Like the molcajete, my mom had one just like that. She used it to make salsa and aguacate (avocado, way back when it wasnt so popular). Loved this antique store, such a great variety of items! Thanks for sharing!!
That lamp dates from around 1952 or before I still have a pair of them in my living room. I never thought I would see another one. We moved into this house in 1952 when I was three months old and the lamps were always on the end tables. The ones we have are three way lamps.
The lady in fancy dress is in the guise of Queen Elizabeth I of England or Queen Mary of Scotland. As you know, costume balls were very popular with European and British aristocracy and the American upper class during the 19th through early 20th centuries. The most famous of these were balls given by the Duchess of Devonshire in London, one in St. Petersburg attended by Czar Nicholas II and Czarina Alexandra and another thrown by Alva Vanderbilt in New York. They received widespread coverage in the popular press and images of attendees were sold as carte de visite and cabinet photographs
I wondered, it did seem like she was attempting Elizabethan styling but I kept thinking she might have been a royal from another European state...she didn't match them from what I could tell though
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, she was not in court dress. Instead, her garb is a Victorian rendition of the Tudor era. I think the non plus ultra of extraordinary court dress was exemplified by Queen Alexandra of Great Britain. For men, Czar Nicolas II of Russia or his cousin, George V of Great Britain. Those costume balls are well documented. Some outfits were unsettling. I believe one young woman at the Vanderbilt ball wore a taxidermy cat on her head (poor kitty). Yikes!!!
That's true, I sell the tongs often. My forebears often broke it apart before they poured it in to their fridge, it lasted less long but it was cheap and they liked it in their lemonade
Hi George, we really enjoy your videos. Can I offer you a suggestion ? If the budget allows, the addition of an external lapel mic, in my opinion , would go a long way toward improving the audio portion of your videos. I have noticed the volume levels go up and down in relation to how close you are to the cameras' built in mic. And I think a lapel mic of medium quality could help to solve that issue.
Hi Gary! Thank you so much, I agree with you the microphone issue has been maddening. We think we may have isolated the problem, we had the same issue with three different kinds of mics and believe it may be an attachment between them and the camera to blame. We are also looking into another type of lapel mic
Hey George! I'm a day late on this one. A lot going on here, and yesterday was a full day. That CDM coffee tin caught my attention. It would've very likely have come home with me. I do like CDM coffee, and every time I'm in New Orleans, I go to Cafe Du Monde, for the Cafe au Lait and beignets. That stove is something I've always wanted to make the focus of an antique-based kitchen. The were very well-built, too. That spider in lucite was interesting! I bet you had a lot of "Ewww...I don't like spiders!" in the chat, though - just no appreciation for the "finer things"🤣🤣🤣 Those plates for printing bags were really interesting. Those would make nice pieces to hang. I liked the Coca~Cola one and the Acorn one. Really nice Carnival Glass there...not a water set in sight, though😉😏 That butcher block was really a nice one...but I bet a back-breaker to move! That White Frost fridge would be really fun to have! They make great storage for dry goods - cereal, rice, etc.. Madeline's is a really nice antique mall! That clock you were standing next to, at the end, looked super-nice!!! Thanks for the take-along!!!!!
I hope things are lightening up for you a little! I'm not a coffee drinker and thus missed out on the New Orleans connection, very interesting! I got SO many "ewws" for the spider, lol! I considered the Acorn one as well...I could have the White Frost and the stove in an old kitchen, for as little as I cook they'd last forever. You'll see a surprise in the next video...
Concerning the Coca Cola shoulder pads: This look was created by Gilbert Adrian, costume designer for MGM, for Joan Crawford. The broad-shoulder look, you refer to as, "Looking like a football player," was all the rage in the late 1930's into the 1940's. Congrats on your CLEAN TOES, peaking out of the flip-flops in the printing plate portion of the presentation. Difficult/impossible to accomplish at outdoor markets/shows.
Interesting that you mention Gilbert Adrian! Another viewer credited Elsa Schiaparelli, I suppose she introduced them to the mass market. I don't typically wear open toed shoes outdoors, I forget they can be visible in videos so good thing!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm sure K Clark is correct but the look became synonymous with Joan Crawford after Gilbert Adrian designed a wardrobe for her for an MGM production.
Yes, I suppose it was appropriate for the 1980s when women were starting to work up the corporate ladder. It seemed like it got overdone though, I mean, an official Coca-Cola version??
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
I'm really pleased you're enjoying this older videos! I think there's still a lot of fun info in them
George is adorable💜
Aww gee thanks!

