POPLAR BLUFF We find incredible vintage bargains in a Missouri field—wait until you see what we get for under $50.
Southern flea markets are fun, affordable, and full of surprises. When we see a group of flea markets together in a rural Missouri field, we stop to search for deals. You never know what comes next in these places—they are a mix of resale clothing, used goods, garage sale items, and many vintage pieces.
Only one says “antiques” on the outside, so we begin at Jordan’s Flea Market outside Poplar Bluff, Missouri. We see a striking blue Italian pottery piece right away and walk past furniture, lamps, vintage dinnerware, and glass before we move on to the other markets.
Each market offers something new as we find a $10 Blendo pitcher, a $20 vanity, and a 1950s Pepsi sign. We examine items from vintage insect sprayers to Weller Pottery console sets, along with motorcycles, skateboards, a Victorian Aurephone, a vintage bait can, and an unusual sand painting. At Country Bumpkins flea market, we fill our cart with disco-era picnic sets, a Camark pelican pitcher, a 1920s stretch glass set, and a 1950s smoking stand, all for under $50. We also select jewelry and pennants at low prices as we move through these vintage collections.
This trip also helps us compare old and new items side by side, which builds our knowledge as collectors. We pass on a mermaid figure with clear signs of new production, identify low-quality cranberry glass and a faux Limoges set, and continue to look for true vintage value among ordinary used household items. These flea markets offer both learning and great finds for anyone who enjoys vintage shopping!

Down in this little industrial park there are five flea markets.
In the South, flea markets can be antiques, they could be vintage, they could be junk,
or a combination of all of them. We're gonna shop them and see if there's anything good in here.
We're starting at this one because the word antiques is on the sign.
The rest of them just say flea market.
All right, well this looks like a pretty big place.
But there's four more like it. We're all right next to each other.
They say this is French.
Cute with the painting.
Fun bright color.
Looks 1960s or 70s and they're asking six dollars.
Corral flea for $8.75.
Those sell pretty well.
Pure lard.
This looks 60s or 70s.
We do see a lot of old lard buckets and prices can be up there and that one's 40 bucks.
I was in Oracle Home.
I didn't see any Sooner glass and here's three pieces right next to each other.
They're asking $25 for the one in the middle which is the best color combination.
$33 on this set of canisters from the 60s.
I always thought the wood was a neat look.
They have the appearance of dovetailing.
These were actually made in Japan back in that time.
Indiana glass beverage set from about 1970.
In the marigold they're asking $100 for this set.
With the roses.
These are from about 1970.
They've got the instant coffee.
That was a product that a lot of people were starting to use then.
Napkin holder here is priced at $8.
These are Japanese as well.
Brown onion.
They call this because it's basically the old mice and blue onion pattern from 300 years ago.
In a brown color.
They even have the little mustard pot.
Three Adventures of Davy Crockett.
A Walt Disney record with Fess Parker.
Back in the 1960s during the western craze.
Pricing $10 each for these.
Kenny Rogers when he was with the first edition.
That's way back.
This is a nice pattern from the 1930s.
Often called open lace.
And you do have to check carefully around the lace edges to make sure that none of them are crack.
This one seems to be in good shape.
It looks to me like a deep ivy bowl.
And they are only asking $10 on this particular piece.
For that pattern in this piece that's pretty good.
$42 on the old decorated wood ironing board.
A lot of people do take these old 1930s ironing boards and decorate them.
And use them in kitchens as extra space.
This one even has a signature of the person who did all this painting and application of decals.
There is a lot of just used merchandise in here.
Perfectly fine.
Useful.
Maybe something that you could have around the house that's cute.
But you have to look harder for the vintage.
This is an old piece here.
The little dog.
For $8.
And this is Shawnee.
The Saint Bernard next to his liquor barrel.
This planter was done in around 1950.
And there's the mark there.
They're asking $15 for that.
Which is about the usual going rate.
1960s lemonade set.
I haven't seen this pattern before.
They're asking $15 for the four glasses.
Kind of a neat fan and flower effect.
And they also have the juice glasses.
Some pink depression glass.
Including several pieces of Sharon.
Also known as cabbage rose.
This pattern seems to be selling.
They're asking $7.50.
I think people like it because the design is pressed from the back.
And so it's a little stronger.
And let's see here.
I think this is an old Snoopy mug here.
I think I'm allergic to mourning.
But that has been dishwashed to death.
As have these platinite with the color that is fired on.
These are Fire King.
They're collectible but not in that condition.
Looks like the mugs are a little better.
Yeah, that one's pretty washed out too.
You really have to be particular about these.
Now this one the coloration is still pretty good.
This is by Federal Glass.
Notice the difference in shape compared to the Fire King.
A crush.
I'm looking for just the Virgin Mary.
There's a place in Cape Girardeau, Missouri not too far from here that
has individual pieces.
I'll have to go there to replace it.
What's the price on this?
This is Japanese from the 60s.
$40 for 22 pieces.
That's pretty good.
There's the Japanese mark.
They're made of a ceramic.
We see a lot of these Toler style lamps from the 1960s.
They're asking $25 on that.
Crusader model from Italy.
That has a little bit of age.
The tank, $25 as well.
The gold cast iron rendering pot.
These actually are pretty collectible.
A lot of people use them as planters now.
