A wrong turn leads us to the right place! We planned to hit a bunch of fresh estate sales today, but somehow we went to the one that had been going on for a while first. One look at this handsome 1920s Tudor-style home in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, and we realized this was a stroke of luck!
This house is a time capsule from its era, with all the original appliances, furniture, antiques, collectibles, art, and some crazy cool musical instruments from the decade of the Roaring '20s! We enter through the basement at the family’s request, where monitor-top refrigerators, wringer washers, clocks and parts, vintage electrical and house trims, and a few oddball things whet our appetite.
But it’s upstairs where the real fun is! This place has so much cool stuff, and it’s priced right for reselling to our collectors. We snatch a concrete paperboy lawn art piece, consider a stack of folding deck chairs at just $10 each, look at wow-factor 1920s lamps, and then venture into the kitchen. Beyond the 1920s stove, there are original cocoa cartons with great graphics that we claim, elegant glass, cool kitchen stuff, and a door to the dining room. Fun pieces of 1920s tableware, interesting statues and figural pieces, a player piano, and a huge organ set a scene right out of "The Great Gatsby"! We’re piling it up in our hold pile outside, and there’s so much more left to see.
Clocks, linens and blankets, chairs and rugs, wall art, and a cool birdcage that we have to have fill the rest of the downstairs with wonderment! There are so few 1920s homes left intact like this; it feels almost a shame to take these things away… but what a rare opportunity to see a place so true to its time in history. We watch a super cool Art Deco clock go for a discount, making us realize we might be able to get even more than we bargained for as we climb the old carved staircase.
Upstairs, we load up with so many more great old pieces! A 1920s tile-top table for just $30… signs from the old Seattle buses for each major part of town… antique books, a Hallicrafters radio, a puffy floral afghan, an early Seattle souvenir plaque… I’m buying boxes full, and there are so many more cool things we see that we could get if space and budget allowed! As it is, I have to run to the bank for more cash to get the assemblage we’ve found.
This estate is a slice of history we just don’t see anymore, and I’m so grateful this “wrong turn” proved to be the right place to start my estate sale-ing day!
Well I'm just going to chalk this up to fate. I made a list of estate sales today and I turned a
little bit early and now here's a sign for another estate sale. So I'm just going to assume I'm
supposed to go to this one first. This one started an hour ago and I did have it on my list. It wasn't
going to be my first one but it is now. A nice old 1920s Tudor house. We're in the Wallingford
district of Seattle. Oh heck, I think I'll take the house. Look at that beautiful door. That is
not the entry. This is. Specifically this is. Okay. Well, different way of getting into this
old house. Look at this amazing old radiator. Still working here. This looks like it was a
nice house built in the 20s with the original paperwork. Wow. All right there's an old Maytag
ringer washer. I've sold a few of those. There are some people who still swear by these.
And this is so cool. The monitor top refrigerator from the 20s. And this is the one that is not
painted. This was such a great new design when it came out with the engine on top. I've had one.
They're so heavy. I know someone who collects these and he had to have his wooden floor taken
out and replaced with a concrete floor to hold the weight. This is really cool too. Wow there's a lot
of really interesting old pieces to this place. Look at all these bells. That one's out of the
old Jefferson school. I'd like some of these but I don't see prices. Big old drum. $50.
Head's a little cracked but that's kind of neat looking. It's got some H2. Wow this is a pretty
interesting house and this was not my first stop. I was going to go to a place that had a bunch of
modern stuff first but there's a line out the door there anyway so I think I lucked out by coming
here. Free dvds and vhs tapes. Sears ornamental heavy latch and gate set. That could actually be
kind of a nice thing for somebody. Hang a light picture lights. People do like picture lights
for art pieces so I'll remember those are there. There's an old clock dial. That could be fun for
somebody to repurpose into something if the price is cheap. Corks. Boy somebody will use those.
Lots of basic kitchen utensils. A nice 1920s table that needs a new top but it's only $15.
