What’s in these mystery estate cases?!? Live unboxing! Treasure from the hoard!

[@dianne11ca]

When I received an autograph book for my birthday when I turned 8, I filled it with all kinds of autographs from my friends, who wrote little poems like "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" which tickled me to no end. My father was never a demonstrative man, and when I approached him finally to sign my book, I half expected him to refuse, but he surprised me and wrote a little ditty that delighted me and I still treasure the memory of the pleasure I felt as I read his words: "I love you little, I love you big, I love you like a little pig. Love Dad" The book is long gone, and I am way older now than what Dad was at the time, but he's still around, in his 90's and living near St. Brides, Alberta, where he grew up. Cheers, and thanks for the memories!

I think it’s great that you do hoarded houses and I have no bad comments about the people who live there. It’s their business how they live and I do realize they are Suffering from a condition, thus I never condemn or talk about any people In a negative way. It’s none of anybodys business. You are lovely people to help others❤️👍

My 21-year-old was taught cursive in 3rd grade but he was never required to use it much, so it didn't stick. I had to teach him how to sign his own name for military entrance paperwork when he was 19.😆 My youngest son is 7 and in 2nd grade. I'm homeschooling him and the program we use offers cursive instruction as early as Kindergarten. I had him learn it in 1st grade. He's been using it ever since and his handwriting is better than most adults.

[@lynnmoore2664]

So looking forward to watching another hoarders house adventure. I really like all the different content on this channel a lot ,but my favorite part is seeing all your treasures you find!

[@tericollier8637]

An ephemera collectors dream collection!!! You just opened two suitcases that could pay for Abigail’s first year of college!

[@KathySarich]

I always find that sad, so much history, and no one to hand it down to.

[@zimnizzle]

There’s a whole family history in those cases that was carefully packed away and saved. Someone cared enough to store it and save it (and yes, hoard it) - but not throw it away. The piece of wedding cake that was saved really got me for some reason. It occurs to me that we save things in our lives in the hopes that our family members will keep it after we are gone. That they will remember us and our lives and keep our stories alive. Eventually, though, the family line either ends, or there isn’t anyone left to tell our stories any more. Perhaps items get lost or forgotten. Or family loses interest. I’m glad there are people like you out there willing to take the time to try to put things back together as much as is possible, and when you can, return them back to family. And when not, pass them along to people that will value and honor them.

[@Kris-rf1mo]

I thought it was so sad. I’m someone who loves learning about my families history. Those kind of documents found in that case would be huge in piecing together details of previous generations.

[@sueduffy7956]

Ooh can’t wait - as a female I had my fill of cars and engines 😆😁

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

That stack of art cards and stuff (ephemera) in the leather case belongs in a (mine) craft stash. Those Valentine’s cards are exquisite!

[@Kris-rf1mo]

So neat!! I would love to find that kind of stuff from my own family history! I love that someone took the time to keep all of those personal artifacts. Even more of a reason to pass on those kind of things when your still able.

[@JestRLee]

YES ! ! ! We've been waiting for a new adventure, and a clean out series fits the bill quite nicely...

[@kaybergstrom7517]

I'm from Utah! The cabin on Salt Lake City Temple Square is called the Deuel Log Cabin, built in 1847 and one of only two that have survived all these years. It was still there in 2018, but I don't know if it's still there, probably. I remember seeing it as a kid and I'm 71 now. Freaked me out knowing I was born only 104 years after they came to the valley. There were two pictures of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir mixed in with the Las Vegas post cards.

[@laurie7604]

Oh wow!! Being a vintage junk journal maker...I'm salivating!!!!

[@carolstanton7373]

Hi, I believe the little needle work card is one that was done by French women and sold to Allied servicemen during WW2. I picked up some at an antique sale. They were done on silk and are very lovely.

[@sherimcgill5139]

I love the little girls sewing book

I would love to buy some ephemera from Canada. I collect post cards, and just stuff..lol when we pass I hope someone hires a chap like you to clear our items out. You take care of stuff that doesn't belong to you! Tfs!

