- VINTAGE Glass, Farmhouse Decor & ANTIQUE DEALS | RESELLING for Profit
We're getting schooled in this video! Preservation Station in West Louisville, Kentucky is a unique antique destination, a brick 1950s country schoolhouse that has taken on new life as a venue for vintage decorators, professional craft makers, antique collectors and resellers looking for things we can flip for a profit. What will we find in its dozens of classrooms to tantalize us?
This place is fun for those of us who like to mix our antique and vintage into our everyday living. Each classroom is staged by a different dealer, each with its own feel and style, with foci ranging from repurposed & revitalized vintage furniture to 1940s elegant glass giftware, vintage fashion, antique salvage, even a case of pocket knives and cutlery! This bright and fun antique collective is likely to have some bargains tucked away for us to resell...how do we find them?
The answer comes as we wend our way through crooked corridors, down staircases and in-and-out of what was the old gym (now an events center and antique overflow space), past the old cafeteria (now a great scratch-made weekend restaurant) and into the old library, where shelves teem with antique pottery, 1950s kitsch, and goodies galore for us to explore! This venue proves profitable as well as fun to shop, and we send a pile up to the principal's office to hold for us to buy. What a perfect rainy day tonic antique shopping is!

Never seen a cat get into a shoe? Most cats don't fit, but a kitten will climb into anything once! It fits, they sits.
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Xeno, in those shorts and jacket, reminds me of Angus Young. All he needs is a cap and a guitar. 🙂
Lol I’ll have to show him who that is
I really enjoyed seeing the old school house building. I absolutely love the floors! What a great idea for repurposing the school. There’s something about antique shopping in a cool old building that is really appealing! xo
The basement floors in the house I grew up I were similar except it was interspersed with musical notes a treble and base chef tiles. My dad was a professional musician
Xeno looks great on your thumbnail!
Zeno advertising so cute and funny 🥰
When you where downstairs there was a cookie jar that we had when growing up! Ceramic with different cookies on it! I always liked it as a kid and still like it!!!
Oh yes! I've never found one in good condition to buy
your knowledge is really amazing and I love listening to you it helps me so much when I’m choosing for my house.
Great video , I love listening , seeing and learning about yesteryear objects . Thank you 💕
Loved all that amberina behind you before you went downstairs. That was some gorgeous glass. Have a great day
Me too!
Hi George. I'm such a fan of you.usually I'm all about the glass but what wonderful furniture today.
It was a nice variety!
❤ great video. Thanks 🎃
Hi George and Xeno Happy antiquing. 😊 BTW Xeno has some great looking legs.
lol yes
I can't believe, but dearly appreciate all the info you give out about everything!
My pleasure! I want people to share in all this
My most favoritest part? When Xeno does Vanna :)))))
Lol me too
I’m so happy that I discovered you George and your channel. I’m learning a lot from you. Take care George. And thanks!
Me too! I'll keep trying to bring you more fun
El Palomar is a ceramic company in Tlaquepaque, near Guadalajara, Mexico. Don’t know who the Keneth Edwards you mentioned is, but Palomar is an old established Mexican company.
Ken Edwards took over El Palomar in the mid-century and taught them how to do lead-free glazes so they could sell in the USA
They had a vision that sure works for the environment 🎉
Huggy Bear Lol I remember 😂
My sister had an old white tom cat that loved shoes. He would stick his head in and fall asleep. He especially loved leather boots.
Lol cats surprise me hearing lots of those stories
Fun trip! Thank you George, and especially your display model, Xeno.
I'm developing an affection for red glass. The Fostoria was beautiful.
Me you and Christmas is near
You continue to amaze me with your knowledge. It's incredible. Thanks for another great video!!
Thank you too!
Thanks George and Xeno. Great video.
Our pleasure!
Xeno yours picks are becoming spot on!😅💕
He's really learned a lot!
The most wonderful thumbnail. 😁
Lol I knew you’d love that one
Oh boy! I can't wait!
thanks George
Wow, so fun and educational, thanks for sharing.
I bought a Reed & Barton triangular shaped bowl (silver on outside, teal on inside) at a recent trip to an antique mall. I knew nothing about it, but it was so pretty that I had to have it. I wondered how old it was, so thank you for your input.
Xeno looks like he could be wandering around Woodstock. Very cool! Peace,👍
You got that right!
