Knowing how fragile paper is it is amazing to see this wealth of history.

[@bobhollis8784]

Doug and Mary would be Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, early screen stars.

[@juliegraham8133]

Just what I was thinking!!

[@lindaswanson9328]

Awesome locker! This was like a viewing of Antiques Roadshow. The history! Thank you!❤

[@mullinsadventures9262]

People that do junk journals love old papers post cards books and all that kind of stuff! The quilt is worth something 🤗 nice treasures

[@kathycronin3571]

I have just recently started watching all you locked nuts and am just now at this point. I hope you don't change the way your going through things cause it's so interesting. I am from Indiana so seeing a lot from that side of the states makes it more interesting. Love watching the girls and Janna grow along with your business

Wings is a 1927 American silent war film set during the First World War produced by Lucien Hubbard, directed by William A. Wellman and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Clara Bow, Charles "Buddy" Rogers and Richard Arlen. Gary Cooper appears in a small role which helped launch his career.

[@JohnP538]

Wings won the first Academy Award for best picture. That banner will easily pay for the units.

[@JohnP538]

Howard Hughes was the director, pilots died filming the dogfights.

[@JohnP538]

Correction the director was William Wellman,

[@jackwall697]

@@JohnP538 Howard Hughes was one of the pilots who acted in the film.

I love history so love this stuff. My mom and dad were in antique glass so grew up with alot of this.

[@sheilamenlia]

Love the old photos

[@brendacharland1845]

Old quilts and quilt tops like that one very desirable

[@Azoreanislandgirl]

Yay!!! I'm so glad that you reached out to her. Paper and moose is a great channel too !

[@dodim8180]

The circular Wings movie poster should be worth a bunch. It won the "Best Production" (now called Best Picture) catagory at the FIRST Oscars. Plus the movie was thought to be lost till a copy was found in Paris, France.

[@jackwall697]

Wings was the first movie to win the Best Movie Academy Award.

[@timfreestone4145]

Love all the old postcards Wow what history in all of them. I enjoy the way y'all do your videos. Y'all are one of the best if not the best of storage unit finds out there. Thanks for sharing and will be looking forward to the next video

[@mookiepookie444]

So neat! I’m like you, I love looking at old photographs, greeting cards and postcards. My mother has similar items that my great-grandfather had sent to my great-grandmother, so besides those, I haven’t seen postcards and such this old before. Graphics and English grammar was so different back then. People spoke proper, almost borderline romantic - I love it so much! Thank you for taking the time to show us, Janna! ❤️

[@jeanette8943]

Thanks again for taking time to show so much of this historic collection. I really enjoyed seeing postcards from my state.... one design is still in use!

[@donnascott3786]

The ephemera collection needs a global audience, NOT for the flea market. The postcards, letters (with stamps), cards, clippings, photographs and books; regardless of condition, have value. The fabric appears to be unfinished quilts. Individual blocks and quilt tops also have value.

[@miekevanmeerten6106]

Every creative person will love all of this. Scan it and then use it.

[@unclecrog]

please, please, please do not throw out the letters. I would pay anything for letters from Carthage, N.Y. So I imagine others feel the same way about the history of their own towns and cities. You are sitting on a fortune if sold right on Ebay.

[@jamesaaronsmith6747]

Charlie Byrd was an American jazz guitarist. who played fingerstyle on a classical guitar he was an American jazz guitarist. Byrd was best known for his association with Brazilian music, especially bossa nova. i love his instrumental take on what a wonderful world

[@deborahfogel3689]

I found a copy of how to be a good wife ,or something like that I still have it. It was in my Aunt's stuff it was from early 50's I believe. Anyway it said we are to clean the house up and lay our husbands none working clothes out for him so they would be ready when he got home. Have dinner prepared be dressed up beautifully and greet him at the door when he gets home with the drink he prefers. I read all these details and laughed so stinking hard. But I really think most of the time they deserve it. But if a woman has to work also no. I myself was able to stay home with my kids. 65 years old and I was able to stay home all this time been married since 1974. That was one thing I truly wanted to be able to do.

[@barbarathomas2999]

Paper and Mouse is a cool KZbin!