The cabin is still there outside the LDS church museum in down town salt lake city. across the street from Temple square. In the olden days It was in Temple square.

[@kimlabellestirling2034]

I am a multi medium artist and live in Ontario, and as you pull items out of that suitcase i 'm just drooling over it. Things look for are old receipts, dictionaries, ephemera and postcards. I love watching what you end up pulling out of those boxes. This video blew my mind and i must I am quite jealous lol.

[@pomskylifenova7344]

Amazing finds 👍🐾

[@janeschiffler5347]

The clear out videos are much more interesting to me than the store. I also love the auto restorations!

[@markandmichele3325]

Really looking forward to a new hoarders house ! The Spoons from the suitcase, you most probably already know Alex , the two Kings are Edward who abdicated for Wallace Simpson. The late Queens Elizabeth’s father King George is the other spoon. Love following you and your families videos best of luck with the Hoarders house . 🇬🇧

I felt really emotional watching this. Clearly someone cherished these memories and keepsakes, little treasures neatly wrapped and kept for decades. Loved getting to know a bit about Betty and see some of her life and family 🙏🏻

I'm really excited about this coming series. There was so much stuff in there it's hard to imagine what all you may find. This will be fun for us, but I feel for you guys and the amount of work you have ahead of you. Good luck with it all!

[@strangersound]

If you started an Instagram and posted nothing but pictures, postcards, and the rest from just those two suitcases, it would be a masterpiece. And all those photos are gold. You can get high res scans from them, no problem. It won't be Shorpy level glass plate resolution, but it would still be pretty good. It would take a lot of time, but it would serve the greater interest of historical preservation and be super cool. Call it "Two Old Suitcases". It would probably be a great social media angle for the channel. ;)

[@julied6322]

At 22:24 you can read the inscription inside the little girl's sewing book: to Betty from Nana December 1915

This seems like it will be a fun house to declutter. I’m excited to watch the progress! I think I learn a lot with each. I’d have to ask my therapist, but it’s also possible these just make me feel better about my own small hoard! 😅

[@sheelfjohnson]

☺ I think they help motivate me to keep my small (mostly clothing) hoard from getting worse.

[@purplegr3mlin]

The Waterton thing really excited me! I haven't been to the Glacier part (US side), but the Prince of Wales is still there and looks the same! There was a fire a few years back, but it's one of the things that remains untouched! So cool! This whole video has been amazing so far

It makes me so sad that nobody wants anything else from that house. :( But it helps to know that you will give so many of these items a new home, whether by sale or donation.

[@Cate7451]

People probably took the things that were valuable or had meaning to them. Otherwise it can be an overwhelming job. Better things go to homes where they are wanted. Alexander said that they went to garage sales so they had their fun with that. Now fun for us👋

[@eavesdroppin1]

All of those lovingly organized precious memories and none in the family wanted to save them. So very sad!

[@hjbq]

The wedding cake would probably be fruit cake with marzipan and royal icing. It was a tradition to send a piece to anyone who couldn't be at the wedding. I got a piece of my sister's wedding cake but it wasn't in a fancy silver box, just a strong cardboard box made specifically for mailing cake. The little sewing book had an inscription on the title page that had a date. What a delight that would be to look through.

[@nancybottemiller2522]

[@Nona23parsons]

The little box of cake is a groom's cake (usually spiced with raisins)...When I was a little girl, I went to a wedding with my grandparents in Rhode Island. As we were leaving, I was given a little box of cake like that and told that, if I put it under my pillow that night, I would dream of my future husband! How precious to see the one you found...brought back a sweet memory... (no pun intended)...😆💒 🥰

It's a good hoard. Like King Tut's place was a hoard, full of interesting things. It's not like there are dead cats and things, but even King Tut had Coptic Jars.

Excited to hear you decided to buy the contents and the owners know you will keep the memories for them separately.
