BIG PROFITS! | THRIFT SHOP SHOWDOWN | ANTIQUE & VINTAGE DEALS

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you for taking us with you today! 😊

[@kvkosmosk3891]

George has the best sense of humor.

[@starrlacey2505]

Your cousin was so nicely generous! Nice to have family you can like. Love to see when you go back to that one that was closing! Thanks for the adventure!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

He is a great guy and was really nice to let me get all that, I offered to share but I guess since I took him out and found him cheap solid wood shelving that he wanted to pay it back.

[@maybebaby9211]

Love your finds! You have such a beautiful voice. You should have a tv or radio show about your wealth of knowledge!!! 🙋‍♀️❤️🙋‍♀️

[@maryn.taylor6869]

The penguin is Murano, signed Licio Zanetti. Your cousin did you a very good turn there!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

He sure did! You and another viewer recognized the signature right away, I'm farsighted and really couldn't read it on the spot (I need to bring my readers, hard to admit). Thank you for that!

[@Fabfliplady]

My favorite part was you doing your best to annoy your cousin! And of course listening to all of your tips!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm like the irritating little bother...uh, brother he never had

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

George, between you and your cousin, you made out pretty well, especially after that last cart came out with Waterford, and German penguins. One never knows what you'll find!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Turns out the glass penguins were a Murano signature! I have farsightedness and couldn't read it

[@george.carrasco]

Even better watching second time around George! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! I liked this one, it was a fun day

[@Rachelakalilyworks]

I love when you describe history of jewelry. Very interesting!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like costume jewelry and there's a lot to know!

[@angelad.8944]

I had to laugh...you reminded me of Jocelyn a little, when you guys found the good stuff. She gets all excited and overwhelmed. A very palpable moment for us all. I love how the community of resellers and viewers are so happy when one of us scores a great haul. I really enjoyed your time over on Danni's Monday live yesterday. Always interesting to hear the back story to ones journey. I use to go to garage sales with my mom as a child and I never realized how much I absorbed until a few years ago. Thanks so much for your willingness to share your time and knowledge with us George. It is such a pleasure.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! I sure enjoy it and am glad I can show the enthusiasm. My mom took me to garage sales as a kid and it stuck with me too

[@joannegibson4346]

Yes I did really luck out!

Those penguins are cute. Glad you accomplished your mission successfully too. Thanks for letting me come along and see what is out there that is interesting too. Have a great day and stay warm.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I’m so glad you got to come along!

George you are a real ethical man. Just one example is paying the woman a fair price for the par table !

My favourite was the glass 80’s coffee table ✅

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

If those cabinets hadn't filled the van, I'd have gotten it

Me too! I'm glad you had fun with it too

[@bushelandpeck1501]

Thanks for the variety, George. Nice to meet your cousin, too! The knowledge runs in the family, obviously. Those Bossen heads always bring back memories. My Air Force dad brought my mom back some from one of his TDY trips overseas in the 70s. That & the bull & matador from Spain.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Neat! I especially like the bull and matador sets

[@UweJMeyer]

This are the right places for hunters, and the prices are amazing cheap.If you hear on German fleamarkets the word :" Antique ,old or rare", the sellers want to weigh up their stuff in Gold.Greatings from your German fans 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

We sure are fortunate to have such excess!

[@harriettbogert6253]

Wow, talk about being at the right place at the right time !

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes!

[@Korenscollections]

Oh George, your so honest to pay someone more than asking. I loved those coffee tables. I don’t feel they are out of style. I love The Salvation Army. I always find something and their prices are great.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I wanted to do right by someone who gave me a nice tip and helped me! I like those tables as well.

[@sharoncraven9802]

Wow! Once again I’ve learned so much from you. Could the UTC label on the penguin be Otagiri? Your cousin was a great wing man!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

He sure is! I think UTICO was a separate firm from Otagiri from what I can tell. I'm so glad to help where I can

[@GGOAT2019]

I love when you have guest stars :)

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So do I! I'm glad to know that

[@owdeguy]

licio zanetti are your penguins, I recognized the signature I think from you showing it for a second.

Thank you so much! I was having trouble reading it without my jewelers loupe, I've become farsighted in the past few years

[@owdeguy]

@@TheAntiqueNomad If you like you can email me a pic and I can for sure confirm, but pretty sure thats what the glimpse I saw was....

