Obviously, NO ONE but very old people remember the vaudeville routines that are waiting (like a lot of Alex's finds) to be brought back into the light and dusted off for a new generation to enjoy.
@@perrynio maybe not as rare as you think just most people like these are to humble to “advertise” their good works. Not that I think Alex and Hans are advertising either and I’m so happy to see their videos they are uplifting and renew a sense of the goodness out there!!!
I remember when Hans was first introduced to the channel. Now he's got a coffee in his hand, talking about the videos of the projects he's working on that he uploaded to TH-cam. WOW! Thank you Alex for building a community of good people :-)
It's good to see Hans so happy and doing well. He was always good natured and entertaining, but you could sense he was a little troubled too. Little did we know the troubles he had.
Hi Alex! Those coins are definitly a good score, I would go so far as to say that they might be your most valuable find. Collectors are willing to pay huge amounts of money for some of those coins. There is a giant market for pre-1830s American coin, and some of the 1870s coins are what is called trade-dollars. They can be quite hard to find and are therefore quite sought-after. I would not put these through a normal auction, they are too high end. I would instead contact an company specializing in coin like heritage auctions. It would also be a good idea to get them certified through Pcgs or ngc. Please take this into consideraion as I do not think they will reach their full potential price in this auction. Pleas like so Alex sees this.
Yep, pre-1837 American coins are prized because that was the year there was a run on the banks and the start of a depression. A lot of coins were taken out of circulation and summarily hidden/buried.
I am waiting for one of you to accidentally lean on the hidden lever in the basement that causes the cabinets to move out of the way and reveals an entire wall of weaponry. LOL.
One of the saddest things was seeing how hurt you were over the break-ins at your store and hearing you mull over giving up. Let me tell you, Alex; you bring so much peace and happiness to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, if you take a pause and think about that, the people who robbed you have no such joy in their miserable little lives. What they took has material value. What you give is priceless.
He still needs a living and probably has paid for most things that were stolen. Which makes it a loss. Not good if you run a business and have to make a living fot the five of them!
Isn’t it Zenovia? I can’t hear very well with the volume down so I don’t wake up the husband. Thought her name is beautiful but with the B it’s a little different sounding.
I'm like that. I'm decluttering a room full of boxes of my own stuff right now, and it's hard to get rid of anything. I have a bad case of the "just in case" and "I can find a use for that" disease.
Not only is this series about the treasures found in a house, but it's also about the riches of family, friendship and a positive outlook on life. This is the good side of the internet!
People don't understand the snowball effect happening here. Everyone has their niches and things they are willing to do... the owner tried and decided it was too much work so sold the contents to Alex. Alex doesn't have the capacity for clothes, im sure the etsy shop guy will sell "chunks" of the collection to other sellers... Everyone down the line benefits
I’m sure she would be delighted You can tell she was organised with her things but then perhaps with age or infirmity got overwhelmed and I’m sure she would be pleased to see order restored and her precious clothing and accessories seeing the light of day ready to be enjoyed and appreciated once more
@@007nadineL Yep. crazy people dream things like that while there still alive...to bad they cant take it with them..it would be like all of YT Barn find shows rapped up in storage wars heaven.
Please don’t put those old coins you just found in the basement in the auction. Please take your time to research the prices on each coin. That collection is worth way more than the 100 oz bar of silver! I’m so very happy you found them!!!!
ya that 1799 is worth a mint my grandfather would have already had that sent out to be graded i saw anywhere from $1500 (low end) to idk maybe as much as 10k maybe more depending on condition
Alex... I just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!! for having a CLEAN CHANNEL !!!!! NO swearing or off color anything.... THANK YOU !!!!! CHANNELS like yours are extremely few and far between... THANK YOU AGAIN !!!! Merry Christmas..... From USA.
I'm just looking through the Potter, and this is SO much better. You learn as you go, I guess. Camera work is better, we see the people involved more. Yes, the owners too, after a fascion. (C what I did there?). I really love Hoarders, but this is not produced. This is LIFE. And this woman could put clothes on the whole cast of Queens Gambit!
@@poodlegirl55 It's a YT new angle to a rateing slump and economy crash kinda like storage wars was years back..I found a million $ in this here mountain of trash..jezz people, it's just cyber soap oprahs for the dim witted goodeltons of St. Luc Du Par/ Creator Content Domain...hwy. 61 make a wish foundation.
I think the Ballerina grew up in this house. Her father was a tailor; looks like her mother also sewed and did embroidery, knitting or crocheting. Probably the parents worked in the basement and made their little girl the playhouse with dolls and books so she could be with them but not underfoot while they worked. Then the parents died, she inherited the house and moved all her stuff in in neatly labelled boxes when she moved. Or possibly the parents walled off part of the basement and she stored stuff in there for years and then when they died, she moved in her clothing collection 'on top of' their stuff still in the basement. I think we're looking at two generations of the same family's stuff in the basement.
It looks like dad was a hoarder too, because of the layers upon layers of expensive tools, most of which have never been removed from their packaging or been used. And the shoes and the clothes on the bed upstairs too. That was probably his room before he passed. It seems like Madame Rac inherited this tendency.
I enjoyed the things Josh found. The way he takes a second to read some random paper that adds to the story, is more intriguing to me than just shuffling through things according to their value.
Good Morning Alex, I just wanted to say thank you for all the enjoyable videos. My wife and both sit down to watch them together every time you post a new video. Also I have to say how much I admire Hans, Genovia and Josh what awesome people. I also have to comment about Josh coming all the way back and returning that couple of dollars he had found and forgotten about in the last video, what a honest young man! That impressed the heck out of both of us, most young people wouldn't have made that effort over a couple of bucks. Whomever raised that young man did a fine job. I hope you continue to find lots of valuables to make all that time and hard work worth while. My wife Denise and I would like to wish you all a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season, Merry Christmas to you all and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
I love Josh's creativity and I enjoy his TH-cam channel just as much as Curiosity Incorporated. His channel is called Joshua Alexander. Check it out, especially his video of painting the Joker. The video is a masterpiece in itself. Merry Christmas.
