Saving History At The Flea Market!

[@PaperandMoose]

Yes, I knew it was Larry Holmes and that's why I stated, "I keep getting them mixed up!" And yes, then I referred to Larry Holmes as Mike Tyson again. Welcome to my brain!

[@Buzz1151]

Most of your older viewers knew that you knew it was Larry Holmes the "Easton Assassin", because you talked about him many times throughout the years. 👍👍👍

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

Considering the blows their brains have taken, theirs are probably more messed up than yours, if that's any consolation...

[@Vintage-Retro-finder]

What do you do with the paper , items you get??

[@stephenritz5581]

Speaking only for myself, having grown up one town south of Hartford, I’m just as glad it was Larry Holmes. Tyson is not on my list of Hartford’s highly favored (former) citizens. But that’s just me - people change - and judgement belongs to the Lord.

[@AnniePA1960]

I just want to thank you for not bringing your personal drama. You are always classy, discreet and open without being talky. I don't want to have to unsub from you based on something you do or not irl. Stick with the collecting and clean out buddies, and i will be a viewer for life!!

[@01Lenda]

The medal you found, is an Army Acievement Medal and Ribbon. Great video, loving your tote man expeditions! Thanks for sharing, Renee! 💚💙🌿🩵

Awww...💖 the trash Panda at the end! 💖 Racoons, even though they get a bad rap, they are very smart, and play an important role ecologically. Humans have encroached on rheir habitat so, rhey are hungry and just trying to survive like we all are! To all who read this...this fall, when you're done with your pumpkins, gourds, etc., please don't discard them...cut them into quarters, etc. and take them to wooded areas to feed our forest friends! 👍

I used to leave out cat food when I had a friendly stray cat visit me. One evening I heard what sounded like a pig on my porch… In the moonlight I could see that an opossum was enjoying the cat food!

[@stephenritz5581]

My youngest (21) loves opossums. I got her a shirt with a possum on it that said, “Live ugly and fake your death.” She wears it all the time. I’m more of a “Five Pounds of Possum in my Headlights Tonight,” guy. Not really but it’s a funny song.

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hey Renee. You were saved by the Tote Man again. I am so glad you found some cool stuff. The fabric is so amazing . I wonder what is in store for the fabric. What are you going to do with it. Maybe a quilt or pillow cases. That would be neat. I hope you have an amazing weekend Renee. God Bless you sweet heart. Take care. Mari'a. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

I'd grab that book covering one of the surprises of the European Theater..."The Battle of the Bulge"! Lot's of stuff that Tote Man drags around! In the beginning of the tote searching, I saw one of the toys that looked like the famous Kermit?? That honeymoon scrapbook looked quite interesting. Keep History alive and well...although the human race learns little from it!!

[@PaperandMoose]

The Tote Man has to pack it up, but he doesn't have to unload it all, thanks to the flea market buyers! There was a Kermit?? I'll have to go back and look!

Wanted to ad another reply that I know the storm is a bit away from San Fran, but stay safe!

[@agi2711]

I'd bought a lot of the things you showed us! Unfortunately I wasn't able to dig and buy this weekend, cause I sold on two different flea markets and was too busy with protecting myself from the sun.

[@fareast_de]

No FOMO please (fear of missing out), Renée, there´s enough for everyone to dig at this flea market ! 😉 Awesome finds, by the way. 2:45 "Bibliothek der Unterhaltung und des Wissens" (Library of Entertainment and Knowledge) was a very popular book series back in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Honeymoon album was a pretty neat one, good choice. My choice would have also been the "Battle of the Bulge" book, depending on the author. Keep it up, and have a great weekend ! 🌄Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

I didn't even notice the Battle of the Bulge book until I was editing. Crazy how things can be right in front of you & not notice them at all! On a side note, I started translating the typed German letters that I received in the most recent mail video and while my method of translating might not be the quickest, I find that I am remembering more words and can understand some sentences before they translated. Perhaps you could assist in one question - the writer commented on the radio playing old & new hits and followed that with: "und der Reichskanzler steigt vor meinen Augen auf." The letter was dated in March 1947... Hard to imagine that she would be referring to Hitler, considering she was writing to a Holocaust survivor. Could she have been referring to the buildings and/or the "old" Chancellery, or of the "old" Germany before the war? I've only translated about 5 letters so far & this is the only reference made concerning the war (though calling it a reference might be a stretch). Her way of writing that phrase had me picturing her sitting in front of a radio, an older German song playing, and her mind filled with memories. So many questions arose from such a small fragment of a sentence!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose Interesting ! Probably this lady didn´t refer to Admiral Doenitz because he ruled such a short time but to "Him". There were a lot of "keep up songs" in Germany during the war like "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen" or "Davon geht die Welt nicht unter", interpreted by the Swedish singer Zarah Leander. I assume that the lady heard a song like this and remembered this time and also the Reichskanzler (though most folks called him Fuehrer). For me this sounds very obvious because these memories were very fresh just two years after the war ended. Anyways, you got fantastic material for a huge "History Behind The Paper" episode or even a series, can´t wait to hear more about it !

