The Old Abandoned General Store from 1910 : (Time-Capsule - Everything Left Behind!) Part 1

[@ObsoleteOddity]

*UPDATE:* 16.8.16 There's a sad piece of news regarding the old store, when we visited the town yesterday, we walked to the old store and saw that the right hand side window was cracked; and then to our shock & dismay, we noticed the glass had been replaced in the door - this means someone has either removed the old glass panel with the beautiful Gillette sticker....or someone smashed it. It left us with a heavy heart. Plus when we peered through the window, there appears to be water splashed around everywhere. We have discovered some wonderful additional material in regard to this old store. Here is the video showing what happened to all the wonderful nostalgic items from the store: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3zbe5Z6ipeMZ5I&lc=UgwjgXvr6UurPK4KVnF4AaABAg

[@ibrake4butterflies]

Someone probably saw you all there and decided to add their not so gentle touch to the place.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

There is that depressing thought, that someone from the town saw my video - but I doubt they saw us while we were there...we're very discreet. The other more uplifting thought, is that the town's historical society has rescued it...hope!

[@ibrake4butterflies]

Hope so.

[@AracelyDreamer]

where is that place??? its awesome.... !

[@danozism]

I'm a LONG way from the town and have only vague details- is there any way you can contact the historic society and find out the situation?

[@carlahelin5203]

I really appreciate how slowly you go through the rooms and such and really take time to take in everything. Almost feels like I'm walking through the place myself. I'm in love with this building!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey thanks so much for the kind feedback Carla! Much appreciated :)

[@stephaniegonewild5857]

Its amazing how things like that cool coffee grinder was left behind. It would make a nice added addition to any kitchen nowadays even. People love antiques. This was nice video. Very nice structure. I love these ghost buildings. Abandoned building, history lingering and you can feel it.

[@bobs8697]

[@SooziinCa]

Thanks for post! A cornucopia of history.. ... LOVE IT! From the hardware, trim, doors, windows, etc.,......that stuff is worth a fortune! We just paid $895.00 (& that was cheap!) for a time period, interior, solid core Douglas Fir door, to replace one in our 1855 Queen Anne. Fortunately, our sweet gal, has been consistently loved, cared for & maintained through time.

[@leiannesw4926]

Love these old buildings. Great tour. We were renovating part of our house in Michigan. We knew it was very old, and the county could only guess at 1920s. As we went in part of a wall, there were newspapers from 1902! We went in a few other walls and found papers from the building of the house's timeline? The insulation of newspapers was from 1902 thru 1912. The later papers were upstairs in what we had guessed was an add on. That certainly explained feeling that the house was not insulated. Lol. We left original fixtures, glass doorknobs, claw foot tubs, etc. We were always amazed what we would find in the rafters, walls, etc. We took the newspapers to the county and they wrote the house was built in 1903 on the paperwork. She was a beauty

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I'm off for a chilled beer friends, will reply to all later! hello to all my old friends and welcome newcomers!

[@jennieward-scott9531]

I just love your videos as you know .. and yet again you don't disappoint .. Thanks so much and can't wait for part 2! Enjoy your pint and stay safe my friend! Hugs from Jen

[@crittert7828]

Looking forward to the next 2 videos. Excellent job🎈

[@CuracaoLife]

Amazing video bro!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey thanks Jennie, glad it was to your liking, the icy beer(s) was/were brill! :)) We're having a mini-heatwave here, so I have a good excuse for swilling beer, lol xx

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you! Part 2 coming real soon.

[@freddiemartinez954]

I also love old buildings.I love I love.I will never get enough.I just wish I knew someone to go explore with.

[@queencerseilannister3519]

I can only imagine how cool it would be to visit a place like this! It's like you're brought back to another time.

[@lesliesmith5797]

I much prefer when you narrate. Gives so much more feeling, and I like all your details. Very cool house though.

[@mariad4123]

You never fail to disappoint. What a great find! Looking forward to seeing the rest :-)

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Maria - glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour! Stay tuned! :)

[@CrashingCrockery]

I love all the various layers of eras - my eye picks out items from the 50's and 60's, of which I am very fond, other things from other time periods look like they could be from a parallel universe to my untrained eye! Love the kitchen interior and wood; the bathroom with the turquoise tile is also lovely.

