I REALLY Wanted It! | THRIFTING for VINTAGE Better Than GOODWILL

Vendor Mall VINTAGE SHOPPING! | FLEA MARKET FINDS | RESELLING
Traderbakers in Newburgh, Indiana is a great alternative place to shop for antiques! Vintage values abound in this midwestern chain, and the Newburgh, Indiana store is one of my regular stops in the area. Let's go shop together, and find out why!
This twist on used goods reselling presents the wares of a lot of resellers, with everything from newer housewares and pre-owned furniture to antiques and vintage, representing a wide range of collecting categories and classic home decor. We find a lot of surprising things in this vendor mall, from Victorian enameled cranberry glass and 1840s Creamware teapots and pitchers to 1980s Halloween decor and carved shell cameo brooches! Another booth has vintage cars created as gifts for the head of the Indy 500. Are there thrift priced bargains, or do they want top dollar?
We do find a host of interesting objects to buy, and dispel a few myths as well. An "English Victorian" beverage set (at 1:38) proves (after the video is already done) to be Fenton glass from the 1980s, and those "railroad signs" on narrow glass panes turn out to be reproductions made on old jalousie window panes. Vendor malls offer deals if you know what to seek, so we try to separate antiques and vintage priced at fair collector retail from the things we think have potential to flip for a profit. With all that's here, we're bound to find some neat things!
Here's more of the selection we get to explore:
Spice tins, 1950s cookbooks, Victorian enameled cranberry glass, carved shell cameos, repoussé coin amulet, Dunhill 1970s butane lighter, original color 1930s Fiesta Ware, Coke 1930s Dixie Cup dispenser, iridized 1970 table lamp w/original shade, Moon & Stars citrine goblets, 1960s resin grapes, 1976 B&G Christmas Eve plate, 1920s gasket box, 1950s aluminum Indy 500 commemorative race cars, advertising 1930s ashtrays, 1960 vintage Pepsi bottle cap clock, Robert the Robot, Ford Taurus promo car, drip-cut syrups, Seattle World's Fair tumbler, Royal 'Bucks County' 1950s dinnerware, melted 'popcorn' jack-o-lantern, National Guard license plate, Savoy Pottery, Santa Anita Ware 'California Fantasy', Blenko ruby crimped vase, 1970s novelty lighter display, WWI French Red Cross pin, Vienna Art trays, Seneca Driftwood tumblers, Crown Potteries pitcher, 1950s Disney high chair, 1930s round bird wall pocket, Maddux deer planter, McCoy panda jar, Pottery Craft canisters & jars, pay phone, swung vases, Royal China Africana tiered server, squirrel dresser caddy, bone dishes, wild purple floral lamp, Uhl Pottery tableware, 1950s gooseneck lamp, 1950s kiddie table, Bar Master cocktail set, Big Band Crooner purse, Fiesta carafe, Brush flower frog, Italian crackle glass fish bottle, Blenko Nile vase, Empoli bottles,
white ceramic Christmas tree, Empoli cased pitcher, Cook's Beer ad placards, etc.

I knew it as a "teeter babe". wooden model tho..in the 50's.

[@angeladartt1638]

Was so excited to see you at Traderbaker's where I have a booth, then saw you actually in my booth, then saw you bought something from my booth! I'm so excited!! Your videos are so informative and entertaining and I always learn something new. Thank you!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, I'm so glad I found something of yours! It's a really fun store to shop

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

What did George buy from your booth, pray tell. Congrats 👏

[@laraemitchell9064]

I’m wondering if that orange Fiesta glows under black light. It’s really interesting about the uranium content and WWII. So many products were affected by availability of materials during that time.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I haven't tried it, some people say a black light will make ceramics glow but it's not a bright glow like glass

[@doriwilson6991]

George you didn't get the whole set of those beautiful pink dishes? I love that funky 50's design on them.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I would have but the rest all had little tiny flea bites! Still would've been worthwhile though

[@PamIam3559]

Never Look Back😂

[@joannejohnston3996]

I remember the baby chair. I don't remember which one of us used it though. I want to say it was light yellow in color. Lots of good finds there at that store. Happy Thanksgiving to you two!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! Happy holidays

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Loved the California Fantasy ware! Xeno eagle eyed the red glass vase 👍 I have not seen the apostle piece before. I’m hoping you added the ship bookends to your cart 😮. Really enjoyed this place ♥️🐩

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I had fun and there were things I hadn't seen there as well! Glad you enjoyed it like we did

[@mw10259]

13:50 YOU ONLY GOT ONE PLATE ?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The rest had small chips...but I could've gotten more regardless I suppose

[@patricialester2416]

I have that white opalescent lamp but I don't have the shade to go with itbut I really like it I'm going to use it to decorate my new house with

[@YOSOBOHO]

Loved the big green Brush pottery piece! Nothing better than that 1930 mottled glaze. 😍 Happy Thanksgiving my friend! 💕

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks, you too! I do like mottled glazes like you do

[@gardendaisy]

Seems funny to me that u say marble is back in style

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It's trending in the decorating magazines, I think we're a little ahead of the curve but it is picking up...I sold two pieces I've had for three years in the space of two weeks last month!