Hard to hold a bunch of stuff like these spogs are.
See if we can find a price on this one.
They usually are in the $100 to $150 range.
I don't see the tag on that one.
I like these old laundry tubs on the stands because you can use them for
beverage poolers at parties and that's what a lot of them end up being used for these days.
Not many people wash that way.
Not for sale.
I mean, I guess it's handy as a dump bin though.
Joan Walsh Anglin stuff from the 80s does have collectors.
And this is a sewing box.
I haven't seen this piece before.
Usually you see little ceramic pieces, children's furniture, that sort of thing.
They're only asking $10.
There is a very 70s fondue set.
And they are asking $25.
Well, the fighting cocks here are $10 for the pair.
That's a pretty good deal.
These are a California pottery out of the 1950s.
I believe they're Stuart McCulloch.
This one has just a tiny chip.
Otherwise, I would take those at that price.
These giraffe are curious.
These look like something that were made by a home ceramicist in the 1970s,
but they've got a good look.
This is cool because it's got its original tag.
So we know the condition's really good.
Your best luggage value.
And there's a jet.
This is from about 1960.
And it was $24.95, then marked down to $17.75.
When you realize what things cost new,
then you realize why today's prices,
which are usually in the $25 to $40 range on these,
are not unfair at all.
I'm not seeing the price on this one, though.
Some cute salt and pepper shakers.
I like this one on the bench here.
Japanese from about 1960.
They're asking $14.
$10 on Willie and Millie.
The cows are really fun.
$12 on those.
Hogsworth to paper.
The prices are all collector prices,
but they're interesting and they are older.
Cute little teapot with the fruit transfer here.
This one is Cabot Shaw,
a company we don't run into as often.
Made in Ohio.
It was a less expensive ceramic,
a little thinner back in the day.
They're only asking $15 for that.
Some work on 1940s fruitware here.
This is by Knowles.
Art Deco pattern from about 1940.
We've also got the pitcher and the fruit bowl,
and they're asking $16.50 a piece.
Seeing a lot of resale clothing.
I'm not seeing a lot of antiques and vintage.
We'll hope the other ones are a little better.
Well, we're gonna go into Jordan's
and see if we do a little better in here.
Okay, each one of these is similar in size.
Oyster and Pearl.
This is a lot prettier than it looks.
It's just not the right color for it.
See, it looks a lot better when you see the pink.
Not on yellow.
I do see people buying these Sirocco plastic pieces
from the 70s as display shelves now.
They're only asking $10.
That could be useful to someone.
Pabst Blue Ribbon pitcher from the 70s for $10.
Safety can is $25.
That's about the right price on an old gas can.
People do collect those.
$25 on the black phone is not bad either.
More beer stuff.
These are 70s with the gold decoration.
If they had a set of four,
those might actually be worth buying
because there are people who will use those
in a home bar or a rumpus room.
Bottles.
I don't see anything significant.
These green water bottles,
actually kind of a neat thing from the 50s.
If you want to chill water in your fridge,
they work great.
Console bowl and candlesticks down here.
I believe these are Weller.
Yes, there we go.
There's the Weller pottery mark.
These are late Weller from the 40s
right before they went out of business.
And it looks to me like they have a big price on them.
They're asking $40 for the Weller cameo
you were in the back there.
Old coffee tins can sell.
People will use them as canisters in kitchens.
They're asking $20.
That's about the growing rate for these.
The McCoy deer planter is $27.50.
This one booth already has more antiques
than the store that said antiques,
so this is why you just have to poke around
in the South and flee markets.
It really varies very widely
store to store what you're going to see.
$15 on the perfume bottle.
That's Japanese from the 30s
in a lusterware.
A whole bunch of the Prairie Lady pieces,
the napkin holder,
the salt and pepper shakers,
and the toothpick holder.
And they're priced about right
in the $10 to $15 each range.
Two wooden spoked wheels
from 19th Kings era cars or farm equipment.
They're asking $50 a piece.
That's about the right price for those.
For decorative items,
the ball pitcher is Hollis Jewel Tea.
That one looks like it's in good shape
with good golding.
They're asking $40.
Funnily enough,
this might be the best buy so far.
People are liking these old poison sprayers
that were full of all sorts of
really horrible stuff back in the 50s
when they were being made.
This one's Black Flag.
It's a little rusty,
but they're only asking $12.50.
And it has the plunger.
I often see people marking these as Murano.
They are not.
They're very lightweight for their size,
number one,
and number two,
look at the way it's finished on the bottom.
Very uneven.
And this is going to be something
from Eastern Europe,
in all likelihood.
They're asking $30 for that.
More past polluted ribbon glasses.
These are from the 60s,
and they're only asking $1.50 each for those,
so those are actually a buy.
Anker Hawking's Forest Bree.
Now we thought this was a useful piece.
It's a batter pitcher.
You can hold this and then pour out of it,
and they're asking $20 for that from the 1950s.
Leather Rhino footstool.
They're asking $75.
There is one artist we saw
at the Lander Street Vintage Market in Seattle
who did these originally in Latin America,
and his are worth hundreds of dollars,
so they're worth looking at.
This is not one of his.
It's still probably a fair price for what it is, though.
These are the inserts out of old Kitchen Queens.
I have one out west that is missing its insert.
If I had the space in the car,
they're only asking $10 for that sifter,
but it's missing the sifter part.