[@computergrant1]

Wow, I love abandoned structures and how they were left! Thank you for these!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Grant - glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour!

[@katslat8410]

IT's amazing how a lot of these old items remained untouched. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of yester years.

[@srevero1]

Sitting on the edge of my seat, mesmerized, and relishing every second of this. So much to take in, so I'll view it again. I don't want to miss any detail. It's the closest i"ll ever get to time-traveling and I love it! So exciting, so interesting and I am a fanatical fan......Good idea to break it up into Parts...there's just so much material to take in....loving this! Thank you so much....

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you Suzanne for your lovely feedback :) I have such great & loyal viewers! Yes I thought all this footage in 1 video is just too much for the brain, the enjoyment of it would be affected; so breaking it up into 3...gives everyone a pause between videos. Part 2 coming soon!

[@thra5herxb12s]

I like the way that 116 years old plastic keeps its shine.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

The store has been in use since that time, of course the products were updated over the decades.

[@thra5herxb12s]

It would be nice if the next owners carry on using it as a store. I bet a lot of local people have good childhood memories of this place.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

thra5herxb12s I agree, but I guess the big name DIY suppliers have made this kind of store obsolete...it's sad; but you're right, I think many in this town will have fond memories of the store and the old man who ran it.

[@thra5herxb12s]

So true.

[@marilynproctor3485]

Marilyn Your videos are amazing. All your subjects are interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@vespermartini2556]

Sunday morning(well, almost noon in the east coast of the US), drinking my coffee and watching your new upload. Priceless!! I can imagine it in the 1910s, you would hear horse-drawn carriages, instead of cars and ambulances, police (couldn't figure out which one I heard in the background). The red coffee grinder was magnificent, so were the copper containers, the wine bottles. I wish I could have read what was written on the tiles in the kitchen, but I did notice "1943" in one of them. Can't wait for part 2. Great job as always!!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you friend as always for stopping by and the great feedback! You like myself have imagined what it was like, I even stood behind the counter and picked up on the echoes. I used to have that same model coffee grinder, but not in such good condition. Enjoy your coffee and have a beautiful Sunday :)

[@MrJm323]

Yeah, the date of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (19 April, 1943). To the right of that is mention of the 40th anniversary of Germany's capitulation (Mi, 8 Mai, 1985, 40 Jahrestag - "Wednesday, 8th of May, 1985, 40 Anniversary"), and to the right of that is what appears to be the date 31st of March, 2005 (written below the Barlauch or "bear garlic"). Very strange stuff to be scribbled on a kitchen wall, eh? Some of it historical, some of it genealogical, but with some of it gastronomical. If this place is in Germany, it's someplace very near Switzerland, I'm guessing, because of some the items caught in view are related to Aargau canton (the thermal baths ad and the sugar cube box). ...And, the bicycle, "Friwa" 5:21 , is a brand associated with Aarau, the capital of Aargau canton, Switzerland. So, I think this place is in northern Switzerland, in canton Aargau.

[@vespermartini2556]

***** Thank you, my pleasure to always leave a positive feedback, you are the best!!

[@vespermartini2556]

MrJm323 Wow, I can't believe you were able to read the entire date, I just captured 1943. Good to hear from others as to what they noticed in the background, thank you for the info. Yes, it's strange, but interesting to us reading it today.

[@mannybothons5650]

Just found your channel and I must say I am very impressed, I simply love the subject matter and how you present it. You are a born storyteller sir, please keep narrating!!

[@twosisterscleaning5918]

Ok I love the doors with the ornamental iron. The large sink too!

[@jacquimayton2466]

That building is in amazing condition for being abandoned so long ago. Really enjoyed the video, you got a new sub 😃

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks so much Jacqui, glad you enjoyed it! Much appreciated & thanks for the sub :)

[@rwe1havasu]

There's only one problem with these videos... and it's a big one... I'M NOT THERE !!!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

lol :)

Very ,very cool ! You deserve thousands of cheers . That toilet was very different . I´ve never seen anything like this before . By the way ,buddy ,have you seen my last videos ? The last i´m showed a place that i´ve known almost 20 years ago.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey Sergio, long time no see - thanks for stopping by, I'll check out your videos definitely tomorrow....now I'm off for a chilled beer! :) Take care buddy!

