[@TacoStacks]

Yassss 8,000 subs!!!

[@PascalMarieFinland]

8k, A little bit because of you also! I am following your channel for a long time and as you keep talking about her, even meet her sometimes...I was interested in her channel. Not bad at all, she takes time to go through things and present them at the end of the video...I like this format so I subscribed to her channel too 😉 best regards from Finland, Pascal

[@stephaniegagnon2583]

Hello Taco, I also found Paper and Moose through you. Thanks Man 😃

[@jacquelinehealy1797]

Congratulations on 8000 subscribers Renee. I loved the books about the steel industry. Thank you for braving the heat, you brought some fun to me.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

Yes she is moving on up with her subs. I love her channel. I probably would not have found her except for you, Taco Stacks !!! THANKS!

[@wormod]

And running towards the 100k.

[@carolynsimone8647]

Thanks for taking me with you...some good finds..🥰🥰

[@rutroh9647]

You got your summer haircut just in time for the hot weather. Love the hooks, most excellent score. Lead lady...my favorite line...."...she is hot AND heavy". Your stone house makes for a great backdrop. Thanks for the video.

[@lisafarr2317]

Fab vid. The pictures of the factory workers were great. The old lady would make a fab bonnet ornament. A perfect gift 4 a special nan.😊

[@TextilesandTreasures]

The History of the Snowman! ⛄️ I picked that book up at Goodwill earlier this year and look forward to reading it in winter. I love learning random facts like that. I would have gotten that paper airplane book too... I got a couple of books on making airplanes and kites at an estate sale this past weekend. I love learning random skills. I completely agree with you about focusing on the stuff that brings you joy to research and sell. You're recognizing the value of these items and getting them into the hands of people who truly appreciate them!

[@PaperandMoose]

The Snowman book should be an easy, entertaining read. Sometimes you need books like that!

[@stephaniegagnon2583]

Ohh those books! I just love to see old pictures of times passed.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

With those hook's I would screw them into an old piece of wood and unevenly tie rope on them with vases and place flower's in the vase. Would make a great wall piece a pretty one.

[@ellengallerani9836]

Love what you do, and absolutely Love your stone house and porch! Keep up the great work!

[@amorettewarren9088]

I found Paper and Moose because of you Taco. You mentioned her channel. Congratulations Rene on getting 8,000 subscribers!

Love Paper and Moose channel and Taco Stacks!! 🌮🌮

[@CaptainAmerica-nl4tq]

Congrats on your subs Renee 👍 Renee it was there bigger than life ! The truck had a free sign on it ! Imagine you going down the road with it filled with treasures !

[@PaperandMoose]

When I saw the sign on the van, I was tempted to ring the door bell and ask where the keys were located haha. I don't think I'd get that lucky in life to find a free van!

[@CaptainAmerica-nl4tq]

@@PaperandMoose Lol ..... I would. have had to go and had a little fun with the owner myself ..... but in today's world It can be a bit risky ... Your videos are great ...... and educational too 👍 keep up the good work Renee 😌👍

[@lisabruce1732]

Congrats on 8,000 subs! The steel mill books are great. My Dad and all my uncles worked for J&L steel. My grandparents lived in West Aliquippa, right up against the tin mill. What a dirty little town. Black soot (and God knows what else) covered everything. As awful as it was, those jobs supported many families here.

[@nanharrison2997]

Some nice free finds.🧡

[@summerrain2362]

You inspire me🌻🌎🍄 i picked up free magazines & books at our local library😄🎶🎵🎶they were out front with a Free sign!!

[@KathrynMorse]

Love the books you picked up! I love photos in magazines, publications - I always want to cut all the good ones out and frame them.

[@LovelyRita56]

Ya! 8,000+ subscribers 🎉 Congratulations! Love watching your videos. 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you, glad you enjoy the videos!

[@holly5791]

Just a note about the books, subject matter aside, people use them for staging, home decor and junk journals. They go to Dollar Tree and pay $1.00 a book, just for that. So, people want books these days...doesn’t matter the subject. I know, if I buy a book, subject matter is everything to me. If you ever run across old Reader’s Digest Condensed books, they are wildly popular! I do like the books you grabbed. They have history for sure. 😊👍🏻

[@TNgrandee3]

Ha Ha. Hood ornament!!! I love it. Would be perfect for an old lady like me with an old car to put it on. I so enjoy your videos.

[@PaperandMoose]

Maybe I can start a new trend of hood ornaments! Still have research to do to try and figure the lady out!

[@cathifamjourney469]

@@PaperandMoose please let us know if you figure it out!

[@ThriftyAV]

I would grab the Astronomy book to keep for myself! The tortilla press is neat.

[@LindaFoyle]

Thank You Paper and Moose, enjoyed your video!

Thank you Paul!

[@lmp8932]

9000+ now September 3rd. The 'factory' books look really interesting. I'd have picked up the paper plane book too, just for fun :)

[@maggiecousineau1877]

The coat hooks could be used as a shoe hook rack, they keep them off the floor near the doorways. Very cute and easy to make, all you need is a nice board.

