The jars with the stars on the lids are old Maxwell House coffee jars. They are collectable. People like to fill them with old wood clothes pins buttons , spools of thread and other things. Please don't throw them out. Thank you for showing us your clean-out. I loved seeing all the old things you were finding.

[@deannamarie4149]

Very very cool!!! It warms my heart to see that this stuff is interesting to you! None of that comes from IKEA... ☮️

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Aw thank you ♥️

[@kyrad6543]

Or Pottery Barn!

[@gaiadaughter168]

I love it all, i was jst thinking omg i would love that to make this and that to make that ...she is so lucky

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

That old water pump is so cool! I’m so jealous of your picker’s paradise. Some really neat things in there.

[@maggiesue4825]

Logan is a well-known manufacturer of cast iron, and those cauldrons are fantastic!!

[@lindafarner9755]

Box of miscellaneous coffee pot part you thought were dairy related.Old machine off shelve was an old coffee grinder. Jars with star lids instant coffee jar.blue canning jars are worth a few bucks not the clear ones which are still being sold. The round heavy metal object that says 5 inch is a pipe flue to adjust air flow to a stove pipe. Your boxes of glass lamp shades might be the original from the house. The coolest found was the door knocker. I hope it was the original to the house

[@davidcraddock7011]

Linda is correct now I do not have to type that stuff in.

[@margiemistretta8885]

Percalator type coffee parts

[@amysutter2968]

yes percolator style coffee maker baskets and stems and the jars with red lids with stars are Maxwell House coffee

[@amysutter2968]

loved seeing all the old stuff from this room that croquet set is cool

[@sharexoshowxo]

Yep, old 1970 coffee pot parts to brew coffee on the stove... and they still make them today. Camping without a plug to use a drip coffee maker isn't convenient at all. So yes, they still make percolator coffee pots which are also useful if you've had a power outage and have a camp stove or gas BBQ. I live in Washington where we do get outages in the winter and we can still have coffee in the morning. It makes my day.😁

[@PatriotAcresinTexas]

You asked what the aluminum things were and the little round aluminum things with lids? They're inside guts for a coffee percolator (an old school coffee pot.) Also, the long square clear glass dish with the lid is called a refridgerater dish. They're great for keeping things cool in the fridge, like cheese, etc... My Grandmothers had them back in the 60's and 70's and believe it or not you can still buy them at Kroger or Walmart. I bought one a year or two ago for my fridge. I would LOVE to have those cauldrons, or at least one of them. You might want to keep one around to burn sage in after all is done and complete in your home...that way if there's any strange spirits still lingering it may get them to leave and purify the home. You've done a lot of great work there, keep it up and keep the videos coming. You're a very sweet and smart young Woman.

[@glenbo2464]

Love the cast iron cauldrons , many items you found could be worth a few bucks ! You guys got alot done !

[@nowhereman7398]

That croquet set, I think is very collectible. At least they used to be.

[@stephaniestone4737]

I would clean those up, spray paint them black, and use them as planters.

[@brendasas8440]

Wow nothing like stepping way back in time. Some of that stuff was so cool to see. Thanks for sharing!

[@fernonyoutube]

Digging through all this stuff would be so much fun for me. I love seeing that same passion in you for finding beautiful and interesting antiques.

[@lorrainephy8964]

My husband & I are enjoying your videos - you’re doing a great job! Love your “old soul” for the past. 💖 Looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@brothadee5057]

You found some neat old things maybe you could incorporate some of those things into your new place. I really enjoyed going through that with y'all. I felt like a teenager getting to prowl in an abandoned house. Lol

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Hahaha I love that! Thank you for watching

[@brothadee5057]

My pleasure, the place is looking great. Keep up the good work and stay blessed!!!

[@donnap6190]

My God what a treasure trove of history! Thank you for filming it for us!