This has the whole thing,
and it's only $10 too.
Great price.
I'd just have to measure and see if it would fit mine.
It would make my Kitchen Queen worth more money for sure.
Michelob beer sign.
Unfortunately, it looks a little damaged at the bottom,
and pretty scratched on the surface.
That's a hard thing to really deal with.
$20 is a good price.
$30 on a 1980s Loris watch cabinet,
if that had the keys.
That could be useful too,
and keep you from doing shows.
Western print behind is from the 1950s.
They're only asking $10 on this.
The color seems good.
It's a little bit abstract.
I think this was originally a chalk pastel
turned into a print.
Crepsi Cola.
This is only $25.
It's from the 1960s,
and this was the side of a display rack
in an old country store.
You'd have to figure out if I'd be ready to use it.
I know a few people who might need this particular format.
Some watt pottery.
Good price on the bean pod,
only $20.
That's quite reasonable.
And the pitcher is $15.
Very good prices for what those are.
To hell with housework,
let's go to Nashville's!
That's funny.
This looks like something out of the 1980s.
Doolittle Plastic Charles tea set from the 1960s.
I haven't seen that in a long time.
You have to be patient and take your time
and pick through these things
because there are deals in places like this.
There's also a whole lot of a whole lot of other stuff.
This is not the kind of shopping everyone is willing to do.
The big barrel there in glass with the handle is $16.
I love that people are having fun.
That is Indiana glass, $26.
This orange part should blow cat me in.
I see a piece back here I find interesting because
it is very orange and very 70s and very, very heavy.
It is a McCoy.
They were doing glazes similar to California originals by that time.
They are asking $25.
Funeral parlor advertising.
$40 on our best offer, they said, on this bowl.
I'm not sure how you're supposed to make an offer because the dealers aren't here.
This is cute down here, this cookie jar.
We're getting closer to Kentucky and
this is Noah's Ark.
Had a little fun with this pattern in the past.
I have the utensil holder and on that one they show two male lions.
This one seems to be a little bit more accurate.
$40.
It is a really cute line.
They've got a blue ronion covered butter here.
This is one of the Japanese companies from the 60s and 70s in the Vienna Woods pattern.
I've actually sold this pretty well and Better Dishes are good sellers.
They are asking $25, which is about right for that piece.
America First Last Always.
Yeah, the America Firsters.
That would be from about 1940.
Wallace K. Stary.
This is a local piece and they're asking $10.
Fire King Mugs.
White is the least valuable.
They're only asking $2 each.
It's a little later in time because it is the square label.
Here's a 1950 Coca-Cola tray.
This one they made more of than most of the old ones,
so you will run into this one a lot more often.
They're asking $45, which is retail on that one.
You can even take home a motorcycle from this place.
This was a very inexpensive piece of furniture.
They're only asking $25 now.
They're just a very basic wire dressing table from the 1960s.
Hey, everybody.
But they're actually pretty useful.
You can decorate the surfaces in a way that make them a lot cuter than this looks.
And it's guys here.
Bennington, Vermont was home of some of the first pottery making in the United States.
And then in the 1960s, a new company, Bennington Pottery, came back.
A little bit hard to read the labels on these.
These are 1980s colors.
The prices are very good.
$12 on the bowl.
It's very heavy and really well made.
Let's see who did this wishing well.
Ah, they say Rumrill.
I did not know Rumrill had a wishing well made for them.
They had Red Wing and Shawnee make pieces for them.
And there you go.
The Rumrill label.
If it did not have that chip, I would buy that for $20 because that's an unusual piece.
Apple buckets can be useful and fun to store things in.
And this one's got a good label from Roanerts from about 1940.
$20 on that.
$75 is a very fair price that should sell this kitchen clock from about 1890.
You see in the center there it has the brass area.
That is for the alarm.
You could actually set an alarm on these because they're being used in the kitchen.
That was before we had stove timers, of course.
The chicken on nest is hull pottery in their brown drip glaze.
McCoy did a lot of that too.
So did other companies.
Next to it, I really want to show you this.
It's a very pretty Art Nouveau shape.
It's a chocolate pot with four little cups.
It is going to say Limoges,
but this is a fake made overseas and brought in by the AA Importing Company.
They have really done a disservice to Limoges and Nippon by bringing in lots of reproductions.
You can tell this was never used.
There's practically no wear.
It's not a real mark for Limoges.
It feels heavy compared to what a Limoges piece would feel.
Next to it, they've got 46 pieces for only $25.
This is Vernonware by Metlox.
Metlox bought Vernon kilns in the early 60s and continued to make things with the Vernonware mark.
We'll see if we can find a marked piece to show you.
Sometimes they just say made in USA.
This is a pretty good deal for being pretty much an entire starter set.
And no gold trim.
So you could actually use it in the microwave and the dishwasher.
This is an Oriphone, or at least the case for one.
It would have originally had a bunch of interior parts that would have played music.
Now I guess you would just use it as a fun looking box to put your facial tissue in.
They're asking $50 for it as it is.
These are cool.
These are ends of a desk and it says 20th century Sears Roebuck and Company.
Because the 20th century was brand new when this school desk was made.
It's missing the desk parts.
But you could use these to make shelving out of, for example.
They're asking $40 for the two pieces.
