[@erinnswan7063]

Both my grandparents worked at the Corning Glass works Factory. My uncle also was an engineer for Corning. It was a big part of my family.

[@LisaCates-j8i]

Fun , bet you saw bunches of stuff

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@erinnswan7063 That is a cool family connection!

[@CrochetBouquet904]

My parents are from Corning NY. My dad has a house in Gibson! This is amazing. I made a vase at the Corning museum.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh cool! I hear they let people come take classes there now.

[@VaudevilleVera]

I LOVED the set of 4 1950's kitchen tins with the red flowers! Always enjoy your videos, George!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I liked those too!

[@sondraturin9873]

Oh my gosh S&H Green Stamps brings back wonderful memories of putting the stamps in books with my granny and then going to the store with her

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My mom took me a few times as a kid too

[@karenjohnson7329]

That red Bohemian is lovely. And wow, the Glass Museum's new-to-me home is stunning!

[@laurafloyd3048]

Hi George! I was so looking forward to this video! The Corning Glass Museum is on my bucket list and I "Ahhhh"'d at the wall of Pyrex. My favorite! Thank you for yet another fantastic , informative, and fun video!❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you too! I'm glad you had fun. It's worth the trip

[@5262janna]

There were many items at great prices. Nice to see. That museum is on my bucket list

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I hope you get to visit, it's a real treat!

[@rkevghas]

I love the Red, White, & Blue Ribbon Girl- one of the prettiest I've seen!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Fun colors, probably 1940s war era rather than the 1930s pastels

[@elainereed4842]

George, your flower on the canisters, are Gladiolas!😊 Cute pieces!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I should know that too, I love them in real life! Thank you

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. The S & H Greenstamps ashtray interested me. For some reason, I'm drawn to that brand. I like the Safe Home Match crate. The celluloid box would've had to come with me. I spotted the sail, on an old pond boat, next to the plastic model kits. I'd have had to check it for price. Did you get the email I sent you about the Mt. Meadow Dairy milk bottle? I liked the bottom of the table that was behind the anvils. You got a fantastic deal on the Czech vase. I'm more into porcelain vases, especially Czech ones, but that was a pretty one. A lot of great items there. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! I know what you mean, S&H was so ubiquitous that I notice it whenever it pops up now. The match crate was great because it was early and good graphics. The pond boat was $185, I think? I did not seem to get your email, I'll check on that, I usually do. $12 was too good a buy to pass up the Czech vase, I like both glass and pottery from there! Glad you had fun with this one

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad There are still a couple things here mom got using S & H Green Stamps, and I think there are still some of the stamps here. I would've had to pass on the pond boat 😬😅 I can resend the email. Oh yes, $12.00 on that vase was a steal, for sure.

[@juliejems555]

I've never seen the corning Christmas pattern. Thanks for showing it.🎉

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi there My friend, George 😊 Hope u are well and happy !!! I will be waiting patiently! Hope to join you ! 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm happy to hear from you! 😊

[@bettyrue5780]

Holy cow! HOW do you know all this stuff? You're not that old! Facinates me that you can just go from piece to piece and the info just rolls off your tongue. Amazing.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I got into this in my early 20s, so I've been at it awhile

[@DeniseLitaker-n8h]

My mother and I went there with another family. We saw glass blowing. Also went to a winery and did shopping. This was 1968!!! 😂

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wow! I hadn't been in 30 years myself.

[@ruthw1079]

The Corning museum of Glass also has a KZbin page where you can watch artist creating glass art. They post almost weekly... Where you can watch things being created.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Their website is really great in general

[@doyeworrell1680]

Thanks George, I always enjoy your antique mall videos, I learn something new every time. 😊

[@erinnkemp]

Pattern red trim would be cute for Christmas dinner table❤❤Those are Amaryllis flowers on the tin. Fyi😉

[@michelleraney3577]

Another great video!!

[@katbunniekat1962]

I like that antique store! Lovely items! Looked like alot of fun! I'd love to see the museum someday! Great show George!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! It was fun, I'm glad you enjoyed it too

[@chriswalker6826]

Enjoyed ur excursion!

[@pammywhammy3521]

Thanks George!❤

[@maryd9331]

This vudeo was exceptionally fun for me! I know you were looking for true antiques, but this was definitely mt speed, and I learned a lot!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm glad you had fun, so did I!

[@sarahj.5970]

Such a wonderful video and needed fabulous good time George...thank you...such lovely fun and afforfable things...thank you!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Glad you enjoyed it! I did too

[@sarahj.5970]

@@TheAntiqueNomad thanks so George.

[@sarahj.5970]

I still have a few items in my kitchen from S and H green stamps...just been swamped so good to be here...I love how you share and educate and just how you do things...this is one that i am sharing with my siblings..lots in this one they love too.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

How cool! Great to see you again, I'm glad you're able to spot things they'll like too! Thank you for sharing

[@tamarrajames3590]

Thanks for sharing, it’s been too long since I visited Corning.🖤🇨🇦

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It had been for me too, I need to come back and tour the museum again, it's so much bigger now!

[@rubywingo6030]

14:20 😂😂😂😂😂😂 made my day!!!

[@cecoya]

What a museum and by Corning too. Wow, one day I will see these places in person. Right now only in my dreams. lol Amazing even if not everything is antique it is still pretty to look at. Happy Holidays and have a great day

[@ruthw1079]

I have a 8 piece place setting, full set, of Corelle Callaway pattern that I still use daily. I absolutely love Corelle, because it's a lot lighter weight than pottery dishes. Within the last year I also discovered Macbeth Evans Petalware in Monax (white). I got a bargain, 12 place settings, with a few pieces missing for $55... I am still hunting for 12 of the two-handled bowls, and 5 coffee cups, along with some serving pieces. It's absolutely gorgeous to me.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like Petalware! The Corelle patterns are getting very popular again with RV drivers and older people who want to downsize and want quality without heft

[@pennykeeling41]

Thank you!Very fun video!! My favorite was the big wall of Pyrex!! How cool!! PS: I don't speak any foreign languages but I think I'll listen to one of your videos in the new dif languages just to listen to it! I think that'll be fun!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm curious to see it too!

[@virginiacaston1456]

My dad grew up with and was friends with Al Kaline in Baltimore. 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's cool!

[@randolm7698]

Some years back I donated all of my 'modern' dishes to Goodwill for vintage Corelle Blue Onion. They're thin (great for storage space), indestructible and in my opinion timelessly attractive. Like the mouse-trap they basically nailed the perfect everyday dish design.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They really did!

[@debhannon6800]

Great video 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks for watching!

[@YvonThriftyRich]

another great video Thank You

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Aww thanks! It was fun

[@Sass-Glass]

Hey George! As usual i was late showing up for chat. Liked the video. Love seeing the glass of course. Cant wait for April 2025! I really need to go. Lots of changes in my booth! Less is more. See ya later. As always, be safe.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, I'm excited to do it too! I also need to bring a little less and a little better, we all evolve that way over time

[@james7972]

Hi george.... The flute is a Bundy student flute....pads,pins and oiling. Def. Needed

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, they're pretty basic and would need all that, but still probably cheaper than buying new

[@maryd9331]

Unfortunately, Anchor Hocking, who currently makes Corningware and Correlle, is closing their plant in Charleroi, PA, near Pittsburgh, resulting in jobs lost.

[@LisaCates-j8i]

So sad😢

[@teresagarcia437]

Yes very sad😔

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, it's hard to compete with offshore production these days

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

Hi, Just want to throw another comment log on the fire ❤ I went to the AA Imports Website....yep...that is bad news. And the current crop of imitation antiques is just the newest crop.....the waves of past fake-wares pollution are not documented...all the junk made and brought in, in the name of fun retro faux antique decor. What a MAD world! Ay yi yi

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad you went and know where to look though! It will protect you from making mistakes. Their old catalogues are paper, you can sometimes find them online or read reviews of the fakes in the old Kovel's Magazines

[@nancykamperman5034]

I love seeing you in NY! Corning Glass is about an hour from our home and we love visiting there. Did you see the 100+ pound Josh Simpson paperweight? So much beautiful glass there! Early Owego Antique Center in Owego, NY has two stories of antiques in an old Newberry building. Great place to visit.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It's so great! I need to go tour again, and I'll look for Owego when I get back to the area

[@LisaCates-j8i]

Love the red and white set, eventually id like an enamal table So many beautiful things ❤ty

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, it would look great on a red and white enamel table!

[@SHERRY0010]

I’d love to see that Corning museum at some point . I had no idea Pyrex made that red stripe pattern in dinner ware . Very simple , but so eye catching , and not a victim of the dishwasher . I see quite a few dishwasher damaged pieces of Pyrex in thrift stores here . Another interesting shop .

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It is a great museum! They have a Pyrex exhibit sometimes too.

[@lauraschmidt2109]

Welcome to NY George!

[@mountainbound1315]

The Corning Museum is absolutely mind blowing. Was there in 2019. Science, art glass, glass-blowing demos and classes. Endlessly interesting. BTW beware of the glazes on that old Corning and Pyrex cookware and tableware, many contain unsafe levels of lead and cadmium among other heavy metals. ☠️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I have heard that on the older Corning and Pyrex. Lead and cadmium levels that were permissible in the past don't meet new requirements.

[@sondraturin9873]

Love the Pyrex display! Im not a collector but i love to see the colorful display. I love the look of blendo too but can’t imagine always handwashing. Does anyone still play crocquet.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'd handwash the Pyrex too, it will fade if overly dishwashed. Someone must play croquet, the prices on the sets have gone up!

[@martisteele6542]

Oh, gosh, I've had a lot of that Harkerware, here with the Neverending estate I've been working on. I've had a hard time moving it.....

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I find it depends on the piece, serving and storage pieces seem to do better than the dinnerware itself

[@dtruetheeness]

Pyrex proves that color makes all the difference.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I agree!

[@pyrexmaniac]

Hope you made it to Ontario Mall Antiques in Canandaigua. I've not been there in ten years, but the co-op was always packed with super quality merchandise at very fair prices. Lots of eclectic items and a nice assortment of smalls and "bigs." Definitely worth the trip. That said, pickins are pretty slim in the Buffalo area. Clarence, NY used to be a huge antiques destination up until the 1990s, but most of the shops and markets have closed. One exception that might be worth the trip is the Kelly Schultz showroom on Main Street (Route 5/20.) It's in the eastern part of the Town of Clarence, close to the Town of Alden on the south side of the street. They still do antique markets on Sunday during spring and summer, but their main showroom is open year round. SCHULTZ carries high-end furniture and fine porcelain and artwork with high-end pricing to match. They do stock a big assortment of less costly items and are all top quality.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I hear great things about Canadaigua! I need to see it next time I'm up there. I keep thinking Buffalo must have good stuff

[@mikedina100]

Hi George! ✌️&❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi, glad you’re here!

[@tracyjames2046]

Hello George

[@hoghead2608]

That very first set of dishes you were looking at. The salt pepper shakers remind me of the same shape of the feista wear ones. Is there any connection between the two Great video.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think they were just influenced by Frederick Rhead's Fiesta designs (which in turn were influenced by Bauer's ring pattern)

[@kimballamram552]

The Houghton family, one of the political families of New York State have a long history with Corning Glass Works

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Interesting, I'll have to look into that

Do you have any recommended stores in the Syracuse area? Thanks.

Hmm, I've only shopped there once, at Syracuse Antique Exchange, and I found a really cool bar mixing device! You might see if Dom at Prime Time Treasure Hunter knows, he's from there

[@laurieboughfman5727]

@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks so much!

[@debhannon6800]

George do you feel like art glass is slowing down at all?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I think it is maturing, as markets do. People who were new to it when it resurged in 2020 now have large collections and are upgrading, so the better items are still strong but more common things are slowing. This is typical in the antique market, everything ebbs and flows! People would be well advised to collect what they like and ignore the market (unless they're resellers)

[@debhannon6800]

Hi J pogo

[@msplum3306]

Strap chair is so creepy, it shouldn’t be in a store available to anyone. 🤔🤨 The mistaken store pipeline system as if for sale - too funny. Wondering if people take items they no longer can keep to antique or vintage stores to see if store will buy it from them to reprice for their store? Some $ for owners who don’t know much about their item or don’t wanta sell online nor donate might be an option? Just wondering if the shops bought item that way? Sadly, my area doesn’t have but a couple tiny shops of older items downtown. Virginia 🇺🇸
