To me, your life, doing what you do, seems so risky, and uncertain. That is the reason I'm so into your channel. I'm an electrician, steady job, steady money, no real drama in my work. 9 to 5 kinda stuff, but a few more hours than that. You have the confidence to believe you can make enough to take care of you and your family, off of what is mostly cast aways and leftovers. So not only do you do it, but you do it well, and in a very Canadian way ( humane, caring, etc. ). What an interesting way to make a living, and a life. I hope you keep making such interesting content, I'm a big fan.

[@patriciaanzelc5386]

Yes but Alex has so much knowledge about antiques, collectibles and cars so he knows what he is doing. I’m not worried about him I’m just in awe of him! Plus he is so funny and cute.😂

[@kjkayjay]

Well, his you tube channel brings in quite a lot of money. When asked in the past why he pays people to do an entire house clean-out instead of them paying him -- as would ordinarily be the case -- he said it gave him lots of content for his channel and it seemed only fair!! So yes he is a very caring person!

[@moladhdodhia164]

​@@patriciaanzelc5386,He is sooo NOT a Ralph Kramden,he follows through on everything he says he's going to do,I have such respect for the Father and Husband he is, don't know how he does all that he does,I watch a married couple that are Goodwill reseller's and that's how they bought their beautiful home.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

Well, as he says, he's been buying and selling antiques since he was 9 years old!

[@katwitanruna]

Cape clasp is probably a sweater clasp to allow one to wear a sweater and not put one’s hands in the sleeves.

[@NitrousDiecast]

I think that dracula used the cape clasp…

[@bonnieweeks7601]

That was immediately what came to mind. The librarian that always wore sweaters and wool skirts and pumps. Shhhh!

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

Yes, for cardigan sweaters

[@Ceelle2]

Yep

[@deniseboldea1624]

Agreed.

[@reneebekas8977]

You had me at the magazine rack/ ashtray/ moon lamp. 😍

[@needfortweed8734]

Yeah, that was the star of the show for me as well. Too bad I live far away in Norway and the shipping would be very expensive, or else I might be tempted to place a bid on that strange thing...

[@shelleypoole6415]

The moon lamp looks like it’s from the 50’s. Cool finds.

[@marionchase-kleeves8311]

Alex, your show is the treasure I've found. You are always so positive and so delightful! Also, real Navajo and Pueblo silver jewelry will ALWAYS have a full bezel around the stones. The cheap stuff uses prongs which fail. The turquoise is the precious part of the art and treated as such!

[@maryellenshock]

Look for blue touqise, green isn't worth as much.

[@kathrynlunday388]

No, the ashtray moon lamp is more likely late 50's and 60's. Mid-century was out by 70's regardless of what "dealers" say.

[@eileenbauer4601]

These are my favorite type of your videos…….searching through boxes for treasure!

[@mynameis9057]

Scott is awesome and such an incredibley talented master craftsman, musician, mechanic,body man and all around renaissance man!!! It would be great for you to bless Scott with that moon rack ashtray device, I know he really digs cool stuff like that!!! Great bunch of goodies and you're lucky you're close to Scott to appreciate his talents. I'm down in the U.S. and don't have the ability to just pop on by. I wish I could, y'all have a great country!!! Thanks again for sharing your life with us.😊

[@MoonRaven777]

You will not believe it but I watch the crazy lamplady and shecfound that weird moonlamp/ashtray/magazine holder too!!That is so weird!😂

[@bonnielucas1941]

Funny! I watch her too!

[@berthagreen1620]

Now it can be a Candy dish instead of an astray.

[@sandragrissom1821]

Sweater clip….popular in the ‘60’s. Wish I had kept mine. 😊

[@drfreud65]

Don't assume the jewelry in the baggies is brand new. My mom used to keep her costume jewelry in those, to keep it from chipping.

[@jodivandyk3649]

I do that with mine.

[@patpeters6331]

I do too. It protects the stones and keeps the metal from oxidizing. I have a lot of vintage costume jewelry.

