The wire basket utensil with the long handle is for popping popcorn over a fire in a fireplace or a campfire. Fond memories of time with grandpa and grandma on an overnight visit!

[@jodydoughty]

I was just going to comment about the baskets. Many memories of popping corn over the fire.

[@chanmi1957]

I also smiled when I saw those. We used them in Girl Scouts when we went camping. It was fun popping corn over the fire.

[@gepernau]

Yes I used them as a child in our family for popcorn.

[@WellISaidIt]

Chestnuts for me. over an open fire.

[@punishedmatteson7108]

​@@WellISaidItI was going to say the same.

[@virginia7191]

He called the box of kitchen items “antiques”. I have a kitchen drawer full of “antiques “ that I use all the time and never knew it. 😂

[@fayecraven597]

I am the youngest of 6 and we all had a Velvet tin for our allowance. My dad had them in a Strongbox and once a month on a Saturday he would take his wallet and and with a big sigh he would open his wallet and hand us our money and we would put it in our tins lol. It would get locked up until next time we went to town and we could ask to take some money for a treat. When he passed away we opened the Strongbox and all the kids took their tin home. ❤

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Great memory shared!!!

[@memcmac]

Do you ever sell to set decorators for movies/tv? You could set up a whole kitchen with the utensils and the other household items.

[@sandraduden8198]

The knitting magazines are valuable to knitters who are trying to recreate vintage knits. That community will love them.

[@srebrnaFH]

Wanted to write the same :) Also, in case of magazines, it would make sense to group them by decades or even 5 year periods, as people sometimes look for particular style and would rather buy "61-65 knitting magazine bundle" then "box of knitting magazines".

[@annelegumes2104]

Omg, I love knitting patterns!

[@punishedmatteson7108]

Part of my (self-imposed) mental health treatment for the last twenty years has been to look for marbles in the creeks near my house. I usually find at least part of one every time I go out. My dog hates it but he doesn't get a say in the matter.

[@santamonicajane]

At 8.10 not a jello mold but a mold for making steamed puddings. I use my apple peeler, corer, slicer all the time. I have a Fugi apple tree. They still make them. Lots of great items in that kitchen box.

[@Rashuric]

I believe the Boat is a Salt and Pepper shaker holder for the table and the Bow of the boat is for Toothpicks

[@lindamusser7370]

I was hoping someone would have an answer.

[@ybrynecho2368]

The screened metal things with the sliding lid are popcorn makers to use in your fireplace or bonfire embers. We had one when I was a kid. Also, the two brushes in a case are men's hair brushes. You would use both of them at the same time. My dad had a set of those until he didn't have enough hair to brush anymore. LOL

[@brianhenry2385]

Truck Ruts To Road: I've had many driveway put in over the years, using road gravel. What I was shown early on is that if you lay down "Road Paper" first, it stops the gravel from getting lost in the mud and you use much less gravel. What we call Road Paper here in the Pacific Northwest is like an industrial size and weight Garden Fabric Cloth. It comes on huge rolls that get cut to length at our local Rock & Landscaping supply company. It's available here for 12 and 20' wide driveways and is strong enough for the Dump Truck to back over as they start the run to pour and spread gravel. The gravel gets "suspended" on top of the paper and locks in to make the drive, with out being lost over time in the soft ground. I just roll it out before the dump truck arrives and hold the corners and edges down with bricks or rocks, until the gravel gets dumped to hold it in place. It doubles as a weed barrier, so grass doesn't grow up through the gravel. 🙂

[@katwitanruna]

Potato peeler? We always used those for apples when making stuff.

[@barbarafrench9461]

That peeler is used for apples in US.

[@kimannelockart]

[@wouterretuow9217]

It's really fun to see that Panter sigar box in the collection! My grandpa worked at that place back in the days. Greets from the Netherlands!

[@SherryTheSecretary]

The wire basket with the handle is a popcorn popper for over a fireplace or a campfire. Those are so cool! Right up there with the mini sandwich makers used still by the Boy Scouts.

[@marcialynn3469]

I'm retired in Mexico's Baja. I used to go antiquing in southern Ontario back in the 80s, and I'm disabled now. There are a few second-hand places here that go up to Long-Beach, CA wholesalers and bring stuff back, but nothing like up there. I used to have all that kitchen stuff. It's been over 100 for two weeks here, so we are hunkered down in the a/c.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Can you show the box of costume jewelry more thoroughly? Love that stuff. At 20:49 that is a popcorn popper that goes over a fire. It brought back memories of popping corn over the fireplace at the cabin. I had forgotten about that. Thanks Alex.

[@sanitaungure9321]

Ha, joke about tripod was good 😅😅

[@crinkle2649]

I bet that man that Josh knows would love that wine bottle shaped humidor. The one that has a smoking room in his house and Josh painted his picture for the room

Always check the marbles to see if they glow . Some of them were made from uranium glass .

[@LadyGardener81]

Wow never knew that. .... if I can still find my marbles.....

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

I was just about to say that👍

[@knittingnana2939]

Idk if you know it or not, but there is a real market for vintage knitting and crochet patterns.

