Whoever broke the glass on that 7,000 dollar cabinet is probably still grounded.

[@cathifamjourney469]

Omg, those blue glitter chairs were amazing!

[@shirleyhawkins1307]

Oh the nostalgia seeing items from my childhood! Love this video!

[@mizzwanned]

I love antique shopping. Wish I had them near me in nyc

[@vintage5729]

Been there several times on our way to Zanesville for Pottery Week. It's massive! I've found some great deals there, though!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

I'll take the bronze cat please! Very lovely art glass. Oh my word that Scottie dog display case! If that store had a lunch counter, I'd arrive at opening time, break for lunch and remain until closing. I had fun "shopping" with you guys and I never left the comfort of my ratty old Depression era club chair. I enjoyed the trip!

[@emilyjane61]

Wonderful! You've go to go back and show us more!

[@uwsupergirl]

I don't usually care for green glass but some of those pieces...wow!

[@youareanazingtemunoz9965]

Might take 3 or 4 days to walk the antique mall loved and enjoy the walk thanks

[@shannonrivera8540]

Wow beautiful items there!

[@jojoply]

I can’t imagine who could afford to buy those things. So expensive! Beautiful, made me 🤤

Fun to see so much great stuff in one place. Very educational.Esso became Exon

Good morning from southern West Virginia 🔆

[@pammcdaniel3580]

Have been here several times and love it, but this is Springfield and not columbus

[@markie10ful]

Heart of Ohio is amazing!!! I have there a few times and you can find some good deals if you look hard .

[@dianewillson3261]

Don't forget 2 call the dealer 4 best price, usually over 100.

[@Minnie_Bear]

If I win the lottery, that store will be my first stop.

[@kimmyjeans2]

wow amazing store!

[@richtreehugger]

Were you in Columbus or Springfield Ohio?

[@danielleheil1640]

That is Springfield. I recognize it plus the advertising booklet said Springfield @ the bottom.

[@Sherriakey]

Thanks for the museum tour. If only we had the money to buy what we love!😊

[@nowvoyagerNE]

too rich for my blood, but it costs nothing to look! thanks for the tour! :-)

Wonder the change couldn’t help pay for it!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@christineberry3076: huh?

[@danielleheil1640]

This is in Springfield which is about 20 - 30 minutes from Dayton. It is quite a bit further away from Colombus. I live in Dayton & this place - Amazing - reminds me why I love to thrift!

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I Googled it for directions, and it is only 30 minutes outside Columbus.

[@danielleheil1640]

@@MimisTreasureCottage yes it's close. I'm in Kettering. Springfield is about 20 min & Colombus is almost an hour & half, traffic depending. But Heart of Ohio is amazing!

[@markellwilliams3594]

@@danielleheil1640 I sure was gonna ask how far it was from Columbus. I have a friend there and I’m sure is wanting to make a visit to see him and this antique mall

[@deplorablespartan58]

Diffently not a 30 min drive from columbus

[@written2382]

It’s astonishing how much all of these items cost today because of inflation, even though it’s only been five years since this video was posted.

Some simple Tips for Making Your Videos Look better. Shaky footage will make any video look like a home movie and it can make your viewers feel seasick. Try not to move it unless you have to. Panning around constantly detracts from the good look of a video. Rather than moving the camera if you have to change perspective, it’s better to cut from one shot to another. Slowing down your footage can also help to make shakiness less obvious. Your welcome.

[@kathrynlay7428]

Wow is that an antique mall, museum or high end auction house. Great stuff though. A collectors dream.

[@glendafromaustralia1625]

Enjoyed vid Jeffrey and Aaron. Lovely furniture too. Great walkthrough. Glenda from Australia ✨🚦

[@kyrad6543]

When I was a kid, my grandma used to take me to antique stores in Ohio and Indiana. They always had the best stuff!

[@adalineproulx9773]

Awesome mall!! We went to one in phoenix the brass armadillo and it was huge. Its a franchise.

[@michellemack6640]

This is a great place for pickers to learn what to be looking for but their prices are sky high. I hope they can sell enough to to remain in business. Antique malls and group shops here in New England seem to be disappearing rapidly.

