I want to get rid of my smart phone and get a switchboard.
Oh great idea Jan!
I love that idea! 😊
Great video - appreciate your narration - I learned a bit and it brought back some memories. So excited you got the mixer and the chair 🎉! I saw some similar chairs locally in Jacksonville FL at the antique mall but weren’t sure what they were - and now I know!
Glad it was helpful!
I like that chair and I'll bet it's so comfy. If you look at the mixer from the front, the black knobs on the sides are ears, the bolts are eyes, the hole is the nose and the engraved squares are his mouth. He would fit in with the Brave Little Toaster perfectly. My imagination is going crazy tonight.
I saw the resemblance to a face on the mixer as well!
So did I. It looks like a robot face.
I’m so glad you got the chair! You got a great deal on it! My partner teases I can’t have a truck because he knows I’d bring back thrifted furniture to the house 😅
I am glad you got that wonderful chair. Gov Hochul advised us New York residents to stay inside today or wear a mask . It smells like a campfire in Albany!
Sweet wicker planter, perfect for your porch.
I think so too!
Hi Scott, Your new shell chair would be perfect in your living room. You would be able to enjoy it upstairs rather than in the basement.😊
Our family had an 80 room hotel in the 60-70's. We had a switchboard just like that! I remember learning how to use it..calling the operator to put a long distant call through.
Your chair is awesome. I love the art deco clear glass dish.
Again, I love everything!
You're going to need a bigger boat😂❤
Those streets are tight! Love the chair. I’m jealous.
Love your chair Scott !
Yeah! You did get the chair, I bet it is so comfortable.
When I saw the switch board the first thing that came into my head was “One ringy dingy” from Laugh In 😂😂
Smoking today whether we like it or not. It is raining so that is helping here in NC Foothills. Stay inside.
I’m so glad you found a spot in your house for that beautiful shell chair. The wicker planter will be perfect on your porch. Thanks for showing us some great things today.
Mixabeator, now that looks scary. That motor looks like the one atop the old dentist drill. Of course, wringer washers looked like monsters too. Grinding, rocking off balance, rollers creaking and turning, looking for the next unsuspecting set of fingers. We sure lived with some dangerous appliances. Toasters that glowed red and metal fan blades whirling just waiting for a finger sandwich. LOL!
YOU BOUGHT IT!! YEAH!... This is the comment I left on the community page, where you shared the photo, before you uploaded the video!: "Oh my, you are teasing us! That chair is magnificent! I hope you bought it??!! It would look fantastic paired with the similar chair that you have down in the basement alongside that gorgeous console radio!!.... and if you didn't buy it, you better go back and do so!! Absolutely LOVE it!! Sensational find!"... IT'S SO FUNNY THAT I WAS ESSENTIALLY READING YOUR MIND, LOL
Scott you are so unique, love this.
So glad you enjoyed!
I hate to say it but I remember a very similar switchboard at a company I worked for in 1967. 😮 Scott, you find the best vintage items, so many unusual things! Love that you got the chair. It’s pretty amazing!
I knew you'd buy the shell chair,its fabulous.Poirot would approve.
I’m so glad you bought the chair, it’s in great condition. 😊
That chair! In California that would be hundreds of dollars! The gorgeous deco tidbit/nut dish and lovely sunshine yellow McCoy vase are beautiful too. Great outing today! I do wish you could put that chair upstairs though. I just seems too grand for a basement rec room, but then we haven't seen your plans for down there yet, so I should suspend judgement. Will be interested to see the lovely plant stand painted and in full glory with potted and hanging basket of plants on your porch. Great find!
If you hadn't gotten the chair, you and I would have broken up! Thank you for taking us shopping.
That chair was meant to be yours Scott. When you rubbed your hand across the fabric, the sound brought back so many happy memories of sleeping on my Grandmother's couch as a child. Thank you
Yayyy I'm so glad you purchased the chair. That was a very nice mirror 🪞😍
my great aunt had a chair with that upholstery. i remember digging my fingers into it as a little kid.
