Inside The Old Mill Antique Mall In Columbia, SC!

Donnie. Yeah. What are you doing? Man, I'm antiquing it again. See if I can find something. I'm still looking for a few things. We are at a really cool place. This is the Old Mill Antique Mall in Columbia, South Carolina. And it's an old building that's two stories. And there is stuff just packed in here everywhere. We'll show you the, we'll go upstairs and show you up there. Like basically when you're downstairs walking around, you can hear people walking above you, creaking on the floorboards and stuff. Tricky is I don't know where upstairs is yeah we haven't got to it yet but there's a lot of stuff that obviously has been here a long time just sitting around but there's stuff everywhere it's very densely packed in here which is kind of what you want if you're going to an antique store so we're going to walk around a little bit now Donnie is looking for uh Pyrex the he likes the snowflake garland pattern and i we got to tell you we're getting near the end of that he's almost got everything yeah i'm down to about 10 pieces that I know of. He's got some other stuff, refrigerator sets and stuff that he's buying too, but that's what he's looking for. I'm looking for clocks, old radios, old vans, and old television sets. I've been trying to get some classic vintage CRT stuff, like old ones, not the 80s ones, more like the 50s ones. We'll see. I've got a question for you, Rob. Yeah. Why aren't there any front doors in these ones? Yeah, it's kind of weird. It's just a weird, I don't know what this building was. It says old mill. I guess it was a mill, but they may just be saying that, you know, because it sounds cool. But yeah, this kind of looks like at one point it was its own business and maybe the door was right there, you know, because the way it's set up, this room, you know. I'm assuming that's sprinklers, but that must be radiators for upstairs. Yeah, and maybe that little room over there was the bathroom at one time or something, and this was its own building. That might be the entrance, believe it or not. Yeah, it could have been the entrance originally. We'll show you around the corner here. This is just like the very front, and you can't get in this way. You have to go all through the building to get in here. And we keep seeing stuff that we didn't see the first time we walked through. We haven't walked through the whole thing yet. We just walked back to this place. Show them this, Donnie. Pick that up and do not break it, please. Look at this. 1950s retro clown ceiling light. $98. You can see the little thing, right? And it's huge. You can see how big it is. Look how cool that would be, like, in a kid's room or something. I have never seen that. That's the only one I've ever seen. So there's just a bunch of stuff like that in here. And, you know, a lot of really... Vintage old stuff, so we'll see what we can find. You can see the scope of this place. This is just one room. It's kind of a crazy... Those are sprinklers, up there at least. Just a crazy layout. A lot of the stuff's got permanent markdowns on it, basically. What you got there, Donnie? That's the lid, I mean. Uh-huh. That's all it is. Yep. How much is it? That's the wrong color, though. It's kind of $2. Oh, that's just the lid? No. With the whole thing? Yeah, we're down to, like, he's got specific stuff that he's trying to purchase. It's only seven and a half, right? You're not at that point yet where you're buying stuff just so you can get the piece you need and then sell the part of it that you didn't need on its own? Not yet. Okay, that's cool. So everything's 25% off, Donnie. 25% off? Yeah. 25% off? I love this. 25% off everything that's not already reduced. This one won't sit too long. Yep, that's wild. This same lid fits both of them. I've got three of them. I need lids. So yeah, there is an upstairs to this place, but this part here doesn't have an upstairs. It's just a big part of the building. It's acting like it was some kind of mill. I don't know. One of the cool things about these places is the old glass showcases. Look at that. That's like an old one there, buddy. Look at this excellent thing. Man, man. I'm down here fighting people over this stuff. Holy crap. Holy crap. That's his pattern. That's not the right stuff though, Donnie. That's the... Yeah, it's the same stuff. Pyrex. That's the newer stuff. It's the newer stuff, but I got it. So how much? That's what we eat off of. How much are they? You eat off of them now? $3.29 a piece. Uh-huh. Well, that's cool. All right. Got me a six pack. Which size? Six and a half? You didn't have, you said you already had some of them? I don't have this size. Oh, okay. This diameter. I got the bigger ones. There we go. Well, it's worth the trip then. Yep. All right, let's see what else we can find. I'll take a six pack. uh-huh see how excited he gets people he's very happy now you wouldn't think Donnie would be all into Pyrex but he really is they've got the plates and all down there too one of my favorite showcases I've seen in one it's like an old meat market case look at that very cool All right, Donnie, so this is what you found. I've got those. I've got those. Got the big plates, got the medium ones. But I don't have any of these. Yeah, it's kind of interesting for a cup, because usually they put a cup on a saucer. But these ain't for the cups. Yeah. I've got the cup. I've got those with the saucer, with the cup indention like that. Uh-huh. In this pattern, too. But I don't have these. All right. We'll get those. Look, they got more all over the place. All this stuff's 20% off, too, so it's a pretty decent little deal. Yep. We're like, yeah, just dump it on the counter. There's lots of cool stuff down here all over the place. Are those the old, I guess those are just lithographs. Yeah, lithographs. We're getting closer to the upstairs. We found the upstairs. Thank you. This is what I'm talking about, about it being densely packed. So there's areas in here that you can barely get into. and uh it's just there's stuff everywhere and and look the air conditioning is down here but the balcony is up there it's really cool i just like the way it's set up He did. yep yet