Hello George! I’ve been a bit down in the dumps, but your soothing voice and kindness always calms me. You are a treasure. ❤️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm always happy to hear from you and I hope things get better! They do with time.

[@Dianehussaini]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank you! Yes, time is a great healer. ❤️

Hello!

[@katiebini6064]

Hi George it’s Katie from Iowa! Our daughter goes to college at the U of O in Eugene Oregon. We bought her a car and drove it out to Oregon from Iowa. We stopped at many cool places along the way. One of them was Devil’s Tower! It was one of my favorite places on the trip out there. Thank you for sharing this ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It is a special place! That sounds like a fun trip

[@yvonnesangster2934]

New or old Pendleton blankets are always a good purchase!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm a big fan of the Pendleton designs, they really are so beautiful!

[@cecoya]

I like those colorful glass roosters that were mismarked. They were beautiful. Thanks for sharing and letting me see this place. Have a great day and safe travels

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So glad I could! It was an unexpected find.

[@yvonnesangster2934]

I got those canisters you were looking at as a wedding present 51 years ago. I still have them!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Cool! They were made to last

[@OriginalNethead]

Loved the Jim Nabors album. I had a real thing for his voice when I was about five. He really could sing, something you wouldn't expect if all you knew was his TV characters. BTW - scored my first piece of Sascha Brastoff at an estate sale recently. Tipee-style ashtray. The estate sale company had it priced...$2. Co-branded for Canadian Club no less. I could see George hauling it off with alacrity and did likewise. Found an amber Blenko dish in the Free pile...my favorite price!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wow! Great estate sale finds and I haven’t seen any corporate branded Brastoff before. I must admit Jim Nabors did have a good voice

[@KaringOne]

Thanks George. I finally became a member. Thanks for all the amazing content! The live premiere and the amazing chat won me over!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad! It was fun having you in chat too.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Hi George, the Ironstone, "flower power" set is fun. I also love the Candlewick pattern of glass. I remember my blue bike with the banana seat, also blue. I saved my allowance and bought a flower power basket for her. 😊 Thanks again ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi! Candlewick is so well made and so much variety, it deserves to be remembered fondly. I had the orange bike with banana seat, my friend Julie had the flower power basket but I had a speedometer for mine!

I absolutely love that retro 50s sewing basket. I crochet and it would have made a great crochet project holder of current works in progress.

Fun to learn more about LeRoy 🚙

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks, I appreciate that! It was really fun to see you in the chat, too.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Leroy Dodge Brown has been a great van for me! Dodge was actually known for trucks more than cars in the early days, that's why Chrysler was willing to buy them from the Dodge estate after both Dodge brothers sadly died in the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1920.

[@janetpogue4970]

Missed the 1st part of this Live. Justed stared over to enjoy that part too. 🎉🎉

[@janetpogue4970]

​​@@TheAntiqueNomad like learning background and history. This is so sad about the brothers.

[@lisageilhausen1866]

I’ve never been to Wyoming but this video was so fun that I now want to travel there! Thanks for taking us along George. Loved the petroleumana and since my late husband worked for Texaco and I still get a death benefit from them every month, I thoroughly enjoyed everything including the car stuff.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Northern Wyoming is so amazing in terms of scenery, you won't be disappointed. I'm glad the petroliana brings back happy memories

[@laraemitchell9064]

This gave me a lot of nostalgic feelings. Both because of the antiques and from memories of how rustic Wyoming was when I lived there. And still is. Very frozen in time. Also really frozen in a good portion of the year.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wyoming is so beautiful, and those rustic towns have a lot of character!

[@kelleykelley549]

❤

[@joantrainor6584]

Thanks for this great choice of places to share. I was thinking about how much fun these things are.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Glad to hear it! There’s a lot of fun stuff out there to find! I'll keep trying to explore, this place was a big surprise to me that just happened. I know there's fun places near you in Colorado I haven't seen too

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I liked that poker chips set. It would've tempted me. The shaving mug was my kind of thing. Geez! All those barrister bookcases. I could see a room lined with those. We knew Cary Guffey and his family - the little boy in _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_ when he was in the movie. His grandparents were close friends of our family. That Devil's Tower brought back memories. That first Raku piece really interested me. I liked that piece. It had a great organic look about it. I don't see _anyone_ liking those blasted geese again 😝😂 Those were some fun places to shop. Thanks for the take-along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I would absolutely fill a room with barrister bookcases if I had the space, and then fill them too! Maybe with a shelf of poker chips and game stuff, and a shelf of shaving mugs and related...I've always liked the occupational shaving mugs the professionals would leave in Victorian barber shops as a form of advertising/braggadocio. Interesting you knew a child actor, I don't think I've ever met anyone of that walk of fame. Devils Tower was new to me but I've always wanted to see it, Xeno recommended I take the detour and I'm glad he did! The first Raku was definitely the one I should've bought. Lol, I know everyone in the comments was against the return of the blue geese, but as popular as they were, you know that someone young now had a grandma that had them, so I suspect we'll see them in our dreams (or nightmares, lol)!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad If I had a room full of barrister bookcases, you know they'd be filled with beverage sets 😂 I like the old shaving mugs, too, but I think two of them is all I have. We knew Cary's grandparents and his mom, Sue, for many years. I think he stopped acting in the mid eighties. Oh geez! Those blue-bowed geese are horrid. I never liked those things when they were popular. There were even paper napkins with those things on them. They were like a plague 🤣