@@1962pjh Thanx for mentioning Josh's TH-cam Channel... I just subscribed.. and yes, I really admire that young man! Josh, you are an example to many young people out there! Your honesty will pay off big time in the end... God bless you, young man
Alex, thank you for sharing this journey with us. I can’t decide whether it is fascinating, or horrifying. Clearly, the homeowner had a lovely home, nicely decorated, with many quality pieces of furniture and decor. The collections appear to have been put together well, but I. The end, it just became overwhelming. I think you have handled this clear out with respect and sensitivity. Well done to all.
It looks like they had a great place for raising kids. I wonder if they had a business/warehouse and when it closed, brought everything home. The way it’s all boxed, labeled and stacked is pretty meticulous.
It feels like the have hade a second home with lots of places and moved "home", like when you take over your childhood home when your parents leave earth, and you bring your clothes and personal stuff. And all the sudden you get tired of sorting and labels everything and it just start tu piling and piling more and more. I have seen hove a hoarder person start to put in more and more things to a room, 5 tables and 11 chairs, too many sofas and thing on things and later unpacking things over and over. But here here, it is one bed, a chair, a make-up dressers and chair in a room and stuff, and stuff, and stuff.... when the stuff was gone, the room was ok. Kind of.
I wonder who inherited all that Tiffany jewelry if there is no family left? Surely, there's a safe deposit box (or ten) somewhere loaded down with treasure. Too bad Alex didn't get to look through all the coat pockets and boxes of clothes. I'm sure treasure is probably hidden in those.
@@carrieoakwood5896 Many people have suggested this, but I'm not sure much of it was new. Of course, we didn't get to see most of the clothing, but what we did see looked worn and collected. I could be wrong of course, but that stacking and labeling is sometimes how a hoard starts and then as people's mental illness gets worse and they get overwhelmed, it just starts to pile up everywhere randomly. I hope Alex can give us lots of information about the family when he's done in the house.
I love how no one will lose out on this. The owner of the property got 10.000 bucks and a clean property, the clothes person got a huge load of fur coats - still worth some money - plus endless supply of 60 and 70 clothing, which he will be able to sell well enough to make up for the 10.000 he paid you. You got your initial investment of 10.000 from him, and will get not only the money for the dumpsters back and the money for your work force, you will also earn a good penny or two on auction and the other items. And your friends Hans, Zenovia and Josh earn some money, get some tools - and all in all everybody wins! Nobody got taken advantage of, everybody gains something.
If those silver coins are real, Alex is the one who comes out best, plus, there were lots of other coin collections and that silver bar. Let's just pray they're real. I wonder if he gets back anything that isn't clothes that Paul finds in that stash, like stuff in pockets, stashed in the boxes, etc.?
@@OldLadyInFL I hope they are real for Alex's sake. Wonder the same about stuff in pickets, we will see. Alex is the one that worked the hardest in all of this.
Alex, even though I've never been to your store because I'm in PA I talk about you all the time under the title MY ANTIQUE GUY. I have a feeling that many of us feel that same way. Keep on being you. We love you and your friends.
I call them: "The Canadian family, Curiosity", you know. I talk about them like I have a crush on all of them. 😁 so I make sure I talk about Melissa time to time also so my husband don't think is true, about the crush on Alex and Josh. 😁😁😁 They are handsome men but its not why I follow them on TH-cam. Its so fun to see what they are up to. Finding fun and nice things and so talented. And so nice and heartwarming, all of them. Alex helped Adam and Hans. And Josh up to so much fun. They are all so loving people. 💕
Josh finding the mill and how excited he got (like a kid on Christmas morning) made this episode for me. And the silver dollars he found for you also. Those should be quite valuable individually. I agree with some of the other commenters that they shouldn't be put in the auction. Take your time and find the right buyers. Merry Christmas everyone!
Loving this series so far! Though, a small tidbit, a mill is not the only machine that can copy itself, that honor belongs to a lathe. If all you have is a lathe you can build new lathes, but while a mill is great at milling straight it's not the best at making circles. Though, all of this is only true in the very most rudimentary sense. A lathe and a mill together though could make all parts required for either machine to build some high quality stuff. They're the right and left hand of any mechanical workshop. Having just one without the other is a handicap as far as what you can make. The rotary table is a great find, worth as much if not more than the low quality mill you found. You also had a small one in the upstairs room. There are a lot of high quality tools scattered about, all love to Josh but when he says he doesn't know what he's talking about trust him on his word. You should take out all the obviously new bad quality stuff and haul it off to auction and then get someone who actually knows tools to look at the rest. There is a lot of money buried there, and sometimes in things you don't expect.
@@craftsoda you can't copy a 3D printer with a 3D printer though. You can make a lot of the parts for it, absolutely, but you cannot make motors or a hot end with it.
I wanted to say thank you all for making me laugh and giggle during these hard times with Covid. Watching your videos are a great escape from the sad news 📰 on tv. Thank you !! Love ❤️ from USA 🇺🇸
Or seeing if there's a 'Love Quilts Canada' as they make quilts for very ill, and possibly dying, children and young adults and it's a volunteer organisation!! I know there is a 'Love Quilts USA,' & 'Love Quilts UK.' The UK one made a quilt for my granddaughter. They can take these to the hospitals with them!
...What a great idea. I used to donate paper towels, then I stopped because I'm trying to be a bit more green. But I never thought about my sad old sheets, and even some well worn curtains going to line some cages and clean some messes!
Alex you have been the 'instrument of change' not only for your family and yourself but now, for some exceptional people. I think you have all become celebrities for the world to look upon and admire. You truly are an amazing person. Keep the daddy jokes coming too, I love them.
Uhm - Conan the barbarian - was a fictional character. But the name Zenovia is a sideform of the name Zenobia - which is old Greek and means "one whose life derives from Zeus. There was a historical person, too, who was named Zenobia. And I have just looked it up on Wikipedia, no expertise necessary.
I just checked on the price of one of those old US silver dollars and the one from 1800 is worth about $3,800 us price all by itself. You hit the jackpot!!!!!
That's good they need a score with all the time invested going through everything, dumpsters, moving things, then still have to pay % at auction for fees. Hope they keep finding more. Think he said early on a garage still? Not sure.
Possibly. It all depends on grading. I'm sure Alex will get these graded as the difference between Fine and Very Fine is $1000 to $3500. I'm curious to learn more about the Chinese and possibly Japanese coins even though they don't have nearly the same value.
