Estate sale treasures! unpacking some items from an estate sale!

[@holly5791]

My sister had that identical Barbie. Hers was the redhead and mine had black hair...called a bubble cut. We got ours the Christmas of 1961. If the price is not astronomical, I would love to have her. Good finds! 😊👍🏻

[@jackiebender6700]

Duck lamp was what they call TV lamps. They made them in black Panthers and other lamps. So enjoy watching I see things I had as a child also things my mom and aunt collected they loved there antiques.

[@rhondamartin1251]

I loved the door knobs you don't see those anymore. Also the small yellow lamp it was nice also (It looked yellow any ways).

[@rubyscuriosities350]

I need to watch more..... in the past three weeks I’ve watched every single KZbin I can find that you’ve made

[@chanaalexander7446]

I love the television lamp. My granny had one just like it. She had floral foam in it with fake ivy. We were never allowed to watch tv without it being on. The television was going to damage our eyes if we didn't have light (LOL). I'm 64 and so that was in the late 50's and early 60's.

[@esthernowack2008]

I'm 78 and my mother in law gave me an old tv lamp of a sailing ship. It sits on my frig to this day. It is mauve and gray.

[@donnaholenski3562]

As for the Barbie doll. I believe she is Barbie's friend Midge, so very rare. Only sold in the first few years of Barbie,

[@letsbhappy7280]

Great finds...I love vintage unique items. FUN!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@XtremeKaiba]

I love the forest print, I live in the hills and woods of Pennsylvania, reminded me of home. You could step right into that picture and be there, it looks more like a window than a picture.

[@ExploringwithJimmy]

When I explore abandoned homes I see all kinds of collectables you talk about on your channel Awesome channel an video Take care

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Jimmy!

[@Mary-np9sf]

Black and White was my first Scotch. Just loved the counter advertisement

[@ghiagoo]

Really nice mix of vintage stuff. Great haul you picked up

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Great video. I enjoyed seeing what you bought. Nice hats, Barbie, and all. Thanks for sharing.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for watching Tina! :)

[@CandyHolladay]

those stir sticks!!!! They are the bomb! Great video.

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

Barbie must be worth a little, if I lived near your store I'd be in there drooling on that matchbox lesney counter !

[@FarawayPictures]

You've GOT to invest in something that lets you use 2 hands.

[@alisonmary1443]

I am watching this from Edinburgh and I can see the Castle from the balcony, it's so pretty lit up at night. Oh and I'm sober lol :D

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Very interesting items like the duck light never know what's out their

[@MsSephrena]

Your finds brought back a lot of memories - Especially loved the duck lamp and Black/White Scotch Ad.... Thanks for sharing - New to your channel, and reviewing some of your previous vids - Nice stuff...

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very neat stuff there for sure. A treasure trove!

[@mattadrev471]

that alligator is the bomb

[@amyjo1293]

Those flask make me laugh. My grandpa loved the old kind of war girl pin-ups in nudity and he collected the flasks and fancy car colognes. Haha

[@kristineguetschow9134]

I have that mallard duck tv lamp, but the base is chipped and broken. I keep it b/c the mallard is unbroken and I am a mallard duck fan. It is from the 1950’s, or at least that is when my parents got the lamp. Thanks for the treasure tour.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for watching!

[@stude1953]

All I know about Barbie's is about #1 in case I ever came across one at a Flea market or house sale and that is the #1 had holes in the bottom of her feet for a wire stand they sold. Also she usually came in a black & white swim suit. So you might have a #2 or later.

[@maddievega7464]

the Aunt Jemima Afro Americana sold on e bay for $325, and I thought I saw it on antique road show too.

[@paulganser7386]

When I heard you say " Advertising always sells " I thought "Well, yeah! " A double meaning statement.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Yes you’re right! :)

[@supertrouper2550]

I think those stirrers are called Zulu Lulu or something. I always see them for sale on eBay. Not too PC these days, but collectible to some people, especially in the package!

[@jennyq4979]

That Barbie looked more like Midge who was her BFF. You got a lot of cool stuff, good job!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Jenny! Appreciate you watching :)

[@jennyq4979]

I forgot to add that both of my parents were antique dealers and it was very interesting and a lot of fun for them.

[@realetreasures6443]

'58 was about when Midge first came out.

[@Icenisongsparrow]

it is Midge.

[@tallblonde1976]

No it's not Midge it's Barbie.midge had freckles.