I'm always learning something new with you, love the ducks
George, us usual you’re a walking computer. I liked the spider in lucite.
Oh good! I have a lot of women go "Eewww" at the sight of such, so I appreciate your taste :)
That lamp dates from around 1952 or before I still have a pair of them in my living room. I never thought I would see another one. We moved into this house in 1952 when I was three months old and the lamps were always on the end tables. The ones we have are three way lamps.
Neat! It's so nice to get details like that from people who remember these things
I’m so happy to be part of the 2 billion subs! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you too! I can't wait for 2 billion and one
Thank you again for all your great info.
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am enjoying your videos very much!
I'm so glad! Enjoy them and I hope you get a lot out of watching

Those reverse printed Masonite stamps are so cool. I love them. How unique!
Me too! I could've bought more
The Santa blow mold was huge!
Size matters where Santa is concerned!
I always learn something new! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm glad, I keep trying to find new things to show!
Tall people like me would have a hard time using a butcher block in a kitchen. Love them--maybe a lamp table in an eclectic setting?
You and me both! I've seen people build raised platforms with understorage and use them as islands though
Love the Coke shoulder pads. How funny!
With old ice makers the ice was delivered by horse & buggy ice was in big chunks
That's true, I sell the tongs often. My forebears often broke it apart before they poured it in to their fridge, it lasted less long but it was cheap and they liked it in their lemonade
As always, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of all things old. If I retain 1% of what you shared, I'll know WAY more than I did before. :)
Great video. Can’t wait for part two.👍👍
Coming soon! See you Wednesday
I love how you give perspective like the year of zip codes to help determine age....great info!!!!... JoAnn here
I try to teach clues so you can identify things correctly in the field!
Good information I enjoy watching various antique videos.
I like various antiques.
Please look forward to many useful videos in the future.
Thank you! Will do my best to make them informative!
Great video! Thank you ❣
Thanks so much!
Fun stuff George
I thought they did have fun stuff!

I liked the tall clock at the end.
It's pretty! It's a Howard Miller, it's not as old as it looks but a great style
Near Chattanooga, yes! Great video, thank you
Cool, thanks! I always find good stuff in southern TN
I have that Hoosier cabinet in the original!! Original Greencastle plate no mint paint, lol.
I like them new or old, but particularly old! I'd like to get one again
I enjoy your videos, very educational
That's great, thank you!
Love your videos! Thanks!
so glad, thank you for watching!

Thanks I had fun there!
Shoulder pads, a belt, makes your hips look smaller.
I suppose that's true! I have the opposite problem lol
If they are the correct size, they're supposed to make a woman look 10 years younger.
I don't remember being fooled that way back in the day lol
How do you spell that name Melachorte? That stone cup that's like a mortar/pestal.
Molcajete, a volcanic stone used to grind salsa
So how much was on the log table?
I think $495, the tag was a bit illegible
Hey buddy! I left you a comment on fb.
I'm sorry, I never remember to look there! I'll try to find it

hey i mad it hello everyone
Hi! I"m glad you're here!
Hello back 🤗
Shoulder pads have the illusion of a smaller waist! Bigger pads smaller waist, dressed to deceive!
Yes, I suppose it was appropriate for the 1980s when women were starting to work up the corporate ladder. It seemed like it got overdone though, I mean, an official Coca-Cola version??
Lol, women wear shoulder pads to make their waist look smaller! Get that nice hourglass shape.