[@gardendaisy]

@@TheAntiqueNomad i guess people do follow trends, not me ill stick to classics like marble. It never goes out of style i thought

[@donaldp3873]

That set of dishes was awesome. I would say they fit in the "Atomic" style. Buy for $3.99 and selling for $40.....why did you only buy 1? always enjoy your vids.

[@Deborah4Antiques]

I was confused when I saw just 1 plate in the cart. They looked so well made!

[@pattimercer9357]

I was surprised too! Why not take all of it?!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm super picky about condition, all the rest had at least one chip. I probably should've gotten most of them anyhow

[@bubbaebert]

That purple lamp needs to find a nice bordello and settle down.

[@marypaquette8705]

Brian, naughty boy! LOL😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol I don't think you go to a bordello to settle down...it does have the look!

[@karenrodgers6905]

LOL with that High Chair! You are such a kind and patient human. If it were me with that chair, the footage would not be fit to air!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, I cut a few minutes of cursing lol

[@carybrown3070]

Why did you only buy one plate on the atomic pattern??? I would have grabbed all the pieces! They were cute and anything with the atomic look sells well... I am more of a buyer than a seller, and I look for multiple pieces when I buy... it saves on shipping!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I loved them! I was very picky because the others all had at least one tiny flea bite, but I wish now I'd gotten it all

[@persiphonehellecat]

My baby brother got loose in one of those tables - an older version. On my father's watch. Mom was furious but we made lifelong friends of the couple who brought him home - from a block away. And oh those uranium glass canisters!

[@susanalfieri4487]

That's such a funny story! Back when people were more neighborly...alas.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

How funny! It's really great how random meetings can lead to great friendships, I've had a few stories like that over the years

[@FossilForwardFinds]

Little Baby Boomer Darlings may be the best thing I have heard all day. Great video as always!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol well it's from that era

[@tinanoonan3177]

George - my parents had one of those high chair tables. Theirs was made in the 50’s and was called a “Baby Tenda”. The overall look was different than the one in the video (less “curvy” seat, and coloring was pastels rather than bright red). The seat did fold up, bit there was a separate piece that dropped into the chair space to make the top into a solid table. The legs were adjustable in height and were foldable as well. I remember my Mom feeding my baby sister in it (circa late ‘50s), then after we girls got older, it was used as an arts and crafts table. Great memories!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

A second viewer also knew the original trade name! Thank you for the verification, I wish I could have figured out how to collapse it to fit in the car

[@cherylhuot4436]

I love those dishes!!! Unique color and fabulous Atomic decoration!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Me too!!

[@dtruetheeness]

The high chair footage was like Mr. Rogers closing that patio umbrella.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol that's funnY!

[@katbunniekat1962]

I was giggling while you were fiddling with that high chair table thingy. I wondered how many people had tried to do the same thing! I've never seen one like that! Your videos are always fun & interesting! Thank you! I heard about you from the Crazy Lamp Lady!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, that's great! I really enjoy her channel and am glad you found me, please keep on watching and we'll have more fun together

[@OriginalNethead]

Mid-century boomerang pottery... I'd have nabbed that whole pile so fast , but I know someone who wants it. I'd be looking for that vintage Murano. The furnaces to make it run on natural gas, and gas prices in Europe have skyrocketed. (as in bat**** crazy skyrocketed) Some companies have gone cold, and the ones still operating have had to jack up prices. The vintage pieces are going to be a real relative bargain soon if they're not already. That white ceramic tree would have been out the door with me too if it's vintage; the white ones sell for $$$.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I should've bought it all, the rest had small chips and I have fussy customers. I agree about the Murano, not just the gas prices being up but the existence of so many very new fakes and forgeries makes the verifiable old ones more interesting

[@gaeamonster]

That red ruffled vase is Pilgrim NOT Blenko, common mistake. The Blenko one is "droopier"

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh thank you! I should've looked at the bottom to see the pontil mark, I know Pilgrim waffled theirs and I didn't think to look

[@sylviajones4907]

Made me smile. My company went back east after Thanksgiving and I was I bit down. Thank y'all for the fun entertainment & information!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm glad I could bring back some fun for you!