[@pegsbarton6353]

I really wanted a closer look at those beautiful vintage hats you unpacked early on. You were so quick putting them away :-[ I love vintage clothing. I suppose they have sold by now? Loving your videos, you have my dream job, even digging through the rubbish in your hoarder home and old antique shop! I would just love clearing and restoring and finding new homes for all the stuff...making the places beautiful again. Mmmm.....

[@mbstoneseeker]

Oh my!! I have my Mom's " Blackies Childrens Annual", from where was a little girl! Born 1920.Thanks for sharing this video. No I know the are more Blackie books out there.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

So glad you liked the video Maggie!

[@Mr.Humphrey60]

!!Barbie with a tatoo!! All good finds👍👍

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Some neat stuff!

[@Mercmad]

great buys on the painting of the rail bridge and the barbie Doll!. Ichad some Boys own papers Books like that Girls one from the same era. That Bar cabinet you have looks to me like it started life as a gramophone .I used to have an Edison gramophone in the same type of cabinet and i've known people back in the 60's who would buy them and turn them into cocktail cabinets .

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

It would have been a bit small for a gramophone, but that would be good use of an old cabinet!

[@Mercmad]

I've seen little ones, often made to look like a peice of French style antique Furniture and often made very nicely from beautiful wood.

[@01baia]

Check the porcelain lady in the dark red dress. If she was made by Royal Doulton, she may well be worth quite a lot.

[@shangrila66]

Congrats ! Great finds . These Cocktail Mixers in the Bar- Cabinet are funny and good sellers ... Also the Strombecker Cars are very good , Barbie as well ... Wish a good score on these amazing finds ... Regards PAUL

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Paul! That’s very supportive:)

[@margaretdrew8727]

Love the things you found.

[@Sealutions1]

i grew up in Fort Saskatchewan so was interesting to see the painting, the train bridge was torn down a bout 15-20 years ago

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

It was such a neat bridge

[@Sealutions1]

it was.... i should go back and visit one day... i will look up your store when i am in Edmonton next... i'm sure we have some mutual friends.. (guessing the Bodnars come by once in a while)

[@81Ruudkez]

Hey Alex, love the vlogs! why don;t you put links to your social media below the vids? :) would make life a little easier

[@marshakarbowsky4660]

Royal Dalton figurine in red dress vintage very valuable .

[@squallreviews788]

The Transformer might be part of the Diaclone line from Japan. If it's only stamped Takara that would be the case. If it has Hasbro stamped, then it's Transformers. I believe there would be another stamp inside where the driver would sit.

[@juliethompson1370]

Omg. I know that bridge. I grew up in the Fort

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Are you still local? You should come see the shop :)

[@juliethompson1370]

Curiosity Incorporated we re in Penticton but my brother still lives in the Fort.

[@YourHighnessPls]

The name of the yellow transformer Lambo is Sunstreaker.

[@joshuarankin1905]

Alright I'm starting to appreciate your style. The Seltzer bottle is quite interesting!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Joshua! :)

[@MowenMcGuire]

that Barbie is a collectors item and will bring in lots of cash.

[@MelArchbold]

You found some pretty cool stuff ❤️

[@b-man1232]

Loved the Scottish flask!!

[@sammygirl5835]

It’s hard to tell from the picture but I think the cow thing is a creamer, possibly a delft blue from Holland? Cow creamers are collectable, the blue interior is unusual, I did a quick image search and only saw one with the blue inside, so it might be worth something.

[@queenofyeay]

I believe that Duck lamp is a TV light from the 50's... That particular one was produced by Lane & Co. I feel pretty sure. As you may know TV lights only lasted a decade or so, then disappeared. Yours might be a later Lane product as most Lane Mallard TV lights had a simpler styled planter.

[@reeneebeany7706]

We were told not to watch TV in the dark because it was bad for your eyes. My grandma had one that was a circular shape and when the light bulb heated it up it turned and displayed different seasons of the year. I loved it. I still like night lights for the bath and kitchen.

[@btpearce]

My brother was reading the want ads in the local paper a few years ago when he came across an add for someone looking for old barbie dolls. He remembered seeing one my sister in law had up in the attic. It was from about the same year as yours , They gave the guy a call and he came 3 hrs drive to see it. The guy paid her $900 for it.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

That would be nice!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Funny ;) Thanks For watching Wanda!

[@dwighttupper3799]

dukes of hazard first aired in 1979

[@nancycharlotte3140]

The date on the Barbie is more about the body style, not the age. I look at the hairdo and the clothes. I'm older so I have seen that kind of Barbie in the mid- to - late 60's.

[@susanadams290]

Duck lamp- 50’s. Used to have one.

[@gosportjamie]

The writing on the Black & White display looks different to that seen on post-war items, which are fairly common in the UK so I'd be inclined to think it might be pre-war, probably 1930s...