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@ lol yes the paper napkin company brought that design to a consortium of houseware makers because department stores wanted matchy-matchy lines in the 80s and the blue geese were born. The Treasure Craft founder’s son had just taken over and I got the feeling from his face when he told me the story that he wasn’t a fan, but he’d made an agreement to produce the designs the consortium voted for and the Blue Geese was one. He said in retrospect that it was a huge thing for them at the time and he was lucky that he was outvoted

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad He might have felt it was a good thing as far as business revenue, but did he tell you...or would admit to it...if he ever had any of the things in his home? 😂 It would've been fun to be the "fly on the wall", at some of the meetings with the consortium, when it came to some of the things that were presented. I wonder how many, "You gotta be kidding me!", statements were made 🤣

[@SHERRY0010]

Lots of really neat items . Loved the cars 🚙

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Those cars were really something weren't they!

[@SHERRY0010]

@@TheAntiqueNomad gorgeous . That space was merchandised very well with the cars being the focal point I thought . Lots of merchandise , but not over stuffed . Easy to find stuff one may be interested in . But they have the space that’s much bigger than a lot of antique malls rent to tenants . I remember one antique shop that was just hoarded here . He had the whole building to himself . But hard to shop , plus he hardly had sales . His shop is gone , don’t know if he sells on line or retired .

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@SHERRY0010 I thought it was so cool and looked that part! I know what you mean about some stores, they can be a really fun dig but a REAL dig

[@applegal3058]

The geese with blue motifs coming back in style surprises me lol it was never a timely motif or design in my opinion. Perhaps because I already experienced it in my lifetime, so to me it's not really old enough to come back in fashion. Perhaps I'm getting old too haha!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I understand, most people who lived through it are not fans now, but someone's grandma had it in 1990 who is now old enough to remember it with fondness

[@applegal3058]

@TheAntiqueNomad indeed! I totally get that. It's a sentimental thing for sure for some.

[@kudzu_]

We own a 58 dodge d100 we're fixing up for and with the help of my mopar classic loving 13 yo, it runs and drives now, saved from being yard art 😊 Loved this tour, thanks for sharing!

They missed a few though

[@dianarubia9039]

Great tour, George❣️The Dodge truck reminds me of the “Odometer dance” each time Daddy’s truck turned over a certain mileage my Brother and I had to get out and dance around the truck. It was beyond embarrassing at a green light 😢😂That old Truck is still running back in my home town 😉

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's hilarious! I had an odometer on my bike, and I did my best to get to 1000 miles on it.If I were only in that shape now!

[@janetpogue4970]

Your Dodge, reminds me of my aunt's wagon. She was very cool even had an eight track tape deck under the dash. Actually a station wagon

[@janetpogue4970]

The neatest parent [f all our friends 😂 very hip

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh fun! I have a friend who loves Mopar automobiles and looks for the Dodge wagons in particular, his Polara (a sedan) has an 8-track that still works great

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! I’ll definitely be in February, not sure about January yet

[@rkevghas]

When I lived in small town/rural area in SD in the 1980s-90s the women in the area had "Birthday Clubs" and would get together once a month and play cards and the Snack Sets were used a lot. I had at least a dozen so when I had to host, there were enough to serve cookies and coffee on them.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I really think they make a lot of sense for today's lifestyle, where people don't sit down formally for dinner much!

[@John-et5wu]

Can you do a video on your business model of traveling to shows and all the different booths you have? There's a lack of guidance on the internet on how it is to be a true antique dealer and I believe you would have the best video if you made one (although I wish you did antique toys and ephemera too!)

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I love all that stuff! I’m seeing ephemera on my eBay listing videos the next three months so will cover some of that there. Also think it’s time for an antique mall primer

[@meganwatkins6631]

Hi, George! I'm wondering if you ever come to the Minneapolis area to do some casual evaluating/ appraising. I have several things I would love for you to look at.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'd like to go! Maybe some antique mall or group up there would like to sponsor me sometime. i can do online as well or by phone link

[@jeanc-z5e]

I wonder if all the Campbell soup memorabilia will be worth more after the rebranding?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Eventually yes, it takes awhile for that to permeate the zeitgeist and make people nostalgic for the older ones