another really cool showcase with the trim and everything on it very cool speedway old arcade game uh glass it's gonna be a like a well i guess it was some kind of driving game Chicago Coin Speedway 38 most of the paint's gone though off the top Now the bottom wouldn't have had paint that would have been the area that you look through to play whatever you do to play that game. It's one of the things though like if you needed that that'd definitely be worth it because they probably don't have anything uh yeah you probably can't get a reproduction of that. So we're still downstairs pretty uh Pretty nice place, really. What do you think, Donnie? Give your honest opinion about how they've got it set up and stuff. It's probably seven out of a ten. Yeah, it's better than a lot of the really big ones that have the big wide aisles and stuff just because there's so much stuff piled in here. And upstairs awaits. That's great. I like it. Another kind of interesting showcase. It's made of this black plasticized metal or something, or painted metal. I haven't seen one quite like that either. 20% off everything in the booth. Look what Donnie found me. So I like these old tube radios. This may not be a tube one. I think it is. Looks like a tube one, but it's going to be, if it's, well, we'll check here in a second. That's pretty cool. So, um... It's an old, I think it's a tube radio with Disneyland Peter Pan on it. And it's got everybody on it, really. You've got Alice in Wonderland and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Let's see if this thing is a tube. Do you see any tubes in there, Donnie? It may, I don't know. I'm going to get it one way or the other. That's pretty cool. Okay, this same booth has this down in the bottom. That's pretty cool. I'm not going to get it, but it's a United self-starting clock. I just like the ones that are weird like this, that have just an interesting look. And so it's got a kid with a, I guess that's a deer, I guess. Pretty interesting. Look at the steps. They're pretty steep. They're nice and sturdy, though. So they've got fans all through the building and this one is an old GE and it's wobbling a little bit but that's an old one that's probably at least 80 years old and it's still rocking and rolling people and it's quiet you can't even hear it these other ones you can hear you can't even hear that one it's pretty amazing that's about a 15 inch fan the the blade and uh I guess just running every day a couple of cobwebs all over it just sitting there purr and that's how they used to make things. Okay, so this is the upstairs area above that one little room we were in at first. You have to come up even higher to get in the head. And look how it's finished straight out of, what, the 50s? And it's still set up kind of the same. Let's see if Donnie's found it. What do you think, Donnie? Is our decor here we're looking at straight out of the 50s? It's over. They linked it. Popcorn ceiling. Look out here how they've got the... It's just interesting. Look, they've got an old freaking patio door, basically, on it, too. I wonder if this is where the... the guy that the boss was this the boss's office oh wow yeah well that's a little later than the 50s that's probably late 60s early 70s wow what a interesting place This one's got a lot of character, you know. If you don't know, Donnie and I like old buildings, too. We actually own a few very inexpensive, not expensive, but we own some small buildings in Jefferson that we've fixed up a little bit and rented out to people, but so we always like seeing things that are, you know, just what they were used for, and they're still being used for something. They got good bones, Donnie. Yeah, this is directly over that room we were in at the very Very beginning of the video. Yeah, yeah, and the warehouse in the back might have been something completely different. It's just happened to be connected to it, or it could be that the maybe they've made a product and they sold it out of the storefront or, you know, I don't know. We'll do some research to see if we can figure out what it used to be, but what an interesting place. Is there anything over there that they need to see? so this i guess would be so there's the kitchen i guess this would be like a dining room i guess that out there was like a foyer here's a closet so this maybe was a bedroom it's an upstairs really there's more that's the attic the attic you know these big these old buildings had all kinds of uh had all kinds of uh this maybe was a bedroom i guess this is This is close to about a three-quarter bathroom. There would have been, maybe. put it there yeah maybe if it was right there maybe i don't know it's interesting very interesting and they got all the prom gowns and they got one that's going into the warehouse the formal gown yeah look out the window that's what we gotta do if i don't fall through hey billy get them guys back on the assembly line billy so here's up on top of the uh balcony they have this neat little I don't know what you can call it at the top. I've seen this setup before. There's windows there and on this side there's fans. There's an overhang on that side that hangs over about six feet or something so that water can't get in there and those fans just run all year I guess back when it was a mill. Just a really interesting build. So they have these right at the door when you come in. Deluxe cleaners. All right folks there's a lot of traffic but this is what the front looks like. You can decide if it's that same. cleaners that's in the pictures. It kind of looks like it is. But we wanted to show you this on the side. That's that door that's in the kitchen upstairs that we were in. And then if you look over here, they have a spiral staircase or whatever. Is that what you call that? Spiral staircase. Spiral staircase. wrought iron spiral staircase there to get out of there. So at some point they remodeled, I guess, the top to kind of give it that apartment up there. So what do you think, Donnie? I like it. If you like it, give us a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you hadn't already, and we'll catch you on the next one. All right, folks, and go visit the Old Mill Antique Mall.
