I'd recommend bringing in a locksmith to open the safe. Be sure to take pictures of the safe and the identifying placards on it to make their job a lot easier. The reason you want a locksmith is that they can make you a new key for it, and any sensitive papers inside the safe (including possible cash) isn't going to get burned if you use a cutting torch to cut into the safe. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I have always wanted to find an old building like that and do what you're doing. I'm going to enjoy the entire process. Thanks for bringing us all along.
Wow Emma, you have found a great treasure box there!!Repurpose things !!! Decor, crafts and other other large items can be used for storage, unique furniture etc. Don't rush, you have the rest of your life to make it your home. I love to see the younger girls use tools to put their own stamp on life. I enjoyed your enthusiasm in the last 2 videos so I decided to watch you on this journey! Reselling items to fund your dream is a great idea but remember. Unique little things can be made into bigger beautiful ideas. I wish you all the luck Emma!!
Since there are two key slots on the safe, it probably has another key and they must be turned at the same time to unlock. Like a safe deposit box. Good luck, hope you find it. 🙂
Just a suggestion for the safe... Some people suggested oil, etc. which would be good but you might want to take the key to a locksmith and get a duplicate cut and use that one to work with keeping the original safe. Last thing you need is for the old key to break in the lock.
Old paper of almost any kind is valuable to the right person. It's a market. What you have is called ephemera. It is any example of something perishable that represents or documents a specific place and time. It is worth saving. Make sure you keep it someplace cool and dry. When you're ready, you might photograph it and put on line for sale. Just a suggestion.
Old glass botles, jars, & dishes break with extreme temperatures... likely the bottles heated up in sun and then cooled too fast in evening. There are folks who collect all types bottles. Some are worth a few dollars; some value in 10s, some hundreds, and some are worth considerable more. At 6:20, can't tell size...looks like a piece of antique fretwork or furniture. 16:45, flour bin from a Hoosier cabinet. The last safe about that size with a key I saw in an antique mall was a about $2,000. You can cut it open if you choose. Or you can apply some lock oil & get someone to help you who is more mechanically minded.
Be careful that shelf system doesn't fall over on you as you uncover it. It looks to be quite rickety. That thing you asked about appears to be an old built in flour sifter from something like a Hoosier Cabinet. It would be cool if you could find the rest of it. Merry Christmas and best regards from Indiana.
Fabulous room your going through! A good idea first would be please get a simple cheap box Fan. This you would put in the rear or side blowing out, while the Front door brings in fresh air. This will remove that musty smell from the wood and debris along with neutralize any new growth of any mold anywhere plus the fresh air will be nice to breathe.. I did what you’re doing for a family member. He was tedious, but very rewarding.. make piles, firewood, dumpster garbage , to be refinished or reused… I see a lot of beautiful antique things in there that should be saved and sold or kept. Best wishes look forward to watching your discoveries!
Enjoying the content , a clean floor workspace is always the first thing to do to prevent hurting yourself and it gives better look at what needs to be done. Great stuff, almost everything is salvageable. 😎
I worked in agriculture for many years and enjoy that you are showing us as you renovate! I would be very interest in bidding on items and also when you are done coming to see the final result I am in NC
The metal rectangles with the flapper in them are the vent/damper from a stove vent a hood they open when you turn the fan on, and gravity close when its off to keep drafts from coming in the kitchen. Emma be brave, just get in your elevator and go for it. those old rope pull elevators a fun. We have two old buildings here in town with them in em, would love to see the upstairs.
Love your channel ❤️ I would love to have the soda can 😊 (Mountain Dew ) Enjoy your adventure and all your new Discoveries .Thanks for bringing me along.
That's an adding machine not a calculator. If the Mountain Dew can has the type of ring pull that stays attached to the can it is at least 40 years old. The ring pull detaching cans were discontinued because in parts of Canada they found geese which had ring pulls on their beaks and were starving because they could not detach them.😊
You have a lot of work ahead of you. Some very cool things being found. Maybe some of them could be in the house once it's finished. You could frame some of the documents etc, even the newspaper. I think Derek @ViceGripGarage might like that old vice grip sign thing.