[@marideathydeelz914]

What a wonderful collection of memorabilia. My great uncle owned orange groves in Modesto 50 years ago. I wish we had photos. It's all gone, now.

[@debbivaughn1313]

People that make junk journals love old ledgers used and unused and all types of ephemera. Thanks for sharing that amazing collection! I love those colorful old postcards too Janna.

[@BrianOakesHaitiHunter]

An amazing collection. Even at only a dollar a piece for the stamped envelops and postcards you will certainly do well on this locker.

[@chriscowan7883]

When you get this kind of stuff, do you ever try to find members of the family to give them the letters, pictures and such?

[@lauralee5313]

Cool stuff

[@KC-cq4sw]

So excited and the video just started!!! I love vintage and antique postcards!!!

[@sheilastewart5662]

[@sheilastewart5662]

I have sold a lot of old ephemera one ebay and made quite a little of a fortune. Wish I could find more.

[@lorihilton3146]

I would love to look at the radio show magazine. To think of a time when there was no television, the voices on the radio and your own imagination provide a world of entertainment.

Wooau que hermosura echarle un vistazo al pasado me a fascinado este video mirando tantos años tantos recuerdos tarjetas periódicos y esas navajas de rasurar las tenía mi abuelo que recuerdos tan hermosos gracias saludos de California

[@gaycorrell9732]

I think Strand Pisgah is the name of the theater. Lots of times old movie posters had the theater and times hand written on them.

[@joycesmith5512]

Also the stamps on the backs can be quite rare

[@merrynabb8000]

Thanks Janna and Jack for showing us.

[@bmoritzdesign3862]

Postcards are divided up by linen, non linen. Circulated or non circulated. Holiday etc...

[@hoop8152]

Great video!

[@gailevans2569]

I have a brownie camera similar to that I got it for christmas 1960

[@seanbarker6478]

The film memorabilia is very collectible Clara Bow died in the thirties! She was known as the 'It's girl!

[@lindanelson8400]

Wow, wow, wow, that's an awesome grouping of ephemera. You're going to make a bundle on this. Really happy for you :-)

[@savvyg-ma7277]

Yes, Paper and Moose would enjoy the items you found! Hope you hear back from her!

[@simplycrochet1430]

i referred Paper & Moose to Locker Nuts channel a while back. She enjoys the videos, however, says Jack possibly has his own contact to sell to. I hope they connect also for a deal... her kinda of paper.

[@PatDees]

Love old postcards.

[@bmoritzdesign3862]

Wings a movie, advertising banner. Just look up for movie info. There are collectible shops just for that particular genre of collecting.

[@annettesonneson3468]

Charlie Byrd was a jazz guitarist.

[@Karen...Grunberg]

You are finding amazing antique stuff in the way of cards, photos, etc!!

[@Karen...Grunberg]

I wonder if the book with blank pages would be for writing letters. Then are the colorful 'tabs' maybe was for sealing the letter? Just a guess.

[@Karen...Grunberg]

Those postcards are BEAUTIFUL! And the camera was an amazing find! ♥️♥️

[@wendyladd9862]

Wings was a silent film and if i remember correctly Wings was the first movie to garner an Oscar maybe itwas the actor Charles" buddy " Rogers or both I am an old TCM fan.

[@jackwall697]

It won the first Best Movie Oscar.

[@doreenhubble1082]

With all the postcards you should bundle them all together and sell them on eBay.

[@dianahansen136]

The movie "Wings" with Clara Bow was made in 1927

[@trudyntexas]

I know you're short on time and very busy if you don't try to Quick flip postcards the photos in historical items you'll make a killing. So glad you got this great unit

[@JohnP538]

16:46 That's a hat badge.

[@jamesaaronsmith6747]

those postcards just the post cards sell from $2 -$30 each i think if you take your time with all the paper stuff from this unit you will make a ton of money

[@irenelacour3486]

Jack I used to see this show called paper moose or something like that you could contact Taco Stacks and tell him that you have old letters and she would buy them from you

[@carolmiller7310]

Irene Lacour yes it is Paper Moose and she still posts daily

[@doughgirl9157]

Have you heard of the Graphics Fairy.com? She has a website that people can download ephemera free and or become a member to download exclusive photos etc. She's always on the hunt for more to add to her collection, and there are other sites out there too. Tim Holtz also sells reproductions of All kinds of ephemera. I'm a card maker/crafter and use vintage paper items. Thanks sharing your Paper find:}

[@bmoritzdesign3862]

Quilt tops- which are quilts that are not finished are worth a fair amount $40-70. Especially early from feedbacks.

