100 Miles of Thrifting! Highway Sales, Shows & Estate Sales

[@OriginalNethead]

Scurvy the cat is a scurvy knave, and if he's not he's not getting credit where credit is due. 28:03 Jabot pin. Worn up near the neck. The garnet one looked like real garnets in silver. George doubtless knows this, but others won't: Eisenberg Ice is a new mark that's not the same thing as real Eisenberg. 46:34 a friend uses one of the insulated milk boxes as his mailbox. That's allowed here. It's a box with a lid.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Great information about the Jabot pin, I haven't seen that style and wasn't sure! Correct about the garnets in silver. There's a lot of confusion about Eisenberg Ice, they did actually do a brief line with that name in the late 1940s that included dress clips, then discontinued it, those pieces are usually also marked Made in USA. Reproductions made in the 1990s and beyond are marked Eisenberg Ice as well, but as you say, they really are not, they were made offshore and are not marked Made in USA. Wish people would just make new stuff with new names and not pretend! I like the idea of the milk box as a mailbox.

When someone says, ‘Your prices are great,’ it often means, ‘You don’t know the value of what you have, and I plan to profit from it.’ I watch your videos so resellers can’t take advantage of my elderly parents. I’m glad that knowledge is more accessible through Google Lens and social media.

[@marthaball8029]

Oh my goodness! You look so cute in the horse collar mirror with your plates under your arm and your sweet smile!!! The world could use much more of you George!

[@LisaCates-j8i]

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks, I wear them better than the hats lol

[@bluskyz7398]

I'm pretty sure those stars-n-stripes drinking glasses are from 1976. I remember having those in our home the year I graduated high school, 1976, which was the bicentennial year too.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I do too, but I thought the curvature was different on the 1970s ones

[@bluskyz7398]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Oh, OK - didn't know there was a later version! Thank you

[@LuLu-xs4sh]

"Although, gross... don't want to drink after him." Oh, George, LOL

This reminds me of the" Roundtop" 100 miles of antique near my hometown Of Brenham, Texas

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, I'd like to go to that!

[@Chereese0808]

It sure is pretty there. Well groomed. I envy those attending this awesome event. Something for everyone! ♡♥︎♡

I had no idea of all these great places! I’m new to living in Southern Indiana, as of 6 years ago. California is all I know! But I’m learning of all the wonderful places to visit, thanks to people like yourself. Beth Kemper❤ her!

Beth is cool! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Kentucky or maybe at the New Harmony show/appraisal fair next May

Our milk box fit behind the drivers seat in our car. My dad would use it as a cooler to hold his beer whenever we went on vacation or to the drive in movies. Church key in glove box

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The Packwood flea market every Memorial and Labor Day in Washington state is the closest thing I know of out west

[@TheAccidentalViking]

I was born on highway 41! At the time it went right past the front of my childhood home! Of course, it's been diverted now, but the house is still there, but I'm looooong gone, twice around the globe. That was so much fun stuff! I wish I could pack up a container from here in Norway and set it up with you!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wow! So interesting that you ended up in Norway, that sounds like a story worth hearing. I would love you to send a container our way

[@TheAccidentalViking]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I should write a book. It's a thrilling tale of mayhem and woe. Maybe when it's a best seller, I'll come visit with a container full of Scandi vintage and antiques.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@ yes please! I’d read that

[@dorisbern6539]

Aww thanks!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. There was a marble-topped, walnut Victorian table, in that store, that I'd like to have. There was a hen and rooster set, under the Shawnee stuff, that caught my eye. I liked the frame, with the swan print. I have a weakness for Heisey, and I have a water set in the _Colonial_ pattern. It's my favourite pattern in Heisey. I liked the Maltese cross, all black, brooch. The blue and white, 1910 dresser jar was nice. I used to have several of those old fans...they were in the house that burned. When I hear you say, "Plastic fantastic", it always sounds like you're trying to convince yourself 😂 It would be a lot of fun to shop those sales. I'd probably need to rent a Smart Car, so I couldn't buy too much, though 😆 Thanks for giving us the tour!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hello! I wish I had more marble top furniture in general, feel like that's coming back around with decorators and I see why! Hen and rooster set was more realistic so I see why that would be for you. I like the Colonial ball jug really well, had one for ages! "Plastic Fantastic Lover" was a Jefferson Airplane basically mocking people for letting tv program their thinking, so you have caught my little game, lol! I liked the title enough to apply it to things I was raised to think of as inferior plastic that now are considered fabulous by collectors. A Smart Car! --I loaded a 39" hall table in one of those and the driver had to do pretzel bends to get home!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Yeah, the hen and rooster set was something I would go for, with it being realistically done. The _Colonial_ set I have isn't the ball shape. It's a sloped(?) one that has points that come out at the bottom of the panels. I really like that set. For me, Heisey is all about the glass. I don't usually go for the pieces with the etchings on them, or the coloured pieces of Heisey. To not be crystal, Heisey had the clearest glass I've seen. How, pray, did you get a 39" hall table in a Smart Car? That was bigger than the car! 😂

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS it was not easy!

Love this video, the info you give. Why you choose to but or not to buy, how very fair you are and just how fun this is....almost like we are there! I love those airline plates.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much! I want you to have that experience along with me

[@SHERRY0010]

Ooh , pink glass ! That first vanity you showed, my aunt had the exact same one . Interesting how items travel around . As my aunt and her hubby lived in an old Canadian Pacific Railway station ( husband was a station agent ). They lived in a small border town known as Coutts, Alberta ( entry port to Montana ). Seeing that vanity was a shocker . That trip looks like so much fun . Wish I could be there . Good luck on your sale 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I've seen Coutts on the map but haven't been through, I drove west to Washington and crossed there. It's neat that you spotted a vanity that they had all the way down here in Kentucky!

[@yvonnesangster2934]

I wish you had picked up the LaGuardia airport piece! I would have gotten it even with the flaw!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'll look for more

[@janetpogue4970]

Maybe, Secretary Buditchec, I obviously don't spell well, Secretary of Transportation moved the Indiana project forward. And not jjust because he is a Hoosier 😂 I am a big supported of him ! Very smart man ! Great temperament too !

Hi G, heard it a few times you’ve mentioned it. It’s Eve-sham, not Eversham. Just thought I’d say.

You're right, I keep adding the R that isn't there! I'll try to remember, sometimes when the wrong thing is stuck in my head I can't shake it out

[@saracappello6805]

I have to chuckle when you mention selling to the hipsters in Seattle. I'm in a suburb north of Seattle and I find alot of mid-century items in my local thrift stores and resell them over Facebook to mostly Seattlelites.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's right!

hi there, thanks again.

George what is a good percentage amount to reduce retail price for this event?

I figure about half price, just like an estate sale (and 1/3 of retail if it's a not-old item)
