BEST ANTIQUE SALE EVER! | Store closed for decades!

[@niceguy8283]

I like Josh's style he's a true southern gentleman. This was like watching American Pickers so much old cool stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@christinej2358]

I remember Josh from an interview your mom did with him. He is so interesting him with all the family and historical knowledge he shares. It’s a blessing to his family and other families that he shares so much on y’all’s videos that will be seen for generations to come. Y’all got some really nice things. Thank you for sharing!

Give Josh my thanks for participating in this video and sharing his knowledge and tales. Very entertaining!

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

I love old and traditional items.... I want a Kettle or two... I would've fought you for the rocker... I want one of the old soda bottles..... Well.... In fact... In truth.... I would have coveted having it all. What a treasure! This modern world has taken away the craftsmanship of the past. Where are the carpenters? Instead of "buying it at the store". If I was rich.... I would soon be poor again... Lol. I would buy me an old iron stove... And all the things my Meme spoke about when she was a child in early 1900s. She was born in 1904. What a fun time! Thx for sharing this! Obviously.. I missed this when y'all first videoed it.

What a great store. 5 years ago, a local hardware store had hundreds of Ball quart Canning jars-Green colored, six pack for about $3. Great deal, bought a lot. Washing them noticed they said” 100 years of American Heritage, 1913- 1915.... imagine the poor fella whose job it was at the factory setting up the molds and getting the years so wrong, and nobody caught the mistake. Take care

[@annee810]

Wow, thank for including us on this visit to see the antiques. I loved the Hoosier cabinet with the flour dispenser. Broke my 💜❤️. My husband bought me one for our farmhouse and I kept all my baking items stored in it. I made my biscuits and other baked goods on it. What a treasure it was! I loved it. Well when we move, our neighbor said he would keep it for us 'til we got settled. He sold it out from under us and never said a word. When I asked, his son said his daddy sold it. Sorry was there was a flood in shed and it was flooded. My heart still aches over it. With "friends" like that, you don't need enemies. The man has since passed away.

It's funny how all you guys have the same accent as we do in East Tennessee but when you get out in the lowlands of NC and SC, it's completely different. Kind of like when you get way out in west Tennessee, they have that long southern draw.

[@GarthDixson]

I believe in another video the gentlemen giving the tour said he was a teacher? Or was he a Principal? I hope he is still in the classroom. He is a natural at relating history. The kind of teacher you learn more from between lessons than during the formal lesson. I am somewhat of an historian myself having majored in History at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. I can picture sitting on a porch in a couple of rocking chairs talking for hours with that fella. Thanks for the video, Corie!

[@mountainliving1227]

I live the old Appalachian way like the folks here, and I absolutely love watching this channel. I taught for ten years, and just hung it up at the end of this past school year and took a job in the private sector. I said all that to say this...my way of living was not welcomed, and I was the laughing stock for the other teachers and students. None of us need to ever change, though.

[@GarthDixson]

@@mountainliving1227 I believe that public schooling in America is actually dead and they just haven't buried the body yet. With programs out there like PragerU and Hillsdale College, you will see increasing numbers of people home schooling and hopefully more voucher programs starting up that can be used for private, parochial, or home schooling. Also, The Great Courses is a wonderful company. I own at least 50 of their titles on DVD and they do a great job. Parents want education for their children not indoctrination. Scott, best of luck with your new chapter in life.

[@sherrywilliams409]

Josh mentioned that about the coke bottle. A tidbit of info. I live in Monroe Louisiana where the Biedenharn Museum is located. Even though Coca Cola was invented by a pharmacist in Atlanta GA, the first person to bottle it was Joseph Biedenharn from right here in Monroe. That was in 1894 in Vicksburg MS. In 1912 he bought the bottling franchise and in 1913 moved it to Monroe and bought a plant where he was the first person to bottle coke. Right here where little ole me lives! You can buy a coke in a glass bottle for a nickel in one of those old upright coke machines. They keep the cokes so cold!! So if you’re ever in the area go by and visit the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens. You will really enjoy the gardens. They are a sight to behold in the spring!

[@Bradwick1]

Some of those old salves in jars can be incredible miracles for sore muscles or other injuries. The stuff back then never went bad and it can't be bought today.

[@Paigey2214]

This video definitely brought back some bittersweet memories. My grandparents on my dad's side loved collected antiques, almost a little too much as it probably got to hoarding at the end. But man did they have collections upon collections of neat stuff (ironstone pottery, enamelware, decoware, old bottles, etc. you name it... they had it). But when they passed I was in my early-mid teens and of course did I care or truly cherish those things at that time? Nope. My parents had to auction it all off because they definitely didn't have any space for it, but I wish I could've kept some pieces because I love antiques and rustic items. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Is a Hoosier cabinet still a Hoosier cabinet if it's in North Carolina? There have always been lots of them here, us being so close to Indiana and, sadly, they aren't worth much here anymore. There's not much interest in old stuff here anymore.

[@joyce9523]

@@jerrym3261 yeah you just don't see them much, Unless you go to an antique shop 😊

[@jerrym3261]

@@joyce9523 Yes, that's exactly right! The really nice ones are out there, high price and been for sale for weeks but, nobody has time for the ones that need lots of cleaning and some fixing. There's a place here that buys and sells (mostly to dealers) estates of common folk and I think the last one I saw there was $20. The ones that have been stored and forgotten get disposed of pretty quickly. It's sad but, if you put a price on your time, it doesn't make sense to fix up something with so little demand.

What a great vlog post. I absolutely loved seeing so many antiques and vintage things. As far as the blue canning jars…seeing so many with zinc lids was a treat. I do have quite a few in my kitchen because they compliment all my strawberry chachkes but I am told that the jar colors tell the story of the year/years they were made. I can’t say if that is true but I too have a few green colored ones as well as the clear. I bought one at a sale one time full to the brim with buttons and the buttons were an all day event looking through them. Such fun and oh the history! Tell Mom I’m gonna be watching very closely to see if I can spot any of the things she and Dad bought in future vlogs kinda like where’s Waldo😉 I’m so happy you ladies have such soft spots in your hearts for the vintage for your generation will all too soon be the gatekeepers of the past. I miss Austin when he doesn’t peek his head in your visits but I know he too has a lot going on in his life and hope all is well with his work, fishing and soon more hunting.

Seeing that aluminum wash pan brought back fond memories of my grandmother’s kitchen. Her dish washing routine was washing dishes in the sink, rinsing them placing them on the side board to drain and then placing them in that metal pan and pouring boiling water over them to sanitize them. Sometimes they were so hot I had to wait for them to cool before I could dry them. Every dish and utensil, every meal, went into that metal pan.

What an absolute treasure of a place to look through!! How lucky you are Josh showed you around & related stories too.(He's got the most beautiful blue eyes, too!💙) The blue Mason jars are an amazing find! I loved the sideboard/bread cabinet too. The green & white paint is so pretty. And the tables are gems! I redid an ugly 70s kitchen to a red, white & pink kitchen using pieces I found at thrift. If I'd had a chance to redo another kitchen it was going to be in the 40s -50s green. Civil War treasures are going to be more scarce the crazier some people are, I hope people snatch them up whenever they can. I'm in the Harper's Ferry area, and I found on of these mini-balls on a walk here one day. There is so much buried treasure around here it's amazing. That's why I hate to see any developments going in. I wonder if Josh was able to sell all those wonderful things. Your glass pan is called cranberry I believe. The cobalt Mason jar is GORGEOUS! What a find. 💙