Unfortunately the coins are reproductions. There are still collectors who will buy them as reproductions, but they aren't worth what the originals would be.
Where did my crystal bead curtains go? Whew! I spoke too soon, there they are. Hopefully they’re being saved. When we first met Hans, even though he was a little down on his luck, he was still a happy, positive person, doing good for others. He’s still that person, but seems so much happier. I have really enjoyed watching him and Zinovia. (I apologize if I’m spelling your name wrong.) They both seem so happy and he keeps her smiling. Hans and the wigs was hilarious!
It’s great to see Hans looking so vibrant and healthy. And Josh got so excited about the mill machine. Great find. Getting there, it’s a massive improvement. With this woman’s original organization skills, I’d bet any valuables were in a safe deposit box. She kept her purses empty, no really costly stuff in her jewelry box so it has to be somewhere safe. This is a woman who continued to collect change and kept her precious clothes fairly well organized and protected. This isn’t like the Potter House but there are parallels. Both women were talented and passionate. Thx Alex and company.👏👏
I was thinking the same thing ! I've only moved 4 times in my life tho , I even left my clothes in the drawers and put the whole drawer in a bag on the trailer to keep from having to pack the clothes back in once we got there.
@@lizbrown7232 Me too. I remember when he was the brave one to open that fridge! What a great guy. This will be a tough 1st Christmas for the family without him.
Alex has a huge generous heart. I feel like I know him and the crew personally after watching all of these. The Potter's House sold me to subscribe. Alex rescued Mary's legacy. I think her soul rests easier now because of it. I'd like to know more about Paul. Does he have any social media? All of this makes me want to move to Canada.
Your attitude is great, Alex! You are not as easily overwhelmed as I would be...and not as greedy as I would be (hate to say that). Glad to see the auction house starting to fill up! If you still have ALL the fabric that was in the house, I hope to see it broken up into at least 4 lots for optimum payout. I'm no pro, so I don't know. Your attitude toward Mark's gain is very commendable/admirable. You are out for adventure...and some profit, so hopefully it is a satisfying project in both aspects. I keep thinking about all the money and jewels that are getting away, but hey, life is very short and YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! Lots of fun to watch. Looks like it will all be worthwhile. Absolute best wishes!!
As a collector of silver dollars, I think I screamed loud enough for the neighbors to hear down the block when you pulled out those old silver dollars! That was very exciting!!! LOVING THIS SERIES!!!!
Was waiting for the doctor to return to exam room when I got this notification... do I watch? Do I wait? Doctor came in had to tell him all about you- he promised to watch later
I know right! There was so much clothing it was unbelievable 😮! It would have taken me a century to go through all that and another to sell everything. It's one less HUGE headache for Alex to deal with.
Josh finds letter from person in prison, describing monotony of view, absence of freedom, followed by the funniest thing you've ever said: "Sounds like how Stephen or Jason would describe living in our house."
It would be cool to check back in with the clothing guy in a couple of months and see how he’s doing processing all the clothes . I was curious if he has purchased big lots like this before etc.
That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday, I was trying to see if he has a youtube channel, I would watch every episode of all of the unboxing, processing etc. I think it would be so fascinating!
@@michelleb4209 I believe Paul (the 'rock and roll dancing guy) had said in another video that Mark (the clothing guy) doesn't have a TH-cam channel. But we really should keep encouraging him to make one! I'd watch every video of sorting through the clothes that he wanted to make. And I have ZERO interest in fashion, lol.
At 43:08 That is an "accounting machine". I remember these still being used back in the early 1970's. I used to go into the shoe factory where my Dad was an industrial mechanic and tool and die maker on Saturdays when I was a kid and help him with various things he was working on. Fetching stuff and so on. I remember eating my lunch at a desk in an office when I was 6 or 7 years old and being told not to touch the accounting machine. I found things like that fascinating. It was high technology at that time.
That Sucrets box in the tool box after the 43 minute mark really brought back memories. My dad had plenty in his tool boxes. He liked to consume the lozenges, and then the metal boxes were perfect for storing all kinds of little things. Thanks, Alex et al.
Once the rooms are empty you see how massive they are and then you realize how much stuff was really in them for them to seem so small. And seriously, I am so curious and compulsive that I would open and read and look at everything. It would take me years to clean that house out. I’m amazed at how fast you’re working.
This essentially shows the danger of having money to buy tools etc for hobbies but then not enough interest/time to actually use them. At least these things will now get used.
Alex, I know that between this house and editing for TH-cam, you probably have been working insanely long hours. Take 2-3 days off man! Enjoy Christmas! You’ve got like 6 weeks left. 😆
If there are quilts in the linen closets they can sell for premium money. They are worth looking into. Even the 1970s polyester ones are trendy to collect right now.
I have stayed up for this video. I’m down in Victoria,Australia and it’s about 2am. I found your channel when I was living in Alberta a few years back. My husband was working on a ranch on hwy 22 near Chain Lakes. We loved our time there and I hope to be able to get back to visit again soon.
Hey @@classicambo9781 will do! Have to say I’m a wee bit proud of the Sydney peeps right now. All my bits are crossed for a less restricted Chrissy. ❤️❤️❤️
I am HOOKED on this series! It's not only the process and your business goals, etc. Getting things in order is very satisfying...every step of progress you make (like the floor becoming visible!!!) relieves some sort of stress in me. Funny how that works, but perhaps that's one of the reasons hoarder situations are popular viewing. I also think that family must have been very talented, educated and interesting!
My husband who is a machinist said all those tap and die sets are for threading holes and are worth about $40- $70 a piece depending on what shape they are in. Great find!
Perfect!! Its dumping here in Calgary and no better way to start a snow day with another episode of this series...Cheers!! P.s. I'm so glad Hans was able to upgrade his work truck. He so deserves it!!
I'm subscribed to CBC Edmonton and I checked the map yesterday when that awful forecast came out. I'm thanking my lucky stars that hasn't happened to us yet this winter. It will. Not a matter of IF but WHEN. I don't think you guys have the wind there that we have in Iowa? Even a foot of snow can create drifts too high to drive through.
