It's a nutbowl. There should be a wooden hammer for cracking nuts on the metal piece. My great grandparents had one.

[@lazer2365]

Probably caused some arguments. Great-grandma's having a snooze and great grandpa decides to crack a few nuts...

[@TheBargainBoxer]

Facts. Working in a pawn shop you see all kinds of nuts (and flakes). Oh, you mean the furniture…….

[@UrBasicGuy]

I concur, a walnut bowl was my first thought after getting a look at the center piece.

[@roberttaylor5559]

you could use it to juice friut.

[@verygreedy100]

I was thinking this as well!! Great

[@hustlinghard8081]

That is a walnut / pecan bowl. The top textured piece is to place the nut on and hit it to crack it.

Yup. This comment needs more likes to move it to the top

Pete, the secret to your success is you're truly a "people person". Your interactions with your customers are genuine and you're upfront about everything. Olivia.

[@coololdluke3905]

Loose screws? Remove screws, stick some toothpicks in hole. Dip toothpicks into some hide glue first then fill hole and cut off excess for a smooth flush surface and let dry. Then screw the screws back in. (The toothpicks will fill hole with wood so they have something to bite into.

[@adamadamson8013]

Rest In Peace Olivia. If you’re getting too much stuff than you can handle I would totally move out there to work for you. Just a dream from a random stranger. I love your videos.

[@marcmiller789]

To fix the screw, 1st remove screw, 2nd insert toothpicks into hole and cut flat with surface, 3rd reinstall screw. Also you can clean records by having it turn on turn table, spread wood glue while it's spinning with a squeegee, becareful not to get glue on the label. Let glue dry and then you can peel it off in one piece. It gets everything out of the grooves of the record and the record will sound new.

[@johniwan1]

1910 to 1920 on the table....candlestick telephone and the box was for notepaper and pens/pencils....or an ipad, charger and cables. These people were ahead of their time.

[@pickyricky820]

The table looks like something a restaurant would use when you walk in, menu holder etc

[@BarabooTycoon]

I've seen these tables before. I was told by a few people that they are Victorian calling card tables. The flat area would sometimes have a silver tray where visitors would leave their card when someone wasn't home, and the homeowner would leave their calling cards in the compartment area. That is what I've been told, but I'm not sure its true.

[@garywatt4546]

Olivia. A truly great Australian! R.I.P. 🇦🇺

[@tedwatson1743]

I think that the table is for a phone, and the drawers are for note paper and pens--possibly ink bottles if it's old enough.

[@lazer2365]

It certainly looks like that, but it's curious that the box is hinged in a way that it would be awkward to get something out while using the phone. If the box was hinged the other way, it would be much easier to get a pen or paper while using the phone.

[@tedwatson1743]

@@lazer2365 It's probably for something that we in 2022 have no concept of but makes perfect sense at the time it was made. Agreed the drawers opening the wrong way don't make sense.

[@fatballsakagrandpa3697]

That is a telephone stand or a telephone table my grandmother had one of those by the wall where the Phone was and hers actually had a little seat that came with it and you could sit next to it

[@rojabuckingham9034]

Olivia!!! My hero as she referenced gay men in a positive and silly (and safe) way in her "Lets get physical" video (at the end). I was afraid to be gay at that time with AIDS and super amounts of hate. I was just a kid at the time and she was a positive role model who accepted people. She was remarkable.

[@BEARTRAP037]

Olivia was the first 45 I purchased back in 1975 with the single being 'Have you been mellow' she will be terribly missed, her music will live on forever as well as her memory.

[@DavidInSugarLand]

Here is an easy record cleaning solution recipe. Combine 4 parts distilled water, one part isopropyl alcohol, and a few drops of dish detergent. Stir these together gently. It is best to use distilled water in order to avoid some of the impurities that can be found in tap water. Avoid spraying on the label (or wipe off immediately).

[@kevinmilley7541]

I'm going to assume that there wasn't a purchase on the baseball artist's work...he was a real throwback and quite a character...thanks for including him in the video...:)

[@neotripzz]

OLIVIA !, She was a legend... I remember my father showing me Xanadu when I got older. That movie was such an overlooked masterpiece.

[@MilePost106]

I found a picture exactly like that bowl you had. Made by Parsons and it’s a nut bowl with the anvil in the middle as it was described.

[@encarn]

That's exactly what I was thinking it could be. Guess you used a small maulet to break open the nut?

[@thedoxinator3934]

6:10 I think that was a nut holder , peanuts , walnuts etc…we had one when I was a kid.. OLIVIA

[@xx7secondsxx]

Yup you had it! For the cigars and for and ashtray. The common stogies would be in there and the nice ones for distinguished guests would be pulled from the humidor. Usually had initials on it.

I remember those trolls from my childhood! I love that Honey got on the box after you bought the dolls. 😻 You all are so kind and patient. Pete my Dad had a magic formula to clean his vinyl too. 💙 Could that little table be for writing? Put envelopes and paper in the slots? Now that bowl that really has me stumped! Could it have been for nuts and you cracked them on the top of the metal? Can't wait to find out!

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

Its because the economy is collapsing. people are really hurting for money.

[@KenSilvers]

It's a telephone table... back when the tele was a round base with microphone atop, and you'd hold the earpiece. The phone would sit atop table and the box contained pencils and paper for folks to take notes. These were in hotel lobby's, doctors offices, some restaurants.

[@majurbludd]

Thats my guess for the table as well.

Olivia was such an icon. for that black bowl, it looks so much like a salsa/dip bowl, but I can't figure out what the middle part is for, the acid of the salsa would explain the tinting. The antique table is possible a candle table as others have said, or it's a sewing, knitting table, something to hold your part and some items while you are on chair next to it.