[@george.carrasco]

Love that huge cherub lamp! Georgie, who would have made that huge lamp, and is it from the 70’s or what decade?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

1970s or late 60s, American made but there were so many lamp makers doing them I can't tell you who did that one

[@jeannejames6139]

I think it should be required!

[@janetd4862]

Great score!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I was happy!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I loved this one, George. Nice to meet your cousin and hear a bit about your family. My personal favorite things: Bosson heads (I had some that I got in England, and I made some reproductions). I love Franciscan Apple ( American made only), and Waterford anything - especially love the seashell. I’d be interested in perchasing that one if you kept it.💚💚💚

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun showing it. I do like Bossons, and USA Franciscan Apple is one of my all-time favorite patterns. E-mail me about the Waterford shell

[@janetpogue4970]

Let's thank George by emailing his video to a friend or 2. He is almost to 60 K

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

My mom had a large collection of Bosson's that she bought when we lived in Germany. Unfortunately a 30' wall of water washed them out of her house during Katrina. They were still in the boxes so we figure either they are deep in the swamp or out in the ocean somewhere.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh no! That's terrible, I didn't realize she went thorugh all that. I hope she was able to rebuild

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

​@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, they rebuilt. They had built this house in Bay St. Louis MS as their retirement home and had only been in it for a month before Katrina hit. They lived in a 18' RV for over a year while trying to rebuild. It was a nightmare. Things can be replaced, the worst part was the loss of all the family photos. Their house was 19' off the ground, so no one thought a 30' wall of water would ever hit that location!

[@lindamcnamara7803]

There’s a interesting channel called Crick Diggers Inc. These guys dig old bottles and more. I thought your cousin would enjoy checking it out.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Cool! I'll let him know, he loves that stuff

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! Those model cars were nice. One of them looked like a Duesenberg. There was a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote glass there. I would've had to have bought that one. I loved the Tudor-style secretary desk. The price was a bit on the steep side, but for someone that wanted a really nice one, it would be a good find. Those penguins were a great find. You were there at just the right time for those. That Waterford shell was a fantastic find! That was a really good thrift shopping venture! That doesn't happen often. Thanks for taking us along!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I do like Wile E. Coyote! The secretary was the nicest piece of furniture I found all day. I was certainly lucky to walk up on the fresh cart of stock right then! Have you ever seen the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg museum? Those cars are so phenomenal (and huge) in person

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I've never seen the Auburn/Cord/ Duesenberg museum, but I have seen a Duesie, and they are massive! I saw a Duesie clocked one time. It was one of the ginormous ones...an SJ, (or something like that), dual cowl Phaeton, I think...and the radar clocked that thing at 133 MPH...on the old spoke wheels, no less! It had a V-12 in it. I'd love to have one of them, but I'd have to live in it😆 Wouldn't be able to afford anything else!

[@pattimercer9357]

That was fun! A different shopping experience with you! When I see a ‘collection’ donated to a thrift store, I feel sad because I think someone must have passed away and family didn’t want the collection.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Well, sometimes it's downsizing too

[@angelad.8944]

I think it is one of the reasons that some of us resell. It is our way of honoring the person who took the time to collect and now we can send items on their way to a good home, to someone else that will cherish them just as much as the last person.

[@pattybonilla5072]

I hadn't comment in a long while because since I am always a short of money, I never buy anything and I thought that I better let other people the real customers comment, but, I have been with you since the beginning and I do watch you on KZbin all the time, feel a little bad not able to buy anything but one of this days I will, I promise anyway thanks for making me happy George the antique nomad, I love your videos!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! Please always feel that you can engage with me, I'm thrilled you've stuck with me! it's never been about making money to me, I just want to share the love of all this cool old stuff. A lot of people who are able to spend do, so that's been a nice side benefit, but your involvement and long-term support mean much more than cold cash. Thank you!

Very nice find with all those penguins! Also a side note, I had the little dog figurine that was in the cart. Mine had a foil sticker that said the maker was Peacock and made in Japan. It was neat to see it in your video!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh wow! It's nice to know who made it. I thought it was cute and knew it was 1950s Japan but I'd never seen a tag on one

I will peep and use as a pencil holder and the others I will sell.

The large bronze disc is called a Death Penny and was given to the families of dead soldiers etc from World War One. I believe that they are always British military and should have the name of the dead combatant on it. I know that the one I own does as it is a family heirloom.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The 'Death Pennies' are a sad story, but very interesting! This particular round was about 10 years later however, in the US they issued variants as commemoratives of other events