[@dianewillson3261]

Same in Seattle There is sometimes a good find once educated

[@glennissalls4734]

I notice you always draw attention to the chalk ware terms. I have some in a collection that are quite large fruit plaques. Some ducks and some bluebirds. What is the story about them and are they popular now? Are they worth collecting?

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Some chalk where does resale pretty well and a lot of the ones I was pointing out don't really sell that well. I just enjoy them so I mention them lol.

[@TreasureRescue]

I love this store, its exhausting though lol. When you go back, check out Jungle Jims International market in nearby Fairfield OH. It's a foodies dream with an amazing selection of groceries from around the world and...an incredible alcohol selection ;)

[@changedforgood5761]

Have you seen the really large tramp art piece that is at this antique center. Next time I go I am going to take pictures, it's very impressive. I have not made it through the entire place yet.

[@sydneyadams4758]

It would be that pink rolling kitchen cart for me! My mom's was yellow when I was was at home ...she used that cart for just everything, so by the time she passed it was in pretty rough condition. Thanks for the tour~~ Waving from Michigan

[@carolinemitchell5825]

Yes, that cart was amazing! ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyporter3281]

Amazing items, thanks for the tour. Love love the 50’s kitchen booth. Would love an update on your booths and how sales are doing.

[@luissdstuff6381]

Hope you guys go back again. So many beautiful items! What a fun vid!

[@carolchidlow4798]

Jeffery you should visit Webb's in Lake City, FL. Biggest antique mall in Florida, more then 400 venders, approx. 4,000 visitors week. I now have a booth there, doing well and having fun.

[@cardwellave2]

Jeffrey you have to come to the Bay Antique Center in Bay City MI, it’s like three levels and a basement. Huge and amazing! (And much cheaper than this Ohio place). Michigan’s largest!

[@cherylhoskins1679]

I love this mall! I live about 35 minutes away in Dayton, Ohio. I haven't been there in awhile. Must go back...Thanks for sharing!!!

[@maryannthornes4984]

I so enjoyed reading about the write brothers in Dayton .

[@AvadoraMimouniOfficial]

Loveeee my kind of place, I wish you looked at the flow blue more closely 💙

[@fanorama1]

Trying to replicate my kitchen to replicate that 1950s color-coded kitchen booth.

[@dianewillson3261]

Love.. the asian wall peices beautiful

[@bigmcfan]

Jeffrey....there is an auction company down in Anna, Illinois, (Martin Auction) that has the “higher end” offerings to which you refer. You might check them out. I have been to several auctions there and bought some nice items. It can be pricey but they have some really good items at times. I think you are close to the Metro East Saint Louis so it would not be that far for you.

[@apenny_foryourthoughts3037]

We have a big antique mall type building up here in Findlay ohio. I found a lot of nice smells that were not expensive. 4 large rooms that could take the big part of an afternoon. Jeffreys Antiques along I 75.

[@brendastraley8829]

I went to a place called Factory Antiques America's Largest. Located in Va. So really where is the world's largest indoor Antique store? Now am thinking America's Largest is a chain name and not really America's Largest.

[@teresahudson977]

I think you were in Springfield, Ohio not Columbus.It is a fabulou.s place to spend the day.A lot of folksvisit the Extragansa at the fair grounds then visit the antique mall that same weekend. Both are worth the trip.

[@dianewilliams9729]

I appreciate all the high-end furniture pieces but feel more at home and cozy with items seen in the fun kitchen. That place had a wide variety of items and prices. I agree with Scott’s comment about spending an entire day there but breaking for lunch. On your trip, did you stay on the Interstate or drive backroads? I am wondering how far off the beaten path these interesting shops might be. Nice shopping with you all.

[@Peggyanns]

If you want to learn about the auto items like oil cans, I recommend you watch Curiosity Incorporated KZbin. Alex is a wealth of knowledge about it and other interesting things. Also, he is a really great person!

[@allisonholloway833]

Thank you for the tour. Loved it.

[@christinefox9075]

I've noticed over the years, people don't want to sell. They just want to show their treasures off. So sad. I stopped buying and selling a long time ago. The only thing I've invested in is antiqued stained glass from a private dealer.

[@butterflybounty]

I'VE BEEN THERE!!! Spent several hours there just looking and loving the experience

[@magdalenastevense1332]

Great place! And the clock you saw: it said: " Zaanse clock", which means it originates from Zaandam, a city in The Netherlands.

