This One's a Keeper! ❤️ Shopping Vintage Deals in 1810s Utopia

I am in New Harmony, Indiana. New Harmony is an antique destination. It's an antique town, one of the first utopias formed in the United States, and a wonderful place that has an antique show the second weekend of June. And here we are. Outdoor dealers are starting to get opened up here. We see some furniture coming out, a pretty cool store rack, galvanized, some architectural stuff, signs, and then under the tent here we're starting to see the smalls. And we've got people setting up and other people coming to look because these people always have good deals. Well, it's Sunday morning and we are just getting ready to open inside for the New Harmony show. I'm going to show a few of the booths outside while I have a moment. Out on the street you could find just about anything. That's a very cute embroidery piece. Look how the edge is her dress. That's really neat. And a very fun 70s fabric underneath there. The scooter looks like it would be fun to pedal down the street. And you could use it here once you get a handful. Or maybe you need this old grocery cart for $30. That's a neat one out of the 1950s with that blue plastic handle. Just getting set up again for the day here. We were afraid of rain, but actually it's been surprisingly nice, which has been great. And here's a nice pair of Fostoria candlesticks. Only $19. Really Griswold mailbox. That's a good price at $60. And there's various varieties of this. This one says post box on it. You can still use this for your mail if you are in a place where they bring the mail to the door still. Pretty old. Yeah, that's a very pretty sampler. I love the detail and the color is really good. So you got some stuff like that one. Oh, that's very pretty. Yes, sterling and turquoise. And it's got a lot of matrix in it. Yeah, oh, that's very nice. Yes, I like the design. Put in behind it, which probably hides all the jewelry mark. You know what, though a lot of times they mark on the back of the planchette where the turquoise is. I guess is that it's old and probably was never signed to tell you the truth, but you actually are a textile artist and make your own pieces. Oh, that's exciting. Yeah. And you know, this kind of thing, I just collected them for years because it's inspiration, inspiration and it's, uh, it keeps me humble when I'm complaining about how hard something is. I just look at something and you think, oh, well, someone spent every day for months and months and months. And right, exactly. These are really cool, though. They're really fun. I had noticed these. Yeah. And there's a couple of small tapestries here that I take. I'm just going to show you this because this is Laura, who I'm talking to, and she actually has a studio here in town and creates a lot of textiles herself. So she appreciates the old and is doing some wonderful new art textiles. These folks have a whole bunch of paper ephemera things out of in the state. I see baked white bangles. Oh, the Oster fondue pot. And that was an electric one. So you didn't have to have the burner. The safe version of jarts, which are not called jarts, closing out pink depression glass. It's funny. They're closing it out right when I am starting to pick it up again. The Firehouse Antiques is an amazing building and they have really cool stuff. They'll be more coming out in a little bit, three or before the opening. So that's why you're not seeing people, you're just seeing stuff. But the dealers are starting to get prepared. There were a couple of weddings in town last night, so we're expecting that there might be interest in something like this. Farm Drunk sells because it's fun to decorate with and Farm Drunk can be just about anything you find in an old barn. Only ten dollars for this galvanized piece. It's a little rusted at the bottom, but you can certainly use that for feed or water or just for decoration. I bought some things off this table the last time I was here. Now this is a pretty set. We're going to take a look at it to see what the age is. There's the RS pressure mark, but those were fakes, so you have to be a little bit careful. Let's take a look and see if it has the period after the pressure. It does. So it appears to be legitimate. It's a chocolate set. Chocolate sets have the spout up high. A coffee pot generally has a long spout low, and a teapot is more squat. So that's how you tell the difference. $1.10 for the set. If you're an airplane fan, wow, this is really a neat lamp from about 1980 with nostalgic old World War I era airplanes on it. I haven't seen this piece before. This is a neat looking counter display here. You would open up and reach in to get your things. It's in pretty reasonable original condition. Nice water cooler here, and it's got the metal spigot so you know it's got some age. It's the crown mark, which I think is monolith, and it is priced at $85, which is a pretty decent