Shockingly Thrifty Antiques & Vintage at Community Garage Sales!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2023
- We've waited all year for this weekend of antique and vintage hunting at two annual community wide sales in Florida! Anything could find its way to these, and there's much more than just pretty porcelain and sparkly glass to consider.
Beyond the vintage kitchen and decor buys-a Pyrex Tulip bowl for $5, Neil the Frog canisters for $10, Holt Howard candle climbers for $1-we find some things that are really fun but "just not right"! Naughty novelties, bawdy bar songs, and a last-minute find on wardrobe challenged head vases (a $75 value for just $2!) make this an excursion of unseemly delights.
Community sales give the chance for thrift store prices on fresh finds from people's attics and garages, and we're lucky to have two good ones to share here. Add in an impromptu garage sale that no one knows about, and we're raking in the goodies, at prices that make it worth digging through every box!

The lyrics in "Hair" are outstanding. I can't imagine anyone would see that show and not pay attention to the lyrics!
I do like a lot of the libretto and it was definitely ahead of its time...but most people under a certain age only know Hair for the nudity...
@@TheAntiqueNomad I was 10 when it was a hit. When it came to Toronto my aunt took me to see it. I wasn't listening to lyrics when one male performer jumped onto the arms of my seat, and stood over me. He was wearing a loin cloth and everything was visible. My aunt was ready to tackle him. 😂😂
I’m at the Theatre several times a month, saw Hamilton, three times. Thrifting albums from Theatre productions are great finds!
Good evening everyone.Let's all give George a thumbs up. 👍👍🦩🌴🌞
Thank you so much! It really does help the channel.
Dear George , The Redd Foxx album brought back memories. My mother in law caught my husband and I listening to her album and chewed us out . We were adults with a child and she thought we were too young, I think she was embarrassed . That was one of the albums considered " blue" . The actress who played Aunt Ester Luella Parsons on the Redd Foxx show had albums to that were very blue. She did a skit called Pipe Laying Dan that was more than P.G. Those comedians played the Chicken Circuit back in the day. I love collecting them and they are still raw comedy , even today . 😂
I love how they did the blue eyeshadow on the old dolls. So delicate.
I love that you give us history and price George. Plus your patience and kindness. I’m sure you have faults but I don’t know what they are. Probably your mother could tell me. LOL that’s a joke George. You work hard for the money my friend. You deserve it.
This is my favorite format. Walking me through a real life flea market, garage sale or thrift store. I recently started thrifting and I’m kind of addicted. As a new by I love everything and have to get more discerning. Thank you for all the education! ❤️
My pleasure, I like it when there's a good one to show to you!
I saw a two toned Barracuda 20 years ago! I told my husband I found my dream car. He laughed… Yes, it’s everybody’s dream car.
I always liked them, a friend of mine is restoring a 1966 now!
For some reason poodle I don't imagine you in a muscle car.
@@Brabronacus 😂 My husband built a few over his life time. He offered me a Nova or a 64 1/2 Mustang. I chose the Mustang. What I really wanted was his Jaguar XJ6 after he put a Chevy engine in it !!
@@elderlypoodle9181 I bought my brother a used Chevy Chevelle SS to use to commute to college. I think he enjoyed the car more than his classes. It was a great car to ride.
@@Brabronacus WOW!! That’s great. Your a wonderful sister.
I found all 4 Neil the frog canisters along with the creamer, covered sugar, napkin holder and two of the large spice shakers at a church thrift store. The whole set was priced at $25 and I couldn't get them in my cart fast enough! When I went to check out they told me housewares were half off! I really only wanted the canisters for myself so I sold the other pieces for $45 in about a week. Basically got paid to have my childhood dream kitchen items 🤣
How fun! I love shopping that way and getting to keep my favorites
I'm done with RAIN🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️Already !!!
George, Carl is a great sale-ing partner. You bought some good stuff. I'm always amazed at your restraint. I wish I had that kind of will power.
XO 🐢 Lady
Right!? I spend way to much at garage sales 😅
He really is fun to have come along to sales! I only didn't buy more because I have so much merchandise coming to me lately
George-Fans, lets support him by emailing his video to a friends. I bet they would like him too. 😊
Those kewpie piano dolls were gorgeous.
I want the antique decorative china to come back in style! I've always loved decorating with old plates inside and out in the garden.
Hi George & Carl! That was some good pickins. At that first yard sale, i was like, "People! Personal space, please!" Seriously, it sounded like those people were perched on your shoulder, George. I finally got the fiestaware i picked up at GW into my new booth. As the GW worker was starting to put it onto the shelf, i just asked him to load it into my cart, instead. They had it marked cheap, too! Got some on two diff trips.
