Trust me, we do understand & appreciate George's knowledge, and we can't help but be kinda proud of the guy when new folks visit the channel and quickly comment that he really knows his stuff.

Hey George!! I love your videos!! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am from Kanawha County in WV. Born there and lived there for 40 years. One note: Kanawha is pronounced Ku-naw. 2 syllables. Just look on KZbin for a news story in Kanawha County and you will hear the news caster pronounce it. Much love to you!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I will have to do that! I keep getting different pronunciations from different people

[@Katherine-cf7rj]

I so enjoyed this adventure! Thank you, George!

[@dankrol6689]

You see why I always like reading your comments, because it makes a great sense of humor, I will love to know more about you if you don't mind, how are you doing today….?

[@nancieholmes4953]

Thank you, George. I'm only 3 hours south of Cedar Rapids Iowa and wasn't aware of the different cultural areas in the town. Good weekend antique trip for me. Thank you for taking us on a tour of the USA on you web site. Like many others in our farming area, my family didn't take vacations. I was born in 1945, and life was a struggle to rebuild the farms after the depression .

[@deloreslowndes762]

I'm binge watching your videos today.

[@Mommabirdvtg]

Interesting highlight of the Slovak heritage in the antique world. Never have seen that before. Loved it.

[@junkinhertrunk-dianak]

Yup George you were 35 miles south of where I live !! John and I live in Albert Lea, MN which is on the MN/IA border. Intersects interstates 35 and 90. Manly is 35 ish miles south of us! Informative video as always!! Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰

I am so sorry I couldn't get up there! It's sort of on the way though so there's future potential

If I end up in a place that stinks, I'm always worried about how much is going to jump on my clothes and leave with me! Fab. show George, as always.

My sister and I were born in Council Bluffs Iowa. We used to visit there once a year. Most of my relatives have since left Council Bluffs, so we haven't visited for a couple years. It sure brings back a lot of memories for me.

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!👍🏻😀❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That is so neat! I was excited to go somewhere that the antique and vintage items matched the local history

[@kellymyerson29]

You're so much more comfortable in your videos now it's awesome!!! I hope for you to someday find something larger to haul Treasures

Looking forward to this one - I am a true Boho girl!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Well, it might be more roots of Boho, but there you have it!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

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!!!

[@BohemiaGirl331]

Loved the video. While my husband worked for Vaclav Havel in the early 90s, I was sourcing perfumes for resale is US. Antique shops in Prague then were FABULOUS

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It still has a lot of good things!

Thanks George another fun video oh and my grandmother's name was Gertrude Rasstater she was a strong gal!❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I bet! That's a strong name for a strong person

Your videos are always such a joy to watch. The added genealogy bonus at the end was the cherry on top (my 2 passions are old objects and old ancestors!). Thanks for the fun.

[@treasurepedlar]

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!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's fascinating about Dvorak going there! I was fascinated to find out about the Czech heritage there, I knew Ukrainians settled in Kansas and in the Canadian Prairies for similar reasons. You are very nice to speak so kindly of me and thanks!

Really enjoyed this visit to Iowa. Both my parents are from Iowa and I was born in Davenport. Moved to St. Louis at 12. Also lived in Princeton and Eddyville ky. Thank you for sharing your visit

[@twistoffate4791]

Your comment caught my eye because my dad was born & raised in Atlantic, Iowa, if you've ever heard of it. Some of the best people are from Iowa, in my own personal experience.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Small world! I was just in Eddyville and Princeton today.

I have been here! I actually stopped to these stores in on my way to Jeffrey’s when I got to meet you.

I am impressed that Manly, Iowa, has a blue water tower instead of the common white.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

True!

[@OriginalNethead]

I just hooked a local dealer up with a friend whose late MiL had a TON of Fenton. Recent stuff - she liked TV shopping channels, but even so. The daughter in-law came up from South Carolina to start cleaning out the house. I couldn't in good conscience actually buy the stuff myself, but could tell her what to do with a lot of it.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Even so! Some of those were well made and are well received. I'm glad you could steer her to someone legit!

