5 Thrift Stops, 1 Winner: Which Had the Best Vintage & Antiques?

Everett Washington is a great place to go thrifting. There are a whole lot of thrift stores. They used to be all in a cluster but they've all outgrown those shops so they all have their own stores now. Friend and viewer Susan Lee works at this place and they just had a really big estate sale that I went to. I was very impressed with it. Bought some cool stuff and she said twice a year. We do half off all the estate sale items and today is the first day of that sale. Some of these pieces I recognized from the estate sale. I thought this was very pretty. Some of these will be from other sales I didn't attend. This I almost bought and I'm still tempted at six dollars. It's a nice old Royal Albert plate. Lennox Rose. Fifteen dollars for four is a pretty good price. Very pretty blue oil lamp here. Adams Aquarius in the sapphire blue. I couldn't get here early so it's entirely possible a lot of the stuff that I would have bought is gone. But we're going to check it out and see. Only $4.99 on that teapot. Lusterware with the pretty flowers from the 1930s. That's Japanese. Real wooden Canadian plate. We know this is an older one because of the crest. They only show five provinces. That's got a pretty scene in it. Made in Japan. Also 1930s. Some of their lusterware here. Definitely they get things from a lot of different estate sales and I think a lot of people donate to them. They help people out when they need them and I think sometimes the people leave them their stuff when they're done. Six dollars and fifty cents for the Dragonware Moriaga. Lenieux with 24 karat gold. This is a very pretty Czechoslovakian tea set. Highly decorated for $99. Capo di Monte flowers are $7.50 each. Waterford Bowl is going to be $37 with the discount. And the RS Prussia. $25 for this set. That seems pretty good. It's really great to see really nice things in a thrift store. Things that are really old and collectible. The Gobel Horseman is $37. The Yadros are $25 each with the discount. That's tempting. Noritake Fine China and some Mikasa. I like this piece down there with the gold leaf. Some doggies. Let's see if we hear anybody. I love the eyes. Oh yeah, that seems to have a European crown mark. Not Gobel, one of the other ones, but it is German. Japanese from the 50s. These eggs seem newer, but they're pretty. There's certainly a lot to choose from. And painting on this fruit bowl here. Santa Rosa, California. I haven't really seen that before. Cyan Bronze Factory. So this is before 1960. No, afterwards, because they changed to Thailand officially. Napkin rings. Behind is a nice elegant glassware piece. San Francisco Music Box Company is gone now. The Kaleidoscope box would be $29.99 with the discount. FHM by Royal Worcester. I have a bunch of that for sale, but I've never seen the Big Baker before. At half price, that's a good deal. That piece here. It's the regular hobnail, but it's a big cake plate. And at $15, that's a good price. I think we're going to do some shopping. When you see these from the cruise ships, yes indeed, they were done by Costa Boda. Sometimes they have a label. They were done for the Royal Caribbean Lines. Nippon with the poppies. Little Bit Ship. That's an Oratake piece with the Morimura Brothers mark. They were the importers in the 30s. Hasselton is another good old American china company that a lot of people haven't heard of, but they were the same kind of quality as Lenox. Dolly Madison pattern here. And what a great price. 12 pieces for $15. Here's a piece of Corel Cornflower Blue worth buying, because it has the drainage. This is the meat tray. And at that price, you could use a little Mother's Mag wheel polish to get this metal mark off. That wouldn't be hard. It's only $4.50. I remember my grandmother making things like this. This is made out of old postcards. The knife caddy looks a little strange without its contents, but your knives would have gone in there. This guy's missing its lid. More pretty Leicesterware. Only $10 for this set. It doesn't have a mark on the bottom, but I'm sure it's Bavarian. It might just be oldeness that they didn't have to mark since their export back then. Mappin and Webb is a pretty good silver plate company, and yes, that is an asparagus tray. You would lay them across so they could drain. Nice older shell here, per formal serving. $37.50. Here's an unusual Lenox piece, this ash tray. Designer's Collection, the Golden Stallion. Andrea by Sedeck, the birds here. A little bit of elegant depression glass. Half-off yellow tags. This looks like a Shawnee Corn King, but it doesn't have the mark. So my guess is this was made by somebody to look like there were. Quite an attractive store, I have to say, the way they have this set up. I had not been in here before. 