Surprising Vintage & Antique Finds at Nebraska’s Junk Jaunt!

[@pigoff123]

During the 70s and 80s I shopped at the German flea markets. I went threw faces where I collected things as a teenager. Tins, pewter things, old linens etc. As they priced out of my range I changed things up. I worked babysitting jobs and military summerhire jobs. Shopped downtown on the economy too. In 86 I got to go shopping in East Berlin before the wall came down too.😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I bet that was a fascinating time to shop! I'm sure things were more available at first, especially after the wall fell

[@pigoff123]

I use an old crock as my trash can in one bathroom and an old coal bucket as one in my bathroom. I use an old butter churn as a toilet paper holder in one too. You found some amazing things.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That’s pretty clever! I love seeing how people repurpose old things!

[@pigoff123]

I had a kitchen cabinet like that when we were stationed in Germany. I wish I had kept it and shipped it to the states or at least given it to my mother and shipped it with her stuff last year when she passed.😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Those old schranks are pretty great!

[@pigoff123]

I got the primary Pyrex bowl set for 20 dollars at the Goodwill. I squealed and made my brothers jump.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's great! I found a good deal on a set up in Canada this summer, it's not common in thrifts now

[@pigoff123]

I was the queen of upc's. I sent them in for everything. I didn't smoke but got Marlboro coupons and would trade them to the GI's for the upc's. I got a cool Jean shirt and a gold zipper lighter. Cartons were only 4 dollars and coupons were for 2 off. Great deal in the commissary but they were rationed. I saved kool-aid and rage upc's and got dishes and barbies etc. Got scottie dogs too and little Debbie dolls. So much fun. Still have most of them.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's right, you could get lots of stuff for cigarette packages back then!

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you, George. It was a treat to browse the pop- up, high end shop. I know the owner has a wealth of knowledge.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

So glad you’re not in Fl!!!!!! I hope the second storm is not so bad!

[@janetpogue4970]

I know. Our state just sent more National Guard to FL to help. ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I was fortunate

[@ConnieJean_9-18]

Sounds like you stumbled upon lots of fun hunting places. Looking forward to seeing the journey.

Grand island native here! Heartland antique mall is one of my favorites!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I love Heartland Antique Mall!

[@debm8470]

Really enjoyed the shopping trip. Thx!

[@nemophilistnay]

10:15 wow! I’ve never seen Alienware in a video (let alone in the wild)! That seems like a great price too. 15:26 cute!! 20:15 those Pom Pom flowers are amazing! 21:30 cutest things in the video! What neat spaces with some rarely seen stuff. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Allenware! I knew it had a name but was so far back in my experience I couldn't recall. I really should've bought it. These were such fun malls and shops with so much to see that was unusual!

[@nemophilistnay]

@@TheAntiqueNomadI’d like to own a small, orange piece someday. Can you get it on your way back? I think there’s definitely $ in it for you. Hope Spokane went great! See you soon!! 😍

[@walterglomp1035]

Absolutely love your narration and sharing knowledge, Wally

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! I like doing it

[@darcycorbridge1898]

My husband and I travel from Denver for the Junk Jaunt. We love going. We've met some of the friendliest people, and found great things to bring home. Try to make it next year. You won't be disappointed.

[@janetpogue4970]

That sounds like a lot of fun !!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Sounds great!

[@ConnieAtwood]

Love the mirror

[@AnnaMills-l3r]

George, First of all, I love your informative videos and array of antique items you choose to discuss. Thank you for sharing your detailed and vast knowledge. I always learn something new from your videos. I hope you purchased the $25 Hull planter. The pattern is called Crabapple and the price guide Hull pottery books I've seen, does not show a value for the crabapple pattern. The vases are very hard to find in that pattern, never seen a hanging planter in the Crabapple design. If I didn't live in South GA and have work tomorrow, I'd be in the car heading to Nebraska to grab that planter. I hope you bought it!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It's a good one for sure, thank you for telling me about the pattern!

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Such fun, shopping with you. So many beautiful things. I loved the bikes at the end, the one on the far left is the same as my bike in my early teens but it was purple. So cool, a lot of gorgeous lamps and vases.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I love that bike and it was a great find!

[@abby_normal_x]

I love that you're coming to Utah!

[@katbunniekat1962]

I thought you'd try on the Sombrero! Darn! 🤭😁 love to see your hat modeling! Great show! I enjoy seeing all the antiques! Your knowledge is amazing!

Loved watching you in Grand Island NE! I live about 70 miles east and will have to visit their antique stores!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Grand Island is a great place for finding vintage & antiques!

[@rainieday52]

Thank you George I enjoy your videos a lot, and I love learning from you😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So glad you enjoy them!

[@SHERRY0010]

Seems that Nebraska is a great place to find vintage /antiques in the wild . The gentleman with the pop up store , must spend hours looking for things . He’s got great taste .

[@gailcathey5642]

My Dad read me the Thornton Burgess books. His grandmother read them to him. We got them from the library , his were gone. I have a collection now I picked up as an adult at various rummage sales, etc. His favorite story growing up was Johnny Chuck's Great Fight where he turns the tables on his bully, Reddy Fox.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Those are some great stories!

