Inside the Antique & Vintage Wonderland Where Collectors Camp & Trade!

Next to Rosie's Auction House in rural Michigan is Teakstock twice a year. It is one of my favorite antique events. It is so fun, so collegial. People come from all over, set up to sell, have auctions. We just have such a good time and I want to show you what it's like. I am up early this morning at Teakstock. I am looking around and snooping before the crowd gets here. We open about 10 o'clock and it's about an hour or so before and I wanted to give you a sneak preview of some of the stuff that's come here for the sale and also a preview of the auction. So let's run around and check it out before everybody gets here. We're going to go into the big tent first. This is Susan and Janet and they have some really cool stuff. The hobby horses kind of meet the candlestick holder there. I really like these Tonelove casserole dishes with the birds. They have one of the little crowns here by Fostoria. The crowns are really great. There's a lot of people who specifically collect those. A couple of Davy Crockett glasses. They sold a bunch of stuff yesterday too and of course they have a lot of stuff stored under the table because it gets dewy here at night. And I wanted to take a quick look at one thing that they had hiding over here which is this. It's this Kurok tray and they have the Roadrunner glasses that match it. You never see those together anymore. That is a pretty cool set. These are Monique sculptures standing and sitting. Very Elgib dudes, 1980s, 90s. They are definitely collectible now as is this Zell compact. I really like these. This has the confetti design in the top from the 1960s and this has everything. It's got the Zell Fifth Avenue mark. It's got the lipstick holder. You can have those refilled at a lot of department stores now and it's even got some of its original powder in it and then a little purse besides. So that is a pretty cute piece and $50 is actually a pretty good price for that. Howzart Disney tray in the original box. Poodles. I've got some of those myself. Resin grapes. Too early for me to eat that bowl full of candy. Ooh, $10 on Churchill Downs. I should probably get that because that would sell in my antique mall space in Kentucky. And then this is a very nice older Fenton piece. See the blue oval label? That's going to be probably 1960s, maybe even late 50s. And then this was given out by Kellogg's. We are not far from Battle Creek where I was born. My grandfather worked for W.K. Kellogg for a while. This one, of course, is uranium green so it's local interest and very collectible for being uranium glass and they have $20 on that. Down here some very pretty newer carnival glass. Look how nice this one is the way it's finished. That's a Fenton piece from the 1970s when they started reviving their carnival. This is Fenton Cullet. This is glass that was left over at the factory when they closed. People are grinding it and turning it into jewelry and all sorts of things which I think is cool. A couple of really pretty baskets there. There is a lot of Fenton at this show but there's a lot of other things as well. The dream pets are really great, especially this guy on the surfboard. That one's really fun. I think that one's a little more modern era but this one, the pink dog, is awfully cute too. And of course I love the tiger. Now we're going to see some Fenton. I like this carnival basket with the lions. This is really nice. I have this in blue carnival but I really like it in the Burmese. That will glow under a black light of course. That is the mint green custard glass and then they've got several of the animals. These are very popular with collectors now. Over on this table a magenta oval label. That's a 1960s label as well. Nice viking lotus piece there. The swan glass base. I like the emboli with the twist. A bunch more baskets. So there's some pretty good variety here. On this table there are a bunch of different things and I really like this spangled glass. I don't see a lot of spangled glass but I do have a piece of Fenton sample balsa marina in the auction today. Yes, I will be doing some of the auction lots today. You can catch that on the Antique Nomad live channel either live or if you're seeing this after the fact you can still go back and watch it and see how I did. I've been practicing a little. I have only done this once before so this should be an adventure. You can bring anything to sell to Teakstock but obviously certain things are going to do better. The prices on milk glass are really good. Look at this one. Very pretty bowl with the handles for six dollars. Two dollars on the little square dish. I had certainly gotten more on that than they are asking for this piece. So some pretty good deals there. This looks like a pilgrim glass piece here and then Bohemian cut through the milk glass to the color which is pretty great. Homeco. Get it for your home. I can't think of anything else when I see Homeco thanks to Fat Bird Vines. This guy's really cute. He lights up. I've had these a couple of