I was the private librarian of the biggest most valuable private library of a gentleman from his 85th until he passed at 92 years. Not even family had access to it. Started at the age of 20 as he was a neighbour. Nobody could stand him but we had great fun. Also grew up with 6 languages and Latin which was needed. As these books are in English they might only achieve a high price in the USA, UK, AUS and other English speaking countries. The real first editions were all in Latin, Italian, French and German. I would definitely ask specialist before you give them to auction. Rudyard Kipling surely has many collectors, maybe even keep it yourself.

[@andywilson33]

I’d like to see those old books get into an auction. All pretty valuable.

[@ednaatluxton4918]

Yous have to go thru that paperwork not garbage. Being in the army highly medalled and a collector I've seen some with secret plans for missions of wwII

[@joshuahoops9430]

Mike that rudyard Kipling book you may want to get looked at if it’s a first edition it could be very valuable like more so that anything you have found in that unit yet

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

I’ll look into it

[@TomTastyTreats]

Cool stuff. Those old newspapers could be worth a sweet penny to, check them before you throw them in the bin. Great locker

[@tinagillhamevans667]

Don’t throw out the old papers and tread on the photos. I am a junk journaller and we pay good money on Etsy for parcels of old papers anything old and yellowed including invoices and ledgers, letters anything handwritten

[@carow6244]

Please dont be so quick to note things as trash if they're not something you know much about. Plans and maps could be worth money depending on the age and area. New subscriber and liking the vids 👍

[@Virtue740097]

That storage locker has a story to tell you.

[@simplyme8593]

Lovely comment. I though the same.

[@kristycameron9113]

Loving this series 😍 you guys are awesome together

[@cheryldavison9759]

I read somewhere that all the strads ever made are accounted for,they kept records of all the ones they made and it said that they are all there,but i guess you never know?

[@eege742]

The Mandolin with butterfly and mother of pearl inlays is from Taco Instruments Nr. 16501 (vintage). 60cm (23 3/4 inch) length of BODY and 31cm (12 1/4 inch) length of NECK.Your Mandolin can of course be shorter or longer.

[@freedomrings5270]

That is a Larson Bros Traditional Mandolin and Fiddle.... worth $3,000.00 PLUS

[@susanmccaskill3268]

The mandolin actually looks like a type of lute called oud. They are very expensive.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@dcdcdcdcd522]

Oud is from iraq so think so you Arabian are you?

[@rikspector]

Mike and Jack, You obviously didn't read my message about violins and violin bows. You will not find a Strad but there are a lot of excellent instruments out there, including the Strad copy. It depends on the maker and the overall quality. You probably won't read this but I just wanted to let you know. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Read you loud and clear mister !

[@VoklstWestie]

I concur!!!

[@ms.michealhodge1243]

I wish I was healthy enough to come down there and do a ton of research and sorting!!! I crazy like that!😉😃 Can't wait till the next video!!!

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@jeneaneherzog4626]

Don't forget to check the bows!!! Sometimes they're worth more than the violins!!!

[@haroldfrost9699]

You should look at what those plans were for.

[@M.ldesign]

I love that job really every time watching your video

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you i love you

[@jamesarnett4129]

The coors beer bottle was made as a limited addision to be sold in Colorado baseball park. They made it for a very short time. Such a demand it sold in gro stores also. Should have a #15 on bottom thats Henryetta oklahoma made 96-97. I believe I heard you say this box goes in trash.

[@miguelcotrich7139]

God bless you and your family and another great video and thanks for sharing and keep them great videos coming and this unit is amazing great stuff man and I send you and your love ones lots of blessings always and stay bless

[@charlestusin274]

Make sure you have the old bows checked out. I saw once where the violin was worth $5000, but the bow was worth $8000.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

I’m gonna look into it

[@lahabracali]

Southern Indiana is watching.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️❤️

[@MSGsTreasures]

I enjoy watching when you and Jack team up. I guess I'm a pirate nut

[@wendyladd1183]

Pirate and locker nuts if the books are as old as they appear go online and search antique book dealers the instruments get in touch with Auction houses in NY LIKE SOTHEBY

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@wendyladd1183]

You are quite welcome

[@fredstocking3812]

Bows are sometimes worth more than the violin.