[@melissacobb9800]

I was watching the video when You scanned the bottles, I just stated that they look like something you would place human organs in and THEN YOU POSTED IT WAS! My husband looked at me and just laugh! The look on my face he said was priceless.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

ha ha! That's hilarious! I'm still not sure what was in those jars :)

[@Lisa1111]

I just love these abandoned places Oddie! Thanks you two ♥️ 🤗

[@garyhird7689]

Once again another amazing video I have just subscribed today and can't stop watching. There is just something special about the way you do this. You manage to capture the atmosphere perfectly allowing us to imagine and ponder about who has been there, what kind of clothes they wore, what conversations they may have had and generally how they lived in those times. Keep up the excellent work you are doing a very important job keeping places such as these in the public eye before they disappear without trace. I'm opening up a lovely cold beer for you in the UK right now 🍺

[@garyhird7689]

Oh and thank you for the reply earlier I appreciate it.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you Gary, it's always a pleasure to have an appreciative audience and someone on a similar wavelength who can 'tune' into my videos. Thank you also for your thoughtful & kind words - indeed, not only do the explorations give me great pleasure, but I feel a strong need to capture what I know for sure will change...whether it be demolition or unsympathetic restoration. Stay tuned Gary, because I've got some 'urban eye candy' lined up! Friend, I've just cracked open a beer too - so cheers!

[@loren-sh4xq]

As always friend you do not disappoint, the building is in great condition, the old wheelchair is a classic. The taps on the bath to the notes on the tiles. Glad to see no one has damaged this wonderful find.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Loren - glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour! Stay tuned! :)

[@bjw521]

You've done it again Obsolete!!! My family is a huge fan of history!!!!! So when I have a day off I always go to your channel.!!!!!!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey thanks Barb - I'm privileged that when you have your day off, you devote some of your time to my videos! Thank you!!!

[@marilynhudson8426]

I, Would love to have some of the old bottles for decorating, my curio cabinet..THANKS AGAIN, ODDIE

[@trinacrawford8150]

Second video I have watched of yours and I am hooked. No work is getting done here until I have seen them all. Thanks for posting these.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

What a lovely< comment, thank you Tina. Sorry I'm holding you up from your housework, but happy to have you watching! :)

[@tyrssen1]

Probably not "human organs" in those jars, but nothing you'd want to eat, either ... the bicycle is a 1960's era, the headlite and brake lines are a dead give-away, unless they were added later. Great vid!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for your kind feedback Seth

[@nancyhanks65]

Enjoyed that very much. I bet that house was very nice and cozy when the shop owner and his wife lived there. I would love to see photos of how it looked back then. Thanks for the trip

[@garywood9525]

That Gillette sign if from the late 1930's. The inventor of that double edge razor got help from an Engineer to come up with the shaver unit for the blades. The depression forced a man to do odd jobs and went on the road to travel as a sales Person , but almost every man had a local Barber that knew how they like their Shave . The shavers Blade needed to be sharpens by the strop and wasn't the best way to do your own shaving while on the road when you would travel from town to town . It suddenly hit him that a shaver with a throw away blade could be used for the perfect shave and be safer if housed in a device to hold it so the only the edge sticks out. So he created the double edge razor blades in a pack of several new ones where the shaver could come apart for a small Kit with Shave cream and face cloth . Men could carry their barber in a box and shave when they needed to even on a train and Hotel room . This design came in handy during WW2 in the fields when men had to shave. The cream made it easier when there wasn't hot water . Today we have the multi Blade heads that click on to handle but they are so expensive for Blades the older throw-away plastic ones are coming back and can be mailed to people each month. Companies need to recycle the high priced blade heads to extract the blades to re-sharpen them in bulk to put back on the market in a New plastic holder unit . You can save 20-30 Heads to drop off at a recycling Box and this may keep the price down for buying refurbished Blades. I don't throw away my skates when they get dull.

[@tjfreak]

Did they have to take a home equity loan out to afford them back then too ?

[@caomhan84]

The Gillette sign is not from the 30's, it's from the mid-50's. The razor shown is a "flare-tip" Superspeed, introduced iin 1954, and the Blue Blade dispenser.

