There were some eclectic items. All beautiful in their own way. ❣️✨️

[@janicehooper3350]

I love watching you George. You are so knowledgeable, very appreciative of every item you see even if it may not have much value. You recognize and appreciate the connection the person may have to such a piece. Your voice is soothing as well. I look forward to many more videos from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Oh there is a lady from Murray Ky. selling the barrel table and chairs as well as the couch on FB marketplace for 1500.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I watched the appraisal fair when it was live. There were a lot of things people brought that were fascinating. With it being Mother's Day, and the situation as it is, I just wasn't up to getting in the chat...it was a difficult day. It was a _very_ welcome distraction for me, though. I liked the Polish Orthodox icon. I have an Orthodox icon of the Virgin and Child that has a couple marks on it, but I can't make out what they are. The 1948 fashion design book was a really fantastic find. It's not exactly my thing, but I am able to recognise the value and importance of it. It should _always_ be kept intact. The micro-mosaic dog was a really nice piece, and the tintype, with the child in uniform, was really unusual to see. The Red Riding Hood pin is something I would actually buy. I have an antique, upright photo album, with diamond-shaped mirrors in each "door" on it, on which I put old brooches. That would be a great addition. That was a really fun appraisal fair - both yesterday and tonight! I really enjoy seeing what people have collected and bring for an appraisal!

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

the man who had the artest book is so excited his eyes are sparkling.

[@janetpogue4970]

I noticed that too

[@WellSwung]

Yes, I am pretty excited about it lol I love art and knew I had to have it!

Made George eyes sparkle ✨️ too

Great video!!!

[@dirtroadmemories0608]

i always love watching these type of videos. i didnt get a chance to see much of this in person cuz i was out at my booth so i'm glad you put this up. wish i would have brought something to get appraised just wasnt enough time in the days leading up to tique stock this year lol. thanks for the help with the viking candle holders though it was great you could confirm that for me! it was so great getting to meet you in person!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad you were there though! It was fun seeing the candle holders

[@jameslepage4745]

More programming like this. I found it informative and enjoyable. Unlike other venues.

Yes, you are so right

[@robindreyer1123]

I Love watching you and following your channel ☺️

[@tamarrajames3590]

Some very cool pieces in this one George. The micro mosaic dog piece had an amazingly polished surface, usually they a rougher. Loved the fashion look book, really beautiful high fashion styles in there. It looks like a good time was had by all.🖤🇨🇦

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It sure was, I'm glad you too!

I'd love to meet someone like yourself. I have a very large Victrola dated 1903, Thomas Edison. My grandmother owned 3 silent movie theatres and this came from one of them. It does still play.

[@dtruetheeness]

The fashion illustrations were interesting.

[@jennifermata6144]

What were those moist pads you used to test that yellow necklace to see if it was bake light?

[@stephenholmes5362]

Had a great aunt who worked at the Yale mission in China in the early part of the twentieth century. Have lots of embroidery items she brought back. She said the "forbidden stitch " is actual from the forbidden city. Taught to the Chinese by French missionaries and is the same as a French knot! Antique dealers love to create stories that make their items more interesting.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It's similar but different from what I have been told in some manner. I'll have to look into it more!

[@kingsdaughter3138]

We used to hear that refinishing older furniture ruined its value. Interesting to hear George tell the owner of the Lane end table that refinishing it would increase its value. Thank you for explaining why the JFK newspapers are not as valuable as we thought they were. You'd need to have the one from Dallas.

[@lionheart830]

I think the furniture needs to be professionally refinished. With so many people refinishing furniture these days after watching you tube videos, it makes me worry.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Refinishing would need to be thoughtful, but it's not so hard to restore mid-century finishes because they were all factory formulated and applied.

[@lindaburger2695]

I saw the part about fenton collaborating with other artists and I was looking at a cat figurine I got at goodwill and found the "Fenton USA stamp on the cat that I hadn't seen before. The cat is made of a heavy stone and there's a signature on the bottom of the cat that I'm still trying to make out. I just found it online. It is a Fenton Chocolate Glass cat and it's one of 2 pieces.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Cool! Chocolate glass cat is a good seller too

[@janetd4862]

The Lane piece was from the Lane Acclaim line. I’d love to get my hands on the boomerang table and the switchblade table. I have the square end table, in beautiful condition, with its original finish. I bartered for it - I gave two pairs of wool socks that I knitted for it.

[@vintagestufflover7020]

I have refurbished Lane Acclaim pieces before. I sold a set for $450, a small side table for $145 and a single step table for $175 that I paid $10 for.

[@SuzMBooth]

Where did you get those bakelite testing strips?

[@jennifermata6144]

I came here to find out too! Cool

[@figtreediscoveries]

I asked too!

It may be called Museum Gel or Museum Putty depending on where you live. I use the putty

28:53 Is it me or does the guy with the book look a heckuvalot like George? A New Look DIOR et cie sketchbook????? Holy guacamole. I think George is light on the price. In a fashion auction this thing would go nuts! Dude's purchase price x factor of 10, I'd think.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It is entirely possible you're right. The more he revealed about the signatures, the better it got!

[@WellSwung]

There were a few of my favorite illustrations that didn’t get shown either ; ) lots of incredible pieces in that book!

[@beckyc.5743]

This appraisal/discussion was so exciting to watch! Now I know that Mike is Elderly Poodle! I only know his face from his glass channel, Well Swung. I just love what you all do (you too Rosie who is on fire at auctions!) and appreciate it so much that you share it with us.

[@ryders_mom]

Mu-ra-no. Not Myur-ano. 😂 And, yes. I agree on the value of the paperweight - unless Jocelyn (CLL) is selling it. Then it would go for at least $100

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You are correct about the pronunciation, I tend to anglicize it

[@adeleeickholt7940]

I agree with you about Jocelyn's auction prices. I watch her sales, but most items go for way more than I can do. Competition is tough, especially if one lovely lady wants it. I have a few pieces from Berner Brothers that were more reasonable.

[@robynforman1978]

Lane " Acclaim" is difficult to refinish because of the 2 types of wood.

Thank you for the line name, I always forget tht one for some reason

It really isn't that difficult. Stripping with Citrastrip, and then using a walnut stain over the entire thing and then using Howard's Wax n Feed is all I have ever done.