[@BlueFeatherMercantile]

There's a "Feather Your Nest" in Lexington KY just off I-75 exit 115. Very nice vintage and antique mall with ~50 vendors.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Ooh I'll have to try that!

[@Deborah4Antiques]

Loved this show, between Xeno in the cat head and you fighting with that kiddy table! I really liked that place! I would have spent a lot of time and probably money there! 🍁🍁🍁Canada.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol we both had fun, glad you did too!

[@vintagenurse431]

Thank you for sharing, learning so much from your videos.

[@SisterShirley]

You're funny George. Talking about the Braille ashtray but it was not for resale at that price, but it was nice to see.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I wanted to buy it but I was glad I could at least show it!

[@SisterShirley]

@@TheAntiqueNomad George, you missed your own pun. Braille ashtray.....it was nice to see.

[@darnyarner3782]

You couldn’t at least smile or maybe blush when you asked us to watch your shorts? 😂

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol I'm blushing now!

[@george.carrasco]

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@seana2646]

01:33 Its Bohemian painted glass from about 1890-1900. It was made to look like Thomas Webb Cameo glass from England but the Webb its etched into the glass, the Bohemian is painted on the top. 03:28 Spot on with the date. The Apostle set is by Charles Meigh C1842, most of the other similar style jugs you see are by William Brownfield C1840-1870

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Agreed about the Bohemian piece, just wish I could ascertain the maker! I appreciate the maker information about the jugs, I don't have as much knowledge of them as I would like because I have seen so little over the past 30 years.

[@seana2646]

@@TheAntiqueNomad The glass is called Bohemian Florentine, not sure if that was the range or the maker. I managed to have one signed a while back. The jugs are pretty common over here in England despite being very old they were tough so lasted. They do sell for a lot less here but they are expensive to export so understand the costs there.

[@leithsapitan1428]

You boys crack me up.i love shopping with George and Xeno!

Loved the 2 high chairs. Good thing Zeno is with you, too.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I did too

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

The Southern California even Orange County area were virtual hotbeds for pottery, especially Silver Lake parts of Los Angeles close to there Pasadena areas... I probably need to get that closet, start digging stuff out, my own version of retirement... I have a couple of amazing emerald green gold trim Heidi Shoup geisha girls with the umbrellas... a significant investment at the time..

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, I remember when I found tons of great pottery there! I imagine it's still available but maybe not as readily now. Hedi Shoop was so hot in the day, I think if people could find undamaged pieces it still would be but so much is in collections now

[@leahclo4857]

How do you know that’s Blenko? Where/how is it marked?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They usually only had a paper label, except for a brief attempt at acid-etching signatres around 1960. There's great catalog reference books on Blenko that cover things back to the 1950s though, I've mostly memorized them

[@duckysplace1]

That's called a Baby-Tenda

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, good to know! I wonder how it's meant to fold?

[@duckysplace1]

I'll have to ask my sister. We had one as a permanent fixture in our house for years but I don't remember us taking it down

[@nilsarivera612]

love the glowy glass thats all i buy lol

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Nice choice, it's fun stuff!

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

I bought my first glowy glass piece almost by accident - the antique store owner held green depression glass with great disdain and gave me a deal. When I researched the piece I learned all about uranium glass. Now I source it as often as I can, and own a UV light to test it and to do the photos. My most interesting uranium glass piece recently was a gorgeous early 20th century perfume bottle I got from an estate sale. Flipped within a week for $84. My current favorite uranium glass in my shop is an oblong molded glass serving dish, and it glows brighter in UV than anything else I've seen!!

[@deniseginnis4826]

Do you have a shop in Florida? If so where?

Good evening, George! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! I liked the dancing faun statuette at the start. It looked like it could've been bronze. The MOP opera glasses, next to the lighter, looked like nice ones. My granddad retired from Goodyear, and he had one of those tire ashtrays...no idea what happened to it. That Vienna portrait tray was nice, but the price was a bit "up there". I liked the old kerosene pump next to the pay phone. $20.00 for the baby chair seemed a really good deal. They definitely aren't that well-made or sturdy these days. Those were really nice shops and the prices seemed good, too. Thanks for the take-along!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! I love the tire ashtrays, was he in Dothan? I recall there was a big plant there until around 1990. I love a good Vienna Art tray but they don't bring huge money unless they have the right ad (usually beer) on the reverse. I had fun showing you around, thanks for coming!