Good evening, George! The old tins next to the Rubens vase caught my attention. That fire alarm would make a rare doorbell🤪😂There were a pair of vases on the table behind Zeno, when he had the hatchet, that were really pretty. I liked the Victorian mantle ewer on the waterfall vanity. Liked the Art Deco fish stand, AND the lamp behind it. Wow! That large brass (?) lamp, with the glass shade, on the shelf with the basset hound really caught my eye. I've never seen a sheep shearing apparatus like that. I have my great-grandfather's hand sheep shears, like the ones hanging on the wall in that next room. I have a large coal sculpture of a miner with his lunch pail and donkey pulling a coal cart on rails. The old wood stirrups like were on the shelf make good napkin holders. I'm not a fan of amberina. The red and yellow together looks a bit "Romper Room" to me. There's a lot of nice and interesting things there! Thanks for the take-along!!!
I like tins, not sure how I missed those! I do think the fire alarm would be great in another use like that. The fish stand is on my bucket list! My sheep shearer in the family immediately explained that the shearer seen is an 1890s one used in the field by an assistant helping the head shearer. Amberina is so strongly identified with the 1960s to me that I have a hard time with traditional pieces in that color (I like Victorian peachblow, personally). I'm glad you got to go with the axe-wielding maniac and me!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Whew! Could you imagine that fire alarm as an alarm clock 😬 If that thing went off at 5:00am, it would make anyone have a complete nervous breakdown 🤪🤣 OK, now the sheep shearer makes sense. I couldn't figure out how that could be used to actually shear sheep. Like you, I much prefer Victorian peachblow. I have an Indiana Glass "Heirloom", (it actually goes by three different names, depending on the colour of glass used), water set. Most of the "Heirloom" ones were made in amberina, but I took care to find one that is all red...just don't care for amberina. Had Xeno been reading up on Lizzie Borden? 😆
“They do have actual bathrooms” 😂😆
Thank you, you guys are a fun duo!
💖
27:30 I have the clear green basket with the twisted handle, but mine is clear. Sales value in clear ... not much. But it's over 100 years old.
We had a kitten (for a while) that got in my dad's dress shoe and defecated. The jeweled pins make an excellent "bow" on Christmas parcels.
Bad kitty!
Well Hello George n xeno from sunny Ga
❤❤❤
Love those Eames style chair shells at 24:36! I wonder if they were fiberglass? Also, i love the concept of this place. Reminds me of my Catholic elementary school.
Such a fun concept and great reuse of a country schoolhouse! The chairs were fiberglass it appeared to me
I really like Marcrest. I've never seen the lazy Susan. Interesting. The plates are difficult to find here (OKC); and, when I do find them, they are covered in scratches.
Regarding the sheep Shearing machine, if not mistaken, I believe it is a flywheel system which would be linked to a cabled trimmers. No batteries and limited electricity access and small motors back then. Simple method to create the power necessary to run a trimmer on the farm. Similar in concept to the pedal based sewing machine flywheel systems you see on old sewing machines.
Excellent description, that dovetails with what the sheep herder in my family said! Thank you
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank you. You are always a wealth of information. It just happens my Granddaddy had such a device when he had some sheep, and that little piece of data was stored in the old memory banks for almost half a century. I am a great fan of your channel. Keep up the good work.
Great video. What a cool location. Thanks for taking us there!
It really is!
HI George! ❤
Hi there!
Huggie Bear! 😂 Xeno definitely has a future as a Barker's Beauty! 😂
Totally!
Thak u for the trip !!😊
George, I believe your friend was having a fun time reenacting the Price is Right. I think he did a better job than some of those Barker Girls. Thats a Big place & I enjoyed tagging along. Thanks ! :~)
Lol yes he did
once again George I think you make a very good a hat model just lovely
Hi George
31:13 pyrex bowls.
If you see the small blue one that's sold individually I'm on the hunt for one that hasn't been through the dishwasher a million times.
I'll keep that in mind!
I have gotten some good prices for Rueben glass! I sold a very large vase for $50 from a TH-cam viewer. I try to grab them now.
Yes! Reuven is catching on
Awesome Video! Thank you George and Xeno! Loving that rising sub count! Soon to be 34.5 Million! Hugs and love from Alabama
I think that is almost 35 thousand and not million, but I could be wrong.
