes this the biggest event at Luke's Town & Country Flea Market in the last five years, and the dealers line up all the way to the front gate! We find things right away at rock bottom prices...nicer Fenton pieces for $5, a Geisha doll set for $3, a flapper pocket mirror for $1...these deals are the thing that makes quick sales, happy collectors and nice profits.
There's so much to see, and even when we pay a bit, the value for money is tremendous! Onyx horse bookends from a fancy Lexington estate for $20, an old-time fire bucket for $18 (you'll like the tip on how we got a few bucks off that piece), a working green 1950s typewriter for just $5...there's so much cool stuff priced to sell, we make a bunch of runs back to the van!
In the process, we run into old antiquing friends, see some incredible items we'd like to own and even get a car show out of the bargain! Memorial Day flea markets are great fun for buyers and sellers, and we're so happy to get to go--and take you with us.

13:23 You never know why someone purchases odd things. The Lucky Strike tins reminded me of when I was antique shopping with a friend. I had to explain to her why I had to purchase. 2 old sacks of Bull Durham tobacco. My Granddad born in 1899 raised 9 kids as a working cowboy on various ranches in Texas and New Mexico. He smoked Bull Durham and I have seen him roll a cigarette horseback. I learned how to roll them for him when I was a kid. I painted a picture of him that was taken for a magazine. He was bent over getting dinner at the campfire taken while they were on the range branding calves on the Bell Ranch in New Mexico. In the painting you can see the string and the yellow tab from the Bull Durham hanging out of his shirt pocket. I have the Bill Durham on a shelf along with my husband’s Kelly Spurs he had as a kid. hanging over the shelf is an old photo of my Granddad and uncle bent down sitting by corrals smoking and you guessed it … smoking Bull Durham. He was 86 when he passed.
What an interesting story! The painting sounds really realistic and cool. My grandmother Higby was born 12/31/1899, she only raised 4 as a nurse...a working cowboy would be pretty interesting to know!
By any chance did your grandfather cowboy on the Pitchfork, Waggoner or Beggs ranches in TX back in the day?? 🤔🤔 Love your story. Precious memories! ❤
@@puppy2haley maybe Pitchfork, it sounds familiar but not the others! Thanks for enjoying my story!
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you so much! It was fun growing up around it!
I think that doll was wearing my Easter dress from 1953.
😂
People are so happy to be able to enjoy life again. I love markets.
When didn't they.
I've always enjoyed life.
Especially outdoors.

Lol. "That little kid needs to stop smoking!"
I think my Grampa started smoking at 10! I'm totally picturing a chain smoking 5 year old in that chair!
Hi, besides admiring your knowledge of so many things, I love that you take us through the USA to places that we have never been to. (some of us) Also, I am sorry about your Mom’s passing and thank you for honoring her with so many kind words about her and her home. What are you planning to do about all her treasures? I ask because this is so close to your heart ❤ Thanks
Oh thank you for that! Family took done of mom’s stuff, I kept a little and the rest will go out to sell to be with new collectors!
@@TheAntiqueNomad that’s great, spread the love 💕
I love it: "Stuff that fell off a truck!" Another great video George. Thank you!
George I found a Eisenberg Sterling rhinestones pin for 4 dollars today, I am so stoked
My (late) Dad would have loved that place!! He loved his antiques!!!!
Just a memory inspired by the bee linens when you said "printed on it" reminded me of a fabric pen in the mid 50's to early 60's that my mom purchased to do embroidery instead of thread.. it was all the rage and not cheap. It was a rare treat for my mother to afford. It was so exciting as a little kid. An old thought😂❤
Those old thoughts are fun! Yes, fabric pens were a nice way around it.
I George, I watch all the time you’ve taught me so much TY
It really makes me happy that you feel this way and that I can help somehow!
That comment about smoking chair was HILARIOUS!
Enjoy hearing you converse with the sellers. People are friendly. 🌸
I liked the car show at this one as well. I love the old cars. Thanks for taking me along with you and for sharing your knowledge of the antique world as well. You have a great day
I love how the goods are displayed in the open under the sky. A solid flea market tour!🎉❤
Love a good flea market! Saw a few goodies at that dollar table now I want to go shopping lol
Me too!!
I'm so glad those book ends were a good price 🎉
HI GEORGE! GREAT SWAP MEET! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! I WAS SO SURPRISED TO SEE THE GEISHA GIRL WITH WIGS! AS I HAD PURCHASED THAT EXACT DOLL, FOR MY SISTER WHO HAD VISITED JAPAN, & I FOUND AT ANGEL VIEW THRIFT STORE! KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK! I LEARN SO MUCH WHEN WATCHING YOU! GOD BLESS YOU!👍❤️🇺🇲🍔
Oh fun! I'm glad you saw something you recognized. I'm appreciative of your enthusiasm for what we're doing!