Now that's when you could feel okay about painting. Price on the drafting table only $25
and it's portable. Yes they like their electrical gadgets and a lot of architectural pieces. Boy
this could be a great sale for someone. These would be good to put in a garden but they're
kind of light chalk where I don't think they would last. Somebody's gonna have a lot of fun
with this stuff repurposing that's for sure. They have the pieces and parts for just about
everything here and this isn't even the main part in the sale. We'll go upstairs and see the
house stuff here in a minute. Craftsman vice is $30. Oh fire cupboard only $10. People like fire
related stuff. This should sell. Broil master accessory kit. Looks like somebody's having a
The Swinging Britain. Beethoven, Handel. It's not a classical. Those don't tend to sell very well.
Boy this person did all sorts of crazy things with electronics. Ah, gauges and brass. Brass
gauges sell pretty well and they don't have a price on this so I'm thinking maybe they don't
think much of it. We'll see. Lots of old cigar boxes. Three band battery operated radio. I had
somebody asking me for CDs recently. Old console stereo, 20 bucks. $10 on this giant drum switch.
Oh if my dad was still alive he'd go crazy here. Nice old light cover. Next is up. I like the
painted stairs. This is a great old house. Okay wow it's fun to be in this house. I think I'm
really glad I came here by mistake. Teapot for $65 but I don't think it's as old as it looks.
Uranium glass. That's certainly a decent price. $15 for the whole stack.
Love that bus but I think it's damaged. Old match safe. $15. It's cute. I don't think it's $30 cute.
Oh okay, flat felt. That's newer than it looks. $35 on that little red shelf. $75 on the hutch.
This would have been 1920s. It's great. It's painted. Good price. Extra. $45. He's cool.
Let's see. Does this lift off? Yes. Black memorabilia paperboy. This looks like it does
have some age. The pillar it's on is nice. That's hollow plaster. Yeah there's some different things
here. I think some people have some cool stuff in the hold pile already but I'm going to go look
again. $10. These are just a great price on these. They have the 1893 patent date.
Made well into the 20th century. But they're just very handy little folding chairs.
Iris is cute but she's plastic. You'll want to buy it and send it to Raggy.
He's done.
Carte Blanca from Old Mexico. That's cute. $20.
Let's see if these are older or newer. They're very lightweight. Yeah, newer. Not bronze.
They definitely did this place like a 1920s house.
St. Francis over there is sold. I like the bridge went for $75. Foster and Kleser. $75.
Meridian Avenue. This is an old sign I believe. Or it's made to look like one. $25.
Does it have actual age? I think it does. This is a street here in Seattle. I kind of like that.
$40 on the oak table is a good price. This piece with the painting on it is just a basic terracotta
but it is older and it does have a mark here. Botelo Llamas from Brazil. Sao Paulo. So cute.
Here is piece probably 1930s or 40s. Little favor vases are nicely painted. Made in Germany.
Had someone looking for doilies but I think he wants crocheted all the way through.
The mirror has been overpainted. The birdcage is cool. Love the stained glass in this place.
Very much a 1920s Tudor that we see here in Seattle. Only $30 for the tile top table.
That will be mine. The black tiles are kind of worn. I will have to color them in. I think we
can do something about that though. This is still a great deal. Probably Mexican tile 1920s.
Well the pile is growing. Well it needs some restoration but the case is nice on this
grandmother's clock from the 1920s. Grandmother's being because it's smaller than the grandfather
clock and only $10. I love what they were doing here. They just were serious about the
antiques and vintage. Great egyptological light here in the kitchen. Would have been about the
same era as this house from the early 20s. The corn popper is really cool. This is probably
fry glass in the opalescence. The original Big Dumb Stanley cup. Those do sell. Ooh the totem
pole in Seattle now. This is the original totem pole that they stole from the Tlingit. The Tlingit
eventually got it back and then they brought in a new 1930s at the time totem pole that they
actually paid them to carve. That building on the corner is Pioneer Square where I used to work in
the antique mall that used to be there and across the street was the Hotel Seattle which was torn
down to make room for an ugly parking garage. So this is old. This is from about the time of the
first World's Fair in 1909. Made in Austria. That's actually a pretty good piece for around
here for local interest. Look at the wonderful range. Only $50. I cannot believe how cheap the
prices are on a lot of this stuff. $5 on the old toaster. If I didn't already have old toasters
I'd be tempted. And this is a cool store display. Banquet tea. A wonderful flavor iced hot. I don't
know that I can get $60 for that though. Old Vienna confectionery scale is $25. That's a nice old piece.