1950s pendant from Minnesota. An old stag-handled carving set from the turn of the last century. They had some beautiful stuff at the estate sale that didn't sell. I recognize that print, and I recognize this pair of painted tables. I think the difficulty with these is they are step down, and a lot of people for some reason don't like that. I find it very convenient because it's more storage and different levels, and they're only asking $50 a piece now. Wow! Bering Sea Alaskan Wildlife Classes. That's kind of a neat set. Here's a bunch of Joseph originals. Black eyes are older. The brown eyes in the back are newer. You can tell by the tags as well. Good prices on these. A lot of these are the numbers. They're fun to collect until you're 21, and then you're done. Not everybody is after the numbers. Some people really prefer them without, because these are specific to birthdays. Guardian Wareout of Los Angeles. 1930s and 40s era. More leftovers from the estate sale. I picked this piece up there, and I liked it then, and I like it now. Now it's only $7.50. Some of these are from other sales. Cute little tray here. This is Royal Copenhagen, somewhere in Denmark. Kronberg. A little Delft heart-shaped box. I know someone who I think would like that. It's only $5. Hlokluna Ware from the USSR. You know, I was tempted by these when they were half price at the sale, but I didn't get them because three of them are saucers. Now we're talking $10 for three plates. I think these are destined to be mine after all. I've always been a fan of Paden City Glass. This is the Largo pattern. Love the geometric design. 1930s made in West Virginia. Sapphire blue or azure blue. This big cookie crock is by Croc Shop Incorporated out of Santa Ana, California. This is a 1980s and 90s maker, but you can tell they hand through things because you see the rings. Harrison Herringbone. $4 each. Not a bad price for the footed tumblers in the tall size. This is pretty. I believe this is Pinsbury. Yes, definitely has that intaglio with the etching. Someone finally taught me how to say that right. Thank you, viewers. And $12.99. That is a good price. Don't see any older prints here. This is a 30s era piece. Meakin Sunshine. Very cute. Very happy English 1930s. And this has Moriaga beading. Cool plate here with the Nippon mark from the 20s. Hiding these in this set of Knowles dishes. A salad set. Let's see who did this. Deep Dish Pizza. Watkins distributed these, but they were actually made by Royal China. Lots of cute stuff, but nothing old on these shelves. I see a little bit of embroidery in the back there. And of course, lots of clothes. Jewelry counter looks mostly new, but there's some cute stuff. Well, that was fun. A few things I passed up at the estate sale I lost out on, but a few of them ended up being cheaper here. So this was a good stop. And now we're going to see what else there is in Thriftland on its own away from the other thrift stores in St. Vincent de Paul. I'm getting here right at the end of the day, so I'm going to miss out on some of this, but they have a furniture section, a donation center, a little gathering space, and then this is the store. Jewelry looks sort of the usual. A little bit of 30s aluminum. I think this is the Japanese knockoff of this boat, because it has a star on top. I have practically the same piece for sale, though. Royer. Charles Royer, who was the mayor of Seattle in the 70s. No maker name. Just a general scene. Sometimes these are world's fairs or something interesting Japanese from the 50s. This is fairly large compared to some St. Vincent's. Oh, here's the big dumb cup. In pretty good condition. How much are you? I sold the last one I had. Eight dollars isn't bad, but it's got a dent. People say I'm too picky, but you know, they made about six million of those, so you can afford to be picky. This is Edgar Hawking from the 80s with the fired on marine color, which was all the rage. Seven dollars. That's about what it costs new. Just got a very few minutes here, so we're gonna buzz through the housewares. This has that sort of mottled silver glaze that you see on Sasha Brostoff's Surf Ballet, but a lot of companies copied it in a not-quite-so-successful way. Ah yes, fake cameo glass. It might say galley in huge letters. It's sandblasted instead of correctly. This one at least says it's a teleflora gift. Certainly six dollars for that amount of work is a perfectly fine price. Pointing where it gets its own section. A friend of mine bought this rainbow trout stuff in the early 90s made in China. It actually held up reasonably well. These are Franciscan. These are hacienda gold. They also did green. This was one of the first of their modernist patterns in 1969. And there are collectors for these. Four dollars each is a pretty good price. They do tend to get silver marks. If you use Mother's Bag wheel polish, those will come off. Poor barkeeper's friend. The bowls might take a little more work. Pretty, this glass piece, the way it's painted and enameled. Actually it was fired. Oh, it's not glass. Huh, interesting. It looks Eastern European, but I am not certain of that. I think this is a little Hall China toothpick holder or individual creamer. Some other companies made those too though in that restaurant green. Stove stuff. No studio