Hi from Melbourne, Australia. I couldn’t click on this video quickly enough, even though it was 2am. I am completely hooked on this series and can’t get enough of it. Thank you for taking us along on the adventure, Alex. Until tomorrow, I am going to get some sleep. 😘💕😴🇦🇺
I've enjoyed watching this hoarder house series. I also enjoy all the witty banter between everyone. It's great that everyone gets along well and you have honest and trustworthy people helping.
So happy you found treasure! Awesome video I could watch you all day long! The old vintage flooring in the boxes you could sell to a antique salvage store, it's great for people renovating old homes who may need just a few replacements pieces. Love the curio cabinet and settee they looked ever better in the action house light. I cant wait to hear about this womens and her story. It seems since I've started this journey with you I can not get her out of my mind. Take care.
At 13:51, Josh pulls out a little manual drill and another thing still in the package. That other thing is a graphite marble mold! If I lived closer, I'd take that off your hands for you. I'll keep watching to see if there's more flameworking equipment--I know a couple beadmakers in Canada who may be interested.
17:25 !!! Those glasses are gold. Not metallic gold. Gold as in much sought after. The steam punk community will climb all over each other to purchase those.
That's what I was thinking. Are those early welding glasses? I saw another pair in the chest tool box. I don't think it was the same pair as the others were in a box of safety glasses and goggles.
Hallo Alex, you wear those glasses when you climb a glacier to protect eyes and nose from the sun. They look pretty much the same today. But I liked the character you created wearing them. Yes he‘d wear them too.
I dunno, I they're old welder's safety glasses used in a tooling shop for work with small hand torches--the lenses look to be too dark to use on glacier climbs. The leather nose piece was just nose protection and doubled as a simple, cheap nose bridge without having to use more metal to make the glasses. They found several pairs, along with regular protective ones used against flying debris when you use things like that milling machine and the lathe. No one wants bits of metal flying into their eyes! :-)
It's good to see stuff other than clothes and rubbish going out of the house. You've made tremendous progress in just over a week. Loving this series as I think we all are. We want you to do well out of this.
Nice score on the coins. I love this hoarder house. One of the few that has mass amounts of collectible and treasures. I agree with Alex clothes are very time consuming. Wise choice to sell them as a lot to a another seller. ♥️
I love the hoarse house series. Mary’s house is what originally got me to subscribe. I loved the transformation! I stayed because you’re an interesting and kind hearted fellow. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow great find with the old dollar coins!! So glad you have great people to help you! Again massive inventory of everything! So much stuff still left in basement!!!
I think that I am more excited for the auction than I am for Christmas this year. I cannot believe how quickly the house is being emptied. I have to say my heart was in my mouth when you were moving the furniture. I was so worried that Hans might slip.
Sadly these coins were replicas :( too bad...
so sorry.... we were so excited for you!
Aww what a shame 😌
Oh no. What a burst bubble. I'm sorry Alex.
Aww...too bad. Why would they have them? 😟 love this series. Merry Christmas!! Enjoy your family this holiday! 🎅

They are reproductions.
I am waiting for one of you to accidentally lean on the hidden lever in the basement that causes the cabinets to move out of the way and reveals an entire wall of weaponry. LOL.

I love when Josh gets excited or inspiration strikes and he says OK 50 times.
Paul is so cool. What a great personality. I adore josh, Hans and xanovia are sweet. Alex you have such awesome friends.
Birds of a feather ♡
Judge a man by his friends, you won’t go far wrong. 😁
If Paul had his own channel, I'd certainly subscribe!
I was just about to write something like this, and your comment says it all! Yep. Good man with good friends. Nice people, all!
I think they all have their own channels and their own shops as well as etsy and wotnot!!
This lady basically had so much valuable stuff and now she’s blessing everyone who gets to sell it. That’s something to be happy about!
Alex to Hans: "Are you good?" Zenovia: "I think he is!" That is so lovely to hear!
❤❤❤
Please don’t put those old coins you just found in the basement in the auction. Please take your time to research the prices on each coin. That collection is worth way more than the 100 oz bar of silver! I’m so very happy you found them!!!!
Just the two coins in his hand are worth more than the bar of silver... though they need to be graded to know how much more.
He’s said before that he takes coins to coin dealers who know more than he does.
@@jakekatella If they are real, but I think, this are later fakes
I saw a 1796 Coin in there too...double the value of the other two combined.
ya that 1799 is worth a mint my grandfather would have already had that sent out to be graded i saw anywhere from $1500 (low end) to idk maybe as much as 10k maybe more depending on condition
Alex...
I just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!!
for having a
CLEAN CHANNEL !!!!!
NO swearing or off color anything....
THANK YOU !!!!!
CHANNELS like yours are extremely few and far between...
THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!
Merry Christmas.....

You missed the magazine that Josh found under the work table, then ..
This series is as good or better than the Potter House series. Great job!
Yes but this one will be over too soon since they aren't fixing the house.
Only thing that sucks is they won't have the renovation section!
@@poodlegirl55 Sorry, I just totally echoed you!
I'm just looking through the Potter, and this is SO much better. You learn as you go, I guess. Camera work is better, we see the people involved more. Yes, the owners too, after a fascion. (C what I did there?). I really love Hoarders, but this is not produced. This is LIFE. And this woman could put clothes on the whole cast of Queens Gambit!
@@poodlegirl55 It's a YT new angle to a rateing slump and economy crash kinda like storage wars was years back..I found a million $ in this here mountain of trash..jezz people, it's just cyber soap oprahs for the dim witted goodeltons of St. Luc Du Par/ Creator Content Domain...hwy. 61 make a wish foundation.
I think the Ballerina grew up in this house. Her father was a tailor; looks like her mother also sewed and did embroidery, knitting or crocheting. Probably the parents worked in the basement and made their little girl the playhouse with dolls and books so she could be with them but not underfoot while they worked. Then the parents died, she inherited the house and moved all her stuff in in neatly labelled boxes when she moved. Or possibly the parents walled off part of the basement and she stored stuff in there for years and then when they died, she moved in her clothing collection 'on top of' their stuff still in the basement.
I think we're looking at two generations of the same family's stuff in the basement.
Ballet at the age of three and piano at the age of five. Ballet was ended in an accident.
I share the same thoughts about this house. It's not just about the lady possessions but also about her parent's ones.