You definitely have a lot of sorting to do...what to keep, what to throw away. We in America have gone through some really tough times. People during post Civil war really used everything,then people valued things,especially during the Great Depression,then WW1,WWII that building certainly looks post Civil war era. That's where the hoarding comes in,those generations really learned it. Ladies saved every scrap of material from wagon train days to really 1950's. My Mom didn't save too much old material but she was sparing with any new material,she made some of my clothes in the 1960's. If any was left it was doll clothes next. Her mother had made quilts out of every scrap. My Dad's mom,too,she also gardened and home canned, kept a root cellar and chickens. Prepping wasn't a trend,it was necessary to survival on a farm. You have really bought a piece of history on that property. I'm sure you may gather a lot of attention. You are a sweet person,too,take care! I'm watching this Christmas eve,so Merry Christmas.🎄🎀
Its pretty interesting watching your vision come into fruition step by step. I love the respect and love you have for the history and life of this old building and that you are willing to take the time to re use and preserve the old things you come across. Do you write and record the music in these videos?
I’ve just found your channel but I’m very excited to see what you do with this building and how you may incorporate things into it! Thanks for sharing!
Emma, those short pieces of wood can be wall covering in a living area. It is very popular these days….if you can’t get enough for all your walls, you can use it for an accent wall.
My cousin brought an old building downtown in blacksheart GA it was built in 1925 an old hardware and feed store she turning it into a bookstore/flower shop/coffee shop so far she found over 10,000 .00 worth of antiques she sold at an auction
Cool finds. When you get things more organized take some time to take pictures and document things. While the peed on papers will have to be trashed, it would be interesting to have records of them. Hope that you remember your mask next time. I am sure that your Dad will find uses for any nice wood that you find. Happy Holidays!
Oh , you have your work cut out for you ! But on the other hand it's really fun exploring the past !! I would say that's a flour sifter , i have a similar one tucked in a kitchen cabinet ! Merry Christmas 🎄 !!
You're right about that flour sifter that would have been in a Hoosier Cabinet or just installed somewhere in an area where the store would have stored, sifted & sold fresh ground flour. I wish I was there, what fun. Enjoy, but may I suggest that you were a mask in case of mold or other toxins. Have fun & blessings for this new journey.
Your "mail slot" is actual an exhaust vent damper for over the stove to keep vermin and drafts out. it goes inline of the exhaust duct work. Look up Range Hood Vent Damper. The Mountain Dew can in not old, that's aluminum and the old ones where steel with pull tabs and didn't appear until 1964. The metal thing that you asked about is a flour hopper from a Hoosier cabinet. What over questions you got?
I subscribed to your channel I built a home on the 2nd floor of a hardware store myself the first floor is a store for me. I suggest thinking about doing that yourself as if you leave the first floor open you can use it for events and a studio for yourself and it looks like you have lot of space on the 2nd floor. someday I would like to make a makerspace on the first floor but having a open room like that would be very useful for filming projects and events.
Yes stamps arw backwards, that's how they work. Get duplicates made of the key, spray wd-40 in the keyhole to lubricate it. It's undoubtedly rusted and dusty.
My dream was to find something like you found n restore it. I love history n antiques. You’ve got yourself a winner there. Of course for me I’d never get anything done as to busy going through everything n loving the history of the whole building. On the safe… try squirting WD40 into the key area. That might help. ♥️🥰👍
The Mountain Dew can is aluminum and has the wrong tab to be from 1955. It's much newer than 55. Beverage cans from the 50s were tin and rusted out after a while. Also, food items from that era didn't have "best buy" dates stamped on them.
The mountain dew can isn't that old, I believe that started those types of tabs in the 70's. The old tabs you pulled off the can and tossed away. I remember making neckless out of the old can tabs.
You can definitely open that safe. It might take two keys, some times you have to push or pull the key once it gets to a certain point, things like that.
Your property probably has some old outhouses where folks would throw bottles and other items in over time. You could find a local treasure hunter that has a probe to locate them and do a excavation.
Generally dividing your trash in plastics, metals, wood, cardboard, white glas, stained glass, etc is a good thing. We in the Netherlands🇳🇱 have Statiegeld or 25cents on every plastic bottle and even sodacans so people don't just throw those away, but they get recycled instead after being turned in and collected. We've been doing this for over 5 decades here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, its standard practice.