[@hollymak2482]

That camera !

[@KimHunter58]

I think the metal book with index cards is a old recipe book? Kind looks like one I have came across while cleaning out houses, Not positive but definitely favors one.

[@KimHunter58]

And the straight razor with the little metal box, if I am not mistaken the little box was something they carried a leather belt to sharpen razor. What do you think?

[@WNCBlueRidgeBlondie1]

Stamp collectors might like some of the stamps on those envelopes.

[@douglassiemens4245]

Quick check on the movie "Wings" with Clara Bow and Gary Cooper. It was made in 1927 and the advertising piece you got was from a local showing in 1928

[@cathleenharwood3030]

Love the post cards

[@valeriecollins8780]

I must have missed how the auction went for some of those valuables you found. Could you let me know? Thank you.

[@billpaid6267]

football tickets are super rare and you might put those in a sports auction, could get some big prices. the wings advertising banner is monumental. movie buffs would die for it. wings was best movie i think the first academy awards. incredible stuff you've turned up. charlie byrd a famous jazz guitarist, ticket probably from the 1960s

[@swtpeapati]

Great video! Love your style! 💕

[@calhackit9806]

i'm so glad you put some gloves on.

[@calhackit9806]

never mind.. lol shtap being so rough with the antiques ffs.

[@calhackit9806]

probably born around the 1900's you have pictures of her growing up from that time, then you have her travelling around and collecting post cards and stuff, and keeping her son's old homework and things. she probably died in the 80s or 90s. maybe her son died recently. but those boxes are someone's entire life.

[@calhackit9806]

i wince every time you open one of those books all the way to cracking the spine.

[@calhackit9806]

did you just take off and discard the covering note without reading it? my brain.. ow.. i cant handle this. this is like watching a bull in a china shop

[@calhackit9806]

if you open the film in daylight and try to look at it, my brain is gonna explore...

[@rikspector]

Clara Bow was the IT girl, she made silents and speaking films The looks like a nice item and if you have time(sure:) some of those year or ledger books may have people in them who, became famous, you never know. I think that was Douglass Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Those football tickets were 1929, the year of the Crash. That is a razor(single edge, not a shaver,) When I was a young man all the Barbers used those and they were commonly used well in to the 20th century until companies like Gillette invented "safety" razors. Charlie Bird, an awesome Jazz Guitarist, he was one of the best. Find Him on You Tube. Wish I were there to help you research, Cheers, Rik Spector

[@alanatolstad4824]

Would it be beneficial for anyone other than me to know the history of each abandoned locker? Do you ever get info at the time of the auction? I understand some people pay for years before payment stops. I know there are others besides me who sometimes feel uncomfortable watching the process...

[@trenarichardson690]

What are the dates on the newspapers that’s always interesting to me

[@catsmeow501]

Have you found any postcards with cats on them, I collect those, would like to purchase. Thanks

[@kristineguetschow9134]

Glenna Blackwelder - I bet they’ll get right on that. The whole family will sit around the table and sift through all those postcards in search of cat postcards.

[@junkinjesse7942]

That poster is worth 800 TO 1000 dollar

[@maryanngriffin6428]

o.k. you 2 what do you do with those awesome cards?

[@RonaldJS]

Charlie Byrd Trio tickets, are you kidding me. Jazz aficionados will pay big to own that.

[@nativeamerica9254]

Wowza! Like a time capsule! Did you develop the vintage film cartridge?

[@pamwalsh729]

Santas and any Halloween are better postcards!

[@mattdakin5893]

true - I did better on Halloween Antiques than on Governor Schwarzenegger autograph so witches and ghosts and spooky cards

[@pamwalsh729]

Postcards are valued for their subject matter, holidays, are better, not so much the date of the postmark!

[@emsamish]

Down the street from my house is the largest collection/store of postcards in the world I’m not sure how many millions they have. They have several employees travel around the world going to shows and have full-time eBay listers
