Generational Vintage Shift-New Collectors, New Antiques!

Vintage shopping has changed a lot since I first saw Traditions Antique Mall in Wildwood, Florida 15 years ago! A new generation of collectors seeks out vibrant MCM glass, vintage kitchenware and their plastic toys from their childhoods, while their parents (and kids) seem more enthralled by solid wood furniture, Waterford crystal and fancy antique porcelain ware.
With so many choices, it's more important than ever to learn how to tell contemporary and recently made collectibles from the originals that inspired them! So we comb this mall deeply in this video, showing how to tell new stained glass lamps from old, Victorian ruby flash from 1980s cranberry glass and new cast iron from originals. We enjoy a really well displayed 1940s kitchenware space, introduce another amazing American designer we haven't seen before, and shop this place hard to find deals we can share with our own collector customers!
Two floors and an outbuilding full of furniture make this a fun place to browse and learn, and we enjoy everything from 1950s fishing lures and a well-priced Cambridge seagull flower frog to a Rosenthal-Netter vase, a Rosenthal porcelain figure (different Rosenthal!), vintage Disney figures, American oak and mahogany corner cabinets and both antique and vintage mah-jongg sets. There's nothing like getting to see this kind of variety in person to help us learn more for our future antiquing adventures!

Out of all the you tubers that do vintage/antique you teach us the most, you know your stuff❤️ thanks

Thank you! I try hard to show a lot of variety and tell what I think might be helpful

He is so generous!! 😊

[@LannieLord]

HE IS THE MOST HONEST ! So many of these other people TRY to convince that the low end stuff they find is worth $$$$$. And the fact is- it's the kind of stuff that will SIT in an eBay store for 4 years with the final gavel of someone offering you $10.00 with free shipping?

[@bmohin]

agreed! i don’t care for the others. George has a great voice for this. And a sense of humor.

[@juliademmin99]

Well, George, you've done it again. My head is stuffed full of even more vintage knowledge! You are a wonderful educator and you're so very generous with your time! Thank you and here's to much success with your upcoming show! 😊🎉😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much!

A walking encyclopedia!! I've learned alot over the years, but one thing I know is, the more you know, the more you know you don't know...

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's a fact, I learn new stuff all the time! It keeps me interested in all this

[@janetpogue4970]

Heljoh, absolutely, George not only has command of specific knowledge about all things vintage/ antiques but also a real understanding of socioeconomic history! And sociopolitical.

[@janetpogue4970]

Plus he graciously shares with other dealers and viewers!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I can't think of a nicer compliment! I try to bring that to the objects we love and remember

[@janetpogue4970]

And you do, George

The K is silent in Knock , it sounds more like nock when pronounced. We used to go there on our school trips as a child and they still do. The believe is that “ the Virgin Mary “ appeared there .

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

Our Lady of Knock is the statue. Apparition

You are such a patient teacher....

[@janetpogue4970]

The young woman, you spoke of, is likely not a fan of all the rooms painted grey either ! I agreebwith her! 😅 😂

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like grey as a neutral but it needs color to not seem dull

[@LuposSobreVega]

31:48 The massive Blenko "Optic Pitcher" by Winslow Anderson is in "Teal." The "Peacock" color was only used in '65 and '66.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you, I used to know the colors better. I really need to review the books again

[@kathleencallaghan4867]

You and Dr.Lori are the most informative KZbinrs.

[@lionheart830]

But she put George down in one video so I stopped watching her. Her ego is too big.

[@sarahhardy8649]

Interesting hearing what you say about the economy George. I’m minded to think of my mother who told me that during her war, clothing was rationed, so fashion kind of created garments with minimal fabric and notions usage. It really stuns me how the war just was reflected in so many different ways. I picked up some vintage cookery books, marked “book production war economy standard”. Strangest recipes ever - roasted cucumber anyone?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It sure is true! Even books were printed on thinner and less quality paper during the war

[@gabbott944]

This store is amazing ❤

Thanks for featuring my beloved Rio Hondo critters ... I have bn collecting them for many years ... I love everyone of them ... And theres some ugly ones ... I just had one gifted to me yesterday ... Thanks made me happy

There's a cool shop outside Minneapolis (or was) that had hundreds of TV lamps. Had never seen so many ! 💡

[@flyingcat2054]

If the goods will actually sell for those prices! In my mall customers are BIG cheapskates. I know that’s not the case with everyone else here, but I’ve been a dealer for 3.5 years and I am an eye witness!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm fortunate in that I sell in tourist destinations where people are not thinking about their bills and other responsibilities and have "mad money" to spend. I used to sell in a locally-oriented mall and it was very much price conscious

Thanks for showing up some mislabeled and fake items. It helps in the process of learning. Take care my friend! ❤❤❤😊

It was a display piece, I didn't focus on it for that reason but wish I had! I like to show mislabeling and fakes so people don't mis-learn things

[@OriginalNethead]

Knock, Ireland? I've always pronounced it like knocking on a door. Or nocking an arrow. Vintage rolling pins - my mom sold my grandma's glass pin with the wood handles in a yard sale. Sold it for more than you'd get now though. I told her to price it high, but alas not high enough that somebody didn't buy it. (sigh) I'm with that younger buyer about the neutral/gray stuff being everywhere. I went to buy a lousy bath rug and they were all black, white or gray. Maybe navy if you were lucky. And that's just bath mats. I HATE gray. Maximalism is starting to be hip; some people really like color, and vintage = recycling so it's in too.