That old adding machine would be a great restoration project for a collector. Also, you might need to get a locksmith to drill out the lock on the old safe.
I definitely won't be throwing any of the old paperwork away! Unless it's severely damaged. I'm planning to sell it down the road to help fund the renovation and allow people to keep a part of the history and project if they want to :)
Hi girl i hope you had a good Christmas and new years eve and day and I'm in Arkansas and I was wondering when your next video is going to be out i like seeing what you find and all the cleaning i also like organizing
Old manuals are invaluable to vehicle restorers, don’t throw anything away until you’ve had a chance to research it. Also sets if paper ephemera sells well for scrapbooking etc. Box it up and store it somewhere rodent free and dry.
Your going to be cleaning for years if your going to examine every piece of paper and bottles you come across. Treasure hunting is fun i know, one mans junk is another mans treasure, but there's a lot of trash in there also. Great video ,enjoyed watching. Happy hunting and Happy New Year.
Hey Emma, i gotYdirected to your channel when you stayed in oklahoma, my home state, I was glad you enjoyed your stay, and you were treated nicel. it's' what we are known for. I have degree in history but im always a student of history, so your general store, i think, is awesome, I noticed your make america great again hat, since I'm an okie, of course. I'm a Trump supporter follower. I have bought, sold, traded, collected antiques, and you said bottles, alot of people collect them, and if you find, coke, pepsi, old cork bottles with parmacys names are all popular. Your doors your replacing. You might just cut the rotted part off and then use what's left as tables. Enjoy watching your progress, keep it up.
Great ideas! I'm definitely keeping all bottles, and a few people have noted that I may be able to save the doors, so I will try and do that. Glad you're here!
You could try some spray rust remover and lubricant into the lock of your safe and let it soak for a while before you try to use the key. You don't want to break it off in the lock. Old safe might be worth a little money so I wouldn't cut it open only as a last resort. It might be of use as a safe for you later on. As a last resort, a locksmith should be able to get a key lock open
If that Sunrise bottle were green with the red and white label it sold for $100 +shipping this month. The short clear glass sold for $5-6. Sometimes things that look like garbage are worth a lot of money so be careful what you toss in the trash even if it is a rusty piece of iron.
Here's a hint, IF the safe can be pulled out then it can be easy to remove the back of the safe from there. Many old safes are solid except for the back bc their weight and heavy duty locking faceplate or door was often the reason they were more impenetrable. The backs often had thin sheet metal which was easy to get into. The battle was moving them to be able to access the back.
Also IF you manage to find a solid piece backing. DO NOT cut into it! Call a locksmith. Many old ones are fireproofed with asbestos! Do not disturb it!
Hi Emma just a small suggestion clean one set of your wall shelves and put the things you want to keep there so the cold or water doesn't Crack or destroy them + put set of gloves+ a mask in your purse.You'er doing OK
Don't take the Texaco sign off the wood it's mounted. The whole piece is a collectible.
The flour sifting thing is just that. It's part of a Hoosier Cabinet. It was kind of an all in one baking cabinet from the early 1900's
Worth money
Yes, that’s what it was. Flour sifter from Hoosier Cabinet
Actually it is for when they sell it they sift it when they would sell it. People usually bring in their own bag or jar or whatever.
I'd recommend bringing in a locksmith to open the safe. Be sure to take pictures of the safe and the identifying placards on it to make their job a lot easier. The reason you want a locksmith is that they can make you a new key for it, and any sensitive papers inside the safe (including possible cash) isn't going to get burned if you use a cutting torch to cut into the safe. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I have always wanted to find an old building like that and do what you're doing. I'm going to enjoy the entire process. Thanks for bringing us all along.
you can save the old paper and make a wall with the old paper on it, its old history from the store or building
That would be super cool!!
I live in Carrsville and have seen that building many times. Thank you for saving it
Wow Emma, you have found a great treasure box there!!Repurpose things !!! Decor, crafts and other other large items can be used for storage, unique furniture etc. Don't rush, you have the rest of your life to make it your home.

