Massive estate sale buy! what will I find?!? Part 2

[@1hollig1]

Funny story: I am a brand ambassador for liquor (that means I am contracted by liquor companies to pass out samples of their products in hopes of increasing sales) and I recently was doing a tasting for an organic flavored vodka. The flavor was pomegranate/lemon and it was absolutely terrible! It tastes exactly like cough medicine. A man in his late 70’s came up to me to sample it and said “oh this is delicious! It tastes exactly like an oven the counter cough medicine that had codeine in it that I loved and used to drink like it was soda!” I laughed and laughed and told him it probably wasn’t the taste that he enjoyed but rather the effects the codeine. He happily bought a case of the vodka!

[@trainmagnet5845]

Better take a closer look at and research that brass 4-8-8-4 Steam engine and tender. If it is UP- Union Pacific, Big Boy, is an older one, with a serial number, etc., those two pieces could be worth enough to pay for the whole lot of items, themselves. Found this info- HO BRASS MODEL - GEM RUBY SERIES RS-102 UP UNION PACIFIC 4-8-8-4 BIG BOY - UNPAINTED - SERIAL NUMBERED #35 OF 50 - 1961 RUN with box by Gem Model Railways. Sold for $4,250US. Nice haul of neat items.

[@johnchambers5029]

That HO brass locomotive is a model of the Union Pacific Railroads 4-8-8-4 Big Boy steam locomotive. The tender is known as a centipede tender. Depending on the manufacturer and age it may be worth upwards of $750.00 to $1,000.00 US. Possibly more. There are several price guide books for brass model locomotives.

I caught a glimpse in the 1912 - Ladies Home Journal - of Daddy Long-Legs. That might make that one worth a bit more if it is an original printing of the Jean Webster story that was printed in 1912.

[@NitrousDiecast]

The old magazines are pretty neat, its interesting to see the old ads in them. I think you might even be able to sell some of the old packaging and boxes, even the milk cartons that the trains were in, as some of the packages looked to be from the 1950s, early 1960s? Maybe a local theatre for “set decor”?

[@patpeters6331]

@Carrol. At 74 I am also trying to scale back my collections & possessions. So sorry your grandchildren don't appreciate vintage, they don't realize what they're missing. Thankfully my grandson loves vintage, so I am packing up vintage kitchen items for him. I recently came across my dad's lunch box, with his name & timecard # written in it. I am going to use it to make a small toolkit for my grandsons first apartment. I think he'll get a kick out of.

[@ordinarynocturne]

Those old magazines with the ads were so cool to see! I just finished a class about the history of graphic design, and the '20s and '30s are when a lot of advertising kicked into high gear, selling you a concept more than the product itself. ("If you buy this, you'll be hip and modern!") Does Edmonton have any design and/or art schools? They might be interested in some of those old magazines to have for display or research.

Great finds! I think that peacock is gobbling, though. My high school library had a collection of bound Life magazines going back to the late 1930s up to the mid-1950s. I'd get a library pass for study hall and sit there and look at the ads and the articles and it was fascinating.

[@nickthomas181]

The Mizpah fountain pen, I've just found a less ornate but similar pen online and that one dates to 1910. That pen was being sold for 210 dollars and the pen needed work. The guy spent a lifetime collecting and some old new stock and in the end for what I ask myself you can't take it with you as my late father used to say and I know because he died recently and I'm currently sorting through his estate. A fantastic collection!

[@scottlouch3384]

Hey Alex- just a few notes for you. From the first video, the pre-war tinplate American Flyer engine is O gauge- not S. The very old Dinky Toys truck that you show in both videos is not pre-war- it is early post war. Easiest way to tell the difference is the wheel hubs. Smooth wheels are pre-war- ridged hubs are post war. The Hornby cable reel car and gondola in this video are pre war O gauge. The depressed centre flat car did not likely originally come with the cable reels- it came with logs. The cable reels are Hornby though. The small silver plastic airplanes are old cereal premiums. Love these types of videos- thanks!

