That place looks incredible. I loved the old fireman’s piece. There is a fire museum and they have a huge collection of those. You can never have too many coasters , so great pickups. I really love the gold painted porcelain you picked up. Great video, Patrick!

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

I could see that firewagon in your apartment! I bet even Louie couldn't destroy that piece! Thanks for watching

[@vintageandvinyl]

@@TrustyHucksterMercantile Oh man, that would be cool in my space. Louie would not help preserve it, LOL.

Cool royalty bowl!

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

well, at least I have a new term to research! If you know any more about them let me know! Thanks for watching

Oh I need to stop there again! I only made it down 3 aisles. I found a ton of vintage papers for my journals. I'm really liking the Pickard. I've never saw that before you showed it. It's really pretty.

I can’t wait to visit Thrift and Dollar the next time we fly out to Chicago.

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

definitely worth the trip to the western suburbs!

[@craftyjacki5046]

Hey, Trusty! I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I always learn interesting things from you. I absolutely loved that store when Ron and I came out. I'm hoping to get out that way this summer for a day or two. Always fun to thrift in new spots! Or old favorites 😉. Great visit!

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

I'll answer to anything! Glad you're feeling better! It's a great destination area and could be a destination store!

[@normajeanplusone9772]

No wonder I can’t find any decent coasters, they are all at the Thrifted Dollar. 😀 I too, look for cards and I love to find vintage cards to use for my package toppers.

Hey Patrick! Do you sell from your videos or just from your live sales! Just interested in your Disney plate. 😁

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

I'll always sell from my videos! Just send me an email for what you'd like! Thanks for watching.

[@RebelJunque]

Hey Patrick, great video, thanks for taking us thrifting with you ;) I looked for just a minute to see if I could help with your porringer. I sent you a message on Instagram with a link that might be a piece of the puzzle. Take care.

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

Thanks for the tips! Every little bit helps. This is the stuff I love! Thanks for watching the video

[@michelledekker7654]

Norman Brumm plate is a great find. There's 1 listed, same pattern, for $30.00. I love his work. My Mom had one of his bird plates but I don't know what happened to it. Are you going to list that on Ebay? The William & Mary piece is interesting. The college colors are green, gold and white so the blue makes me believe it's not a college collectible.

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

that's a good point about the green and yellow. I think you're right that if it were a William and Mary College piece it would have embraced those colors. Thanks for watching

Ha. This past week I seriously considered going to that bargain place next to thrift and dollar... and you know I couldn’t have stayed away from T&D... but I only had a couple hours and knew I couldn’t have gone to both so I didn’t go to either 😂

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

it's a struggle. I almost always end up there until they close. Then I get in line with a full cart of glass. Not sure they like me much!!! Thanks for watching

[@TrustyHucksterMercantile]

Remember when you visit the bargain place it matters which day you go. Very different experience on Friday and Saturday when they are adding inventory. Crap on Tuesday when it’s all been picked over 😂. Cheaper on Tuesday but less you’ll want. You won’t understand why it’s so popular if you go on a clearance day.
