I so enjoyed your tour of the Czech community as both my sets of grandparents migrated for Czechoslovakia via the Galveston, Texas ports when entering the county. Our family has numerous antique pieces that were from our grandparents. I was brought up in a Czech home with many family gatherings and lots of Czech food. My Dad and aunts and uncles would actually make their own kielbasa at our house just like their parents did. Love Check dolls as I have several that were given to me as a child and can't forget all of the quilts that I have from my ancestors. You are so informative and love watching your video!👍🏻😀❤

Good evening, George! There was a painting of an egret in flight, on the wall with the calendar, that I liked. That R S Prussia bowl was really pretty. My favourite R S Prussia pieces are the "Reflecting Waterlilies" on the icicle mold. I actually have that beehive S & P set, and I have a set that didn't come with the holder. Both sets are made in Occupied Japan. I like beehive items. Years ago, my dad was a beekeeper. Loved that crucifix! I have a substantial collection of them, and that one would make a great addition. I have a Czech glass pitcher and tumblers that are ruby cut to amber. It has oak leaves and acorns on it, and I really like it. That carved mirror is fantastic! I have my granddad's spray duster from the 1940s...and still use it. That Victorian dresser, with the side mirrors and doored compartments, was nice and interesting. Loved that ruby decanter with the four stems! At $169.00...it would've likely come home with me. Sounds like you needed a little Febreeze in that basement🤢😆 There were a lot of things there that caught my eye. Thanks for the take-along!!!

There is a lot of Czech influence in this region of Iowa. Dvorak (Czech composer) spent a summer in Spillville, IA, in 1893, about an hour and a half north of there, and there is a lot of Czech ancestry. I live about 2 hours north of Cedar Rapids, so you were close! And as always, I learned so much. You are a true gift to so many communities -- antiquers, collectors, resellers, etc. TY so much for your kind, generous spirit!

Always used to speak in Czech when they didn't want the grandkids to know what they were saying. Ha! Ha!

I've been to a lot of those stores so it was really fun to hear your take on things! Thanks! If you ever get around Spillville, IA, they have Bily Clocks that might interest you.