Reselling items to fund your dream is a great idea but remember. Unique little things can be made into bigger beautiful ideas. I wish you all the luck Emma!!
The old books are a treasure! Don’t throw those away!
Indeed! There are many collectors out there who would give their left arm for some of those old instruction manuals.
Since there are two key slots on the safe, it probably has another key and they must be turned at the same time to unlock. Like a safe deposit box. Good luck, hope you find it. 🙂
Just a suggestion for the safe...
Some people suggested oil, etc. which would be good but you might want to take the key to a locksmith and get a duplicate cut and use that one to work with keeping the original safe. Last thing you need is for the old key to break in the lock.

Your old friend brings a good energy to the project. I hope she returns to help more.

Yes, I do have a Hoosier cabinet in there tucked away behind some "junk", and it matches the paint on the sifter. Good call! Merry Christmas!

Really great idea. I'm on it! Thank you! :)
You could use the wooden pieces to make picture frames for stuff you find along the way.
Enjoying the content , a clean floor workspace is always the first thing to do to prevent hurting yourself and it gives better look at what needs to be done. Great stuff, almost everything is salvageable. 😎
Did you ever look on the second floor to see what's there? I came back to check for that content. Keep up the good work and be safe!
All that stuff would be like a gold mine.your place looks so cool . from Dave from Australia 🦘
Thanks, Dave from Australia! I'm having the best time ever exploring!!
That square box is a flour bin that is part of a Hoosier cabinet
I worked in agriculture for many years and enjoy that you are showing us as you renovate! I would be very interest in bidding on items and also when you are done coming to see the final result I am in NC

Yep oven hood or microwave vent
Love your channel ❤️
I would love to have the soda can 😊
(Mountain Dew )
Enjoy your adventure and all your new Discoveries .Thanks for bringing me along.
Wow, you proved me wrong! The Mountain Dew can might still be around somewhere haha... I'll check and see :)
What a treasure you have. The old papers are something junk journal makers would buy. The old bed head board would make a terrific bench back.
This is so much fun ❤ can’t wait to see if it’s haunted 🤣🤣🤣 👻
I definitely thought it was for a minute.. time will tell 😂👻
That's an adding machine not a calculator. If the Mountain Dew can has the type of ring pull that stays attached to the can it is at least 40 years old. The ring pull detaching cans were discontinued because in parts of Canada they found geese which had ring pulls on their beaks and were starving because they could not detach them.😊
I find watching your videos truly relaxing

6:50 all that glass looks to be from louvered (AKA jalousie) windows.
Looking forward to watching your progress! ❤
Well, 14 minutes in and nothing's really progressed yet.
Going to be a long while. . .
Rome wasn't built in a day :)
How rude! You carry on as you are, chucky seems to be an impatient man.😮
Its pretty interesting watching your vision come into fruition step by step. I love the respect and love you have for the history and life of this old building and that you are willing to take the time to re use and preserve the old things you come across. Do you write and record the music in these videos?
Thank you so much! Yes, some of the music is mine, although I only use it sparingly to keep from getting a copyright claim :)
I’ve just found your channel but I’m very excited to see what you do with this building and how you may incorporate things into it! Thanks for sharing!
Just found your account & I am obsessed! I’m binge watching them all now! 🥰
Spray the key holes with PB Blaster and let it sit a while..
6:38 That glass looks like it is from a Jalousie door or window.
Emma, those short pieces of wood can be wall covering in a living area. It is very popular these days….if you can’t get enough for all your walls, you can use it for an accent wall.

That's my DREAM. Good for her! If it was closer to town I would absolutely do that 🥹
Sometime you should take us on a walk on the tobacco heritage trail.
That tin contraption came out of a Hoosier cabinet. All the rage at one time for the modern kitchen. They also had a sugar bin.
That big metal thing is for a flour holder/shoot for a hoosier kitchen cabinet. There were drawers for onions and potaoes too.
Love all the treasures!
Merry Christmas Emma and your father.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Cool finds. When you get things more organized take some time to take pictures and document things. While the peed on papers will have to be trashed, it would be interesting to have records of them.
Hope that you remember your mask next time.
I am sure that your Dad will find uses for any nice wood that you find.
Happy Holidays!