Yes, they were really hot for stuff and it was tight at that sale! I'm excited for you to find Fiesta, I just got a few old pieces too for the first time in ages
Thanks for taking us along!
I'd have investigated the blue and orange vases at about the 13:00 mark. Chinese maybe, but the colors were great. Those clear glass candlesticks are great for photographing jewelry. The candle cups are good for holding rings upright, or earrings. Some of them have flat spots for bangles. They're vintage and as clear glass don't get in the way of what someone is supposed to look at. They also usually go for cheap these days.
Great colors, but I just saw so much vintage glass that I decided to let the newer stuff go. I do like the idea on how to use the candle cups!
Great shopping day!
I appreciate you sharing your vast wealth of knowledge with us, I like when you do a re-cap at the end showing some of the items that you purchased and the prices paid.
Thank you, I do intend to do more haul videos soon
Mmm 73 barracuda only my absolute dream car!
Carl found a great treasure. 🤔🥴😏🤭😀😍🙋♀️
Sure did!
That plastic bird that you said “it gets yellow, I don’t know why?” I would guess that little bird has been in a smokers home. The tar from cigarettes or a pipe will turn plastic yellow.
I saw the Rock Opera Hair at the Aquarius theater in Southern California in 1971 or 72! I still have my program. I wonder if it is worth anything? I saw “Tommy” also at the same theater it was my favorite! I can still see it in my mind when I hear Pinball Wizard! I was a 70s flower child lol!
Oh I'm sure it is, Hair has definitely kept its place in the pantheon of musicals
OMG...that little Samsonite travel case at 17:45...we had it in red for many years. So fun! Loving your adventures as always, George.
There sure were lots of good deals and cool things !!!
So much going on in the world of TH-cam shows tonight! ❤😂
I was at a school event for my grandson! I hated that I missed the live chat! But alas grandsons come first!
You're right! We'll get to chat again but supporting the grandkids is a must
Loved the frog ,and the tulip dish,
Loved the large collie figurine!!!
No problem, I did a 👍thumbs up. I like clowns. I love Lenox pieces. I think in the future it will come back but if not, I like it. I only buy it if I get it cheap.
I like Lenox too! I agree, if it's priced low enough you can still have fun collecting it and make money reselling it
I am curious about the nickname era. All my great aunts and uncles had them; Fo-Fo, Go-Go, Twatty, Kitty, Dickie, and my favorite, Aunt Dolly.
Hello from Sweden. Really enjoyed looking at this video. Always interesting to watch what things you can find in other countries and what you are looking for! The glass rabbit is absolutely from Sweden. But the company was called FM not EM. Spelled out it's Färe Marcolin Konstglas (art glass). Founded by the two brothers Josef and Benito Marcolin who came to Sweden in the 1950's from Murano Italy, and later on started this art glass company. :-)
Ironic i saw the hussy bell doll today! Lol
Hi y’all. Seems like you are having a great time🎉🎉
I just finished the replay. I'm sad to hear you won't be at Springfield. We will miss you. It probably means your vehicle will not be in need of repair for a while, though. 😉
Lol yes, Leroy Brown (the baddest van in the whole d--- town) is glad to have a break!
You sure were elbow to elbow. Nice buys
Thanks George❤
Awesome video! That first sale was a little overwhelming there was so much awesome stuff and they were motivated to sell. You'll def need to go back again 😊
I suspect they'll have follow up sales
I had a a Aqua one. Front interior was funny . The big hump.
Cool boots, George
That's so funny ... I bought my 1967: Barracuda fastback for 400$ ... 1977... It was my first car ... It was the bestest ever huge and fun and solid metal lol ... My parents had a 1957 Rambler Nash about the same time ... That car was great for the drive in theater ... They were 2 great cars ... We had a mini fiat that was old when we got it lol ., When we got a VW BUG we hit it big-time lol
Thanks!! 💞✌
Get video George, you alway do well when you pick with Carl. Thx💕
@32:25 I can't say 100%, but there was yellowing like that all over my grandparent's apartment when we cleaned it out... tobacco stain. Just as it stains dentures. We did get it off a few things by using denture cleaner and soaking them. The seagull might be awkward to dip in a bucket. Maybe a smaller one if you have one you couldn't sell. That generation never went for the filters. 😔
It's a good idea though!
Had to leave but Im back 😊
Great video George! Loved the yellow Barracuda! Thanks for sharing!
That'd be a hot car to drive in SoCal
I love those Rajastan elephants - I have one - and one horse. Love to find a giraffe and a bull. I think they did llamas too. My horse came from a haunted house pick.
