Treasure Hunt! What is inside Colorado's largest Antique mall?!?

Today I visit the largest antique mall in Colorado!
what treasures will we find today?!?

[@jessmattina2430]

Steve seems like such a nice guy and I am so happy for the both of you to have met. It is such a feel good story and how fun that you, Steve, and Heather can all spend some time together. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@deannedflrocks5337]

Two brothers wearing the same smile and chuckle. Sister Heather has a handful in brothers. So exciting and nice seeing siblings united. Adults back in the day went about things wrong. Took 26 years to meet my big sister, we love each other and still get upset that our parent's kept secrets that kept us apart.

[@sylviahoffman9440]

Same here. I heard about my half-siblings with my dad's 2nd marriage from my grandma when my siblings were teenagers, but they didn't find out me until my dad was dying of cancer, 20 ys later, he finally told them. We all met that year (2 ys before Dad died) and my husband noticed our family "ticks" almost immediately. My niece loved having a "bonus Auntie".

[@laurielynn1699]

Your brother has the nicest friendly smile. So pleased to see how well your visit is going.

[@kindheartmcgee1271]

Alex I really like your Brother. He has got the ultimate free smile. Congrats to you both

[@Randy8923]

Nice antique mall. Love the globe swinging clock. No snakeskin head for me, Thank you! Enjoyed.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

It's fun to see you out of town, but in your element. Thanks for taking a few thousand people along!

[@luanamcdonald1243]

Alex all I could think after watching you and you brothers sit down talking about meeting each other was how very proud your dad would be of you! You carrying on the memories he would have shared with both Steve and Heather literally made me cry. You keep showing us what an exceptional man you are. Your parents did some things very right in raising you I am sorry that your siblings didn't get to meet their dad however they really got great addition with you. God bless you all in the years to come.

[@12345directioner]

Your brother Steve looks like he’s having so much fun with you and you with him! Nice that you have a lot in common, enjoy seeing more of the family on the channel. - Seriously, you know that’s the wrong windscreen!

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

I agree ! Having siblings is good. Not all are as fortunate.

[@rita1259-y5c]

Brother Steve's a real cutie! Glad you guys are getting to know one another!

[@_JanetLouise]

That was fun! Thanks Alex, really appreciate the info ....

[@OitsU613]

Crazy you were down the street from my house. I-70 & Kipling area. It's a pleasure to see you and Steve enjoying each other's company!

[@katwitanruna]

So glad you and Steve had fun!

[@marycoffee7366]

I moved back to Colorado this Spring. Brass Armadillo is at the top of my ‘to visit ‘ list. Now I must get there sooner rather than later👍 thanks Alex

[@debbienewton6261]

I go to the 2 in Arizona when I am traveling…the larger one is right off the 10 in Goodyear. I wish every antique store was so easy to navigate!

[@jaenmartens5697]

Great Antique Mall!!! major pass on the snakeskin head tho. Very enjoyable. Thank you!

[@kerrylynnparsons9441]

Well that was an interesting jaunt with your brother!!! 😁❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦

[@kscheuerman5378]

That was fun Alex, thanks for taking us along

[@vickimaddox8711]

Great finds . The clock is something I've never seen.

[@alicehh9194]

Hi Alexander! My husband and I lived in the metro Denver area for ten years and went many times to visit the Brass Armadillo! We are now back in St Albert, but loved sauntering through all the aisles at not just the Armadillo but many other antique shops as well. This brought back many happy memories…thanks for sharing! Enjoy the rest of your stay in Colorado and look forward to the next adventure when you get back home 😁🥰

[@karenswartz8280]

You’re right about the Featherweight’s. My mom was an avid seamstress and quilter, and when we held her estate sale, we found she had 7 of them. My sister and I each kept one, and the rest were sold in a bidding war of sorts, between 3 different collectors attending the sale. They sold for $2100! I was stunned!

[@karlanorvell9573]

I go to the Brass Armadillo all the time. It's a great antique mall. So surprised to see that you were in my neighborhood.

[@Symnson1]

Thank you for stopping in to our store! I am the person/GM that you spoke to before filming. Love the video! Please stop back anytime!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for allowing me to visit! Great shop :)

[@deliciouslyodd1966]

Fun place! I bought a beautiful mirror and some antique bottles here when I lived in Colorado

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Interesting things in the antique shop.

[@bobbipetty7411]

We have a Brass Armadillo in Des Moines Iowa too. Great place to spend the afternoon with your new found brother.

[@victoriasanchez1111]

Glad that you made it to one of Denvers great assets, the Brass Armadillo.I shop here often when I am doing a retail or Airbnb staging project. Love their great sales. One is coming up on September 3,4 and 5.

