Estate Sale Saturday - Military & Vintage Finds

[@janiceryan3973]

You are my FAVORITE ! I just found you two days ago and I’ve been binge watching. You are so calm and enjoyable to watch. So smart too!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you, glad you found the channel & enjoy it!

[@NanaColeen]

Three years later, you amaze me😘 with all of your grace and knowledge👍 I will keep digging back in time to watch and learn and have fun. I know looking at the end of life(nobody wants to talk about it) and I remember things from what you look at.👍👏Love you❣

[@justjean222]

I just recently found your videos and subscribed. You bring such a smile to my face with your enthusiasm and also wanting to preserve history through pictures. I did estate sales for 25 years till I had to retire due to a spinal injury. Many of the sales I conducted were bank ordered and I was instructed to throw away all photos and and personal letters because there was no surviving family or the family did not want them. I would bag them up in trash bags and it would break my heart. I asked the the bank executive I was working for if I could have them and she said absolutely. Well, here I am many years later with all these photos and other paper memorabilia that I still love to look at and have basically put together peoples lives from the early 1800’s to early 1900’s. I was always so sad when families came in before a sale to get expensive antiques and then proceeded to throw away pictures. Thanks to young people like you, some families precious history is being preserved. ❤️

[@PaperandMoose]

Jean - thank you for your comment & for your desire to save pictures & memories! It’s always nice to know that there are others out there that feel the same way that I do & that many stories have been saved from the trash. I think that those that collect photographs & ephemera are a special kind of historian because we form personal connections with the items & see a different type of value in collecting them. Families may have forgotten those in the photos, but their moment in time still remains with us that collect & cherish those pieces of paper.

[@evarene07]

I love to collect old papers, pieces of jewelry, books, ephemera even little things found on the street while walking my puppy; and and recreate junk journals of various designs; giving these treasures meaning and new life. Some people just don’t value the days gone by nor the people who lived them and it’s very sad. We all will be a part of history at some point and I’d like to think not just thrown away in some plastic garbage bag.

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

that is so cool. I was afraid she was gonna say absolutley not.

[@lissahenry6751]

The duck is a recipe card holder.

[@kristihonkala3472]

Oh my god the bathrooms are just fabulous! So glad you showed us!

[@PaperandMoose]

Weren't they amazing?! I loved, loved the wallpaper and wished there would have been some extra rolls laying around!

[@robinrobinson5757]

I love to watch your videos. I love old photos. I had some pictures you would have loved. I lost everything in hurricane Michael. There were a lot of photos of my dad and his platoon during WW II. There were some of them in the jungle. There were a couple of dad manning his machine in the jungle. I can never replace them. Keep up with what you do. You're great. ☮️

[@Lilyandmoomin]

When I look at photos from both world wars, I feel an immense sense of pride for those wonderful boys and men that fought for our freedom.but I also feel immense sorrow and loss for all those souls that never came home. Thank you for sharing those beautiful photos

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for watching!

[@GreatRhyno]

Love channels like this i also love BARGAIN BARONS They also search for this kind of things really nice tfs

[@floridagirl330]

I’m so glad you rescued the photos and dog tags. It always makes me sad to see old family Bibles in thrift stores that have family ancestry written inside of them.

[@mmw55122]

We would make good hunting buddies--my focus and research is on vintage garments, jewelry, accessories, linens and crafts. I would grab vintage holiday and glassware to see if you wanted them. I am so so glad you got the papers, photos and albums. They are too important to just be lost--they all deserve to live on with someone who respects them.

[@carolynsimone8647]

So sad no family member wanted photos and dog tags. ..Enjoyed your finds...🥰

[@marya.1650]

Love that you got Allen & his dog tags - Plus the other memories pertaining to him & his wife! I love the Paris wooden shoes! I would have brought home that horse also❣️ I've got two similar to him. Also two deer made like them. Bottle brush trees - Always!! And the little doll...♥️ I had to go immediately over to the net to look up vintage fish wallpaper....The second bathroom was my favorite ~ with the seahorses...♥️ Thank you for sharing!! Fun!!! Have a great week❣️

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

i love your appreciation for older things. its really nice to see!

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

The duck is a recipe holder, we have one on the top of our refrigerator.