It looks like dad was a hoarder too, because of the layers upon layers of expensive tools, most of which have never been removed from their packaging or been used. And the shoes and the clothes on the bed upstairs too. That was probably his room before he passed. It seems like Madame Rac inherited this tendency.
I doubt she ever even left the home. This was probably all she ever knew.
I enjoyed the things Josh found. The way he takes a second to read some random paper that adds to the story, is more intriguing to me than just shuffling through things according to their value.
Good Morning Alex,
I just wanted to say thank you for all the enjoyable videos. My wife and both sit down to watch them together every time you post a new video. Also I have to say how much I admire Hans, Genovia and Josh what awesome people. I also have to comment about Josh coming all the way back and returning that couple of dollars he had found and forgotten about in the last video, what a honest young man! That impressed the heck out of both of us, most young people wouldn't have made that effort over a couple of bucks. Whomever raised that young man did a fine job.
I hope you continue to find lots of valuables to make all that time and hard work worth while.
My wife Denise and I would like to wish you all a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season, Merry Christmas to you all and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
I love Josh's creativity and I enjoy his TH-cam channel just as much as Curiosity Incorporated. His channel is called Joshua Alexander. Check it out, especially his video of painting the Joker. The video is a masterpiece in itself. Merry Christmas.
@@1962pjh Thanx for mentioning Josh's TH-cam Channel... I just subscribed.. and yes, I really admire that young man! Josh, you are an example to many young people out there! Your honesty will pay off big time in the end... God bless you, young man
Hans and Zenovia sure are hard workers!
Great filming too Zinovia!😊
For sure! It absolutely wouldn’t of happened as fast without them
Yes they are! They’re trustworthy too.
@@eileenw6002 they are good friends to have
Alex your mom has excellent taste. That desk/secretary is lovely.
Side note: you need to have tee with the titanium rabbit reference. WITH GOGGLES.
You know what the world needs? More Hans, Zenobia, Paul, Josh, and the rest of the crew. Couldn't ask for better people to help you. Nice haul too!
I love you all
Hans is such a good dude. Glad he found himself a perfect partner.
Alex, thank you for sharing this journey with us. I can’t decide whether it is fascinating, or horrifying. Clearly, the homeowner had a lovely home, nicely decorated, with many quality pieces of furniture and decor. The collections appear to have been put together well, but I. The end, it just became overwhelming. I think you have handled this clear out with respect and sensitivity. Well done to all.
It looks like they had a great place for raising kids. I wonder if they had a business/warehouse and when it closed, brought everything home. The way it’s all boxed, labeled and stacked is pretty meticulous.
It feels like the have hade a second home with lots of places and moved "home", like when you take over your childhood home when your parents leave earth, and you bring your clothes and personal stuff. And all the sudden you get tired of sorting and labels everything and it just start tu piling and piling more and more.
I have seen hove a hoarder person start to put in more and more things to a room, 5 tables and 11 chairs, too many sofas and thing on things and later unpacking things over and over. But here here, it is one bed, a chair, a make-up dressers and chair in a room and stuff, and stuff, and stuff.... when the stuff was gone, the room was ok.
Kind of.
I wonder who inherited all that Tiffany jewelry if there is no family left? Surely, there's a safe deposit box (or ten) somewhere loaded down with treasure. Too bad Alex didn't get to look through all the coat pockets and boxes of clothes. I'm sure treasure is probably hidden in those.
@@OldLadyInFL whoever is managing the estate had asked Alex to look for a key to a safe deposit box so there definitely is one! So far, no key.
@@carrieoakwood5896 Many people have suggested this, but I'm not sure much of it was new. Of course, we didn't get to see most of the clothing, but what we did see looked worn and collected. I could be wrong of course, but that stacking and labeling is sometimes how a hoard starts and then as people's mental illness gets worse and they get overwhelmed, it just starts to pile up everywhere randomly. I hope Alex can give us lots of information about the family when he's done in the house.
I love how no one will lose out on this. The owner of the property got 10.000 bucks and a clean property, the clothes person got a huge load of fur coats - still worth some money - plus endless supply of 60 and 70 clothing, which he will be able to sell well enough to make up for the 10.000 he paid you. You got your initial investment of 10.000 from him, and will get not only the money for the dumpsters back and the money for your work force, you will also earn a good penny or two on auction and the other items. And your friends Hans, Zenovia and Josh earn some money, get some tools - and all in all everybody wins!
Nobody got taken advantage of, everybody gains something.
If those silver coins are real, Alex is the one who comes out best, plus, there were lots of other coin collections and that silver bar. Let's just pray they're real. I wonder if he gets back anything that isn't clothes that Paul finds in that stash, like stuff in pockets, stashed in the boxes, etc.?
@@OldLadyInFL I hope they are real for Alex's sake. Wonder the same about stuff in pickets, we will see.
Alex is the one that worked the hardest in all of this.
Wonderful assessment!
@@chrismaraccini8108 And he took the risk.
I think they saw him coming....by a few emails.
Alex, even though I've never been to your store because I'm in PA I talk about you all the time under the title MY ANTIQUE GUY. I have a feeling that many of us feel that same way. Keep on being you. We love you and your friends.
Autumn Trautman I could have written this myself, down to the state!
Same!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from PA too love Alex's channel
I call them: "The Canadian family, Curiosity", you know. I talk about them like I have a crush on all of them. 😁 so I make sure I talk about Melissa time to time also so my husband don't think is true, about the crush on Alex and Josh. 😁😁😁
They are handsome men but its not why I follow them on TH-cam. Its so fun to see what they are up to. Finding fun and nice things and so talented. And so nice and heartwarming, all of them. Alex helped Adam and Hans. And Josh up to so much fun.
They are all so loving people. 💕
I am from Pennsylvania,too.
Josh finding the mill and how excited he got (like a kid on Christmas morning) made this episode for me. And the silver dollars he found for you also. Those should be quite valuable individually. I agree with some of the other commenters that they shouldn't be put in the auction. Take your time and find the right buyers. Merry Christmas everyone!
Loving this series so far! Though, a small tidbit, a mill is not the only machine that can copy itself, that honor belongs to a lathe. If all you have is a lathe you can build new lathes, but while a mill is great at milling straight it's not the best at making circles. Though, all of this is only true in the very most rudimentary sense. A lathe and a mill together though could make all parts required for either machine to build some high quality stuff. They're the right and left hand of any mechanical workshop. Having just one without the other is a handicap as far as what you can make.