price for those. We're getting into summer here. It's definitely more demand at this point. Cigarette Girl. A lot of pinups were used for these punch cards. If you won, you got cigarettes instead of money, and it cost a whole penny to try. This fella's got some great toys. These are by the Model Company, the Model Fire Engine here, and it's got the ladders and everything, and the siren, things that often broke off. It's priced at $2.25. And then this is also Model Toys. Model Toys was at a Cincinnati. Nice old steamer trunk for $100, and when they're flat top like that, that's a pretty fair price because people can use these as furniture as well as storage. I have one for sale, and I've got about the same price on it. And then you see this great cast iron cowboy skillet with the handsmith's handle. Only $25. That's a pretty neat piece for decorative. This old grease can is from the Illinois Central Railroad Company, and it's got the little hand grip under there so that you could steady it as you poured it in so you didn't slop it all over everything. Iron Turbots, $10 a piece. They've got some fun different ones. I actually have this one for sale myself. They're interesting when they have names on them. This one is a particularly old one. Best on Earth. Best on Earth. Well, that pretty much means you don't need to bother with any other ones, right? But they come in all sorts of different interesting shapes. And then, my goodness, pinups. Yes, 1940s and 50s. Blotters and notebooks. These were given out by all sorts of companies all over the United States and really all through North America. They're very cute. They're fun to collect. There were various artists who were fairly famous doing these drawings. This one here is an Elvgren for Pioneer Salt Company. She looks like she can shake that salt. This just makes me smile. Some of the cold paint has worn off of the surface, but the ostrich is really something else. This is Brush Pottery, descendant of the Brush McCoy Pottery. And this is probably from the 1940s or 50s, looking at the way it's made. $15 is a great price. You have to just accept the fact they're hard enough to find, that the paint isn't perfect, but there's something really rustic and cute about it that way. Colored aluminum beverage sets seem to be pricey these days, but the cake covers are surprisingly not. And $22 seems like a good deal for that piece. Just getting uncovered here, we're getting close to the start of the show. Golf carts are the preferred transportation around here, as you can see. Zeta went on ahead to the Institute of Higher Learning. This was the new Harmony Workingmen's Institute. When Robert Owen was trying to create a utopia here for workers, part of the idea was self-education. And you can still get an education here, because this is one of the first libraries in the country, and they are having a book sale over the weekend here. Cannon not included. Ah, the bell is tolling, telling us it is time to go in and start. The martini glasses were done for one of the cruise ship lines, but they're actually done by Costa Boda, which a lot of people don't realize. They're priced at $18 for the four, which is a good deal. They usually sell for about $12 each minimum. My friend with the beautiful jewelry is here again. I like this. You see lots of celluloid. You do not see it with rhinestones very often, so that's a little bit more unusual. Celluloid was another one of these plastic fantastic alternatives. In the 1940s, in the Second World War, lots of materials came to be used in jewelry, because rhinestones were not really available. And they've got 43 on this, which with the rhinestones is a good price. And the Canadian goose pin for $65 is a wonderful combination of lucite and bakelite. You don't usually see those two materials together, so this should be from around the late 40s, that transition period between the materials. Here's some neat pieces. The left is Navajo, the right is Hopi. We don't see a ton of Hopi designs in jewelry, so that's fun and different. And with all the interest in Southwest jewelry right now, it's a neat look that's a little more unusual. Very pretty Victorian era watch, Bob. She has all sorts of really neat jewelry this time, actually every time. She has Juliana question mark on this, and I'm not sure whether that one is or not, but it certainly has the look and the color and is of the same era and the same quality, priced at $75. And she does indeed get costume jewelry as well as fine. Really pretty silk curse with the scene, and what's especially nice is the enameling and the jeweling around. That is reminiscent of a lot of the Czech jewelry boxes from the 19-teens and 20s, and I suspect that it shares the same heritage. Oh, it's a different cruel scene on the back. And the jewels, yes. Yeah, that's very sweet. It really is, and I hadn't seen the back side, and look at the detail. They're out in the evening. Scandalous! This