[@shelleymccrory-martines9906]

Box of what you thought were dairy parts are actually coffee pot percolator parts. I hope you kept the coffee grinder, the food grinder and those beautiful light globes. You can restore the small lamp base and add electrical cord and a lamp globe. Beautiful. That door knocker would be great on the front porch. Lots of great stuff to be kept.

[@TorchwoodPandP]

Saddle bags, croquet set, lamp shades, and the door knocker are all awesome finds. Well done. Yep, that coffee grinder is cute.

[@1927su]

Those old bedpans are taking on value these days! What a cool adventure! Look for bubbles in the glass of the old jars, indicates age and hand-blown!!

[@1927su]

Wow ! Love that vintage croquet game! And in the original box!! Very cool!

[@CindyandBobEllis]

Loved watching you two go through all the cool stuff in the barn.

[@funkeyjournals3674]

A treasure trove of goodness in that out building. I bet your dad was excited about the door knocker. I was excited about that old croquet set! The ones now a days last a couple of years if you’re lucky! TFS❤️

[@joycemetheny8338]

croquet

[@lorimangold2890]

You found some cool things, the coffee grinder, those 2 3 legged cast iron pots, those were used to render lard, and make bars of soap

[@susansolloway6262]

Thanks for the great video. There was a lot of nice things in there. Someone sure was into canning. 😂

[@janetanderson8719]

A lot of those boxes that they packed stuff in sells at thrift shops and antique sales for close to 50.00 to 100.00 dollars. People repurpose them for lots of neat storage. My absolute favorite thing in the world is to find old forgotten things. Lucky you!!

[@rutroh9647]

Scores Galore!...You are adorable Laura and your video style is coming more into focus with each vlog. Thanks.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you 😊

[@pamelachambers1684]

That room is full of antiques!, The box of silver round objects are for the coffee pots ( that are black) in the outside cupboard. I wish I could of been there with you to see all of that nifty stuff!!

[@chrisanderson9856]

That door knocker is amazing!! Either you or your boyfriend held up a damper that said The Adam's Company. Dubuque, Iowa. That is my home town. That was pretty cool to see. At the 5:00 &12:15 is the parts for a forge used by a blacksmith. That item has some value. At the 16:18 mark is a box of coffee pot inserts that hold the grounds. Laura there is some money in that room on antiques and old tools. I wish I lived close I would make you an offer on some things. Also i believe the thing with the crank handle and the little drawer is a coffee mill (grinder). I believe it is quite old. I wish you well in cleaning that space out. Look at it this way you have lots of stuff to be used for redecorating the house especially the kitchen.

[@tylerryce1802]

Keep that dish that was with those jars. The dish is a refrigerator dish from Hazel Atlas!!!

[@patches4470]

Didn't they put butter in those dishes or maybe lard.

[@lindapotter992]

My Dad used it for cheese wrapped up in cheesecloth wrung out in vinegar.

[@1806StoneHouse]

Going through that all would have been a blast!! 👍👍😍😍

[@deannamarie4149]

Looks like a decorators dream in there! Beautiful!!! Hope you put some of that on display... Hone some skills at restoration...

[@Lessthanforty]

Those metal parts in the box are for a percolator coffee pot. My dad used one for years. It’s a coffee pot that plugs in, it’s self contained all in one pot. Pretty cool. Made a gurgled sound when brewing the coffee. Love your series, it’s a beautiful old house.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!! ♥️♥️

[@jeanh9329]

I just started watching you today Laura, and I just love videos like this. I love to watch people restore homes like this. I just want to say that I just watched episode 7 and I lived your drone footage. God bless you and your family. Jean from Arizona 🌞🏜🦎🌻🐍🌵

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!!! Glad you’re enjoying!