The rotary table is a great find, worth as much if not more than the low quality mill you found. You also had a small one in the upstairs room. There are a lot of high quality tools scattered about, all love to Josh but when he says he doesn't know what he's talking about trust him on his word. You should take out all the obviously new bad quality stuff and haul it off to auction and then get someone who actually knows tools to look at the rest. There is a lot of money buried there, and sometimes in things you don't expect.
many of the 3D printer startups had their own printers, printing more parts for production. so there is another machine to be added to this list.
shut up
@@craftsoda you can't copy a 3D printer with a 3D printer though. You can make a lot of the parts for it, absolutely, but you cannot make motors or a hot end with it.
@@tempestnz1 aw, are you okay? Do you need a hug? Com'ere let moma give you a big hug and maybe you'll be less crabby in the future! 😄
Wow. You are very knowledgable. I read and re-read your comment. I'm enjoying this series so much too! Just subscribed to your channel! Pretty cool
I wanted to say thank you all for making me laugh and giggle during these hard times with Covid. Watching your videos are a great escape from the sad news 📰 on tv. Thank you !! Love ❤️ from USA 🇺🇸
I love Hans' voice -- he really should do some voice acting.
I just love Hans and Zenovia! His laugh and sense of humor are contagious.
If you’re thinking of donating the linens it’s worth checking local animals shelters to see if they need any 😊
Or seeing if there's a 'Love Quilts Canada' as they make quilts for very ill, and possibly dying, children and young adults and it's a volunteer organisation!!
I know there is a 'Love Quilts USA,' & 'Love Quilts UK.' The UK one made a quilt for my granddaughter.
They can take these to the hospitals with them!
...What a great idea. I used to donate paper towels, then I stopped because I'm trying to be a bit more green. But I never thought about my sad old sheets, and even some well worn curtains going to line some cages and clean some messes!
Alex you have been the 'instrument of change' not only for your family and yourself but now, for some exceptional people. I think you have all become celebrities for the world to look upon and admire. You truly are an amazing person. Keep the daddy jokes coming too, I love them.
My husband told me the history on the name Zenovia. She married Conan the barbarian. I love watching everyone. Your videos are great!
Thanks for the History Lesson😉
Merry Christmas🎅🤶🎄To You and Your Family
@@nancyposey9466 Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Uhm - Conan the barbarian - was a fictional character.
But the name Zenovia is a sideform of the name Zenobia - which is old Greek and means "one whose life derives from Zeus. There was a historical person, too, who was named Zenobia. And I have just looked it up on Wikipedia, no expertise necessary.
Oh thats great Kellie,I was going to look that up.Happy Christmas.
Did you actually put "history" and "Conan the barbarian" in one sentence in a non-ironical way? I'm a bit speechless right now.
....that desk you're Mum wants, is often referred to as a 'Secretary Desk With Hutch', and it's a real beauty!
I just checked on the price of one of those old US silver dollars and the one from 1800 is worth about $3,800 us price all by itself. You hit the jackpot!!!!!
Awesome find for sure!! 1700 to 1800 wow
That's good they need a score with all the time invested going through everything, dumpsters, moving things, then still have to pay % at auction for fees. Hope they keep finding more. Think he said early on a garage still? Not sure.
Possibly. It all depends on grading. I'm sure Alex will get these graded as the difference between Fine and Very Fine is $1000 to $3500. I'm curious to learn more about the Chinese and possibly Japanese coins even though they don't have nearly the same value.
Unfortunately the coins are reproductions. There are still collectors who will buy them as reproductions, but they aren't worth what the originals would be.
@@DevonianDave How could you know that just from the short clip he showed?
I so enjoy watching your treasure hunt. And your helpers are amusing as are your jokes! Lol
Where did my crystal bead curtains go? Whew! I spoke too soon, there they are. Hopefully they’re being saved. When we first met Hans, even though he was a little down on his luck, he was still a happy, positive person, doing good for others. He’s still that person, but seems so much happier. I have really enjoyed watching him and Zinovia. (I apologize if I’m spelling your name wrong.) They both seem so happy and he keeps her smiling. Hans and the wigs was hilarious!
Omg, Alex. After Josh finds silver coins - “Maybe I should have ordered the large pizza.”
Also, Josh "I found a plane" Alex "was it in plain sight? Josh "No, I found it under here" whoosh
I was thinking it better be a Hawaiian with pepperoni! Or bacon.
It’s great to see Hans looking so vibrant and healthy. And Josh got so excited about the mill machine. Great find. Getting there, it’s a massive improvement. With this woman’s original organization skills, I’d bet any valuables were in a safe deposit box. She kept her purses empty, no really costly stuff in her jewelry box so it has to be somewhere safe. This is a woman who continued to collect change and kept her precious clothes fairly well organized and protected. This isn’t like the Potter House but there are parallels. Both women were talented and passionate. Thx Alex and company.👏👏
After 47 moves in my adult life- take the drawers out before toting a dresser. Less weight makes it worth going back for the drawers
I was thinking the same thing ! I've only moved 4 times in my life tho , I even left my clothes in the drawers and put the whole drawer in a bag on the trailer to keep from having to pack the clothes back in once we got there.
I've moved more times than I can count. I learned that lesson too.
Definitely
And look for envelopes packed with cash taped to the bottom of the drawers
Agree. Leaving the drawers in is what my grandmother called 'the lazy man's load'.
i was just thinking Melissa's dad would have loved this house. God Bless him and im sure he is missed. Merry Christmas to all!!
I like the little glimpse of him in the intro, not forgotten.
@@lizbrown7232 Me too. I remember when he was the brave one to open that fridge! What a great guy. This will be a tough 1st Christmas for the family without him.
Dave is missed. I hope Melissa and the family only remembered the happy memories this past holiday season.
Alex has a huge generous heart. I feel like I know him and the crew personally after watching all of these. The Potter's House sold me to subscribe. Alex rescued Mary's legacy. I think her soul rests easier now because of it. I'd like to know more about Paul. Does he have any social media? All of this makes me want to move to Canada.