one just has a fun look. I think I want to see that out of the case. I love the inverted stones, and that color is just great. She really does get nice things. They're worn and a bit fragile, but look at these darling tiny, tiny little shoes with the nails in the bottom. These are going to be back to the 19-teens. Box full of dolls. There's china heads. If your family was a little wealthier, they would buy this kind of a china head where the teeth show and the eyes are there. This probably is German. The French fashion dolls are the really expensive ones of that time. And then this is very cute. A composition head, and I like the felt on the dress. She's just got a very sweet face. This booth always has some of the finer things in the show. They have been professional dealers for a long time. They also do appraisals, but they're doing the show, so I do the appraisals here. This is a wonderful humidor with the enamel painting of the Three Gentlemen. Priced at $350. That's going to be from the late 1800s, and the beveling makes me believe that this is probably a Mosier piece. This is really nice. LCT mark for Tiffany, and it's a really nice stretch with almost an onion skin surface to it. Priced at $375. The Cranberry piece here, this very nice dresser jar, is priced at $150. More Mosier pieces here. The cylinder vase, again look for the beveling. Beveled, beveled, and beveled on the inside is an indication of a Mosier piece. Beautiful pieces though. The Victorian era and Cranberry glass, you had to use real gold in it to get that color. This is a Mosier mug here. So it was valuable and exceptional then, and it certainly was. And then these are interesting pieces from Sweden. You have the three crowns here, and this is Gustavsberg ceramics, and this is very popular with the mid-century modernists. Look at that great, steady design, and then an interesting different pattern on the inside. You know, the fact that they took panes to decorate both the outside and the inside gives you an indication of why Gustavsberg is considered a better quality ceramic. Here's a stretched glass bowl by an American company. Very pretty, nice iridescence for only $20. These are amazing. These are Victorian wax figures from King Lear, and look at the faces. Wax flowers, wax figures were very popular in the late Victorian era. They took a lot of panes to keep these out of sunlight or heat so that they wouldn't be destroyed, but a lot of them ended up being destroyed anyway, so they're hard to find. $1.75 on that set. Billy Whiskers. This was a book that was reprinted when I was a child, and it was a great book actually. And this is the original by Francis Trego Montgomery, priced at $25. It was very popular. As it says, there were over 1.25 million copies sold. That's why it's not more valuable, because there actually are a lot of these around still. This is a very cute little Victorian obelisk thermometer, and it's hand enameled with the figures on the side. You know, at that time, they put so much detail even to the most basic rudimentary things, and that's what makes them so fun to collect and see now. Very pretty piece of stained glass. I like the way that they're able to display it so you can get the light through it. Sometimes it shows it's hard to do that, and this works really well. This is a car you don't see very often. The Wonder Car, made by Irwin Toys in the 1950s. Classic fantastic. This is a 1953 Ford, and it's a friction drive that turns around and has the magic wand so you could actually direct it. That's a really neat piece. He didn't have a name at first, but he became known as Michigan J. Frog because of a 1955 Looney Tunes cartoon that almost everybody who is old enough to have watched Looney Tunes remembers today. He eventually became the spokes frog for the WB network when it came out, and this has its certificate of authenticity because this was done by Stief at about that time. Priced at $165 now. The Royal Beiruth set is very nice here with the shells. It has the mustard pot. It has the toothpick holder, the creamer, and sugar, and this little jam pot here. In wonderful condition. These are from about 1910 to 1920 with the lester, and it's priced at $225 for the set. This dealer has wonderful things. Everything from the pilgrim glass vase in the center there, to this nice rose hill tourmaline. That's a wonderful glaze. I'm seeing a lot of interest in pottery and ceramics. It seems like it's starting to really take off. The flamingo tray is $35. Of course you know I like that very much. Who's got the button? Well, this dealer does. The anthropomorphics are so much fun. This one is the napko jam. $39.95 seems like a pretty good price on that. There is so much interest in these right now. $75 for ketchup. Ketchup's a little harder to find. And it says with spoon on lid, so I'm imagining the spoon is connected to the lid like the whole Howard and the PY are. Oh, and I see