Also from Sears from about 1960 is this piece.
A Surveyor's Transit.
They're asking $50 which is a pretty good price.
I think I'm asking about $65 for mine.
Big old toll painted tray on a table base.
Similar to the brass trays we're seeing selling for big prices.
But this is only $40 and that's a very pretty one.
Nicely done.
Greasestick Brothers.
That was a famous brewery out of St. Louis.
And this is one of their coolers.
The handle's a little bent.
They're asking $150 which is a fair price.
It seems to be in decent shade overall.
Jesus walking on the water.
$18 on the velvet painting from the 1970s.
Nice cider jug in the four glasses from the 1910s.
This one is Dresden, China.
An Ohio company.
And I like the great pattern.
They're only asking $30 for this set.
They said it's as is.
Now the pitcher does have a little chip right here.
Otherwise it seems like it's in good shape.
The Royal Copley Rooster.
It even has its sticker in this case.
They're only asking $12.50.
That's a pretty good deal for this.
I might have to pick that one up.
Paul China made both white and blue rows in the 1930s.
$22.50 on the casserole.
Ohio ARG was still making tops as late as the 1970s when I was a little kid.
And this one shows the cat chasing the mouse and the dog chasing the cat
and everybody is having a horrible time.
$15.
This is interesting to me because it's round.
It's a sand painting.
I was just in the southwest and I didn't actually run into a lot of sand paintings.
And now I'm finding something that's actually a little bit unusual.
Let's see if there's artist information on it.
Ah, yes there is.
This looks like it's done on some sort of fiberboard.
Sand paintings are made for chants and ceremonies.
They give quite an explanation of what the motif is.
Buy it brown.
$15.
You know that shape and size for that price.
I think I'm going to get this.
These aren't in the greatest shape but the graphics are really good on this one.
That's only $12.
This is a bay pale.
My buddy.
And I sell in Kentucky near the lake.
And some of the folks who decorate with these are not as concerned with them being a little bit rough.
Especially because the graphics are not in bad shape.
This one's old pal.
It's in better shape.
We see this one more often.
They do float.
That one is priced at $18.
The boy has a chip.
Unfortunately the girl is in perfect shape.
I know Hummel produced a lot but Apple Tree Boy and Girl are still collectible.
And the large size of this makes $20 a really good price on it.
Part of a 1950s Pepsi Cola crate.
A nickel drink worth a dime.
That was their logo back when they still had the two dots between Pepsi and Cola.
Before 1955.
And they were emphasizing the fact that they were half the price and you got more for your money.
That really worked for them.
That launched them into direct competition with Coke and a big chunk of market share.
I don't necessarily approve of painting furniture but this is a sweet color.
And it's $39.
It is actually a great deal for what it is.
Now this one is for sale and only $30 with the stand.
That's a pretty good deal too.
$30 is the cheapest I've seen one of these shadow boxes from the 60s in a long time.
That's a good deal.
That's why you dig three places that have piles of this stuff.
One thing about shopping flea markets in the south is you have to be patient.
You have to take your time.
You have to look past piles of clothes and baby stuff and rusty tools
and see what is really underneath.
Because there are bargains to be had and once in a while you find some really unusual things.
I found great pieces of boinko in places like this.
I found pieces of sterling that were overlooked.
You just never know.
All this is right next to Bullwinkle's Rustic Lodge.
Look at that great longhorn.
So while we're getting ready to go into Scooter Valley Flea Market,
please hit that thumbs up button to let YouTube know you're enjoying this video.
And please subscribe if you haven't because that way you can click the bell
and be notified of our future videos and come along with us
to all these interesting places on the back roads of North America.
They say they're awesome, so let's find out.
Pokemon cards.
A whole bunch of precious moments.
Now, another appraiser on YouTube recently did a video where they talked about
how we're all overlooking the precious moments and they're really, really great.
But they have to be the early ones or the really large ones and in sets.
Otherwise, the prices these folks have on these,
which are in the six to eight dollar range, are absolutely appropriate.
And they are cute and there's lots of varieties.
The folks here seem to be paying more attention to displays than the other places we've been.
But the stuff they're selling is resale stuff that's fairly new,
except for this Blend-O pitcher, which is only ten dollars.
That's a good deal.
The gold is in good shape.
You have to look at that with Blend-O because people dishwash these and it just didn't last.
And it would mess up the color on the bottom.
But this one seems really clean and I think we're going to take that with us.
So, you know, we are finding things today.
Cast iron skillets.
As soon as I see concentric rings, I figure that they're probably not old enough.
Another 90% off booth.
Let's see if there's anything we need.
It may sound crazy, but when a truck has an accident or a store closes,
a lot of this stuff ends up going to flea markets like this and being sold very inexpensively.
Organic fruit and vegetable wash.
Leather saddles, $1.95 for this one with all the tooling.
And this one back here, which is a little older and not as fancy, but a vintage one.
I would say that's maybe 1940s or 50s.
They're asking $6.50 for that one.
They also have some old leather stirrups back here and some old wooden ones.
I do have some people who buy these as decorative items.
I've seen them repurposed into various things as well,
so it is something I'll pick up at the prices, right?
And they are asking $25 for the pair, which is a fair price,
but I'm used to getting them really cheaply.
Oh my, someone took an antique at a jair and, well,
they thought they were doing a modernization, painting it in a very streaky gray color.