[@Harddrive56]

I'm always on the lookout for KZbin gold and this time I stumbled into a real treasure. "Paper and Moose"; and if I may borrow her line, as I believe it aptly applies for me here: '...I'm not sure who this woman is, but, I like her style." Your a natural videographer with a wonderful intro, a very pleasant speaking voice and a smooth ending to your videos...So glad I ended up here and subscribed. Thank you for sharing your passion. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for your kind words! Glad that you enjoy the channel and hope that you continue to enjoy future episodes!

[@kellyfiore4296]

THE WALLPAPER! Amazing! We have the exact same likes. I collect paper, old books, old photos and smalls. I love watching your channel because you pick up everything I love! 😂

[@PaperandMoose]

I was so hoping that I would have stumbled upon a roll or two of that wallpaper somewhere in the house!

[@theaccidentalcollector802]

I just discovered your channel and I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. The duck with the clothespin really took me back, I made one in 1970 in industrial arts class and my mom kept it on the back of her stove until her passing at 90. Thank you for rescuing the WW II articles. My dad served in the Pacific, those men and women should be remembered.

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad you found the channel! Take a look at my video on Allen Bunn, a WWII soldier. I purchased a few photo albums from this estate sale that contained his photos from WWII. It probably is my favorite video on my channel as I love WWII history & being able to share the stories of those who served.

[@happiness026]

I remember the sparklers when I was a kid I’m 63 lol

[@nanharrison2997]

Love the wooden shoes 🧡

[@debclevinger7233]

Love your finds! You read my mind when you showed his dog tags. It is sad.

[@Eveningsong]

Your finds were like an autobiography of a snippet of Alan's life in WWII - Very interesting:)

[@kbdoor4415]

Why is it when I see your treasures they bring such a feeling of familiarity and comfort. Past life???? Lol

[@frndofbear]

The sparkler boxes are SO clever of you to find. I am a long-term yardsaler and I totally would have overlooked them! Too cute!

[@PaperandMoose]

I don't have a lot of vintage 4th of July decor, so I thought that the sparklers would be a great addition!

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

omg. my grandma used to have those little flower magnets on her fridge!

[@fletch218]

Your videos are so painful and wonderful to watch. I want to look closer at things you just pass by. Brutal! I love it.

[@frndofbear]

Yes! That little tin toy drum was totally me. I was mentally BEGGING Paper&Moose to pick it up!

[@wormod]

The memories, if not handed down through the new generations, make us forget about our history, and sad as you said, that no one has more interest in the things of that family, however better that they are sold than thrown in the garbage, so at least they remain alive . Thanks for your nice video that I find very interesting, sometimes the channels like yours would deserve to be broadcast on historical television channels. Ciao from venezia.😉

[@christinegreywolf]

I save a lot of family photos, military dog tags and items like that too... because it makes me sad that no one left in the family cares about those items. I am glad that you saved so many treasures.

[@sandranodine1151]

I recently subscribed to your videos. I love that you are keeping someone's history alive when their family doesn't want to. I couldn't imagine not wanting all there is from my family not being kept in the family, but I guess some families aren't interested. Thank you! I hope you can find out Alan fought at normady or a big battle and also where he is buried.

[@PaperandMoose]

I'm in the middle of researching Allen & hoping to have his video uploaded sometime within the upcoming week!

[@Paula_KentuckyRed]

The bird with the clothes pin is for the mail or bills normally but notes will work too. Nice haul! Love the vintage hankies. The glasses you picked up early in the vid made me giggle. They had scantily clad ladies. Those are WWII era when you put an ice cold drink in them the clothes disappear . My Grandfather had one, my Dad sent back from overseas in WWII.

[@BOBSCOTTONLINE]

That's the Belgian flag - same colors as Germany but different orientation (they weren't "Allies" during WWII) :-) Love your passion and the sharing in your vids - we'll keep watching!

[@christineleemans8065]

Look up Battle of the Bulge while researching. Based on the dates and the Belgian items, he may have been a soldier in that area for that battle. Intense battle, bloodiest battle for the US in WWII.

[@rickydemetrius7667]

instablaster...