It's hard not to want to go crazy and buy all this stuff because you just don't see a lot of stuff
that's this age anymore at estate sales. And it's in this house that it was made for. Look at the
great graphics on there. Yeah, I'm going to take this too. It's a shade more than I wanted to price but I've heard
them making deals as well so I'm going to see if we can bulk. Eight apothecary bottles is a pretty good deal.
Old cake carrier is neat with the painting on the side. Maybe I'll bring that down for them
now that there's room. $15. Not a bad price.
See a little cordial skier. Nice etched pattern with grates.
These are going to be Hall China coffee mugs. They're the Irish coffees. They are the round mark
from before 1969. Nice little elegant glass. Love the orange thing from the 70s. A few little
children's oven here for $40. There's still a little spider there. $2 of the monk smelling the
flower. That's awfully sweet from about 1920. Okay, hires. That's plastic. Recipe box. Cocoa.
Old flower tin. $15. Acne. Hmm. Roadrunner made that. Allocation cocoa $10. That's a nice old box.
Our Mothers. Let's put that out where people see it at least. And then this one $10. Rockwood's
pure cocoa. I like those. Maybe I need to have those. Those are pretty well priced. Let's just
make sure they're real because there are reproductions but these look absolutely real.
No UPC codes. Laboratory controlled. Very shiny on the bottom because the bottom never got oxygen
but this has. Let's make sure the same for this. Yep, they look legit to me. For those prices,
yeah, we're taking those. As this one is a reproduction. First of all, it's the 75th
anniversary. It also measures in grams. And this says replica of our 1922 label and I think that's
why nobody looked at these. But these are real. If these two older percolators had their lids,
they'd be worth buying at that price. I've been avoiding the main part of the house because it
has been really active. So now we're gonna head in there because it's starting to settle down. A
lot of people have gotten their purchases and gotten in line. If you're seriously into antiques
and vintage like these people were and like I am, join us every Monday and Wednesday for premieres.

Wow, look at the big old Wurlitzer. Somebody was having a very interesting life. Loved old stuff.
Loved buying old stuff. Having old stuff. This is a wonderful piece here. He's missing an arm.
Unfortunately, $100. Were you made like that? Perhaps. Here's one of these match strikers.
Advertising from Europe. You would see these in taverns and on ships as well.
Fitz and Floyd. That's an interesting set. I think this is Mexican. I'm not sure though.
Nippon Morimura Brothers. Noritake. $10. Not a bad deal. That's from the 20s. Wow, $20 on this
very interesting xylophone. That seems like a good price too. Boy, so many interesting things here.
A tea party. That's cute, but a little damaged. There's just stuff everywhere you look here.
Yeah, I'm not sure how you would mount this. One of these little elves, but I think his ruffle is
broken. $30. This is metal and hinged, but it's near. Cute little compote. That's a 1920s Japanese
mark. Another nice Japanese set. I like the style. It's nice to see the stripes and not just geisha.
This is 1930s. $5. This looks like an old Stein. Yeah, this is German. It's not Metlock, but
it's pretty good for five bucks. I know the market's down on these, but
this age, 19-teens or 20s, drink all the time. Good advice. Yeah, we'll take that.
This is Japanese from the 30s. There's the mark. Rather old elf's plate. The ideal souvenir of
Oregon. Yeah, that is definitely Mount Hood, and it's only $2. We'll take that.
It's interesting. I think being in what has become an urban part of Seattle with a lot of
young families, this stuff, as good as it is, is not finding the buyers that I would expect it
would. So I am really cleaning up here. I may have to go to the bank and get more cash.