Your attitude is great, Alex! You are not as easily overwhelmed as I would be...and not as greedy as I would be (hate to say that). Glad to see the auction house starting to fill up! If you still have ALL the fabric that was in the house, I hope to see it broken up into at least 4 lots for optimum payout. I'm no pro, so I don't know. Your attitude toward Mark's gain is very commendable/admirable. You are out for adventure...and some profit, so hopefully it is a satisfying project in both aspects. I keep thinking about all the money and jewels that are getting away, but hey, life is very short and YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! Lots of fun to watch. Looks like it will all be worthwhile. Absolute best wishes!!
I’ve been recovering from surgery and these videos have been something to look forward to while I work to get better!!❤️
Me too.
I hope you get better soon 🌷🌷🌷.
Me too! Get well soon. I'm about to have my 4th surgery this year.
Same here! Doctors seem to love scheduling these things over Christmas.
All of you....get well soon, happy holidays and be safe.
As a collector of silver dollars, I think I screamed loud enough for the neighbors to hear down the block when you pulled out those old silver dollars! That was very exciting!!! LOVING THIS SERIES!!!!
Ha ha I hope they didn't call the cops lol. Happy holiday's.
unfortunately, they are reproductions. may still be silver though..
I appreciate the respect shown to the person who left all this behind.
OMG, How I love it when Hans is on! Josh's enthusiasm is so cute to watch and Paul, the dancing machine is great . You know all the very best people.
Was waiting for the doctor to return to exam room when I got this notification... do I watch? Do I wait?
Doctor came in had to tell him all about you- he promised to watch later
I’m having an ultrasound, just showed the tech, she’ll watch later too!
Good to see H & Z..they are both hard workers. Josh is always eager to help you with whatever you need him to do. They are ALL a joy to watch. 🤠💜🎅
I think you were smart to sell the clothes in one big lot, it would have taken another 20 years to sort and clean them and probably 20 more to sell.
I know right! There was so much clothing it was unbelievable 😮! It would have taken me a century to go through all that and another to sell everything. It's one less HUGE headache for Alex to deal with.
@@TheMeloettaful and very small size
Hard to sell
I think that Mark will easily make his money back with the purses that he got.
Josh finds letter from person in prison, describing monotony of view, absence of freedom, followed by the funniest thing you've ever said: "Sounds like how Stephen or Jason would describe living in our house."
Seeing and hearing Josh being so excited is amazing!
☺️☺️
It would be cool to check back in with the clothing guy in a couple of months and see how he’s doing processing all the clothes . I was curious if he has purchased big lots like this before etc.
I would be interested to see this too - maybe a whole video
That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday, I was trying to see if he has a youtube channel, I would watch every episode of all of the unboxing, processing etc. I think it would be so fascinating!
@@michelleb4209 I believe Paul (the 'rock and roll dancing guy) had said in another video that Mark (the clothing guy) doesn't have a TH-cam channel. But we really should keep encouraging him to make one! I'd watch every video of sorting through the clothes that he wanted to make. And I have ZERO interest in fashion, lol.
Paul is SINGLE 😋😳🙀
I want those floral Hawaiian crocks!
You should run a metal detector with X-ray abilities all along al the walls! Who knows what might be hidden in them! 😄
Yes! I think the guns are hidden in the walls😳
Said that the other day. They have ones that can differentiate between different types of metals.
Yes! I was thinking that too!
Yep. I said yesterday my grandma had money hid between house wall and added wall in basement. And purses, shoes, sewing stuff, just everywhere.
In the ceilings too. The attic didnt show the whole top of the house
Alex don't forget about the hidden door in the bedroom closet to the attic space that had stuff in it.
Hans and Zinovia do a fantastic job!!! They are hard trustworthy workers!!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
At 43:08 That is an "accounting machine". I remember these still being used back in the early 1970's. I used to go into the shoe factory where my Dad was an industrial mechanic and tool and die maker on Saturdays when I was a kid and help him with various things he was working on. Fetching stuff and so on. I remember eating my lunch at a desk in an office when I was 6 or 7 years old and being told not to touch the accounting machine. I found things like that fascinating. It was high technology at that time.
The "Excel" of those years ..
I've heard it called a Comptometer.
@@kellescope2887 Yes. I believe your right. We just called them accounting machines but the technical name is comptometer I think.
So am I the only one that wants to grab a pint with Hans? That dude is great!
What about dressing up as a viking and then out on the town
How likely would it be that out of almost 350.000 subscribers to this channel you'd be the only one wanting to drink with Hans?
That Sucrets box in the tool box after the 43 minute mark really brought back memories. My dad had plenty in his tool boxes. He liked to consume the lozenges, and then the metal boxes were perfect for storing all kinds of little things. Thanks, Alex et al.
My mom kept her sewing pins in them.
For sure, both my parents tossed little items in them, everything from tacks and nails to coins and jewelry.
Once the rooms are empty you see how massive they are and then you realize how much stuff was really in them for them to seem so small. And seriously, I am so curious and compulsive that I would open and read and look at everything. It would take me years to clean that house out. I’m amazed at how fast you’re working.
I love Hans ands his wife. They’re so much fun.
I could care less about tools but hearing Josh get so excited about the finds is fun anyway :)
This essentially shows the danger of having money to buy tools etc for hobbies but then not enough interest/time to actually use them. At least these things will now get used.
Alex, I know that between this house and editing for TH-cam, you probably have been working insanely long hours. Take 2-3 days off man! Enjoy Christmas! You’ve got like 6 weeks left. 😆
I wouldn't, people watching these videos would know it's not being worked on and could break in, seems Alex is not too lucky on that front.
He has to have the auction items into Kastner's by early January.
I agree, but I couldn't go that long not watching an episode!
If there are quilts in the linen closets they can sell for premium money. They are worth looking into. Even the 1970s polyester ones are trendy to collect right now.
And those vintage bedding items
Especially the unopened ones
I absolutely love this series..Hans and Zenovia are such treasures..so hardworking people, and always happy..my favourites!
Just finished watching and i'm ready for part 11 already. :)
Hi from Sydney Australia. It has been a joy watching you uncover what this lady’s house has hidden and still more to be found I am sure!