I don't think that worked out too well.
Hames are another thing I see people using as decoration.
They're asking $15 for the pair of those, which is pretty good.
They also have a crosscut saw.
It's funny, I see these out west in the northwest,
and then I see them here because there's a lumber industry here as well.
This one is $55.
$45 on the Griswold with the small logo, which is 1930s era.
This is the deep fish fryer.
That's a harder one to find.
They're asking $1.35.
They've done a nice job seasoning these.
And then this one, the shallow fish fryer, is $1.40.
These are by Lodge, but they're Old Lodge rather than the newer stuff with the big logo.
Lodge is well made regardless of era.
Well, they've got packaged jewelry here, and they're saying that a lot of it is vintage.
There's some Aurora stones, but $25 is not really a bargain price.
I don't see anything with color that's really jumping out at me.
I do like this mesh bag.
It's Whiting and Davis.
It looks like it's the coin size, but it doesn't seem like it has the top.
A Hamilton watch.
Scrap or repair.
It's gold filled, and they price it like it's based on real gold, which not the same thing.
They're saying this one is 12 carat.
But again, if it's 12 carat gold filled, it's not the same.
Pastoria American.
This is a nice shape.
I always like this piece.
They're asking $35 though.
I don't get that these days.
Oh, I thought this one might have an upstairs because I saw how big this building was.
So let's see what's up here.
This place is really big.
A lot of things that seem to be mostly newer pieces.
Useful things.
Not necessarily old things.
I have seen these old siesta wear mugs a million times with the Brams.
I have never seen them before with Conoco advertising on them,
so they must have given these away at the Conoco stations.
They are siesta wear.
They're 1960s.
They're asking $20 for the set of four.
They're asking $500 or make offer.
This is very similar to the wheelchair that Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in,
but maybe even a generation older.
Interesting that it has the back wheels and an area to put something.
So that could actually be a convenient way to get around
or have someone push you around.
It's in great shape.
Marble top commode in American walnut from about 1890 with the drop handles is $150.
Great price on the coffee table with the top that lifts off with the glass
so that you could use it as a tray and bring everything in.
It's only $45.
They're just not selling easily right now.
Behind it is a maple piece of furniture by one of the companies that does sell in maple.
This one is a Cushman Colonial and it's got the heart cut out
and that's a pretty good combination of things.
There are collectors of Cushman furniture.
They are not asking a cheap price.
They're asking $350 for it.
Well, we found one thing there and we've got two places left to go,
so let's see what happens.
People restocking and this one seems a little more hopping.
We'll take a look and see what they have.
Wow, now this place looks a little more like an antique store.
Liking their collection of old electric clocks and advertising
and their pictures of shoplifters.
Oh, too bad he's got a crack because that's a cool blow mold Santa right there.
This is Hazel Atlas's Modern Tone and what they did to it in the 1940s
is they made it out of milk glass and then they put platinite colors on top of it.
Very cute.
Now, $69 marked down to $48 for the entire set.
It's actually a really great price.
It's such a happy color.
It's not something you can dishwash though.
Someone made this tiny little footstool in the 1950s.
Very cute with the painting for $15.
$79 on this Empire Revival oak table from about 1900.
That's a nice piece.
I don't see a lot of these in this style.
I see them usually more in a spindle leg type
and they really are not as sturdy or substantial looking as this.
These are new.
These are Pioneer Woman.
They're usually well marked on the bottom so you wouldn't be fooled.
They're definitely doing a lot of stuff based on old styles
but the quality just isn't quite there.
These are cool.
These are Picnic Master.
They're similar to the ball picnic sets in that everything is self-storing.
They're only asking $15 for the Kelly Green
and this one has the original box.
They cost almost that new back in the 70s
and look how it turns into everything.
These were done by Janmore in Montreal.
The ball ones were done by Ingrid in Chicago, their competitor.
I think I'm going to take this at this price
because they actually sell for about twice this
plus shipping online.
Hamilton Beach Mixer for $125.
That's a fair price.
Somebody took an old frame and made a shadow box behind it
and that's a neat piece too.
$38 on the Thompson Lake Louise print.
Lake Louise is such a beautiful place up in Canada.
This is just a simple box camera but I like that front.
$12 is certainly a good price.
This one is a generic from the day.
I do not see any information of who the maker was.
I like these 1950s cigarette trays or side stands
and ceramic on top of an iron base.
And this one they are asking $35 for.
That's actually a pretty good deal.
In the late 60s or early 70s
they were making these rolling carts with wooden tops
and that was actually a pretty good advancement.
They're asking $59 for this one.
I recommend Hudson Cream Flour to everyone.
I also recommend if you want to chat and hang out more
think about becoming a member
because we have level 3 member chat on that level.
We have a monthly member driven topic based discussion
of some cool aspect of antiques and vintage.
You can check out all of the membership levels
and their perks by looking under the dash line
in the description of this video.
Loving the stuff they have up on top.
I don't think it's for sale
but the old Yamaha bike is cool.
The Dr. Pepper sign is from the 60s as well.
This is older than that from an old grocery store.
Now here's a little cornucopia vase
I haven't seen before that is vintage.
And this one is Karamos.
I usually think of them as being a porcelain maker out of Austria.
I think there might be a story about this piece that I don't know
so we're going to do some research.