[@cathifamjourney469]

Great idea!

[@asterix7842]

There's also Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, an outdoor music venue, and the city of Bethlehem holds Musikfest, a 10 day music festival every August.

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Loved seeing the steel mill booklet.

[@wildscotsman1]

8000 and rising, well done Renee xx

[@RnR-Rebel]

Hiya Renee, love trash picking day so much fun- a treasure hunt! Ok I really think you should make “hot & heavy” (🤣) old lady a hood ornament, how fun would that be? Silly, but fun! Great finds, love the tortilla maker & those old booklets! I think I have that ham cookbook! I used to sell old books (still do if I find something of interest I don’t want), went by my whits never scanned. Positively despise the “scanners” they’re awful people who claim an entire table at a library book sale as theirs. Um no, you haven’t paid for those books, I’ll bloody well choose what I want & knock you over just as you’ve stepped on & knocked over teensy me! Not to mention they don’t live in our county & pay taxes for our libraries- I wish libraries would have a pre-sale for residents only. Hmm might suggest it! Have a lovely day! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️

[@PaperandMoose]

My local library does hold a pre-sale for the cost of $15 or $20, I believe. Of course, that money goes to the library which is nice. You pay for early access to the books, a day before the sale “officially” opens. Who wants the books with the barcodes anyway... older books published long before barcodes are the way to go!

[@RnR-Rebel]

Paper and Moose - That’s wonderful! Ours used to do that, a small admission price + a non-perishable food item for our local food patch. I loved that as I’m always happy to support libraries & food pantries. They would make you show your library card to prove you were a county resident as well which made you feel special! Yup, much rather have the books w/ out the bar codes! These scanner people don’t care, try to claim all of a giant table, then wind up putting back most of them. They’re just rude! Here’s to lovely old books! Cheers! J. XXX😘🧡

[@jeramymcguire9930]

An absolute joy!!! As always girl!! Ty

[@rickeydonald4756]

8,000 subs, Renee you are just amazing!

[@sassygirl5271]

Love your enthusiasm

[@barbfrank917]

Yes, she makes me smile

[@lovemyferals]

The old lady is my favorite find of yours and the steel industry items were so interesting. A bygone era for sure. That first aid book with the color plates was also interesting. People frame those! (I think the burnt toast is meant to provide charcoal to soak up the poison. I know they give poisoned animals charcoal when you take them to the vet.) Thanks for sharing!💕

[@nacypollock7546]

There are websites that buy used textbooks. They will even send you a shipping label. You just put in the number on the back, and it tells you how much it will give you!

[@bcoolfool1014]

8k Subs. Whoop whoop! So well deserved and so many more to come Xx

[@missysanders83]

Interesting finds today. Congrats on all your new subscribers.

[@dr.trixiecp5651]

Great score on the tortilla press! 👍🏻

[@lisagrafton2529]

Before you sell the tortilla press, look up a recipe and try it. They're really pretty easy to make and usually take ingredients from your pantry, flour, salt, a fat (I think Crisco like), and water.

[@nascarmommam5915]

Fun pickings for sure. Ya just never know what can be found! 👍🏻👍🏻 ~ Texas

[@bethmerryfield7186]

The lady may be wearing a nurses cape

[@mariechrisman3957]

Omg,my grandpa worked in the steel mill in Pittsburgh, maybe his pic is in that book,so cool

[@julesiou12]

I love the historic booklets you picked up. I'd love to hear what the poems are like. Are they any good? I really love the tortilla pan. Cool piece for the kitchen. Thanks for sharing x

[@lilolmecj]

I used coat hooks on my kitchen wall for coffee cups. Also they are relatively expensive at Target or Home Depot, so either the flea market, or maybe gift them to someone.

[@jeffmame605]

I think instead of "garbage picking" you should say "Trash shopping" you find the best stuff.

[@shirleybowland8926]

Always love your videos , great finds , congratulations on 8000 subs . Love from Australia 😊🇦🇺

[@Eveningsong]

Checked out the metal lady statuette and it looks like it may be a door stopper that had a base to put in front of a door to hold it open:) Congrats on 8K!

[@suesalley1487]

Do you know if it is pewter? It looked like it on film.

[@Beth.Colvin]

The burnt toast might be for the carbon/charcoal to "filter out" the poison.

[@cathifamjourney469]

Those booklets are awesome! I would've had to picked those up as well. They look so interesting, I love stuff like that. The coat hooks you could make a couple bucks with at the flea market, surely more than scrapping them? Oh, and the music you use is nice, its perfect for your channel!

[@shoshonnaissachar5927]

Funny...that Red Cross book was the first part of our P.E. class in my senior year of high school. I guess just in case you got hurt in the last half! haha

[@PaperandMoose]

That's funny! Guess they wanted all the students to be prepared!

[@rebeccanichols1165]

Even us old ladies can be hot and heavy, lol it just sometimes takes a little longer. I am so glad you picked up the snowman book. I love and collect snowmen. Never knew such a book existed. Great finds, love the taco press. You could sell the hooks at the rummage sale. Have a great day. Congratulations on the 8000. Do you still have your store?

