ANTIQUE & VINTAGE MEET! | UTOPIA TOWN | SHOP WITH ME | RESELLING

COLLECTORS FLOCK TO SHOW | ANTIQUE & VINTAGE SHOPPING | RESALE
For two days each June, the fascinating town of New Harmony relives its utopic origins as a magnet for collectors, vintage hunters and resellers coming to the town’s annual antique show!
I’m here as the guest appraiser at the event, and since I never buy items brought to me at appraisal fairs, I have to hit the streets (and the air-conditioned shops and gymnasium) to shop the dozens of dealers who come from several states to participate. There’s a lot of fun things to see!
Come with me as we go through the town’s terrific offerings, and see what catches our eye (and my wallet) as I shop indoors and out during the few breaks I get from my appraisal work. From mid-century to 19th century, we see a lot of great antiques and vintage, find some real deals and share information about all that we see. So much fun to have antique shows again!
Here’s more of what we see at this surprisingly complete small town antique fest:
RC Cola clock, Minton pitcher, feed store advertising signs, sterling salt dips, Tiffany wax candle, ad silhouette, tobacco tags & humidor, ad pencils, galvanized well dipper, faience humidor, Currier & Ives prints, blow molds, type drawers, print blocks, bagatelle, Model Toys crane, McCoy butterfly, Heywood Wakefield spinning coffee table, rattan end tables, pirate lamp, hotel keys, Charles Bragg prints, pay phone, parking meter, galvanized double sink, concrete eagle, printer’s trays, wall hanging shelf, Order of Forester’s litho, taxi ashtray, butterfly chairs, 1920s center table, Moser vase, convertible shelf/table, Marx Jeep & trailer, Whiting & Davis mesh purse, orange Italian bead strand, Glasbake crab shells, typewriter tins, incubator, art deco wagon, churns, wainscot flour bin, Hull Corky Pig, Waterford depression glass, boot stretchers, industrial mold, black Americana books, tramp art shells, two-tone insulator, Husar D. pin, clock compact, quilts, pie safe, cafe arrow sign, corner dry sink, curry comb, doors, gym bench, ribbon rack, trencher, frogs, happy face, Red WIng cooler, Aladdin kerosene lamps, wainscot counter, plantation shutters, political memorability, shakers, linen rack, Mary Porter paintings, child’s pull cart, teddy bears, Bement pottery, etc.

One of the interesting things I saw was the cylinder pump for wells . The compact with clock was nice. George, you always know everything . Your mom must be so proud of you. Thank you, again.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My mom knows better! Lol. The compact was a good one

[@cindyjalso7642]

Wonderful history lessons! Appreciate and love listening to you share your knowledge. Thanks!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad to try to share with everyone! Thanks and hope to see you in future comments

[@SarcasticStorageStacker]

I always target antique storage units. Thats where I find the majority of gold jewelry I find in storage units.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hey there! Enjoying your channel. Storage units can be terrific, I've never known how to target them for antiques/vintage though

[@cecoya]

I remember Underdog and Polly she was always in trouble and Underdog to the rescue. lol Good memories for when life was simple. Thanks and you have a great day

[@kellymyerson7904]

That was a super cool antique show, things I've never seen before

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

There were a few new things to me too! That's part of why I love going to shows, online is great but it's so easy to get stuck in one area and not see new things

[@stephenholmes5362]

You are one of the best KZbin appraiser s out there. So much great information and your spot on with your values!! Keep up the good work

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate your support and I try to be realistic so people understand the market as I see it

[@madisonsinger2518]

Hi George, you such an interesting occupation or should I say lifestyle; yesterday my neighbor gave me a cardboard box with Treasure Craft written all over it & it had a shipping label for JC Penney; a year ago I wouldn't that nothing to me so thanks for info on T.C.; have great day

[@nemophilistnay]

If there’s a broken bead, you can crack the whole bead with needle nose pliers til it falls off, then use the slack created to re-tie one end of the string. That helps the stability of the necklace because the ends by the clasp get the most wear and you’d be getting rid of one worn end. And those trench art vases are amazing! They are embossed (repousse?) with my birth flower! I’ve never seen florals on trench art. Thank you for sharing this neatness!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's a great tip! Thank you. I really liked the trench art a lot

[@melindashahan6836]

"Gynecologist... We know what that's all about"...I was laughing so hard at that comment!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I couldn't think of anything more g-rated to say

[@lauramoonwoman]

That well pipe sure brought back memories. This was the kind of well my grandparents had way down in Stearns KY. the well itself was not the normal open hole. it was a terra cotta pipe sunk deep into the earth with a metal cap on it. built over it was an arbor like structure that held the pulley and the pipe we saw for sale here at the beginning of the video. this metal pipe was on a long rope, threaded through the pulley and attached to the other side of the arbor. when we needed water in the kitchen one of the children was elected to go fill the bucket. you would remove the cap and drop the metal pipe down the terra cotta pipe and it would make a glug, glug, glug noise as it filled up with water. once it was quiet, you would pull it back up and put the metal pipe in the bucket and pull the handle on the top of the pipe. the water would WOOSH into the bucket. A real thrill for a city kid visiting their country grandparents. Not so fond of the outhouse though.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Interesting! I never thought of it being a skinny well. That's one of those things that's fun when you don't HAVE to do it all the time!

