Thrifting Frenzy at the Flea Market

It is a blustery day at the Webster's Swap Meet here in Florida. It is the day after the Mount Dora Antique Show and I sold a ton and I need to replenish. So I've got my coat, and I've got my hat, and I've got money and I'm ready to shop. I mentioned I'm with a friend of mine. This is my co-worker. Yes, it's Jocelyn the Crazy Lamp Lady for those of you who don't know. I think most people know her by now, but she's awesome and you should follow her channel if you haven't already. This is a cool old hat, and I know I usually model the hats, but it's so windy today this thing will blow across the park if I try to put it on. I like that. I wonder if it's by anybody. It's kind of got an 80s look. So this is Antigua by Colony Glass and this was a Wayne Husted design right after he worked for Blanco. He went to Colony in 1963 and designed that piece. They have a hundred people who caught on to those California originals. I always like the Delphite Blue version of this. They of course also did Jadeite. I like these pieces here. 25 on this and that's Catalina Island and when it says island it means it's the original factory that Wrigley of Chewing Gum fame founded in California and they were actually the first to do these solid glaze simple deco designs. If it wasn't shipped I would pick it up for that price. This jug here is Blanco. I don't know whether they know it. Oh, they do. It's $300. They do seem to know their stuff. This is a Blanco Pitcher over here. I always like those. They're asking $75. That's a fair price. Shawnee Pottery. I like these. I think these are Abingdon. Yes. Same company that made the toilets and bathtubs. Loving the Flamingo. This one is $75. It's California Originals. I think this might be Roselaine. I haven't seen this piece before though. Oh, Royal Hager. Interesting. The reason I thought it was Roselaine or Red Wing is because Red Wing also did Ivory with a recessed brown background and so did Roselaine, but Royal Hager, very good. They have great stuff. All of it is priced at retail here though. That's a nice Rosenthal Studio line. Some of those can go even higher than $100, which is what they have on it. And isn't this fun? What a great cow. This is some sort of an, I think a European glass company. I haven't seen that before. They're asking $25. Great design. Wow, this is a beautiful hanging lamp. I really like that. It looks very 20s. I'm trying to restock because we just have the Mount Dora show and I did really well and I'm a little depleted. I know a lot of transistor radios sold there. Overseas Crusades. Time to trust. This transformer is American Flyer lines. They were made by Gilbert that did erector sets and other things, and American Flyer was a big competitor to Lionel for a long time. This is a later outfit of theirs. Let's see if there's any interesting marbles in here. That's a color combination that's a little different. I bet they have a couple of those. One's in better condition than the other. This color combination is a little more interesting to see. It's the three coming up together. I kind of like that one because it's partially a clearie, but it's definitely had a hard life. I'm going to buy the whole box of marbles for $15. How much is the Wallace plate? That's $25. $25? Yeah. That's a fair price for those. That's probably from his second campaign, looking at the lettering. The enamel work on this Geisha Girl whale from about 1930. Oh yes, in 1976, Pennsylvania was the bicentennial state. Now it's the 250th anniversary. Lincoln Logs, if they're wood, they're back to the 70s or so, and if they're wood with no plastic attachments, then they're earlier than that. That's the set I had when I was a kid. Lays and Ruffles Advertising. A lot of advertising, coffee pots and things around 1980. This wall looks nice to see the red enamel, but it does have chips. Let's look at some of the old chains here. Allison Fisher's. That's in pretty good shape, actually. Condition does matter. These others don't seem as clean or as scarce. All right, well, we're finding some things. It's so cold, a lot of people have their hands in their pockets, so if we're able to get our hands out of our pockets, we might have a chance to get some stuff. Acro Agate. I still have some from that big buy that I made, but the orange does oftentimes fluoresce if it's custard. This is not, though. This is an interesting piece here. I think it's a union case. I'd like to look at it. I'm going to ask the fellow when he comes back. Okay, it is a union case. It looks like wood, but it's probably Prutip Persia. It