[@barbarianleatherandblades8686]

That's a Mandolin and depending on maker like every instrument can be quite valuable.

[@pabloginesalsinaozuna4372]

Amazing all that you find in this unit.

[@toddyb1525]

Always proud of you Brother Pirate

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️❤️

[@blund3rgaming605]

you should have wore some gloves before touching something old because it might cause some damages and might affect the value of the stuff(old books).

[@glendadalejones3753]

I’m honestly hooked so exciting . Exceptional videos n this unit you guys bought 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@balisteri8]

Ok, I heard it on the last video too. What are you calling all the paper and stuff in the boxes? Femrah?

[@jackwall697]

Ephemera. Scrapbookers and Collage makers buy ephemera and make cool art pieces that tell a story about a particular period in time. Photos from the same year, advertising from the same year, pamphlets from the same decade, etc. Even newspaper articles about the same subject matter. That is what ephemera basically is.

[@davidcampbell64]

Some of those books could be worth thousands, especially the Kipling book, really hope there is an update on them?

[@ronaupton9328]

Wow what an amazing locker. So interesting x

[@airpacekul8784]

I think you should check the bows, they may be worth more than the violins.

[@dianegreen6635]

This is getting good !! Hope big $$$$ for the music instruments.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you Diane

[@eege742]

Mandolin Nr. 16501 by Tasco Instruments. I made another note on top.

[@jackiechapman8189]

Nice hit with those violins Pirate and Jack... The copy Stradivarius Creamitory can be worth hay stacks $$... The first 🎻 violin you found is certainly valuable and collectable and the other is in playing condition it's really nice... Well done guys... Stay safe homie...👍💕🔥⚾😷

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@ZaigonTiger]

You Rock Pirate!!

[@joshuahoops9430]

Dude this unit wow amazing

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️❤️

[@ednaatluxton4918]

I can't believe you shook those fiddles. Some parts are fragile. My 85 year old dad rebuilds them and repairs them. He has a few. He inherited an 1800 s one good maker from a friend pro player but it's not worth as much as you think. Prices are if in mint which most are repaired with modern parts and finish. Has to be a professional restoration but still would bring down cost on a really old 1800s

[@ramonbustamante3870]

The book that you were checking at the 9:00 minute of your video that you say it does"t have a date, actually it does. In Roman numbers M DCC XXXIX Date 1739. Excellent finds!

[@ramonbustamante3870]

my bad, actually is 1789

[@ramonbustamante3870]

NO, No No.... It is 1739 100% positive.

[@justintimeflipping]

My buddy’s biggest homerun was a violin...most are overlooked..

[@Morney570715]

I enjoy watching your videos.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@davidmccleary5540]

Hopefully you won't leave us in the dark about all of the old books. They are fascinating and I hope you make a bundle on them

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

I’m am gonna do full recap of this storage from both videos like one big reveal of it laid out befor we sell etc etc

[@eege742]

Storage Auction Pirate : Thank you dearly!

[@cindysemblante4411]

Pirate you make me smile.”that’s almost cool”😂

[@terrybarrett6785]

That's REALLY Cool.

[@carltona6429]

Sorry for not posting this before, but that Italian violin could be very old which would explain the condition. There is an Italian violin maker with the first name of Lorenzo, I can't remember his last name, but some of his violins have sold for upwards of $60k plus. I think they were from the mid to late 1700s.. and with the horse hair bow, it just seems to fit the time period. Another great score guys 👍👍👍 stay safe and God Bless 🙏

[@leahgagliardo3307]

Love to fine old books,never found first additions, but I just like reading them and having them on display . Any old book that has biblical illustrations in it is usually worth something, despite it not being a first edition

[@spencer1280]

James Pepper Rare Books - email them asap about those books

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Ok

[@eege742]

Thank you! (Former private librarian)

[@davejordan7867]

Get that violin restored! For a couple hundred bucks you can double its value.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Gonna look into it

[@yvonnebrumbeloe6626]

Again sure would love all your trash bags of stuff !!