this is ketchup and mustard for one price. So actually, no, that's a pretty good price too. I like the little cast iron tank. It seems a little different than everything else in the space, and you know my theory about that. This is an original one. It does have a little bit of a gap in it. Usually I'm suspicious of things with the gap, but when I look at the way this is made, everything else about it does seem to be right. And that gap may have to do with actually the aging or being played with because it is tight on the other side. This is really neat. I'll leave in her ribbon because it does play, she says, and we don't need to necessarily test that. We'll take her word for it. It is a German accordion, and it's child size, and it dates to about 1900. Very cute piece. Veneer books were very popular starting around the teens, and that is when the Panama Canal was finished. This is a 1939 edition, but this would have come out earlier looking at the type and everything. And they show everything from the Bay of Panama to the cut when they were building it. Some of the folks who lived in Panama at the time. The Canal Administration Building. Wow, they spent lots of money on that, didn't they? Very interesting vision of how this amazing engineering feat came to be. It took decades for them to do it. The French tried and failed because of malaria. The Nicaraguans tried to get it built through Nicaragua, and eventually it ended up being Panama. Gilbert Puzzle Parties. What's neat about this is having the box because we see these rings, and they sit around, and people don't know what they're for, and it just looks like a bunch of metal mess. But it actually is a bunch of interesting puzzles that you could play, and it had a lot to do with dexterity. Gilbert toys tended to be things like erector sets and things that would make children learn how to do things rather than just playing, which is kind of a neat idea and great graphics. Those of you who are pickers, don't overlook jackets from the 1970s. These big sort of stitched affairs that had foamy feel to them and often advertise companies that don't exist in the same form anymore, like International Harvester. Also, old shirts related to occupations, to bowling leagues. Tennessee jerseys must have been a company that made some of this stuff. There are definitely collectors for these, and you see prices as high as 40 and 45 dollars on a lot of these. Ant collected reg beaters for a long time. You would hang your regs up and whack them with this to get the dirt out because vacuum cleaners, well, they didn't exist. Some cool mid-century pottery. She had quite a bit more, but a lot of it is sold and gone. This piece in the middle I always like the treatment on. This is a Shawnee piece. You can't really read that mark very well in there because this is a sort of speckled glaze that camouflages it, but that's who did that one in the late 50s. These are the folks who put on the show. If you are interested in doing the show in the future, well, these are the people to contact, and they've been doing it for 22 years. They used to have the Firehouse Antiques across the street, but they sold that recently, but they still have some of the old Firehouse stuff left, and the people who bought Firehouse Antiques are great, and they are involved with the town and its promotions and things as well. They have some really great advertising pieces. Working order is very important on these electric clocks because the motors are not particularly great, and if they don't work, they're very hard to fix. This is a series that I have as well. I don't have as many as these. These were done by Ralston Purina, but they quoted everybody from Albert Hubbard on up in terms of philosophy, and it all is very, very strong philosophy from their educational service division. Keep your promises. Eat high score better. It tastes good. Well, okay, that one's a little more of an advertising pitch. He who can thinks he can. Great way of looking at life. Because experience is a hard teacher, she gives the test person the lesson afterwards, but that's okay too. That is how we learn. Guide service. That's a pretty neat old sign. This is really cool here. The Kyle Keys. This would have hung outside a hardware store in a small town or any other place that had a key making device. It's priced at $3.75. They're hard to find now. And this is a license plate topper. You would screw these into the top of your license plate, and they would advertise anything from what you did to where you'd been. There's a lot of reproductions of these. This clearly is not, because you can tell the age. This handsome store display counter with the wainscot is sold. A lot of big furniture sold here, which is interesting because furniture has been, for me, a pokier part of the market lately, but we watched three or four good pieces go out of this show yesterday, so maybe it's turning around. Ice cold watermelons