Cute little teapot. This is Spode. Spode Byron, a pattern you don't see very often.
And, wow, for a Spode piece, that's cheap, but I am questioning whether this is the original lid.
It doesn't seem like their quality. The tracery here isn't good. Metlock's Ivy from the 40s.
Nice egg cup. That might be worth buying. I have a friend who collects that.
$20 on the stack of great plates that match those cordfuls. Oh yeah, I remember these when I was a
kid. Luckin' Beer, made in Vancouver, Washington at the time, and they would always have some sort
of a cryptogram or something on the inside of the caps, I guess, so you could figure out how
drunk you were, whether you could figure it out or not. That's funny. I haven't seen these since I
was rather young and our neighbor drank this stuff. Turin pattern. Nice little Turin or
Sauceboat here. Hanging basket. Almost looks like Weller, but I don't think it's them.
Another Xylophone. Oh, I see these are from pipe organs. Okay, kind of a fun repainted cabinet here.
That'd be nice for sorting paper if you were ephemera collectors. Here's one of these 70s era
pieces, but that's just the trivet. Free player piano. Wow, saw the baffles and everything.
Lento adagio, andante morato, allegretto, allegro presto. You had the space for it.
Be a pretty cool piece to have. Let's go into this room. Burroughs Portable. That's a nice machine.
$20 on this little utility table is awfully inexpensive. I may have to uncover that and
take that with me too. I see it even has a pullout. Oh, that may not be the right lift,
though, because the pullout isn't pulling out. Satsuma set from about 1900.
India brass there. These are probably occupied Japan, these little $5 mini pitchers.
Sitting on a 1910s era table. Oh, actually that's a little older, maybe 1890s. Another 1920s cabinet
here. Oh, this is actually an old stereo from the late 20s. $40. Mercier Radiola. Don't know whether
this works or not, but it's got the turntable in there. That would be cool. And here is,
I believe this is a speaker. $25 for the speaker with the ship. Does it work? We don't know. Does
it have to work for that price? Maybe it doesn't. It's just an interesting thing to look at.
And it looks like the cord's been cut, so we have to assume it doesn't work.
Portrait of the Friar, $45. I mean, the prices are really, really good,
considering the age and interesting nature of the stuff here.
These are plastic Nancy Ann dolls, which is later. $20 on this plaque. That's chalkware.
Nope, it's plastic now that I pick it up. All right, let's go in this room. Baby Graham piano.
Beautiful. Pianos are not an easy sell now. $20 for this Crescent. This is a very nicely detailed
one. Paper mache. I'm sure this is Japanese from the 50s, but it's one of the nicer ones I've seen.
Then there's this guy. Chalkware. Really well detailed. $45. I think that's rather intriguing.
Let me move this piece back so we can look at him a little bit better.
Overall condition is good. Boy, that's tempting too. It's just an interesting estate, and I love
this guy's face. His goatee is a little rough, but this is a chalk piece that would have hung
on a wall from about 1920, and $20 seems really good. I think the fact that it's a Middle Eastern
design is not a plus in the current market because we're not dealing so well with that part of the
world. Docks and his bisque. I think that had a lamp in it, perhaps, originally. Like a perfume
lamp, not a light, but something to create scent. Oh boy, the baby grand piano is free too.
Amazing. I hope somebody rescues those. Cute little piece here. The Demulun table with the
painting of the ship because the Ironsides made the trip around the country in the 1920s
for the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Republic. So many interesting things,
just from a decorative standpoint. $15 on this. I think I'm gonna come back and get a bunch of
this stuff, but it's more than I can carry right now, and I don't see people grabbing it,
which makes me think I'll have an opportunity to come get it after my hands are free.
That is new. This, however, is very much not. Arrowhead spring water, only $15 for that carboy
with some really good graphic. That's probably worth getting. Old McCormick teahouse tin is a
$30 on this painted piece of furniture from the 1920s. So many choices. These are in Latin and
are various prints of religious tomes. Here is a Bohemian glass piece that looks like an urn
from about 1900. $35, but that has its ship. Nice pedestal though.