[@PaperandMoose]

Hahah, love your comment about the lady! I'm slowly figuring out an Etsy store. Hoping that over the upcoming holiday I get everything settled and can have it go live. Again, this regular day job gets in the way of the fun stuff!

Boy Rene, I could write a book on factory work! I tell all young people to get an education so you don't have to do this. 3 1/2 more years til retirement. Hope they don't kill me first!

The tortilla press is great, at least in western US

[@sharonnowlin2297]

I LOVE it when you are looking through books, and throw them back when there are NO pictures! Love your heavy "Hot" lady. Would be nice to know what she was for!

[@PaperandMoose]

It depends... if the books would have been older, even with no pictures, I probably would have taken them. I have no use for newer textbooks or other books, so that’s why I put them back.

[@cherylross2718]

Congratulations on your 8k, the 10k will come quickly. Tfs ❤

[@larryboysen5911]

I see tons of those kind of books here in G.W. and Sal. Army...out dated textbooks. Those factory chronicles are great, love that kind of literature! Looks like Taco's van in the backround. Being snowmen are my favorite Christmas character...that Snowman history is neat. These hooks, if old, are made of solid brass or sometimes bronze...the new stuff I usually cheap plated white metal. Don't scrap them...try the flea market route. That metal senior citizen lady could be part of a lamp. Years ago saw a similar figure [an old man] as part of a leaded glass shade lamp. Those Red Cross First Aid books have been since the 1920's. They just update them now and then. Have two 1940's publications by USS Steel, similar to yours. I could not take that hot humid climate...spoiled here...it's cold and foggy, nice and cool...great especially at night!

[@PaperandMoose]

I'm ready for some cooler weather - at this stage of August, I'm done with summer and ready for fall to be here!

[@larryboysen5911]

Was stationed in Texas for a spell...when I came home, I felt like kissing the SFO Tarmac when I deplaned...the delicious cool fog!!

[@deadhorse1391]

8,000 subscribers! You are really taking off now So was all this stuff that people put out for the garbage man to pick up? The table set up looked like it was more like Free Stuff put out for people to take I see that occasionally around here ( Delaware & Maryland) but never anything I want normally I think it’s obvious that the woman is the figure from the top of a bag lady trash picking trophy 😉😃

[@PaperandMoose]

The house with the Free sign has it put out for free the day before the garbage men come. My guess is whatever people do not take, they just pile it up for the trash anyway. Everything else I picked up, like the books, were set out for the trash.

[@carolynkobylka5620]

Renee, I used that First Aid book in my senior year in High School in 1972, we took Drivers Ed /First Aid.

[@abbiestreasures1953]

Great finds! I love the lady and the mystery to what she really might be. I wouldn't use too many First Aid tips out of that book...I had a similar one from early 70's...and then when I took a refresher course for a job in 2004 we were taught 'new ' ways and were told a lot of the things we learned back in the day were no longer recommended...🤔🙄 Congrats on 8000! Woot woot!! And 'Thanks' to Taco Stacks for recommending PAM's channel!🙋‍♀️

[@PaperandMoose]

The older first aid/health/exercise books are always fun to read just for the practices that were considered the correct methods back then. Of course, some of the old remedies still work, but as you said, I won't be rushing to that first aid book in the case of an emergency!

[@BREN70S]

You should have driven away the taco stacks van in the thumbnail , it was marked free 😊😊

[@PaperandMoose]

Thanks for watching Laura! Funny how the First Aid book has brought back many memories for many viewers... that must have been the standard book for high school health classes during that time. Taco Stacks has great trash picking videos, I’m always jealous by some of the amazing things he finds!

[@thefamousdoc8705]

Renee, those books would sell on eBay too... not just Amazon. If you sell on eBay those texts were hundreds of dollars for you. 🙁

[@thefamousdoc8705]

Haha. Saw what you said later in the video. You are wise to do what works for you. For me, they take only a second to find and price and they would pay for more ephemera (including the posters I love). Congrats on 8000!!!

[@PaperandMoose]

I do sell on eBay, but my heart just isn't in the scanning barcodes business. I realize that there is money to be made in that and that I left money on the curb, which you are completely correct that this extra money could go towards buying more ephemera. I would just rather spend my evenings researching the ephemera that I have and that I enjoy researching versus listing newer books. Some people think that's crazy and free money is free money, but as they say in life "You have to do what makes you happy." I did look up one of the books in the box and it sold on eBay for about $4.00 with free shipping... Glad I passed :0) Now if those books would have been older, I would have grabbed them all for sure!

[@hfsaid]

Not a word yet about the heavy lady. Please do some research & let us know. She looks a bit like a pilgrim or amish.

[@PaperandMoose]

I thought the same as you did, but the purse threw me off. She also reminded me of an old man and old woman statues/art print that were common during the 80s... I think they were feeding geese.

[@PaperandMoose]

The tortilla maker is cast iron. I did some research and could only find one that was previously listed on Worthpoint as "vintage". I do not have a Worthpoint subscription though, so no idea what it sold for.
