Visiting America's LARGEST Antique Mall! - Heart of Ohio

[@Sherriakey]

Thanks for the museum tour. If only we had the money to buy what we love!😊

[@kyrad6543]

When I was a kid, my grandma used to take me to antique stores in Ohio and Indiana. They always had the best stuff!

Whoever broke the glass on that 7,000 dollar cabinet is probably still grounded.

This is in Springfield which is about 20 - 30 minutes from Dayton. It is quite a bit further away from Colombus. I live in Dayton & this place - Amazing - reminds me why I love to thrift!

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I Googled it for directions, and it is only 30 minutes outside Columbus.

[@danielleheil1640]

@@MimisTreasureCottage yes it's close. I'm in Kettering. Springfield is about 20 min & Colombus is almost an hour & half, traffic depending. But Heart of Ohio is amazing!

[@markellwilliams3594]

@@danielleheil1640 I sure was gonna ask how far it was from Columbus. I have a friend there and I’m sure is wanting to make a visit to see him and this antique mall

[@deplorablespartan58]

Diffently not a 30 min drive from columbus

[@written2382]

It’s astonishing how much all of these items cost today because of inflation, even though it’s only been five years since this video was posted.

I think the pegasus was for Chevron stations, but I could be wrong. As someone else commented, Esso became Exxon. I remember traveling down the shore on the Jersey Turnpike and seeing the Esso refinery (?) tanks. Their motto was "put a tiger in your tank" so the huge tanks were painted white with a tiger's tail coming out the top and down the tank. Traveling the turnpike was an odorous adventure in the '60s-'70s when we still polluted.

[@richtreehugger]

April Anonymous , Phillips 66 is the pegasus.

Some simple Tips for Making Your Videos Look better. Shaky footage will make any video look like a home movie and it can make your viewers feel seasick. Try not to move it unless you have to. Panning around constantly detracts from the good look of a video. Rather than moving the camera if you have to change perspective, it’s better to cut from one shot to another. Slowing down your footage can also help to make shakiness less obvious. Your welcome.

[@justpassingthru3186]

Ohhhh that lamp with the pink globe!!!!♥😍♥😍♥😍♥😍♥

[@kimberlyporter3281]

Amazing items, thanks for the tour. Love love the 50’s kitchen booth. Would love an update on your booths and how sales are doing.

[@sydneyadams4758]

It would be that pink rolling kitchen cart for me! My mom's was yellow when I was was at home ...she used that cart for just everything, so by the time she passed it was in pretty rough condition. Thanks for the tour~~ Waving from Michigan

[@carolinemitchell5825]

Yes, that cart was amazing! ❤❤❤

[@SherryNerreau]

Wonderful things here! Thanks for taking us along Jeffrey. 😊😊😊

[@kathrynlay7428]

Wow is that an antique mall, museum or high end auction house. Great stuff though. A collectors dream.

[@cherylhoskins1679]

I love this mall! I live about 35 minutes away in Dayton, Ohio. I haven't been there in awhile. Must go back...Thanks for sharing!!!

[@maryannthornes4984]

I so enjoyed reading about the write brothers in Dayton .

[@carolyns9687]

Such amazing and beautiful items!!!

[@Julesmakes71]

Loved Aaron's excitement when he found the lanterns, he is never quiet as enthusiastic about ceramic pieces!

[@adalineproulx9773]

Awesome mall!! We went to one in phoenix the brass armadillo and it was huge. Its a franchise.

[@sandysunset4050]

Best video ever! Wow! Total enjoyment! Can't wait until you return!!!

[@jayebuksbaum8569]

Definitely go back, fun to watch...loved the scotty dog cabinet!

[@sassygirl5271]

Love your enthusiasm

[@vintage5729]

Been there several times on our way to Zanesville for Pottery Week. It's massive! I've found some great deals there, though!

[@_retrogoods_]

Antiquing on a Rainy Day, doesn't get much better.

[@magdalenastevense1332]

Great place! And the clock you saw: it said: " Zaanse clock", which means it originates from Zaandam, a city in The Netherlands.

[@PiNkSpRinkLe1]

My favorite place to shop. Have found some nice quilts there.

[@hollidais20002]

The tour was wonderful.

[@daytonmayor]

Hey, you made it! There’s also a monthly auction held in one of their wings. You definitely will need more time to run through the whole mall.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

too rich for my blood, but it costs nothing to look! thanks for the tour! :-)

[@christineberry3076]

Wonder the change couldn’t help pay for it!

