Some of My Most Amazing Thrift Store Finds!

[@pamseclecticplace709]

I don't collect fruit or veggie items but I absolutely would have picked up the lamp. I love it!

[@markie10ful]

[@caridimarzio8804]

[@babausa6010]

[@carolm3468]

That was fun! That fruit lamp is wonderfully tacky! Thank you for enlightening me! Also, I know what you mean by the locked glass case with random overpriced items!

[@janupczak5059]

Oh please, do NOT ditch that backdrop. It just lends such atmosphere and ambiance. Everything you showed us today is amazing. I can't even choose a favorite... My thrift shops are all full of junk that we refer to as "Ed's Stuff". (As in Cousin Eddie, Ed Norton, Ed Gein 😱...) And not in a cool way! Anyway, you have once again made the day better, brighter, and a lot more fun. For some reason, the dancing gals on the Butterick pattern just make me laugh out loud! Thanks Scott...❤

How about Crazy Eddie? Do you remember those ads?

Wowza on that fruit lamp. It isn't really my style, but it is definitely cool. I would probably keep it too.

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

WOW, I never heard a wine glass or crystal sound like that before. I would hold on to the high dollar stuff.

[@judewishedhimselfout]

THAT JEWELRY BOX!!!!!!!! WOW!

[@livingthegoodlifechannel]

Hi Scott. That 19th century jewelry box is beautiful. The marquetry inlay is just lovely. It makes a bold statement. I wish that you had found a secret compartment!! I can't believe that you are willing to let it go. Congrats on the Quezal. I've never found any of the old art glass.....YET. I am still hopeful!! : )

How serendipitous. I was actually looking at a stemmed custard cup earlier today that I was trying to date. It's always had me stumped because it rings like a bell but "feels" much older than any of my etched crystal pieces. After seeing your piece, I wonder if my pieces are flint glass. Just how do you tell the difference?

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Old flit glass is usually found in little wine stems and is hand blown. The piece will show the inconsistencies and charm of hand blown glass.

[@whatanitemare]

@@oldcuriosityshop265 Hand blown - check. Ground pontil - check It's those inconsistencies you mention that I mean when I say it "feels" older. Thanks for the quick reply and the education.

Love the Flint glass and the tobacco barrel. Once I found a whale oil lamp in a thrift store for $1! And I found a circa 1820s silver sugar bowl for a quarter at a garage sale. ( I remember that it was 25 cents because it was the last thing I bought that day and I was looking under the car mats for enough change to buy it) It sold on Ebay for over $400 about 15 years ago. I had no idea it was that valuable. Those were the days when people knew antiques and appreciated them. I love true antiques the early 1800s are my favorite before everything got so gaudy in the Victorian era.

[@pipersmith1531]

The fruit basket lamp, ❤️❤️❤️!

[@sevenbells96]

OMG Scott, you're a true historian. The backdrop is gorgeous and the Checzasolovia lamp is a magnificent basket of summertime. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!

[@Dotlikesred]

Hi Scott! I like the fancy backdrop and I like seeing you all dressed up. I hope your mom is watching 😊 Incredible items. Were you saying the lovely coffee server would have a metal lining placed in the porcelain? Just curious. I hope you keep the Czech lamp. Amazing.

[@antoinettenora9446]

Scott, I was your 9th subscriber. I've been with you a long time.. well on my personal channel. This is my content channel. I finally went to your Ebay to see what you have for sale. Your store is nearly empty. Is there a different store?

[@seeseebee3214]

I loved the backdrop! Very glamorous. Much needed during this quarantine! Thank you very much.

[@maryhobbs4183]

I love your enthusiasm....I have a love of vintage but unfortunately don't have much space. Love your old house. I collect smalls because of this. Jewelry, scarves, small porcelain objects, some dishes, glass and pottery. We don't get as much old things here in Redmond WA as you have there. But maybe you are better at finding it. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

[@bookbwitched466]

I guess I'll take the ancestors test I received for Christmas. I love LOVE lamps. Ambient Light pooling across the floor, softening the corners... I detest ceiling lights preferring to have lots of task lighting in floor, swag, and all manner of ambient lamps. My favorite is cracked glass~I put a clear crackle globe over a squaty electric candle in a iron basket compote with a ton of glass fruit heavy on the grapes. It lives on the fridge and its light spills across every surface. Refracked light from the globe swirls up even the ceiling. Scott, I KNEW your lamp. I had an overwhelming thrill~the kind a certain song gives you, like Ellen Green going full voice in Suddenly Seymore. The first time I heard Les Misérables in person. Since I have seen your counter space and the lamp isn't there...tomorrow I'll be thrilled there is a magical lamp like that in the world. Today. Well. I'm gobsmacked.

[@jeanined9060]

Hi Scott! I think your backdrop is lovely and you should keep it until you sell the fabric! My favorite pieces were those gorgeous glass lampshades (since I’m a glassworker, that figures, right?! ) and that stunning jewelry box! Oh man, that was the first time in a very long time that I said to myself, “I want that!” Not that I can afford it, but it is absolutely beautiful! All of your pieces are, those were just my favorites today. Thank you so much, once again, for sharing with us, keeping us educated and entertained. You are awesome! Best wishes to you.

[@elizabethmorgan668]

That is not a jewelry box it’s a tea caddy. Very old.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I’ve seen many tea caddys over the years and I almost always find the interiors lined in tin or some type of foil or just natural wood. This small chest has it’s original interior completely lined in velvet with a nice “deep” pile. Also, the number and various sizes to the drawers would suggest a jewelry chest. Also on tea caddys I often see interior wooden lids covering the deep individual compartments designed to hold the different teas. I’d love to know your thoughts that lead you towards tea caddy? I’m a coffee drinker but still love a nice cup of tea! 🙂

[@elizabethmorgan668]

The Old Curiosity Shop Hi! Well, because of the side doors which would hold some sort of glass. Also regency period decanters and tea caddy were lined with velvet to protect the glass, porcelain, and/or silver teaspoons. Seems too large to the time period for jewelry, and wrong configuration. But it could have been a commissioned piece. Who knows!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I was totally thinking a possible commissioned piece as well! Maybe I'll show it again in the next video with more of a close up.

[@marymiller7785]

Thanks for sharing, love to see what you dig up in your travels. Best, a fan, Carol

[@timeflies72]

I like your variety of interesting backgrounds. Well, I watched The Bastard, and The Rebels (1979) today, which had terrible non-period details.

The fruit lamp is very pretty.
