Ep. 11 We Bought Everything! We're starting with the garage...

[@rachelstuckey265]

OMG you had me at belly button!!! 😅

[@CicadaAndCo]

Hasn’t hatched yet, we’ll let you know🥚😆

[@SCCL1000]

I believe the green metal hand tool is called a dibber. Used by gardeners generally to make holes in dirt to plant bulbs. (Good tool)

[@CicadaAndCo]

Great, thanks! That will be useful, we have garden plans!🌱

[@janellkunkle5169]

Correct!😉

[@livinglife8333]

You are correct

[@Gbarthelow79]

I was just going to say this but saw someone else already told you

[@CicadaAndCo]

@@Gbarthelow79 yes and we’re excited to have these new tools for our garden!

[@billcrenshaw6245]

Please take the Chinese "tin" container and the lacquerware to someone who knows about these. I notice a hallmark on the "tin." The Chinese did not hallmark junk. Some of those items with the right craftsman hallmark can make them very valuable. I have two small Chinese sterling bowls of the same quality. One is worth $200 and the other $500 all because one was well known and respected, though to my eyes they are of the same quality. Additionally, my stepmother sold a small lacquerware bowl that her father brought back from WWII. She only wanted a few dollars for it to get enough offset the price of a meal at a restaurant. The buyer collected Japanese lacquerware and insisted that she take $125, because it was worth between $250-$300 retail.

[@KrystynaKaczynski]

Chinese haha

[@rebecca.ljuarez3477]

So sad people don't realize how much work and love go into making the doilies. I bet they have value 😊

[@havok9001]

some of those good collector item just get a case put some there

[@sarahholland2600]

​@@havok9001Their value is minimal unless you're a fabrics & textiles collector.

[@pambatterman6154]

I want the bowl and tea pot with purple flowers!!! Did you create a site or page to sell your items??

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

Those french doilies, linen and crochet are worth a lot, also the docs and the map. Check online auctions, I would not throw out them out. There are collectors for these.

[@CicadaAndCo]

Thank you! We kept them and we’re in the process of researching everything 😄

[@leaannd.8786]

You should be making some trips to Antiques Roadshow.

[@jolenemcgee9446]

I saw a craft project, cleaned and starched, connected at the points, and used as a table cloth, or it was draped over an older, over stuffed chair, beautiful!

[@BarB2-90Nine]

Your Sear Box how old and the doilies I have some there great always have. what amazing times you two are working towards Your House and yard, car & furniture and everything ✅

[@yvonnegill2155]

A lady was sewing doilies onto clothes and the looked really cool.

[@lorrainecostanzo9092]

I'm so glad you respected the previous owner, this was their life, by you carefully going through it, I thankyou as you are very respectful

[@CicadaAndCo]

We appreciate that. We're trying to keep that balance between showing and also keeping some things private.

[@Lindascrafts]

Amazing privilege to separate trash from treasure in someone’s past life. ❤🙏🏻

[@krislange1186]

I still have the SECOND item you picked up. When I was little - I'm 75 now- we made apple pies in that over the flame on the stovetop. You butter two pieces of bread, put in applesauce or apples cut up or pie filling, close it and it will automatically cut off the corners of the bread and join the two pieces together. You flip it over again to the other side to brown that side. I ate tons of those as a kid.

[@CicadaAndCo]

We’ve gotten a lot of comments on that item! It sounds like such a handy tool we’re excited to try out! 🥧

[@gretchenkoopmann1073]

We call it a pudgy pie maker

[@mike7167]

Hi its called a waffle maker, you butter brea on the outside and put cheese and tomato inside then close and put on open flame and turn over couple of times an you have a toasted cheese its better than made normal

[@ljb4541]

It's the original toasty maker

[@artm5294]

At least there were no bodies. 😎😊🇨🇦

[@uschibuchanan5329]

The tea set is a coffee set, you can tell by the tall size of the coffee pot as opposed to a normal tea pot. Which is usually shorter and fatter. Love all the finds, the spiders not so much. ❤ love it

[@CicadaAndCo]

Ohhh that makes sense! Thanks for teaching us that and thanks for watching! 😄

[@MonaMcC1]

When you found the old Christmas decorations and panned the box I saw a glass bird! I have one that was my grandmothers. That has to be close to or older than 100 years old since I’m 70!

[@L3nari]

What is written in the coffee pot is in french - first sentence is : petite cafetière eau - small coffe pot water (I suppose it's the upper part of the coffee pot) - 2nd one is : mesure café 1 - one mesure of coffee - last sentence : the first word is partly erased, the second is sel - salt. Nice treasure trove - a lot of her linnens and crochet things are probably worn or yellow because they are old but if you clean them, they still could sell :) Best wishes from France.

[@moxielouise]

You know in Florida every tool is going to rust, but they still work the same. I grew up on a farm and none of the spider/bug/mouse evidence fazed me in the least. I get that it's your place and you need to get a move on but what an amazing archive you have available to you to tell her story and make your own. Those curtain rod ends are not missing the middle, they swing in/out from the sides Best

[@jolenemcgee9446]

That’s a drip coffee pot, coffee goes in the middle basket, fill the top with boiling water, if the power goes out, you can still have coffee 🙂 My grandmother had a smaller 2 cup pot just like that

[@carolcadle9891]

Oh there are hidden gems.

[@nangel270]

Oh and check EVERYTHING. Older people often hide stuff. My dad had money and savings bonds in CD cases on a shelf and in the pages of books.

[@samcollage7682]

I found cash in magazines from a hoarder tenant when I had to clean out his apartment. I had thrown a ton of magazines out before I found the money. I've often wondered how much $ I threw away.

[@pattawney5621]

The metal curtain rods don't usually have a rod between them but rather were for French doors or a large single door where they swing to the side. Find the piece that they fit in to swing out. It's Deco style 1900-1920

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

Thats what I remember. The missing portion ended with a tip, like an arrow. But they swung open from the center, like double doors. Missing also, are the holders they slide into, that hold them

[@willystanford]

That metal utensil you did not recognise is what we call a jaffle iron. You put two pieces of (stale) bread with butter side out on each circle, put a few spoons of the filling of your choice on one side and close. Cut off the excess bread. Fillings can be savoury eg leftover stew or cooked veg, baked beans, bacon and egg, ham cheese and tomato, or sweet eg stewed apple or other fruit.There should be a mechanism for clipping the two sides together. The jaffle can be cooked a couple of minutes either side on a gas flame or over a firepit, campfire or BBQ. Turn out onto a plate to serve as is or with topping of your choice. Be wary when taking that first bite as the innards will be very hot. Jaffles make a great quick lunch on a cold day. Ate a few on washday when I was a kid. I still have my square jaffle iron, mainly used more recently when grandkids came to stay.

[@Vixen86ed46]

Vinegar for a couple hours, s.o.s pad it clean then spray with rust protectant for tools, you'll be amazed!!

[@CicadaAndCo]

Thanks!

[@simhifree]

Was that your dog, that was in the car, making a funny face?

[@nangel270]

I am so envious. Clearing out and renewing old spaces is my jam. It’s hard work but the adventure great and the result so rewarding. You’re going to have a hard time though if spiders bother you 😂.

[@lyndaodell3619]

So many vintage wonderful items the cart would look lovely filled with flowers.Trunk is great.

[@ellensinkinson4459]

The thing with the long handles that opens is for toasted sandwiches. Two slices of bread some cheese in between when you close it cuts it into a round sandwich we had one and they make pretty good toasted sandwiches.

[@MargaretBrett-f6z]

Jaffle iron

[@kriscurtis1015]

The curtain rods fit into a tube fixture which is mounted on the wall and hold a narrow curtain/drape. The fixture swings back and forth. There usually was no center connecting rod; the two side rods just swing out into the room so you could access the windows to open/close them.

[@pattawney5621]

And the era is Deco. I said the same thing!

[@suzeq7172]

That was the actor Maurice Chevalier in the photo in the last trunk.

[@johnwade5747]

Man oh man! You could have the biggest yard sale and some of that stuff might be worth more money than you realize like the dishes! If I were you I would spread that big cover that looks like a enormous bedsheet I had on the drive and just throw the junk on it to drag it out to the street. I love these kind of videos

[@CicadaAndCo]

Have you seen what we found inside the house?? lol

[@karmamagers537]

We always called the sharp cone thing on a handle as a "dibble". It was used to make holes in the soil for planting.

[@danshuda8629]

Makes you sad you know there was a whole other life here beside You

[@AleenAment-wb2ny]

The second thing you showed after the travel Iron is called a quicky pie maker. You can cook sandwiches or pies in them. We grew up using them

[@CicadaAndCo]

Oh awesome, thank you for sharing that! We had no idea what that one was! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year 😄

[@pamclift5446]

We used to make pies and sandwiches when camping on open fire.

[@jmsw9910]

Make sure you butter the outside of the bread before making pies or hot sandwiches so they don't stick to the metal. I love making those while camping.

[@CicadaAndCo]

@@jmsw9910 thanks!

[@jodic7760]

The old doilies/lace and fabric can be sold. Those look beautiful!

[@CicadaAndCo]

It's very popular right now.

[@vanessabrown9564]

Dibber is right, for making hole in soil to plant a seed or seedling. The other thing is a toasted sandwich maker. Butter two slices of bread, put in butter side out and you can add your filling, cheese, tomato etc. close up and it cuts to the perfect round shape. Put on a gas or electric stove to cook, turning every few minutes. We used to gave one in the 60’s in the UK. Brings back memories…….

[@lisaglassford9574]

Ooh. Door stops are nice.

[@TinaBreon-eg3sw]

I love dollies. You can do some creative things with them. You don't have to be old to enjoy them.