[@catty2chatty]

Nice antique mall. You can tell right at the start that Steven was in his element :) I have an old Featherweight in it's original case and in excellent condition. I rarely take it out, but it works great.

[@VintageLPs]

Had to laugh when you described how small the first t.v. screens were. I have a huge flat screen in this room but I am watching you on my iPad screen which is comparable to that 1949 t.v. I also use the iPad to watch the few t.v. shows and movies that interest me while the three big flat screens in this house barely get used. In fact, I may have the cable turned off permanently one of these days. 🤣 Also, happy to see that Singer Featherweight (poor condition) going for $450 because I started collecting them in 1985 and have 13. I paid $69 for the first one and $200 at most. My retirement account.

[@debmacdougall9744]

You and your brother have the same sparkle in your eyes 👀, so cool

[@SwirlingSoul]

I will never ever get enough of going on a pick or treasure hunt. It is ALWAYS interesting! Cool place. 🥰

[@SuperDolly64]

What a lovely place to visit with your brother-hope you both had a fantastic time, by the way the professionals theme tune is running through my head now hahaha

[@pamelaschniepp6075]

I learn something about antiques with every video of yours I watch. Thank you for that!

[@jeanharper4304]

The Brass Armadillo is such a cool place! I literally live about 2 minutes up the road from it! You both seem to be enjoying your visit with each other. Thank you for the video!

[@Mindmaid1]

Thank you for taking us along

[@leann4925]

So happy for you both to be enjoying what you like best. Now I want to go and go thru some of the antique places in my area. At one time I used to do that. Enjoyed this and thanks.

[@TheDooskinCO]

I live 10 minutes from that Brass Armadillo. It's fun to go there and wander around every few months. I can always find something I didn't know I needed.

[@NitrousDiecast]

I like the puking birds fountain! 🤣

[@FigaroHey]

aaaarrrggghhhh! I really liked it... until I read your comment and now I can't stop thinking of puking birds. :(

[@NitrousDiecast]

[@TravelingNana]

Your wealth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me! Have fun in Colorado!

[@paulinem.procopy3297]

thanks Alex. love this. would not know about this without your "Curiosity"!

[@juliatownsend2324]

That was great fun to watch xx

[@roxannekane6142]

I use to live right down the street from that antique mall. My mother and I often. There are multiple items in my current home in Florida that I purchased from there.

[@42invincible]

Wow, thanks for putting the Professional’s theme tune in my head for the next 12 hours 😂 Loved that show while growing up in the UK, proper gritty drama well before it’s time.

Still showing on ITV4, usually play spot all the now dead actors although Martin Shaw, Bodie, is still acting.

[@randybourdon2791]

Great walk about in this antique mall Alex, some neat stuff you pointed out.

[@kimmyles444]

Your brother has a great smile and he seems like such a warm person like he would be easy to be around. I am glad that he is that type of person as it is easier to form a relationship with a nice person. I think that you are blessed in that aspect. Good luck on your relationship and I think it will be a great relationship for you and your family.

[@teresaslovingcare4444]

Very cool Mall!!! Glad you are getting to know your brother.

[@tearex5087]

I adore Steve's smile. Such a gentle soul. Very handsome.

[@karencaddle7288]

I go there all the time, as I collect cabinet card photos and holiday early 1900’s postcards between relatives. I then research for a descendant and pass it on to get it back into the family. Love The Brass Armidillo! Love Steve’s Moe’s t-shirt.

[@calib8648]

I’ve thought about doing the same with mine except maybe they ended up for sale somewhere because the family didn’t want them

[@karencaddle7288]

@@calib8648 I used to worry about that, but it has never happened. I have had people that I have contacted through Ancestry that have declined because they are too far removed a descendant, but I appreciate them as I have always found someone after that is thrilled to receive it.

[@farcuf]

Fascinating facts and knowledge, thanks!!

[@sheilaputman-mimitreasures4126]

What a fun time antiquing with your new found brother! So great to see you all making memories! (As the only sister to two brothers, myself, I can feel for Heather!) lol

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

So cool to see Steve just as the video starts. Looking forward to this visit with you guys.

[@mcwatersd]

Looks like Steve is enjoying himself and learning about collectables . Great to see you out and about together. That is a great looking antique mall . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@teresatierney4817]

I recently got a featherweight sewing machine. It is perfect for piecing quilt tops. Since he is a Singer, I am thinking of naming him Frankie Sinatra or Elvis.

[@eternaldarkness6]

Woo hoo!! New video!!

[@lemfam4693]

Ha! I've watched quite a few of your videos, skipping around year to year. I knew that you collected toy cars. Then you said that you collect Corgis. 🐕 Well, not knowing anything about toy cars, I was picturing you with little toy dogs. 🤣 That picture didn't fit with what I've learned of you via the videos. I'm so glad that you showed the "Corgi" that you bought at the end of the video, reaffirming my prior impression of you. It did give me a laugh.