[@holly5791]

The modeling clay reminds me of my school days. Taco Stacks would be proud of you grabbing that blow mold. The island themed glasses remind me of people being enthused with Fiji at one time...50’s &60’s. If someone wanted to run away, they would say, “I’m going to Fiji”. 🤷‍♀️ That seemed to be an example of doing something crazy. Your Easter plate could be hung with a plate rack or holder without damaging it. For a table top, an easel would be good. You can purchase one at the Dollar Tree for $1.00. I’m enjoying your videos so much. I love when you find old greeting cards and photos. Those were intimate parts of someone’s life at one time. 😊👍🏻

[@davidvincent2nd757]

Great snowman ⛄️

[@paulakent3752]

You could make an altered book all about Alan. Nice haul.

[@paulanull8731]

1:34 OMG That kitchen floor is amazing. It looks like a linoleum rug from the 30s or newer but that pattern is classic. Lovely stuff. 10:09 Is Scandinavian made. I've only seen them in the wild broken and the worst glue jobs ever. Wish I could tell you more but their classic Mid-century design is wonderful. If I ever find a whole one I would own it. too.

[@poemsforgod2548]

I love old things too but then I am old hehe. I enjoy your love for the things you buy. Have you ever watched Curiosity inc they are a nice family who love and respect vintage things too, just recently going through and redoing an old potters house.. You might enjoy that channel. I subscribed to your channel cause it is a breath of fresh air in these crazy dayz. thx and cu next time.

[@glennpaton8283]

There is a collectors site called US Militaria Forum, which is free to join. They have members who collect attributable groupings such as your dog tags, photos, hankies and shoes lot. If you put them up there either in their ”Groupings” or “What’s it Worth” sub forums you might make a bit more on the items.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for the info Glenn! I will definitely have to check this out for the future. For now, I might keep Allen’s photo & dog tags. I’d like to do more research on him & his service during the war.

[@revelatoryartist]

Estate sales are always interesting.

[@lisagrafton2529]

I'm rewatching this and when I saw you look at the pin-up girl tumblers I was hoping you'd grab them. I think those are the ones when you fill them with liquid, or look at them from the back, they have no clothes on. When you didn't grab them, I was curious how many people told you about it!

[@cyndiduncan7795]

Great estate sale! I would have been in heaven. I love the doll and the vintage Easter dish. I've never seen wooden shoes that look like that.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

I was watching another KZbinr and it flashed on my screen that you were lived ... So I quickly clicked off the one that I was watching!! I can't miss any of yours!!! Love the expression on your face as you look at the vintage items !! There were so many wonderful items there! I wish that I could had been there and had tons of money: I would have yelled out, How Much for Everyone??? The wallpaper in the bathroom was to die for!

[@PaperandMoose]

I was hoping that somehow extra rolls of the wallpaper would have been saved & for sale, especially from the first bathroom.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

@@PaperandMoose Wouldn't it have been wonderful to find rolls of that wallpaper!!

[@annettemurielle]

The white horse you have at 10:11 I've seen on Crazy Lamp Lady. I can't recall the make, but it has resale value. :-)

[@MrJunk78]

1:38 That flooring! 😍

[@PaperandMoose]

That's one of my favorite parts about estate sales - getting to see inside the homes!

[@rutroh9647]

Yes. The brown and cream kitchen (?) floor with the southwestern motif is awesome and I love that rolls into a faux flagstone in the next room.

[@gstokely7]

You found some nice item at that sale. Enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackiemiller6613]

I can hardly wait to see your WW2 video , I am really interested in that particuler era. BT W this is the first PM video I have ever watched, sawcthe vid with Taco at the storage unit.☺

[@rundoetx]

Tucker Upper's Mom loves wooden shoes. You should send him a pic!!

[@adonosubs9428]

Really enjoy your videos...great to see some history preserved and not thrown out.....Might start collecting some old photos myself...plenty of places here in Ireland to start.

[@PaperandMoose]

And the best thing is photos take up so little space. A great thing to collect!

[@tracylily7235]

The tumblers with the pinup girls on them, my pop pop had them and when you add liquid, there bathing suites disappear.😱

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

great finds. My Mom was Belgiun so it started my heart racing when your showed the hankie.

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

I love bottle brush trees too...command strips for the candy dish on the wall..nice video!