[@ktshorty4808]

I was born in the 50's and went to school and worked in the 70's. That lamp-ashtray is more 50's!

[@evelyndunham5135]

Cardigan clasp

[@cherylross2718]

The cape clips are actually sweater clips. Often used in the 40’s and 50’s.

[@celieneohara521]

"Cape clasp" it was for sweaters.

[@sandraheassan378]

The inlaid box is from Egypt. My husband is Egyptian. We have several boxes like that.

[@barnesfamily1128]

The cardboard box to me had the best stuff. I love jewelry, jewelry boxes, zippo lighters. Not a bad trip. ❤

[@patpeters6331]

Thanks for another great video. Always enjoy your jewelry videos. Good luck with your auction.

[@defaultuser1447]

Someone decorating with mid-century modern might like that moon lamp. Got that sort of vibe.

[@sylviajones4907]

The luggage does look like the expensive ones. Good pick-up!

[@lizl6606]

I love when you get jewellery I could sort through it all day 🇨🇦🦩

[@mcwatersd]

A great looking haul. I remember those lamps from the 50's .They were all the rage back then. Love the costume jewelry. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@laurelshugars2866]

Yah. I think Alex is a couple decades shy of the lamp vintage. 70s was lava lamps. This one hollered 50s to me.

[@judes966]

I thought fifties too 👍🏻

[@jlander9940]

The telegraph appears to be a training device , possibly military or something similar. My brother was in the Canadian Army Signal Corps back in the 60s and they trained on something similar in their classes.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Wow, nice jewelry! Butterfly brooches are highly collectible no matter what they are made of and Christmas tree brooches as well are worth looking for. The leather luggage is beautiful. Thank you Alex!

[@raymondheckard234]

that Zippo lighter that looks like hand tooled leather is one of the valuable lighters for the mid century. Need to verify the date stamp code

[@The_Smith]

The placement of the hands on the Timex gave me a nice chuckle.

[@plasma453]

My dad had one of those coffee makers, he was a sales rep and on the rd all the time. It worked but took ages to boil water.

[@rustybell2722]

The clasps connected with a chain was worn back in the 50s & 60s by girls to keep their sweaters draped over their shoulders so they wouldn't slip off. I still have mine.

[@kerrykuzak4516]

Your comments are priceless, Alex!

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

Dear Mr. Archbold. 👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for another great purchase. The leather luggage will look just fine in the Ferrari. 2) I spotted some pretty old Matchbox cars in the bucket. 3) I watched CWM Scott fixing this very defective bumper. It was definitely a ton of work. I don't think that anybody else would've repaired such a piece (way too much effort). The Nissan twin turbo is a really great car. I hope that you and your son will have a lot of fun driving it. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

The coffee pot mounts to the window it looks like. Probably not meant to be used while actually driving..

[@HelpfulHoney]

I do love this channel. A variety of subject matter and you just find THE COOLEST stuff!!!!

[@justsayin1958]

I see your still holding your phone and trying to sort with one hand. LOL! somethings never change. Nice sort!

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

Taking a drink!

[@biancanagy3342]

That owl , should have a name. And it can fetch a good penny.

[@user-yw4bx4nk9e]

The Ertl company was just an hour from me. Several years ago they moved the company to Mexico. They then made, Scale Model cars/machinery, at the factory in Dyersville. There is still an Ertl/Scale Model store in the town of Dyersville

[@edithwarria4794]

Hello Alex good to see you again 👍🦋🌺🌈💖❤️🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@LavishHim]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👍🏻 wishing you a great fall sale!

[@cathpeterson1944]

I luv the old crescent moon lamp 🤩

[@barbaralavoie1045]

A very interesting coffee maker/ mug for the camper van. When I went to Niagara Falls several years ago,there were Indian shops around, so perhaps that lighter was purchased in an Indian shop in that area.❤️

[@yukokaystevenson4438]

The lamp is fabulous! My favorite piece 😊

[@OriginalNethead]

Portable Morse key - maybe railroad or other on-site emergency tool, from back when. When the new VW bugs came out they had flower vases on the dashboard, just because they could. People put weird things in their cars, often made "just to see if we can do that." 14:09 Sweater guard originally, from when women wore cardigans draped over their shoulders. Make a heckuva mask holder now.