I have always been a fan of this wall pocket.
This is Stanford Pottery out of Ohio.
It had a little bit of a factory flaw.
I suspect it stuck to the kiln and they had to scrape it off
but it looks really slick from the front
No, it is not the love that dare not speak its name.
They had just gotten confused.
This was probably part of a bigger collection of salt and pepper shakers
that were meant to hug something else
but now they have found each other.
And I have sold that for about that price.
Now she's cute but unlike the Karamos piece
in the similar glaze from the 1940s
this one is practically brand new.
One way you can tell besides the lack of wear is that big hole.
In the old days they didn't have a big vent hole like that.
That is a clue that that is not an old piece.
Fridston China is another 1940s era company we don't see a lot.
That's a wonderful lily vase.
$18 is a good price.
It's very very high quality.
They're generally not marked.
Italian bird here.
This one is $15.
Wow, that is definitely Italian from the 1960s
and that is just too cheap a price to leave.
Meet me in St. Louis.
A part of a big line.
This one's pig mama.
Staley St. Louis.
1950 era glasses.
Staley gave out a lot of these.
This particular one is supposed to be showing the St. Louis Zoo.
They're asking $7.
It is a regional interest collectible here.
Nice big old Tromner scale from about 1910.
Priced at $65.
That's a fair price.
Only $14 on the little Hull pitcher.
I think Hull is going to make a comeback
because the pastel colors are starting to be noticed by people again.
Railroad Lantern.
This is a local interest thing because it's Missouri Pacific Railroad.
That's Mopac that you see written there.
And then they have an Euler from an old locomotive as well.
Cox Warhawk airplane has its original box down here.
They're asking $2.25.
It does seem to be in really good condition
and they can sell as high as that.
A pair of old Santa Fe diesels from Lionel trains.
They are asking $1.70 for the pair.
And they've got a bunch of the early 50s steam engines as well
in the $1.10 to $2.50 range.
It's really the step up above that I love the most
but this is whoever owns this place's collection
because none of it's for sale.
Only $20 on a rather tall trunk face is a pretty good deal.
Towards the end they start not decorating as well
and so you see it's pretty clear near the bottom.
Carnival Glass went from being a premium product
to something that they sold in box loads to carnivals
and that's how it got the name.
German set here.
A couple lids missing but $45 for the whole set is actually pretty good.
These are out of the 70s and 80s but they are collectible.
$50 is actually a fair price on this.
$75 on the German toy sewing machine.
$38 on the Capodimonte box.
The great thing is we found where all the antiques and vintage are
in this group of flea markets.
This person likes the glass.
I've always been a fan of this particular pattern.
They have $18 on that.
I just like polka dots and bullseyes and that sort of thing.
Big cobalt piece from Ellie Smith in their later years for $35.
Treasure Craft barrel line milk pitcher is in good shape
and they're only asking $8.
That's probably something I need to get.
I don't see much of the barrel line anymore.
As popular as it was because it wasn't glazed over.
It was just a rubbed on finish.
It tended to chip if you weren't careful with it.
This particular speckling is Marcia, California.
They were doing it based on what Bauer was doing around that time in around 1960.
Bauer's are just little specks whereas the Marcia is more of a gold wash
but it's great that it has the original bail and it's $20.
Good prices on the red wing compotes here in the two toning.
Only $12.50 a piece.
These should date to about 1960.
This enamelware is rather thin and it's later than you think.
It's 1970s but it's great colors and it was made in Yugoslavia
which of course is no longer a country.
So there are collectors now.
$50 for those three pieces.
Yosemite over here has the full blend-o set
and they are only asking $29 with the four glasses.
I wonder how much they have on the little pitcher.
Interesting it's all the same color.
There must have been a store around here back in the day that sold
and they're asking $24 for just the pitcher.
Oh I see the glasses are separate.
They are actually asking $29 for the pitcher.
So I'm glad I got the one I did.
$150 on this quilt.
I like the one next to it with the bow ties and the signatures from the 1940s.
They're also asking $150.
A bunch of refrigerator items.
We tend to see the haul stuff fairly often.
I haven't seen this one before though.
This was for the Norge refrigerator and that's why it has the N on it.
It's only $14.
It looks to me like another haul piece.
It has that weight.
I suspect it had a lid originally though that is missing.
Now this is a deal and I always thought this was really fun.
They're calling it a teapot.
It's really a pitcher but this is Kammark.
It's just not marked so they don't realize it.
But I've seen this shape before and I think that's a wonderful price.
They probably think it's a 1980s thing but this is what the 80s was copying.
A very good price.
$9.99.
It's a basic stretch flask.
Could be by Fenton.
It's not Imperial because it doesn't have the mark.
But they're selling it for $10 with the black stand.
And this is out of the 20s.
So I think I'm going to pick that up too.
These are also quite inexpensive.
These are Cladding McBean.
You can barely see the Made in USA mark.
That these were the same color as their 1930s El Patio lines.
They were doing rings to emulate Bauer as well.
And only $8.
Speaking of polka dots, these are out of the 1960s.
And they're in great shape and have not been dishwashed to death.
So I think I'm going to get some stuff.
Now one thing I did just to be sure and it seems fine.
I peeled the price off a little bit.
I don't usually mess with people's price tags but this has an iridescent finish
and you really should never use tape on an iridescent finish.