I know I’m from USA 🇺🇸 and enjoying it too
I have stayed up for this video. I’m down in Victoria,Australia and it’s about 2am. I found your channel when I was living in Alberta a few years back. My husband was working on a ranch on hwy 22 near Chain Lakes. We loved our time there and I hope to be able to get back to visit again soon.
Hey, me too! I’m in Sydney. Kept holding out on sleep hoping Alex would post 🤪
@@debgamble8368 stay safe in Sydney - hopefully on top of the outbreak there soon. So impressed with testing numbers. You guys rock.

I am HOOKED on this series! It's not only the process and your business goals, etc. Getting things in order is very satisfying...every step of progress you make (like the floor becoming visible!!!) relieves some sort of stress in me. Funny how that works, but perhaps that's one of the reasons hoarder situations are popular viewing. I also think that family must have been very talented, educated and interesting!
My husband who is a machinist said all those tap and die sets are for threading holes and are worth about $40- $70 a piece depending on what shape they are in. Great find!
Funny Alex- Josh found a planer Tool - Alex said to Josh - “Did you find it is plain sight” - it went straight over Josh’s head: 🤣🤣🤣
Alex with the Dad jokes. Lol
@@Oglulubell Hey, he is a Dad, he must make such jokes - it comes with the job description.
I was waiting for Alex to say something to him or giggle about it. I’m sure Joshes brain was going 100 miles per minute..
@@StuckinMO Yea just like unshucked cobs..there corny...
I think Josh just doesn't react to every single joke Alex makes anymore lol
"All I needed to do is move a couple more things" Josh famous quotes

You have absolutely the right attitude about the clothes. I couldn’t agree more with you that you made the best decision
Love how Josh gets excited about pieces of wood.
Perfect!! Its dumping here in Calgary and no better way to start a snow day with another episode of this series...Cheers!! P.s. I'm so glad Hans was able to upgrade his work truck. He so deserves it!!
I'm subscribed to CBC Edmonton and I checked the map yesterday when that awful forecast came out. I'm thanking my lucky stars that hasn't happened to us yet this winter. It will. Not a matter of IF but WHEN. I don't think you guys have the wind there that we have in Iowa? Even a foot of snow can create drifts too high to drive through.
That storm is headed here (southern MB) next. It’s like hearing from the future, reading your comment. 🤣
Love this content and the consistent updates/uploads. Thanks for all the great videos! Know you gotta be tired!
My pleasure:)
Hi from Melbourne, Australia. I couldn’t click on this video quickly enough, even though it was 2am. I am completely hooked on this series and can’t get enough of it. Thank you for taking us along on the adventure, Alex. Until tomorrow, I am going to get some sleep. 😘💕😴🇦🇺
I've enjoyed watching this hoarder house series. I also enjoy all the witty banter between everyone. It's great that everyone gets along well and you have honest and trustworthy people helping.
So happy you found treasure! Awesome video I could watch you all day long! The old vintage flooring in the boxes you could sell to a antique salvage store, it's great for people renovating old homes who may need just a few replacements pieces. Love the curio cabinet and settee they looked ever better in the action house light. I cant wait to hear about this womens and her story. It seems since I've started this journey with you I can not get her out of my mind. Take care.
At 13:51, Josh pulls out a little manual drill and another thing still in the package. That other thing is a graphite marble mold! If I lived closer, I'd take that off your hands for you. I'll keep watching to see if there's more flameworking equipment--I know a couple beadmakers in Canada who may be interested.
Hans just has a way of making you smile 😁
17:25 !!!
Those glasses are gold. Not metallic gold. Gold as in much sought after. The steam punk community will climb all over each other to purchase those.
That's what I was thinking. Are those early welding glasses? I saw another pair in the chest tool box. I don't think it was the same pair as the others were in a box of safety glasses and goggles.
Those glasses, a top hat, and Queen Victoria. Now that's a party!
As a steampunk lover myself ... i had goosbumps and giggled like a kid lol
I really wanna buy those...
Absolutely. I know several people who would leap at them.
There's probably The Holy Grail, Ark Of The Covenant a lost Van Gogh and an unreleased Beatles album still to be found yet.
And somehow a missing copy of the United States Declaration of Independence.
Maybe Cleopatra's mummified body will be in there somewhere too.
Hallo Alex,
you wear those glasses when you climb a glacier to protect eyes and nose from the sun. They look pretty much the same today. But I liked the character you created wearing them. Yes he‘d wear them too.
I dunno, I they're old welder's safety glasses used in a tooling shop for work with small hand torches--the lenses look to be too dark to use on glacier climbs. The leather nose piece was just nose protection and doubled as a simple, cheap nose bridge without having to use more metal to make the glasses. They found several pairs, along with regular protective ones used against flying debris when you use things like that milling machine and the lathe. No one wants bits of metal flying into their eyes! :-)
It's good to see stuff other than clothes and rubbish going out of the house. You've made tremendous progress in just over a week. Loving this series as I think we all are. We want you to do well out of this.
Nice score on the coins. I love this hoarder house. One of the few that has mass amounts of collectible and treasures.
I agree with Alex clothes are very time consuming. Wise choice to sell them as a lot to a another seller. ♥️
I love the hoarse house series. Mary’s house is what originally got me to subscribe. I loved the transformation! I stayed because you’re an interesting and kind hearted fellow. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow great find with the old dollar coins!! So glad you have great people to help you! Again massive inventory of everything! So much stuff still left in basement!!!
I may have just watched all 10 parts in one sitting......Looking forward to the next one :D
I think that I am more excited for the auction than I am for Christmas this year. I cannot believe how quickly the house is being emptied. I have to say my heart was in my mouth when you were moving the furniture. I was so worried that Hans might slip.
Same here. Christmas is a letdown this year... 😔😷
"I decided I wanted to become an artist and not make any money". Alternately laughing and crying while nodding in agreement.
machinist here, machining is a art if you ask me.
@@theusedbox Absolutely!
Well, I ended up in teaching....where many of us eventually go...
God Bless Teachers❤️🙏🏻
I love how Alex is struggling to carry stuff, barely catching his breath, and still cracking jokes along the way :D
I just watched the story of Hans getting his house. He is such a wonderful soul.
I really like seeing Hans, Zonvia and Josh helping with this project. Hard work but making it fun. 🎄🎄😷😷🥰🥰