Scott we have smoke from the wild fires here in Cincinnati
"Junking with Lou" uses your opening music for hers also, so it was interesting to hear the entire piece!---I'm happy you got the chair!!! And envious of that pretty crystal candy dish (which I have no use for, so even if it had crossed my path out here, I'd have to pass it by.)---I fear that your air quality likely got much worse after you finished editing this video...worse even than the worse of our local/distant California fires. What a tragedy for both our nations. Prayers are needed for an end to the suffering.
I just love that 60’s music at the front. Thanks for the fun video!
Barbies in the all natural plastic, this is the summer of the Barbie Movie. That mixer is so unique, it looks like a stripped down modern one. I love the McCoy Vase ofcourse. The chair is awesome find. Kitty says done.🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠🐆🦋🌺🐠
Oh, I love the chair. It looks so comfortable. Seeing the candy dish caught my breath away. My daughter bought me a green one for my birthday 2 years ago. It sits atop my antique desk. I keep my favorite wrapped mints in it. Thank you for the information on it. 😊😊😊
Scott that birdcage wicker planter is incredible!! Just like one my grandma had when I was little!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 awesome video!!! Oh I love the Philly AIDS Thrift! That place is soooo cool!!! Can’t wait to visit there again!
I'm not tired of hearing you tell us about the basement.
I would put the beautiful chair in a bedroom.
I knew you would get the chair. It's great.
The candy dish made me exclaim 'gorgeous' out loud.
Really enjoyed going thrifting with you ,some wonderful items.I recognised the legs in the mirror were they Queen Ann or Chippendale 😂.👏😀👍
The switchboard reminded me of being a “mobile operator “ before cellphones.
Glad you got the chair, it was too good to pass up.👍🏾
The mixer is almost skeletal.Amazing.I can see why you like it.Will watch the repair video.The art deco glass sectioned tray looks as if you could use it on a dressing table too.
You really do inspire me!!! Love all your videos… 😊
Thank you so much!!
That switch board was absolutely awesome sauce. It would make the alternate conversation piece for any home 🧐😯😲😀
Love the 1930s chair. I like movies from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s and I often find myself paying more attention to the decor and furnishings than the actual storyline. Love your style.
Me too
Me third 😉
Ditto
The chair is fabulous
Hi Scott another awesome day thrifting so glad you picked up the chair it was way to beautiful to pass up and at that price uh absolutely also the buffalo China cups and that crystal Art Deco dish was that consider a nut dish ? Nice scores has always take care
That chair is beautiful! I'm glad you got it. I liked the mirror as well, but not as much.
Nice find especially the shell chair
My kind of thrift store. I would had picked up that tombstone philco.
Love the Music and New Format!! 🥰Linda
I purchased an old table that I didn't need😂. Still unsure where I can use it... may have to let go of a piece to add it.
At 12:15 my gramma had one of those chairs. It was my favorite and I loved to be the one to get to sit in it. It was a cranberry color. Sho wish I had that chair today. So big and comfy
My favorite was the Pillsberry doughboy locked in an old birdcage😂 I want desperately to travel into Philadelphia and go to some of these cool places. They look like so much fun. I will be happy to sit in my Barcalounger while you travel into Philadelphia admidst the hussle and bustle and traffic jams😊
Where's your Converse shoes? Thanks for taking us along.
That chair is wonderful, you can only wish to find such a nice piece. Good for you!
When I was little, I had a litebrite. I always wanted to be a phone operator. Lite brite. Was as close as I got
That chair is oooo la la ❤❤❤❤
Love Jinxed. Haven’t been there for 4 yrs. My daughter moved to the West Coast so I no longer visit.
I loved the chair!!!!
I knew the mixer was calling your name!
I was a switchboard operator, I miss those days. Love your chair.
My father-in law loved that man’s singing
Love the chair!
That chair is a peach!
Hi Scott, the television @ marker 7:51 looks like the one we owned. We were so excited, I remember watching early variety shows in black and white! Loved the chair, was it comfortable to sit in? Enjoy your day stay safe (smoke from fires). Jersey Ann from NJ Love Salem still! 😺💕
What FUN shops!! And of course FUN video!!