I wish we'd kept our zebra!
@@TheAntiqueNomad They have a zebra one? Now I have a new bucket list. As for condition, I have never seen one in immaculate condition. I think all the threads are silk and very delicate and subject to moths and such. The two I have are slightly damaged. But they are so beautiful. I found the horse first - in a haunted hoarder house. Then a month or so later I found the elephant at a Savers in a donated elephant collection. Crazy Lamp Lady has a huge bull. I just think they are so Boho looking - which is my style completely. I call it Eclectic Boho. I am a believer that you can never say "it doesn't fit my decor" - anything can fit if you love it as long as you aren't sticking to a certain style. I am NOT a fan of "living room or bedroom sets" - and the people I design for appreciate that. A room should be a conversation piece - wherever you look. I am looking for more of those Rajastans.
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Thanks!
Oh wow, thank you so much! We really appreciate all the support, it helps us do the travel it takes to bring you a lot of fun and interesting antiques and vintage to see
Love the video George alot of great stuff
Love your videos, I learn something new every time.
I picked up an old Avon bottle at the Goodwill yesterday. It must have spilled on me because I wreaked of the cologne for the rest of the day.
I was yelling pick up the Lenox Liberty dinnerware! lol That was my wedding pattern 20 years ago and I only got 6 place settings. They were discontinued and not easy to find in the wild.
It's true, Lenox patterns can sell and some are obscure, it's just so much shipping and storage that I tend to hold out for certain patterns and full sets or serving pieces. I'm sorry I didn't get them for you!
Hi George!
My dad was Bill Sydenstricker’s first cousin.
I am binge watching all your videos, you are such a Blessing. I have bought stuff for 13 years without selling anything. I am a little overwhelmed trying to figure out what prices to ask. If you are ever in central Arkansas I would love to know it 🙏🏻🙋♀️👍
I hope to get back down there later in the year
Made a quick chk in an antique store yest to see if they got a price on the Codd bottle I wanted. Got it for 7 dol. Had to remove the fish head and tail from it but glad to gotten it !
Thanks, I enjoy showing these little places that people might not otherwise discover!
My avatar seen you looking at Kewpies! Hi George!
Hello. That moose creamer you picked up and quickly set down, if the eyes are sold black it should be marked Czecsolvoicia. (Generally if the eye are black and white it is Austria and worth a little less) If none of the antlers are in tack they run $30 to $35.
Good evening, George! I liked that "Cherry and Lattice" beverage set. It was Northwood. Mosser has the molds for that now. The crazing on the cattails fridge pitcher would be a plus for me. Was that a pond boat on the grass? I liked that Bavarian game fowl plate. That would've come home with me and gone on a wall. Spotted another pond boat, with red and white striped sail, on the table. There were quite a few things that interested me at those sales. Thanks for the take-along!
Mosser got those molds? I liked that set as a Northwood design, thank you for the scholarship! I like the cattails even with crazing sometimes too. I thought this was a better than average shopping excursion, glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yeah, Mosser has the old Northwood "Cherry and Lattice" molds. I actually have a set, by Mosser, in the pattern. Mosser also has the "Cherry and Cable" molds. I have a set of that, by Mosser, too. I'm really quite appreciative of Mosser Glass. They keep the old patterns "alive", and they take care their pieces can't be confused with the originals. Their pieces are extremely well-made, too.
Hi George it's Susanlee Everett Washington, are you making your way home yet?
Looks like July before I get to western Washington, I'll be in Spokane to do an estate sale next week
❤❤❤
Hi G, really enjoyed this video. I did a shout out to you on my last video. I know you don’t need my help but I sure appreciated yours. Thanks
Aww thank you! It all helps and I love that we can help each other.
Wonderful
Good weekend. Bought a huge framed painting by a listed artist for 50 bucks. Checked auction records on similar paintings by the artist - 2 - 3 thousand. Ever heard of Caroline Burnett? She painted pctures of Paris - died in 1950. I am in love with this painting - just donno yet where it will go. It is huge.
That's right! I've had a Burnett piece. That's a terrific buy!
@@TheAntiqueNomad They are so gorgeous! I did a lot of research before I bought. The signature is correct. The brushwork is correct. The impressionist figures are correct. The frame is immaculate and it is huge. I didn't measure but at least 24 by 20. The man said he bought it at a flea market - fell in love with it but has no place to hang it. I will find one because she is staying with me forever. I adore it.
Alex from curiosity Inc sold 4 Beanie baby’s for $2700. at an auction in Edmonton Alberta so don’t rule out all beanies .
