I Bought an ABANDONED STORAGE UNIT... Look What We FOUND!

[@aprilfool8329]

I hope you do some research before selling the things you found. Those glass candies could be valuable if they were made by Murano. Also, a Tastykake tin like the one you found sold on Ebay for $24.99 and popcorn turkeys like the one you found sold for twenty-five dollars and up on Ebay. It doesn't make sense to me to go to all that work and then sell a $25 dollar turkey for a couple dollars at the flea market. At least the items you found looked relatively clean and the locker did not contain a lot of actual trash. Thanks for sharing a fun clean-out video!

[@pinkerbot]

Agree, but just fyi, Murano is not a company - it is an island off Venice famous for their art glass production.

[@carolvandyke6926]

I'm interested in what you do with the glass candies ? I bought some several years just because they were unique !!

[@sand3882]

You got a shopper's unit. Many items are from either HSN or QVC. I think you will do well. Your Crowley's sewing cabinet appears to be the real deal. Vintage and worth very good money. The lettering appears to gold leaf like a spool cabinet I had once. Look a few of those odd ball items up. You have some sleepers there. Well done! Glad you didn't get poked at the beginning.

Crowleys was a famous department store in metro Detriot 30 years ago

[@sand3882]

@@camlawn , yes, they changed a lot between 1909 when they went into business and when they stopped operation in 1999. They moved their 2nd store to Dearborn in 1959, Grand River in 1960, and identical stores in Livonia and Macomb Malls in 1964. Value City, a discount chain, bought them out and rebranded 3 of them in the Detroit area as Crowley's Value City in 1999. They went out of business in 2008 when Value City did. There are still many Crowley Furniture stores, without the apostrophe "s", here in MO. They claim to be over 150 years old. Perhaps another branch of the family. Got most of this from Wiki. I like to research. 😊

Those Charming Tails by Fitz and Floyd (near the 5:17 mark) are worth $5 to $15 apiece. You're right about that Harry Slatkin candle too; probably worth $20 to $30 new.

My husband and I did our best to look up info on that Crawlers needles box. We saw only one that looked like it and it was valued at over $200.00! Fabulous find Indeed!!

[@janetburke2739]

Taco! I only caught a glimpse of that hand egg beater with the orange/red wood handle and knob at 11:35, but it looks like it could be an old Edlund from the 1920's or 1930s, worth around $15-$20 (or more? depending on condition after a little cleanup.) I love and collect old kitchen items and have a half-dozen or so vintage egg beaters.

[@rebeccagable9629]

I love vintage kitchen utensils & that eggbeater caught my eye right away!

[@janetburke2739]

@@rebeccagable9629I also love old kitchen utensils and stuff. The reddish handle caught my eye, and I immediately wondered who was the manufacturer. I looked at my small collection of beaters and also consulted a book I've had for many years, "Kitchens and Gadgets 1920 to 1950" published in 1982. The video's egg beater appears to be an Edlund due to the D-shaped handle and the shape of the beaters. We have a bunch of old kitchen stuff that belonged to my husband's family including a set of old individual gelatin molds, old Betty Crocker recipe books, etc. and that's what started me on collecting kitchen items. I keep some of them in a hoosier cabinet that we bought almost 50 years ago.

The glass candy pieces and candles are great ebay items. Some of those candles are $30 or more. A great unit! Charming Tales are collectible as well. Towels are great donations to an animal shelter if you have one nearby. Check that planter out.

What a mix cat in the hat may be worth some money ❤️😄🇬🇧

Hey Taco, those stuffed animals are all vintage, I believe the orange one is an ALF doll, and is rare. The Raggedy Ann doll, and the Cat in the Hat are also worth some cash.

[@nicolehuffman2995]

The Pyrex bowl pattern is BUTTERFLY GOLD, TOO (too as in also , not two). It looks to be in nice condition. Wishing you a good profit on this locker.

[@cheripack1776]

That green clear glass bottle ( jug) you have is a wine cooler. My mom had one and it's from the 1960s. It sat in our kitchen for decades! The bubble part of it holds ice to chill the wine. You have a great find there. Wish I lived closer to your area. I would love to be able to buy it from you.. You always have the best stuff!!

[@maryannanaya7126]

I love that wicker house, looks like it might be a hamper.

Great buy! I think you just turned $60 into a couple thousand$$$! Thank you once again for taking us along with you on another adventure! ❤

[@lindagarrido1]

Taco...you need to research all the Christmas ornaments and all the little stuff. Can be worth more than you think...

[@deborahrobinson5266]

The peacock chair you found on the curb is a lot better deal than the wicker chair in this unit, but some of the other stuff here is nice. Be careful with those breakable collectibles such as the Charming Tails, the glass candies, even the vintage cooking utensils might bring a lot more than you think if you do auctions on eBay.

[@pegs1659]

Fitz and Floyd can bring in some decent money.

[@conniemccollam2605]

Thanks Taco, another good day, some good items for the flea market.

[@cathifamjourney469]

Would really like to see you actually go through the boxes back at the warehouse. I think you're going to find that alot of what you found is ebay worthy and you'd lose quite a bit of money by just unloading it at the flea market! The box @25:00 looks like it had some disney figurines in it. Those and the glass candies alone should bring your $60 bucks back.o

[@pinkerbot]

Agree!

[@casinokat1]

Yea. I d like to see a closer up view of some of these things

[@patincolorado8434]

The glass display case in that box is worth $50-$80 dollars.

Murano glass candy and that piece of furniture is most like an antique sell it don’t burn it

Those glass candy pieces are probably made in Italy and should have value. I have some myself, bought at the Murano glass factory outside Venice.

The vintage calculator could do very well on eBay with the animal 1970 or 1980 I believe

[@rightlyso8507]

Great video, Taco! Thanks for taking us along. Yeah, those glass candies are awesome and very sought after. They're Italian glass and go for a good amount. You'd do best selling them online and should get back a good portion of the $60 you'd paid for the unit. Coupled with the candles at $5-$10 apiece, to move them quick, would be OK. The Crowley's Needles box is worth a lot of cash. I don't think copies of them have been made. You can always check out the joints, how the drawers were put together, to see if it is old. Incredible!

[@vintiago]

The Charming Tails and Precious Moment pieces run in the $20 to 40 price range. I used to collect them so am familiar with how expensive they can be. That being said don’t let them go for a dollar at the flea market. This is a pretty good unit so will definitely make your money back.

[@cynthiaedwards3439]

Today has been another fun day of you cleaning out the storage unit. I just enjoy seeing what treasures you find. I liked how you tried out that chair and you did look very uncomfortable. Hope that you and Salsa have a wonderful weekend Taco.

[@susanfarley1332]

I always look carefully through stuff because you never know. I once found a box on the side of the road and after looking at the junk and a few good things I found in the bottom of the box I found one of those pure silver coins and a large silver commemorative coin. And in a box of bathroom junk I found a little basket with 7 sterling silver rings. In another box of kitchen junk I found a set of salt and pepper shakers with a slip of paper inside one with information about the shakers and date made. They were carved out of ivory. Got the kitchen box at a yard sale for 75 cents.

Because I at the time had some medical disabilities have NO idea how it was loaded or exactly what is in it. I have never been there. Now as I watch the locker or storage unit sales and see what is in them, it may not be the person who owns them that packed them. I also do not like to think of how my “precious” things are not so precious to others. Keep that in mind. Knowing my family hopefully there is NOTHING EDIBLE in my unit.
