- VINTAGE RESALE SHOPPING! | SPARKS ANTIQUE SHOW & FLEA MARKET
When you’re selling at a big show, you have to take time to make money by shopping! Sparks, Kansas Antique & Collectible Show offers four days of shopping fun, and by opening late and closing early, I can squeak in a few hours of vintage reseller shopping each day.
I’ve never been to Sparks before this, so I start with an orientation to this now near ghost town of 9 souls that burgeons into the antique destination for Kansas City and surrounding states twice a year.
It’s fun being the new guy shopping in the wild…I’m ferreting out the bargains as I go! The hunt scores jadeite plates, Edward the Abdicator beakers and a handsome antique pyrography grape stand that I flip the next day in my sales booth here (yes, at the same show!).
So many more fun things to ogle, even if we can’t take them away…
an amazingly artistic deer head, iron farm wheels on the cheap and a stylish pickled bamboo shelf all threaten my pocketbook very little…but space is at a premium because I brought a van full to sell.
The collector in me is moved by easily folded Rock Island Railroad towels, reminiscent of my namesake grandfather. Razors are still practical cutlery forms, and antique and vintage varieties make fun out of man’s daily drudgery of shaving.
We show and tell about things that appear at this market (Hollywood Regency to Armour Bronze) where antiques and vintage meet farm junk and used goods. From doll furniture to real furniture, Manhattan to martinis, we roam through a cool world of old-school values…some of which let us resellers make money while having a blast!
Here’s some more of what we see in this video:
Farm primitive and old paint furniture, coffee grinder, picnic baskets, Enco enameled sign, records, Conestoga wagon lamp, spice box, salt box, copper picture, 1930s stoneware mixing bowls, forest service STOP sign, barberania, lightning rod, kitchen stools, torquay hair receiver, Kellogg phone, parlor chair, Knowles Yorktown, marble table, galvanized pitchers, wall pockets, Mr. Peanut bank, Westmoreland wedding stand, Pyrex lime ware, advertising ephemera, photo paperweights, Franciscan Apple ashtray, pyrography, Siamese figure, etc.

I love that round marble table 😍
I sure did too!
George, I am addicted to your channel! Your knowledge in antiques and vintage things is endless. I learn something with every video I watch. Thank you!
I'm so happy you're enjoying them! I'll look for you in future comments or chat
It amazes me how many virtually unpopulated towns there are that hosts these sales and how much vintage treasures are in the middle section of the US! 💖. My favs from this sale was the box of 1950's doll furniture and the vintage felt Santa's that were on the same table, the stack of Jadite salad plates that were an amazing deal. 💖
Incredible really, this is literally a ghost town when the show isn’t going!
Great tour and I learned about Sparks Kansas!
Glad you enjoyed it! Sparks was new to me as well...not much left of it except during the flea market weekends
Thank you George!
Thank you for being here it was fun to show!
Great video 👍♥️
Thank you 🤗 Please join me for more this week!
Thank you for taking us along on your adventures and teaching us as you film!
More to come! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. See you for more this week!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Look forward the next video!
More to come! I appreciate your watching very much
I still have my Marx tin dollhouse and the furniture ( no dolls) that came with it! However I purchased reproduction furniture so I could let my granddaughters play with the dollhouse.
Good thought!
Thanks for another "Cool Stuff" video. Love those "Slow Children Playing" signs. Those kids are destined to grow up to be "Slow Men Working". 😄
Lol yes! I'm going to steal that
Hello George hope your day is Great!!
You too! I'm back in Seattle and seeing a lot of people for the first time since March lockdown, so it's good.
Love that west Moreland milk glass wedding cake container 😍❤
Me too!! It's very pretty with the Charleton decoration
Wonderful flea market tour. Thank you! You may also enjoy the gigantic flea market (400+ vendors) including great antique booths in What Cheer, IA, held two times each year. Awesome fun, great buys. 🙂
I almost went there to show this year, but I'd done 4 shows in 4 weeks and decided I couldn't hack the long drive. I hope to go next Spring!
I really like how you comment on the items, as well as the town info! I always learn something form you!!
I'm so glad! I love to share what I see, it's fun having you on my adventures with me
Hi, George! It was really fun watching you and Yvon at the antique mall in Denver the other day. I’d heard a lot about you and now I can see why! You know so much about so much.... I’ll have to pick your brain, too. This was a fun trip back in time; I see things that my grandmother and mother had years ago. I’ll be binging your prior videos, trying to catch up. Can’t wait for the next one!