Some lovely buildings at the beginning
Love the shell chair! What a great find!
My mother has a few of those shell-type chairs in the living room. The detail on the woodwork is spectacular! Would love to see if you can get that 1915 mixer up and running again!
When I was in college I had an on-campus job as a telephone operator. The equipment was a very outdated “cord board” switchboard much like the one in the video. It was actually fun to “operate”. The shell chair was a steal - and it’s gorgeous.
I like the chair and the mixer, so glad you got both. I enjoyed the music too! Thanks Scott 🏡🌻🐈⬛
Glad you enjoyed it
I liked the album rack @5:51. Please state or list the places you go in the description, in case I want to go there to get something like the album rack I saw!!! Thank you!
I did mention in the video the names of both places. 🙂
Every single time I watch one of your videos I learn something! Thank you, you're a great "teacher". I've come to love the 30's and 40's and before and beyond so much more than I already did! I may not comment all the time but believe me I'm watching :) Here in Ft.Lauderdale we have Poverello that benefits our comrades with this dreaded aids virus. I shop there often to benefit our countrymen as we all need to help. Ok that planter box is to die for! The mixer looks like a Martian saying "O" o my quit teasing me with that! And the "Chair" what more can be said ! OMG! Your the best Scott!
Nice chair! That smoke is scary😷
Wow, the chair is in beautiful condition! Great find. Here in WA state we have the smoke from BC, Canada floating down. Not nearly as bad as on the East coast right now. Stay safe & that mixer is so, so cool!❤
She was calling to you like a mythological Siren! So glad you rescued her, what a beauty! I used to work on a cord switchboard like that in a medical center. They gave us all a souvenir cord when they modernized into the current century. People were always so surprised when I showed them pictures of it. 😂
Love the switch board.The graphics on the sheet music..beautiful.
Love the chair. Did you leave the mirror?
I left the mirror.
Good old Oliver No. 3 typewriter. As usual, so many goodies to see. I'm happy you picked up the mixer. If you can unseize the motor it would work great as a paint mixer.
Granny had a couch with a "gold" version of that fabric. Only sat upon by a series of preachers and their wives when it was Granny's turn to have them for Sunday dinner. Us kids were on the kitchen chairs or outside!
I love that old cord board. I used to work on them when I first started out in the work force, oh so many years ago. :)
i remember seeing those cups in schoops burgers for years. good ole smashburgers there.
I'm so glad you bought the chair! Philly must have a treasure trove of vintage and antiques. Makes me want to take a ride into the city.
🥦🟦 woohoo❤
More restaurant ware! 💖
The inspector gadget mixer is so cool! Ugly but cool!!
that mixer is ancient.
My favorite fabric
Watched the restoration of the mixer.The bowl holder will turn up some where.Its so unusual.
How can you tell how old the wicker is? What are signs it’s old?
Well there are certain construction details to look for. But mostly the design and form. I have been studying furniture from this era for many decades and I can just spot it in a second.
Wow look at that smoke
Glad you got the chair. Enjoyed the snazzy music.
Thank you, Scott. Hope you had a nice trip.❤❤❤
XOXO
Scott, I LOVE that chair!!! What a show stopper! 🤩 You scored on that one for sure! 👏👏👏
I really like the chair. They are very comfortable.
Love you & your content, but this time the music was WOAH TO LOUD!!!!!
🙂 sometimes in the TH-cam studio, it’s difficult to balance the volume during editing, and sometimes the levels are unknown until the video is published. 🙂Thanks for watching.
Beautiful chair
The TV reminded me of my grandmother's house in the 1960s and 1970s. Hers just sat there and didn't work, but man could it hold a giant Christmas cactus and some yucky jelly-filled chalk mints.
I REALLY want an old TV like the one from the first thrift store! Another TH-camr I watch has one similar that she had converted so that it has a new TV in it and it is totally usable. My Great Grandmom had a very large goldish yellow couch like the clam chair, I remember it wasn’t that comfortable but it was coo!