name on that. I really only buy the studio stuff. There's just so much stover and a lot of it's great, but if we don't know who it is, I just don't know how you make a market for it. This looks like it's one of the Stetson China patterns. I have Rio at my house. Oh no, this is Blue Ridge. Interesting. Blue Ridge hand painted and Stetson followed them. Stetson was in Illinois. Blue Ridge was in the mountains and employed a lot of Appalachian mountain women to do the painting for them. A false graft set from the 80s. I personally find the anchor hawking milk glass to just be really thin and watery looking. It is fire king. Some people will buy it, but between the gold rim and the not as great quality, in my opinion, I don't. Kentucky Derby and I think this is one of the glasses and an older one at that. This is actually a Churchill Downs glass. It's not specifically for the derby, but it's only three dollars and I need to send some things to Kentucky, so I think I'll take that. Karanak. Those are curious. I am starting to see these all over the place around here. Wow, there's a lot to see here. I'm just going to do the housewares because they're going to close in about eight minutes. Pretty blue color, but a little bit out of round, so I think that's newer. It's not great quality. Let's check out these shelves where they have some of their collectible stuff. Oh my, someone has lost part of their mandible. Trolley bookends are kind of cute. This looks like something that somebody made at home, but very precisely. There's a lot of woodworkers in this area. Oh no, they actually have a maker name on them and they're five dollars. Ah, it's a Washington woodworking name. Interesting. They're cute. They're not very heavy though. I'm not sure they'd hold books all that well. Early 1900s Japanese miniature teapot here. This would have been a bamboo handle. I'm not sure what's going on. They taped it, I guess. Five dollars. It's awfully cute. Now are these salt and pepper or are they just figures? Boo Bird. Japanese. 70s. And Cardinal. Okay, a lot of new stuff on these shelves. Again, someone's homewood project. $3.99 from Curacao. Very 80s looking ice bucket there, but I have a lot of ice buckets right now. Ooh, an Amy Grant picture disc, but they want $30. Big Hager piece here. That's cute, but they want $35. And wow, look at the huge owl for 20 Untempted. It's so bad, it's good. Next up is the Value Village in Everett and it says donate today. And I have to tell you, I now understand the power of donation. I have a whole lot of you to thank for your helping me get through the ordeal that I'm going through. So whether it's someone in peril or a thrift store, donating is important and I'm going to do a whole lot more of it. There's a lot of value villages in the outskirts of Seattle. The ones in city have all gone away, but there's still a lot in the Vancouver BC area too. This is savers in some parts of the world. Let's see what we have on the wall here. Looks mainly like new things. I don't see any original art or old mirrors. A little bit of furniture. I'm actually seeing people take these kind of overwrought 70s things and paint them up and do some really interesting things with them. So if you don't like this sort of faux finish pickled oak, there are things you can do with it. And it's got a neat pattern top. This is $21, so it might be a fun repurposing thing. I'm not generally a big advocate of painting furniture, but this one already has some problems. Something's gonna have to be done with it. Well, it looks like there are a lot of things in houseware, so let's look there. Mostly steins of this era just don't do well for me. 1970. I really look for the things from around 1900, 1910. Sometimes the beer ones will go. We see an awful lot of stuff that looks like this back here. It's just not the old generation violets typically sell. Just a cute little hand-painted plate. Nippon 1920s or 30s. There's a lot of confusion about Nippon marks because supposedly they had to change them to Japan in the 30s, but they didn't all do it right away, so it overlaps. Katako game. $15. The Hall of Fame photoelectric football. Hugh McElhinney was a big deal here in the Northwest during his college years. It looks like it has most of the pieces too, including the fake stands, which are great. Right above it is this old Lesterware piece. This is not 50s, 60s Lester. This is 19-teens or so. Probably made in Austria or Germany. No mark. Little Demitasse cup. Only $4. Lots of Funko Pops starting to hit the donation bins. Better really know which ones are the scarce ones if you're dealing in those. Ah, yes. Disney plates. Cute, but no real demand in the aftermarket. No. This is House of Lloyd, 1988, Taiwan. Blue geese and teddy bears. How 80s? This is cutesy too, but this is actually a Metlox. A provincial girl with a kitty cat in this nice sauce boat is a sweet little piece that you could use even if you don't collect this pattern. It's $5.99. There's the Metlox mark. It's actually a pretty good price. McFarland sports picks. You