- THRIFT WITH US! | RESELLER VINTAGE | BARGAIN ANTIQUE SHOPPING
We're on a mission to find reseller deals for me, and shelves to house my bottle-digger cousin's collection! Can we manage both things in just a few hours by thrifting?
We score in this video, where a tour through the thrift shops and flea markets of Clearwater, Florida offers some great antique and vintage delights at bargain prices! Salvation Army's church flea market is the first surprise, a place I didn't know existed turns up $5 Bosson's heads and 50-cent Matchbox cars...and we're only getting started!
Our next stop turns into a world tour when we visit a viewer's mom at her fun themed 1960s condo development! Past facades simulating destinations from Polynesia to Germany, we pick up a fine bargain on a vintage mirrored parson's table. Now where can we find some shelves?
A furniture thrift store I've bypassed before has our answer, along with a surprising colllection of vintage smalls and some true antiques. We close this one down for the weekend, yet they're even so nice as to reload our now rather full van so we can get to the next thrifting!
Hep Thrift Store is the next stop on our journey, a local thrift shop that has a gorgeous (though costly) 1927 Charles Lindbergh medallion, a PanAm tie tack (is that really half off of $4.50?!) and some other pretty vintage things we can't fit but might return to later. But it's the second Salvation Army stop that really pays off, when a fresh cart of merchandise comes out of the back room just in time for us to source a collection of European penguin figures and other name-brand vintage home goods! With the potential to make as much as $50-100 each, we're thrilled by our good fortune (and by the $31 total spend). It's mission accomplished, time to go unload for our next thrifting adventure!
Here's some of what we find in just one afternoon of thrifting:
Vintage costume jewelry and pearls, Bosson's heads, Matchbox Models of Yesteryear cars, Longaberger inaugural basket, 1960s cherub crystal lamp and sconces, Couroc tray, Lenox China, Metlox Lotus tureen, comic glasses, Murano bowls, Royal Albert cup/saucer, 1980s brass and glass tables, vintage vinyl and CD's, Mexican feather picture, A&W mugs, Pyrex orange mixing bowl, Treasure Craft Disney mug, 1940s dartboard, John Perry shark figures, Sheraton Revival bedroom furniture, Tudor style secretary/china cabinet, Coolidge dogs playing poker prints, dome top steamer trunk, 1970s rattan breakfast table & chairs, Johann Haviland china, faux Hubley iron cat doorstop, Italian mid-century pottery vase, signed glass penguins, Royal Crown Derby paperweight, Waterford shell, Rinconada puffin, Hutschenreuther penguin, Cal Style chip-and-dip, floral tureen, Raku vase, etc.

Your cousin was so nicely generous! Nice to have family you can like.
Love to see when you go back to that one that was closing!
Thanks for the adventure!
He is a great guy and was really nice to let me get all that, I offered to share but I guess since I took him out and found him cheap solid wood shelving that he wanted to pay it back.
George, between you and your cousin, you made out pretty well, especially after that last cart came out with Waterford, and German penguins. One never knows what you'll find!
Turns out the glass penguins were a Murano signature! I have farsightedness and couldn't read it
Enjoyed watching you on this video. Value the educational moments. Introduced to you by Danni, the Niche Lady. Had to hop over to Subscribe and select the Notification Bell. Thanks for such a groovy channel.
Awesome! Thank you! Please keep commenting and tell your friends
New subscriber. Thks to Danni and CLL and Yvon. Loved this video. Glad you found some great treasures.
I thank them, and you as well! Welcome to the channel, I hope you'll continue to watch and have fun with me
I had to laugh...you reminded me of Jocelyn a little, when you guys found the good stuff. She gets all excited and overwhelmed. A very palpable moment for us all. I love how the community of resellers and viewers are so happy when one of us scores a great haul.
I really enjoyed your time over on Danni's Monday live yesterday. Always interesting to hear the back story to ones journey. I use to go to garage sales with my mom as a child and I never realized how much I absorbed until a few years ago. Thanks so much for your willingness to share your time and knowledge with us George. It is such a pleasure.
Thank you! I sure enjoy it and am glad I can show the enthusiasm. My mom took me to garage sales as a kid and it stuck with me too
I loved this one, George. Nice to meet your cousin and hear a bit about your family. My personal favorite things: Bosson heads (I had some that I got in England, and I made some reproductions). I love Franciscan Apple ( American made only), and Waterford anything - especially love the seashell. I’d be interested in perchasing that one if you kept it.💚💚💚
Thank you! I had a lot of fun showing it. I do like Bossons, and USA Franciscan Apple is one of my all-time favorite patterns. E-mail me about the Waterford shell
Love the door bell on your cousin's apartment, its just like my great aunt Marie had,and I'm sure that the six of us ringing it to announce ourselves was a true highlight of a visit from our family!😂😄🤣
I love it!