[@zulemaalamo4863]

That was interesting. My X and his family are from Cedar Rapids. We married in a little town right next to their. I briefly lived there but I didn't get to see much. I love little town's so getting a little history of your dad's family was nice. I was born in suburbs of Chicago but moved when I was 19. Spent most of my adult life in Kansas and Kentucky. I currently live in Florida. All the places you mention and live yourself! Thank you for all the knowledge you share. Oh...... I'm bohemian and I appreciate you mentioning the country....... Bohemia ❣️

[@jackie9834]

@@TheAntiqueNomad my family came to the USA before Bohemia was no longer. My great great grandma came with her 3 youngest. My great grandfather was the oldest children and the 2 younger were his sister's. My great great grandfather stayed behind because the 2 oldest boy's had been drafted into the war. My great great grandma left with the 3 youngest before my great grandfather was old enough to also be drafted. I love knowing some of my family history. I love you sharing so much history ❣️

Hi George! I'm from NE Iowa & 1/2 Czech. My grandparents were from Protivin, IA. They lived on a farm between Cresco & Protivin. Always used to speak in Czech when they didn't want the grandkids to know what they were saying. Ha! Ha! I think the smelly basement may be leftover from a flood that they had in CR maybe 10 years ago...I'm really bad with dates. 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. It's on the web if you want to see some pictures.

Hi George. I’m still laughing about the basement. Haven’t we all been there. Good times.

I don't suppose you remember how much they were asking for the nouveau (repro) card receiving tray @16:08 do you? I have 2, bought one for myself new in the early 80's from a catalog because it was SO my style and a friend bought me the same thing for a gift. I love them so much, i have kept them both. Just curious what people are asking for them.

[@twistoffate4791]

You have a good friend! I think it's cool that your friend bought you something she knew was your passion, rather than just any old thing. That's heart.

I think $35-45 if I recall right

You found some awesome stuff as always, but the Czech element was especially interesting. That Hall cake carrier made me laugh because I have a big bowl in that pattern -- except it has no flowers at all, just the black leaves. Someone in a great pottery FB group explained that it was the red poppy pattern and the actual poppies must have come off in the dishwasher. Whoops!

[@terrystexastreasures6809]

Besides a possible dead animal in the walks, I wonder if the basement has a mold problem, hiding under the floor coverings. Did you mention the strong odor to the staff?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It was so unmistakable that I know they've been told by other customers, it's beyond belief

[@natsomething0]

It's pronounced "ku NAW uh". :-) Safe travels, as always!

[@lauramoonwoman]

having spent a lot of time in WV I have been wondering how long it would take someone to call the resellers on their pronunciation of this. and Tone all ah was right after that! someone farther down in the comments is saying it only has 2 syllables. I don't remember that being true. I remember it your way. or ka NA wah.

[@natsomething0]

@@lauramoonwoman I grew up near the WV/KY border so the Kanawha River was always prominent in the news, even in our area. I've never heard a two-syllable version, either. lol I figured George would appreciate the correction since he does seem to run across that maker quite often in his travels.

I feel like the Blue Mountain pottery is very boring. Love the Black/orange.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think it depends on the piece...there's some lava glaze and silver glaze Blue Mountain that is really unusual and scarce and different than the norm. Also, they came out with a pitcher in 1947 that Lenox essentially copied in 1953 and won a "new design of the year" award for, so I give them some credit

[@jodihepler6202]

I wonder if they were having a septic problem or an animal crawled in somewhere and died. If I owned it, I would be hunting for the source.

I understand, that episode was a particularly difficult one because we tried a different film processor that was supposed to make things more stable and it had the opposite effect. We aren't able to tell when filming because the screen is so small that we can't tell until we process the video. We did not use that processor again, so it should be better in most other videos