[@DebiBrady]

One of these days, you'll have to go to Virginia that claims to have the largest antique mall in the world! The issue is getting the items back to Canada without spending a fortune on shipping and/or tariffs. Happy Hunting!

[@_JanetLouise]

Thanks for joining in on the Fun, Steve. Will we get to 'meet the Rotties'??

[@rachelpie1621]

I used to live right down the street from this brass armadillo! I've spent hours and hours there. Great way to get exercise in inclement weather. Too bad I missed seeing you there.

[@kathrynmoore1756]

That was fun!

The amount of knowledge in your head! Amazing.

[@lynnhunter8367]

I just can’t say it enough… Steve is such a sweetheart!! ☺️

[@debrapower8673]

Alex, what amazes me is hearing you, Heather and Steve together. It’s so obvious that you are related! You all have the same sense of humor! Your poor sister 😂

[@curtainsup9]

just didn't last long enough!! glad you found a keepsake

[@ndewey7]

I wish this video was longer. I wanted to keep looking around in there. 😂. I love these videos.

[@ingridb7381]

I scored a Featherweight at a yard sale for 20$, Got it running for $70, and have been offered 450$ for it. I wouldn't sell it for anything! I use it a lot (mostly in my Travel trailer). It sews like a dream. Anyway so glad you guys are enjoying your time together!

Bodie's Ford Capri from The Professionals!! Part of my childhood right there 🤭 a legendary motor over the pond here.👍

[@mitchmo]

Thanks!

[@SnowPink90]

Hey!! I thought about Consumers Distributing just the other day and here you say it. 😂 I miss that store. I use to buy summer pools and toys for my 2 boys there. Only in Canada. @5:49 I would love one of those machines. I don’t see a lot but for little simple jobs those machines are great!! @8:45 The Folk Art fountain would be perfect for a backyard that birds like to visit. Love the uniqueness of it. WOW!!! What a place for finding treasures. I’m still trying to find out what my cousin has at his house as far as Hot Wheels goes. You’d love to go through his house and his garage and 3 other places on his property. They’re not big but he certainly has a lot of antiques!! Thanks for taking us on your trip. You and you brother have very similar laughs and smiles. That’s so wonderful that you found each other!!

[@patriciageorge2531]

Ok, weirdness! My grandfather had that tv and the weird is the orang glass dish on top my grandmother would put hers identical to it on the tv. I still have the dish, but not the tv.

Very interesting details you give us here. Very nice you and your brother Took this opportunity to explore together! You have such a good eye it is amazing and Reliable facts for amateurs to consider when searching for I didn’t say it has some value in the market.

[@madelynl.5351]

I’m up near Fort Collins (about 65 miles north of where you are now). We have much better, lower priced vintage stores in an area called South College Avenue. You are currently in the highest priced vintage/ antique mall in Colorado!

[@joycecole2366]

Doing things with your brother, and having so much in common is a wonderful thing. ❤️ My sister and I started selling online about a month ago. It's slowly getting better on sales We source many different places. Yard sales, curbside and our favorite is dumpsters!!! It's mind boggling that someone will throw something away that's old when they can get 100.00 + for it. Also they are throwing away history. I love ❤️ to find old things and get them to someone who appreciates them.

[@LauraLouise008]

Cool place!!

[@suseyq4559]

My parents had that model of TV. While it had 13 channels…we never got that many. We had to use rabbit ears in the old days. I remember getting channels 2,4,7 and if lucky 11. A few years later, we moved and got channel 13…a whopping big deal! To go from radio to TV was crazy. Funny thing, I wished we, as a society would go back to simpler times, gather round the radio and listen to Orson Wells. Great memories.

[@caroled5734]

We finally got a TV when I was a little girl and channel 13 was the public channel. I think we got channel 2, 4 and 5 also. CBS, ABC, NBC & PBS.

[@lcostantino7931]

Great clock/statue

[@janelord3061]

Wow, that place would overwhelm me. I'd forget which/where items I wanted are (if they are in locked cases). I'd have to leave a trail. LOL It would take me all day to go through there, because I would not want to miss anything.

[@brianbaxter3913]

Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun together. The antique mall looks great with a lot of cool items. I don't know about the US or other provinces but most antique malls in Ontario offer a 10% discount to dealers.

My grandfather just may have had one of those Singer oil cans. He repaired Singer sewing machines. One of his customers was a school system back in the 50s. I can not recall if I every saw one or not. He had a lot of stuff.

[@debbieherrick9414]

The problem with all the old stuff is although it may be worth something I bet most of it has sat in those cases for years. I go in the stores here that sell antiques in cases just like the one you and your sweet new brother visited and it seems things sit unsold forever.

[@vickismallwood2082]