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@annahutchinson]

I had the orignal Barbie my Mother gave it to my cousin later found out it was worth 5000.00 to collectors. So check it out.

[@tracymckenna8456]

Squeee!!! Vinatage Barbie! Titian hair!

[@sirthicenskoorb3684]

Some stuff from the 50s and 60s. Was common when I was a kid. Now its vintage. Who would have thought. Use to have moving beer signs from Coors and others. Wish I had them now. I lived in an old town. Lots of antique shops.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Sounds like a dream for me!

[@lavernecady8832]

Loved watching your terrific score on this estate haul. I'm interested in knowing if the black figurine, I call her "Aunt Jemima" is glass/porcelain. I have her and the butler, ( "Uncle Ben" ) as salt and pepper shakers in plastic. Got them at an indoor garage sale while working for the federal government over 30 years ago for $.50. The sale was for the benefit of raising money for annual United Campaign. I am not one to be offended when I see black art. My co-workers tried to buy the set back from me, thinking I was offended. I said no, of course. They're proudly on display in my dining room area, worth about $35 for the pair last time I checked. Check her out she may be worth some $$. Again, don't be shy when you run across items like these and just push them aside. I love seeing stuff like this.

[@yokomzare201]

Great finds You have there

[@lovealldolls5237]

The barbie is a american girl barbie once you have her restored ahe will be worth a few houndred good find

[@andreaskonrad4315]

Hi, always enjoying your videos. I would be really interested if you could do a followup feature if you really sold that stuff and at what prices...

[@marywyatt4087]

That Seltzer bottle might have been a UK recycle. Great Britain had rationing up until the early 50s, and nothing useful was thrown away.

[@onetuliptree]

Funny about the school map, no wonder I'm a chocolate fiend.

[@bioLarzen]

If you kept those cameras in the store, I can only hope you called the display you put the first one in "Retina Display" ;)

[@cameoechols]

Seltzer bottles are rare because their is only one company that still sells seltzer (I think in New York) so they try to buy used seltzer bottles because they don’t make them anymore....

[@tootall5559]

Barbie prices all over the place, low of 30 to high of 250 Much depends on the dress and hairstyle

[@VictoriaN72]

Midge doll! I had one!

[@Siansonea]

It's not Midge, it's a 1965 Barbie With Lifelike Bendable Legs in the Titian hair color. It appears to be in decent condition, and could be worth a couple hundred bucks.

[@erin19030]

So many personal lost treasures

[@eege742]

Can imagine the painting of W.F. Irwin will sell for a good price. Or keep it as the artist is a local and was Art Instructor.

[@thestuffz]

talking about the vintage bar stuff, what do you figure the popularity of 1920-1940's buffets? we have one with a mirror along the back. about 4' tall, 2 big doors, one long drawer along the bottom, mirror is about 6" tall, runs the whole length at the back. was from an air force base PLQ.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Antique shops like them for display cases but otherwise they can be a hard sell

[@cjpenning]

Dukes of Hazzard didn't come out until 1979. Did they repackage an earlier figure from 1974 as Bo Duke?

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Yes that is just the casting date for that body style

[@nancieblackburn3176]

That is not Barbie! That is her best friend Midge!!! In one of your other videos you called Smokey the Bear, a smoking bear. Lol

[@reneeturner8099]

The Barbie is an American Girl Barbie. Probably the 1966 version.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Renee

[@Siansonea]

@@CuriosityIncorporated This is actually the 1965 version of Barbie With Lifelike Bendable Legs. It is colloquially known among collectors as the "American Girl" Barbie, which is a description of her hairstyle. If both her knees still bend and snap and hold their position, she is worth a fair amount, usually at least a couple hundred dollars. In your travels, if you find Barbie dolls marked on the body as having been made in Japan, that pinpoints the doll's date of manufacture as before 1972. Many of the most valuable Barbie dolls are from the Japan period, but there are many Taiwan-made dolls that are fairly valuable as well, and even certain Korea and Hong Kong Barbie dolls can be worth a fair amount. In general, the country of manufacture is a much more reliable indicator of a Barbie doll's age, since the patent date was not changed unless a significant change was made to the doll's body construction. Many dolls marked 1966 were manufactured well into the 1990s, but the 1966 date was in reference to the patent date of the Twist 'N Turn waist feature that was originally on the market in 1967.

[@ihappyu2]

@@Siansonea The marking said it was a 1958 barbie. It could be worth $8000.00 if in mint condition which it doesn't look like could be $27450.00. That's crazy.

[@Siansonea]