know, this plastic stuff, again, there are a lot of people who started collecting this. Now, the only problem is when some of these people no longer play. This is 2002. While a new generation watching may not understand who these were, Jerome McGinlow is one of the few black players in the NHL. I enjoyed watching him play. Definitely getting into the newer collectibles, Betty Boop and one of these laser cut paperweights for $12.99. Lots of 80s, 90s Betty Boop things. They're very cute. Very little Betty Boop was made back in the 1930s, so that's why so much was made later. Now, there's a nice old pitcher. You can tell by the shape. It's Czechoslovakian, probably 1930 or so, and they're asking $6.99. Not a bad price. Fun colors. Czech pottery varies in quality. This isn't the most amazing, but it's pretty. Now, this is an older Japanese piece. It has that aesthetic and it has little dots where the firing method threw some sparks into the glaze. The glaze is not real good on this one, though. This probably dates to late Meiji period. It's only $9. It's honestly worth buying at that price. I'm definitely looking at masks from the 80s and 90s, depending on who the maker is. This one has a big hairline crack and is not Clay Ardor, one of the better known makers. I know some people are collecting mugs. This is early 80s Otogiri with the owl in the gold, and the gold's in pretty good shape for $2.99. This probably would sell, but I'm seeing where the gold on the rim is a little worn. The Biscayle is Homeco. Get it for your home. $5. There's its mate facing the other direction. This looks like Mount St. Helen's Ash. Alaska clay is sort of like this, but more orange. And yes, this is the ashware made in Cougar, Washington, and it has the LD signature. That was the artist. This is from shortly after the Mountain Blue, and these sold for about $10 originally. It's $4.99 today. I have a feeling that some of these collectibles are going to start being of interest, at least regionally here. This little guy is covered up, but this is actually Sandacast, which is starting to be collectible. They were American made. This one has a chip, and then this one was made in Taiwan about the same time, 1984. This is Purebred Pets. Kathy Weiss was the designer, and then Inesco had the pieces made in Taiwan. They're old enough to start having a collector following, but I like this little dog better. I think he's got a little more age in redware. 1960s, I would say. $3.99. So many wood carvers here in Washington and other places, too, where they used exotic woods. This one is called the Mud Hen. It has the signature of the carver. Wildflower Woods. It'd be great to see some scholarship on this. It was very popular in the 80s and early 90s. The Avon pieces are really common with George and Martha Washington. I suspect that's part of the line under there. Yes, I see it. This piece is older. A little cherries mug with the rings from the 50s. $2.49. If you were collecting this set, that's a great price. Astoria American Two Light Candles. Now these are really nice when you have candles in them. It's actually a very good look. Made anytime between 1910 and 1980. It was that popular. It lasted in the line that long. I think this shape was actually probably done in the 30s or 40s first, though. They're $9 each, so under $20 for that pair. It's a good price. Wooden signs. We're starting to see them populate the thrift stores. It was only a matter of time. This is an Imperial Candlewick Fan Base, also from about 1940. This pattern was made a long time as well. $7.50. I still think these sell for about $20 online. I've always liked fan bases because the flowers fan out and it makes a nice display. I don't see anything old in lamps, or planters particularly. Silver leaf. I see some taller ones on the bottom. At least they have multiples. $2.50 a piece. It's the real thing. That's a late 70s Coke glass. Now these sell pretty well. They're a little bit yellowed, and I don't know whether that'll come off. That could be from dishwashing, or it might be that barkeeper's friend would take that off, but you'd have to be really gentle. But the snowflakes? These actually really do well, and $2.50 a piece is cheap. If there were four of them that were clean, like this one, I would take those. Oh boy, and I think I see three, and then a really bad one. Yeah, there's only two that are actually really clean. I still think I might do it. Well, let's look at cups and saucers for a minute. These are Nasko Springtime, or something related from Japan. Morning Glory, also by Nasko. Down here we have some Desert Rose. Very popular pattern in its time. A lot of you are familiar with Blue Willow, but it came in other colors, and this is black. Actually, two-color Blue Willow in black. This is Royal Stafford. Now, it says microwave and dishwasher safe, so you know this is a little newer. It is English made, though. Only $4. That's just appealing enough to sell even by itself. The fate of so many Limoge sets, and they're just beautiful, and they're true antique