[@Jandavis57]

The Ball canning jars are highly collectible & still useable. Also the boxes of instant coffee jars with the star on the lid. The saddle bags are also very collectible! There may be enough parts to an old stove in there as well-the part marked “Diamond” is a stove plate. And there are a lot of people who would go crazy for the old tools & parts!!! Nice vid!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!!! ♥️

[@theeringracee]

This was one of my favorites of the series!!! I wish I could hit the jackpot and have some of those treasures!! 😍

[@Pandora_369]

Canning jars can be worth a good price, depending on age. You can google search for a listing of Ball logos, and that will tell you the age of the jar. I've got some extremely old ones that I will never part with. They were used by my great grandma, then my grandma, then my mom, and now me. Precious!

[@lindapotter992]

Hey! Congratulations on your accomplishment so far. I can see what attracted you'll to this house. It is so like the house I lived in about 69 years ago in upstate NY. My Dad would plaster the latch walls and I would pick it back out until he looked to see what I was doing!! It also had like two doors in each room and built-in closets. It also had a scary attic. The barn was my favorite play place. One of the reasons that I recognize so many things at your house. I can almost smell things as you go through them. Thanks for sharing. Linda from NC.

[@janambrose4917]

Look at the craftmanship of the croquet set box. That's a keeper. Also the box with the metal parts and hammers. I'd recommend keeping the wood barrels also. The metal cans, bins are keepers too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you! You too

[@lesserpoo]

That room is a gold mine!! 🤑

[@anitatucker8812]

Looks like you have some antiques there. Be careful what you throw away because even some Mason jars are worth a lot of money. What you thought were pieces from a dairy was parts to an old coffee pot. Happy Thanksgiving

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you! Happy thanksgiving to you!

[@ceceliaraby8099]

My grandmother used that every day...thanks for the memories! 😁😍

[@cheekysaver]

the thing with a hand crank and the drawer that pulled out on the bottom is a antique coffee bean grinder. That is a really cool find. Once cleaned up it should have a good resale value.

[@willow9530]

Love the coffee grinder at 9:36 and I would have had a hard time disposing of most of that!

[@jackiesnewnormal7649]

You’re so lucky to have a man who’s interested in what you’re doing. lol My husband thinks I’m silly when I want to go through old stuff 😊

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!! I definitely feel like a lucky girl!

[@suzannemix2528]

Ooo, water pump, bright red paint outside!

[@gregorymcd944]

Hi. Just about 16 mins - that box of metal parts that you thought were dairy- those are parts to coffee pots - percolator style coffee pots. Also- the jars with the red and white star on lid - besides peanut jars could be instant coffee jars. Funny so much coffee! The grinder on the board with the draw- it’s for grinding coffee beans.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!

[@christineberry3076]

Thanks for showing it to us!

[@Pandora_369]

I'm watching this series of videos in 2020, and as you pull treasures out, I'm sitting here saying "oh wow, it's a......" and when you say maybe someone can tell me what these things are, it reminds me how old I am, because not only do I know what they are, chances are I've used them, too! LOL!!

[@cathifamjourney469]

I love the refrigerator keepers!! Memories of my grandma Benefiel!! 😀 when you find blue Mason jars look for #13 those are pricey

[@nursesheris8777]

croquet yes !! The tool box thing the box is probably worth more than the tools in it lol way cool lamp shades and coffee grinder, that hand auger is awesome, those footed pots woot woot!! People pay big bucks for those things would look nice in one of the porches with flowers in them... people used to save and can in them but that really isn’t safe, the jars with the stars on the lids are old coffee jars...wow all those wash tubs are a great find

[@kathyderouchey8221]

I just thought it was so funny that the 'kid' (since I was born in 1946) didn't recognize percolator innards. LOL I so appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Hahaha I’m sorry I’m an antique dummy! Thank you!!

[@ogoodgriefsavournin3563]

Just an FYI .... the mask doesn't work if you put it on your head! LOL!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Hahah I know! My glasses just kept Fogging up so I gave up

[@RandomPerson-kd84]

I knew that was the reason 😂

[@sherilynl4038]

yep, i knew the reason too. hahaha. happens to me. gahhhh but seriously, the amount of bacteria, mold and even possible mouse carried hantavirus are sooo great. it's such a gamble. (*my nose and sinuses just stuff up watching this. hahahaha)

[@nowhereman7398]

I hate those masks, fog up my glasses. I just tie a bandanna up tight, much better.