You are making progress!
Oh , you have your work cut out for you ! But on the other hand it's really fun exploring the past !!
I would say that's a flour sifter , i have a similar one tucked in a kitchen cabinet !
Merry Christmas 🎄 !!
Merry Christmas!! I think you're right - I think it goes in the Hoosier cabinet tucked away behind more stuff for me to clean out 😂
You're right about that flour sifter that would have been in a Hoosier Cabinet or just installed somewhere in an area where the store would have stored, sifted & sold fresh ground flour.

You're on it! Thanks! I'm sure I will find many more things and have no clue what they are so... you should stick around :)
Keep the old windows for the green house
I subscribed to your channel I built a home on the 2nd floor of a hardware store myself the first floor is a store for me. I suggest thinking about doing that yourself as if you leave the first floor open you can use it for events and a studio for yourself and it looks like you have lot of space on the 2nd floor. someday I would like to make a makerspace on the first floor but having a open room like that would be very useful for filming projects and events.
the massey fergason manual is a collectors item. preserve it at all costs. folks collect manuals.
Use the wall shelves for sorting things until you have boxes.
Yes stamps arw backwards, that's how they work.
Get duplicates made of the key, spray wd-40 in the keyhole to lubricate it. It's undoubtedly rusted and dusty.
It's a sifter. It was used to fill small bags of flower, suger or grains.
Absolutely gorgeous voice!!! Would love to hear more of that!!!
My dream was to find something like you found n restore it. I love history n antiques. You’ve got yourself a winner there. Of course for me I’d never get anything done as to busy going through everything n loving the history of the whole building.
On the safe… try squirting WD40 into the key area. That might help. ♥️🥰👍
Look in school supplies and get some vinyl sheets to slide paper work in and put in note book. Keep it all together.
I like that texaco sign on the door I use to have the same sign
The Mountain Dew can is aluminum and has the wrong tab to be from 1955. It's much newer than 55. Beverage cans from the 50s were tin and rusted out after a while. Also, food items from that era didn't have "best buy" dates stamped on them.
The headboard can be turned into a bench!
The mountain dew can isn't that old, I believe that started those types of tabs in the 70's. The old tabs you pulled off the can and tossed away. I remember making neckless out of the old can tabs.
You can definitely open that safe. It might take two keys, some times you have to push or pull the key once it gets to a certain point, things like that.
Your property probably has some old outhouses where folks would throw bottles and other items in over time. You could find a local treasure hunter that has a probe to locate them and do a excavation.
Cheers to mom! ❤
Cheers 🥹☕️💗
I just discovered your channel, I think what you’re doing is super cool. Did you purchase that old building? What part of the country are you in?
The metal bin was / a calke/ cake feeder its like a farming feeder its goes on bottom off food bin machin to add extra food x
Generally dividing your trash in plastics, metals, wood, cardboard, white glas, stained glass, etc is a good thing.
We in the Netherlands🇳🇱 have Statiegeld or 25cents on every plastic bottle and even sodacans so people don't just throw those away, but they get recycled instead after being turned in and collected.
We've been doing this for over 5 decades here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, its standard practice.
We have been talking about it for about 30 years and still nothing has happened!😊
It’s a flour bin with sifter that most likely came out of a Hoosier cabinet.
The drawer with the sifter usually would go in a Hoozer cabinet where people would sift flour and make biscuits
That old adding machine would be a great restoration project for a collector.
Also, you might need to get a locksmith to drill out the lock on the old safe.
That Massey owners manual is worth anywhere from $15 to $50 i would guess. big market for vintage farm equipment manuals.
That's great to know, thank you!
Yes looks like a flour sifter from an old Hoosier cabinet
I have an old kitchen queen in my house that has a flour sifter in it. The one you found, looks like the one I have…just bigger 🙂
The Massey Ferguson book would be special to someone who owns a Massey or collects agricultural ephemera. I hope you don’t throw it away.
I definitely won't be throwing any of the old paperwork away! Unless it's severely damaged. I'm planning to sell it down the road to help fund the renovation and allow people to keep a part of the history and project if they want to :)
Hi girl i hope you had a good Christmas and new years eve and day and I'm in Arkansas and I was wondering when your next video is going to be out i like seeing what you find and all the cleaning i also like organizing
Flour bin from a Hooser cabinet. An old baking cabinet.