But I think we're fine on this one.
Well I actually need to carnet this one.
Queen Mary use flasks are only $4 each.
That's actually a great deal too.
1960s Transit Union tray by House Art.
For the Transit Union in St. Louis.
There is a collector for Union related items.
$75 on the Hazel Atlas sailboat set.
The pitcher with the six glasses.
That's a fair price.
These have deeper crinkles.
So this is Seneca's driftwood pattern.
Well they say Morgantown.
But Morgantown is round and Seneca is the one that is not.
So this is actually Seneca.
The two patterns are very similar.
The set with the bail is $46 which is a pretty fair price for that.
$15 is a good price on the John Deere.
But this trailer is plastic and that means it's newer.
I only look for the American made ones by Ertiful.
Dolls of the world were very popular in the 1960s because they were inexpensive
and they represented a lot of different cultures.
But they are not an easy sell now.
Now here is a repurposing of a bowling pin that I never thought of before.
You could paint them in all sorts of figures.
But you still see that he's Brunswick.
Cute child sled.
We don't really see this size very often.
They're asking $45.
School bus stop signs are cool because you can actually rig them up to light again.
I guess somebody got a little too close to the bus.
They're asking $69 for that.
When I was in Cub Scouting in the 70s,
these were the kits for the Pinewood Derby.
And the cars never looked quite like those real race cars on the top there.
A sweet but sad memorial to Sarah Tullis,
who passed away in 1897 and was someone's sister.
They did memorial plaques like this.
A lot of the lithography was done in Germany.
They're asking $45.
Bicentennial Dairy Queen glasses.
I have not seen this shape before.
I'm suspecting these were done by Bartlett Collins.
Let's see what they're asking for the whole set.
$50 for all nine.
This is a flea market, so you can find things like hardware in its original packs.
And, wow.
All sorts of new stuff.
In fact, I feel like I've walked into a hardware store here.
Kind of thinking if there's anything that I need.
I like the old chrome ashtray here.
Only $27.
That's actually a great price, but it's just a little bit bent.
I think somebody dropped it or knocked it over.
What?
Takes all of it off.
Needs to be cleaned up, but the dealer said she'd do $17,
and that's just too good a deal to pass up.
I think I can unbend it just enough, and
that will clean out with a little elbow grease,
and that will shine up, so that's a great deal.
This set of dishes is from the late 40s or early 50s.
The colors are very much in style at that time.
And this is Malibu Modern by Hollidayle.
Hollidayle made dinnerware for Chicken of the Sea as well.
All those fish dishes.
This one has a nice mark.
Usually these pieces are not marked,
and they're only asking $50 for the whole set.
That Gilder of California that made all the elves also made these sets
used for smoking or for a dresser, and that's cute.
$25.
50% off.
Most everything in here looks like not old enough for me,
but I do like these.
These look like they are Murano.
And, you know, they're kind of a random spatter,
but for $14 each, they're pretty tempting.
The sad stacking rings clown.
He used to make noise.
He doesn't anymore.
That's probably a good thing.
This is a Texas Instruments toy from back around 1970.
Ah, and then we have pennants.
Well, I'm headed to Kentucky, and this is a half-off booth too,
so I probably should get this one for $3.75.
Or is it?
Oh, it's a whole lot of them.
Well, can I use the rest?
Mitchell Corn Palace.
A couple of Canadian.
An older Chicago.
We learned from the felt pennant dealer in Florida that these felt ones are earlier.
This one, unfortunately, is a little chewed,
because otherwise that's a great price.
These stiffer ones are a little later in time.
Leesburg, Missouri.
That's kind of neat, and it's got great graphics.
There's a lot of caves in this part of Missouri.
That's why a lot of people come through here.
These mostly look newer.
Little Sweet 16.
Oh, that's cute.
I have not seen this liquor bottle before.
They have a Kokeshi doll on top of it,
which makes me wonder if it's an old sake bottle from the 1960s.
These are half-off as well.
This is Metlock's fruit pattern,
and it's interesting to see the coffee pot,
but also the milk pitcher with the lid.
I don't think this lid actually belongs to it.
I think that came to another piece,
because this is how the pitcher was sold.
So it just got left behind.
They're only asking $9.75 for that,
and $12.25.
You could definitely make money selling those online.
A very plain kitchen queen from the 1930s.
A lot of people by this time had cabinetry being built in.
I actually like the simplicity of this piece,
and of course they're great for display.
This is an interesting table from about 1920,
because it has this printed pattern on top of it.
They're asking $75.
I actually think that's rather unusual.
Now, how do we know that these are not great quality
compared to, say, Fenton?
Well, the first clue is we have a bunch together.
Look how big the clear bottom of that one is.
Look how flat that one is.
They're just not evenly made.
These are, again, likely to be double import from the 1980s
to look like something older.
Take a look at the cranberry glass basket.
This is Fenton.
$40 is a fair price for it.
This is interesting because it could be poured by a left-hander.
Pilgrim Glass did that sort of thing in glass as well for left-handers.
They're only asking $8.
These folks have a lot of jars and bottles in this space,
including a lot of regional brands
that you probably haven't heard of where you are.
And those can be really fun to collect.
I have a friend who's a collector in Washington state,
and he would like some of this stuff
because they're not things he's seen before.