[@nancyloomis3046]

The once ALL German-made Pfaff (pronounce the “a” like “ah,”)sewing/serging machines generally bring very good prices. I have a mid 80s top of the line German made Pfaff sewing machine that I paid$600 for in like 1988. It still works great and it’s hard to justify getting a newer fancier model when I don’t sew that often and this one works so great. Soon after the late 80s Pfaff started manufacturing their machines in China & other “not-Germany” locations and the quality reputation took a big hit. I think they overcame most of the quality issues and their sewing/serging machines are considered to be high-end and their prices reflect that. BTW & FYI: if the thread that came with the machine is very old, it may not be considered that great for use bc old thread, like so many other things, weakens and gets more brittle as it ages.

I remember having an Erector set as a child. I think it was supposed to make a Ferris wheel. I never did because the directions were pretty complicated. Mom hated the thing because it was a whole bunch of steel strips that you bolted together with hundreds of tiny nuts and bolts. I was about eight or nine years old, so those tiny nuts and bolts got all over the house. Have you ever stepped om a 1/4" bolt in your bare feet?

So funny when u mentioned the Prince Albert jokes. As young kids we'd make crank calls to anonymous liquor stores, grocery, etc. and ask if they had Prince Albert in the can. They would usually say, "Yes we do". Our response was always, "Well, you'd better let him out before he suffocates!". 😂 It was usually followed by another random call where we'd get the phone book out (We all remember those LOL) and open it to a random page. There we would close our eyes, point our finger on the page and choose a random #. We would then call this #, ask them if their refrigerator was running. They would usually reply yes, thinking it was a sales call. We would say (trying not to crack up), "well, you'd better run after it before it gets away!" 😊🤣 Just reminded me of all the dumb stuff we did as kids. You couldn't get us inside unless it was raining (and even then sometimes we'd just play in the rain!), and knew to come in before dark or when we heard our Mom calling us. We knew all the neighbor kids (and they knew our rules) and they knew us. We knew how far we could go and still hear her. Once in a while if we were in a backyard or she called particularly early, someone would hear her holler for us and run to the yard to tell us our Mom was yelling for us. She just opened the front door and yelled, "Roxanne and Stephanieeeee! Her voice would carry up the street 4 or 5 houses (we knew that was our boundary to play! She only wanted to call us once. If she had to call more than twice, we were in trouble bcuz we were too far from home. We could go anywhere as long as it was within earshot of our Mom's voice. Several neighborhood kids played together in the streets or in someone's front yard. We had to ask permission to go inside someone's house and she had to have their Phone # if she needed to reach us. I remember my favorite neighbor was a little girl in a family of 10...5 boys/3 girls/2 parents. Oldest son was in military and oldest daughter was away @ college. Still, they had 6 kids + parents @home (in a 3 BR ranch) . My sister and I were only kids and always had our own rooms. We were very lucky and had a huge yard full of swings, sandbox, tether ball, etc. as well as an entire bsmt set up as a playroom for us. Never knew how privileged we were til much later. Feelgood stories like these always bring great childhood memories of those extra special days of long ago. I miss my family so much but will always have warm memories such as this to remind me. 💞 I think that's why we all love watching Alex open all these treasures from days gone by. It reminds us all of things and people sometimes long gone from our lives. Thank you for the nostalgia Alex. 🙏🏽 🙋🏼‍♀️ ✌🏼

"Mizpah" has religious significance in Judaism, referring to the protection of someone who is far away, so the pen could be some sort of good luck charm or remembrance, perhaps suggesting that the recipient should "write home." The scroll work is suggestive of that found on Mizpah rings, which see. I doubt if it is a brand name. There are, of course, various cities by that name, mostly in the Middle East, so the pen could conceivably be a souvenir. It's also a hotel in Tonopah, Nevada, though Tonopah souvenirs tend to be spoons or turquoise jewelry.

The tin toy bird is a turkey not a peacock. Peacocks don't have wattles and it's tail is rounded like a turkey's and it doesn't have the eyes on it's tail. Lots of cool finds. I love the trains!
