Season Opener - Flea Market Finds!

The local flea market opened for the season... good pickings on opening day!

[@julesiou12]

I love your finds, especially the linen box. It's nice to see someone who loves photos that would otherwise be thrown. I don't understand families that throw them away. It's their history. Thanks for sharing x

[@justjean222]

So much fun to watch your excitement when you find something neat! Thank you so much for taking us along to the Flea Market and sharing your finds. ❤️

[@fishandpeppers4643]

The bug and rat killer tins as Holloween decor is GENIUS.

[@mbar8111]

Love the Flea Market video's... Keep them coming! Great job!

[@gretchenarrant8334]

When my dad was overseas at the end of the war, he had my mom's name on his jeep. The Martha Mae! I have a picture of it somewhere. I thought that was really something!! Always enjoy the videos. I must have missed this one since it is January 2020!! I love anything WWII, cause I was born in 1944! I just love that period of history.

[@karlatullos2193]

So enjoyable to watch your authentic reactions to awesome finds . . . Love your channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dorothybennett6596]

What great fines. Gets better and better. Thank you

[@susanhagen9505]

I love that picture frame that was on that wedding picture

[@tfntexas]

You find some really great stuff...I love the military photos and that one of all the guys in their swim trunks!

[@faysalkus1083]

You are girl after my heart. I was born 1952 and my family photos look like the ones you appreciate. I have a few photos of my dad during WWII in his uniform. Love all the great memorabilia.

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad that you still have the photographs! Priceless memories!

[@faysalkus1083]

@@PaperandMoose I scanned all my mom's pictures so each of my 4 sisters have digital copies of all the pictures.

Nice finds and you found our buddy Taco in the process lol!! Thanks for sharing!!

Mouse out of metal parts is just to cute! Fabulous finds!!

[@Kitty-wb1kf]

Great finds! Love looking through old photos.

[@jmfrmr]

OMG live in BC where the strings were made! Saw my first cockroach living in Hawaii. Those buggers are hard to kill

[@margaretnagel1954]

Enjoyed your video, love looking through things too and finding treasures. I too like the older vintage wares rather than the new. Can't wait to see more adventures with you

[@SunshineAlwayssassy]

OK I'M FREAKING OUT!! SO STRANGE...THAT PICTURE YOU HAVE OF THE SOLDIERS JUST TURNED UP IN A MOVIE I'M WATCHING

[@jennilang721]

Your intro w the flea market advice, is an analogy/ mantra for life. 👍Look for the treasures, don't rush, enjoy the ride.🤗

[@NestingHaven]

Such great items! We have similar taste! The linen box was very cool! Love all the old photographs.

[@catherineoas3764]

I found linen and embroidered items in my grandpas attic when our family moved to his cherry and apple farm, in Paw Paw Michigan. It was 1970, I was beginning high school and I went on to two degrees at The University of Michigan. It amuses me and at the same time terrifies me that I'm where my grandpa oas was now. Thanks for this channel!!

[@raquelburt9628]

Love the linen table runner. 💜

[@njther2649]

I buy and sell a lot of hard goods. Love the hunt of flea markets, garage and estate sales. Learned about your channel from Taco Stacks. This weekend I purchased my first ephemera. A box of old post card/letters/holiday cards and an album filled with pictures from a farm family...I believe the pictures range from 1910s through the 1950s. I love the stories these pictures tell and the box of material is from the same family. Had fun sitting down with the kids and exploring the items Enjoying your channel and it is extremely relaxing to listen to...lol. Keep up the good work and thank you for the videos.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for watching! The photo album sounds like a great find, especially if they show farm scenes.

[@cyndiduncan7795]

Omg! I love the vintage photos. I'm an artist and love to use instant ancestors in my artwork.

[@garyw5211]

Sorry I didn’t recognize you.I have never seen you shopping before only selling up by taco.I hope you setup soon because you always have interesting items and I like buying from you.I have a booth in Allentown at cottage antiques and crafts (R-30) with lots and lots of old tins,primatives,ect.If you get over that way check it out.And your unknown item is a pineapple eye remover.Take care.

[@trollope53]

Love all your finds, but especially the paper.

So jealous of those great finds. Love the video

Great finds! Thanks for sharing!