times and $35 is about the right price on that. This is part of the Colony Glass company line and that may have been designed by Wayne Husted who used to be the designer for Blanco Glass. And then this piece looks like a Rick Wise Carver. But this is actually Emmet Bud Oveley. I have not seen that signature before. Definitely has the feel of Rick Wise Carver. That's interesting. I bet there is some connection. Nice little Italian piece. I like the gold with the cranberry glass which has gold in it as well. Interesting Ikea vase. There are starting to be some Ikea things that are old enough and out of production enough to be vintage. They have been around since the 1950s actually. I beat my coach. American Junior Bowling Conference. Ooh, embarrassing coach. Aha, yes, Wahoo from the Cleveland Indians back when they were allowed to be called that still. This stuff is still under wraps and people put some things away at night so I will have to come back and show you some of these spaces. But we have some new vendors here this time. I believe that this is Laura Law and her friend Tina from Chicagoland and they have really neat stuff and they were very fun to talk to. Pretty Fenton piece there and then I really like this. Look at this great mid-century hamburina design. And look how cheap the price is. Now it has the red label that we're a little bit afraid of these days but some of the earlier red label stuff was legit and I think this one is. And $29 is a heck of a price. This is nice. Benton glass with the frit decoration. So if you put that under a black light it's going to glow. And then there's a bunch of Frostoria coin as well. Connie Jean is putting out this really immaculate set of Pyrex Autumn Harvest Bowls. And this has the original box which makes a big difference and has scarcely been used. And values on these actual sold counts on eBay right now are anywhere from about $100 to $150. They are just getting going but I am very excited to see these shelves. I really like this one because it's got a bigger area in the center for a larger display. I have a couple of these and the shelves are so tiny you can only put little stuff on it. So I'm going to let them go ahead and do their unpacking. Oh yes a unicycle. I always wanted to learn how to ride a unicycle when I was a kid. Can you ride it? No. I'd love to try. I could try but I wound up in the hospital. Yeah yeah I'm not sure how anybody ever figured out how to do that but that is really cool. Really you got this at the Goodwill? Amazing. Troxel out of Tennessee. Yeah I would see people riding this exact one when I was a kid and think someday I'm going to do that and someday still hasn't come. Okay these folks are not here yet. They bring a lot of different stuff because some of the people involved with Rosie's Auction House of course sell resale items as well as vintage items but they do bring a table of vintage and their prices are cheap. I buy some things from them every single time we do this and mainly off of this table here and the thing I have my eye on although there's several things that are a really good deal. This is cranberry glass. It's got a nice etch and it's got an artist's signature and it's five dollars. This carnival glass bowl is an early 1900s one. It's eight dollars. They have a bunch of shoes here now. I want to show you something. This one is Kempel. It has the label. Notice that the seam is a little more visible than a Fenton seam. It's not quite as crisp. It's great that we have bright sun where you can see the difference. Now I'm going to show you one. This one is a Fenton piece, not Mark. Crisper details. Let's compare side by side. Look at the bottom of the foot. The indentation is the Kempel. The flat foot is Fenton. So there's a way to tell the difference. Now Kempel shoes will sell as well but it's just a different thing. The dealers are just starting to roll in. Rosie is putting the out for the auction. You can see her in the background there. Good morning. How are you? Good. I'm so glad that you're back and oh you have this pretty vase. I have this one too actually. Yes but mine has is not signed and has an F block on it. Oh interesting. But I can't see anything wrong with it so I don't know why but it's so pretty. Because that was their factory second Mark. Yeah. I'm not sure. I mean I see that the top is in a satin glass and the bottom is painted. I'm thinking that maybe this was an experiment rather than a second and they just marked it as a second so that they could sell it in the store. I think that's actually a really interesting variation. Yeah. How cool. You get the neatest stuff though and I know that some proceeds of this go to uh our cat rescue. Cat rescue. That's right. Thank you. Yes I wanted to make sure I mentioned that because I think it's so neat that you do that and speaking of cats there's some now. I like this Christmas painting on the fountain one there and this one with stars is neat. Yeah you have a lot of wonderful things to get. I like the Seth Thomas clock. It's fun to see some things that