Heirloom Treasure Revealed! Antique & Vintage Appraisal Fair

People are dusting off their favorite heirlooms, packing boxes with old family collections, taking down portraits and loading the car with antiques and vintage for the rest of us to see in this video! We take a look at one-of-a-kind items and family favorites at the Jewel Antique Mall appraisal fair in Belleair Bluffs, Florida, looking for clues that reveal the stories behind these relics and sharing them with both you and their owners.
What's the story of the woman in the portrait dad saved? Are mom's favorite pearls worth more than she paid on that cruise ship? How do we reunite a unique winner's circle flag with the wealthy new owner of the winning car from a 1971 NASCAR race? People bring so many interesting antique and vintage items, seeking knowledge and understanding that is my great pleasure to share with us all.
From 1950s kiddie records and 1970s pewter to a true antique Amphora owl and a 19th century platter in a rich mulberry color, the things people have kept aside are seeing the light of day for the first time in years! Stylish modern lamps, a 14k gold ring and many more surprises await as we spend a fun day helping people learn more about their favorites, and inspiring us to learn more about our own!
(To that end, we are having more appraisal fairs in Washington and Northern Idaho this month, check the community tab on my KZbin channel homepage for info and come see us!)

I need to make a correction! I had the chronology of the King James Bible's revision wrong and made a mis-statement about the motivation being about the Cromwell Revolution, which happened in a different order. Please refer to a comment below made by vinyl1earthlink below for clarification, and thank you for the input by he and Tim Hazeltine to make sure we're presenting correct information here! Thanks

[@janetpogue4970]

No worries, I read the info below, wow it was a tangle of royalty and countries 😂

King James (VI of Scotland and I of England) was the King who followed Elizabeth I. Before the beheading of his son and successor Charles I and the following interregnum Commonwealth. Just thought I’d say.

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you so much George. As you spoke of the two column Bible, I was thinking what a scholar you are ! I am so appreciative of your interest in doing youtube videos because you have made yourself avaliable to us!! My sisters are fascinated, as am I, with the appraisals. I have been thanked repeatedly, by the 4 of them, for introducing you into their world.

Thanks George! Great appraisal show

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Hey, George. I'm back watching from the go. That Amphora clock was really pretty. I'd have it in the clock shop, if it was mine. That decorative battle axe was interesting. I liked it. I have a large antique Holy Bible here, and it has the Apocrypha in it. I can't remember the date in it, but it was never written in the pages for that. Those Mikimoto pearls were nice. Pearls and cameos, to me, are timeless class. I'm back to where I came in late. These appraisals are always fun and incredibly interesting. I can't understand why Barrett-Jackson wouldn't want to contact the person that bought the Corvette, so they could be given the chance at that flag. They could, at least, contact the byer, themselves, and ask if they would like the flag. That comes across as just being obstinate. Great items! Thanks for showing and giving the information on them!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad you got to see this! It was really fun seeing why you were away and I am so glad you got that piece, I honestly should have just offered it to you in the first place now that I think of it! Anyhow, I thought people brought some very nice and some truly old things, and I was happy about what I said except for one error I made about the bible that came (please see pinned comment above). Barrett-Jackson apparently sold it to a couple who divorced, so that is why the complication...not sure whether it left them for someone else or was kept by one party. Barrett-Jackson also apparently pooh-poohed the notion that this guy had the actual flag, which sure looks right to me in every way. B-J is making so much on selling classic cars now that they probably don't have time or wherewithal to deal with what would be a low-dollar transaction for them, that's no dig at them at all but just the reality of the fact that they're a major auctioneer of cars specifically in peak market times.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad There's no way I'm going to miss watching a complete premier of yours, so I had to come back and watch from the go. I'm happy you put that piece on eBay, instead of offering it directly to me. I was curious if that important aspect of it would gain attention. I've never seen that before. They did bring really nice things to be appraised. I caught the error about the bible, but with you having so much to concentrate on, with the many appraisals, so I didn't think anything of it. It was an error of history, but not of the value of the bible, itself. I know you do your best to be accurate in the information you provide, though, so I understand why something like that would concern you. The likely reason B-J pooh-poohed the notion the flag is genuine is because they weren't the ones that owned it 😂 Self-importance has a tendency to create arrogance and ignorance 😏 If they had been willing to do a selfless service, they, themselves, could've contacted the buyer of the car and asked if they would be interested in having a look at the flag...one phone call.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS you know, I just agree with all of that, and thank you!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Great! I hope to do again next year at the same location