over 100 years old, and they're $4 in a thrift store. Haviland imported so much of this stuff back in the day, especially with small flowers, but they are very pretty. Here's a fun Corel pattern. There's four of these little bread plates. If I could find dinner plates to go with them, I'd be tempted. I think they're more recent, but I like it. These look like they're from about 1910. Probably, again, German or Austrian. Trying to look like Limoge. Well, I didn't find that, but I did find some of these. The plates are pretty worn, but the bowls are in good shape, and they're only $2.99 a piece, and they're the larger size. And then there's this big serving piece for $5. I think that's a pretty good price. We might have to take these. And the platters as well. There are two of them. Old drip glaze cookie jar for $10.99. That's from the 60s. Sort of your usual 50s look, but with a psychedelic inspired logo. Old atlas jar with the bail. $5. I love Coca-Cola. Hermetically sealed. I think this is 80s also. The bags. I keep thinking I'm going to find something great in the bag someday. If this was an entire set of Mexican carved agate and quartz chess pieces, I bet I could use that. That looks like an old dress glass candy dish from the early 1900s. And this is Faustoria Colony. The sauce boat with the liner. Would have had a spoon originally. Only $2.99 though. Handlewick Individual Cream and Sugar, but there's a lot of those. So those prices are not anything to jump on. It depends on the age, but things with cards on them can be popular. But look at the design of that ace. That's very modern. After Easter, but there's deviled egg trays. And it really does pay to look way far back on these shelves, because they just shove things to the back and you never know what might be lurking. This little custard bowl is Ultramarine Swirl by Jeanette Glass from the 1930s. Always like that. $3 is not a bad deal. This stuff does sell. But one thing about running into one piece in a thrift store is that there could be other pieces around. So once you see one, prime yourself to look for more. Because things do not always end up where you expect. And people pick stuff up and move it around too. There's a piece of Lennox Rose on the bottom there. I have sold this successfully in the past. It's $10. Rhodora is actually the technical name of the pattern. And this is the small platter. But there is room in that if you want to pattern match. Book section. I'm hoping that they have an area where they actually separate the old books. There's a Corning bread loaf that you don't see very often. And, of course, cornflour glue, which you do. This mixing bowl, I think, was made by Federal or Glass Bake for Royal China to sell with their courier and Ives pattern dishes that match that. But it isn't marked because they didn't want another company's recognition. They wanted to sell it with their stuff. $11.49 is an okay price on it. You don't see them that often. Take a quick look at the silver to make sure we're not missing any sterling. I really like this 1920 centerpiece bowl, but it's missing its centerpiece. This has a little mellower tone to it, but no, it's shiny when you get it out. Shiny tells you not sterling. Sterling is pretty mellow and smooth and satiny looking by comparison. There's an old 1930s percolator, though. A Shesham box from India. This carving was especially popular in the 70s and into the 80s. It's a nice size. $8.99 is not bad. Somebody was asking $20 at one time. Ah, but look at the split. One thing about wood that came from other parts of the world is that in a climate like the northwest, which is not actually that humid, these things can dry out and split. That was a real problem with Indonesian reproduction quote-unquote antique furniture that came here in the 90s. It looked great and then it would crack. Huh, a bunch of 45s in their sleeves. That might be worth spending a moment with at least. Chet Atkins. And again, Hank Snow. Some of these western ones would be worth something, depending on condition. But a lot of these feel empty as I'm picking them up. There's Buck Owens in his early years. Con Leachwoody, not in his early years. No old cookbooks, and I don't see any old books in general. Thrifting makes me happy because I can find things that other people like to collect. And yes, it does help do our part for the planet. We have a lot of fun doing this, so come along with us. Click that thumbs up button to be notified of future videos. If you're subscribed, if not, well, subscribe and then you can do that. Well, I actually see some better jewelry than usual. The micro mosaic with the lute is $10.99. The piece above it has a nice look and is older with the rhinestones. Not super cheap, but older pieces. It's good to see. I have earrings that match that mother-of-pearl pendant. And there's the Canadian fork with the maple leaf. That looks like something from the 40s. Well, I've got to say, Value Village rarely disappoints. Way off in the background through a bunch of wires, but that's Mount Baker. That is all