I love digging for smalls as well. Nice finds :)

[@lynnmk2384]

Very nice finds

[@susanhagen9505]

That’s so beautiful

[@crystalwaters7081]

Hi, P&M! Love the Tins...those were one off finds I'm sure. Great that the fleas are opening, I love how you really search though those junk boxes, I would have grabbed that bottle opener and that ring, those looked cool too! Love all of the paper and photos you picked as well! 🐰🐰🌹🐰🐰

[@sharonnowlin2297]

When I was still able to sell outdoors at our flea market, I always went around before I put my stuff out to look for treasures ... then at the end of the day, I went around again and it was amazing how much amazing stuff that I found that people had just overlooked!!! You found lots of great items!!

[@PaperandMoose]

One market day, that’s my plan: Get there when people are setting up & stay the entire day, just going back & looking over everything. This spring that is a must!

[@sharonnowlin2297]

@@PaperandMoose Sounds like a wonderful plan to me!!!

Look in that little square tunnel plastic box type thing you will see a picture. From the late 80s

[@debideanna7808]

Had to stop the video in the middle to comment on that vtg runner. Love it! Wow!!!!

[@lauriedorrell6436]

Thanks for a great video!

[@eddya.3776]

So jealous, I wanna go through all that stuff. I could dig through stuff like that all day. Hopefully one day you'll find an old photo of Jesse James or Wyatt Earp or something like that.

[@PaperandMoose]

That would be amazing! One can dream!

[@margaretrose8105]

Great stuff..

[@alexmeredith9973]

Very cool. I collect old negatives. Glass and film. 1890s-1940's

[@nascarmommam5915]

You found some nice items. Enjoyed the trip. ~ Texas

[@larryboysen5911]

Always enjoy finding treasures...most of my stuff comes from estate sales, "junk" stores and "thrift shops, although vintage things around here [San Francisco] are getting harder to find. Ikea and Potty Barn are taking over. Sure glad I started my collections back in the 1960's! Keep up the good work...nice to see a young lady with your vintage interests. Women like you are rare in the big city...if it does not beep, show instant info. or play games [video, that is] they have no interest. One lady I invited over to my home reacted with... "why do you keep so much old stuff around?" Needless to say she was never invited back again! My collections are neat, organized and in their place...not in hoarder style. All are part of our historical heritage!

[@alfredwallace8201]

Very interesting! I work in the regulatory sector that manages pesticides in my state. I'm curious what the active ingredients are in those pesticides. The dust could be DDT? The very famous insecticide that was the inspiration to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. Definitely be careful with those, just in case. They may be technically illegal to sell/own and probably definitely illegal to "apply". Maybe would be okay to dump in the trash. Anyway, all that said, I probably would have definitely bought them. They are super cool!

[@hillbillypicker2232]

The Copley Coffee tin might sell good on eBay. For a dollar it would have been worth a shot.I like going through the flea markets with you and all your treasures. Allot of that stuff will sell good on eBay.I like your flea market, rummage sales, auction and trash picking videos.

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

i love the old pictures!

[@tradergeo6047]

Wow up to over 4K subscribers! Keep up the good work. Your finds are always so interesting

[@librarianleesa]

I love how you save the discarded photos and ephemera of people who are strangers to you. Your preservation allows them to live on. Are you an archivist? I am a public librarian (with a duel master's in library science and archival studies)

[@PaperandMoose]

An archivist of sorts, I guess you could say. My full time job is in records management, but my background is in history & WWII studies. I have and currently do volunteer at historic sites where I perform historic research and help to organize collections.

[@shellytarbet3677]

Yasssss a new video!!!

[@cordiscoscorner]

Great video. I see your have almost 4,000 subs. GOOD WORK !!!!!

[@MD-wk3gj]

🤔 What a cool idea 💡 to use those tins as Halloween 👻 🎃 decorations.

[@laurahopwood3332]

You had a great day at the flea, wish we had fleas like that around here. Ours are mostly new things.

[@jfretless]

Found you through Taco Stacks... Still can't believe why people discard photographs and family history. Sad. Really. Thanks for doing what you do!

WOW . . . never thought I'd see a can of J-O roach killer again . . . it was my father's go-to weapon of mass destruction for roaches . . . I have flashbacks of minefields of J-O buttered potatoes strategically deployed around the cellar floor.

"eyes" were actually his ears, with his snout extending beyond. Really cute. Great haul.