[@CicadaAndCo]

I agree! I’m planning to wash and frame some of them 😊

[@markkemp9253]

The tool is a dibber for making seed holes. Hi from Australia.

[@CicadaAndCo]

Hi from Florida!

[@JamesFox1]

thaat top drawer you just sso randomly threw to the side is aa paart of thaat chest aand that design waas aa 1870`s through 1940`s with high sides top drawer 50`s n 60`s seen a shorter side wall /' depth drawer , thaat chest is old as well and yes those drawers count in evaluations

[@CicadaAndCo]

Thank you, that’s awesome info! What you can’t tell from the video is unfortunately that particular trunk had been rained on for years through a hole in the roof and was disintegrating, but it’s a testament to its quality that were were able to save the contents. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@canyondiva493]

To use the coffee pot put ground coffee in the center section. Boil water and pour into the top section. It will drip through into the bottom section. The green probe is a dibble. You use it to plant bulbs. The round thing with handles is a toast press. You put a slice of bread on each side, fill with cheese, jam, ham, pie filling or whatever you like. Close it together and trim off what hangs out, then hold it over a gas stove flame or campfire until the bread is toasted and the filling is hot. It will seal the edges so you have a little sweet or savory hand pie.

[@marywalker2896]

Yes boxes can be worth something. Be sure to check them out!!!

[@cynthiaclee9209]

OMG the way you threw that chest tray, I nearly had a heart attack, that makes the chest worth a hell of a lot more money, most are missing the tray, please be more careful

[@CicadaAndCo]

What you couldn’t see on video is that the trunk had been under a hole in the garage roof for years in the Florida heat and humidity. It was covered in mold, had holes in it and was basically disintegrating. We love antiques and have collected and sold them for years. It’s hard to not be able to save every item, but we’ve painstakingly saved and hand washed hundreds of items from our house now (while also saving the house itself). Thank you for watching!

[@sarahprice1375]

The Christmas decorations are just beautiful 😍

[@romonaelrod7870]

I think that the round thing with long handle is for cooking sandwiches over a fire. The "tea pot" is probably coffee pot or chocolate pot.

[@Thomas63r2]

I am a young senior who has been slowly working through my accumulation of stuff. I don't want my family to have to spend a bunch of time sorting through my stuff that I know they most likely have no interest, and for sure I don't want it to be sold off to some stranger who will throw most of it away, maybe donate some still good but unsellable stuff, and then sell off the rest. I would much rather do the rehoming myself, or sell for what I know is the value. Did this woman have any family? - or were they too far away and just sold the house complete?

[@pierrelarocque3214]

You could send me a clear picture of the documents and I could translate them for you, the first one I saw is from a public notary, in France the notary is the person doing the real estate transactions (napoleonic code vs common law). So it is probably a land transaction.

[@lindathompson9334]

A frwnch teacher atthehigh school can probably decipher the french writing. A collage of some of these items framed for the house would be cool, including her picture.

[@pamelakincaid7489]

[@patriotmem2645]

the green tool is used to plant bulbs, I believe. oh, just read the other comment!! LOL

[@lindaroyal8161]

Ooooo - what an adventure! Even though it's work, it would still be fun to sort through everything left behind; uncover hidden treasures and the owner's story. Suggestion - I would make a scrapbook of articles, photos and related paperwork of the owner. Maybe also a shadow box frame to display a few nice keepsakes. I'd also find a really cool box she left behind to keep momentos, small treasures and other items that were precious to her - The Legacy Casa Marie Box! It's really cool to learn about her from her belongings and treasures. She loved her dogs, from the clothing, possibly owned something from Tiffany's, from the box, her story is starting to unfold - how exciting! The lavender flower china is pretty. You'll be able to have a pretty interesting Estate Sale once the house is all sorted out. The last trunk was super cool, love the old paperwork. I'd for sure frame the maps and a photo of her for somewhere inside.

[@travinaquesenberry3543]

Right after your portable iron the little round with a long handles was what the older people when they use bedpans and the little pots they throw it outside they would put hot coals in that and stay between your in their beds to warm them up or their slaves would

[@starlapercle9575]

I love a drip pot.. you add your grounds in the basket , then put water to boil on the stove... pour your water at to top part and allow to drip over the grounds... I use it when the electricity is out for like a hurricane... It make the best coffee.. Enjoy or send to me.

[@AndresVosu]

I think it’s to make a hole in the ground for when you are planting or putting in seeds.

[@dawndefrance9070]

Watch what you do with handmade items like doilies they can be worth a fortune most items are from $10.00 to thousands .... Even tattered.

[@buzzyanderson4131]

The green thing is a seed planter. It probably has measurements on the side that helps you plant the seeds a certain depth. It creates a whole, and then you put the seed in the hole in the ground. Very valuable for gardeners.

[@sarahprice1375]

Called a dibber

[@LenoraKimball]

The green dibber is also used to plant seedlings. After the soil is prepped, you simply place the point of the dibber in the soil, move it around in a circle/at an angle, to make room / a hole in which to place the seedling.