Here's another speaker. This one's on a stand.
I just love the stand. Could put a goldfish bowl on top of that. $45.
More painted furniture. That one's plastic. $100 on this rather impressive lamp.
1920s vintage again. And we've got some old clocks back here. $30, and it says that one
works on the ground there behind the plant stand. $30 each on a bunch of these. International time
recording. Postal telegraph. That's a great Deco one, and that one's $200. Those are harder to get.
$400 for the pair on these. These are 1920s high style Deco, so I understand that price.
I wonder what the price on the brass candlesticks are and whether they have age.
Yeah, these are newer. Not heavy, and they have that flap. That was, again,
original art for $25. Nice old landscape. $5 for the fireworks. Fireworks do sell.
Yes, that's about the graphics. It's really just these two, but for $5 that's good enough.
Worn chairs. $30 on the hanging cabinet is pretty good. That would be useful to somebody
redoing a house, or who just needs extra space in the bathroom. This tin humidor is $10.
This is just something someone would have had at home, but it has an interesting scenery too.
And again, that's just a cheap price for what it is.
Cute birdhouse here. I don't know if it has any real age or not. It's $25.
Let's see what the bottom looks like. Yeah, I don't think it's insanely old, but it's not
brand new, and it's really cool. I think I might take that. Okay, what's hanging here?
Got a lamp, and another lamp. Of course, I like this. This is cotton,
not acrylic, so it's older, which is nice. Really like to know the price on this.
Looks like... Well, it was a master clock, and it had slave clocks.
All right, I'll just put it in the pile. We'll find out later.
Um, the school. Oh yeah, that is cool.
I mean, it's just kind of a matter of, does it work by itself, or do you need this,
I think, the subsidiary clocks? Oh no, you don't need the other clocks,
because it did its thing, and then it just sent out a signal to the other clock right here.
And then the slave clocks would have needed this to work, actually. This is the one you want.
We've got a bunch of them. There's like four or five of them left now.
I think we're the ones in the school rooms, and that's how they work. They can't come down.
Kind of a neat art deco hanging right up there.
I mean, no guarantees, but it works.
Some sort of a 70s Egyptian fabric pattern here.
Oh, it's a tablecloth that says five dollars. That's just fun.
Yeah, I think we have to grab that.
Christmas carols.
Old Seattle Transit button before it was merged in with the other one to become Metro.
That's a local interest thing.
Kelvinator. This was the Nash Motors subsidiary that made refrigerators.
30 bucks on the painted table.
Oh, here's some cute stuff.
It's funny, a lot of sales.
We're looking at this stuff first, and here we're looking at it last.
Ten dollars on the cat.
Vancouver, Canada, but I'll bet this is Japanese made.
He has a little bug on his paws.
Madonna is cute.
Occupied Japan set.
Some older chips and saucers here.
No, I'll have to do good first.
Another roller piano here.
The MP Moller reproducing organ, and that's also free.
I think they just don't know what to do with these big musical instruments, but they're sure cool.
Oh, and a bagatelle.
I score Rolette 45. Not a bad price.
Nice table here.
Fifty dollars on the wolf lamp from the 20s.
Couple more figures there.
We'll see if those are bronze, although I doubt it.
This is a later piece.
This does not match the house.
Maybe that'll be cheap.
Ten dollars on the phone's a good deal.
This one?
Yeah.
Thirty dollars sold on the Olympia typewriter.
Oh, they're asking 80.
I guess they like that.
They figured maybe this neighborhood, that would be more of the thing that would sell.
A hundred the pair on the andirons.
Okay, these are older and do have some weight.
They're probably spelter rather than bronze, but they're nice.
Seventy-five dollars for the pair is certainly a price worth considering,
but they're a little lightweight.
Well, they took 175 on the clock, and this fixture is for sale.
Eighty for the pair under here.
Now, these are a little more substantial, but they're also falling apart a little bit.
They'd have to be screwed back together, but that's a good price.
Tempting. That may be someone's whole pile there.
