Hunting an Estate Sale for Vintage Treasures | Uncovering Hidden Finds!

[@poodlegirl55]

When I was graduating high school in the 70's the local furniture store and Lane company gave all the girls a free little cedar chest with a discount coupon to come to come in and buy furniture as it was assumed that we would all get married immediately lol. I think that happened for a couple decades before that too.

[@bonnieikamas1201]

I , likewise, received one in 1969!

[@eunicegambrill5887]

I too

Jeffery, you crack me up! Aroom for just chairs, chairs that you can put in a circle, so you can share your feeling together. Such bonding.🤣🤣🤣

[@ritacallicrate8161]

The little lane boxes were given away in my home town to the girls when they graduated from high school.

[@janetkorsak]

Same here Rita, I still have mine. Graduate 1975.

[@janetpogue4970]

Nice, my boyfriend gave me a full sized Hope Chest,because his best friend had given one to his girl 😂😂

[@lindagarner1320]

The Lane mini chests used to be given to girls graduating from high school. My late Mom had one she got in the 50s.🇨🇦

[@judyk928]

I got mine when I graduated in 1976.

[@tonia6063]

I also was given one by a local furniture store when I graduated high school in the ‘90s. We’ve picked up a few more at estate sales for $1-$3 each.

[@lh5677]

They sent a card to senior girls to bring in the store & get your free chest.

[@monalingan9523]

I have my mom’s cedar box too. 😊

[@rhondaborders3452]

I got mine in 1977.

[@janetpogue4970]

I think, Tiffany would really like the amber vase.

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi Jeffery, fun shopping with you and hearing about the pieces you look at ! Thank you 😊

[@joandegroat-ives4532]

I'm from Central New York state, and back in (at least) the 1950's through 1970s, the Lane cedar boxes were given to girls graduating from high school by local furniture stores. I believe the idea was to help plant the seed that the girl would eventually want a Lane hope chest.

[@lindasnyder5048]

Yes I got one of those cedar boxes from Lane in 1977 when I graduated...but never bought the big ones...I had a large whicker trunk I got from Pier One that I used for my hope chest..I kept with all kinds of things in it for when I got married ...my husband has the cedar little box on his dresser with his goodies in it...

[@donnarainville2256]

GREAT MORE ESTATES SALES. 👍👍❤️🙏🇨🇦

[@elizabethwilliams1765]

I graduated in the 80's in Central NY and got one as well!

[@beckyslife6307]

Jeffery, you crack me up!! You can be so hilarious 😂😂 Loving these estate sales in The Villages. Have an awesome day😊

[@sarahhardy8649]

I’m glad you said it was black depression glass. I assumed it was just 1970’s. Every day’s a school day with me 😂

Love your commentary as you thrift! You make me laugh as I’m learning!

The "chair room" made me laugh out loud. If I keep finding and buying mcm chairs... I may have a real chair room 😂

[@monicageer5192]

At our high school graduation we were given a miniature lane cedar chest exactly like the one in this video. I believe it was in hopes that we would purchase a large one. This was a tradition at our high school for as long as I can remember.

[@ldarmons3752]

It was a great marketing strategy to get you to buy a hope chest. We all got them too.

[@DottieWoods-um7ox]

I would have purchased some of those red ceramic pieces and definitely the green Hull small pot for just $4.00. Nice and unique design. Even if left empty.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I loved the red ceramic pieces! So many things I would have bought! I don’t have the self control that Jeffrey does, lol. That’s why I have too much stuff!!

[@brendastraley8829]

I noticed how clean those planters were. Jeffrey should have purchased those. Guess not his taste since moving to FL.

[@gulfcoastsunset5879]

Jeffery, I really enjoy hearing how knowledgeable you are on so many terms regarding the different types of items. Also, You're commentary cracks me up sometimes😂LOL . Thanks, I've learned something new in almost every video!✨ 🤩

[@janetpogue4970]

Good morning, have a great day everyone!!! Thanks for video

[@bdj4827]

I also received an identical cedar box upon graduating high school in 1970. It was great advertising to encourage our parents to buy a cedar chest either for a graduation gift or bridal gift. I still use mine to store tea bags. Perfect size!

