My grandmother had a nearly identical piece on her wall for years. It was a small gold clock, with a parchment color background and black Roman-style numbers on the face. The clock had a small self-winding dial that came out to wind the clock, which seemed to run forever. The two screws prevent it from moving side-to-side while you install it and give it more attachment points for the bottom of the piece. If you recall, back then items were installed into plaster & lath, then through that were often oak or other hardwood studs. No wall anchors, no drywall, no pine studs as often found in today's home construction. An antique clock shop may have information missing a clock. The other boxes-liquor crates and the one with all the small drawers were often used in sewing, kitchens, and even some smaller hardware stores-but those often show the oils of the items held-screws, brass pieces, and have wear marks from being pulled in a certain direction OR if the items held were heavy. Most homes had at least one in the sewing area or in the kitchen to hold spice's from my experience and seeing them. Really enjoy your channel and best of luck!

[@johnnycigar2061]

That sounds pretty interesting and cool. Interesting how these days they make everything so differently

[@hal0eight]

What above said. It would have been a clock and you would have wound it from the front with a key. You'd open the hinged glass front, wind it, off it went again. They probably only needed winding every few days. In 19th century manor houses where they had clocks, it was the job usually of the butler or valet to walk around and wind all the clocks a few times a week.

[@angelajohnston2440]

Its a victorian watchmakers cabinet used for springs and accessories the roundal is for a clock

[@danobrien3109]

Honey looks at Pete when he’s looking at the rods as if to say” what do you think Pete”. That cat is hilarious and I don’t care much for cats. Ruby is a beautiful bird. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@NutzBdragon]

cats dont talk.

[@hestheMaster]

I think Honey is quite the assistant to her daddy and being a camera hog as well! Love her jumping across to the other wood display case at 15:53. The Honey shot! Sellers are offering some pretty nice old stuff on this one.

[@dangeranger69]

Moosehead beer is from my home town! HOME OF THE MOOSE!! We have a moosehead hockey team sponcered by them THE MOOSEHEADS!

[@boru1326]

this is really cool to watch, content is great and watching Pete's patience w people is good for me.

[@caroldillard7891]

Honey made me laugh when she jumped and slid on the counter..lol Ruby was very content on ur shoulder, i love those two!!

[@wingerfan1]

That small cabinet looks just like a Victorian watchmaker‘s cabinet. There would be a clock/watch and that round area and the drawers are used to hold springs tools and other small accoutrements.

[@skiphughes7705]

Dude you did great on those knives

[@marlenejordan9442]

Grew up not too far from Camillus Cutlery. That's just west of Syracuse NY. Think they started in the early 1900's and closed in the 2000's, over 100 years! Sto Lat, Pete ! Love your video's !

[@MetroWalt]

Your videos have become so much fun to watch lately. It has to be your editing. Thanks Pete.

[@bigjaysfindsonebay155]

Moosehead is made 3 miles from me in Saint John NB Canada. Great crate

[@mattymac444]

Speak in kms fellow Johner

[@CW0123]

15:49 lol at Honey being a cat 😹

[@Adcmd19]

LOL i wasn't focused on Pete at that point and found myself just quietly muttering come on Honey you can do ittttt!!!

[@thomasgentry6201]

Cat can Jump!

[@justsomeguy404]

May have been a barometer or something like that related to the weather

[@LazyIRanch]

I was thinking that too, maybe a hygrometer or thermometer. If this chest held dry spices or something similar it would make sense to have a humidity gauge.

[@jailer1619]

A file made into a knife is technical a shank!

[@h.h.h.4480]

14:37 This must be the most epic Honey moment caught on “videee-oh” to date. Undaunted in her quest to be both lazy and productive at the same time (felines do this) Honey begins her 4th quarter, Bears game on the line motions. Why jump down and walk and hop back up when one good vaulting heave could do it? Will she make it counter to counter? Will undamaged items remain? How many hoomans could get in the way? Remember where you are, so you know where you were when Honey put it all on the line!

[@jimmckay2337]

Her sliding land created some suspense.

[@silvermountainman2562]

😂

[@Horzzo]

I was sweating that landing. 10/10!

[@bajahipb5846]

Barometer? Very common in the day. No weatherman to watch. small hallway cabinet?

[@Stokjockey]

Honey, Nice Glass Landing !!!

[@AidyOC]

I love watching ur videos especially when Honey is in them. She is something else 😍 Also, if u get a chance can you show off some of those knives. Thanks 😊

[@bLuPhYrE]

love the closeups. keep em coming!

[@Nanoparticle7]

It holds a Fart in that round space

[@clappingpig]

Thats what I was thinking as well.

[@Nanoparticle7]

@@clappingpig great minds think alike

[@blindspotspotter.2352]

Maybe that brass circle on that first cabinet you showed is to hang an old phone receiver on.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

That Moosehead Beer box is a beauty, eh? The dovetail corners.