That's wonderful! I really enjoyed Yvon, she was just as she seems, which was pretty great. Please watch my older videos and pick my brain anytime!
The Antique Nomad thank you.
thanks again George for another great video. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe.
Thank you! There's more fun to come
We use a similar coffee grinder at the antique mall where I am a vendor. Still works great.
That is awesome! Every mall should do that, they're a great looking and useful thing
My grandad used to say See a pin pick it up and all that day you’ll have.....a pin
Those Edward beakers were a steal at the price
Weren't they? I like buying bulk within reason
Love the Manhattan glass.
Me too have accessory pieces now
The green Pyrex was the dinnerware of my childhood. They were probably a wedding gift when my parents married in 1956.
Great color for then! I enjoy seeing that stuff with the bowls everyone knows
in uk...cup has saucer...mug does not....a beaker is a mug without a handle!!!..much love
Oh, my goodness! Thank you for telling me. I've been misinformed about that for years...I blame my Canadian dealer friends!
@@TheAntiqueNomad we also blame Canada for ''everything''....ps i write songs...green alarm...on...soundcloud...open source if you ever want to use any..much love from over the pond
Came back to watch the beginning because I missed it the other night. Safe travels my friend. 🐳
Welcome back! I'm glad you got to see it. I'm safely in Seattle for now, thanks for the well wishes!
Great info George and I love seeing all the shows you go to. The regional prices are interesting and the repurposed utility cupboard was unique.
Thank you! I like seeing the regional variations, and things (like the cupboard) that are specific to a place or one-of-a-kind
Good deal on the fern stand. Congrats
Thanks 👍 I was very fortunate that they didn't see it like I did. It went to live with a nice woman from Pennsylvania
Hi George! I love traveling and shopping with you. I found TREASURE CRAFT for the first time while thrift shopping last week. I gave you a shout out and included a link to your channel under my video (around 17:15). I feel like everyone should be watching and learning from you. 🤗 Best wishes!
That is awesome! I'll have to go look at that. I'm excited that you found stuff, it's seeming to be appearing in the wild again after quite some time where I wasn't finding it
@@TheAntiqueNomad I was excited to find it and now I want to learn more! 😊
💚 Morning, catching up...I was still hitting the Denver Thrifts when this went Live 😎
Hi there! I'm really glad we got to hang, and more to come. Let me know when we drop
Hi George. Your thumbnail reminded me to ask if you are planning on shopping or selling along the World's Longest Yardsale this Summer? 💖
I can't this year, I'm doing an appraisal fair in Centralia, WA that weekend
Fascinating as always.
Glad you think so! I sure have fun every time I go out to film and I'm glad I can show people fun stuff
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Just saw you on Yvon Thrift Rich....great content....so informative!! Just subscribed 🤗
Thank you! I'm so glad you subbed. I do videos every Monday and Wednesday and look forward to seeing you again! You're also welcome to join in chat during premieres
I love all the Renwal doll house furniture. They even had treadle sewing machines, bidets, shower stalls and wringer washers they made. WOW I didn't know but now I do and can get some for my little houses. Thanks for the information and taking me along with you at this flea market. You have a great day and safe travels
Oooh,you mentioned Sparks in another vid and I thought you were referring to Sparks Nevada. How could this be I wondered. Silly me. Have you noticed how the peeps you shopped with have expanded the thins they look at now?? I love it. Still trying to send you a couple pics. Love your sharing. Go, George
That's great to see and I have noticed! I'm so excited that people are starting to care a little more for old stuff beyond "it's cute"
Lots of interesting items. Loved the 1930’s green magazine rack right at the end. $10? I think I would have taken that home.....even though I don’t need it. 😉 Thank you for your tour. I’m a relatively new subscriber so I’m learning lots. Unfortunately, some of the things that often strike my interest from your videos or others (eg. Crazy Lamp Lady) aren’t as readily available in Australia, or they are astronomically more expensive here because they’re so much more rare. Looks like I’ll just have to shop along vicariously with you, Jeffrey, Jocelyn and Misty instead.
Yes, I do hope to find more things I know you might see there. I thought of the magazine rack at that price myself! At the same time I know I've not seen a piece of Wembley Pottery in the states... I hope someday to get to Oz and see what's there
@Aunty Harry I feel your pain on the astronomical prices here on Guam
Daphne Babauta.... it’s the one negative of watching these videos. Otherwise, I love them !
I really enjoy your videos! Hello from Pennsylvania.