[@clark9992]

I think you might be in the right ballpark anyway. I'm guessing that they were issued to telegraph linemen, so they could contact their supervisors, or the local offices. I'm no expert though.

[@rustyramblings5807]

That design on the 300ZX was ranked in the top 10 car designs in a article I read in one of the car magazines.I agree.And they are a great driving car.

[@billlindsley1642]

I live about 40 miles from the Zippo factory in Bradford Pa,, somewhat of a collector myself and never knew they once made them in Canada until tonight.

[@Papae93]

Caterpillar pin is 25 year service award. the stone is a diamond chip.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Alex and family 🙋🏽 I hope you had a good day ‼️

[@mlove.1376]

Bradford Pennsylvania is where the Zippo lighters were made. Beautiful country. My friends Grandmother lived there all her life and she lived to be a few days shy of 101. Bradford is about 2 hours from Niagra Falls.

[@toniasalways]

The instructions for the coffee pot are right in front of you, Alex!

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

The smoke in the region is just nuts today! Glad to see you out, Alex!

[@thekenneth3486]

Alex, I have an identical car coffee pot (also never used!). Yours is missing its mounting bracket, a flat strip of metal bent into an L-shape that can be attached somewhere or bent again to fit over the car window sill. (Mine's painted bright orange, so if you find an inexplicable orange bracket thingy among your acquisitions, that'll be what it's for.) I doubt it's worth the couple dollars or so I paid for it 35 years ago at a clearance shop.

[@lesliejackson7133]

Hope you & your family are all well. We enjoy your content so much. I'm guessing some days are better than others. Sending good vibes😊

[@jhn146]

Moon lamp/ashtray/magazine rack definitely 50s and early 60s at most.

[@TheKatherine1958]

The ashtray/lamp/magazine rack is really “funky”. Lol. I love it! But I graduated HS in ‘76. 😊

[@loridietrich2369]

It looks like the coffie maker clips on to the window of the car like the speakers at the drive-in movies.

[@Motorsportqueen]

What a great Haul Alex thaks for sharing

[@barbaralavoie1045]

A very pretty red car. The ship lamp is really neat. Clean is better, for this different kind of lamp .

[@clark9992]

I was browsing through a Reddit subreddit that is for getting help to identify mystery objects. Someone posted a photo of their ceiling in one room of a 70s vintage house, and wanted to know what the heck it was. No one knew for sure. It looked identical to the stuff that moon is made of.

[@lauraleighdee-zines4632]

Okay that lamp/ashtray/magazine rack is wild! And Im surprised my parents never owned one back in the day! lolol! But they did have the car coffee percolator!

[@carolynsimone8647]

Enjoyed watching over your shoulder...good little find...🥰

[@billytuter1148]

Maybe that thing with the lighter would be for a pocket watch like you said but would be for sliding your belt through.

[@vickimaddox8711]

I believe the costume jewelry will net a profit. Another good haul

[@judierickson7166]

That moon lamp et al is the most horrendous/coolest thing ie ever seen!

[@trevorlyle6381]

We had that coffee pot for camping in the 1970

[@myragroenewegen5426]

I've seen those jewelry pieces with chain connecting two clips of broches used ornamental pieces on both sides of the collar of a button down, somewhat like a nacklace of tie. My mother knows them as "sweater clips" for holding both side of a women' s small cardigan sweater in place of buttons or alongside them. Cape clip makes even more sense, given that capes often have think fabrics that don't wear too much from the use of the fasteners. These have been having a moment as clips for button down collars among vintage hipsters, but I wish they'd go more mainstream. They seem like a useful way to make garments functional quickly if you want them to have a button to fit them closer around the upper body and they don't.