The Massey Ferguson catalog is something I would bid on where and when will you be selling so we can help out
it IS a flour sifter from inside a hossier or a sellars kitchen cabinet. ask your gran if you can.
Coming along great! Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Nancy Wheeler from Stranger Things?
No, but that's such a compliment! Thanks! :)
Old manuals are invaluable to vehicle restorers, don’t throw anything away until you’ve had a chance to research it. Also sets if paper ephemera sells well for scrapbooking etc. Box it up and store it somewhere rodent free and dry.
*of
I definitely won't be throwing them away! I'm getting some clear storage bins asap so I can really start cleaning + organizing!
Thats an adding machine. The flour sifter is from a Houiser cabinet.
Your going to be cleaning for years if your going to examine every piece of paper and bottles you come across. Treasure hunting is fun i know, one mans junk is another mans treasure, but there's a lot of trash in there also. Great video ,enjoyed watching. Happy hunting and Happy New Year.
She is enjoying her journey....and creating content... she can pace her reno however she wants!
Ring tops came in long after 1952. I think it is fairly recent.
Hi from Colorado Springs and merry christmas 😀
Hi!! Merry Christmas! 🎄❄️
Hey Emma, i gotYdirected to your channel when you stayed in oklahoma, my home state, I was glad you enjoyed your stay, and you were treated nicel. it's' what we are known for. I have degree in history but im always a student of history, so your general store, i think, is awesome, I noticed your make america great again hat, since I'm an okie, of course. I'm a Trump supporter follower. I have bought, sold, traded, collected antiques, and you said bottles, alot of people collect them, and if you find, coke, pepsi, old cork bottles with parmacys names are all popular. Your doors your replacing. You might just cut the rotted part off and then use what's left as tables. Enjoy watching your progress, keep it up.
Great ideas! I'm definitely keeping all bottles, and a few people have noted that I may be able to save the doors, so I will try and do that. Glad you're here!
If you have old books dated from 1902 and before, hang on to them!
nice old calculator, you can renovate the old calculator
It would be incredible to get it running again!
Those things you thought were mail slots are actually backdraft dampers
You could try some spray rust remover and lubricant into the lock of your safe and let it soak for a while before you try to use the key. You don't want to break it off in the lock. Old safe might be worth a little money so I wouldn't cut it open only as a last resort. It might be of use as a safe for you later on. As a last resort, a locksmith should be able to get a key lock open
You're thinking what I'm thinking!
@@emmashaye Great minds think alike 😁
You could make an accent wall or accent feature on a wall with that wood that's too pretty to burn depending on how much you have.
A good locksmith can find the combination with a auto dialer . Plus he can fix the key problem as well .
If that Sunrise bottle were green with the red and white label it sold for $100 +shipping this month. The short clear glass sold for $5-6. Sometimes things that look like garbage are worth a lot of money so be careful what you toss in the trash even if it is a rusty piece of iron.
Wow! I was so sad the sunrise bottles broke. I've learned my lesson!
Your Texaco sign on the door back by your dumb waiter is from the 1930s and has some value!
Sweeet! I need to check that out!
Here's a hint, IF the safe can be pulled out then it can be easy to remove the back of the safe from there. Many old safes are solid except for the back bc their weight and heavy duty locking faceplate or door was often the reason they were more impenetrable. The backs often had thin sheet metal which was easy to get into. The battle was moving them to be able to access the back.
Also IF you manage to find a solid piece backing. DO NOT cut into it! Call a locksmith. Many old ones are fireproofed with asbestos! Do not disturb it!
15:59 that metal thing looks like a scaffolding set. 🤔
Not a mail slot, a vent for a stove hood exhaust fan
Looks like a flour bin that may have been in a Hoosier cabinet?.
I think you're right! There's a hoosier cabinet in there and it matches the paint. Good thinking :)
Hi Emma just a small suggestion clean one set of your wall shelves and put the things you want to keep there so the cold or water doesn't Crack or destroy them + put set of gloves+ a mask in your purse.You'er doing OK