and beer. Well, summer is coming, so we might need a little of either of those. There was more jadeite here 20 minutes ago, and it appears that some of it is sold, and this is only priced at $30. This is the batter bowl. I typically get about $50 for this piece, so it does have one little white spot. The jadeite sometimes will start to wear that way, or it could have been a factory imperfection because I don't think this was used all that much. Swamp Root. That is the kidney, liver, and bladder here, and you certainly probably needed all of those things, maybe from taking swamp root. Who knows? This is from about 1900. Look at the old wallpaper somebody used inside of it to make it a carry box. That's cute. It's priced at $75. Primitives do very well here. I have some awesome chocolate molds here, too. Look at the bunnies and the big face. You don't really see the big face very often. And then a Santa Claus mold here as well. They have them for pretty much every holiday, and of course the more obscure holidays are more obscure and harder to find. Halloween stuff of course goes very well, and you occasionally see turkeys for Thanksgiving. If you like primitives, if you like farmhouse, here's real farmhouse. Crockery. This is a great old crock. The Buckeye Pottery Company is one you don't see as often. Mackam, Illinois. That's going to be from probably about 1940. The number of course refers to the number of gallons, so it's an eight gallon, and it's heavy to lift even without being full. Cute little pig freemer. I believe this one is, if I remember right, Stanford Pottery. It's not Shawnee, even though it has that look. It's a little different than the Shawnee pig. The old store display is cool. Another good crock here. I did not know anything about the Whitehall Companies. Whitehall was a town in Illinois, and there were several pottery companies that made all sorts of things there in the early to mid-1900s. I only found out about them because I bought a vase here at the Citywide Barrage Sale several years ago that was made in Whitehall, so that was my introduction. Not being from this part of the country, I've had lots of fun new things to learn. Quilts, of course, very popular in this part of the country as well. These are nice 1930s era. You can tell by the fabric. If you're enjoying this as much as I am, well please click that button to subscribe because then you can click the bell to be notified of our future videos. We do also appreciate the folks who are able to help with memberships because it does fund some of this crazy amount of travel and effort that we put into this, but we love doing it. If you're interested in membership information and the perks that it brings, there are three different levels of membership and you can look under the dashed line in the description of any video to find out all about it. Just remember yesterday antiques, and it's just so much fun to see the way that people put these things together because a lot of people have displays like this at home, and a lot of this stuff is very useful and functional, which is the point. I mean, if you have an old wisp room, you might take it down and use it once in a while, and cutting boards, and so primitives are not just fun because they look cool. They're useful potentially. You can actually use old tins as containers. You can actually use old mortars and pestles and things like that. So fun to collect, but not just something that you look at. It actually can be part of your everyday life. They have the set of four jadeite bowls for $2.45, and that's in the swirl pattern. The small one is the hard one to find. Not everybody got the smallest one in the set. And then they've got some nice McCoy planters here too. The butter churn is a neat piece. Just a good looking space. Around here they will call this a possum belly cabinet. Out west we just call them a belly cabinet because we don't have so many possums. Not that we don't have any, but not like they do in this part of the country. It's on sale for $3.50, which is really a wonderful price. And again, if you need extra kitchen space, and you don't want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars remodeling, well, you get extra counter space, you get extra storage space, and you can move it with you. A lot of people these days are wanting things that are things they can take with them. Younger collectors and people setting up first homes especially realize they may not be there forever. So something like this is nice because instead of paying to renovate an entire kitchen for tens of thousands of dollars, you can buy kitchen queens and possum belly cabinets and things, and you will have all the space you need. And it's flexible. Heinz lunches. This is a great Heinz soup display. Now typically they would have two of the bowls here, but these would have been used in cafes in the 1950s. It's fun that some of the formal looking things like