[@GolyenHighway]

I have wider hips & a narrow waist. I have been using clips like that to tighten the waist of longer shirts that I leave over the pants. Also a few dresses that are a bit too loose in the waist, but fitting in the hips. I believe the ones I had were called vest clips, because they were designed to cinch the back of a vest so it was slimmer under a jacket.

[@thecrone7964]

I owned a 1990 300ZX twin turbo - (bought it right off the showroom floor)- mine was black - DO NOT try driving it if there is ANY - snow or ice - it's strictly a fine weather car. Other than that it is/was a nice car. Have fun!

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

My brother was the youngest at nine years old to use the Morse Code in Maine in 1954. I remember his call letters: W1 IBY

[@marybeth17]

Hi Alex, kudos to another great job of trusting your gut by buying costume jewelry & coming up with silver, gold and diamond jewelry. Looks like you have at least tripled your investment. God bless and take care. Hope you, Melissa & the kids have a wonderful weekend.🙏💗

[@keeplookingup1164]

OMG the ashtray combo😮😮. You ok Alex? You seem tired to me. Been watching you since Bambi. That car at the beginning 😮😮😮 Steven will remember that car forever! It’s ok to take a break!

[@user-s6_3-]

I recognize a lot of that jewlary like the rings with stretchy bands is paparazzi

[@markwalford-groom]

WOW the car log book at the beginning from 1938 ,,,,,,,in about 1970 -1974 our lollypop man /school crossing guard was named Fred Wooley ...and he was quite old have no idea of his heritage maybe it was his car

[@patrickprior4393]

Awesome again 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@davidflamee]

Nice little haul right there. Thanks for passing along your expertise.

[@cecoya]

That was a great haul to say the least. I know that with all the jewelry you made your money back and then some. I admit I would have liked to see a bit more of the costume stuff but good finds. Happy digging and have a great day

[@AnthonyNieves-xp8jr]

That morse code gadget goes back to I believe the western time.

[@SharonJones-ql8oy]

Those Zippo lighters are worth $80 to $270

[@SHERRY0010]

You really need to do your own website Alex . You’ll make a better profit that way . That silver charm bracelet , I have the exact same one . I never put charms on it . I always thought it was too pretty to do that . It can speak for itself without any further adornments. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift when I was much younger . I saw it in the window of a jewelry store and fell in love with it ❤❤❤

[@Anagrams458]

I have one as well. Recieved as a gift from a long-ago boyfriend. Ditched the charms he bought for it long ago and kept the pretty bracelet.

[@NoNoNadiaMoore]

Don't insult the 70's Alex! 🤣 That lamp of ugliness is STRAIGHT out of the 50's... 😉

[@susprime7018]

Love the jewelry hunt.😊

[@Vault57]

I don't think that 6:15 is 1970s vintage. I think it goes back to post-war, 1947-ish to 1960. I just don't remember seeing anything like that being 'new' in the 70s. I found several other examples online.

[@happydays59]

Yes more 50's

[@NitrousDiecast]

Some neat items! I would like to go through that hot wheels bucket for a closer look…lol.

[@marionchase-kleeves8311]

It is Nickle 18:31 plate with epoxy, turquoise dust "gem"

[@marlenejordan9442]

Holy cow, the oil can for the Easy Washer ! My mom worked for Easy Washer (Syracuse NY) back in the day ! Can't believe I'm saying this again ! Another friend was selling an actual vintage Easy Washer at the Bouckville NY antique show just a few weeks ago !! Cheers from Central NYS !!

[@vickipoore3595]

Good score!

[@thesam19841]

If you ever find the 80s Olds Cutlass 442 salon in avocado green, it is a canadian only rare color and worth about 20x what the yellow one one is... I have one, but its in very rough shape, Ive always rembered that little nugget of info

[@haydendelena]

Old jewery,coins, toys mmm Alex love it here

[@icehousehockey]

The red/blue charm on the bracelet is 1978 Commonwealth Games rather than a Centennial piece. Very cool!

[@cherylgieseke4415]