[@Lonnascalif]

1694 book, WOOOOW

[@davidhullinger3636]

It’s a bowl back mandolin keep looking it could be worth something or maybe he bought it to fix it up. The mandolin is strung like a violin and a lot of violin players also play mandolin. Maybe he was a violin player who found a mandolin and was going to have it fixed up.

[@khanfarazahmad]

Real treasure buddy

[@sylviebergeron7429]

PLEASE do not try gluing the mother of pearl pieces onto the oud! Let a professional do it!!!

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

lol can you imagine me and jack doing that

Is the first string piece a Viola?

I am unsure

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@maddog6191]

Love the mother of pearl mandolin if it is made from turtle shell you can't sell it

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️

[@eege742]

Can be sold if pre 1900 - like ivory too.

[@-2776]

I think the round guitar is the "wood" Arabic instrument.

[@todddavis5374]

Check the West point books... If someone went on to be famous.. Can be very collectable

[@juliegraham8133]

Rudyard Kipling's only son was killed in the first world war. Tragic!😣😊Mike, Google the poem If by him. "If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs" etc. It is your life in a poem, may become your new mantra. Best wishes, great unit.😊🤗

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️❤️

[@juliegraham8133]

@@StorageAuctionPirate Thank you. In general if books are old, in good condition and rare they are more collectable and valuable. Others have mentioned first editions, look to see if there is just one original date on the first page. But having the paper cover ie fly leaf can help value. Illuminated manuscripts(with beautiful hand painted decoration) can fetch huge sums. Wishing you good luck with your finds.😊

[@charlestusin274]

Those books are going to be a gold mine. Do you have a Baumans Rare Book store in your area? Have them checked out. Be very careful with them.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

I’ll have to look into it

[@entreadapt]

Dont underestimate the copy's of Stradivarius some of the really good ones made in germany can still be worth thousands.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

I’m having them looked at

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

That maker's copies seem to be in the $300-500 range, for the most part.

[@entreadapt]

vinyl1Earthlink some of the newer ones yes but some of they copy’s made 100 years ago still bring a lot of money.

[@teresabowen3317]

Look for 1st edition 1st print on books 😁🇺🇸

[@cdoggyish]

Anyone know if Jack has said when he's going to post any videos? He only posted the first one. Pirate, you need to contact real appraisers on the instruments. Ones that are associated with the big auction houses are very reliable! The books marked volume 1 could possibly be 1st editions! If they are you can kiss Jack!

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

He will have one out tomrorow chris we have had a busy week he hasn’t had time i sleep less then him .

[@maddog6191]

The mother of pearl Mandolin got to about a few thousand as is be careful with it

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

What would make it worth that?

[@eege742]

Tasco Instruments Nr. 16501 : price depends on how many were manufactured. It is in a very good shape except from very minor repairs of mother of pearl.

[@anonymous-sus406]

5:42 i think thats a mandolin

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

❤️

[@wendyladd1183]

Everybody's heard of Stradivarius but there were some makers who sellfor just as much check a movie currently available on you tube called the red violin Sam L Jackson stars in and a personal fave of mine its about a rare violin

[@elmermoyer2]

Yo pirate don't underestimate the bows to those violence they could be worth money also

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thank you

[@okigaff]

Sometimes the bow can be worth more than the violin. Even with the messed up horse hair!

[@janekollman4938]

Agree with the bow can be worth more than the violin.. pirate please take time to have them looked at !! 😊. Hope you and Jack hit the big one this time !!!

[@maddog6191]

Look out for 5000 leagues under the sea first edition is good The 1st edition of The Jungle Book can be $20000

Thank you

[@Cherokeelittlebird]

You should take all the books to a appraiser

[@VoklstWestie]

You are not even inspecting the bows????? Many times they are worth more than the violins they are with.

@@cheryldavison9759 - Why do you think antique dealers go to flea markets? The pickers who buy storage units usually don't know much about many of the things they find. Pirate is an exception.