red transferware mix really well with primitives. They have five for $47. That's less than $9 each, and this is a nice old pattern. You can tell by the mark here. This is Ron Sioux. This is English and actually should date before 1891 because it does not have a country of origin mark on it. This one is $19. The prices on transferware here are really good. This is Woods Burslem. Now this one says England, so this is 20th century. And then this has a wonderful scene on it. This is part of, I believe, the Historic America series. Yes. Broadway in New York. Barnum's Museum, and that's by Johnson Brothers. These were done in the 1950s, but of course they herald a time much earlier. And the cheese boxes seem well priced too. $26 on this one. I always like the wraparound. You know, these were not intended to be here 100 years later. So the fact that any of them still exist is pretty amazing. And here is something that people do with Crocs. You don't see a ton of big ones, but when you find a big one... Yeah, they're great. 20s are heavy. They are really heavy. Can you imagine actually having it full of stuff? Yeah, sauerkraut. I know. So you've got... Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing to me, actually. I mean, I think about, you know, my great-aunt was 4'11", and she hauled one of these things around, and I don't even know how... Were these? Yeah. She managed it somehow. They were strong back then. Well, they were because they had to work out on the farm, and they had no choice. You just made it work. I know. These are from Huntingburg, and my mother was from Huntingburg. I was born there. Oh, really? Oh, okay. Yeah. Wool was a big concern there. Yeah. Absolutely. Started in Evansville, then went to Huntingburg. Right, exactly. The early Evansville pieces are really hard to find. I think the prices are good on a lot of this stuff. This toll-painted tin is very fun. It's some sort of a stencil. A lot of this was done airbrush, probably in the early 1900s, looking at that design. They have a nice pie safe here. Another belly cabinet, a shorter one. They came in various heights. The Hoosier cabinet has sold, and that's good to see. These, as long as I've been in the business, they either sell for $400, or they sell for $750. They go through phases where they're the thing everybody wants to have, and the prices double, and then they settle back down to this price, and that's been true for the last 35 years that I've been in the business. And then this has real old paint. Look at the crackling. This was clearly in a barn. It went through summers of heat and winters of cold, and the paint eventually crackled, and that makes it real. And if you're concerned about lead paint, well, obviously you have young children. You might not want to have this around, but once they learn not to chew the legs on the furniture, put a glass top on it and use it all day long. My friends here were showing me pictures of this oak cabinet before they restored it. They got it for $10. The bottom had been in a flood, and the finish was completely gone. The top was completely sprayed. The paneled sides were bubbled. Look how beautiful it is now, and there's a lot of interest in office furniture. They have a beautiful library table and a folding leg table that both sold yesterday. Furniture seems like it's starting to pick up again. Here is a nice tip. I think I'm going to take this to hold on to. This is how to wash your linens and how to soak them so that you can get those spots out, courtesy of Lighthouse Antique Mall, which is a place that I think they are involved with in Illinois near Springfield. Schweppes and Swanee Club, these old seltzer bottles, when they have good advertising. This one's from Long Island City in New York. Did I say that right? Long Island? I think I got it. $40 and $30. Those are pretty good prices on those. This caster set is neat because I believe this is Rancis Ware or something closely related to it, where you have this fan and button pattern and then it has the yellow stain to the glass. They have this set priced at only $47.50. They said it's a little as-is though, but caster sets are a great deal if you like them. There is some 50s era stuff here, and here's one of the pieces. Hello! From my perch on stage, I've been able to observe the show a little bit, and one thing I noticed is that this dealer, who has brought a lot of wonderful crystal the last few years, sold several pieces. And this is the first time I've seen a lot of the crystal sell. She sold a Waterford 4-in-1, where it has a cake stand and a separate base, and you can turn it upside down, make it a chip and dip, take them apart, and use them in other ways. But she also sold sets of crystal stemware and other things that really have not had a big audience for a while, and now we're starting to see interest again. This very pretty pattern here is the Cambridge Rose Point pattern, and look at that