[@Rose39M]

Thank you George! Mary Porter was an amazing artist. Looked like the candy canes were literally sticking out of the painting, as well as her other pieces. Wonderful video George, I really enjoyed it! I enjoy all your videos, don't get me wrong. Lol

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I agree! The candy canes in the glass were the piece that made me realize she was very talented

[@janebowell3985]

Loved the video, thank you, George !

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My pleasure! I sure had fun at this one

[@maryanderson3542]

[@danielclaeys7598]

I'm not one for the chat room, but I did want you to know that you are being watched. ( insert maniacal laugh here)

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi, Daniel! I get that, it's not for everyone and it can be distracting. I'm always glad to know you're there, my more knowledgable fans like you make me mindful to try to check my accuracy :)

[@danielclaeys7598]

@@TheAntiqueNomad And thanks to you also. I have watched several KZbinrs and have narrowed it down to 3 with the occasional 4th. It's a tit for tat situation when it comes to learning.

Hello my dearest darling! Lol. No worry's I ain't after anybody anymore. Too old. Great show!

Good to hear, I'm there too. Thanks!

What sweet surprises' do we have in store for this evening? Whatever it may be, I know it will be great and George will have knowledge to back it up with!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's very kind! I learned about a few new things at this one so we all got to learn something

[@george.carrasco]

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!

George!! what a great experience seeing the wares in New Harmony! Great variety and wonderful narration. Thank you!

Many thanks for your kind comment, I'm glad you had fun!

Can you hear me screaming...Royal Crown Dachshunds. Dachshund lover here.

They really were cute! They were more recent than what I usually buy but really well done.

Like the wire stand in between the big white columns. Lots of interesting items & weird stuff. Take care George.💠

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That was a good one! She sold it right at the end of the sale, I'd have liked to have it

[@micdraper3768]

Whew 😅 a lot of great things to look at. I have the President Ike’s scarf.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I really like that piece! My mom used to have it too

[@pattimercer9357]

My favourite video !!!! Loved the primitives!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

There were some nice ones! I'm appreciating them more and more

[@user-Annie65]

Very informative and interesting video!! Really enjoy the plethora of information. 👍🏻😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much! That's what I try to do in most of my videos, love to share info about all this neat stuff

[@carolzilko2643]

At 32:56, I believe that’s an Iranian brass and copper tray. Probably 1960s or early 70s. I wish I could have seen it close up. There is a huge difference between Indian Brass and Persian brass, quality-wise, and it cleans up beautifully...I’m always on the lookout for Persian brass, and things like the trays and chafing dishes look great with mid century modern furniture.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you for that help! I wasn't sure, but I had noticed that the Persian pieces I felt were identified correctly seemed less "brassy" and were heavier castings than Indian pieces.

[@carolzilko2643]

Indian brass IS heavier, thicker, than Persian brass. Persian brass is, I think, more finely detailed and intricate. The artisanship in their metals is so, so refined. Compare the two, if you can, and you’ll see that the Indian brass seems…clunkier, and not as artistically exquisite as the Persian is. I do NOT use the chafing dishes to serve food, as they are lead lined. But they look great on tables and sideboards.

[@renet.1469]

Great video, George! Thank you.😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So nice of you, thank you!

[@janetbeebe6578]

You really are well educated, thank you.

Oh, thank you! I try to help others learn what I've learned, and to learn from them in return

[@sarahj.8372]

Gorgeous mushroom piece!!!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I really am fond of that one, it's a lot older than most

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Hey George! That Blondie ring toss game was interesting. I like the old comics/cartoon items. I have one of the old printers' drawers as a shadow box, with wood spools of thread and a complete collection of the Wade Nursery Rhyme whimseys in it. I have a pair of the Blackamoor genie lamps, in the green. There was a figure from one there. I like those in the green, and the Alexander Backer genies in the green. Love that Tiffany wax lamp! Always wanted one of those glass churns. I have my great-grandmother's five gallon and my grandmother's three gallon crock churns. There was a primitive mortar and pestle there that really caught my eye. I'd have likely had to have that. That toy/mini wagon was super interesting! Great video, and a lot of interesting items there! Thanks for the take-along!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi, Mark! Aren't they great shadow boxes? I didn't know you had the Wade Nursery Rhymes, my godmother collects those. I love the Blackamoor lamps and the Backer ones as well. Yes to the wax lamp indeed! It's nice that you have the family churns still. Thank you so much for coming along!

[@FirehouseAntiquesNewHarmony]

A beautiful shopping tour of the show! Thanks for doing this. I saw many reasonably priced items which makes for a fun show for all~ Thanks again George, you always deliver on finding the best shows and shopping experiences!

We had those up on our auction the Bragg pics. The water tube was very unique!! I love the 3 pieces of furniture you bought. I love wall pockets!!!

Shame on that man because Jesus was black. that man that made that book was ignorant and obviously didn't read or know anything about Jesus.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I couldn't agree more! It's sad that the English instilled such hatred to keep the slaves and the white indentured servants from mingling (they were afraid they'd be overthrown). If people realized how racism was used by the ruling class to divide us, maybe we'd all get over it