the way up by the Canadian border. Everett, Washington, a city in its own right north of Seattle, part of the Seattle metro area, has flea markets and it has thrift stores. And across the street from the historic Monte Cristo Hotel is the downtown Everett Goodwill. All right, well, there's an old 60s era cabinet made out of maple. And that colonial look. Well made, just not popular anymore. An English post box made into a bank. Made it in Norfolk, England. This looks like a newer ceramic piece. Ask for assistance on the high shelves, but I don't see anything we need. We are going to go into the housewares. Franciscan Coronado plate here for $3. I always liked that pattern from the 40s. This looks like, oh yes, Lifetime China did the cameo decoration on the Homer Loughlin blank, meaning they applied the gold. I have all sorts of serving pieces in Royal Lister Ebbisham. I don't have these pieces. $4 each on the cereal bowls is not a bad price. Looks like the same on those less on the salad plates. And only $3 each on the dinner plates. They're selling for about $15 each on eBay. But all that's in Kentucky and this would be expensive to ship because of the weight. Boy, they sure got a stack of it. It is tempting because these might help sell the serving pieces that I have sitting there. Royal Lister's been out of business for a while and this was one of their last really popular patterns. I saw a Canadian plate in the parking lot. Perhaps they need to take this home. This shows Newfoundland as one of the Canadian provinces, so this is after 1949. A very pretty casserole in a floral pattern. RC mark. I think this is probably Japanese. There's just not a lot of call for those even though they're quite attractive and it's only $15. He caught seeing better days. Sometimes I still look just so that I know what it is the next time I see it. We see a lot of them are key lined, but only $2. It's certainly a good price. Let's see what the figurines look like. This dachshund caddy looks like a Japanese version of the McCoy. Oh, actually even newer than that. Inkolay plate and bar relief for $4. Anything old in the art section? I don't see any. She looked at this present and said, I'm not happy. 1940s era percolator for $30. I like the bulbous shape. Old armchair here or desk chair. That looks sturdy. Might have been made around here. There used to be a lot of furniture companies because of all the timber. Ever it is still to this day a big timber town. Ah, a big dumb cup. $20. See, they're catching on to these because the new ones are rather expensive and are selling so well. Cereal bowls are the real deal and that can often be the case with some of these dinnerware patterns. They didn't make as many of these pieces. Originally copyrighted in 1961, but very popular in the 1980s as well. So a couple of generations of success. The pie plates are $6 each. I feel like I've got a pie plate, but at that price, you know, I think I'm shipping a whole box so I might as well make it worthwhile. Now do be fussy. Look for scratches, look for goldware, because the customers who buy these, they will do that too. See, this one's got wear around the edge so we're going to leave that. This one has a lot of knife marks and surface wear and dullness. Knife marks you can get out. Surface wear, not so much. And these seem like they have a lot of that. I may only be taking a few pieces, but this one looks good. You can tell which one sat on the bottom of the stack for years and didn't get used. These sell for about $25 and since I'm sending them to a retail store, $6 is not too much to pay. Okay, they like to separate the cups from the saucers here. These are all Royal Albert and it is a nice pattern, the Cosmos. They're only $4 each and there are nine of them. We could find a saucer or two. We might take those. 1940s era child's piece. And there is a beaker, what the English call mugs. This is a neat trivet. Now it was shaped for a particular thing to go in it, but these were done in Romania. It's that interesting pull in the glaze. You know, people complain about Goodwill, but in the Seattle area, they're pretty good. I almost always find something and they bag your stuff and they have paper. It's not self-service. You don't have to do your own checkout. I do prefer that. It makes it a lot easier when you're buying breakables. Well, this looks like your usual Goodwill. I see a Heather Goldmink piece, but a lot of chips and no base. This looks like it is sandwich patterned by Tiara, made into a two-tiered tray. This one has a Treasure Craft Pig cookie jar. Oh, with a broken foot. Darn it. But $35, my gosh. They priced it like it was in good shape. The big beer bottle out of a tamarind is kind of interesting. For those who collect such things, $30. One of these 80s ceramic casts with the green eyes, but again, broken. I don't really know why they put broken stuff out. If we're in the Seattle district, we'll see a good variety here. Some more. That is very turquoise. Very 50s case, too. Oh, yes, I remember that song coming out of my