gorgeous edge. You see it better against the black. If you poured red wine in there, you would see it very well, and that's what's fun about etched stemware. And Rose Point, not just for the roses, but because it has this rose in the cartouche. They also did one that has a candle in the cartouche, and that's a different pattern. One of my favorite pieces of Rose Point that you don't see very often is the ice bucket. It did not come with a lid, it just has a handle, and it's such a cute shape. And you don't see a lot of this in the Depression. A lot of the glass companies were really struggling, and then prohibition was lifted, and all of a sudden ice buckets and cocktail ware saved a lot of those businesses. And yes, for you folks who love the bling, I definitely have some of that. I like this swirl with the moonstone. This is very pretty. It's a flat piece, but it's a clip, and that's the reason why you didn't necessarily want this projecting so far when you were wearing it the way these were worn. Beautiful green color here. A lot of these are 1950s era pieces. Here's something fun I haven't really paid attention to before. These are Guzzini, and they're Italian made. They're not terribly, terribly old, but I love the red swirl on them, and I like the somewhat random variation of it as well. $22 on the ruby hurricane candle seems like a good price. Hurricane candles are where you have this tall shade on a pedestal as a two-piece. I got a fun brass piece and a very pretty enameled spoon out of this place, and she basically sold it to me for weight, which was very nice. She's got bins of costume jewelry. There's a few dealers here that have a bunch of costume jewelry that you can dig through like this. Jerry's is a company that has a name that some people notice, and my goodness, I mean, price is as low as a dollar. How can you go wrong? This is a fun set here. I remember these out of the late 70s, this sort of raffia wear. We are starting to see people collect plastic sets. I just sold a plastic bar set that was signed from the early 80s for $65, so don't overlook the plastics. We have a generation that was raised with them, and they are collectible to them. This is one of the cuter Florida souvenir ashtrays that I have seen. Look at that happy sun and the state. It's, I'm sure, Japanese. It doesn't have a paper label on it anymore, and this is before, just before, Disney World. I think I might have to have that. This is nice with the openwork. It's a 20th century piece because these are transfer wear and not hand-painted. That is very nice, and I have not seen a three-tiered aluminum server from the 1930s before, but I really like this pattern. It reminds me a lot of Castoria's Trojan pattern, that design, and the way it overlaps is neat. This guy is very fun. Look at those eyes. This is Japanese. It's Takahashi. This brand was pretty well known in the late 70s and early 80s. It looks like somebody painted it. It was originally all green, apparently, but the white does bring the eyes out. Orange is a great color for lucite grapes. That set is $38. Nice little Fenton basket here with the swirl, $45. Their prices are pretty reasonable. Nice little Pilgrim miniature vase. They did a lot of miniature vases, maybe more than any other company, and in later years, when they quit using the waffle impressor for the pontils, their pontils looked a lot like this, where they're big, they're circular, and just a little rough around the edge. Not like a scar like the Blanco or Rainbow pieces, so if it doesn't have the label, you can tell it apart. Another pretty Fenton artwork piece. We're seeing so much interest in Fenton artwork. This one's priced at $90, and this is a 1999. This is, yes, a Glass Messenger exclusive. It's actually priced a little bit less than it was new. A very sweet woman holding a rose from about 1890 in a period frame. This is Evangeline from Longfellow's Poem, and this is her looking wristful after the departure of Gabriel. A lot of Victorian prints are actually based on popular literature, so if you do a little bit of study, you can figure out sometimes what the origin of the design is. And there's a pair. They're really well made, and they're very comfortable, and it's really nice to see rockers selling again. Again, a bunch of furniture forms that we haven't seen customers for a while seem to be selling at this show, so watch for that because markets turn, and when you start seeing something sell at the shows, which is a good reason to go to shows, you might get the idea that it's something you should be looking for when you're out shopping. These folks have some really cool stuff, too. I like the scale. This is European. Lorenz Wien, so this is Austrian. I see Dutch ones. They're made in similar ways. It's a pan scale, $150. This is Reconstruction South, and these folks come all the way from Alabama, and they get some neat stuff there that's a little different than