Antique Booth Tip & Vintage Shopping Trip at Wild Western Mall!

This is a fun look at a Western way of life in the big antique mall in Idaho Falls! Yellowstone is literally up the road, so lodge and ranch items co-mingle with mid-century modern glass, early 1900s school bells and the antique and vintage offerings of a huge section of the state.
This place looks big, and it is! A rare antique mall with an elevator, this place has three floors of everything...a stylish French travel poster and Ernest Tubb's signature, old money and books, elegant glass and solid, stylish antique furniture intersperse with things that feel more uniquely of the Mountain West. Hopi dancers, a lasso bowl cozy, lodge animal mounts and vintage saddlery are decorative now, but tell stories of real days of hard riding and hard work to live in this section of the USA. Another story is told by a plate from Nauvoo, Illinois about the hard life of the early Mormon pioneers.
We go into the basement in hopes of deals, and meet a viewer who is doing the one most important thing a successful real world (or online) antique and vintage dealer can do! A great tip sends us through the rest of this large maze-like mall, and we get to the counter to see the sizeable pile of things we bought...will Glorious Leader come home with us?

I appreciate that! Thanks and keep on watching, we'll have fun!

George thank you for another journey and the education. You are just a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much

[@christinaapplegate5281]

I really enjoy seeing different parts of the States with you and learning about antiques/vintage. ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! I like getting to show different places I get to see on my travels and share with you

Well...we have seven in our family....we never have even anything...❤

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

In the early sixties in Inglewood California, on the way to the private parochial Lutheran K-8 school.. there was a doll hospital, my mother is one of those practical folks, I can remember her taking one of her old dolls in, she didn't talk a lot - but she wasn't happy.. she grew up in a very small town Houghton Lake Michigan very touristy - her father had a Ford dealership a cement block Factory a sawmill, they also did Ice cutting and set up ice camps for fishermen- along with the bunkhouse where they housed & fed 20 some odd men, you might have had lots of businesses to keep the bunkhouse boys busy... she ran a trap line for muskrats, Grandma cooked them up they taste just like chicken, grandma was a wonderful cook.. she sold the Skins to save money for her future..

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

What an interesting history! I have a good friend from copper country

[@MC-qb1jg]

It's so interesting to see collections from different parts of the country.

[@cynthiaaguilar8656]

George I enjoy watching your videos so much. I have learned a lot from your knowledge and thank you for passing it along for others! ❤

[@krisprescott4138]

Love learning from you George

[@davepcsd]

You continue to amaze me with your spectrum of knowledge. I don't think I've seen any of your content without learning something. By the way, I'd never heard of the Extravaganza in Mt Dora until watching one of your videos. Now I have a trip planned for the November show and already have a hotel. I hope we (Donna and I) can meet you there. It seems you do have a booth there frequently. (I'll be the Brad Pitt lookalike...no small feat for a 69 year old!)

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's fantastic! I'm glad you're coming. I'll be in booth 4079/4090 in Mt. Dora!

[@beckyc.5743]

Thanks George!

[@buckybuckybeaver]

I'm always fascinated by your knowledge. You seem to know something about everything. Thank you!

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you, George for the intetesting discussion on these items.

[@rebeccamaus1170]

I wish I knew that you were in Idaho Falls, I would have been honored if I could have seen you in person!

[@lindaduarte59]

Enjoy your posts and always learn something. The two green goblets for $4 are actually Martha Stewart sold at K-Mart in the 1990s. I got mine as a gift from my sister years ago one year for Christmas.

[@pammywhammy3521]

Hello George!😊❤

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! There was an Egyptian papyrus, in front of the Zenith radio, that caught my eye. I'm an ancient Egyptian nut. I really liked that black marble, on the sideboard. The formal look of the black marble is appealing to me. Those Fenton "Orange Tree" tumblers were actually "Orange Tree Orchard". The "Orange Tree" has four feet on them, and they are almost always chipped...it's expected. That barrister's bookcase was really nice. I could definitely use one of those, after this weekend. For some unknown reason, I'd really like to have one of the old school bells. Loved the Marilyn Monroe potato sack dress poster! She looked great in anything! There were a lot of old doorknobs there that caught my eye. I like old doorknobs. I have an old oak store display, but it has no shelves. I display a Jenny Lind doll my grandmother made in it. I would call that 1890 side-by-side a bonnet dresser. I have a nice oak highboy that has a hat box in it. There were a lot of really interesting things there! There were several furniture pieces that I really liked. Thanks for the take-along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I do like the black marble, especially offset with bright pastel china...but that's just the fussy side of me I don't really get to express since I don't have a Victorian home. Thank you for the clarification on the Fenton variant, I'll look for feet on Orange Tree! I need another barister bookcase in my life, I've sold four in two years and now wish I had one to take to shows. Marilyn was amazing in so many ways and I love that story! I thought you'd enjoy this one and I'm glad you got to see it!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad The "Orange Tree" pieces that have the four feet are the water set, the table set, the berry set and the hatpin holder. Those feet are the main reason Fenton didn't reintroduce those pieces when they did some reissues. Those feet come to quite a sharp point, and they didn't fare very well.

[@trinacerk7608]

Great video George! You know so many things about so many things. I never get bored warching you. Thank you for taking us along. 😊

Great video George! Loved the opening and ending scenic shots. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! I really enjoy showing the different areas I get to see doing this

[@janetpogue4970]

I have traveled to Idaho a few times to see family, we fly fished. Wonderful ❤

[@nemophilistnay]

20:34 I like the odd numbers because then you still have a set if one gets broken. 🤪 Maybe that’s a parents’ way of thinking. That Murano piece is just lovely; I thought it was Viking at first. Looks like a fun place to shop! Hope you’re well! 🤗

[@twistoffate4791]

Folks not only wanted Shirley Temple products, but wanted their own little Shirley, because according to Shirley Temple's autobiography, her dad was "propositioned" many times in hope of making this happen.

[@dawndemaine3694]

I like odd number of glasses. Could always be someone without a date. 😉

[@janetpogue4970]

Wow, George you are close to 60 K subscribers. Way to go !!

Such a fun video, ty I always see something I'd never seen before,,love the cobalt in Festa,,and Marilyn's potatoe dress❤

[@carolyna.2527]

Your travels amaze me George! Thanks for another informative video.

[@cecoya]

What a great place, didn't know about the salt/pepper pitcher shakers. Good to know though. Love all the Fenton and Bohemian glass. You have a great day and safe travels

[@joannnelson9847]

I believe that COLETTE was the sculpter Rodin's muse-assistant sculptress for many years. They lived in the Paris of the Impressionists, Salons and idle rich. Quite a story George. She never truly received the respect her work demanded. She ended her dreadful life after many years in a mental hospital.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

How sad but that’s very interesting information! I’m not so well studied on Rodin

[@joannnelson9847]

George, when will u be in Spokane (or thereabouts) again???

[@donutrevival_]

George you should check out the Maryhill Museum's Rodin collection in Goldendale next time you're back in WA. So worth a visit! ❤

[@Flojoe6274]

Rodin's assistant was Camille Claudel.

[@joannnelson9847]

Camille Claudel was her name. Quite true!!

[@janetpogue4970]

Lots of interesting things in the store. You are very knowledgeable! 😅

[@corenekay5776]

Oh, I missed it! I don't know where that antique store is. I was looking for one there last June. Glad you found one I didn't. Went to the Cat one. Bought several pieces of Jewelry there. Love that thin hall tree. Thanks George

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Head out on the highway to Yellowstone, it's two blocks left to the north at the interseciton with the Conoco

[@cathiehackney]

How amazing this "glow" business is...first time in my 45+ years of reselling it is all the rage!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think it happened out west once prior, in the 1990s

[@agomodern]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Yep, very collectible then too.

[@silverstatepicks]

I had that Jones scale in my booth and sold it for$119, mine was in very good condition but I did do my homework on that piece and typed it out for buyer.

[@lindamcnamara7803]

George , a lady in Manchester, NH a town next to me bought a painting at a Antique/Vintage store there. Turned out to be a Wyeth it’s one of five. It’s known a second one is is found. She has it at Massachusetts auction Skinners and something? It’s believed to bring in $250K and possibly more. I’m excited for her and it’s a beautiful work of art. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

How exciting! Skinner’s is a good auction and I’m sure she’ll do well

[@503Vintage]

Hi George, Kristin with 503Vintage in Portland OR. On this video you find some Inarco and I thought I’d add some color to your story. My parents were married in 1964. They would drive to the coast and play the games at the arcade in Seaside, where those pieces were given away as prizes on some of the games there. My parents won several pieces of the Mood Indigo, of which I have decided to part with and are now for sale at my booth at Memory Den!

[@crittergirl3647]

Cool flying fish!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I love flying fish!

Watched this on the replay.Was preparing for the upcoming storm. Vidalia. Great video as always. Lots of cool stuff.🦩🌴🌞

[@LauraMe...]

Another fun video. This place was truly incredible! Fun pieces around every corner. My grandfather had 3 lawyers bookcases 2 were i think 5 high and the last was 3. That one held the readers digest which i was allowed to read some of after i reached 5th grade. 😂❤ by then id exhausted the young readers at the library, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Meg, Tarzan, little house... and so on...

[@carolewilke3151]

Very enjoyable!

Thank you! I’ll keep making them if you’ll keep watching

[@patricialyle1656]

I always do!!❤

[@DavidJ.A.]

Another great video. I always learn a lot from your videos and I'm grateful for them. Thank you. If possible, please talk some more about Chinese/Japanese pieces.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I will try to find a good collection of Asian items to show, I really do often only see 20th century examples but the period pieces are fascinating

[@DavidJ.A.]

Thank you very much. Any Chinese items that are pre-War II are interesting. It's a tricky area and I will value your expertise! @@TheAntiqueNomad

[@persiphonehellecat]

The Dali French travel posters are my favorite - I have two sets. Heck no she shouldn't be covered! She should be displayed the way the artist painted her. I am with Laura Cauldwell - I love female nudes. LOVE the adding machine. I am kind of obsessed with those. Used to have a gorgeous brass and copper one I sold. Wish I hadn't.

[@agomodern]

Then buy her and uncover her. Once she's yours you can do whatever you want with her.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It does seem odd to me to cover up something that isn't really prurient, given the ease with which people can see much more lewd things nowadays

[@OnwardsUpwards410]

[@s.f.8867]

I also buy odd numbers of glasses to have one in reserve. No need to hold one back if customers like me are happy with it.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's what everyone seems to agree, so I guess i'm convinced!

[@leeleescraps]

How do remember all these facts about antiques & vintage items

Not Vidalia !!I Idalia. 🤣🤣

[@karenrodgers6905]

😊

[@dreamedrealityinc]

You mentioned not understanding putting out sets of 3 and 5 glasses, but I think a set of 5 is perfectly acceptable. After all, in many asian cultures it was bad luck to have a set of 4. Set of 3 though? Definitely an odd one. Either sell it as a pair or use them as "upcycled" candle votives. Those would look lovely as candle votives with a more refined wood tone home

[@janetpogue4970]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@janetpogue4970]

[@edgecitytraders5498]

I seem to always end up with an odd number of glasses, often because I manage to break one prior to listing.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Well, two of my members said they sell odd numbers all the time, so I think I need to get over my obsession with even numbers!

[@LauraMe...]

​@@TheAntiqueNomad I just bought a new set of silverware, black because that's what we were gifted 4 years ago and we needed more pieces. Anyway...I found a replacement set with 45 pcs., but... it was a 5 piece service for 9... that should drive you completely crazy George 😂❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@LauraMe... lol no it just gives you more to look for!

[@LauraMe...]

@@TheAntiqueNomad That's the problem. We never eat at the table and silverware goes missing until we do a deep clean. Lol

[@pastexpiry2013B]

17:10 bills were stamped Hawaii in case the Japanese took over the island during WW2. If they had done that, the US government would of then simply said those bills were no longer legal tender, and so the Japanese would not be able to use the currency for nefarious means.