I love when you describe history of jewelry. Very interesting!
I like costume jewelry and there's a lot to know!
Good morning from NE Michigan, I love your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Xoxo Lori K 👌 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁 😆 😃
You're most welcome! Thanks for coming along!
Honey, you should have just pushed that cart like it was yours😊 Ha Ha, you just said that😂😂
Lol you're right! BTW if you see this contact me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com, I have a donation receipt to share
Too bad I wasn't at the Sally flea with you. I can usually eyeball pearls. You don't need your fingers really, just your front teeth or the ability to get a good look at the drill holes. Looks like you got there way too late unfortunately. I'm glad somebody is scoring in a thrift. My local Ill Will is so-named for cause. BTW- Hutschenreuther = HUT (as in foot)-shen-roy-ter. They make some nice stuff. The name is a tongue-twister if you didn't take too many years of semi-useful College German like I did.
Our Goodwills are pretty much dollar stores so it was great to find something at their rivals. My German was limited to bad conversational high-school classes
Love your finds! You have such a beautiful voice. You should have a tv or radio show about your wealth of knowledge!!! 🙋♀️❤️🙋♀️
Wow! Once again I’ve learned so much from you. Could the UTC label on the penguin be Otagiri? Your cousin was a great wing man!
He sure is! I think UTICO was a separate firm from Otagiri from what I can tell. I'm so glad to help where I can
Wow, you are a veritable wealth of knowledge! I have the angel sconce that lies on the table to the left of the "Zsa Zsa Gabor" lamp I picked up at a barn sale for $4. I am into Victorian, but the lamp was a bit ostentatious and prices were very high.
That's so kind! Yes about the sconce for $4, and yes, as much as I liked it, the lamp was too much
There’s a interesting channel called Crick Diggers Inc. These guys dig old bottles and more. I thought your cousin would enjoy checking it out.
Cool! I'll let him know, he loves that stuff
Love that huge cherub lamp! Georgie, who would have made that huge lamp, and is it from the 70’s or what decade?
1970s or late 60s, American made but there were so many lamp makers doing them I can't tell you who did that one
The large bronze disc is called a Death Penny and was given to the families of dead soldiers etc from World War One. I believe that they are always British military and should have the name of the dead combatant on it. I know that the one I own does as it is a family heirloom.
The 'Death Pennies' are a sad story, but very interesting! This particular round was about 10 years later however, in the US they issued variants as commemoratives of other events
Love your pleasant demeanor and helpful information.
Thank you kindly!
What an incredible outing!! Lots of new places that aren’t that far away from where I live!! YIPPEE!!
Oh good! They deserve patronage, they all had things worth seeing
Loved the day trip and the world tour. Smiled through the whole thing. Thank you George!
Me too! I'm glad you had fun with it too
Loved this video of you shopping with Carl.You scored some great treasures !!🦩🌴🌞
Yes I did really luck out!
George you are a real ethical man. Just one example is paying the woman a fair price for the par table !
Even better watching second time around George! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I liked this one, it was a fun day
This was a fun shopping trip! You saved me tons of money on travel when you said, “this is just what Bavaria looks like”. Saved me a trip. You crack me up!
Lol why see Europe when you can see it all at home?
I am new to your videos. Love how you teach as you shop! I will be back to learn more! Thank you!
Thank you Jeanne! I'm glad you found me, please tell your friends and keep on commenting
The penguin is Murano, signed Licio Zanetti. Your cousin did you a very good turn there!
He sure did! You and another viewer recognized the signature right away, I'm farsighted and really couldn't read it on the spot (I need to bring my readers, hard to admit). Thank you for that!
George has the best sense of humor.
Such an enjoyable video, George. Loved the trips through the different locations. And the banter with your cousin! Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and post this video!
Thank you so much! I enjoyed this one a lot
Love the doorbell and knocker!
Heard about you from Danni and checked you out subscribed🥰
So glad! Have fun catching up and please continue to like and comment
I certainly will🥰
Love your blog.. always learn new things
..that was such a great haul of penguins!!!!
Thank you! It was sure fun to find them
nothing like a FRESH CART of the good stuff ! My GW store restocks at like 4pm im always there lurking..all the antique dealers come at opening
That's smart! I didn't realize some stores restock at the end of the day
Only at 4pm??
The Goodwills I go to are always stocking every hour or two
learned a lot from you Bud, Thank you for the fun videos
Glad you like them!
That was fun! We could feel the thrifting bug hit ya!
It doesn't happen often, it was nice to hit a good vein!
My favourite was the glass 80’s coffee table ✅
If those cabinets hadn't filled the van, I'd have gotten it
Awesome treasures. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Thank you 🤗
My mom had a large collection of Bosson's that she bought when we lived in Germany. Unfortunately a 30' wall of water washed them out of her house during Katrina. They were still in the boxes so we figure either they are deep in the swamp or out in the ocean somewhere.
Oh no! That's terrible, I didn't realize she went thorugh all that. I hope she was able to rebuild
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, they rebuilt. They had built this house in Bay St. Louis MS as their retirement home and had only been in it for a month before Katrina hit. They lived in a 18' RV for over a year while trying to rebuild. It was a nightmare. Things can be replaced, the worst part was the loss of all the family photos. Their house was 19' off the ground, so no one thought a 30' wall of water would ever hit that location!
What a fun trip! On top of the world was an interesting development. Loved the penguins! I always enjoy shopping vicariously through you. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I had to show On Top of The World, there's not much like it that I've seen
@@TheAntiqueNomad You know, I've driven by there thousands of times growing up in Clearwater, but I've never been inside the development. So that was a first!
holy cow your cousin is one of those weirdos who thinks they're better than everyone so he collects bookshelves huh?? just kidding, I also collect bookshelves, I prefer the metal over wood, plastic, and bakelite... just kidding x2 I know what you meant haha hope I made you smile!!
Ha! No he’s rather humble considering how knowledgeable he is
And...TOMMY KEENE! "Places that are gone" and "Back to Zero"...ok now I have to go listen to that.
Cool! Me too
What a fun adventure!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Our pleasure!
This may sound crazy, but I've started buying hobbiest pieces. I love the creativity and individuality expressed in someone's art.
A friend of mine who is a successful long-time pottery dealer does the same, as long as they're well done! She has a great collection, and as she points out, they're all one-of-a-kind
@@TheAntiqueNomad Wow, I'd love to see it.
I love them too but a lot of them are worthy of being thrown in the trash lol.
I look for pieces that look as if a professional did it.
And there are a lot of talented potters out there
I love that you will pay more to a seller that has underpriced their product. I know a woman that actually dickered with a seller so she didn't have to pay $155 for a Paragon Floating Rose. Criminal. I don't know how people sleep with their conscience!
Agreed, people who are in the know shouldn't take advantage of those who don't
Those condominiums cracked me up!😂😂
I know, right?
Let's thank George by emailing his video to a friend or 2. He is almost to 60 K
Thank you for taking us with you today! 😊
I swear you are a walking Schroeders Antique Guide book, where the heck do you store all this knowledge! I constantly read to gain as much knowledge on antique and vintage jewelry but i just cant hold the information. So i find myself referring to my books over and over again. Is this something collectors and dealers struggle with in the beginning years?
It's fine, I still refer to all those guides! I think they're a great source of knowledge. I've done this full time a long time, just have fun and keep doing it and you'll be amazed how much knowledge you accrue along the way
Glass top tables are a hard sell for me (I buy them anyway). A lot of the stuff I like hasn't caught on (again) yet. I'm glad people are recognizing those burl Perry pieces. I have some myself. Great shopping cart find! Too bad on that Italian pottery.
Agreed, the glass on brass is just starting to pick up again
@@TheAntiqueNomad What about elephants holding up a glass top?
I’ve seen the Insect Surfers live back in the early 80s! Never would have thought of them again. Thanks for the time warp.
You bet! I like taking people back in time
You are a very interesting gentleman with a fantastic personality. That makes for a good match. I think you are so helpful to so many resellers. Enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
Living in the UK I can confirm all our castles are pink lol 😆 brilliant video love the doorbell ringing, it's something I do when people have annoying doorbells
Lol I appreciate your sense of humor!
Very nice find with all those penguins! Also a side note, I had the little dog figurine that was in the cart. Mine had a foil sticker that said the maker was Peacock and made in Japan. It was neat to see it in your video!