Hi George & Xeno. Thanks for another great shopping video.
I loved riding in those old BIG cars! So comfortable. Like floating. But wow the gas prices now. Wouldn't get very far. What a difference in gas prices then and now!
I love the dog caddy.
I notice u always have a positive thing to say. Very refreshing and even heart warming .
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you filming for us and not whatnot. 😀
Agreed! It's more fun and I have other places to sell
This flea market is nice. The big horse book ends are a great score. Hope you found tons of great stuff. Happy happy anoy anoy.❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤
Thank you for highlighting my comment.
Love the flea market videos I learn so much fun u always fun
I do! I'm glad you do too
So satisfying....you're the very best accompanying antique gigolo. XO, Di
Thank you George, we like going along to see what's up at the event and listening in on your friendly conversations.
People selling things that "fell off the truck!" Hilarious!
I’m glad you saved some things off the ocean of $1 items! 😮😊
Great show.
Gahhhhh!!!!! Imagine setting up that one table !!!! The one the lady recommended u !
All in all what a fun sale. Cool old stuff! 😊
Beautiful Fostoria glasses
I really should've asked, I bet they wanted nothing for them
George thank you so much for the picture I love watching that you show us everything and what its words where it's from how they fixed it how you can fix it! !!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😅
Those Ball rubber rings are handy for putting a finishing touch on old jars to sell!
Funny enough, I bought some colorful African beads from a guy selling junk on the side of the street in the early mid 90’s and started making jewelry for a short time.
George, you're making me late to do ny chores again. I've been trying to cut down on my screen time but you're still at the top of my list.
As always yours in admiration and love,
Sister Shirley
Oh thank you Sister!
I always laughed with Minnie Pearl !! She was great fun
Oh my gosh, the dollar tables are packed w stuff!! What a fun hunt.
Hi George ❤Great sale. So many things I would have bought too 😊 Love the Doggy
My eye is always drawn to square shape plates, so it always makes me smile when you look at them in your videos. Lots of great stuff at this flea market!
I really like square dishes too!
Thanks for the experience.
This is by far 1 of my favorite flea markets in Kentucky. I just moved from Clifty/Elkton, KY area several months ago due to my husbands passing. I’m now back in Texas with my daughter & my immediate family. Miss the country living but so enjoyed my time shopping in Greenville. Great video‼️
Love the flea market! Thank you for taking us with you-lots of fun stuff.
So much fun old stuff--and lovely primitives!
Thanks for taking me to the Flea Market with you. I love to see what’s for sale. Interesting finds. I’m going to look for a small piece advertising Falstaff beer (my dads drink and our dogs name). See you on our next trip. Jan
Great video. It's fun to go shopping with you, and learn as you go. Living in an urban area you have to travel a fair distance
Kentucky Derby glasses have been hard to find the past couple years and customers really wanted them for their Derby Parties this spring!
Especially older ones
Yes! I’ve found carrying lots of 5’s and 1’s promotes goodwill at garage sales. Most Chase banks in Portland dispense 5’s and some 1’s, which is very handy.
Yes! That's helpful
I love watching your videos here in England 🇬🇧
Jolly good! I'm so excited that things we find here are of interest to you there. We do certainly find and understand a lot of nice things from England and the UK here as well!
What fun, thanks for the video ❤🎉
Thank you for another awesome video! I feel like I could just fall in line beside you and meander along as you go around, teaching me something new about everything we see!! You would have made a fantastic high school teacher!! I loved that guitar!❤
Oh thank you! THe guitar was neat
I would have spent 3 hrs at the dollar tables! That never happens in my part of California unless it's some misfit plastic forks with 2 tines. I sa $50 worth just following your camera that would have come home with me. Thanks for talking us along and sharing your expertise, it's appreciated.
I'm so glad you had fun! I don't see those kind of deals in CA, no.
I love those horse head bookends!
$20 for the pair???!!!!???!!! Woooooooow👏👏👏👏👏👏
I know, right?
So many unique items! Love flea markets!
Some of those littles were cool. I could poke around in those things for hrs 😂
Thank you for sharing this video today. Love the dollar tables. Never know what you might find. Peace hope and love
Jeffery of Real Nifty Vintage is in Florida now. He’s gone to Italy with Jesse and Laura Caldwell they take a group and have a great time.
Great video, George, thank you!
Dear George; Your shows are wonderful and you make them informative yet fun. I wondered if you ever attend Brimfield? It is quite amazing .
I’m long overdue and looking forward to going!
@@TheAntiqueNomad It's been a while for me too. Since it's 3 times a year it gives people choices weather wise . Thank you for answering my question it was a lovely suprise.
