Thrifting for Antiques is Fun!

[@juliealtman9176]

Hi Scott! I've been catching up on some old videos. Thanks so much for all the great entertainment and education. I was surprised to see the Fire King soup bowls. The Shell Peach Luster soup bowls came in 2 styles. Those were the rare flanged ones similar to RW flanged soup. I think you could have made decent money😊

[@celeste_2083]

Ooooo so entertaining...loved the dancing ladies ...i only taped my foot i was in the car ..if in my kitchen i .....

There's just something so special when you decide to *surprise and sprinkle in* the Match Game tune into your videos. Love love love watching your channel. Thank you for all you do, Scott from the Old Curiosity Shop!

I loved the Doris plates. The etched glass at end of video was gorgeous, I think the flower is snowshoes.

Could be a bellflower. So pretty!

Hi Scott. I agree about the figurine overload since it's not my area of interest. However, I did find a pair of Meissen figurines at a thrift shop. They DID come home with me. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

WOW Meissen!!!!!!

Nice video Scott...thanks!

My father was both a mechanical engineer and a chemical engineer. In the late 70s/early 80s he bought a handheld Texas Instruments scientific calculator. Don't remember exact price, but it was around $700 or $800, which was very expensive then. He was so proud of it and it saved him hours of work! He would be totally amazed to know that now everyone can do scientific calcultions on a phone app. He would be 105 if still living today.

I’m just getting to the vintage of the 1920 to 1950.so much to learn and you are a huge help, thank you

[@whatanitemare]

The elegant glass stem is definitely a lily of the valley. You can tell from the leaves just as much as the flower. With regards to polishing up the silver on your glass...... I used to work silver and spent a lot of money on various silver polishes. The best I've found to date is one called Peek. (can be purchased on Amazon or in Canadian Tire in Canada) It's a non abrasive cream that's easy to use, does no damage to surrounding materials, and wipes off clean, leaving an amazing shine that also protects from further tarnish. As a bonus, it works just as well at removing black utensil marks from coffee cups and Pyrex. Not abrasive like Barkeepers friend.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

The amber stem is actually #405 "Double Columbine" by Tiffin. A subscriber found a picture of it in her Tiffin book. I wish I had a set of 8!

LOL! The 70’s kitchens! I didn’t care for them then, being a just a little kid, but now that I look at them being in my mid-fifties, I wonder how ANYONE that that was remotely attractive! 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

I really do enjoy thrifting with you. So calm, sense of humor thrown in and well placed 70’s sarcasm. 👏👏👏👏

[@LindaFoyle]

It's like me. I don't understand way people paint over beautiful old furniture, when it's beautiful just policed!?!

[@rickeydonald4756]

In 1958 our home had coordinating turquoise GE appliances. The refrigerator/freezer was a three section wall mounted cabinet design.The stove was a counter top drop in model. The oven was separate and mounted into the kitchen cabinets. In 1983 I rented a carriage house with the same turquoise kitchen installation, including the turquoise metal cabinets. Then came the 1970s with avocado green, harvest gold, and two tone copper and brown. That is when true trauma was inflicted upon my color palette. I have never recovered. It is called post traumatic design disorder (PTDD).

OMG, I absolutely love the green plate with silver gilding! Great finds!

[@natashasemrau3670]

I loved the 70's kitchens. The kitchens with bone colored floors looked washed out. Nakid ladies dancing are showing off their freedom from nasty girdles. I love the 20's because of the furniture, Art Deco, and the clothes. Also the interiors of the buildings were so classic with marble, and rich surfaces. Oh well thank you for taking us along on the shopping trip.

Nasty girdles!

[@natashasemrau3670]

Nasty, repressive, sexist girdles, Mr. Scott. Back before trans fats and corn syrup those women were tiny, very tiny! You are so right about most kitchen' s are in seventies colors. When l worked as an lnfearior designer l saw many sixties kitchens too. But l was working in the 80's, so that might have been why. All those shades of green and yellow just so hard to match. Ok enough of that. Thank you for Highlighting my comment!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐤🐤🐤🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚💚💚💚🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🐤🐤🐥🐥🐤🐤🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

I would give anything to go back in a time machine to my 1970s childhood and apartment. we had all original porcelain fixtures in the bathrooms..stuff that is selling for tons of money on eBay. And we had all that decor in the photos that you showed. I loved it all.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I will admit, 70's kitchens were indeed much warmer and more inviting than the cold cold stark black, gray, white and stainless steel kitchens of today.

That stem glass was beautiful Scott and I love amber .... that might’ve been something from princess house!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

I really liked the Depression tid-bit tray, with the fleur de lis handle, but would have no use for it. Painting that silver plated coffee pot, with that disgusting chalk paint was criminal. I would've had to have bought it and stripped that mess off it, just to rescue it! The sterling overlay Depression plate is great!

[@ksk5664]

haha One of your kitchen shots had my Grandmother's stove in it. I had to rewind and look again because it was so nostalgic. :)

[@debraray7226]

The green and silver plated dish just beautiful. The last glass with the brown stemware in the clear-cut top with the etched flower looks like a bleeding heart. . That glass is absolutely gorgeous! I would Have taken it home also. I can't for the life of me understand why everyone Chalk Paints everything vintage. I could somewhat understand some pieces that are totally damaged and there is no redeeming them. I'll give them that. Oh well to each his own.

The flower etched on that lovely glass is a Leucojum - or more commonly known as a "snowflake". They are grown from bulbs like Daffodils, and bloom in the spring.

I really like the old clear glass tumblers that have gold around the rim and a grape pattern white raised design. I have several and I see them all the time. I think I saw some on the shelf here. They are Bartlett Collins.

[@theagingbeginner]

The amber glass is maybe an ice cream sundae glass.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I'm wondering if the elegant silver plated teapot was used for an event (like wedding decor, or party scape) or for a play or something. I guess you could fairly easily remove that paint, since the teapot isn't that valuable anyway, you could try if you really liked it and just wanted it because of the form (I say "you," but, of course, I mean "someone") for personal home decor... or even to use as a teapot!

that is *not* lily of the valley. lily of the valley flowers are small and run along a stem. it looks a lot like snowdrops, but here's the kicker: snowdrops are bell shaped flowers *but* their stamen is not visible when looked at from the side. your flowers clearly have visible stamen when looked at from the side. i looked up natural flowers yesterday and could not find one like yours. perhaps the creator took artistic license and put stamens in where they don't exist in nature. :-)