Oh wow! It's nice to know who made it. I thought it was cute and knew it was 1950s Japan but I'd never seen a tag on one
Great video. Wish you were my cousin. 😄
Those penguins are cute. Glad you accomplished your mission successfully too. Thanks for letting me come along and see what is out there that is interesting too. Have a great day and stay warm.
I’m so glad you got to come along!
That was fun!
How to clean those John Perrys? Not sure I am spelling his name correctly... 🤷♀️ TY
Soft toothbrush with very light soap suds is the best way I know, go in circles to avoid disturbing the finish
Good evening, George! Those model cars were nice. One of them looked like a Duesenberg. There was a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote glass there. I would've had to have bought that one. I loved the Tudor-style secretary desk. The price was a bit on the steep side, but for someone that wanted a really nice one, it would be a good find. Those penguins were a great find. You were there at just the right time for those. That Waterford shell was a fantastic find! That was a really good thrift shopping venture! That doesn't happen often. Thanks for taking us along!!!
I do like Wile E. Coyote! The secretary was the nicest piece of furniture I found all day. I was certainly lucky to walk up on the fresh cart of stock right then! Have you ever seen the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg museum? Those cars are so phenomenal (and huge) in person
@@TheAntiqueNomad I've never seen the Auburn/Cord/ Duesenberg museum, but I have seen a Duesie, and they are massive! I saw a Duesie clocked one time. It was one of the ginormous ones...an SJ, (or something like that), dual cowl Phaeton, I think...and the radar clocked that thing at 133 MPH...on the old spoke wheels, no less! It had a V-12 in it. I'd love to have one of them, but I'd have to live in it😆 Wouldn't be able to afford anything else!
The Insect Surfers! They were one of the reliably great bands to go see in DC back in the day; along with Tru-Fax and the Insaniacs, The Slickee Boys, the Razz, and the inimitable Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band! All free range, drinking and dancing shows...never stuck in a seat, and not even old enough to be there. That's funny they ended up in LA...makes sense!
How fun that you know all that! My cousin is from DC so he caught on fast. I was a big Jawbox fan but they were mid-90s DC
I'm George's cousin Carl, and grew up in MD, until 1981. Mainly Wheaton and Silver Spring. I forgot about the Slickee Boys, but saw Root Boy several times. Them and the Nighthawks. As well as scores of concerts at the Capitol Centre.
When I found that cd, I knew that I remembered them from somewhere.
Think I saw them at the Pschedelly, in Bethesda. Thanks for helping me reminisce!
@@curbdiggercarl The Psychedelly was FUN! I was in Northern Virginia (just outside of DC) through High School and some College; I left in about 83. Things had already begun to shift, but there were still so many good small places to see shows; plus everybody tours through there, or used to! It was a great place for growing up as far as music.
Boca has great second- hand finds...esp. with furniture. Some sittings even have carpets custom- made to match.
I bet! The Palm Beaches are all good for thrifting
did i hear you say you have a shop in St. pete;s? we vacation there and i always love to check out the vintage shops! have you checked out shops in Gulfport? i found lovely vintage jewelry there!
I haven't lately but should, I got a great Phoenix glass vase the last time I shopped Gulfport
What exciting thrifting finds! Wow!
I don't usually score at thrifts like that! It was exciting
I had a good friend that collected Samuari swords.he made so much money on some.he had a national treasure sword sold for six figures.he also dealt with Nazi stuff very interesting.
I bet it was!
licio zanetti are your penguins, I recognized the signature I think from you showing it for a second.
Thank you so much! I was having trouble reading it without my jewelers loupe, I've become farsighted in the past few years
@@TheAntiqueNomad If you like you can email me a pic and I can for sure confirm, but pretty sure thats what the glimpse I saw was....
That was fun! A different shopping experience with you! When I see a ‘collection’ donated to a thrift store, I feel sad because I think someone must have passed away and family didn’t want the collection.
Well, sometimes it's downsizing too
I think it is one of the reasons that some of us resell. It is our way of honoring the person who took the time to collect and now we can send items on their way to a good home, to someone else that will cherish them just as much as the last person.
Love all the goodies you find!!
Thanks! me too
You are too funny with the condo comments.
George you know I collect Waterford
Hi George! Enjoy your videos! What is your birthday please!😁
July 27
Salvation Army worked out great for you George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got some great items!
Good fortune
This are the right places for hunters, and the prices are amazing cheap.If you hear on German fleamarkets the word :" Antique ,old or rare", the sellers want to weigh up their stuff in Gold.Greatings from your German fans 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪
We sure are fortunate to have such excess!
