Inside a Packed Collector’s Estate Sale Before Anyone Else!

[@frandutton24]

When I visit an estate sale I tend to get melancholy. The one you are in now I imagined the lady having lavish dinner parties with all the silver and china. Then perhaps garden parties when she would have friends over and use some of her silver serving pieces and tea cups. What fun she must have had collecting all that beautiful glass and other items. To her I say rest in peace sweet lady your precious collections will still be loved and appreciated. Hugs 🥰 to you George.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

She really did love to collect it and loved her garden! She's fortunately still with us in her 90s and ready to let other people enjoy it the way she has.

I'd have to agree, it's a real mix!

I love this video because of all the knowledge you share George but also the large interest the lady had & wish I could attend the sale, good prices 🇨🇦❤️

This is the type of estate sale that I love going to, full, Full, and FULL. Lots of looking and digging to find the special treasures. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day with safe travels.

The old Woodie reminded me of The Flying Nun. On another note, my father passed in 70 or 71, I was around 11 yrs. old. My Mom, every year after decorated the tree and the house in blue light bulbs. Thanks for the tour, George, always a pleasure.

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

OMG The photo cube! I would love to get out in that garden. I almost felt a little sad looking at all those things thinking that perhaps those folks were hoarders. But they had lovely collections. Thanks for a sharing a great video George.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Those were things they loved, and some people just love more than others.

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

@@TheAntiqueNomad This is true George. I think I am projecting my own fears a bit here :) I hope you are doing well. It has been pouring rain here! But as I like to say, we need the water. Take it easy, broseph.

[@lisageilhausen1866]

The olive or sugar tongs can be used at the table for olives on a relish or tidbit tray or the tea table for the little square cubes or sugar, not for the granulated type sugar. Very interesting item.

[@lisageilhausen1866]

I’d take that yellow tea/bar cart that is outside and clean it up and replace the wood with glass as you suggested. It’s such a wonderful shape and I love the yellow color!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I know, it’s a great piece and I can’t wait to see what they will do with it.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. Geez! This was more than a little overwhelming. There was so much there, and so many collections of different things, it would take the better part of forever to browse that sale. At $6 to $8 each, I'd load up on the jewel trees. I would've ended up with a collection of salt cellars, too 😂 I really liked the Royal Vienna demitasse cup and saucer. There was an Asian doll where the Woodstock figure was that interested me. Those Fenton Jade pieces were beautiful. I really liked the vitrine. The quilts would've definitely had my interest. I would've definitely gained a lot of weight...toting all of those geodes with me 😆 It would take several days to just shop that sale. Having to price all of it...😧 Lots of really interesting items there! Thanks for showing it to all of us!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Sure is a lot! The jewel trees are really cute and I'd never seen a whole collection together. The salt cellars are cool, I sell them well everywhere I go. Good eye on the Royal Vienna set, that was more special, and the Asian doll is a cute one that we see more on the west coast than where you are. The vitrine was the best piece of furniture in the house, although I like the marble top chest of drawers as well. Glad you had fun watching it unfold!

[@john-robert1961]

My Laws that place is packed to the rafters with great items. And such lovely glass pieces, although such volume would be impossible to enjoy all in one location. It’s better to divide up so each can be more appreciated Individually.

Hi George, amazzing sale, you're pricing is very reasonable. I was so busy picking out favorites!! The Etude magazines sometime had full page cream of wheat ads on the inside back cover, you might check on that. Dont envy your job of pricing so much, but do envy being surrounded by so mang fun collectibles!! Good luck with this task, thanks for the tour & all the welcome info. Had fun !!

Oh that's cool, I never checked the back of those magazines because I figured it would all be music related!

I fell in love the minute you opened the door. It just wasnt stopping. Is it still going to be this weekend? Did they get everything priced & ready to go? It looks like it was going to be too much stuff to be ready this weekend. Thats just a quick run over the mountain ya kno. I hope they do good. Plenty of things to go around & they could probably have it two weekends in a row & have plenty of stuff with things still left over!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It is going to be this Fri-Sun, they got it together and mostly priced, I think they will do great and I wish I could be there to shop! I didn't grab anything that wasn't available in mass quantities, in fairness to the shoppers who didn't get to see it first

[@MarshaHudson-zn6pl]

I wish there were a way that I could buy something from this estate sale. I sure would love to have purchased all of the purple glass! It is my favorite color and my birth color also. It would make me a great collection.

I suspect there will be post-sale follow-up sales of some sort, or a bunch will go to an auction house or something. However, the way they price, it's usually 70-80% gone by sale's end, even when there's this much

Just when I thought I'd be done with the living estate I've been working on for 3 years, the husband showed me the enormous china cabinets upstairs packed full.....we are taking a short break. I'm going to need cataract surgery.....

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wow! That sounds like a fun dig and a great gig. Cataract surgery is apparently quite amazing and you'll benefit much from it, from what everyone I know who's had it has said

[@martisteele6542]

It has been fun, and I feel like I am really helping the husband in a sad situation(she is in a facility now, she has dementia. I am worried about the surgery. I had strabismus as a child and my eyes have no idea how to work together. I have no depth perception and apparently, I don't have 3D vision. I guess this can fix that but I'm not even sure how my brain can comprehend that!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@ you’re kind to help them! I hear the world will seem much brighter in a literal sense after your surgery, but 3D vision might seem odd given what you said. But humans are resilient and just as you adapted to not having it, so you shall when you do

The Florence Ceramics story is incorrect. She lost a young son to I believe a blood disease (not war related) and she took up making ceramics during her grieving process. But her other son and her husband did not die in the war. That son,a Marine who survived the war, and her husband who was away for a time in Utah during the war doing government work both worked at and helped run her company after the war.

This house is known as a "hoarder's " house, and the occupant probably has a psychological bent and is attached to all that stuff. In other words, I suspect he/she has passed away because hoarders DO NOT let go of anything! Never! Not a button. So good Luck George. There are a lot of neat things there.