[@bettygarrett2489]

Curiosity Inc in Canada has old gas station and many old unusually stuff owned by Alex and family.

[@debbiegray1789]

You mean he has an antique store and he buys the oil cans and old enamel gas station signs because they are very collectible to some people.

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

Ohio Valley Antique Mall is also huge. It is right above Cincinnati.

[@robinsummers7928]

I have a yellow Scottie dog like the one in the cabinet with a hole in his nose I think it’s a creamer.

[@mariascudder3277]

Love this place, been there at least three times and find the greatest treasures there.,,My Pfaltfgraff dishes, a bag of Valentines, wooden utensils, a quilt the lady gave to me, she was moving out and she saw me looking at it , she asked if I liked it and said she would give it to me if I promised to care for it, a chenel breadspread with Peacock....

[@sassygirl5271]

Love your enthusiasm

[@pattynellis7347]

I wonder if the stuff will sell at those prices ?? You can put a price doesn't mean it sells

[@bettygarrett2489]

Jade ite 😲😲

[@aprilanonymous7237]

I think the pegasus was for Chevron stations, but I could be wrong. As someone else commented, Esso became Exxon. I remember traveling down the shore on the Jersey Turnpike and seeing the Esso refinery (?) tanks. Their motto was "put a tiger in your tank" so the huge tanks were painted white with a tiger's tail coming out the top and down the tank. Traveling the turnpike was an odorous adventure in the '60s-'70s when we still polluted.

[@richtreehugger]

April Anonymous , Phillips 66 is the pegasus.

[@aprilanonymous7237]

@@richtreehugger thanks. I knew I was wrong on that.

Antiquing on a Rainy Day, doesn't get much better.

[@hollidais20002]

The tour was wonderful.

[@daytonmayor]

Hey, you made it! There’s also a monthly auction held in one of their wings. You definitely will need more time to run through the whole mall.

[@Julianne955]

AHHH!!! I want to go there!!! Coolest stuff ever!

[@natalie8212]

So did you or Barb end up buying anything? I'd hate to leave empty handed! If you didn't though, you can always go back and really scour for the bargains.

I didn't buy anything, but barb did!

Pretty creative with that pricing huh..

[@sandraclancy6221]

Thx for going a slow pace, got to enjoy looking at this I can't afford. But still loved it very much.

[@kimmaddalena5493]

Omg! The last case.....Scottie dogs!! Okay, so there really are a few I don’t have still out there. The prices though on everything else I saw is a bit out there. Antiques, at least in our area have really dropped. So, with what I saw, the Scottie items were probably over priced also, so my hunt will have to just continue in my neck of the woods. Lol. Thank you for sharing your visit to this Ohio mall. Ciao!

[@fabulouslifeinchrist1349]

Vintage Luxe Antique Mall should be the name of this store. The items are gorgeous and prices are super Luxe too. Not for a tightwad or penny pincher like me...but, I can look and get inspired. It is like a museum. I wanted to see all the tablelamps too.

[@joannhavens4161]

Esso was the gas station when we lived in Germany

I just want to say, unlike other channels out there , I love the way you tell about the pieces when you’re shopping, it helps those of us who know nothing to learn about all the interesting pieces out there. Keep it up, I love your channel.

[@tsthriftingfinds6598]

I was wondering if you'd end up going here. It is massive, but I go there often for my own little collecting. :) It gets super warm in there though. On a plus, anything $20 and over they take 10% off of and anything over $100 you can make offers on, I think. It's been a while, lol. They have gorgeous furniture there. That large furniture section used to be an auction house, they opened it recently.

[@sandrasnyder8559]

Springfield Antique Mall is awesome! We live in Cincinnati and visit there often. We collect McCoy pottery and have picked up quite a few pieces there, over the years.

Oh my goodness Jeffery, I could not believe all the beautiful things at this Antique Mall. My favorite part was the kitchen display and also the figurines. That place was huge. You would need at least three days to see the whole place. What fun that would be!!

[@terrihomer1790]

The black lacquered oriental pieces are carved abalone shells . Beautiful Antique Mall . Rain sounded peaceful . Metallic blue chair . Loved the slot machine .