are different here too. I mean we get lots of beautiful glass but that is a very handsome clock. I do too. Yeah. I just ran out of room. It wouldn't have placed for all this. Oh I know. That's that's that's the problem. I brought so much and I it took me all day yesterday to get set up. I don't know how I even did it. This is really neat too. I've always liked that patterning when you see this in the cranberry and uh there's a Christmas pear with a scene painted on his hind quarters. This is great. You've got a really nice selection of animals. I think you'll do well today. Mount Deb. Hello. Good morning. And wow look at this. Oh you went to the meet and greet at Berner Brothers. I did. Oh wow. That must have been really fun. Yes it was. Oh how cool. And you have the tiny single Eparin in the uh blue crest here. I I don't think I've ever seen that piece. Yep. I'm I was just gonna sell them all together. I got them all together. I was gonna sell them all together. Wow. Even though these are actually two of the same and these are all the same and they don't match I realize but. Well you know the thing is is that they still probably were sold as a set. I know that the colors seem stronger in some pieces and not so much in others but they just put whatever came down the line in a box together. They didn't uh you know us collectors are the ones who get hung up on that well that one's lighter and that one's darker. They didn't tear. How much is that set? For the whole kit and caboodle it's a hundred dollars. Wow that's a great price just for this piece and the plates the dinner plates are not that easy to find so hmm well let's see if I sell enough to make room for them uh if they don't go to somebody else although I bet they will at that price. I think they'll be gone. Ah and a Joseph 17. Oh and the butterfly display. This is really neat. There's somebody coming today who likes butterfly display so we'll see how long that lasts. Elvis in Tampa and Lakeland. Okay I'm sticking my head under this tent. These folks were here last year. They bring a lot of different things. They've got blocks, wooden blocks for a dollar each. They've got a C-3PO holder. They have the candle holders. They bring a lot of baskets and I see some lucite stuff that I think is cool so we'll see what if we can get back when they open. We've got a bunch of people camping out here. We've got a serious camper over there and people just starting to roll in. Now they opened this back area to the public to look at some of their extras and leftovers and things but the auction is actually held this way in the Quonset hut. These folks are getting open here and they've got some jewelry. Oh they got a lot of jewelry. I'll have to come back and dig through. Oh this is a nice price on this thermoset. That's a nice color combination for one of those two. This was done as a sample, huh? This is a sample. It says sample right on the top. Phew, how interesting. Yeah that is something interesting. I've got a couple of samples myself. This is a very pretty carnival base done with the amethyst in the two woods. Lepton dog there. Old Zanesville potters. So you will see variety here that's for sure. Even boy scout stuff. And let's see what this moss or glass is. Ah the Jennifer miniatures. Very cute. These bell china miniatures are really cute. These look like Japanese from the 70s. I mean it looks like new old stock. It is. That's really cool. Look at those. I love the seals with the balls on them and this family here. It is really neat to see those and they've never been out of the box.

They look even better. I think she's gotten more but I see a few other things I haven't seen before either. This vase is really cool. Look at the etched design. That's a Brickwise Carver. They apparently went to a big auction at Brickwise Carver in Springfield, Ohio. Did very well and have several pieces now. And look at the wonderful Parisian clock from the 19th century. Yes, they have some really really really really really cool stuff and there's some cool stuff in the auction. Let's go see. Looking through here to see which lots I'm auctioning so that I have a better idea of what there is before it comes up so I can speak about it intelligently because I think talking about these things before you put them out for auction is really important when you're talking about antiques and vintage. Here's an interesting Viking set that you don't see very often. Look at the little pig bank. He's so cute. Oh my goodness. And then this is an interesting wall pocket with hooks on it with the Dutch girl. That is a little different tulip time. Nice Fenton pieces. What are the Viking fold pieces there? And Blanco said there are some mid-century things. It's not just Fenton, although there is some great old Fenton too. Look at this one. The jade ice bucket. This is a really cool piece that you don't see very often and this is early. This is 1930s. You can tell by the deco design. The alley cat in the red white and blue stripes. I haven't seen that before. A nice blue Burmese base here. I