parents' speakers. Loretta Lynn, The Electric Horseman, Delta Dunn. Yeah, this is all early 70s country pop. Linda Ronstadt, Rick Nelson, A Long Vacation. What would have been on this one? Honeycomb, Unchained Melody. It's all in the game. Light blue translucent vinyl and alternative artwork. That does not strike me as being a signature. Who is this? It's never been opened. It's $20. Followed by Christmas with the Chimp Monks. You never know what order these albums are going to be in here. Oh, there's a few of these. Apparently not too limited in edition. Well, we've got books. I'm not seeing vintage. I'm looking. A tough sell, especially newer ones. This one is priced at $70. A little tea trolley there. These look like they were from some grandparent's house and they're in immaculate condition. The upholstery is pretty groovy. The chairs are rather traditional for that upholstery. You're asking $25 a piece for the men's and ladies. Plastic wheels. This is a 60s piece in maple. Very, very good quality. Just not a lot of call for this wood except in the areas where this was made originally in Indiana and along the Ohio River. $50 on the corner cupboard. I'll bet all of that came from the same house. This Goodwill seems to have some craft supplies, some sewing notions. They even have a row with tools. So I'd say this might be the Seattle district because they tend to have all the categories. They don't cherry pick everything. Let's see what's on the carts coming out now. Ball jars, shoes, anything down there? They have a lot of planters and vases. Lots of pretty things. Nothing old though. This may be Bischoff glass from West Virginia because of the bubbles being a little uncontrolled, but it is hand-blown. I'd say it's definitely American. It's $15. That modernist bubble with the traditional ruffle is sort of an odd combination to my eye. This is a very odd glass animal. Oh, and the head, which was just glued on or put on with a very light gather of glass, is not only separate but priced separately. Okay, that's a little silly. I think someone found that they went together and is trying to tell them something, but I'll leave it that way so it doesn't get broken. Early 80s leonard silver plate with lots of corks from lots of parties. Is this a single bookend? Interesting, it's Canadian with lots of stars where the major cities are. I suspect this was given out by some company, but we don't have the other piece. Somebody told me I was the Bob Ross of antiques, which I kind of like, but there's no tea ahead of me. These religious figures are from Hobby Lobby, and they are plastic. This looks like Italian because of the broken section with the dots. Blue Ridge and the American companies didn't do that, and sure enough, it says Italy. This should be from about 1970. The wear tended to be really thinly glazed, and you'll see little chips, so really have to check it closely. I think this is a Florence figurine, looking at how delicately painted the face is, and she has a lace collar. Unfortunately, she has a broken thumb, and I am wrong. She's Napko. This is the period of time when Napko started really stepping up their game and having some very good quality things made in Japan that took out Florence Ceramics and some of the other companies that made similar pieces here in the States. A Dwight Schrute bobblehead. Well, eventually. This is a McCoy wall pocket. Oh, but damaged again. Darn it. I'm finding things here, just not finding things in good condition. Oh yeah, supplied gravel. 1950s. They were a dollar a pair originally. Now I'm betting they're three or four. Oh, two. Not bad. Here's a true antique. This little teapot with the free-form hand painting. My guess is this is Japanese, looking at the openness of the flowers. Big hairline crack, though, unfortunately. Oh, a Mexican mocajete. I'd like to have a big one with a big pestle. Oh boy, there's some piles in the art pile. Decapodge from the late 70s. This looks like a go-along with epishem. It's made of metal. It's $35, so it'd have to be pretty special to go home with us. Oh, made in Taiwan. Interesting. I wonder if they just were copying the English pattern. If you look at the transfer, it's not really as well done when you look up close, but I bet it was contemporary with that pattern around 1985 or 90. Let's check to see if there's any good old marks on here. Newer. You can tell just by the quality that that one's newer because it's not very good quality. The one below it is finished better because it's a lodge. When you see this flashing, you can tell almost without even turning it over and how uneven this is that this is recent and not well made. I wish they had more pieces of this. This is Royal Albert Memory Lane. I saw a bunch of the I think sometimes the donations get spread out between a few places, so if you have more than one in your town, it pays to go to all of them. If you're looking for certain things you've seen, they might be everywhere at the same time. Japanese luster. A little shroud set. Also Japanese scenic wear. These were done by