[@LL-sq8se]

That bathroom was awesome 👌 you have Excellent taste! I love the odd and unusual too! I have a Shrek glass that has Fiona and the baby's on it too! Love your videos!

[@rhondaedblom2109]

I am a history buff so really enjoy some of the treasures you find. Thought I saw you pick up a Winston Churchill bust bottle stopper but did not see it reveiwed on your recap. I would have loved to find something like that as his life is fascinating to me.

[@crystalwaters7081]

Awesome video! Love the German Easter bowl, and everything you bought really! Glad to see your new channel! 👍😁

[@laurahopwood3332]

I got so excited seeing the great things as you went through the house. So much that I would have purchased. I think the bathrooms are perfect, breaks my heart to think that someone might come in and gut them. Thanks for taking us with you on the estate sale journey!

[@PaperandMoose]

I hope whomever the house goes to, they will appreciate the bathrooms. If they can’t be “saved” or fixed to maintain standard, it would be nice to cut off a piece of the wallpaper, frame, & save it. I just loved that wallpaper!

[@TheCraftyraven]

I love how happy the bathrooms made you 💕

[@PaperandMoose]

I wish I would have found left over rolls of the bathroom wallpaper. I would have bought them with no hesitation!

[@garybathe4178]

Every photo has a story to tell

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

love those little vases

[@rutroh9647]

Right. Those wallpapers in the bathroom are the bomb. Great adventure, thanks for taking us along.

[@lynndegg9523]

Love the Easter dish and your videos

[@ErinEff]

That fish wallpaper in the second bathroom 😍😍😍

[@Idolmakercat]

Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing the things you bought. Have a great day.

[@scrapylady]

Hello I'm a new subi. Just saw this old video. I'm not sure if you don't know about junk journals. But I saw you passed on linens laces and old birthday Cards. That's the finds journals makers are looking for and also old photos. And beside those items old wallpapers. Next time ask about what is going to happen to the house and ask if you can cut some off. My niece always carries a pocket knife and asked if she can cut some off some times she's lucky and the still have some rolls left. And she and her friends use it in there journals. Just a thought. I really enjoy you videos.

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad you found the channel! I was hoping that I would have found rolls of the old wallpaper, that would have been fantastic!

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

nice old potrait. i love old portraits like that!

[@catherinethompson2525]

This sparklers are great they I am sure you could use on the 4th we had fun with them growing up!!! Love the vintage packaging

[@terrik38]

those flower vases look like they were probably from back in the 60's , you picked up some nice and good stuff :D

[@igneousidol]

the clothespin holder thing, my son made one either in scouts or school...not painted or duck shaped, but that was probably popular at the time

[@AllieDobbert64]

That was a great video! What a wonderful estate sale!! So many great things to pick from!! You did good!!

Some cool stuff you found .

[@marianjones6514]

Hey Renee - Loved all the things that you got at the sale! I have a smaller version of the Scandinavian (?) horse you got. Mine is light blue and I've had him for years. Don't know where he came from, but I love having him around. You didn't show the corks that you picked up earlier. Hope you got them - they were neat.

[@PaperandMoose]

I did buy the corks 🙂

Were you able to find that Soldier's family? Try your local VFW or American Legion post,they maybe able to help...or their historian.

[@PaperandMoose]

Yes, I've had success in finding information on Allen. Hoping to put the video out this week featuring him!

Yes, the best was the photo and the dogtags.

Working on a video featuring a little history of the man in the military photo. I plan to keep it in my collection ❤️

[@SissyKay]

@@PaperandMoose That's great!

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

my aunt collected old dolls!

[@lisabruce1732]

I loved everything that you purchased. But I would ask what was so special about the “household labels “ ? That bathroom was freaking awesome. The wallpaper was spectacular.

[@PaperandMoose]

I’ve never found un-used kitchen labels before, so that is why I was so excited. (Geek alert! Haha)

[@cookiemomartist]

Are you kidding? In my mind, they were the best find, but I am a paper lover from way back.

Hi loved some of the items that you picked and I'm interested to know what you do with the paper ephemera . Do you make things with them and do you resell on Etsy - or Ebay - or at the local markets.

[@nicolethijs5428]

Not German flag but Belgian flag. The first clogs, looks like a real old pair of Dutch clogs.