[@josephdung117]

So I just had a laugh and asked "Did you lose your marbles!" -- when you found your marbles inside the box after Melissa said you lost~haha

[@knittingnana2939]

" making plastic seem more valuable " reminded me of something that happened years ago, in the late 80s or early 90s. We were in northern California, in the redwoods. I think, actually, we were at the trees of mystery. Its an area that has a small trail that takes you past various redwood trees that have some sort of anamoly to them---- anyway, we were in the giftshop, and it had earrings on cards. These earrings were generaly gemstones and would have on them, " genuine garnet", or " genuine moonstone", etc. Well imagine my surprise when i found a card with earrings that were small, clear cubes. On said earrings was written, " genuine lucite" like lucite was a gemstone or something. Its just plastic.

[@SunlightParadiseGlassArt]

Hahaha marketing genius

[@therealJamieJoy]

Lucite is a brand name of an acrylic -- so likely they had to put the name on it due to copyright. Lucite is the most superior acrylic. Plain plexiglass type acrylic is less clear, easy to etch with household cleaners, brittle. Lucite is clear and super sparkly. :)

[@dianewulkopf7535]

I love that you take the time to show us what is in some of the less valuable boxes - they're just as much fun as the others.

[@IvyRoad]

I believe the two matching brushes are men’s hair brushes, not clothes’ brushes. Men used to brush the sides of their heads with the corresponding hand simultaneously.

[@emmyploeger512]

Molen lucifers, Mill matches are from the Netherlands. The factory closed in 1979. Panter mignon were cigars. They were made in my hometown.

[@keithbriere]

Those screens with a handle are popcorn poppers used over open flame. My grandma used them over the flame of our old kitchen wood stove back in the 40's/50's. Wow, what a good memory you inspired. ❤️✌️

[@tigerspook1]

Hi Alex,... The sea plane on that Top Flight orange crate, is a depiction of a 4 engined Sunderland or Empire Flying Boat, a Catalena only has 2 engines.. xxx

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

[@jacobfleming6616]

Since I started watching a few years ago, Ive loved coming along for your adventures. Now, my wife and I own our own antique store! It feels almost educational to watch now 😁

[@carolesemkowich7200]

That mesh baskety thing is a popcorn popper.

[@lindawilson4625]

I had some comments to my earlier comment. THANKS! I'm so sorry. I must have sounded critical, but I didn't mean to be. I only commented about the camera work because he mentioned the tripod in his haul and that he didn't like using them. That's the only reason I made my comment...thinking I might be of help LOL! I mentioned maybe going "hands free" because I see he sometimes gets a little frustrated trying to open a container with one hand while holding the phone in the other. I get a real kick seeing everything he does because he truly knows and appreciates what he finds. Very fun and educational for me. I also like that he has real supporters :-)

[@danielulz1640]

Alexander, those mesh things with the long handles are corn poppers! You use them over an open flame; gas or wood stove, fireplace or camp fire.

[@janielow8719]

I have the duck clothes brush sitting next to an umbrella stand and coat stand in my hall ( Scotland ) xx

[@denisekeeth4595]

I love watching your hoarder house series. They're so exciting especially when you reveal some of the really good stuff that you've found at the end. I'm just surprised you expect to find something really good this time. I imagine the family took all the decent stuff (which is their right of coarse) before they boxed it all up and decided to find someone to get rid of it all for them. I love your wit and enthusiasum and can't wait for the next hoarder house series.

[@maxzee1739]

Yup, that's a good point. Anything with lots of value I'm sure they already filtered out, when they packed it up. It's a good bet Alex will see a decent profit, but it won't be as big as some of his other sales.

[@ThelmaDemers]

Lol - laughing at the flour sifter and your ashes. I told my kids - take a ride down a nice road with a bit of speed, open the box of my ashes and let them blow out the window. 😁. Better than being in the ground. LOL

[@gigicostlow4414]

I remember using those baskets for popping popcorn over a campfire. I have a trinket box like the dog one you have the top to only it has a fawn on the top. It was my granny's and I remember her having them all my life and I'm 60. My mom said she thinks she had them when she left home. She had 2 so I got 1 and my brother got 1. My grandpa smoked Prince Albert tobacco so I have some of those cans. My aunt has the wooden stacking canisters which were my grandma's. So many neat things in this haul.

[@Abysmillard]

I don't think so, looks more like a Martin M-130

[@veivoli]

@@Abysmillard But we can agree that it's not a Catalina, which only had two engines. And the wing shape is wrong. My first thought was Sunderland as well, but I'm geographically biased as they flew out of here when I was a little fella.

[@Abysmillard]

@@veivoli Have a look at the cockpit windows. I think they a very unique.

[@veivoli]

@@Abysmillard Agree that it look like a Martin M-130. The wing across the top of the fuselage is also a giveaway; the Sunderland wing was lower, Also the tailplane position is different. I've never seem a M-130 living, as I do, close to the white wall around the edge of our flat earth! 🙂