Wait! You were in a band? Do tell!! When? What kind of music? Did you sing, play an instrument or both? ❤️
Mid-90s, Seattle-Tacoma, all the great bands had been lured away by fame so there was a void. I played bass in one band and then sang in another, we did the Central Tavern once and that's my claim to fame! I also was doing an antique show the same weekend, so I got about 12 hours sleep in 3 days and decided I wanted to just do antiques instead
MOPAR!
👍👍👍👍👍
😎👍
Hi George! Do you ever buy mid century era glassware and such? Like swung glass? Do you ever come across Herman Miller items? Like furniture? What about the fiberglass Eames chairs? Just curious..?!?! Thanks! Happy Thrifting!!
I’ve had a Neil the frog planter in my booth forever, and I don’t know why it hasn’t sold. Maybe not a good Nashville item🤷♀️
I figure it's not everyone's nostalgia, depends how and where you sell...plus they are really flimsy and have to be used with caution!
❤🧡💛💚
You didn’t go for the boop mugs…? 🤓 … I sell them quite Well if they are the vintage english ones.
Well they do sell, but those were a ceramics class version
George, where do those oval shaped aluminum measuring spoons come from ? My Mother & Grandmothers had those. Wondered if they came from a store, GreenStamps or something boxtops where saved for. I'm 62, an they where before me.
I assumed they were just commonplace at the local grocer's but I'm not positive
Some of that stuff, not my taste, but I'm collecting for me not to sell. I have to remember that. I need to go through my mom's stuff. I know there are mcm items. But hard for me to sell her stuff, since she is not alive. When I retire I want to work at an antique store in Holly MI maybe. I've been around antiques with my mom since I was 7 in the 60s.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Please do more videos with Carl.
Ha ha - it was Ted Williams' head - and I think his daughters got custody of it and had it buried with hs body. Mickey Mantle is buried in a beautiful crypt in Dallas - I am friends with his son.
Oh I'm so sorry! Yes, it was Ted Williams, my mistake. I'm glad you're not friends with Ted Williams son!
@@TheAntiqueNomad That made me giggle actually. Mickey's son David did a voice in an animated movie I worked on and we actually got to spend time together at the red carpet in NYC, but I had known him for years online. Very nice man - looks like his dad. The story of Ted's head is pretty horrific. First of all, he was supposed to be frozen whole. The head was cut off in error. There is a crack in the head and there was a tuna can that was used as a pedestal frozen to it and they used a hammer to knock it off, missed and hit the head straight on. Parts flew across the room. His daughter gave up trying to get it back - I just looked that up. Horrific story but one that I actually used in a bizarro short story once which I sold to some anthology for a nice chunk of change. Seriously sometimes you cannot make stuff up.
I picked up a older makeup case similar to one you showed at 17:30. It's visually clean but smells like foundation or some other product was left open in it for an extended period of time. Any tips how to remove the odor?
I saw you pick up the faux boat propeller. How often do you sell real ones? I'm assuming the material matters? (Like brass).
Brass is best, I sell them about once a year
Possibly nicotine on the seagull
Clothing Malfunction! 🤭☺️
Oops! “Inappopriate” is a misspelling. It’s missing an ‘R’: inappRopriate. It’s a blessing and a curse to notice!
Oh thank you! I'm surprised that didn't autocorrect or that I didn't catch it. Revision coming!
@@TheAntiqueNomad You’re so welcome!
Have you always been an asshole ?
@@TheAntiqueNomad LOL. Oh my, oh my, with all that you have on your plate.

Does anyone actually use perfume bottles? Perfume today comes in beautiful bottles that are unique to the brand of perfume. So there is really no reason to transfer it to another bottle. I have my mother's collection but they just sit on a shelf empty.
I know a few people who decant them, particularly if they have custom made fragrances...but mostly they are just objects-d'-art now
I do great with Yearbooks. 5:00 Usually pick them up for $3.00 and sell them for $29.99 to $39.99 (ships Media Mail $5.00 thus "free shipping" is not outta the question) . I charge higher if they are NOT SIGNED. Sadly , the older ones from the 1940s and 1950s do not sell as well as the 1970s and 1980s now . Even creeping into the early 1990s . If you have a chance: LOOK at a contemporary High School Yearbook; they look HORRIBLE , poorly laid out , all in color , and lousy portrait photos. And the photos are too small . One thing that they do that is interesting is, they now dedicate 5 or 10 pages to "currently going on this year" in news and pop culture -- oh the poor kids of the past 3 years -- your poor lives in the shadow of a train wreck . 😔
👍👍👍
