Goodwill Depression Glass Haul!

[@RoseCottageColleen]

I absolutely love that the painting is directly on the cardboard. It perfectly reflects what times were like back then and is a testiment to making do, which was what most had to do during those times. To take an ugly piece of cardboard and turn it into something so lovely is such a talent. Our desire for the beautiful is never limited by something as mundane as poverty. Wonderful find!

[@mamiebobb4173]

If you go back to that thrift shop for the scotty dog ashtray - PLEASE see if the little salt shaker dog in the beret is still there! He has a fan club here. Your little decorator plate had the Inn's sign cut off. I think it said "Four Ways Inn - No Way Out"

[@christinebarone7496]

I don't think I've seen the PINK depression glass before. It's simply lovely. Nice score Scott. That is quite an impressive haul.

The McCoy vase is to die for. As for the coffee pot , if you could find coffee in bags . Like tea bags except larger, l know restaurants have coffee bags. Or maybe cheese cloth or something like that. So many lovely things from the past. Thank you for the show. 😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄

Good going, Scott!! You are a great shopper😀

[@curtischildress9580]

The beautiful watercolor on cardboard in the original frame is absolutely grand. I so much enjoy looking at artworks as a pass time. At the university back in the early 80s I was such an aloof dreamer and on several early Sunday mornings I would ride my bike into the city and play out my imaginary version of Breakfast At Tiffany's. I'd have on a sport coat w/slacks and shirt undone a few buttons w/loose tie hanging around my neck and shiny slippers. I brown bagged a Danish or donut and my own large plastic cup of Swiss Mocha coffee. I parked my bike then walked the sidewalks touring shop and art/antique gallery windows while slowly munching my breakfast. Streets and sidewalks were basically empty. I just wandered and daydreamed for an hour or so. I was truly alone on my own for the first time. The 2 years prior were spent at a private southern Christian college where I studied religion for my ordination. I had many friends there like a family. I combined Christianity and Judaism and my inclusion of Judaism caused me to be rejected from ordination. At that time I switched to Psychology and English but went on to become a clerk in a private accounting house and retired nearly 3 years ago working as an investor. But art appreciation and even doing some art is a meaningful part of my life. ...Very nice video, Scott. I'm playing catch up on the videos I missed while away. Your channel is by far my favorite and I look forward to your wonderful posts. ...Blessings be on you and yours and everyone.

That green spiral depression glass was Hocking as well as made by Imperial called ‘twisted optic’. There is something about maybe clockwise-counter clockwise in identification. I am rusty with details. I’ll trust you’ll make the case. What a Saturday bonanza. I bet you’ll be there waiting for the doors to open next time. I cut my teeth on Antique bottles and depression glass. They called it junk. I called it affordable at 25 and 50 cents a piece. I was 16 with a very limited budget. I also found salt & peppers for a nickel and a dime. Just call me cheap. Great haul!

Watercolor is so lovely. Looking at it again here and sorry to disagree, but I would say it's painted on artboard, paper glued to board, not just any old cardboard, because cardboard would dissolve with water. Those gorgeous colors wouldn't be possible. I would bet the NY & Co on the back is art supply shop. Artboard comes in large sheets that is cut to suit project.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Hi Carol. As amazing as it might seem, it really is painted on the cardboard. I examined it very closely when I took it apart for cleaning and there is nothing attached or glued to the old cardboard box. Remember, this a quality 90 year old cardboard box which is nothing at all like today's cardboard products.

@@oldcuriosityshop265 Lol, I guess we actually agree, that's no ordinary cardboard, and the artist made it extraordinary! Shame there's no sig.

@@carolrunion6200 Yes, I don't think the same results would be achieved if modern (course pulp) cheap modern cardboard was painted upon. The old cardboard has a shiny, slick almost oaktag like surface that I only see on boxes made before the war. The surface doesn't seem to be as course or absorbent as modern cardboard.

PLEASE take the painting off the window ledge - the sun (especially reflecting on the glass) can damage the painting!! The 2 pink bowls are Fostoria American - they’re similar to Jeanette Cube/Cubist, but it’s thicker and heavier - more substantial. I had a gathered a set of pink Cubist, and added in the Fostoria American because it works well together. The 1980s pieces didn’t include this shape as far as I remember, and the 1980s pieces were kind of clunky.
