[@risevintagegoods6765]

George, I love your videos so, so much. Keep up the great work! One of my best musical experiences ever was when I got to watch Elvis Costello do a sound check at Memorial Stadium in Seattle during Bumbershoot. My husband worked for One Reel, the production company, so my toddler and I happened to be in the stadium during his 5 song sound check. It felt like he was playing just for us. It was pure magic.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, fun! It's so cool to be alone with a serious musician during soundcheck. I've been to Bumbershoot several times but I didn't get to see him. I did see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sonic Youth there, and I was surprised what a good entertainer Sheryl Crow was

[@risevintagegoods6765]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Nice! I was at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sonic Youth shows too. They were great! Wish I'd seen Sheryl Crow.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you for recognizing that, it is real and I'm glad it shows!

My dad was an antique auctioneer and ran Pleasant Valley Auction Co. for over 30 years. He and I used to get out and go looking for cool stuff to resale. We would have a yard sale on the free weekend. We would buy pallets of stuff! He had his real estate license and we would sell estates. Lots of people would call us to come look at certain pieces or what was left after the family got their stuff. We were going through a house and he told me to grab 2 pictures in icky black frames that had been on that back porch for years. As soon as we got in the truck my dad told me "go to the house." I went home and we got inside and he told me to get "eric" on the line. He was in FL and bought/sold famous people merchandise. I got Eric on the phone and told him J R wants you. I gave the phone to daddy and went out to start unloading our stuff. Daddy came out in a few minutes and said we just got $3800.00. I'm like why we don't have anything he would want. He handed me the 2 icky pictures (2" ×3"). He asked if I knew what they were....I told him I didn't but I know we paid $3.50 for the pair. He says That's Shoeless Joe Jackson and his pics are rare and we had one with just him and one with the team. I looked and said Daddy he has his shoes on. Daddy told me the story on the way to eat! We went to the Anderson SC Flea Mkt. just up from our home. I took $1200.00 and God only knows how much Daddy had. Well he found this ugly kids toy and he had used all his cash. He borrowed $400.00 from me. We had to get back home that Saturday because we had an auction that night. On the way home he looked over and says now I'll give you that $400 when we get home or you can wait until I sell it tonight and I'll give you your $400.00 and we'll split the profit. ( Now he could make money just effortlessly, he knew antiques and collectables so well)! I told him no because I'm gonna see you lose tonight you already know but I was not losing my money!!!! I kept his front books meaning I sat right beside him....well he put that ride toy up and when he dropped the gavel on it at $1750.00 I wanted to die. And....when he said sold he says "you should have listened to your daddy....that train is gone.....sold # 85. My daddy was a nut but a great auctioneer and like I said he made money left and right. I miss him more than anyone can imagine...He died at 57 years old.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

What a great story! I'm impressed he gave you that education, how fun and interesting. He sounds like someone I would've enjoyed knowing

This is the first time I heard you liked Royalty memorabilia! Me too! I have several cups from various coronations, including Edward the 8th, who of course was never crowned due to his abdication! Did you know they made poor George the 6th keep the same coronation date planned for his brother? He was so insecure and worried for his young family being thrust into the spotlight without time to prepare!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes I did hear that, they were afraid the abdication would destroy the monarchy if they didn’t do it fast

Thank you! I have had a good run of late

[@laraemitchell9064]

As usual, lots of intriguing items with great back stories. My favorite part is all the information that you give us. I was especially interested in the eagle and having lived in Idaho myself, I was even more impressed hearing about Mike Curtis. I had to go do more research on him and after reading about and seeing more of his work and history, I think you’re estimated value of this sculpture is a bargain.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I agree, I think Mike Curtis is really good!

I have a complete set of Shirley Temple glass. A cup, bowl and creamer. If there is more, I have it. Unfortunately it is in storage until I find a home. It’s probably not as valuable as it was because the young adults today don’t even know her. But it’s special because my mother tried to have a set for all the women in the family. Love your show!👍🏻😃

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

She had a 1970s revival so I know at least my age group remembers her! I think if they're original issue in good shape the values have held up

The belt looks to buckle in the back and the riveted part goes in the front…since belts in the late 50s had details on the front and closed in the back, many were metal or chainlink…I had a red vinyl bow that fastened in the back…also I worked at the J.L.Hudson Co in Michigan in the late 50s early 60s…you guessed it I’m 80 and enjoy your videos…thanks George ☃️from Minnesota ❄️

My grandfather was a rockhound & he had an amazing shop with a rock tumbler, like you mentioned. He made beautiful jewelry & I would spend hours with him polishing rocks & making child size jewelry. I always left his house with a bag of beautiful rocks & a new piece of jewelry. I still have a couple beautiful opal rings that I absolutely treasure! xo

@@SisterShirley yes! He traveled (& my grandmother) traveled the world on rock hounding expeditions. I was fascinated by it at a very young age.

[@owdeguy]

Hi George, just an FYI, that label is actually a misleading label and that is not genuine murano glass. It translates to "Glass made according to the techniques of the masters of Murano" Meaning it was maybe made somewhere in italy but not on murano by the masters there.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm becoming aware that is their workaround! I appreciate your info. There is far too much fakery with Murano these days, it will kill collector interest in the category if they aren't careful

[@owdeguy]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm in a murano glass FB group George and we help ID and keep a folder of good and bad labels there, if you want I can send you an invite. For the novice collector these days it is very hard to navigate, even for those with knowledge it can be challenging!

There are a few ladies with KZbin channels that make clothing and foundations using original construction methods. They would argue that corsets aren't as uncomfortable as rumored to be. Bernadette Banner, Abby Cox, and Cathy Hay if you want to check it out.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm interested to hear that, and I will look into it! I realize corseting is something some women like to do for fashion, it's a little different from the Victorian era when they were de rigueur

Pronunciation of Murano is not 'myurano' but 'moo-rano' with a roll on the R.

I really wish you luck! See every person who views this is going to believe they can make money on ebay, well, youll make ebay moneg, and they will pay you fifty cents, every twelve dollars, plus, all the competition, IE; these many gullible people, so that makes your item value go down, way way down, and ebay takes what little you will earn. Good luck, suckers!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I will take "I wish you luck" at that! Clearly you are having issues with eBay, and I realize a lot of people are. eBay is charging more and becoming more complicated, but it also is the giant antique/vintage marketplace for the world, so finding a way to make it work for as many people as possible is the best thing I can think of to do. As for the competition, have the best one, the cheapest one or the only one. That will take care of the value of your item going down.
