Henry Winkler has written many books (a series) for middle grader readers. He seems to be such a fantastic human. I love seeing his fishing pictures and videos on Twitter. ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I got a good impression about him as well

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you for the history of the use of Vaseline class. 💐

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You bet!

[@janetpogue4970]

Watching has greatly enhanced by appreciation of McCoy pottery !

[@marydenny1]

I know many of us greatly appreciate the way you educate in a way that is so interesting and unique that we don’t even notice the time passing! I could listen for hours. However, if I had lost focus at any point, the phrase “royal loins” would have snapped me right back to attention!😳 That one made my day. 🤣😂🤣

[@pamelacommons7315]

We like watching Henry Winkler in the " American Christmas Carol "

[@sandrahammond5566]

Great Historical stories! Portland and Jamestown!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The ways that people who were successful impacted their communities always are fascinating to me

[@carolsuepope2837]

I love watching these videos! I appreciate that you give us the history of the piece and some of the attributes we should look for when collecting. Thank you George!😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Absolutely!! I really enjoy doing it

[@rcdoodles6214]

Thanks for sharing your expertise in history. Fascinating!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Really glad to see you here and thanks!

[@sandrathomas4100]

The mouse was awesome and the Christmas tree

[@kelleykelley549]

Thank you, George!❤❤❤

[@janetpogue4970]

I remember that Paster added to their license plate for the same reason as the medical doctors.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh yes, I guess that's true! My pastor had a motorcycle so I never saw one up close

[@janetpogue4970]

😂

[@sarahj.8372]

Wonderful wonderful things.

[@jeremylee8844]

Hello new to your channel but I just wanted to say I am amazed at the amount of information you put into each show. Bravo

[@misswildlife7905]

Winkler wrote a series of children's books also, called "Here's Hank". The Dell Warner piece was spectacular.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

He's done a lot of stuff actually! I was so glad the Dell Warner went to one of our circle of online friends

[@janetpogue4970]

Really enjoy the history of the Fenton glass, cabin is handson decoration.

[@sandrathomas4100]

WOW! Stone carving is incredible

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi George , the contrast on the Fenton has such a nice contrast between the cabin and Vaseline glass.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think so too!

[@marilynphillips124]

Wow. It was so interesting listening to you talk about Fremantle and Perth. I have lived here all my life. A place called Henderson just south of Fremantle is where boats, yatchs, etc are built now. Thank you. Love your videos. Take care ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh that's wonderful! I am always excited to hear from folks in faraway places and see how life intersects like this. I have friends who went to Perth and got me interested in Wembley Ware, I have yet to own a piece but it's on my bucket list

[@claudineboulert8860]

I think the carving is called "False Face" if I remember correctly. I have been lucky to find a few and had good succes reselling them.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They are wonderful! I appraised one a few years ago and this one sold for about the same as my appraisal then

[@persiphonehellecat]

That was the Stillman diet. Only meat - or only veggies. Lose pounds on only meat, lose inches on only veggies. Back when I was acting, it was a godsend before auditions. Of course you had to drink 80 ounces of water a day - which is really probably why you lost weight on it. But a week or two before an audition, everybody in NY would hit the Stillman Diet.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My sister and a good friend did a lot of those diets too in the time. Some worked for awhile but not always as intended

[@persiphonehellecat]

Nah they don't work, but when you want to look great in audition clothes, a couple weeks of suffering does the trick. @@TheAntiqueNomad

[@texaslady7630]

👍👍Another amazing video from the best!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh that's really kind of you to say! Thanks

[@janetpogue4970]

Might want to Share With a friend. Very interesting video .

[@flowergoddess2890]

Wow, what great and interesting information! I really enjoyed this video, thanks so much 👍🏼

[@lenaraay]

Glad to see you and your submarine!

[@pamelawolfson1423]

The Fenton ginger jar is fantastic!

[@beckyanderson4729]

Just added those Bananarama songs to my Apple Music library. Thank you!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Very good! Something came of it

[@janetpogue4970]

Really like seeing the items u listed on ebay.

[@LauraAlmond-c6w]

Please come to Texas!! I have a store in the Hill Country and you would get really good deals!! :) I so appreciate your...well, everything-energy, integrity, knowledge, encouragement!!

