[@saws2024]

6:09 the monkey plushie doll is a curious george doll i think. Since it's old possibly a collectors item... 30:35 looks like a draw knife for wood working

[@eucebo]

19:30 is a stamps hanger for like an office... Like, municipal workers use different stamps a day, so they had them all hanging there and looked for the one they need at any given time, pressed it on the ink pad, put the stamp in the paper, and hang it again.

[@lorrilj7289]

The violin shaped wood plaque with slots was made to hold collector spoons. Definitely items that are valuable in that attic

[@susanvizzo7534]

it could be a smoking pipe holder?

[@nyves104]

as someone who played the violin growing up and now has a small spoon collection, I didn't know this was something I needed and will now be on the hunt for

[@gwen1337]

The toys deserve research, worth money!!

[@themrsedmonson]

Came here to say this!

[@themrsedmonson]

​@@nyves104Maybe she will sell it to you!

[@vanessapettipas8198]

Shannon that item with the missing spoke is a smoking pipe holder, also that's not a light bulb,it's an old tv tube.

[@dianajohnson7337]

Yup, I'm 60 and my dad repaired TVs when I was a kid. I spent many a day sorting through various sizes of tubes, diodes and resisters. It was what was handed to me if I dared say I was bored.

[@willizaback9800]

Might also be a tube for the old radio in your newly decorated office.

[@lindasadler6338]

I thought it was a pipe holder as well, looks similar to one my father had when I was a child.

[@shari5982]

I remember going with my Dad to the hardware store to use the tube testing machine!

[@perplexingHodgepodge]

Ooh here I thought the spoked thing would hold some big paintbrushes hehe

[@charlesyoung7436]

Not a light bulb, but a vacuum tube for a radio, TV, or other vintage electronic gear. They are collectible!

[@FloridaClay]

Bingo!

[@cynthiadugan858]

Yes! lol. I know it’s a pain in the backside but it would be nice to see those old tubes go to someone who collects and repairs old radios and tvs.

[@mariayanakas8559]

​@@cynthiadugan858Yes, a collector will pay a good amount for them. It could help pay for another project. Very cool!

[@marianneprice2418]

Vacuum tube for an amplifier. Looked it up. Pretty pricey online. Sell them!

[@ifletty]

Or old guitar amps, like my husband's collection of vintage Marshall amps. I heard my husband say that Russia continued to make vacuum tubes as they were phased out by newer electronics made elsewhere. He says tube amps deliver a much more authentic sound. As an LP is to digital.

[@vernieplummer5148]

Oh daaahling that’s not a stroller. It’s a pram. A much haughtier word for a stroller of this level.

[@angelavine7812]

yes pram is short for perambulator

[@metaphoricallyspeaking45]

@@angelavine7812yes it’s for perambulating in the park or square. If you have a mind for perambulation, that is.

[@cherylrosbak4092]

I'm sure Shannon already knows this, but for anyone who doesn't -- the fake snow on some antique Christmas ornaments was made of asbestos, so take care with them. The wooden "fibre arts" thing is, I think, a cooking utensil holder. And the hand plane thing might be a spokeshave.

[@kellielamb3444]

The violin with slots is a spoon holder for miniature spoon collectors

[@JustSaralius]

Dame Laura Knight, who designed the commemorative mug, was an interesting artist that I think you'd have fun looking into. She was fantastic at portraits and her motives are very diverse! She was a war painter during WW2 and is also known for painting scenes from the circus and theatre. She painted a lot of marginalised people and women in particular.

[@Winter_user-qb6jx1rg1n]

Thanks for the info! I’m enjoying reading about her and seeing her work.

[@tracyjane7724]

I didn't know Laura Knight painted ceramics. I worked for the National Museum of Wales, and they have a few of her paintings. Love her work and as a person. Thanks for the info.

[@lynnesoles3604]

thats interesting

[@Adventurmom]

The violin sheet piece of wood is for hanging collectors spoons

[@historical.isolde7918]

Yup. I spotted that one too.

[@kathywiseman7944]

People are also using them to show off old hankerchiefs.

[@wallashakalla]

Pegged that right off the bat. I’m a spoon collector. My dad traveled for his job and would bring me spoons back.