[@PaperandMoose]

@@fareast_de Interesting... I can feel myself already having even more questions once I finish translating all the letters!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose No problem, if there are more questions, don´t hesitate to ask ! 😉

[@deborahfogel3689]

Glad you found the items you did. I would love to see the trapping stuff. Would be interesting. Maybe we need to learn all that stuff again. I read in a farming magazine that they have approved the selling of cell chicken and are now trying how to label it. I may guit eating chicken. Why does man think they can improve what God made?

[@sandragrimm4196]

@ 7:23 Mike Tyson is not the Easton assassin 😂 it’s Larry Holmes! 😂

[@PaperandMoose]

That's why I said "I keep forgetting, I get them mixed up, it even has the E on it." I then said Mike Tyson again, getting them mixed up again, but knew in my brain that it was Larry Holmes.

[@DonVDBorgh]

Good day for ephemera. Get the sewing machine set up yet? You haven't introduced us viewers to it yet, only hear tales of it's existence 😉. Did you figure out what the award/medal was from? 👍👍

[@PaperandMoose]

Shhh… I think most have forgotten about that sewing machine 😬 My current night project is working on translating the German letters I received in the most recent mail video. I’m actually succeeding in translating & understanding, so it has been a journey back to 1947 in Berlin. I feel that my success with the sewing machine would be much less! The medal was a “common” WWII service medal, still collected even though not rare & even better that it was still in its’ case!

[@stephenritz5581]

Hi! My favorite was the yearbook with the loose photos and particularly the one of the man leaning on his early '50s Plymouth, I think. The Honeymoon album should be a good read. It looks they were at some place like my folks went to in 1966.- "Honeymoon Haven" in the Poconos. Heart-shaped beds :). I'm sure the trapping items have a strong collector market. I was a little anxious that there might be one of those spring-loaded metal leg traps at the bottom - set! The video was a great diversion, looking over your shoulder! Have a great Friday afternoon & weekend! (P.S. if you every run across vintage stock car photos in an album meant for you, they are certainly a hot commodity around here in NC and would turn a good profit most anywhere in the South, I would think. But this time they were meant or someone else).

[@PaperandMoose]

I think so many of our parents/grandparents went to one of those “resorts” with the heart shaped beds & the champagne glass bathtubs! Can’t forget the mirrored ceiling either! I believe such one resort in the Poconos is abandoned & now fenced in from trespassers, though a few have gotten in & have made videos on their exploration. I would love to do some of that “urban exploration”, but my problem would be leaving things behind such as paperwork or desks filled with old files. I could only think of the history that is just sitting there! We shall see what the Tote Man has this upcoming flea market day. I missed the last flea market day as I was on a family vacation in Disney, so looking forward to getting back to the flea. Any fun plans for the weekend? Projects, cookouts, sales?

[@stephenritz5581]

@@PaperandMoose Just back from a LeAnne Morgan show (comedian). The Estate Sale scene looks grim for the weekend. I have been to so many the I am starting to recognize different floor plans from different time periods - very few truly old houses down here. The dog and I are batching it for a week. Sunday we have a road trip to Charlotte to pick up a diamond-in--the-rough trunk I found. I have some things to pack & list for eBay and some others to fix & list on CL / MarketPlace. A lot of house chores. But the dog and I will also probably sit around in our boxers and wife beaters and watch some TV. He likes Suits. Look forward to the next Tote Man (or faux Tote Man) video. Hope you enjoyed Disney with your family!

[@Buzz1151]

Hi Miss Moose...I see you picked up that sex book...might be a good read (and a few laughs) 🤣....it must be tough being known as the imposter tote man! haha.. got a new radio video out this morning, and in my Buzz Cinema segment there is my 1968 film where I play a 17year old and an 80 year old!... Holy Moley!

[@PaperandMoose]

Just watched the Buzz Cinema... Loved it! Looks like you were shooting with a sophisticated camera even back then! I knew as soon as the doorbell rang what the plot twist would be :0) Turns out, that book I found might be worth something... well, someone has one up on eBay for a couple hundred. Have to do some reading in it first! Haha

[@deadhorse1391]

That trapping paper was a pretty good find , probably worth more then you think When I was a kid in high school I trapped foxes and raccoons for their pelts, fur prices were high then (1970s) and I did good , made much more then my friends that had newspaper routes I checked my traps on the way to school Used the money I made to buy my first pistol (Ruger .22 auto) and shotgun Savage double barrel 20 gauge which I still have Used to live trap raccoons and sell them to dog trainers too. I didn’t get much at my Friday flea market today, I watched the kids as my girlfriend shopped Have good hopes for tomorrow

[@PaperandMoose]

My uncle actually raised a baby raccoon, and it became one of their favorite pets! It loved to be held, always wanted to be around people, and they even bathed it in a bathtub, which it loved! Hopefully your market is better tomorrow, I wish you good luck treasure hunting!

You misses the rainbow bright doll at the bottom of the sheet tote and you rarely ever pick up the great children,s vintage books😢

[@PaperandMoose]

I don't believe the Rainbow Brite doll of the 80s had those legs - they were hard plastic legs and she never wore shoes like that, plus was missing the iconic rainbow socks. I pick up many vintage kids books, but the price has to be right along with the condition.