@@m.c.master4622 That is just something I always say to George because it WILL soon be 35 Million Subscribers
I’m ready for it! Lol
Hi George, I replaced all my wine glasses with depression glass. I have several different colored sets and yes, I do use them on the table to match various dish sets I have. For my nightly glass of wine I have quite a decision to decide which one to use! Great video - thanks as always. 9a currently in the Traverse City, MI
Oh neat! I had a friend who had 8 different sets and would put on lavish cocktail parties so she could use them all
Wonderful idea about swapping out-I drink to your health🎉
@@PamIam3559 Thanks!
Great video George! Loved the floors of that building. They matched the green fiberglass shades of those MCM lamps. Did they ever give you the price of that green glass Spanish hanging lamp that you picked up in the beginning of the video?
$95
I collect all colors of depression glass, my pattern is Sharon/Cabbage Rose by Federal, I use the plates and serving dishes for holiday meals because they are in mostly green and amber, and my teacups and saucers are mostly pink. They work so well with my Savanna by Noritake wedding china from 1979, there is a white background with green floral border with pink, yellow and blue flowers and a platinum rim and they go so well together. So I agree with you that using your depression glass is perfectly fine and should be done or why just keep it hidden away? I display some of mine in my china hutch so I can admire it every day.
What a nice combination! I like the mix of depresión glass and China in those colors
Xeno is a great Vanna.
lol yes
George right at the first of this video you picked up that piece of Italian glass was that Murano? I picked up a small Marano ashtray it is clear with a orange starburst in the middle of it with gold around the starburst $6 did my comps and it is going for over $100.
The starburst helps yours a lot! Very good find
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes I was totally amazed when I found that piece. I think the person that had the booth didn’t realize what the piece was because they only had it for six dollars but I sure knew what it was.
George, I'm feeling sassy today so I want to know what you edited out just after you said you haven't had a cheese ball in a while??? 😆
I honestly think it was innocuous I don’t recall
I'm from Owesboro although I live KC.
Cool! Glad to show you the old stomping grounds
3:13 I HAVE THE LARGER McCOY CANISTER IN THE BACKGROUND
XENO IS DRESSED LIKE HE'S IN FLORIDA
The southeast has that kind of climate!
Curious, did u find out how much the green glass lamp was @4:03? What a great piece! I want to see it hung & plugged in around a bunch of plants and tapestry decor. L❤VE it!
Hello, I asked the same question when this video came out and George said it was $95. Loved that groovy green lamp as well!
@@george.carrasco Good taste! How kind of you for responding 💚
What do u think? Would u have bought it for $95? I hope to get lucky and find one like this at a garage sale for much less
@@_Amor_Fati honestly I would have bought it! You don’t come across those in the wild very often! You never know right?
True! I would've paid that if it were for my collection. Used to see them a lot in California as a kid but no more
Xenooooooooooo
is the daisy & dot brown dish ware made with lead glaze does anyone know? i love the look, it looks like Hull brown which apparently does have lead? I’m new please clue me in haha
Here’s the best info I could find from a Mar-Crest collector group: “ I've heard that older, 50's and 60' stoneware pieces are "probably" lead-free, although, you shouldn't use pieces that don't have a shiny glaze and/or have cracks. Avoid acidic foods and drinks in Mar-crest pieces that are worn and/or cracked. I drink out of a Mar-crest stein every single day, and have for a few years. If you're very concerned, you can purchase a lead test kit at a hardware store and follow the directions. Did you realize that leaded crystal contains lead? And that lead is not the only potentially dangerous element that can possibly found in pottery glazes? Glazes from other countries, especially very colorful pieces, may be of utmost concern.”
@@TheAntiqueNomad thanks! 👍🏼
Trying to catch up
Thank you! I appreciate it, I'm always glad when folks are having fun and keeping up with it all
I am decorating challenged. I have great ideas in my head but when I put them together it looks nothing like my visions 🤦🏽♀️ I envy people like Misty (TJVH) who just throw random pieces together and it looks fantastic…. That is not me, unfortunately.
It’s okay to collect what you like and keep in clusters like a museum! It doesn’t have to be a movie set if it interests you
I have lots of pics of my kitties in shoes. Hobbes, when he’s particularly playful, will wear a shoe as a hat. It’s ridiculous!!!