[@indiefolk101]

Honey's jump was slick!

[@NewEnglandKajunRootsReseller]

That green lite cove is seen in the French Quarter in NOLA. The clip in the bottom back wall in the center is for a clip to hold the Gas Line which is for Gas lighting for the door entry. The front door is to help relite it if the wind knocks out the flame to the gas line. That wooden wall piece that round hole in the front bottom is for a clock that a self winding like the old traveling alarm clock for made for that piece.

[@Neil.intrude.allowed]

I'm probably coming to this vid too late. The slim drawer cabinet at the bottom looks just like the cabinet I have (I'm in the UK) it's a watch and clock makers tool cabinet and should have a lockable wooden front cover. Love what you are doing.

[@shaneomac5113]

Early iPhone charging port. Very rare. 😉😂

[@cchope3172]

Great video I just love the way you film now :)

[@martin9652]

Beautiful General Electrics Fan...Lovely.

[@mjmj2860]

Another good video Craig, Honey is a beautiful cat!❤🐾❤🌻✌

[@koolblue6927]

Loved the Honey jump!

[@dano336]

i thought she would overshoot the table (slide on the glass)

[@minipyrokamden2324]

I didn’t think honey was not going to stop and slide right off when she jumped over

[@garryjha1]

The Moosehead Beer one is from Halifax, Nova Scotia Peter, Peter I was a little hard on you a couple of times,just want to say your not a bad fellow,i like you now so am sorry for that, Bless you Peter!

[@ChainringTours]

I like me a decent knife, but something tells me that guys like this is why knives companies exist. That's so many knives!

[@KB9QHN]

15:50...Honey almost slides off the counter...lol.

[@WeaponizedMarijuana]

Ahh thank you so much for dipping the audio when Ruby squawked! Normally a lot of the conversation is quiet so you turn up the volume, then Ruby chimes in and I jump straight out of my chair!

[@save2rave61]

Wow. Someone bought something

[@Tits_Money]

$400 ÷ 58 knives = $6.89 each 😮 Good buy 💪

[@thomasgentry6201]

Hire someone to answer Phone ! Please Peter! Honey preparing to Jump !5 min in video is amazing!

[@idkwhatimdoing8707]

First one could be a shaving station with a little mirror originally

[@christyler708]

My first thought was it part of an old vintage telephone ,maybe the bell or dial fitted in there ?

[@ralphadams4478]

What threw me off I just seen I think a coin collector on your show recently that reminded me of the ones they use to use on city busses years ago,seemed similar at a glance but it just popped up in my head for some old reason...

[@rzbkfan190]

The lantern appears to be a Charles Edwards style candle lantern and the holder in back is for the candle holder. I found one, not identical but very close, online. The pair sold for $700.00. Edit: not $700 but $630.00

[@aevans-jl9ym]

It's called a 'Westminster' lantern in the UK. If Antique or new they cost a lot.

[@theresaohman7187]

I was holding my breath when Honey was walking in the fishing poles praying she doesn't get a hook in her foot. Glad to hear Ruby, 😆

[@Scrobner]

I think the mystery round area is for a small mirror. Seems to me like that is a piece that goes in your entryway, holds keys, a scarf, checkbook, um a couple of dime bags maybe (kidding), you know what I'm talking about though! And then with a mirror at the bottom of that entryway piece, you can check your look quick before you go out the door. Check the tie, check the hair, take a bump and then check the nose, check out the fly suit you just bought. And then finally it's confirmed, you are a damn handsome man and you are ready for whatever life throws at you that day. Fo sho!

[@paragian1]

Honey almost dropped off the backside on that glass display cabinet jump 😻

[@jimtempleton7418]

Hello From Glasgow Scotland UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@ralphadams4478]

At intro looks like a coin receiver for a bus

[@historyhunter5215]

That wall sconce looks like a late to mid 19th century French lantern. Most possibly a railway lantern as most sconce boxes was wired to electric.

[@johnfackrell7516]

ruby a lovely macaw i had a blue an gold called harry for many years he would sit on my shoulder and go any where i went never ever tried to fly even though his wings were not clipped i did try to buy a ruby but here in the uk loads of money

[@frankroper3274]

Maybe a small photo hung there. 1893 clocks were pendulum or pocket watches.

[@michaelamanek8908]

Cool Pepsi stuff.

[@castleladpaza76]

You have minimum of $1000 in resale on the knives.

[@waltonwalton4309]

30 kniives for 400$ would have to sell each one over 20 $ or more to make any money he should of told him 200 not a good deal pete

[@michaelamanek8908]

Thea included the poles and reels. I was thinking the same thing but the fishing stuff might be money.

