Those farm implements, both full-size and miniatures, were fantastic! The knitting machines were fascinating. I'd like to see one in operation. All of the old sewing/sewing-related/thread work items have always fascinated me. I have my granddad's old crosscut saw, and I have my great-granddad's corn sheller. I liked the oak icebox that was next to the fridge. That is a truly fascinating museum! Thanks for the tour!

Weren't they great? I especially was impressed by the steam models, it's one thing to have had a factory mass produce machines but another to have scale model copies done painstakingly by hand. I don't recall seeing one of those knitting machines anywhere before. I'm so used to finding crosscut saws in Washington state that I forget they're not everywhere it's neat one stayed in your family! I was so glad to get to bring this to everyone and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@@TheAntiqueNomadShorts The scale models were, indeed, quite impressive! To think that, if someone was small enough to operate them, they could actually be used the same way the full-sized ones were used. I wondered what the knitting machines were capable of making, and if they have different settings, so they could make different items. It would be fascinating to watch one do its "knit one, purl two" thing 😂 I'd like to have somewhere to hang granddad's crosscut saw. It's already inside the house, but it's just leaned against the wall, setting on the floor, behind a chair. I need to start looking, to see if there is somewhere I can hang it. I did, indeed, enjoy seeing the things in that museum, and I'm happy you brought it to us!

Peony is a fine specimen of a fiberglass cow!🙌🏻 I saved a pair of my husbands work jeans because they still had the scent of Gear oil and solvents. Then I unknowingly placed it in a box lined with a trash bag that was LAVENDER scented! 😒
@TheAntiqueNomadShorts4 ай бұрын
I thought Peony was great, but I wouldn't drink the milk! I think it's cool you saved a work outfit, it's such a part of the life of anyone with mechanical skills and each stain and tear represent something they built or rebuilt. Funny to imagine how that would smell with lavendar though!

Hi George, there's a documentary series called Ice Pilots chronicalling a Northwest Territories commercial airline called Buffalo Air. I think they filmed it around the time of the realt-estate crash. Their claim to fame is keeping DC3's and DC.4's that were decommissioned after WW 2. They were heavily used by bush pilots because they could withstand the cold being so robust. Even though they could fly them, many ran aground ao the Arctic is littered with them. They keep a few on hand for parts, and they helped pilots understand how to fix them. Such a cool series because everyone part of the airline had to be tireless, resourceful and tough to keep it going.the conditions were, are grueling.

That is really interesting, I'll look for that! I hadn't heard of the airline but knew the bush pilots favored the DC3 for its toughness.

Hi George I was just wondering looking at all this really old stuff thinking of all the ghosts that maybe hanging around it. I believe in the Paranormal do you? You do estate sales seems to be within the realm of possibilities. I have may have mentioned this before my comments but the reason I watch this to get educated I work for a house cleaning company pretty much the same thing when grandma and grandpa passed away or go to an old age home what the family doesn't want and we take out for a price. Not related to my work but I have seen ghosts when I wasn't looking for them. Relating to my work bring stuff into my home has gotten me contacted. I've had the back of my shirt pulled with two fingers. Do you know the way people do. There was no mistaking of it scared the hell out of me. I just apologized to them on these things happen and explain that I'm trying to do the best I can with this stuff and give it a new home to someone who appreciates it and I appreciate it as well and then I take it outside as fast as possible. The last time it happened. What was the worst something stroke the top of my head with their hand. No LOL. I know how to contacts and everything and thanks for entertainment have a great day.

I had always disdained the idea of paranomal behavior, but we and other estate sale firms have had experiences that make me believe there is something to it! It sounds like you definitely have as well.

@@TheAntiqueNomadShorts thanks for getting back to me George I wasn't a believer in this kind of stuff till I've seen ghosts with my own eyes besides that. My neighbor passed away and we kept seeing him standing in the bathroom window and there was no one in the house. My other neighbor passed away and didn't leave the house. The neighbor across the street got up one morning and saw him walking around in his fuzzy pink slippers no lol checking out the new people's van in his driveway and his mind. The neighbor thought he was from the old age home cuz he looked disheveled. He described them to me to a T. He asked him do you need help and he walked around the van and disappeared in front of his eyes. He was a 350 lb man in nearly had a heart attack had to go back in and be consoled by his wife and couldn't go to work.