[@jodiely7983]

That plasticware was definitely vintage. The thick, sturdy quality - not made like that anymore. They would look cute in a summer kitchen display! The colors were fabulous.

[@kathylovejoy2569]

Jefferey, I'm so happy to see more of you thrifting videos. Love seeing all the neat things you see and buy. Your hilarious little comments always crack me up. I have to laugh every time at them. Would love to see more kayaking videos with Liam, if that's possible. He was funny too. That river was so peaceful and quiet, monkeys didn't worry me too much, unless one would have jumped from a tree in the kayak, lol But I was all for leaving when I saw the alligator. Reminded me of Jaw's---We need a bigger boat. lol There sure are a lot of estate sales there. But still no table. Hopefully one day soon. Good Luck

[@bebejewels1525]

I think you’re right about the little cedar boxes. I think it was a great use of smaller pieces of cedar left from making the chests.

[@TheCrazycatlady64]

The lane box is a give away. Our local store gave them to all the high school senior girls hoping it would bring them in to buy a hope chest.

[@mildredcaudle7272]

Hi Jeffrey, I love watching your videos and I love your sense of humor! I received one of the little cedar chests for free from a furniture store when I graduated highschool ❤

You are right about the Lane chests being a giveaway when you purchase a large cedar chest. Love your idea about the chair room!!!

Fun☆ Fun☆ Fun☆ Can't wait for tonight's sale!!

[@laurasink2364]

When I graduated from high school in 1980, we all were given the lane boxes as a gift😀

[@vickster3240]

I would have gotten the orange vase and tried some cleaning techniques. Mostly out of curiosity and some for experience. $3 is worth an experiment! Lol…

[@lauriewilson4741]

Would the denture cleaner work on the calcium buildup do you think 🤷‍♀️

[@cathifamjourney469]

Yes, the lane cedar keepsake boxes were given out as graduation gifts for the girls in their community. Each participating furniture store had a supply and would give them away along with a percentage off of lane cedar chests. I worked in a furniture store in the late 70's and have 1 myself from when I graduated in '82.

The cedar chests were given away to high school graduates. You would get a coupon at school, and go to the store to pick up your chest. I still have mine from '85. I'm glad you got the black glass. That's my favorite. 😊

[@TheNYLADYBUG]

" Room full of chairs" really cracked me up!😂😅

Good morning Jeffery. You've really moved to a good area to source inventory.

Cedar boxes: Everyone who graduated from our high school got one of those upon graduation. It had the Lane stamp inside it, in addition to a stamp of our local furniture store. I got mine in 1981.

When I graduated High School in 1981 the local furniture store gave each girl a Lane jewelry box, it was an incentive to buy their large cedar trunks.

[@lissamcdermott756]

Lane little box was a giveaway when I graduated high school in the 70’s. Furniture stores wanted to introduce us to owning a Hope chest.

[@cindykoth2289]

the lane boxes were given to girls in the 70s as a graduation gift to entice them to by hope chests i still have mine grad in 1975 and i know they did it for years before me too but not sure of the time span

Hi. When we graduated from high school (1979) we all got a lane cedar box for free! Really cool.

[@Carolyngenea]

Graduating senior girls where I lived always received a free Lane box. I still have mine. The furniture companies wanted you to come into their store to consider purchasing a hope chest. My younger sister purchased one. I have my aunt's chest.

[@janetd4862]

The little Lane chests were given to young women graduating from high school. (Barry, from the channel Mad City Modern, went and visited the defunct Lane factory, and learned a lot from the locals.)

[@lucydavis1477]

In Virginia all the graduating girls from high school received a small Lane Cedar chest from the local furniture dealer. 1970’s. Exactly the same as the one you found.

I grew up and graduated high school here in Jacksonville, Florida. We received the little Lane Cedar Chest as a graduation gift back in 1980. I'm not sure if they are still given. Mine still sits on my dresser.

[@marygraham3563]

Enjoy watching you look around. Question: why aren’t you buying many things lately? You keep passing in some amazing pieces. The ones you do pickup are very small. I know shipping is a pain but you used to pickup some amazing bigger better items. Just curious.