I had the exact same bookends! Sold them at my last pop up market!
Nice! I like doing popup markets
FYI, Jeffrey of real nifty vintage now lives in Ocala florida!
Yes he hasn’t lived in Granite City since childhood I believe
Great buys!
A great evening to you, George! I'd like to have an old complete set of Tinker Toys, still in the original box. I would've loaded up on the old hardware, especially the porcelain wheels. That crystal candelabra was a beauty. I liked those old decoys. Fantastic buy on the old fire bucket! I'd have had a bag full of those doilies. I use those a lot. There was a toy aeroplane there that caught my eye. Couldn't tell if it was wood or not, though. If it was plastic, I wouldn't be interested in it. That was, for sure, a good flea market to browse...and buy. There were several things I would've stopped to give a look. Thanks for the take-along!
Hello there! I'm finally catching up with you. I was so tempted to get hardware but I'm telling myself I don't need the projects that would imply are coming. I'm so excited about the fire bucket, although funnily enough the green typewriter was the most valuable pickup. I think that airplane was wood, but it was not cheap!
@@TheAntiqueNomad The old wood toy aeroplanes usually are a bit expensive, but I do like them...almost as much as the old pond boats.
Hey Folks, hit the thumbs-up 👍 for George!
Of course I missed this..LOL
Aww I'm sorry!
Loving your channel ❤
My Mom would want me to look for old mags to buy , she loves to thumb through them. ❤
Wish you could share some info on the clear glass domed butter dish seen at the 12:08 mark, in the background of the green bowl! My sister gave me one & I’d love to learn more about it ❤ your channel ❤
That particular one is Tiara by Indiana Glass in the 1970s, based on 1930s depression glass patterns
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank you so much! I have a set of green Tiara dishes, also from my Mother. I truly appreciate your sharing the wealth of knowledge you have so generously. I often picture you dressed in a black tuxedo, giving lectures at Sotheby’s. Would love to see you do tour of your home someday!❤️
Boston Terrier is the breed on that, rather than a Boxer.
Thank you, yes, I keep getting that mixed up and I don't know why, my niece has a Boston Terrier!
It has been fun learning about dogs over many years. That extended to collectibles over these many years as well.
I have a Green River Whiskey framed piece appx 2' x 3' that I bought at an auction years ago. Mine has everything in reverse or mirror image. I took it to the Antiques Road Show and the experts could not tell me what it was or why it was mirror image.
I’m not sure either but it sounds like it might be a contact negative for printing purposes? I have a large inking stone that shows a 1930s beer ad in reverse
@@TheAntiqueNomad I asked the Road Show "experts" if it was a done for printing, but they discounted that. It was funny, when they first looked at it they kind of blew it off as a just a Green River Whiskey ad, then they started really looking at it and called over another "expert" who was also stumped. It may well be a contact negative.. It's really the only thing that makes sense to me. But I'm certainly not an expert
I keep missing the live chat 😢
I'm sorry!
Hey George! @27:30 is that a set of Rada cutlery under the swat game?
I think it is
I Pais too much atrwnrion to the chat, totally fun. I need to rewarch.
I understand, it's active!
Enjoyed your video. I collect presidential campaign buttons. Yes they were some that were reproduction but that was a good price on the others for 1 dollar.
I have a question do you know anything about those horse bookends. I have ones that are about half size that came out of my grandfather's Sears Cottage. They mean the world to me they're one of the only things I have from my grandfather I remember him fondly
I saw a Planters Peanuts jar is it old or new? Graphics looked like it had newer paint
❤
Are you coming to Michigan again this summer?
I hope to in early fall
Do you still have the pocket mirror? If so I'd like to buy it
Scary doll! She definitely did the crime!
I still can’t move my membership up a level. I’m daft.
I'm sorry to hear that you are still having trouble with that! If you go to my channel page, and then to the membership tab, on a computer browser or a browser on a tablet or smartphone, you should see "upgrade" at the top right above the latest post. This is what I see when I go to someone's page (membership tab) with a membership I have joined. Email me if you are still having trouble after trying this.
I have a pottery piece and haven't been able to find any like or close royal saxon has an old fisherman on it.?????
I think they were in Ohio around 1920
Thank you I will continue to research 😊
Boring anchor hocking 😂😂😂
The swastika on those containers is not Nazi it does not point the right direction. Native American or Asian PS all the Mission buildings had to have that symbol or the Native Americans would not go in them I've been in them all over California with that symbol
I do mot like Whatnot when buying. Just don't! 😮
I understand it’s less fun to me
12:21 The Rae Dunn, iv'e been watching you for years . never seen you hold up a R D piece. I have tons of it , can't get rid of.
There’s a lot more of it than buyers in many lines but a few are really valuable. Often what happens with newer collectibles