They have prices in the $7 to $15 range on most of those.
Then they have some older embossed ones here.
This is from 1923.
Coca-Cola Bottling Company, it says, of Poplar Bluff.
But this wasn't a Coca-Cola brand with the stars.
I'm not sure which one that was, actually.
We're getting to the heart of the country
where crockery is really very widely collected.
This is upside down because it would have had a bottom.
This would have sat in,
but that is a buttermilk feeder and poultry fountain,
so it would go in a base and then you would feed them out of that.
That's $50.
Wool Pottery in Huntingburg, Indiana made this piece and the churn.
The churn is only $50 because it has a crack.
That's unfortunate.
That is a good piece.
Cracks bother me because with heat or cold that can grow
and that could just fall apart.
This is an old Whitehall pottery.
We don't see the Whitehall as often,
and it's got a corncob stopper, which is pretty cool.
And they've actually put a little information for us.
This one says the circle marked dates to about 1910.
A Ruckels piece.
Yeah, Ruckels was the big pottery in Whitehall, Illinois.
There were several that were there.
And they're asking $75 for that,
which is a fair price because it is a little more unusual to see.
And then the Wool piece.
They are asking $50.
All of those are very fair prices, really.
All right, we finally found a sign that is for sale.
Is this old?
No, it is not.
Here's another grease stick cooler in wood
from a slightly earlier time than the last one.
$40 on the Shawnee Clown Kiki Jar with the seal lid.
That one is very cute.
I'm sorry, but if you can't like that clown,
he is sweet and having fun.
That's from about 1940.
25% off this booth,
and they have some of these flower power pins I like.
So 25% off, $7 makes that pretty reasonable.
That's going to bring it down to under $5.
This one is $7.50.
That one's cute.
I've got this one already.
These beads are pretty.
They have a little bit of the silver overlay on them.
And how much was that?
Oh, only $10 to start.
Well, let's take these out and look.
These might come with us.
Do they have age is the next question.
And I think they do.
Looking at the faceting, they're hand knotted.
They're good quality.
It's a very long strand when you release it.
So, yes, I'm going to take a chance on those.
Pastel stones in the earrings are cute,
but they're round,
and round is not an easy shape to sell for me.
These are shoe buckles in aurora stones.
Depression glass salt and pepper shakers
are something that are relatively collectible
because even people who don't collect the patterns
who are salt and pepper shaker collectors will like them.
These are floral or poinsettia from the 1930s.
And they are asking $15,
which is a pretty good price for these.
Some of these sets can sell in the $25 and $30 range.
Two-tone Smyrna typewriter with ribbons.
It says do not plate with this.
$45.
That's not a bad deal for this one.
These are such a deal if you can use one.
The secretary desk with the glass cabinet on top.
They were very popular as a furniture form in the 1930s,
40s, 50s era.
I used to sell them for $500.
This one is $145.
Some cute prints and a little bit of original art.
I like this one.
The boy giving the girl candy.
The frame is 1950s.
The print is probably 50 years older than that,
and they're asking $45.
It's priced at retail,
but wow, what a fun Christmas booth.
If you were a collector,
their prices are fair for what they've got,
and boy, do they have a lot of it.
Really fun.
Now, look for the thing that doesn't belong.
They like the holidays,
so I suspect that the Halloween isn't going to be super cheap,
but let's see what these spaghetti pieces are.
$17.
Not a terrible price.
I like the trick-or-treat lamp here,
but they're asking $60.
It might be worth that.
Halloween stuff's pretty expensive,
but what I'm looking at that doesn't match is the light.
They're only asking $45.
I could definitely double my money on that.
Writing Big Bird.
That's fun.
That looks like something from the 70s or early 80s,
and they're asking $60.
Some more glow molds over here.
$30 on the candle,
$42 on Santa.
Look at these fun Siamese cats.
The band by Inesco.
They're asking $95,
but it's worth about $95,
so I get it.
And then they have some Neil the Frog.
The hanging planter is a great piece you never see for $46,
and this planter was not potted in,
and they're asking $75.
Fennel is the company that made the hearts,
and this one is $85.
You know, they know what they've got,
but what they have is really cute.
Bartlett Collins Bicentennial goblets are only $750 a piece.
The Chef and Mammy menu holders,
or notepad holders,
they're asking $75 for the Mammy,
because she's metal,
but only $20 for the Chef.
That's a pretty good price in the chalkware there.
What's her name?
Awe.
Somebody who was feeling forgotten at work
probably got that as a gift in the 70s.
I believe this is by Federal Glass,
even though it doesn't have the F logo.
And they are asking $24.
And then a space with a whole lot of
chink tackle and related items.
So you can get just about anything in these flea markets,
including something nice for your dog,
or some fun things to watch.
Red Wing Monk Turkey Jar.
They have the top taped,
and I understand why there's lots of edges to chip on these,
so you have to inspect them carefully,
and this one must be in really great shape.
$30, which is actually really a very good price for that.
Nice humidor here, made in England.
1930s, with the little shield and the liner to keep it fresh.
And they're only asking $25 for that.
Well, four flea markets later, I have a very full van,
and it's on my way to Kentucky,
because I don't think I could fit another thing in here.
And there's a time to buy and time to sell,
but if it's your time to buy,
well, four flea markets in one place
is a pretty good place to start.