[@caomhan84]

And TJ Freak, to answer your funny question...actually no, you didn't need to shell out an arm and a leg for blades back then...and that was exactly why Gillette developed new razors. Any double-edged blade from any company could fit the old safety razor heads. Gillette figured out they were missing the boat on a huge profit opportunity...and in 1971 they created a razor that required proprietary blades. The rest is history. 2 blades became 3, became 4, 5....and perpetually more expensive. Thing is, they still make the old style safety razors and you can still buy cheap double-edge blades for them. Gillette would rather you not know that, however.

[@shepopop]

The old paper sealed jars are preserves . In the olden days , we used to preserve vegetables , fruits and mushrooms 🍄. They were kept in the cellar . The green burner is made of "faience" lol we used to have one in our bedroom , every morning , I had to empty the coal ashes tray on the garden compost pit . Thank you so much , great photography too .

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey thanks so much for your kind feedback & the interesting information! :) Glad you enjoyed the tour :)

[@cogidubnus1953]

There is a special poignancy about how you present these pieces, which somehow transcends simply looking round an old house, and actually becomes an enquiry into the lives of the folk who lived and worked there...it doesn't seem to matter whether you put a musical backing in or not...I think it's that deliberately subdued presentation which conveys a certain stillness...I was going to ask some questions, but I see you've answered them already...so I'll say thanks as always...Dave

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you Dave, you're very intuitive, I was just conveying to a friend who commented, that I get a sense of all the lives, all the different personalities that have left their imprint in the house...and the sense that they like me, were once present, going about their business, laughing, crying, loving....and then gone. I'm aware of that in every old building I enter - and so I have a great respect and a feeling of privilege being there. Thanks for your positive feedback Dave.

[@LittleOcasioHomestead]

Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for watching!

[@cherrikinney9855]

What an interesting find! I can't wait until the other two videos are posted! The object that interested me in this video was the heater in the middle of the kitchen. It is a heater....right? I thought I noticed a pattern on the body of the heater. Am I right? The stove is interesting also! A great job on filming this!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Cherri - glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour! Stay tuned! :) Yes that's similar to a 'pot bellied' stove, except Swiss style with ceramic tiles on it.

[@lexdee523]

As usual, we I see stuff like this, I'm like a kid in a candy store. It just fascinating to me. I'm a sucker for anything old from the 1950's and before. Thanks Oddie 👍

Another exciting find, can hardly wait to see the rest. I always run your videos a few times to make sure, I never miss anything and then watch them again later. Couldn't help laughing at the end, with the music, just stepped away to do something and speakers was way up :) Thought no way you used that music on this :) funny

[@ruthshelton1924]

Where you see the 'john' at-10:18- In the Pine Barrens, NJ there is a state park where there are still some old buildings. In back of a very old school there they dug up the old 'out house'. They found old bottles, old toys & odds & ends. Where you showed the old corks from bottles- I used to save mine & glued them together & & put felt on top & used them to put hot plates on.

[@pigoff123]

my grandmother had the hot water heater over the tub too. in fact I think my first apartment had it there too. thanks for the memories.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you very much, glad the tour of the old store was to your liking. Much appreciated :) This store is in the German speaking part of Switzerland; so it's quite possible some of the fixtures & fittings are German made.

[@greeneyedlilpup745]

Favorite so far!!! Amazing!!!🤗

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you!

[@francisbarca6608]

I wonder how it stood vacant for all the years. No taxes or land fees? It seems like the locals really respected the place and maybe knew the owners? What an intriguing mystery. I would love to have such experiences. Thanks for sharing.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I'm not sure how it works in Switzerland, but there's a lot of buildings that just stay empty for a long, long time....without vandalism either.

[@pigoff123]

Thanks for the memories. Your English is amazing.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour! Stay tuned! :) Don't know what the writing on the wall was all about, had me puzzled too.

[@christinerobinson890]

I have that very little vase in the first entrance to the shop. The turquoise little vase on the counter. It's in my window sill now. I love the aqua-colored bathroom tile. I think I could restore that tub. At least I did so in my mind. Lol.

[@beejay2850]

Very interesting. Had this old gem been in the States, vandals would have destroyed everything and graffiti would abound. Thanks for the time machine visit. I have subscribed. Wish I was able to visit Europe but your videos make it possible to do so. Also your command of the camera is awesome! Really love your explorations! God bless!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I've been hearing that a lot from my US viewers, and it's a sad thing to hear; My hope is that with urban exploration videos becoming more & more popular, that youngsters start taking a different view on exploring old buildings...no more destruction & defacement....just documentation. But I also realise a lot of this destruction is done by thieves after the copper pipes, etc - it's a shame, but that's the world now. Take care, thanks for watching & God bless you too :)

[@kelliintexas3575]

My eye went to the HUGE Copper stock pot outback on the ground. It was used to make caramels & candies... Only costs around $1800 here in the US as an Antique.