Homer Laughlin. Part of the Rhythm line. $3 each in around the late 40s. This looks like a Shelley under here. Now we're talking. The shape definitely looks like Shelley. Oh yes, this is the Dainty Blank. Very cute with the orange blossoms. Only $3. Even without a saucer this is worth getting, and we shall, but we're going to look for the saucer now. If it doesn't look quite as well defined as Blue Mountain Pottery, it's probably McMaster, which was done in Dundas in Ontario. This is nice that it has its original label from the late 60s. Using rich red clays in the historic Dundas Valley, and in French as well. There's the creamer that goes with that rhythm pattern. Now where are they hiding the saucers? There's an old RS Germany without a lid. Alright, a stack of saucers here. Let's take a look. Hoping against hope we find the match. That's Leften. Those are Japanese. Okay, not that stack. Here are a bunch more of the Homer Laughlin pattern. You can see their mark on the back with the date code of 1956. We've got a big stack of the dishes. This is why you have to look at thrift stores pretty thoroughly, because things are not always put together where you're going to find them in one place. Duncan and Miller's Caribbean pattern. This is a little more expensive variation on the same theme that Manhattan glass did. This was elegant depression glass, and Manhattan was regular depression glass. Big spice of life down there, but they want more than I want to pay for that. Cute little egg cups with a fired on color from about 1940. Yeah, the bad news is I'm seeing saucers taped to the pieces that they knew went together, so I'm thinking I'm not going to find the saucer for this. But I am going to look in one more place, which is this stack here, but those are too small. Blue Willow. Yep, no luck. There's another piece of Franciscan Hacienda that we saw earlier that there's a tight hairline down it. There are some buyers for any of this stuff with this interesting patterning. It's all going to say, well, it's backwards. Here, let me show you. Oven X. Better if it's not rusty, but people really like this look. This was a thing that they did to give you a little bit of pattern when you were doing your loaves back in about 1950. Oh, I see a silver plate buyer. I'm looking for silver rather than plate in all of this. Sometimes the little plain pieces are the best bet that these are very shiny. I think that's the other piece I should tell her that goes with what she just picked up. One piece of 30s aluminum with poinsettias. Okay, here's where the dishes are, and I had not given up complete hope that I might find that saucer, so we're just going to keep looking. Is this one of the Eva Zeisel for Hall? The bouquet pattern? Oh no, interesting. It's by Enoch Wedgwood, actually. Wildflowers of the Southern United States. That is pretty similar pattern. Johann Havel and Platter. I do like these made in Germany and other places in the late 80s. There are three of them. You could use those as a candle arrangement, but it would cost you $12. Wedgwood Christmas Plates. Buckingham Palace. The Houses of Parliament in 1970. Six dollars each. Amazing, considering they were more than that when they were new, and that was 57 years ago. This looks 1930s or 40s. I just put out a bunch of Homer Loughlin in a, I think, honestly better pattern than this today in Snohomish. That pattern's a little ruse. Beer tastes better in Snohomish. Hmm, I haven't tried that theory. These are bean plates. These are one collector plate that still do have a following. They're ten dollars each. I don't know that there's enough room in them. There are a bunch of these in the Washington State Governor's Mansion, though. Okay, there are saucers in some of these stacks, so we've got to look really carefully. This is where you start spending a lot of time in thrift stores trying to match things. Oh my, this moment feels a little far in the past now. Doesn't take long. 2008's been 17 years ago. Let's take a look in the jewelry really quickly. This all seems newer. There's bags and bags and bags of it, but when I see nothing but new on the top surface, I start to get a little cross-eyed. Faux turquoise. We're certainly seeing a lot of that these days because real turquoise is popular. It's the best piece of furniture in the whole place. This is solid oak. Press carved front, it looks like, with three doors. $40. Wow, that's a pretty darn good deal. If you like antiques, that could be something you put your television on. There's plenty of room and it is definitely old. It is missing one piece of hardware there. We did it. We made the rounds. We found something at every store. One or two things per thrift store is a pretty good record for me because I'm only looking for antique and vintage and I'm not looking for some of the stuff other resellers are, so I consider it a success. I have to go on eBay and see if I can find a saucer to match this cup, or if not, we'll just sell it to someone else who can find the match. So I had a lot of fun taking you around.
