I had that candle making kit when I was a kid. I made the owl for my mother. She collected owls back in the day. The pigments were just paint to paint the candles. It didn’t adhere well to the wax. I used old crayons 🖍️ to color the wax.

Hi George, This was a fun video. I loved seeing what is selling in Canada. Also, I just wanted to mention that Scott from The Old Curiosity Shop on KZbin is a reseller who buys and sells lots of 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s coffee percolators and such. He cleans them and actually brews a cup of coffee in them to make sure they are properly working before he lists them for sale. He also picks up vintage cords, for older appliance’s to have extras on hand. In case one of your viewers may be trying to locate one. 💖💞💖

You found Buckingham Palace and the British Parliament in brass. I haven't seen those before. I used to shop at the Richmond Store from time to time as my husband's brother lives there. Harder and harder to find good British goods, as the older folks are passing on, and the population is primarily Asian and Indian now and they want the bright shiny new things.

Who won? Value Village won, although the magazine rack/end table was a great find. They're called Savers where I live, but i call them $pender$ because of their prices and transportation costs. The last times I was through there was zero useful vintage for resale and barely OK prices for personal use stuff. After spending nearly as much on gas as on stuff, I haven't been back. Others I know elsewhere do better, but they live close enough to go almost daily and first thing in the morning.

@@TheAntiqueNomad Excellent video, and I learned a lot, as usual. There is certainly a lot of Johnson Bros., Sadler, and "Made in India" up in the Vancouver area. I was interested to see you look at the blue glass piece - I have the very same one and also have been unable to identify it. You got a great deal on the small side table/cupboard - I have found that the Salvation Army here in Vancouver puts significantly higher prices on furniture. And, yes, I think Value Village does a lot of silver 925 jewellry. P.S. For Mid Century Modern the store in Vancouver is Refinds on Main Street. Bart there is terrific. But you may find it hard to find a bargain there - MCM is molten HOT in these parts!

Good evening, George. Value village had some really good prices. I liked the Peter Rabbit child's plate. I spotted some Scooby Doo figures in one of the bags. That bag would've likely had to come with me. That was a steal on the 1930s piece, with the magazine rack on it, and it looked to be in fantastic condition. From the items I saw, I'd have to go with the Canadian store. That was a fun comparison!

You have a good eye, someone just asked me for Scooby Doo stuff and I just missed it! Canada won for me, but I’d have felt differently if I’d found the silver that my viewer did instead. I might have to keep the end table! I’m glad you enjoyed the comparison, I sure had fun doing it

Enoch Wedgwood (1813-1879) was an English potter, founder in 1860 of the pottery firm Wedgwood & Co of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. He was a distant cousin of the famous potter Josiah Wedgwood, of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons but their two businesses were separate concerns. Enoch Wedgwood became a partner in the firm of Podmore Walker & Co, originally founded in 1834 by Thomas Podmore (1791-1860) & Thomas Walker of Tunstall. Following the death of Thomas Podmore in 1860, Enoch Wedgwood inherited a share in the interests of the business left to him by Podmore. The firm carried in under the name of Wedgwood & Co. In later years Wedgwood & Co was renamed Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd in 1965 and in 1980 it was taken over by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, who renamed it Unicorn Pottery.