Good news Buster and Ellis finally found Xeno's life-size blow mold of Sanny Clause, you remember, that one that lite up and flashed on time to a soundtrack of Negro Spirituals. Well, the bad news is that they set him up on your old brown and beige De Soto. They had it all decked out along with a matching blow nativity complete with little lambs and a Perry Como cardboard stand-up, when it all went to Hell in that proverbial hand basket which just happened to have Xeno's leftovers fireworks packed in it from the last 4th of July celebrations which they used as a makeshift manger. Well, just as dusk was happening, old Bertram Roosevelt, no relation, in fact has no relations at all, snuck out of the Veterans home for a smoke. He heard them Negro Spiritals aplayin' and thought that just maybe he was missing out on his family reunion. As his lack of luck would have it, old Bertram managed to drop his freshly lit Pall Mall slap on the straw covered manger. Within seconds, it was a 3 alarm and of course, Loretta was notified. Back to the good news, Bertram was so impressed with the fireworks display he got all misty and, back to the bad news, dropped deader than Dixie right there in the parking lot. Buster and Ellis were too upset to see all their efforts to do much about the rubble, so they just covered up all them semi melted blow molds with white sheets. They erected a cross in memory of Bertram and started playing a collection of How to Sing White Christmas a Hundred and One Different Ways, which in turn and mistakenly caused half the members of the local VFW to think that they had missed a meeting of that other group of which they are members. Miss Imma Mann took it upon herself to set them straight. You just don't mess with Miss Imma.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You have it all right except (for real) I had an old brown and beige Studebaker!

[@johnwilson7799]

George do you ever come and shop through North Carolina? Several great places around this beautiful state. Next month there's 2 big antique gatherings in old farms.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I've been invited to shop and do appraisals in the Carolinas, really want to get there but just haven't been able to ...yet...

[@lenaraay]

I have a yellow submarine

[@l9tbbes]

I learned so much in this video. Very interesting and fun to watch!

[@recycledgeekco5081]

One of my favorite possessions is a Happy Days lunch box I got signed by Henry Winkler at a comic con a few years ago. Great photo.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Cool! I'm glad I could save it and that someone else will have fun with it. He apparently is a pretty decent guy

[@pollykorzekwa9469]

thx for your knowledge and entertainment!

[@GGOAT2019]

The false face stone sculptures are sold by the dozen in Canada.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I recall first seeing them there in the 1980s, this artist is no longer with us but I know similar craft is still done, I have a friend who has First Nations ancestry and does it

[@GGOAT2019]

they're not supposed to carve these for sale, the images are part of a society for their use. It's the art of commercialization and 'selling out'. These stone effigies are primarily tourist trade items now. One of the reasons for this is that the US government seized false faces, as did anthropologists and other museum people. Many of the wooden images were 'preserved' with arsenic and are toxic. Some items have been returned, many have not. But people want to own the exotic and so these are carved and sold by the dozen. @@TheAntiqueNomad

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@GGOAT2019 There has and will remain a lot of controversy over whether any natives should create anything to sell commercially that connects to cultural heritage. These people have been forced to adapt and live within the framework of a mercantile culture they did not invent, so if their response is to sell these images to survive and spread awareness of their culture in the process, I’m not comfortable judging them for that.

[@GGOAT2019]

I should know, I'm one of 'those people'. I have always found it odd that people would pay so much money for something they don't understand and which is essentially worthless, it creates a false economy and entities such as NAGPRA.@@TheAntiqueNomad

[@RosemaryHulej-ei3fz]

Feeling like Steve Martin in The Jerk...I'm somebody now👍 new subscriber here..woohoo

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! Just the fact you were watching made you someone, but now we get to meet you! I liked that movie a lot

[@RosemaryHulej-ei3fz]

@TheAntiqueNomad Thank you! You are the best 👌 I do believe we met at Freys Fine Antiques in Hemet California many years ago.

[@mw10259]

26:50 HEY I HAD ONE OF THOSE NORCREST CERAMIC MICE. SOLD IT FOR 30 BOLLARS

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You did well, they're fun!

[@AmyBC123]

I replayed the two pronunciations of Niloak several times and I couldn’t tell the difference! Not sure what that says about me and my regional accent

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think it is a regional thing! NILE-oak is the "official" local pronunciation

[@LauraMe...]

Hey George! Already some good activity on the items. ***the Bananarama picture discusses is not showing for some reason.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

eBay suddenly decided all those 1980s picture disks were bootlegs and can't be sold there anymore, so it got pulled

[@LauraMe...]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Wow! That's crazy. I typed in the search and saw a few others but all with only one member on each. Yours didn't show up no matter how I typed it in. Sorry. It must be destined to be found in a show...lol 😉

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@LauraMe... yes or at a record store that sells such things

[@agomodern]

We still want quality, but rarely get it unless they are older items. Yep, royalty are inbreeders.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, and the older items of quality available seem of less interest to others, it's a different world! In the 1970s, people were collecting 1870s-1930s because it was NOT modern and chic and completely mass produced

[@tammyreneewalker5244]

Amazing lot this month, George! Wishing you & Xeno Happy Holidays.🎅🎄

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Happy holidays!

The mouse looks like ET.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

A little! uh-oh...who stole who? I think ET owes them some money...

[@twerkinthecityhuh6340]