@@christineberry3076: huh?

[@shannonrivera8540]

Wow beautiful items there!

[@terrihomer1790]

The black lacquered oriental pieces are carved abalone shells . Beautiful Antique Mall . Rain sounded peaceful . Metallic blue chair . Loved the slot machine .

[@vigerminaberrios4116]

I just love these places. It's the only way I can see the eras that I love like the 50's and 60's etc.

[@stardust949]

hi there! SO glad you three got to stop and tour at least a part of this Antique Mall---you're right, it is almost more like a museum. I live a mere 30 mins. drive from this place. There's also another one, nearly as large, on the other side of I-70 when you're travelling West. Thanks for the tour, I haven't been by this place in several years now.

[@danielleheil1640]

Waving back from Kettering! Maybe we'll run into each other thrifting & grab a coffee!

[@glennissalls4734]

I notice you always draw attention to the chalk ware terms. I have some in a collection that are quite large fruit plaques. Some ducks and some bluebirds. What is the story about them and are they popular now? Are they worth collecting?

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Some chalk where does resale pretty well and a lot of the ones I was pointing out don't really sell that well. I just enjoy them so I mention them lol.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I'll take the bronze cat please! Very lovely art glass. Oh my word that Scottie dog display case! If that store had a lunch counter, I'd arrive at opening time, break for lunch and remain until closing. I had fun "shopping" with you guys and I never left the comfort of my ratty old Depression era club chair. I enjoyed the trip!

[@dianewilliams9729]

I appreciate all the high-end furniture pieces but feel more at home and cozy with items seen in the fun kitchen. That place had a wide variety of items and prices. I agree with Scott’s comment about spending an entire day there but breaking for lunch. On your trip, did you stay on the Interstate or drive backroads? I am wondering how far off the beaten path these interesting shops might be. Nice shopping with you all.

[@michellemack6640]

This is a great place for pickers to learn what to be looking for but their prices are sky high. I hope they can sell enough to to remain in business. Antique malls and group shops here in New England seem to be disappearing rapidly.

[@dianewillson3261]

Same in Seattle There is sometimes a good find once educated

[@carolchidlow4798]

Jeffery you should visit Webb's in Lake City, FL. Biggest antique mall in Florida, more then 400 venders, approx. 4,000 visitors week. I now have a booth there, doing well and having fun.

[@JessGardner93]

I'VE BEEN THERE!!! Spent several hours there just looking and loving the experience

[@apenny_foryourthoughts3037]

We have a big antique mall type building up here in Findlay ohio. I found a lot of nice smells that were not expensive. 4 large rooms that could take the big part of an afternoon. Jeffreys Antiques along I 75.

[@sandraclancy6221]

Thx for going a slow pace, got to enjoy looking at this I can't afford. But still loved it very much.

[@velmamendoza1120]

Oh my goodness Jeffery, I could not believe all the beautiful things at this Antique Mall. My favorite part was the kitchen display and also the figurines. That place was huge. You would need at least three days to see the whole place. What fun that would be!!

[@emilyjane61]

Wonderful! You've go to go back and show us more!

[@francesbrown7539]

That Lady in the picture you said how ya doing said just hanging in there! LMAO!!!!!

[@sandrasnyder8559]

Springfield Antique Mall is awesome! We live in Cincinnati and visit there often. We collect McCoy pottery and have picked up quite a few pieces there, over the years.

[@virginiahello]

Hay, thanks for this one. By far the best you have ever done.

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

Ohio Valley Antique Mall is also huge. It is right above Cincinnati.

[@bigmcfan]

Jeffrey....there is an auction company down in Anna, Illinois, (Martin Auction) that has the “higher end” offerings to which you refer. You might check them out. I have been to several auctions there and bought some nice items. It can be pricey but they have some really good items at times. I think you are close to the Metro East Saint Louis so it would not be that far for you.

[@rubyred8845]

A great place to visit and bring your check book. I love antiques the older and fancier the better.

[@lindascreativelife]

Fun to look and learn also. 50's kitchen is awesome!

[@uwsupergirl]

I don't usually care for green glass but some of those pieces...wow!

[@kimmaddalena5493]

Omg! The last case.....Scottie dogs!! Okay, so there really are a few I don’t have still out there. The prices though on everything else I saw is a bit out there. Antiques, at least in our area have really dropped. So, with what I saw, the Scottie items were probably over priced also, so my hunt will have to just continue in my neck of the woods. Lol. Thank you for sharing your visit to this Ohio mall. Ciao!