[@nicolethijs5428]

Amazing treasure trove! The coal shuttle, the vintage glass lampshades, the croquet game, the old desk, doorknocker and so on! Please display them once rhe house is finished!

[@shannonharvie5089]

Nicole Thijs - the coal shuttle 😍 that HAS to be home decor!

[@janetmccarron4305]

For percolator coffee pot

[@johndudley5987]

The little green baskets in the box with the cast iron lamp is what strawberries use to come in from the grocery store. Lol

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

Ohhh, the cauldrons! Oh my gosh! Now I’m super jealous.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

They are really cool!

[@Peggyanns]

This is right up my alley! Do not toss those old spoons! They might be coin silver! Also, the broken lamp might be a sweet candle stand. Really, I just wanted to jump right into my screen and rummage with you! The aluminum things are parts of old drip coffee makers. Well, not old for me, my parents used these in the 1960s.

[@joycemetheny8338]

I dont use mine , but I still have it .Looks like those folks made the switch to instant coffee...LOL

[@canoeloulou1166]

I believe the jars with star on the lids were old Folgers coffee.

[@patwilson8546]

We had an Alaskan homestead. Canning was a way of life. Mayo jars ,the rings and lids work on them. Maybe the Maxwell jars too. Otherwise can be for making with jelly with paraffin on the top, then screw back on the original lids. We would can hundreds of jars, everything from Moose, fish, veggies, etc. Was a wonderful way of life.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

It sounds like a wonderful life!

[@txJoJo55]

Wow great job, loved seeing all the cool stuff Ya'll found

[@glendabrekke5475]

love the wash tubs and hand pump, give the jars to goodwill so someone can use them if your not, called recycling, someone else's trash is someone else's treasure. love the door knocker, old crokay(?) set awesome. old grinder for flour baskets wow lotsa treasures? what will you do with it all? also like the work benches. The jars with stars are old peanut jars how fun thanks for sharing. that one box has a bunch of insides for coffee pots

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you for watching! Yes those will be recycled if not used.

[@sueerickson4849]

Lots of cool treasures that would be great to decorate the house with.

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Yes!!

[@sweettemperedsinner]

Awesome! Love seeing all the old cool stuff.

[@victoriacarpenter6889]

Those jars with the stars on the lid I believe are old instant coffee jars, and those things you thought were dairy stuff are parts to a coffee pot percolator used on a stove... circa 1930 to 1960... All that stuff you are finding is so cool...I'm glad you have an appreciation for it!

[@nicolethijs5428]

Those cauldrens would be fabulous, planted up and put on the porch. The glass things are probably drops from a chandelier. Your best video as yet! Looking forward to see all the saved items cleaned up and displayed and used!

[@jaredstrand3609]

I loved the table in the back of the room. So rustic and it’s REAL!

[@sandranokes7443]

They are the insides of old coffee pots. You put the basket on the pole looking one and set it in the coffee pot. You put the coffee in the basket and put the lid part on it. You should have water in the pot up to the basket. They you heat until it starts peculating through the top of the pot and turn the heat down low and perk till it's done. TA DA COFFEE!!!

[@beverlyburns4281]

Some great finds there!

[@Carman-wt5kf]

Previous owners loved coffee 😂 great treasures to find. Thanks Laura! Keep the videos coming! Can’t wait! ❤️

[@leannaestep3066]

Wow! That Enterprise piece is a coffee mill, I think. I think the jars with the stars on the lids are jars for instant coffee. The metal pieces you thought were dairy items are parts of coffee percolators. That old water pump is awesome. I can remember my grandparents having one in their backyard. We loved to be able to pump water from it to drink on hot summer days. What a great thing to be able to find all those "treasures".