does have a loose hinge, but I think that could be fixed with a small nail. And there's a tin type of a gentleman from probably about 1870. Condition's so-so, but the shape of the case is good, and the case itself is pretty clean. They want 40, which is fair. I see underneath here you have a big President Ford button. Yeah. How much is that? Fifteen. Fifteen? Yeah. Five dollars. Oops, I'm sorry. Hmm. It's a little crunched on the bottom, isn't it? Yeah. Would you consider ten? Sure. Okay. I'm enjoying this loose-eyed clock with the seashells in it. It is a very Florida-looking piece. I wonder if it works. Yeah, I think it's missing its winding key, darn it. Flav is a flounder. That's from the 50s. Some small studio. It doesn't have a name. Very cute little flounder. Annalee Deer. Those are cute. Okay, so they said these are storage finds. Isn't that pretty? $2.25 for a pair at one time. It's bohemian. 19th century, but it's a single, so what is it worth now? Let's find out. How much is this piece? Oh, he's going to want to keep that. Oh. That was strange. I was told that the person who brought it here wants to keep it. Why is it here? We'll try again and see if they'll sell us this. Because I think that's very cute with the very thin, where you see the light through it. This is Yadro. We'll see if they take this one away from me, but I'll try to buy it. It is fun that they're unloading stuff from a storage unit. I have someone who does collect Masonic, and it's interesting because it's an anniversary piece from 1928 by Lambert and Scammell, China. This is a great perfume bottle, but it's missing an atomizer. You can replace them. That looks like it's from the 60s. The glaze is a little burnt on this, but these Czech pieces from the 30s are pretty popular with collectors. The big enamel flapjack turner, but it's a little beaten. We are going back and forth, because they are pulling lots of stuff out from this storage unit as we watch, so everyone is assembled here. Old photo album. Let's see if there's anything interesting. It's an old tintype. That looks like my grandmother around 1925. Looks like a few generations of photos. These seem to be Michiganders. I see Sault Ste. Marie on one of the carte de vistas. It is definitely storage locker stuff, because it really runs the gamut from really cool to, well, kind of just junk. This little building here is a Wade Whimsey, and if it's not much money, those are worth getting. They sell for $10 or $12 usually. They have just boxes and boxes full. I see an Elmer Thud glass, and some cafe ware there. A piece of Westmoreland, the black. Let's see what's on the front of it. It's actually a purple plate, and it's Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Confederacy. Usually you don't mind if you help them, when they just pull it out like this. That's Arkansas by Vernon Kilms. Texas with the brands. That one's actually a little easier sell than some. There's a whole bunch of different plates from all over the place, but not many from places that I sell, and because they don't sell for its own, I really look for particular ones from particular places. There's New Mexico. Ah, Kentucky. There we go. Got the Teak Sock Show coming in Michigan, and I sell in Kentucky, so those are the two for me. One way to get people to help you take your stuff out, and then we have fun, and they don't have to do as much work, because this looks like a lot of work. That's a Solomon kind of lamp, but it's got some corrosion. It probably could be cleaned up. It's got a lucite base. We'll see if it's fixable. So I scraped at it with my finger, and it came right off, which means that with some fine steel wool, we should be able to make this pretty again, and that's a good piece, actually. If it's cheap, I'll get it. In spite of the cold and wind, a lot of people are out. These people have good things, but I think I saw them at Mount Dora. Some of the dealers from Mount Dora actually drive here and set up the next day, which is so much work, but, you know, it's another great place to sell. This is right out of the 60s. It looks like the kind of electronics my dad would bring home from his job after they became obsolete. Lots of silver jewelry, but prices are what they should be these days. Someone is having fun repurposing tables and luggage and things as art. That's kind of interesting. It's contemporary, but it's cool. We're heading back to the feeding frenzy, but we are going to quickly scan these tables and see if anything comes out that's interesting. This is neat because it's a Singer featherweight, and it's in the table, and