[@Adventurmom]

@@wallashakallamy mom collected

[@dianetaylor1085]

Please get the needlepoint bench cover dry clean to make you sure you don't have any dry rot in the thread or mold. If you don't want to build a bench think about making it into a pillow or cushion for a sofa or even your bed

[@ace_r_ola]

I’ve been helping my mum in her garden the entire day, I’m tired and dirty, now I get to lie down and watch Shannon’s new video 🥲 hello there ❤

[@ShannonMakes]

Nice!!

[@historical.isolde7918]

That item you thought Phil would be interested in is a headlamp and battery for an underground miner! The lamp would affix to your hardhat, and the battery would be in a case or pouch attached to you belt. I grew up in the Australian goldmining town of Kalgoorlie, so I grew up round them.

[@karengoldie6801]

Okay, I thought light of some sort. Good to know.

[@sunnycurtis3236]

Mining is a big part of the history of Nova Scotia.

[@chrisfrear8933]

If you’re wanting to get rid of some of those things, maybe see if you have a local community theatre that you could donate them to their prop collection. I bet they would love them!

[@AlexaLake1]

Good suggestion.

[@ladyflimflam]

The Edward 8 mug could be quite valuable. He abdicated before the coronation.

[@debdutch1520]

You should make mosaic items with the broken pottery. Stepping stones? Cover plant pots? Cover large rocks?

[@cecile3414]

The headless Scottsmen are definitely a nice touch.

[@ShannonMakes]

thank you!

[@tagladyify]

I use my weck jars for fermenting because of the glass lid. So sour dough, sauerkraut, fermented pickles, onions, etc…

[@coreygilles847]

My mom used them for fermentation as well

[@sera7389]

The Sovtek are tubes - probably for a guitar amplifier, but could also have been for a vintage radio or TV. Based on their newness and the way they were labeled though, my bet is on amp. Thanks for another fun video!

[@lorraineroman1173]

I love that idea about the CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS decorating your home

[@giselekusmik9167]

I think I said this last week - these attic finds are SO FUN! 👏🏻☺️💖

[@ShannonMakes]

Glad you like them!

[@charlesyoung7436]

That Royal cup was prospective in nature. Edward VIII relinquished the throne at the end of 1936 before he could be coronated.

[@christinevandermeulen3088]

Depending on how rare it is it could be very collectable to some collectors or even some museums

[@nancynally]

Yes 1936 was the "year of 3 kings". George V died, then Edward Viii abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, making George VI the king. So the 1937 coronation was held - but for George VI, not Edward. The cup could definitely be collectible.

[@2plus2by2]

Yes, I was surprised at that, I didn't think there ever was a coronation for Edward. Interesting, may hold some value.

[@ragnkja]

@@2plus2by2 There was a coronation planned for Edward VIII but it ended up being the coronation of his next younger brother George VI instead.

[@ragnkja]

*crowned

[@treegripper]

The round wooden device you thought was for fiber art is a pipestand/pipe holder. The tubes in the boxes with Cyrillic are TV tubes or vacuum tubes.

[@nicsilk8238]

Wooden tool with handles is a Spokeshave, I've used one for taking the bark off timber. Used the pair down spokes for wagon wheels originally

[@ragnkja]

For de-barking they’d use drawknives rather than spokeshaves

[@nicsilk8238]

@@ragnkja As I said, "I" used one for de-barking, not that it was it's prime use.

[@drogna3905]

Shannon, these attic videos are so interesting. Yes, please show us the Christmas decorations. Some of us, not me obvs, have a Christmas obsession lol Thank you for posting.

[@ShannonMakes]

hahahah ok!

[@jlotoo850]

YES!! Decorating for Christmas with the old stuff (that you have to like, of course, would be so fun--and make a great video as well.

[@karenbreslauer2053]

That railroad type sign would be good in the garden as yard art

[@debraanneclark2188]

The items you thought were bulbs are resistors or capacitors for old radios or TVs, the bladed item looks like a spoke shave for wood working and the item with the broken spoke looks like a pipe stand

[@bonniehyden962]

Yes, to old radios, tvs, electronics of yesteryear. Vacuum Tubes.

[@bernicekingma8348]

The canning jar, the glass lid would be turned over with rubber ring around the edge of the lid, to seal the jar. I have found the jar rings at Home Hardware. In my jar like that I have old marbles.