[@3enjoy3]

You mean you weren't tempted to try 1950s pickled preserves? Man you even had a choice of 'water closets' in case they were a bit strong lol! Well, you've done it again - another gem to explore! I'm impressed that you even manage to find these places let alone get to venture inside. Fascinating video and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next part :) Kinda miss the incidental music though.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I think my stomach would've been a pickled preserve if I'd partook of those 50's delights, lol I spotted this place purely by accident while just out for a drive. I'll still have music, but thought I'd try something different for this explore. Thanks for popping in!

[@kathystidham8309]

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Kimberly as always for your kind feedback :) Often these old buildings bring back memories of either our grandparents or parents homes. I'm not sure at the moment if they're going to tear it down, but I imagine they will eventually. I'll keep checking from time to time. I'm drinking another cold beer now, lol CHEERS Kimberly!

Looks like everything in that store deserves a spot in a museum or an auction house.

[@bambi.72]

lucky you! I'd love to explore an abandon asylum, morgue, or hotel... I love watching these type of abandon buildings videos.. my daughter sent me a picture of a very old abandoned police station, my first thought was, I would sit and look through all the files left behind.. Yes, I'm weird like that...😂😂😂

Nice work, good find. Glad to see the shitbags haven't vandalized and pillaged it yet. Thank for sharing your work.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks a lot, glad the tour of the old store was to your liking! Much appreciated :)

[@wendyh-d9656]

Super neat!! I guess they didn't have post it notes back then. They did like writing on the walls. Great video, thanks for sharing!!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks Wendy for your positive feedback - I like your idea about the "post it notes"...that could be the reason :)

The guys from American Pickers would so love to travel with you to all the interesting and mysterious places with all those antique pieces to pick from.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I wish they would head over here, I've got a ton of rusty relics to sell 'em! lol

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thank you very much for your kind feedback Michelle - much appreciated :) I'd love to hit the junk stores and flea-markets, but everything is closed at the moment. I'm getting itchy feet!

[@alicia1396]

Love old buildings, so sad to see being left to waste.

[@900108Chale]

Hey! You´re back!!! Soooo happy. The jars? Too bad they are not human organs LOL. Those most be Konserven (conserves). Woman used to spend the summer collecting fruits, berries, etc. to prepare jelly, marmalade and whatever else for the winter. The jars were then filled with the goodies to preserve them and one would spent the whole eternal winter eating bread with apple jelly.... Mom used to prepare those things and of course I made my best to avoid them! Imagine 3 months of constant apple jelly!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Hey thanks friend! "Too bad they are not human organs" - lol, I'm actually glad they're not, I don't fancy finding myself in Hannibal Lecter's basement! ha ha! Although these conserves are definitely past their best, I once found a private bomb bunker here with jams from 1965; and apart from being no longer jelly-like, they probably could've been eaten in an emergency. Here it used to be law to stock your home bunker with foodstuffs. Apple jelly, yum - I could think of worse things to eat for 3 months. :)

[@900108Chale]

LOL! Yes US army supplied Spam, of which had had more than enough during my "stay" in the Swiss Army. BTW Yes food stocking, I believe that started in WWI when they were "sieged" by the warring nations. There is a tale that during WWII every single piece of greenery was planted with potatoes. Even roundabouts and parks. I searched for pictures a while back but did not find them...

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Freddy Xontal omg, how could I forget SPAM, we used to be given it for school lunch 'Spam fritters'. They have also here 'Fleischkäse' (literally translates as 'meatcheese' -which is similar to Spam, but I think better. Did you try it? Yes it's interesting about the private bunkers & food stocking. I visited a few old peoples homes when I first came here; and was astonished to see these little bunkers all homely looking with rugs and such, and with stores of canned foods & dry foods.

[@900108Chale]

***** Delicious! Well to make up for that we used to get Shoggy and pretty good it was!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Freddy Xontal Ah, do you mean Schoggi? chocolate?

[@pigoff123]

[@rufusblissett6606]