[@r2steve2]

The hanging unit is for an old barber. The circle piece is for the barber to take his shaving creme brush and smack it back and forth cleaning it off. It's a great Midwest expansion piece and I'd give you 55 for it

[@trevorstewart9822]

THAT WAS PROBABLY A PLACEMENT FOR A OLD TYPE PHONE,, THE CIRCLE COULD HAVE BEEN WE'RE THE RECEIVER WAS PLACED,,JUST A GUESS PETE,,, BIG HELLO FROM DUBLIN IRELAND 🍀🇮🇪🍀

[@robsouth2]

These people have to learn, always make the buyer offer first.... smh....I need to open my own store lol

[@Killacorn]

That cabinet with the circle in it is an old cabinet where I used to stash my weed in. It's an old weed stash cabinet from 86

[@martin9652]

It's Made out of the Top of a Grandfather Clock Mate.... Martin

[@stoptuna7671]

Those knives are obviously not his.

[@BUGSYGz]

Pete the latter you have is to put on the outside wall with two candle ,etc..

[@wmrphotography7349]

The lantern case probably had an oil lamp in it, I can't imagine a city using candles.

[@castleladpaza76]

Parts of England used candle lights mainly outside of shops/stores or garden/yards

[@bocabral1433]

My great grandpa had something similar to that hanging in the barn in the horse tack room that he kept his horseshoe tools in and at the bottom like that one there was about a three or four inch brass horse shoe plaque but I think that one probably had a round temperature gauge or a manual 60 Minute Timer ?

[@viciousgaming1413]

wow very nice knife collection holy cow :)

[@Tony02062]

Watching from Massachusetts enjoy these videos

[@chrisbruggers8076]

I have that exact same GE fan! Mine works too but not in quite as nice condition. I always think about getting it restored.

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

Ryan is funny. Maybe give him his own segment each episode ;)

[@MattBlytheTheOne]

12:55 could be an oil lamp from a coach, as in coach and horse? They would have had electric lights by 1890.

[@donwillis5802]

"shed some light on it " ~Pete ( Talking About A candle Holder ) Light! lol

[@Rompler_Rocco]

I really want to say a round clock, barometer, or medallion? 🤷‍♂️ (There is an image online of a German carved walnut clock c1890 with a round medallion at the bottom, not sure if that was popular)

[@frankroper3274]

Gas lighting was used in the 1880s so it may have been earlier than that.

[@garys.1415]

$400? He won on that deal. For sure!

[@eugenek5944]

CRKT knives also you can call them cricket knives 😅

[@hentlerob7565]

Honey help you Pete for make good on great stuff & goodies …cheers !

[@davidellis5141]

Smart move to let the one guy value his 🎣 & 🔪 !

[@cferguson3368]

J PCoats made sewing thread.

[@oldskool1979]

That fan is amazing.. how well it was built...

[@jeremyjones8872]

On the 1st it looks like a small round decal was in it at some point

[@YAHWEHtoHELL]

The cabinet may have held a barometer?

[@stephenfanthorpe2708]

Can you tell me the hole size and the size between the mounting screws thinking that’s gotta be a start , love the channel btw

[@SheriffofYouTube]

the kitty is spraying them boxes up nice :0

[@ADMDGLS69]

Dang those knifes were worth waay more than $400 he should have offered around $600 at least

[@KurtAspaas]

Honey is a rock star!

[@dougcoonce]

That looks like a box that would hang over a telephone and the receiver would hang in that round gold circle

[@knotNyourHead]

Maybe the circle piece could be for displaying a family crest?

[@keeperzero]

That cat almost wiped out when I jumped from counter to counter

[@gman5051]

Ruby’s got your back !

[@jns1944]

The lantern is a Flea Market Wide Wall Sconce

[@tammylouasksdearsubswtf7955]

Knife guy! You could have gotten $500! :)

[@outdoorsaddiction1085]

Great Video Pete! 🙂☺️

[@ChiralityPracticality]

You know for sure a "Rich Crack" dealer purchased that "Pyrex art" poster

[@mallesbixie]

Maybe a simple scale or balance to measure goods?

[@themexicanwolverine]

For the last guy it took me 3x watching to realizing he was buying not selling. He has good taste.

[@goldpicker100]

The barometer is missing out of it

[@everettloucks495]

Wow! you stole those knives and reels for $400! Better hope he comes back... He got what he ask for..

[@bradleyclosson5042]

Bottle opener in that circular hole of the cabinet?

[@garypollentine194]

The box with the draws is a pocket watch display box the brass clip is missing that hold the pocket watch the glass lamp its candle holder is missing so is the original try to catch the wax

[@catherinemorgan2741]

Something for a mud room or old card room for playing poker

[@frankpaulin5211]

honey with leap of faith 😂

[@kimmyscollectibles747]

Smooth move Honey!!! Love your videos Pete!