Everybody is finding cool stuff in this place.
So, this is a bunch of people's hold pile.
Mine is outside, but it's getting so big, I know I have to go to the bank and get cash.
So, we're going to run a little errand and come back.
One of Wallingford's big attractions is Archie McPhee's,
which has sold really crazy, fun, silly things for 40 years.
The Assistant's Lead Thrift Store is a pretty good one.
We'll have to come back and hit that sometime.
We conducted an estate sale right down the block from here.
The house was basically falling down around itself,
and it had an offer of $500,000 in minutes after the sale closed.
They turned the old school into a commercial block.
The locally famous Murphy's Pub, where a lot of the Seattle grunge bands used to hang out,
along with a pretty good record store.
Dick's Drive-In, a Seattle institution that opened in the 1950s.
Look at the beautiful details in this house, too.
Cows.
And up we go.
Right, we'll turn to the right first.
Some more albums.
Same rug as in room.
There are nice rugs here.
Here's some slave clocks from a school.
That means that these ran based on what the master clock told it to do.
So, you would have to re-rig those.
Lampshades.
Plaster work.
Some more great windows.
Some more cool speakers.
The table's only $45.
Nice hall table for that price.
These are old things from the bus where it would tell you
what you were doing if you were the express bus.
We're going to 50th Street.
Via Alaskan Way.
Well, that's definitely local.
Auditorium.
That's still here.
Number One Kinnear.
These are cool.
I wonder if people would understand them the way I do.
Certain of these districts are popular to live in now, like Madrona.
So, we might take that.
Montlake.
I'm actually tempted to take the whole stack.
I wonder what they want.
Oh, I just found the price on that.
$85.
It's nice, but that is more than I would get for it.
So, we're going to leave it.
$15 on the old rum butter tin.
$35 on the old wooden desk is good.
This is not a stacking lawyer's book case or else it would be gone.
Screen to print.
Well, this sounds like fun.
It's got all the stuff, too.
That's even tempting.
Encyclopedia of the Theater Organ.
They loved their instruments here, that's for sure.
Oh, a book on the San Francisco earthquake.
Now, the spine is not good, which is unfortunate, but these are pretty collectible.
This is by a construction company.
They got it in 1957 for $2.50.
This is going to show all sorts of before pictures and after.
If this is inexpensive, I'll buy it because I find it interesting.
Automobile cord release can be collectible.
You're a good old car, but you can't climb hills.
This shows a 1931 Mercer.
Wow, that's a beautiful car.
And a Buick Riviera and a bunch of other things.
A bunch of architecture books.
This is just a really fun, interesting sale.
I'm sure the people who live here were fun and interesting in their way as well.
You can definitely tell that.
Here's a book on Sears houses.
Coffee stained, unfortunately.
Plumbing and steam supplies.
Old catalog for more plumbing and mill supplies.
Old catalyzed can do well.
The condition is not great on a lot of these books, though.
I think some has already been through these.
What is this thing?
Ah, a film splicer.
From the 50s.
The only way to keep you healthy is eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like,
and do what you'd rather not.
He he he, love Mark Twain.
This was done in 1968.
You can see this press board.
That's when that starts really being a thing.
But it's a great motto for the price.
Another handsome old clock.
This is a Howard Miller, so it's a little newer mission style.
From the 80s or 90s.
In here we have, well, mostly the bathtub.
A couple of really great old pillars again.
65 the pair.
These are good prices.
I mean, you put some sort of a top, glass, or wood between those,
and you have a wonderful table that you could sell for a lot more.
I just don't really have a shop or any way to be handy like that.
Love the black toilet.
This estate has been accumulating here since the 1970s.
In the 1970s, Wallingford was just sort of a worn out old part of Seattle,
and houses here cost maybe $20,000 or $30,000 at most.
The neighborhood's big issue was a gasworks full of PCBs at the bottom of the district.
It is still here today, but wow has it changed.
Unable to safely tear down this blighted industrial site,
the city instead turned it into a giant park, just making the gas plant off-limit.