the table was also supplied by Singer, and so those tables, if you see these, are worth a hundred and something on their own. I like this. These would have been from the top of a bar, and they say pen and pencil holder, but actually they held foam scrapers and little napkins originally or coasters. Iron City beer. That's cool. It's got a little crack, but it's a nice old piece. An older gas station. This is from the 50s. Wooden pumps. That's cute, and it's got the plastic doors, which did tend to warp in heat, but actually they're still there, and that's important. Back to the feeding frenzy. Let's see what else they might have put out or might be sitting in a bin that someone hasn't gone through. State of New York. Dinosaurs. Kiss the Baby. Yes, a Disney program. Gotta love me, I'm the baby. I'm not so sure about that. She does look haunted and possessed, but she's got wings, so she must be nice. Yeah, she must be nice. Or she's in disguise. That's awesome. The eyeballs are fluttering all by themselves. That is creepy and interesting and fun. You should get it. This is cool. This is one of these educator things. This one has the presidents, and you would gently wind this, and it goes all the way to FDR in 1933. They started making these in the teens, but this one is a little later. It looks like it's in good condition. That's the important point, and I like that. I'll have to ask about that. I also like these tables, so we'll ask about those. I like stackers, and therefore my kids, they have a good look. Blue Lesterwear tea set. Well, mostly. Haven't found the beamer yet. There's an arm from a Fenton lamp. Obsession for men, but it's a little damaged. These are Arizona cactus glasses he's getting out for us here, and I think this is Metlock's color stack, if I'm not mistaken. These are from the 80s. Yes, ma'am. Very nice pattern. That is similar to Fiesta. This is very sweet. Looks 1920s. Would have been a pillow. I like this sort of work, and it's applied. That would be interesting at a price. This is a basket quilt top. It's just a top. It's a little chewed at the corner, unfortunately. Some things that have been in storage have not lasted as well as others. Ah, I see you're accumulating another handful. Yeah, because I did a show and tell when I got back to the house. We were in with all the relatives and everything. And they were like, we didn't see any of this stuff. I know, right? Yeah, well, because you got it first. This guy's doing all right behind you, too. These are ceramic art studios, and they're very cute, but the quarter couples are not as popular as some of their other lines. A little chintz creamer by itself, and a couple of pieces of harlequin in the nice green color that came out in the 50s. I especially like the gravy boat. The bowl is a little bit scratched, but I might be interested in this. These are a little snazzier Christmas plates. These are Santa Clara porcelain from Spain. They made about $5,000 each in the 1970s, and they're a fun modernist design and a little bit more mid-century looking than some of the other ones. $12 is some old store price. The Christmas plates don't typically sell for a lot, but I think a lot of people haven't seen these, so I'm going to look into those. Let's see who you are. Oh, I have some mid-century blue ceramic, but no name. We're going to look at a little jewelry because I haven't found any today, and I could use some. I sold quite a bit the last two shows. I don't see anything really grabbing me here, though. And some pretty chintz plates with the butterflies, but unfortunately I think these are newer than they look. Let's take a look and find out. Oh, no, that's Wade Heath from England. Oh, that is very sweet. I'll take that. Grim Wade's. That's a little sting. This is Paisley Chintz. I've always liked that. Alfred Meakin. $20 for all the Scout stuff. Adults only. Oh, my. I sold my Eastern Airlines metal wings this weekend. We'll see if he'll throw the plastic ones in. Moo Mission blanket from the 70s, too. Would have been useful this morning. I like the Lester Ware bridge set pieces that he doesn't have all four in the set. Cute little guy there with the heart, also from a bridge set. Lots of other Sault Ste. Marie area souvenirs. Some royalty commemoratives. Ah, Andrew and Fergie. Well, with his troubles, that might actually be interesting. People who get notorious become collectible. This is cute. Knowles from the 1920s. We've got the cream pitcher and the sugar, but no lid on the sugar. Old railroad souvenir from Sault Ste. Marie. Gratiot Inn in Michigan. That's got to be near Detroit. I am going to Michigan, so maybe I need to have that. I like your match safe with the couple. That's cute. Oh, uh, 35. That's old. Oh, yeah. German Venice. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Teddy bears are stuffed in it. There's Strykers on the bottom. Oh, that's funny. Yep, there's the Stryker right by the fireplace. Well, thank you. Astoria Lido from the 1970s. I really like this with the pepper mill. It's one of the patterns that actually still sells pretty well. The slinky train, that's something you don't see very often. They did do other things other than just coiled wire. That's going to be from about 1960. Now, this is something I did not know about, but they're going to educate us all. This is Dentosar. Signed by Boré Cpek, and he is no longer alive. A Czech producer. They're asking a lot, but it's a beautiful piece of art glass. I like the Murano with the gold. That's very pretty and very shiny. They have good light in here. Everything looks really good under it. Joe Kliernan Studio. Oh, wow, that's beautiful. Great feather pull. Smart & Jobling is Opelique. It's very similar to Verlis pieces from France. They're asking $55. I think that's a fair price. McClellan Shawnee pieces, including the hand-painted, and one or two that are Puritan pottery as well. I love the 1940s and 50s hand-painted stuff. It just isn't being done anywhere anymore. Boomerang. I had someone ask me for a boomerang lately for their little girl, who is fascinated by the idea. They want $20 for it. I really like her because she has really nice painting in his earlier United States production. She looks like a California piece. I'm not sure who made her. Possibly K of Hollywood. Table full of pottery. A very nice Roseville apple blossom. This is an interesting piece here. $25, and it's McCoy. I have not seen this piece of McCoy. It's got the usual craquelure, but that's an interesting piece that is a little different. Love the head vases. $125 for the pair of these. These are actually bookends by Roseville. I like this one. It's only $25, but I like the mosaic painting. This was by Relpo out of Japan in the 60s. I would consider that if they might take $20. We'll see. That is so fun. It is an egg cuphead. Yes. Oh, he's so derpy. No, I have the dog. It's made in Japan. Hull's gloss glazes in the floral patterns just really didn't sell like the matte glazes when they had to rebuild the factory and couldn't do the matte anymore, and that's why they restyled in the mid-50s. This piece I always do well with. It's the number 103. They have 24 on it. That's a fair price for sure. This looks like Fenton. Ooh, 120 hip. Nice piece. I like the piece here, the Victorian, the Rubina, that goes to clear. Nice thread cabinet here. Also could be used as a desk. $3.85 they're asking. See what this looks like. I like the slant top. It's just basic. It is actually a lot older than it looks. This is Bohemian. I think somebody cut down the top perhaps. Is this a Oaxaca glaze? Ooh, it's got a big crack though. Jocelyn kicked up the tongue and looked for it. And she put it down, so I'm going to assume the price is too high. Now is this Sterling? Ooh, Silver Company. Not Sterling. These old lights from stores are popular now, even though they're plastic. That is the era from 50 years ago, people remember and love the Peacock. Railroad. This is New York Central. $50 is a pretty decent price on that. Passing zone signs sell pretty well for me, so let's see what he's got. $65, yeah, that's about right. That's nice looking. Well, you kind of expect there would be after being in a storage locker. Aw, darn, there's always got to be one. I didn't even get my camera out, did I now? Yeah, oh well. Pretty piece though, Czechoslovakian actually. Well, I think we exhausted this. They're having fun. And so are they. But I think we've seen it, so we're going to try to find some other stuff. My next show is Teakstock in Michigan followed by Springfield, Ohio. And so, I am looking for things that might be a little more primitive. Oh, the Baby Jesus from a Crush. This is the one that always gets stolen. If it wasn't shipped, I'd buy it just to have it for the next time I see a Crush without one. Interesting shovel. I don't really have room for that though. Turbos Tumblers. It's 5 o'clock somewhere. These are made in Sarasota, Florida and there is definitely a customer. Osprey, Florida. Yeah, we'll see what they want for these. These actually do sell and a lot of them are out of production. This is cute. This is a little lemon server when they have a knob in the middle to carry out to the