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I'm late getting here, so I'll have to watch from the beginning...I had something I had to do 😉😁 I'm not big, at all, into the owl items, but I really liked that porcelain amphora-style one. I like yellow topaz, and that ring was a nice one. The emerald cut really made it appealing, to me. Yellow topaz was my granddad's birthstone. I'm going to go back and watch from the go...

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The old glass-eyed owls have always been my favorite! So he was a November baby?

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, he was born 2 November, 1910. That owl was very well made, and it did appeal to me. Most of them...not so much. I never got into the owl craze of the 1970s, so they've just never had much interest for me. The realistic, well made, detailed ones do get my attention, though.

[@1beyond]

Really enjoying

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! Me too. They brought cool stuff to see

[@janetpogue4970]

Me too 😊

[@janetpogue4970]

George, as u looked at the yellow topaz, u mentioned that there is something that can be used to determine the grade of gold. How is that done?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I recommend either getting the chemical and materials to do a scratch test, or to know a gemologist who has really expensive new equipment that can tell whether a place is really plated. Unfortunately, they're making heavily plated gold jewelry over a cheap heavier metal core now, and you can't tell unless you scratch it to reveal the innards, or have a super duper camera than can look through it. The chemical precipitates the gold left by scratching the piece and is adjusted chemically to each gold weight.

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you for your extended answer, I really appreciate the explanation.

[@lindavalentine7379]

George, do you know anything about the artist A.S.M Toyra? My grandpa met him in the 40’s in L.A. and had 7 paintings done by him. I have 5 of them. He was from Northern Europe. Do you know what his paintings are worth? Or would they just be for the value of family memories?

07:09 I've been a wood block junkie for 20 years. If that's real Hiroshige it could be worth a pile. Re Bibles: the King James isn't the King James. There were two Revisions that I remember, the last circa 1769. The English language had shifted and they updated the text.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you for the info on King James! I had forgotten the second revision. I also made a misstatement about the timing of the first edition that I will pin in the comments above.

Your English history needs work, George. The King James Version was translated by a committee of scholars appointed by James I, who was king from 1603 to 1625. Charles I, who was his son, was defeated in the English civil war, leading to the Commonwealth led by Cromwell.

[@timhazeltine3256]

Yes, James I was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. He became King James VI of Scotland at the age of one year after his mother was forced to give up the throne. King James VI became King James l of England in 1603 upon the death of Queen Elizabeth l because he was the great grandson of Queen Mary the spouse of King James IV of Scotland. Queen Mary was the daughter of King Henry VII of the House of Tudor (England) and his consort Queen Elizabeth of York. So, as the senior descendant of the House of Tudor he inherited the English Throne. An interesting fact is Scotland and Britain (Britain = England and Wales) remained seperate countries until the early 18th century. So the two countries were only united in the person of the monarch. Consequently, the sovereign's 'number' could vary, hence King James was simultaneously King James VI of Scotland and James I of Britain. It's completely understandable that George got a bit lost in the weeds of British Isles history.

[@janetpogue4970]

What the heck 😂 are u correct or is this baloney? My gut says you are correct, that's so convoluted it can only be ture. 😂 wow

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@vinyl1earthlink @timhazeltine3256 You are both correct, I had this misfired in my memory. I will do a pinned comment above if I can't pin this so people see the corrections you have made. I appreciate your willingness to help keep things accurate on this channel!

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

@@janetpogue4970 - It's the basics of the chronology of English political history, that would be covered in an undergrad English history survey course. When you get to the grad seminars on 17th and 18th century English history and politics, then you're really in the weeds!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

​@@vinyl1Earthlink @janetpogue4970 I agree, and I admit I only have a sketch outline from what I have read, I took history of North American countries in lieu of English history in school. I tell people all the time that I'm still learning, and I appreciate when people who know more teach me something!