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi Friends, hope u are all safe and dry. Scary weather conditions are changing so many peoples lives. 😢

George, I always enjoy watching & listening to you do walk thru's, an shopping. Because you not only name things, but you give details, history, an fun facts along with everything your looking at ! Your one of the people I tell others about, a Must Watch on my Best of the Best people to see ( an Listen too ! ) !! :~)

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you so much! I have fun with it

Loved Grand Island! Thank you! As usual, I want everything I see in these videos, LIKE THAT CRAZY Wall Shelf 1960's, too!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I know, it’s hard to resist those!

[@stephenholmes5362]

George you were close, they used a white West highland terrier & a black Scottish terrier in the ads for the Whiskey!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's right!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. There was a clear pitcher, just off the screen, close to the Lennox vase that caught my eye...me and my beverage sets 😂 Loved the mineral case! For me, I prefer them in their natural state. The mantlepiece ewer really caught my attention. That was a pretty one. The Merrick's display case was fantastic! I really like anything to do with antique sewing items. I'd like to have that "Quick Meal Change" tray, with the chicks on it. It's small enough I could find a place to put it 😁 Loved the Mission wall clock! I had a floor Mission clock, but had to sell it when I moved here. The local clock repair shop has one he would sell, if I could only find a place to hang it. That stained glass arch was spectacular! There was a banquet lamp against the wall there that caught my eye, too. There was an assassin's dagger there I liked. Lalique glass is spectacular. Those pieces were beautiful the way the light played in them. Aaarg! That barrister's bookcase! Geez, there was so much in all of those places that caught my eye! It would've taken me all day to go through all of those shops. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm not surprised you saw a lot you liked, this town really has good antiques and vintage! I prefer the minerals in their natural state (although I like cracked geodes so you can see). The Merrick's case was very special, I'm not a sewing person at all and yet I find things related to sewing rather intriguing (perhaps because I can't do it). The floor Mission clocks are a favorite of mine, they gave them out in Seattle back in the 1910s to whoever sold the most papers on their route each year. The great stuff in that one shop...Lalique, Wedgwood, the stained glass arch...I wish I'd had more room and more time!

[@cecoya]

What a wonderful name advertising "Junk Jaunt" lol I love it. That blue set of china was beautiful and I love all the Wedge Wood too. Have a great day and safe travels

[@LisaCates-j8i]

Love love the kitchen queen, and the quilts, And the scotties ❤❤❤❤

A friend and I went to the Junk Jaunt in Nebraska 2 years ago. We stayed in Grand Island two nights and went to all the antique stores. It's a pretty cool town.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I was pleasantly surprised!

I grew up with the railroad calendars on the wall. My dad was on the mailing list.(LOL)

Wowowow!!!! Wonder if alot gets sold with those prices ?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You would be surprised, but yes, things do sell. They had enough interesting stuff that's hard to find in that antique mall that they seemed to be busy

[@FossilForwardFinds]

Appreciation the rocks and minerals love!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I wish I knew more, but I'm happy to show them because they're cool looking even we don't have your expertise in the subject

[@ruthbrooks8699]

Great video. The crystal mushrooms are from temu and are very cheap. Most of the crystals in that case looked they where from temu. There ok but not great ones.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Love the chip and dip set! ❤

[@sperlingslustvintage]

The painting of the mountains is indeed the German alps. It is by Herrmann Schmitzbonn (1903 - 1960). He did paint the Bavarian alps around Garmisch-Partenkirchen so it might be the Zugspitze.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you, I assumed as much!

[@erinnkemp]

Thanks George

[@erinnswan7063]

Loved the pop up shop!

[@lenaraay]

I have primary color bowls at lake left by seller

[@MargaretTrebing]

You know, with that floor lamp, it might’ve just been the bulb that wasn’t working. Some thrifters carry bulbs that they know are working with them so they can test out lamps.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's true, and a good idea! Batteries too.

[@apriljones4208]

My Mother used have crocks that she made pickles in them. I have no idea what happened to them.

Hi there 😊

[@Jane_Dow]

I find leaving your trash behind is extremely Rude. I feel very strongly about things like that ( especially Gum ), you might get tired of it, but I don't want it on my shoes or anywhere else either. I find it funny ( yet frustrating ) when people I know badmouth about litterbugs, but yet I find them doing the same. I used to be quiet about it back in the 70s an just silently pick it up, then I started getting mad about it. Now I guess I'm just getting old & mouthy. Oop's there I go again ! :~)

[@janetpogue4970]

I hope the Owner of Church Windows considers Donating them Back to Church. You could get a tax deduction, and Add to the History of Church. Please, consider making donation.

[@janetpogue4970]

Anyone else want to make a similar comment ?? Please do 😅😮

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That would be an amazing outcome!

[@lenaraay]

Why would you have tin ceiling

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It was a cheap method of paneling back then so you could cover up lath and plaster

Yes it would. He could even get a tax deduction, I believe.

[@janetpogue4970]

I hope the owner see your comment. I will leave one too. 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Presuming they have money and interest in restoring the place, yes. Lots of buildings end up on the historic register with no one to restore or repair, though

[@stephenholmes5362]

I disagree that the cloisonné covered jar is Japanese , it screams China!

[@janetpogue4970]

Hum, how do u know? I could never tell the difference .

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I generally have seen colored interiors in Japanese pieces, is it the field that makes you think Chinese?

[@Di...747]

If you look at the bottom of ceramic dishware Figurines etc and the bottom has no wear or is clean and white it is not an antique it is a knock off re production.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That is generally the case, yes