really like this green apron. Here's a bunch of various things. The bottle is interesting to me. That looks like it's but I haven't seen that design before. Fenton fern. Christmas trees. This is a Victorian piece. I have one in the auction as well. Mine's a different color. There is a slag glass piece. And then a head vase. Cute little Weller piece. She's trying to shake it up so that there's still a lot of Fenton, but we realize that there are other collectors in the world. So let's take a look. And I think that here it looks like they may have their absentee bids. So I'm not going to expose anybody's information, but they have been taking absentee bids on auction zips. So some of these pieces already have a bid on them, even though we haven't started yet. Nice Roseville ewer and then the Shawnee, Winnie and Smiley pig picky jars. Those are just great. Nice piece of glass here. And we're going to work our way up. Ellie Smith bittersweet. A good Buento Europa piece. I think that was an Arlen Bayless design. I got to meet him in Indiana, hoping I get to go back and see him again. Pretty Benton hat and a cranberry under there. And a lot of painted pieces. I like the bashful Charlotte here that is sitting in the orange true base. Piece of Ambergill pottery, a nice Victorian pickle taster, and a nice biscuit jar as well with the blown sides. That's very nice to see. So there's some true Victorian glass in here. Hanging Heart shades. I don't think I've ever seen those before. Some left in pieces. I just sold the Miss Priss salt and pepper shakers, but these are awfully cute as well, as is the bird. A Gibson Hanging Heart set. I've got two Gibson perfume bottles in my space. Here are some pieces that have some of their guest designer information in them that were done late in Fenton's career, and it isn't something you would necessarily think of as being Fenton on first sight. This piece you would. Nice chocolate slag glass. And then some of the case items. Beautiful piece of Bernese, a Viking owl fairy lamp. Those are really, really good now. And this is a beautiful piece of Sabino. We don't even have the lights on in here and it glows. And then this incredible Czech glass perfume. I just love Czech glass. I think that's fantastic. This is a very pretty painted European piece with all of the detail. And another perfume in the back there. A Fenton basket with the farm scene. The uranium glass tea berry holders that were store displays for gum back in the early 1900s. This is a Great Ape there, and I have one that's in a similar but different shade of green, so we have a few of those. I like this piece in the center very much. I believe that's a Dave Betty. They have some nice baskets here. Really likes the hat. A very small ape here, and I think that's awfully cute. Here's where I'll be sitting, and here's where our audience will be sitting for both the appraisal fair and the auction today. So, the absentee bids will be signaled from over here. There'll be people working the floor. It's a very interesting operation watching an auction, and especially sitting on the podium and being the auctioneer is a different experience than I thought. And then some beautiful Fenton lamps. There's always call for those. Now, here are some of the other contributions to this year's auction. Look at the beautiful exotic bird base. Let me try to block out the glare so you can see it a little better. Isn't that lovely? Hanging hearts here. A nice Bermuda ape here. Some more hanging hearts. Aren't the vase very similar to this outside for sale? And then there's a bunch of Murano birds. This one's got the nice controlled design, where these are a little more free form in this case. This is a Wallenbach piece, this porcelain. I think she's beautiful. And look at the wonderful bird on this Burmese. It's interesting the way in this case, they didn't blend the Burmese. They really made a very deliberate line. And then the blue Burmese here. And then these are some of my contributions to the auction. The unusual, I think it's colonial blue piece. There's my Jack in the Pulpit that's Victorian. The little Burmese crewette there was not ever in the line, and neither was the little figurine. There's our Fenton scythe. And then these pieces over here. The Jack in the Pulpit and the Vasa Marina were both samples. And then here's my Ed Perrin in a little different shade, more of a blue tone. This piece, I think, is probably Greenwich Flintcraft. We've got the Fenton Opalescent here, a Blanco lamp base that's rather unusual, and some Empoli pieces. Well, I'm glad to have an overview of what's going to be in the auction, so hopefully I won't be caught flat-footed when it comes to describing things during my lots. And I practiced a little. We'll see how I do, but I'm looking forward to doing it. Man, that is so cool. Yeah, I know. I definitely feel the same way. Well, people are starting rolling because the auction is soon, which means I better wrap up for now. But we will see you on the other side, and you can check us out and see how it went.