[@cathifamjourney469]

@3:59 love the coal schuttle bucket! Awesome croquet set!! Are you planning on living there when its finished? It will be a beautiful home. Is your dad planning to restore historically or modernize? @Curiocity Incorporated is currently remodeling a early 1900s house...the potters house. You should check them out!

[@samanthaskipper1306]

Cathi FAM Journey brass or copper? Would look amazing restored. Coal buckets are used for all sorts now! Good value. Love to curiosity inc. also great people.

[@deannehuizenga4845]

Hi Laura and Jacob! I loved this post...what a sweet little gold mine! Some of my favorites where the antique lighting, croquet set, hinged hardware, the antique farm table/work bench and the old wood wine barrels. Maybe to use again in the farmhouse? So much fun to watch...thank you!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Yes!! That’s the plan

[@honeybubsakajenna]

This farm, house, barn etc are amazing!!lots of amazing treasures!

[@janicecorum4293]

There are so many treasures in there!

[@swannabe3764]

The square glass dish looks like a refrigerator dish

[@leannaestep3066]

I think the pattern is also Hazel Atlas, perhaps as old as the 1930s.

[@janambrose4917]

I thought the same, she said it wasn't marked but they were made by Fire King and Pyrex. Good thing to save.

[@tamsondarland8951]

A lot of history from that space. Wonderful treasures. 😎

[@sandytarsenko6319]

You hit the jackpot I am so glad I found your site Love watching ya all in your finds and redoing that amazing house

[@nancybockenkamp8760]

Wow awesome hunt and Fine's 🎁

[@charlottelong8154]

Need to put that door knocker back on the house ! Nice find!

[@JohnTaylorR-A-G]

The wooden box on top of the desk is a bible box. That one looks fairly old. Families kept the family bible and other important objects inside.

[@leeweyer3140]

Wow some incredible finds my favorite was the door knocker n the heavy metal objects and of course the old coffee ginder 😍😍😍

[@annieokie3789]

Love looking at all the old neet stuff you show in your videos 😁👍

[@TheVikingmaiden]

I wish I was there with you. I just love your finds!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you!

[@patriciamedlin8638]

Wow, you found some neat stuff! At least you know they did a lot of canning, most likely that's why there were so many mayonnaise jars there. I remember when I used to help my mother-in-law can tomatoes, she always kept her used mayo jars to use if she didn't have enough Mason jars. So each year when she bought rings & seals, she bought extra for the mayo jars to. I might be wrong, but I think you can only buy mayo in plastic jars now, so you might want to keep one of the jars. Loved the hand pump and the big kettle pots. Every time I loose power because of a storm, that's when I wish I had a hand pump some where, so I can just pump the water when need, instead of having to fill containers!

[@hollyreed4579]

At 16 minutes what you wondered about is parts of a coffee percolator. The first part you held was what you put the coffee grounds inside and then put the lid on top. Then that part with the coffee inside rests on top of the stem part you held. All of that stands upright inside the metal coffee percolator and a lid with a small glass top goes on. You add water of course inside the pot, place it on the stove with the lid shut and as the coffee begins to heat, it will perk and you can see it peeking through the glass top. Coffee is ready when the coffee is brown and has perked a while and is hot. It smells really good. Try it.

[@izby2652]

Love the coal bucket and all those other galvanised bins!!!

[@joycemetheny8338]

We called it a coal shuttle.

[@laurelremington2056]

I’m so glad you’re going through everything because you have a fortune with all those old items. The stuff you don’t want to keep yourselves please get reprisals on it all because they could be worth a lot. You maybe able to sell them for money to invest back into your restoration!

[@Leglag724]

That first box of glass goods is worth a small fortune. You had some good quality paper lampshades there. Pretty door knocker, those 2 cauldrons were in great shape. The star lidded bottles are Sanka instant coffee jars. Perkolater coffee pot insides in that box of metal parts. All those ball jars and other mayo and coffee jars are worth money. I Loved all the glass lamp shades too.