table and have your citrus on so you can put it in your tea. Noritake. It's a 50s mark, but it's a 30s look so this is probably something that they did right after the war. Davis Patent Woodgrainer. Composed of three rubber rollers instead of two. This is something that you would have used to faux woodgrain on doors and windows or boxes whatever you were doing at the time. This looks like something from about 1920. There's the rollers. I think this might be fun for someone to use today actually. So, I think we'll put that in our box. Collier's Gazette. These actually do sell for something. Condition is a little worn. Somebody who was in the Navy in San Francisco so this thing has traveled. It's about a $20 or $25 book. Pinup. Damaged. Young men won for the Navy. That is a reproduction you can tell by the blurriness of the print. Little Kitchen. Aw, that's sweet. And it's mounted on some other print in the back so I guess it's a twofer, but the print in the back has foxing. I do like this motto. We'll see what they asked. Last of the Great Scouts. The life story of Buffalo Bill with the forward by Zane Gray, but it's a little chewed. How you doing? She's doing alright. There's a piece of autumn leaf. Oh, it's the clock. That's actually kind of a fun piece. They just made these out of any old plate. It's a little crazy. Old Hager Pottery. Now is that mottling or is this dirt? It's got a chip so I guess it doesn't matter. Big old crazy quilt here. Made of suit fabric. That was a common repurposing back in the day. I'd say 1930s based on the flannel they used. Maybe 40s. You know, at a certain point you just look at the top and see if it has things that might be interesting but this seems very random so like, that's cute with the applique, but again the foxing. Red Wings Village Green from the late 40s. Let's see here. This is Iowa by Vernon Kills. At the bottom is another Vernon Kills which is what I'm after. But first we're going to take a look at this. The reception and acceptance of the statue of Ulysses S. Grant presented by the Grand Army of the Republic in 1900. Did I remember? This is not in good condition but there are Grand Army of the Republic collectors who would probably like this. They did a whole series of bits of various stuff. This is the first time I've seen the Middle Western series I'm used to seeing the Old South. Even back then $10 was a pretty good price. You don't see the chop plate much but I don't know what the demand is these days. Really like the table but I do not have room for that. I barely have room for the little pieces I'm buying, furniture wise. Lamb cookie jar. I think that's American Bisque. This is Guardian ware. Ah, yes. Now they're emptying things this direction so this is where the frenzy has moved. I found a lid to that guy's cookie jar. That's a cool one. The pig. W7. Oh, I think that's brush. Okay. Very interesting. Cool. This is from St. Petersburg. Robert Lewis Galleries. It was a big gallery there back in the 50s and 60s. Ah, but see look how stained and foxed it is from being in storage. That's unfortunate. Trurian knives. Ford Mustang. Hubcap. Those aren't bad things but again in condition. I see a Peanuts book in there with the ghost. I recognize this from childhood. The Charlie Brown Dictionary. Not in good shape though. Storage units in Florida are not in good with linens and paper for the most part so. Like you see the foxing and spotting that's happened to that one. Okay. I think those are just clothes. Mary Hadley piece in this box and I just opened the box to use it. Turns out there's stuff in it so let's look. It'd be nice if there was more Mary Hadley in here but so far I'm seeing more of the cafe wear that matches what they already have out. Yeah, I think that's what we have is a whole lot of this red band by Jackson China out of Pennsylvania. Jocelyn said they were getting this out and to look at it. It's got a little bit of rust but I like the cut out metal. And it is a mermaid. We are in Florida but let's see if we can figure out age. And the way we do that is we look at the switch. Mexico. So it was probably made in Mexico and that makes me think 1990s or later. It really would just depend on the price because the condition is a little bit rough. He has a nice piece of Thousand Faces porcelain here and you can see why it's called that. All hand painted. Well we came back one more time I think this is a Victorian fabric piece. This is a piano shawl. Nurse book on Charles Lawton. A record from Uncle Remus and a pair of Van Briggle cablesticks so let's see what they want for this pile. I like the