[@marylawrence8470]

That Ball jar is antique, I have some. You can still buy rubber rings for them at home hardware.

[@Lma8516]

We have the same type in Norway. Great for pickles and preserves if you get the rubber gasket

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Old television bulbs , smoking pipe holder. I can hardly wait until the next video! Love to the pup!❤

[@berthagreen1620]

I have a suggestion for you. How about you make the laser projects and sell them to us. I’d just have to paint them when I get them. I’d be happy to buy some from you. I know you’re not busy. 😂. I love how you reused the creepy headless men.

[@jeanmullins3284]

Love the laser!! The big circle thing is a clothing rack top. The wood violin may be a rack for violin bows. The curlers are for perms. That light with crystals is cool and would be neat rewired and shined up. Coat rack is cool and could be fixed. AND, Yes please to Christmas decor from previous owners!!

[@Toomanydogs7]

The large, heavy baby carriage is called a pram. The Barbies look new. That big round thing is a clothing rack from the department store.

[@aninasmiles1]

You should put your ORTS from crochet, sewing etc into the cute little mason jar!

[@Zillah82]

That vintage baby pram would do well on ebay or at an antique's market. I think the thing with the missing spoke was a tabacco pipe stand. That giant lamp is so cool and you can get replacement chandelier crystals pretty easy. The rust on the oil lamp can be buffed off with a buffer pad for a Dremel. The needlepoint is stunning and should clean up well. The wood thing you weren't sure of looks like a boat tie.

[@cyclediva216]

Sovtek tubes are vacuum tubes for amplification for speakers. Guitar amps

[@elizabethashley2313]

So many fascinating things this time as well! I so wish the big green vase was still intact. The design on it was so wonderful!

[@angelabelyea1904]

The bulbs are from a ham radio which was used to communicate world wide, would be my input. The plain is a spoke shaver, used to crave the spokes in a chair. Last week you came across some edgewood pottery. Some of these pieces if sold to a dealer may help fund your repairs as you rebuild your home.

[@allafradkin]

28:48 maybe there’s an old radio somewhere around or some appliance or a board. They help to fix radio waves or something

[@jnl.]

the wooden violin shaped thing might be a spoon holder. for collectable spoons.

[@berthagreen1620]

Love cleaning the attic with you.

[@ShannonMakes]

Yay!!

[@kimmiller615]

The guitar/violin thing looks like it’s a spoon holder. Not the kind of spoons we eat from but the little spoons that are souvenirs/tchotchke.

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you 😊

[@flatbatterymakes2495]

A few of my observations....My first thought for the item missing a spoke was a pipe stand but I think it's too tall (though proportions can be really out of whack on screen!) but as a spin my own yarn I might suggest that it could also be a spindle stand. The "light bulbs" are twinned with the furniture behind you in your study! The proper title for it is a Radiogram, we had one as a kid back in the 80's and they were vintage items even then. Honestly, if I could fit one in my house, I would invest in one immediately! The sound of vinyl through a radiogram is so warm & all encompassing & second to none. A memory from my childhood that this vlog just pulled out was listening to Prokoviev's Peter & the Wolf on the radiogram and having a love of classical music born in me! Anyhooooo, they're valves for the radio part of the radiogram. As soon as I saw them I knew because I remembered you showing us & moving the radiogram in your vlog a while ago. On to the royal commemorative mug... KEEP IT SAFE! Now, I know that you're not really into the Royals but I understand that wider Canada does have quite a strong Royalist contingent? Commemorative Coronation goodies from the 30's for Edward are really valuable (Ive seen one from a particular pottery valued at £2,000 UK) purely because he was never coronated. They were never sold for very long and as a result are VERY sought after in the UK so I imagine the same in 🇨🇦 being as you're part of the Commonwealth. 💛

[@ShannonMakes]

Crockpot is the way to go... works like a charm. Similar to boiling it, but requires zero surveillance!