It radically changed Wallingford because suddenly
the people of the neighborhood had access to this view.
And the result is now houses in this neighborhood cost a million dollars,
and it's become one of the city's favorite playgrounds.
Now the antique one they had $30 on, and this one is newer and it's $65.
So the antique one downstairs is the bargain.
Just depends who prices.
Different people price different rooms, and sometimes they have different ideas.
Here's a bunch of the player piano rolls that would go in those player pianos.
I'm sure they give those to you as well.
Another cute little painted dresser.
Oh, look at this from a child's room.
Only five dollars.
Wow, I mean it needs to be repainted a little bit.
But how adorable are those decals?
You just want to mask them off and try to do something to preserve them.
Fur coat.
People are not flocking to these in Seattle,
but they do sell to our visitors from cold climates nearby like Montana and Alaska.
$70 on this one.
The buttons definitely look art moderne, like 1950s.
You do have to look for separation and rotting, because if they fall apart they're no good.
This one's a little more stylish.
And this one is a stole for $35, but it looks a little flea bitten.
This is from 1950s also though.
This is the nicest of the three.
They were definitely into the old organs.
And look at this really cool umbrella over my head that I didn't even notice somehow.
I haven't been buying afghans lately, but these with the big flowers sell,
and that's only $10.
We'll take a look at the condition on that.
$75 on this lamp, but it needs a shade.
Battenberg lace tablecloth.
$50 from Frederick and Nelson.
What a good store that was back in midday.
It says late 19th century, so it wouldn't have come from Frederick and Nelson,
because this is a newer box.
And there is the Battenberg lace pattern.
It says this is late chain dynasty, which could be as late as 1900.
And it's an incense burner.
That is definitely correct.
Lots of good cookbooks.
Lots of nice lamp bases.
Toll painted.
This looks more Norwegian.
This is the first thing I've seen in the house that looks like something from our
Scandinavian tradition around here.
The flapper curler.
I just love that it's named that.
And I'm glad they use painter's tape, because hopefully,
yeah, it took a little of the stuff off, but not too bad.
That is what curling irons look like when they first became electric.
If it had a cute graphic of a flapper, it would go with me.
This table is interesting looking.
I think that's also a Scandinavian design.
I feel like we had one of these at an estate sale once.
I don't quite remember the story.
A little music cabinet here.
Only $10.
Boy, they're giving away the furniture.
And these actually sell, because they're useful for sorting paper they're getting in offices.
They're good for collectors.
R.M. Wilson oil painting, $80.
I do believe that's a listed artist.
I like this print next to it, though.
Maybe even a little better.
The Old Temple by Robert Robert.
Oh yes, one of these massagers with the bacon light handles.
It's a thermal massager.
They heat up.
$20 is actually a pretty good price on that.
I've sold those for $40 or $50 before.
And here's Seattle, what it looked like just before the Great Fire.
A little drafting set.
Oh, they went a lot for that, though.
1904.
$15 on the standard clock.
This little piece here is Gustafsberg.
They say 1929 on it, but I'm sure that's just a stock number.
This looks like a 1950s piece to me.
All right, more books.
Outdoor Building from Sunset.
That's probably a pretty good book.
Sunset Magazine books can be valuable and interesting to people.
Ghost Towns of the West, also by Sunset.
Tuned-In Publication.
That would have been of interest to these people, I'm sure.
Better Homes and Gardens from the 1930s.
And a bunch of stuff about bungalows.
A bunch of old radio equipment, if you knew what to do with it.
$20 on the Halicrafter SAE-5.
Boy, that is a pretty good machine, and that might be something I need to buy.
Yes.
And then here's the Radiola controller from the 20s.
So we've got this on.
The lights came on.
The volume knob does something.
We are on AN.
We don't have an antenna, so we're left kind of to guess whether this is just a
parts piece, in which case it's worth $40.
Or whether it works, in which case it's worth about $100.5.
My dad knew all about this stuff.
I wish I knew a little bit more.
I'm tempted, though.
Ancient fireplace logs.
1920s or 30s.
You can see the old fabric cord there.