green base here. How much is this one? Forty. Forty. Very good. Yeah it's a nice piece of from about 1965. Yeah you did find some stuff at Mount Dora. This is impressive. Well the feeding frenzy was intense. Jocelyn and I both ended up with a couple of boxes full of stuff. There were two tables that are already packed in the storage unit. Really fun. Really inexpensive. The total for everything including the two tables was $2.50 and a lot of that was $50 I paid for this. It's one of those education boards. This one actually has a 1920s date on it. These started in the teens but this has Boy Scouts and that's unusual. And I know someone who buys and sells Boy Scouts stuff who I think is going to want that and I think it might be worth even more than the $100 that I estimated. So I was willing to pay $50 for that. Sombrero and you know I just love sombreros. This one is a Sodom and Style. It will look great when it cleans up and thankfully even though it looks really dirty and pitted I was able to tell that the pits have not gotten into the chrome too deeply and that I can clean it up. So for $20 I'll put a $20 shade on it, find a finial and have a $150 lamp. I got a bunch of the Vernon kilns on the last pass because I was feeling sorry for them. These are such great plates. They were wall plates done in the 1940s and 50s of various attractions all over the country and so I picked the ones that have relevance to places I go or in the case of Texas have brands around them and will go with my western stuff. This one is Mission San Fernando. This is part of the old mission series they did in the 1950s of the California missions. This tile is Dutch Utrecht is the city, West Robben is the company. A very typical scene. We see that one fairly often but again when you divide out what I paid for these things everything was in about the $3-$5 each range. A nice lucite with the flying ducks. I figure I'll take that to Kentucky because I've already got the lucite with the fish staying here in Florida. The red label coke glasses are from the 70s. You actually see the juice size less than the bigger size so I took only the juice. This is interesting to me. I believe it's midwestern. I'm suspecting the Fisher building might have been in Detroit. I don't know who made this. Henry Potter in the Fisher building selling fine flowers but it's a nice looking stoneware vase from the mid-1930s and I have a feeling that it has a story so I picked that up. Bob Hope Desert Classic this is one of those trees from the 60s. This is a Mary Hadley piece. Some of these have price tags on it. It was clear that this person, well this was some dealers death pile and I guess they didn't get it done before they were done. This, I love this pattern with the chess men. This is Carltonware. I've had it before in a candlestick. I like the picture too. This is 1960s. I did sell the other piece for approximately $5. I thought that was well worth it. This is a pillow slip here and I just really like this kind of hooked work from the 1930s. The cottage is very sweet. Uncle Remus that is considered somewhat controversial even though the cover is a little ragged. I went ahead and got it. The records are all in good shape and the colors on the cover are actually pretty cool. A book of astronauts for you. I got several books. This one is from the 1930s and it's about the practice of contraception. I'm sure that was considered something scandalous in the day. And then this is Lawton Art Glass. Charles Lawton was a great guy. I remember meeting him. I should have had him sign one of these when he was still alive. We just always think we have more time. So this was my time to have this book. And this one is on the care and repair of antiques. It's a fairly early one. It's mostly about taking care of furniture but also pewter, Sheffield plate, copper, china, glass, pottery. And I really want to talk about this so I think I'm going to make this the subject of a member 3 level chat. If you're not a member already, consider making a contribution monthly to the channel and you can join us for member chats. Generally the topics are suggested by the members. Sometimes there's things that I come across like this that I think are helpful to people. The train is a fairly cheap one but I'm doing so well with trains and have such a big collection I just figured anything to restock is good. This lamp Jocelyn convinced me to buy. It is really cool. It's Mexican. It's probably 1990's but it's got a mermaid and it's got seahorses and I think they charged all of about $10. Everybody passed these over which really surprised