Thanks for the variety, George. Nice to meet your cousin, too! The knowledge runs in the family, obviously. Those Bossen heads always bring back memories. My Air Force dad brought my mom back some from one of his TDY trips overseas in the 70s. That & the bull & matador from Spain.
Neat! I especially like the bull and matador sets
We have a rolling rack like that at Costco
3:56 WOW I ALSO HAVE A LONGABERGER BASKET
New subscriber, living on the other coast of Florida. Found your channel through the Crazy Lamp Lady. Really enjoyed this video and look forward to following your thrifting adventures. BTW, my mom had an antique/thrift shop in central Indiana, so I grew up hitting garage sales and church rummages with her.
Oh neat! I’ve done some good buying there. Thanks for joining and I look forward to seeing you in chat and comments
I have tons of antique items but I don't know the value of any of them and would like to maybe chat with you about them
I would be glad to help you! The least expensive way is to schedule a time when you can organize the things you have questions about in categories and we could work on an hourly basis. There's more info about that at TheAntiqueNomad.Com under the APPRAISALS tab
Love all the little shops you find, George. God Bless.
Thanks 👍
I inherited a few Couroc trays from my parents and came THIS close to tossing them. Glad I didn’t! One is an owl. They never used them so zero scratches. Now they sit in my house, still untouched and unused. Lol
It's so good you kept them and are enjoying them still!
I like watching your videos and I am learning a lot from you, you had a really good day.
Thank you, I felt fortunate!
Omg, I live in Clearwater and found new locations to shop.
Good! They sometimes have stuff and one of them was new to me even though it'd been there for years
love your videos--I live in Florida and cannot wait to see one of your flea market stands.
November Mt. Dora is next, weekend before Thanksgiving! I'm traveling elsewhere for shows between now and then
Oh George, your so honest to pay someone more than asking.
I loved those coffee tables. I don’t feel they are out of style.
I love The Salvation Army. I always find something and their prices are great.
I wanted to do right by someone who gave me a nice tip and helped me! I like those tables as well.
Looks like a death penny WI
Very interesting about leaving objects outside or burying them to achieve the orange 'rust' look - good tip!!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m watching new video
Heard about from The Niche Lady! But, I had already watched some of your videos in the past.
I'm so glad you came back to look again! Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in comments and chat again
I like the around the world tour. It would be fun if the inside were designed like the outside
I think it should be required!
Hmm English gothic - not !
I thought of you, I imagined you wouldn't be fooled!
I would also bought pirate head.. would wanna wake up to him looking at me aaarg
I like him a lot
You the bomb, George! Great video! I really hate pyrex.
Hi there! Good to see you again. Pyrex is good stuff in some ways, but the paint fade makes it hard for me to imagine using regularly
Wow someone's entire penguin collection was donated. Love it when youre at the right place at the right time. That happened to me with my sourcing today. Sorry about the italian piece, it was giving me Bitosi vibes. I found some incredible pottery mugs today and unfortunately one had a crack, which im sure started a a hairline and is slowly grew. I will peep and use as a pencil holder and the others I will sell.
It was good timing! I bet that was Bitossi but I couldn't accept the condition
I hadn't comment in a long while because since I am always a short of money, I never buy anything and I thought that I better let other people the real customers comment, but, I have been with you since the beginning and I do watch you on TH-cam all the time, feel a little bad not able to buy anything but one of this days I will, I promise anyway thanks for making me happy George the antique nomad, I love your videos!
Hi there! Please always feel that you can engage with me, I'm thrilled you've stuck with me! it's never been about making money to me, I just want to share the love of all this cool old stuff. A lot of people who are able to spend do, so that's been a nice side benefit, but your involvement and long-term support mean much more than cold cash. Thank you!
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you for making me feel that I am not being a bother!
Look marvelous George
I'm n Florida too!
That was a very fun adventure. Love the penguins.
Thanks! Me too
Great, now everyone will be twisting that door ringer!
Ha Ha I hope so :)
You are so full of knowledge. Love to watch you!
Thank you so much 😊
Glad I found your channel! I live in Tarpon Springs and just started thrifting. I’ll have to check out the places in your video!
Wow, talk about being at the right place at the right time !
Yes!
Next time if you have no cart , maybe gently empty one of the bigger bowls and place your items in it and then go get your cart. You can put bowl back in art or on shelf later! I was getting nervous that you could drop or damage while trying to hold all of them!!
Great score!
I was happy!
Absolutely just fell in love with this man!
He's available lol