[@jeanmullins3284]

[@ShannonMakes]

[@Winter_user-qb6jx1rg1n]

Shannon (office video) “this chair will do, I only have two other chairs” also Shannon “look at my attic full of stuff, antiques and three thousand, twenty two chairs” 😂 You’re living the dream Shannon! The laser printer! And I’ve literally wished to purchase a house with an attic full of stuff to sort through. I would love to buy the baby Pram from you for my new granddaughter; too bad we are separated by roughly 2000 miles (3200 kilometers). The giant chrome wheel looks like the top of a retail clothing rack. The wood handle with blade is an antique planer/scraper. I think used for small detail pieces. It looks similar to the tool used to remove bark from logs but those don’t have wood underneath the blade. Mystery lid goes to an ashtray, I have my Dad’s 1950 ish ceramic one with the same lid.

[@ShannonMakes]

Alas nearly all of the chairs are completely unusable without hours of work 😭

🎸🎶 some people started cleaning it not knowing what it was, and now they will continue cleaning it forever just because, 🎶🎶🎶🎸

[@ShannonMakes]

exactlyyyy

[@uncleraymond3833]

We love watching your videos Shannon. The tubes are for either a radio or television before transistors were invented. There was a hardware store that had an actual tube tester in their front window for years. The house I grew up in had an AM tube radio that took 30 seconds to warm up before you heard any sound. The violin shaped wood is for spoons that people have bought while travelling. I had over a hundred spoons from years of travelling. Also the apple crumble recipe, my wife and I tried earlier and have cooked it twice. It is very yummy and easy to make. Enjoy your videos with a hot cuppa tea. Thank you.

[@ShannonMakes]

Oh, fantastic, so glad you enjoyed the apple crumble... easiest fall recipe ever!

[@tarynkriebel319]

Love the red lantern

[@jlotoo850]

I so appreciate how you value old things--such as the hinge. Your house is FULL of wonderful discoveries! ♥ Those glass bulbs look like old tubes that used to go inside and power antique TVS. Could be valuable since they are not made anymore, but might make a old TV work, if you can find one in the house. Russia probably is the only country that still make them, since they have old TVs still. Probably were ordered from Russia to fix an antique TV

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you so much!

[@Marble-A]

Hi Shannon, thank you for today's video. Love seeing your attic finds. The Russian buld is actually an amplifier. And the wooden tool is indeen a planer.

[@swedechick]

I would love to clear out an attic like that, I feel like it would be fun discovering all these random knickknacks.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very interesting finds. It's mind boggling what people save. Love the box of hardware - score! The violin rack, probably for pipes. The weird light bulbs are tubes for older TV or radios.

[@anacaro1997]

Yes decorate with the old Christmas decoration they ate better than new

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

I think those dolls aren't Barbie but Sindy. She wasn't as popular. As for the baby "stroller", looks like an antique style baby perambulator (never seen one in the flesh though) The light with a battery I agree with someone else that it's a miner's lamp. Check carefully for leaking electrolytes. There may be a maker's/company mark somewhere I think you're right about the embroidery piece. It looks like a piano bench cover I inherited. The pattern but not the colour is identical. I even have part completed kits by my grandmother that are similar

[@wallashakalla]

The slotted thing is for collector spoons. The big spindle thing that is missing a piece could be for smoking pipes. You found some cool stuff.

[@ShannonMakes]

It's the attic that keeps on giving. I wonder the past owners were collectors, if so the perfect person bought this house. I would love to see the Christmas decorations used in some way. Wonder which ones are the oldest.

[@sheldonsussex]

The violin thing is a holder for the violin bows. The things from Russia are not light bulbs, they are valves for old radios. They are worth between £30-60 each depending on the model. Very rare!

[@JoAtkinson-g6u]

The wood plane thingy is a spokeshave. For planing wood.

[@SaraPfeffer]

As a home canner, the jar is old, 1930s or maybe older, you need a rubber gasket between the lip of the jar and the glass top, those are still available. It is a very good 3 piece canning set up and it is infinitely reusable, as long as all the sealing surfaces are sound. The only thing that would make it better, would be if it was the light blue, that's how we can tell age of a jar here.

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

Girl, you have some awesome finds there! Not that online selling would be your first money-making gig, but seriously, the stuff you don't want to keep, you should sell the items online to help fund your home reno stuff. Just add a caveat to your selling that orders will be filled depending when you're in town. Seriously. This could really be a solution to building up some $$$ reserves. Just keep it low-key, on your schedule selling. Folks that want that stuff will wait. If not, that's okay because someone else will want it.