me because these are 2nd World War. I thought they were in someone's pile the first time we passed by but since we went back 3 times to keep looking well, I picked them up the last time. These are Army Air Corps back in the 2nd World War before it was the Air Force and they're in reasonable condition but they've got all the information about taking care of old airplanes and there are people who collect aviation stuff that will think this is really interesting. There's actually an aviation collectibles show in Seattle every year. There's a print underneath that has foxing but I really like the motto that they use this frame to protect so I'm going to liberate it. This is Santa Clara. Now Christmas plates don't typically do really well but this line does a little bit better because it's got a really mid-century look to it and it's not seen as often so I got 70 and 71 and I thought that they were pretty neat and they should sell for about the $12 they have on them from the old dealer tag. I have tons of playing cards but I saw this one. It was in good shape and it was done for Mayfair Ice Cream as a Christmas promotion one year with the Norman Rockwell Cards Nature Boys. I assume that this is from the 50s. This plate, I did pay $15. This is from another dealer but it will fluoresce under a black light. It's 1930s custard glass. I thought that was very nice. Something a little different than what we see. This also came from a different dealer. This is Owens Utopian. Owens was a competitor of Weller and Roseville. They all hired each other's painters and designers. They all stole each other's ideas so they look a lot alike. But Owens was pretty good about taking credit for their work. This is from about 1905. I don't see a lot of the Utopian line and I am starting to sell if I don't pay a lot and this only was $30 and I think it's about a $75 piece. I'm starting to sell these in that range. We see a lot of the Collier's World Atlas and Gasseteer from around 1930 but this one was in pretty good shape and I think they charged me $5. It's about a $25 book. Teakstock is coming on Mother's Day weekend so I'll be doing a show in southern Michigan near Marshall and that is something that you are absolutely invited to attend free. You can set up and sell there for free. There is a show for three days. There's also an auction on Saturday, a live auction. I have a lot of beautiful glass and pottery and I do appraisal fair on Sunday. And then this will go to Kentucky because it is the Vernon Kilns Kentucky State Plate. They had a bunch of other states too but I just picked the ones where I either do shows or I have some sort of personal connection. This I bought because I have someone in the audience who really likes Masonic things. This is from New Jersey but it's dated 1853 to 1928 and this is by Lamberton Scammell, China. And that was interesting to me. You can see they got it years and years ago at a thrift store for $3. It's certainly worth quite a bit more than that now. And I sold a Lenox piece to the same collector and I thought maybe they'd like to see that. This is the large chop plate for the Vernon Kilns. The Bits series. This one is Bits of the Midwest. They had Bits of the Old South. It's similar to the one we showed you with the mission on it. But this is the big plate and then the little plates would go with it so you could serve like a luncheon or snacks or that sort of thing. Or even chops of meat. And it is a very sweet Midwestern looking scene with the old tricycle and the Ford Model T. Jocelyn got some really good pottery by some good makers but I picked this one up because it's Glidden and Glidden was the first really successful commercial stoneware maker in the United States and they were trained at Alfred University in New York and it has rather a pedigree so even though it's a fairly simple piece I just thought it had a really great glaze and again everything was pretty inexpensive when you added it up. Noritake. This looks like Lester but this is actually 1950s but in a 1930s style I just thought it was very appealing to the eye. $14 is what they wanted for it. Back in 1989, that's how long this stuff had been in storage because the newspapers we were unwrapping all said 1989. This is fun. This is Carltonware. It's a sauce dish with a cover and you would just get a porcelain spoon to put in it but it's supposed to look like he's playing a timpani drum. Carltonware did a lot of really fun figural things in the 80s and 90s and this was something that had made it into their store and they were asking $9 back then. Michigan, Gratiot Inn this