Small trunk here for $70.
A pictorial history of radio.
There is so much interesting stuff in this house.
I'm sure I could buy a lot more.
Ooh, Disney Anna.
This might be a good bush here.
A little worn on the cover, but I think this one sells...
I don't know.
Only $14.99.
This isn't the one that's the big money.
It's the art of Disney that's really worth something.
Definitely love the old trolleys.
And have a bunch of scale model ones.
So we can see when we come back here, and if it's still here, they might give you a new one.
I wonder how much these are.
I know these would sell in Centralia.
Where I sell the railroad stuff.
Here's some larger train cars.
I just don't see a price on these.
These are plastic Lionel, so a little bit later in time.
60s, 70s.
French dresser box, $60.
They say 1920s.
I think it's quite a bit older.
I think that's late Victorian or French Regency era.
The American song whistle.
That looks like a cool thing.
$30 on this little phone receiver here.
Yankee phone.
Does look like a real phone from the 1920s.
I have not seen this one before.
Early wall phone.
Metal bookends in the original boxes.
I'm sure...
Oh, there they are.
It's these very basic utility kind.
Old heaters with lots of asbestos.
Don't want to touch those.
This hall table has sold.
It was repainted at some point.
All about all sorts of things.
$20 for that whole set.
$10 for that old typewriter is a good deal, but it's big and heavy.
Sewing machine foot pedals actually can be some money.
I'm going to take a look at this one because $15 isn't much.
This reminds me of when my friend and I went to the telephone museum.
If you haven't seen my shorts channel, go to the Antique Nomad Shorts
and you will see our tour there.
It was really great and they had a lot of these phones on display.
All the way from the first liquid telephone down to the picture phone.
Well, we have something sort of like that now.
This is a neat interior heating device with a bunch of...
looks like glass or obsidian looking things in it from the 1920s,
but that's going to be full of asbestos too.
It's part of a whole fireplace.
$100.
So this is just, again, another amazing value if you're out of place for it.
100 Best Short Stories.
Another 100 Best Detected Stories and 1000 Best Poems.
I like old physician manuals.
This may not be old enough, though.
Old lithographs.
They're not cheap on those.
Seattle down, and this is a great book.
I've got a bunch of these.
They show pictures of the way it was and the way it is now.
Reference library.
The radio boys.
Those can be pretty collectible and they're only two dollars each,
so we'll take a look at those.
Housekeeping in Old Virginia.
That's a reprint.
The original is quite valuable.
Ah, some of these little stamp set with a lot more with the dust jackets,
but these are from about the 1920s and they're seeking the lost Atlantis.
You can see the Egyptian theme and soldiers of fortune.
I think we'll take those for only two dollars each.
We'll sell those.
See a Don Blanding book in this pile.
A couple of them.
One with the dust jacket.
47th printing.
They made a lot of these because they were popular.
He signed a lot of them.
This one isn't signed, but I just love his work.
And for this price, two bucks.
Yeah, I'll take that one.
Unless this one is signed, I will leave this one because the spine is cracked and no dust jacket.
Somebody just bought both the typewriters.
I don't blame them.
Those were a good price.
Love this mission desk.
So much great stuff here.
I'm sure there's a lot of good books that I'm missing out on because I don't know the old
technology books quite so well.
Some of these are pretty dime a dozen and some of them are worth some money.
The Discovery of Tutankhamen.
In here, I think it's just office stuff and file drawers.
And one old pair of jeans.
You know, old jeans can be worth something too.
These are old Levi 550s.
Not a very useful size though.
There's a Project Barber chair.
I imagine this was very full when they started.
They said that was the third week they'd had sales there,
which makes sense because you can see how serious those collectors were.
Well, I'm a big believer in life that you go where you're supposed to go
and where you're meant to be.
And I guess I was meant to be at this sale because I spent all my cash
and I bought a ton of good stuff and I spent a whole bunch of time here.
So we will go on and see if we can hit other estate sales later today
and show you those in another video.
I hope you had a lot of fun like I did at this place.
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
