Thrifting for Antiques 1920's - 1940's

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh no....I forgot to show you what the Pyrex sells for! Can you believe about $150! WOW......sometimes up to $180! I better get it listed fast.

[@roslynmacarthur5495]

THAT WAS AWSOME GOOD FOR YOU .

[@Bondobaby59]

Congratulations! I love Pyrex . I have 5 refrigerator sets. Primary Colors, Pink Gooseberry, Amish Butterprint (blue), Spring Blossom and Snowflake Garland. Thanks for your videos. You’ve taught me a lot.

[@jenniferschmitzer299]

i got me some fire king and im not in the mood to sell. Came from my nan. bit really.. you all lovey on the noritake?? Thats just all.. weird. my noritake is all nk. I got me some Soone but no one ever goes there 🤣😂😂

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Your Thrift stores are awesome, we do not have any that could hold a candle to the ones you shop in. Sadly we are in quarantine again until the end of month, might be extended until end of February now.

[@stephanielewis8724]

Holy ginger snaps!

[@leirobinson3103]

My family was of the mahogany, cherry persuasion! I have my grandparents mahogany bedroom set from the 20’s or 30’s! I have never seen that blonde furniture before! Looked a little danish to me! I always learn so much from you Scott! Hope one day you will speak to your nemesis on camera!

[@evamarie6090]

I found the exact pink Pyrex in a box at an estate sale this summer. Sold in 1 week for full asking just over $150.00. I got it for $1.00. The lid was missing so I found the exact lid with a different pattern Pyrex bowl for $8.00 on E-Bay. I kept the dish and sold the pink dish with lid. That was a win~win. So glad you found that and also in minty condition as mine was.

[@brendameyer3055]

Oh my goodness. I Love the Thin man movies. ! And I would have bought the lone sugar bowl. Love the Art Deco sugar and creamer. So simple and pretty. That blonde furniture was amazing!! It’s so crazy that the furniture is so cheap. You’d never find it that cheap here in my area. ( Northwest NM).

[@tackyisme]

I wish my local thrift stores had good stuff like yours! Can't wait for the haul video! Thanks for sharing Scott!

Hi Scott- Love that vanity!! Think all goodwill are getting pricey they know many people re-sell. My sister gave me a blonde bed set for my 1st apt!

[@sevo166]

Hi Scott, it’s 3am in the morning in the Uk (London) . I seem to wake up most nights around this time...😩 I then go down to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. Then look forward to watching you do your “thing”☺️... you always put a smile on my face, I’ve learned so much from you.!. I better try and get back to sleep. Thank you again . And goodnight for now 😘❤️

When l was selling furniture, blond was the big fad. I used to drool everytime l went to work just looking at the new finishes. To bad l couldn't afford any of those lovely items. But such is life.

Your so adorable! Thank you for posting during these difficult times. Give Salem a kiss!

[@winkingowlantiques3422]

So glad you jumped ahead and got the Pyrex! I did the same thing last week, and jumped ahead of my nemesis at Savers. He proceeded to basically run, to catch up to me, and reached over my head to grab something. Luckily it wasn’t anything good. While he was reaching for that, I got a pretty pink Mccoy vase, off of one of the lower shelves. 😁

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh NO....he was too fresh! I would smack him!

[@grinchlette]

Another great video. Your voice and content are soothing to the soul. X

Oh, I am so envious of the beautiful older furniture you find in your thrift stores. I am in Arizona and it is very rare to see furniture like that here. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

just watched part of a Myrna Loy movie today on TCM: "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House." as a teen, i had a big blond dresser with mirror. My turtle Paxton Quigley and his plastic paradise, and my gold fish and their aquarium sat on top of it. thanks for taking us shopping with you, Scott!

Oh, that snowman was so obnoxious! I enjoyed everything else - so fun to see what you see and hear your commentary!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Oh No!! That was the vanity of my deepest dreams 😣 What a perfect piece. I’m waiting to see the square based bowl in your basket. I’m thinking I will love it. P.S...My mother would have loved your words “Our family was a mahogany family” 👍♥️

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I should have sat at that vanity and brushed my hair!!!!!

[@getitvintage]

Omg that blonde furniture. I would have a very hard time leaving it, even if I don’t need it. ❤️

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Yes....it made me want to recreate an authentic 1940's dinning room!

[@alanatolstad4824]

If I recall, the only blond piece in our home in the 50's was a two-tiered square corner table, to fit between the sofa and side chair. I personally learned to not like blond wood, preferring the Queen Anne cherry.

[@dyanbuck853]

yes! My Mom has a blonde Piano...

[@theresatumidajski5219]

Wow! Good for you on getting the pink Pyrex! I have found a few odd bowls here and there but never any o the Pyrex pink. Even out here in Ca. people snatch up the good stuff! Thanks for the entertainment and education!

OMG, the Pyrex!! I almost had detached retina 😉

[@renitamcintyre1071]

What a great shop along.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thank you!

[@SandraK854]

My Mother had a blonde bedroom set...she bought it from someone, probably in the early 80's. It was such good quality.

[@samanthajo491]

@7:26 What a beautiful piece but HOLY COW THE PRICE! That’s a representation of A LOT of the stores around here all together outrageous! And they are small to medium sizes. It makes me feel like they are sending people around to check prices at their other competitors. I should have kept my mouth shut at my favorite Salvation Army because all be darned if the prices didn’t start going up on everything! Especially furniture! That’s what I miss about the north! The amount of markets I found on the side with great prices and variety amazed me when traveling back to my hometown of Bay City, MI. Just in my own hometown alone was fantastic! @14:16 When you look closer it looked just like transfer ware. Trying to look like it isn’t but not well enough! Lol @16:20 What an amazing find! That’s in beautiful condition! @20:28 WOW!!! I’ve NEVER SEEN that in pink print! It looks fantastic and what a great price!!!! And it has the lid!

[@teresawelborn1360]

What I would give to have thrift stores like you have. That pyrex dish is a big score!!! I would love to collect it but I would have to travel far to find some cheap enough..cant wait to see what you found

[@kskollections2142]

Just found your channel. Found it very interesting. I live in NJ. I wish I could find the shops that you and Crazy Lamp Lady do! All the stores around my area really suck! Mine only really sell junk. ☹️I adore vintage furniture and knickknacks! Although, I would have gotten that snowman cheerleader! He was too cute!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Well hi KS and thank you for watching!!!!!

[@evelynhearnsberger660]

I’m happy you found the Pyrex bowl! It is very pretty. It would be neat if you have a chance to meet your nemesis one day.🤓

[@l.5832]

When I was growing up, I was told blonde furniture was popular because it did not show the dust. Now I have my home in antique walnut, and I understand that rationale!

[@kathyclements8571]

Thanks for taking me shopping with you. It was fun, you should of bought the cheering snowmen, that was funny. I like that pyrex, you scored. Thanks again 💝

[@mamiebobb4173]

Danish modern. We had it when we moved into our brand new little ranch home in the suburbs in 1955. We were so cool! (btw - have you checked out all the other folks on youtube who also buy and sell these pieces? Your nemesis has probably got her own web site. She may even be talking to her fans about 'the one that got away'!)

[@lottieward6007]

I love that vanity set.

[@MrsPinkyChiChi]

That vanity is to die for! It is so large, though.

[@adrianguynn5807]

My mom said for some reason it was common in the late 40's and early 50's to sell dining sets with only one arm chair and 4 side chairs and consider it complete.

[@aaronandrews3059]

That pyrex is amazing. I was five minutes to late to Goodwill one day and this lady got a complete set of Pyrex Balloons Cinderella bowls. I could have almost spit I was so mad at myself for dragging my feet that day. You should strike up a conversation with her one day. You might become good friends and work together to take over the thrifting world. Funny story. I did that with the lady who also seemed to get the good stuff as well. Now we will go thrifting together and help each other. We also trade items that we find. She recently gave me a set of Fenton hobnail salt and pepper shakers and two Fenton Wisteria vases.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh I am so annoyed with myself when I seem someone else's cart full of awesome stuff that I would have bought if I were only a few min faster! I know the feeling.

Right? For less than $200 they could have clean lines, real wood, and quality that has stood the test of time. Unlike anything sold by IKEA.

I liked the bowl with the purple and the flowers, even when you turned it over to the ‘made in China’ sticker.

The thrift stores near you are sooo much more organized and nicer than mine here on the Treasure Coast in Florida. The shops here, mainly Goodwill look like 💩. Everything broken and no order what so ever. The prices bare all over the place, what should be high is low and versa versa. Whoever they have in the back doesn’t know anything about brands, or what has value, all a guessing game.