[@talltrucker1031]

Wow all of those cool antiques you should save, clean and once barn is restored build a room off the barn for a small antique museum? Just a weird thought lol or decorate some of the rooms in the house later👍🏻😁✌🏼

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Yes! That's the plan!

[@irishheart4768]

The jars with the star on the lid was old Maxwell house coffee jars my mom used to drink Maxwell house coffee lol enjoy all you videos.

[@esmeviljoen5362]

Amazing !!!! Today' people just throwing things in the bin. Those days were hard days that's why everything was kept

[@debbieb.8708]

The box with the things you think are for dairy is actually for the old percolator stove top coffee makers. Google them. Those are keepers!

[@theresanovak4199]

So many treasures! These were some real collectibles. Very good video. (Old- timey music while scanning historic items was nice touch.)

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Thank you! Reminded me of a player piano.

[@margaretrose8105]

Some great finds...

[@denisemariner1235]

What a great job!! I loved the jars and the pump!! Now take a few days off! Keep the boyfriend! He worked hard!😊

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Hahah he’s a keeper

[@arleenk3]

For coffee pots. Stem goes in bottom of pot and cylindrical holds coffe grounds and fits over stem.

[@jaynebrown693]

I see many people left comments telling you what things were.... I had to laugh when you found the box of COFFEE POT items and called them something else! But hey, if you didn’t grow up during that time when it was used, you wouldn’t know! Guess I’m giving my age away! LOL!!!! You kids did a great ....dirty... job! Awesome achievement getting that cleaned out! Some nice finds too! 👍👍

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Hahaha thank you!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I didn’t catch the live, but just watched the replay. That was awesome! I love digging through old stuff to find treasures. There was a lot of cool stuff in there! That’s amazing that you found a guy that likes old things like you do. I don’t think there are many young people interested anymore. I hope I’m wrong. My grown kids aren’t really interested in my piles of stuff. Maybe my great grandkids some day will be sorting through it all like this and wondering why I had sooooo many canning jars! Actually, I have a lot more than this because I can everything from my garden and orchard, just like those people probably did. Or their servants. Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

There are many people like me! It definitely takes someone with patience and an inspired mind. You have to be willing to get dirty and get rid of the bad to find the good

[@luell2u]

The Singer box was full of percolator coffee pot baskets and stems. Often you can find of coffee pots that don't have the stem and basket parts. I'll bet you could sell those or donate them to a thrift store. Wow! there were some very cool collectables and antiques in that room. And the old root cellar is very cool.

[@MarySmith-gg5gw]

Pot metal stems and baskets are the insides of coffee makers. Everything in that room antiques!Q

[@ourtime3082]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ♥️

[@lindafarner9755]

Clear rectangular dish with box of jars was for the refrigerator. Before pull out drawers they had those different sizes of dishes to use in refrigerator.The wooden boxes are worth more money than old hammers etc. you can pick up old tools at any flea market most for 1.00 a piece. Old sprayer interesting. Old croquet set might be worth a little to someone who collet old toys. Those little kettles were they cast iron or something lighter. Cast iron is the real deal that people collect. You were right to bad the cast iron light was broken but you might be able to find a lamp shade for it at a flea market or eBay. The lamp shades on those light are very fancy I think they have those prisms on them.That bag and red metal object was an old vegetables duster..I think...

[@1lookandyouaremy]

Omg soo may mason jars 😍 I would make a ton of homemade jam

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Yum!

[@shelleymccrory-martines9906]

Strawberry Jam is so easy to make. I just made 12 jelly jars about 5 days ago.

[@shannonharvie5089]

petrabracevic1406 - I want them to hold all my buttons 😍

[@l.m.4014]

Antique Buttons?

[@MrPjpmunar]

Wow! Treasure as in really treasure. Wow!

[@LifeofLauraVideos]

Yes!! It was a lot of fun!

[@marilynvillegas4698]

The water pump caught my eye ❤️