Thank you Emily! I'm so glad you're getting something from it.
Looking forward to this...as always!
Glad to hear it! I really look forward to it too, I get to relive some of my favorite experiences
@@TheAntiqueNomad NEED YOUR THOUGHTS ON HEISEY , THANKS
I loved this video, partly because my family is from about 3 hours west of Sparks in Phillips County, Kansas. There was some gorgeous stuff for sale, and you scored on those plates!
Oh wow! Not a lot of folks from out that way, it's fun that it connected to you personally. I was happy with the show and look forward to going back again!
NEED YOUR THOUGHTS ON HEISEY , THANKS
O.o I cannot find the video with the Marble dealer guy can you please tell which video it is please! hahaha I told a guy I love to watch him find old marbles in old old dumps. And that the guys said Marble King Marbles were very valuable and collectable. Now he is mad at me for saying that but I was kidding with him that obviously it about location. need to show him the video please!
It's th-cam.com/video/Oz9vE_fbCys/w-d-xo.html
@@TheAntiqueNomad ty so much : )
Really enjoyed this tour! That Victorian parlour chair was fantastic! That was a steal on the fern stand, and a great turn-around! Congrats on that! The figural lamp, at 13:35, is beautiful. I've always liked those. All the lamps in that shop were fantastic. I was so happy you said to not paint antique/vintage furniture! There has been so much value lost to people doing that😌 Those RR grease rags were really neat, and I imagine a bit difficult to find in good condition. It would be awesome to see that town restored. There are some really nice old buildings there. Loved seeing all this! Thanks!
Thank you! I did think well of the parlor chair myself, I'd have that in a Victorian home. The lamps were attractive to me as well
As always great video! Thanks for all your knowledge!
Thank you! Having fun stuff to show helps
Enjoyed this! Boy, that percolator coffee pot had me excited for a moment but saw it, like so many others, is missing pieces. I will find a working one in the wild...the hunt is half the fun! Thanks for taking us along.
I had fun too! It's so hard to find those percolators complete, I hope one comes your way soon
I like seeing what you think is worthwhile to purchase and flip. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I have my own perspective, every other dealer does too and that's why I try to show the whole gamut!
That was cool to learn the history of your name.
Oh, cool! I think that went by most people, you're the first to comment about it.
As always I really enjoyed your vlog!! You mentioned Burlington,KY , I was a Jailer there & in Covington back in the late 80's!! I remember we would go on the roof in Burlington & watch planes land @ the Cincinnati international Airport there in KY!! Lol!!
Wasn't doing any pickin' in those days tho!!
Well, keep on keeping on!! 🙃😉
Natural State Pickers
Hi there! I did notice a camp for the wayward out there. Picking seems like an easier pasttime
Hi George👋 I know that you mentioned a product that is beneficial for maintaining Formica table tops...meant to write it down, but forgot and now can't locate which video it is. Would you mind repeating the name? Thanks so much! 👍
Sure! It's called Gel Gloss. It's more of a cleaner that doesn't wear out the finish
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you very much!
Hello everyone! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi! Thanks for coming along for the fun
I loved the doggy! And you are right. That stained glass in the church should be saved. Hey is there any way we can get my name updated in your membership list from Sara Smith to Sara Rinckel? I just now got around to updating my google account to my married name. If it’s too much of a pain-don’t worry about it.
I had no idea this town existed!
Where do you find information about these shows in these small towns?
Antique trader is a good source, also antique trail in the southeast and other regional papers you can get at antique malls in your area
@@TheAntiqueNomad awesome. Thanks for your help.
❤❤❤
Probably you didn’t stay overnight in Sparks as it seemed to have limited amenities with only nine residents so where did you stay?
Good observation! I van camped which is something I rarely do...I made an exception for this and would likely again
I originally assumed.....Sparks, Nevada. My mistake!
I should've explained better! I fooled a few people with that one
Rip Eddie van Halen
Yes ...just heard at dinner. A piece of my childhood is gone. 💙😭
Yvon and I were talking about that today. Rock and roll takes a toll
That one Hurt. Rip -- EVH
What happened to the town's people??
It was a small farm town and the one on the Missouri River outdid it for location. White Cloud (the neighboring town) is not much better off now though
“Slow Children”
Another viewer said that sign grows up to say, "Slow Men Working" lol
Bye bye!!
Hi I'm sorry I missed you in the chat hope to get to see you again
I was too enthralled to type!! Hanging on every word. You said bye, so I responded.😂