is from Port Huron where I did an appraisal fair last year. Really nice people with the antique ball up there. If you're in that part of Michigan or across the bridge in Canada in the Sarnia area or that part of Ontario go visit Port Huron. Really lovely people. A nice big antique ball. We'll show more of that appraisal fair at a near future date. The circle in the middle is the clue to who made this piece and I need to research it because it doesn't have a Westmoreland or an Imperial or a Wheaton signature. This is Jefferson Davis. These were done in the 1960s for the 100th anniversary of the Civil War and Jefferson Davis, controversial figure though he may be, was born pretty close to where I sell in Kentucky as was Abraham Lincoln. This piece I got from a different dealer. I paid $20. She's a very cute wall pocket head base. I really like that mosaic. It's 1960s and I think she just has a very classical look. I paid $20 for her but I really think she's a $45 piece in the right place. I paid less than the price on the Paisley Chintz by Wade and I paid less than $5 on this wonderful Butterfly Chintz. Those are both older pieces, 1940s 50s from England. This was part of the storage unit buy and it's Royal Copenhagen and it's just a cute little vase. Another thing that for as little as they were charging I just wasn't going to leave. This I think I paid $3 for this. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been in the news lately and notorious people sell. This was part of that storage locker buy the 1972-3 Milwaukee Bucks. It's basketball season. I figured somebody would like that. The candlesticks are Van Briggle, nice ivory color and they do have the original price tag of $17.50 which means they probably date to about the 1960s. This I got from a different space, Alice and Fishers. They only charge me $10. It's not a cigar box I've seen that often and I like cigar boxes and tins that are really old. This I bought from another dealer as well and I paid $20 for this which is kind of top of the line for these but it's so sweet. It will clean up nicely. It's a match safe to hang on the wall next to the fireplace or the stove and it was made in Austria around 1900 and so you put the matches in here and this is the striker and it looks like it was never used. Flat as a flounder, that was just cute. Jocelyn and I both picked it up and she said I should have it because I'm in Florida and I thought she was right. Although I might take it to Seattle. This is really pretty and very fine and was again part of that storage locker and I think cost under $5 and it is Yadro. I don't see a lot of little pieces of Yadro but perhaps that's the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. In any event, it was cool. I did not pay $18 for this gravy boat. I paid about $5 and they sell for about $18 still. This is Harlequin in the 1950s color and this is Mary Hadley and that was under $5 and very nicely painted and I like the trophy bowl with the fruit. I had people at the show in West Palm ask if I had a boomerang because their daughter who is 6 years old really wants one. If you're viewers, send me an email because I found one and I would be glad to supply it to her. This is going to Teakstock because I have a friend there who comes every year who lives in the area. Teakstock is not far from Battle Creek, Michigan and she lives there and it's not too far from Grand Rapids and that's where President Ford was from. This was another thing I just didn't want to see go to rack and ruin that was lost in the bottom of a box. I think they basically threw it in. It looks like World War I Navy because look at the footwear and the spats. The last thing I should show is the two pieces of fabric because in some ways I think these are the best things I got. The silk on the left, 1930s reversible, big flowers, nice color. It's a piano shawl. Probably Japanese rather than Italian. I didn't see a label that I didn't look closely but the one on the right it's just a plain square but this is Victorian. This is a nice Victorian piece of fabric. It didn't have any runs or holes and it cost me $5. There is potential for that to be a $100 piece. So all in all, we really had a lot of fun at this swap meet. I'm going to run out of battery before we run out of places to shop so I'm going to sign off for now but we've had a great time and I think I'm taking this sombrero with me for $15 because everybody says I look like the Cisco kid. What do you think, Jocelyn? She's running away from me. I don't blame her. I'll see you all soon. If you enjoyed this video, check out this one.