[@liesliledan8356]

Thanks for tour! Love those Bakelite bangles and jadeite plates/ mugs!

[@rosenovotny8173]

Even the music they played is vintage I heard it!!!!!!!

[@teresahudson977]

I think you were in Springfield, Ohio not Columbus.It is a fabulou.s place to spend the day.A lot of folksvisit the Extragansa at the fair grounds then visit the antique mall that same weekend. Both are worth the trip.

[@lenjkling]

Heart of Ohio is my favorite antique mall. I live in Michigan but visit it when I go to see my friend in Ohio. Like you say, quality you just don't see elsewhere.

[@edithdavis2848]

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. What a great place that is.

[@wanda520]

Fun to see so much great stuff in one place. Very educational.Esso became Exon

[@sherryv4530]

That place is *amazing* ~ love it! I hope that you are able to take us on another tour. Beautiful items everywhere you turn, the furniture...

[@cardwellave2]

Jeffrey you have to come to the Bay Antique Center in Bay City MI, it’s like three levels and a basement. Huge and amazing! (And much cheaper than this Ohio place). Michigan’s largest!

[@bettygarrett2489]

Curiosity Inc in Canada has old gas station and many old unusually stuff owned by Alex and family.

[@debbiegray1789]

You mean he has an antique store and he buys the oil cans and old enamel gas station signs because they are very collectible to some people.

[@donnaaguilar9985]

Love this video. It’s up My alley

[@missartsyful]

I love the bird on the shell

[@edithdavis2848]

Thank you for a trip down memory lane. Looks like a great place to spend a day looking. Have one of the Brass Armidilo inc. In my area

[@joannhavens4161]

Esso was the gas station when we lived in Germany

Oh man I would have met you guys down there! 😁 glad to see you came antiquing in Ohio!

[@mizzwanned]

I love antique shopping. Wish I had them near me in nyc

[@jojoply]

I can’t imagine who could afford to buy those things. So expensive! Beautiful, made me 🤤

[@fabulouslifeinchrist1349]

Vintage Luxe Antique Mall should be the name of this store. The items are gorgeous and prices are super Luxe too. Not for a tightwad or penny pincher like me...but, I can look and get inspired. It is like a museum. I wanted to see all the tablelamps too.

[@Gail.B]

Thanks for the tour 🤗

[@tsthriftingfinds6598]

I was wondering if you'd end up going here. It is massive, but I go there often for my own little collecting. :) It gets super warm in there though. On a plus, anything $20 and over they take 10% off of and anything over $100 you can make offers on, I think. It's been a while, lol. They have gorgeous furniture there. That large furniture section used to be an auction house, they opened it recently.

[@sheilagraham7970]

I live near there. Its a great place to antique and get exercise. I use that as an excuse in the winter to go there all that walking!

[@tinamariethomas4919]

Are you in Springfield or Columbus? Spring field is the largest in Ohio.

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

Heart of Ohio is in Springfield...just outside of Columbus.

wish we could have stopped there how's your booth sales doing?

Might take 3 or 4 days to walk the antique mall loved and enjoy the walk thanks

[@juliekastel5914]

That was fun!! Thank you

[@TreasureRescue]

I love this store, its exhausting though lol. When you go back, check out Jungle Jims International market in nearby Fairfield OH. It's a foodies dream with an amazing selection of groceries from around the world and...an incredible alcohol selection ;)

[@changedforgood5761]

Have you seen the really large tramp art piece that is at this antique center. Next time I go I am going to take pictures, it's very impressive. I have not made it through the entire place yet.

Heart of Ohio is amazing!!! I have there a few times and you can find some good deals if you look hard .

[@mariascudder3277]

Love this place, been there at least three times and find the greatest treasures there.,,My Pfaltfgraff dishes, a bag of Valentines, wooden utensils, a quilt the lady gave to me, she was moving out and she saw me looking at it , she asked if I liked it and said she would give it to me if I promised to care for it, a chenel breadspread with Peacock....

[@christinefox9075]

I've noticed over the years, people don't want to sell. They just want to show their treasures off. So sad. I stopped buying and selling a long time ago. The only thing I've invested in is antiqued stained glass from a private dealer.

Love.. the asian wall peices beautiful