2:51 anybody notice the dixie cups. How strange the exact box was in taco's video. I would use the pink bunny as a toothbrush holder.

[@wellarmedwife166]

The linens !!!!! Be still my heart

[@samanthab1923]

well armed wife Such a different time. My mother never set our dinning room table without pads & linen or lace tablecloths. Sometimes the leaf put in. Everything kept in the china cabinet.

[@susanhagen9505]

I hope you kept that thing that looked like a ring , it was really nice

Super cool tins 👍

[@kbdoor4415]

I would think that vintage thread would be a quick sale to the needle work experts, many of whom are right here on KZbin. Example, Stitcherista

[@Marie-ts8rp]

Great paper finds wow I am new to this genre. So fun!! I cant wait to find that stuff. Its good to know there are sellers there who dont sift thru everything & who dont sell online. So far all the antique malls here rarely have paper & if so is very $$$

[@PaperandMoose]

Once you frequent a flea market, you realize where the sellers get their inventory from and learn what they specialize in & what they look through/don't look through. Antique malls are hard to find good deals at, but sometimes you come across decent prices!

[@karencogs1]

My father in-law was a Sea Bee, and we have a lot of military pictures and cool things from his service in WW2. Such treasures!

[@SECONDHANDUSA]

awesome haul! I LOVE finding vintage linens. I mostly find them at goodwill outlet the bins :) I would've scooped up the same stuff what you've got :)))

[@StevesFunAdventures]

Good video thank you

[@jaypaster8244]

Congrats on 4k. 😀

[@superhet7281]

Still catching up on your videos. I really liked the military photos. The B-24 Liberator was the most widely produced bomber of WW2. Ford’s Willow Run plant could build one every hour!

[@holly5791]

Such cool stuff you find. I like that you are preserving someone’s memories...sad that they didn’t. I love old tins and advertising. The embroidery is nice, too, and you could actually use it. I’m currently trying to decide how to preserve the embroidery and crochet that has been passed down through my family. I have sons and they could care less about it. Some good instructions on how to care for it...using Ivory soap. You don’t ever actually wash (as in washing machine), old needlework. I put mine in a large dish pan with some OxyClean and gently move the piece around and mostly just let it sit and soak. Rinse gently, but thoroughly. Let it lie flat on a towel and air dry. I have done this for years with good success. Good luck with your research. I enjoy the videos when you come back and share the history of your finds. 😊👍🏻

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for the detailed method of cleaning old linens! I'm sure that many will be able to use this information (and I'll have to bookmark it myself for future use!)

[@holly5791]

You’re welcome. I hope you are right. I would hate for someone to ruin their grandmother’s much loved needlework by throwing it in the washer. 😉

So many cool finds love the old tins and the Victorian cards. and $1 per tin is so cheep too, i would of brought so many, did love the ovaltine tin you showed, but didn't end up getting.

[@PaperandMoose]

I did like the Ovaltine too, but put it back... now I'm wondering why! Haha

[@pamwerren1458]

Hi, I'm loving what you share with us...thank you. You mentioned "tray cards" amongst your box of finds....can I ask what is a tray card? Thanks, Pam

[@mbueno9960]

Oh nice finds! Love your videos. The scissors/scoop thing is a vintage kitchen tool for snipping out pineapple eyes. You can find them for sale on eBay.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you! I've never seen one of these before (obviously). Thanks for the info!

[@robinfisher7287]

[@LoveAsianCulture]

Wayne D no she's not eccentric. She's the opposite. She's lovely and seems very kind, not pushy and loud like eccentrics are

[@LynneWright]

If you get a good scanner you can scan and copy faded photos and darken the digital image which usually restores what’s missing. Ive had good success in the past.

[@Paula_KentuckyRed]

Really nice items. I would get so lost in the paper and embroidery . I have always been the keeper in the family and it's so sad, I have no one to leave it to. It will probably en up in a flea market once I'm gone.

[@PaperandMoose]

Well, the positive aspect of anything going to the flea market is that others will get to enjoy the hunt to find it and treasure it just as you did.

Just wondering if you would put some sort of sealant on the paper labels on the cans to preserve them? Love the video! New subscriber, just catching up on all your videos!

[@PaperandMoose]

I'll have to look into what would be best for the paper labels. I'm careful when I put them away after displaying them, but would like to make sure they stay all put together for years to come. Hope you enjoy the other videos!