you see elsewhere. There's some different chocolate molds with the roosters, $50 each. These eagles are toppers and bookends. They're definitely catching on to the interest in metal that we're seeing. Look at this very pretty bronze sculpture here with the birds. This is a cool old clock, 265. Old Kentucky Tavern made to look like an old pocket watch. This is going to be from about 1950. Again, hard to find these in working order. A nice corbel pair. Other than Jeff and Cindy, who we showed you earlier, we don't see a lot of people carrying corbels because they're hard to find. They have theirs over at their barn. Look at the old golf attendance hat from the gas station from about 1950. This is really cool. If you worked in the garage, you had this. Fill her up. Here's a neat old advertising without. It was probably a fan. You can see a broken part at the bottom where the fan stick, I imagine, the fan handle was originally. But it's a calendar from the early 1900s. For Garrett Snuff, the highest type of scientifically cured tobacco. Even the dogs want it. Well, the folks from Alabama bought several bins of lemons and they've been popular. I watched people go through and buy a bunch. They've got the Drain-A-Tub. This one's actually got everything that went with it in the original stickers, so it's a really good looking piece. A lot of people are using these for things other than washing, like ice buckets at parties because it's got the drain hose. Here's a different version of Sane and then a horse trough. This is an old bread bowl, a very large one too. You see the wormwood. It's a dough bowl. It's priced at $150. That's a good price for one that actually is old and that size. In fact, that's actually a good price for that. And then I wanted to show these. These are Uhl chairs. These were designed by Clement Uhl and made in Toledo, Ohio. And they are very popular because they have this interesting shape. They have this pierce work on the bottom. They have $250 for the pair. In perfect condition, I see these often priced as high as $300 apiece. So Zeno and his mom are behind me and we are going into the most futuristic business, not only in New Harmony, but maybe the most futuristic ice cream store in the universe. This is called Fire and Ice, and I just think the atmosphere is so amazing. Yes, they have Artaid, but wow, look at this place. It just throbs in neon colors, and look at the ceiling. It is cotton candy goodness all over the place. It's really fun, and yes, they have locally made ice cream that's very, very good. I can attest to that. It's the whole atmosphere. This is the gift shop back here. Everything in the gift shop is also futuristic and crazy looking and has all the color you could imagine. This would be a very, very fun place as a kid. I would have loved this. Yes, you can play all sorts of the old favorites. And then you go back out to this world. So one little place with futuristic modernism in this otherwise very antique town. These are me. These are wool carters, and it's interesting that they took time in this case to do some decoration on it. And this one has this detail, which is unusual. This one's for wool and plaques on the right, and the one on the left, I'm not actually sure. I know it's a wool carter. I'm not sure what the difference is, but we have a viewer who will, I hope, tell me in the comments. Hummels still sell if they are particular ones, and the scarcer pieces are things like these, these lamps. This has the full bee mark. So these are from the early 1950s when the GIs started sending them back to America, and they became a big collector item, and they are priced at $300 for the pair, which is really not bad because the lamps are harder to find, and they even have cute shades. These are really cool. These are what you do with spoke hubs, and I wanted to show you some that have been rigged up as lights because light comes out from the inside, and it's a really interesting look. It's fun in a primitive or western environment. So that's why people buy these old hubs when you see them out at barn sales and such. Josie from Archie. This is the beginning of the Josie story. Well, we're getting near the end of the show, but I wanted to show you the side room because there's always fun things here too. More pretty jewelry. A little Shriner's pin there up at the top. Look how cute the children in these old tin types are. Hello there. How are you this year? Hey, how are you doing? Nice to see you. Oh, I see. H. Yosie, yeah. Yosie. Yosie, yeah. Because we had a Lester store for eight years. Oh. We bought it from the traders that came from Arizona. Oh, how neat. I've always liked the watch bands. You're really buying the watch band, not the watch. Exactly. You know, it's funny. I have never seen a good watch in these. It's always a cheap watch in these beautiful bands. And the jewelers don't have to dip in money. Right. Because they're cheap watches. