Thrifting in the Mountains: Finding Great Deals on Antiques & Vintage Items!

I love getting to see places in person that most people miss! St. Regis, Montana is a little mountain resort town with a fun, weird thrift store and a fun, quality antique store where lodge style and Victorian furnishings suitable for the Duttons are for sale every day!
This town is a long-established stop for me on my driving trips west, in part because they also have a lot of fun small antique and vintage items, and occasionally a screaming deal on something that doesn't fit their milieu! That's how a great Bjorn Winblad figural egg cup ends up costing $3 (and that's at the swanky big antique store), and a black basalt signed vase at the thrift shop only $8.
We don't have time for mini golf at the thrift store (winner gets 50% off?), but we take lots of time to explore "A Place of Antiques," where furniture is shelving and shelves are full of bodacious Early American beverage sets, crocks and stoneware, pastel pottery and Fiesta Ware. Pin-ups and 1920s litho prints, buttons and pinbacks, even costume jewelry...we find some deals, and see how this place continues to maintain great quality, true antiques and vintage to draw collectors from all over the Northwest to this tiny town!
We even show a glimpse into their back room where they restore and refurbish furniture on site, explaining how they've maintained such an amazing supply of solid American Victorian oak and walnut, stick-and-ball furniture, antique office and counters that would outfit a new antique store nicely. After a look at an annex filled with 1920s Monitor-Top fridges and discounted DIY antique furniture, we head down the road to our last stop in the Rockies, where millions of dollars await us!

George, this video was way too short. I could spend an entire day in that shop. Looking at antique furniture is my JAM! As well as you, I fell completely in love with the wolf lamp. I am often a lone she-wolf howling at the moon. I will probably watch this video 5 times. Thank you so much George. You truly are simply the best!

[@jeaniewalters4709]

I absolutely loved seeing the furniture. I wish I could afford a house full of it.

[@user-xd2ky4it8m]

Me too, I'd never buy new if it's over 20 bucks

I wish I could wander through a shop “with” you every day! The wood pieces with curved glass are so beautiful! Thank you!❤

[@billymishoe8578]

Fills like it was yesterday. I spent 35 years restoring that type of furniture and many others. enjoyed everyday of it. But my body and mind is just like the sign you showed. House is still full of a lot of my favorites. And they seem to be holding up a lot better than I.

[@lisaday1660]

George, i love how you can be all business and educate us, but still make me laugh out loud by jumping in a cutout and being silly!!! Great video, such beautiful pieces!!

[@christinaapplegate5281]

What a fantastic antique store. Thank you for taking us along on your travels. ❤

[@yvonnesangster2934]

My daughters father-in-law loves, antiques and loves to thrift and sell on eBay. He did not know about the Antique Nomad on KZbin! He watches KZbin, so I introduced him to your channel. I had him watched this episode, and he loved it!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's so great, thank you! I'm always happy to get to share with someone new who loves what we love

[@CartoonForFood]

Thank you George. I always look forward to your next video. I learn something new with each episode. By the way, your genuine kindness is very much needed in today’s world.

As a fan of old, brown glorious furniture this was a special treat. The salesman sample sideboard was adorable, can imagine that with giant dolls.

Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole that is the world’s fairs? The Chicago Columbian exposition is particularly intriguing

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! There was a kerosene pump in front of that shop that I liked. Those barrister bookcases always make me wish... I like the oak ones that have darkened with age best. That oak sideboard, with the lion's head, was fantastic! I have a hen and rooster set like the one on the shelf with the Tiffin black glass vase. They were my grandmother's. Those Wavecrest pieces were really pretty. I really like Wavecrest. Loved all those old keys. I was a little surprised at the price on the "Grape and Cable" berry set. That pattern doesn't bring that anymore, from my experience. There is just so much of it available. I've had several of those German pipes. They all had different decorations on them. I don't even have one now. I'd love to have that salesman's sample sideboard! That thing was fantastic! That was a beautiful mantle that sold. All those silver dollars made a crazy cool display! Fun trip! Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like the dark oak barristers the best too, and that lion's head sideboard would be mine if I had a Victorian home to set it in place! I am a big Wavecrest fan and thought those prices were accessible, I do agree with you that they were lofty on the Grape and Cable set though. I sold all my German pipes and will have to look for more! The salesman's sample...what a neat piece that was. I'm glad you had fun with me!

[@SuzMBooth]

Some of the old toasters have really great Art Deco engraving and shapes.

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

I used to drive up to Montana every summer for about a decade and would sometimes stop in St Regis but I never went to the antique store! I was always in too much of a hurry (so typical of me 😊) They really do have some lovey furniture. Great video George. And that is a beautiful drive ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

No thankfully

[@lynnmcnamara5380]

I love the old oak furniture.

[@katbunniekat1962]

Love all that old furniture! Wow!

[@cecoya]

Learned something else too, Peace dollars and Eisenhower dollars coins. You never really hear about them but the Peace dollar was minted in 1921-1935 and was silver, the Eisenhower dollar was minted in 1971-1978, 2021 for collectors. The only silver Eisenhower dollar was in 1972. How interesting. Have a great day

[@stacyola]

I have that McCoy bowl. I purchased it at Kmart, when I worked there, in 1979. I don't remember what I paid but it was on sale during their dollar days sale. That was 44 years ago. Wow!

[@joannejohnston3996]

My father had a refrigerator like the one you showed, it had the legs and all except I don't remember having the motor on top like that. It had the cord and he used it for extra things like drinks. After he passed and Mom was going into assisted living, I'm thinking late 80's or 90's we decided to just get a dumpster and throw so much away. We had a FREE sale, not advertised, just the neighbors and whoever heard word of mouth. The refrigerator was put out front outside the fenced in yard with a free sign on it. Took a few days and someone took off with it the middle of the night. I would have loved to have it, but no room for in it my small house, and brothers the same problem. We all laughed thinking how heavy it was and them picking it up.

[@joannejohnston3996]

This was in the north end of Seattle!

[@dlday7821]

How fun that place is. You could spend at least a day there.

I so so want to get our shop open in NH, we have land and a building on Rt. 9 in NH. Maybe time to stop the flea markets for a bit and sell off some of our collections and focus on opening up. Being a woodworker would love to be setup like this shop and fix furniture all day. 💰 always the issue. ✌🏼💚

[@laraemitchell9064]

I somehow missed this video for a few days, but I REALLY enjoyed this store. I love the region, although I’m less familiar with Montana than I am with Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Oregon. At 15:05 - stunning design on the turquoise colored candle holders and console bowl. Love the graceful shape there. And the color. Lots of impressive oak furniture. If I ever would have a goldmine fall on me from a rainbow, it would be so fun to buy an old Victorian mansion to restore and furnish with these types of things. Id call you and Laura Caldwell to help me. Probably Selina vintage Bombshell, too
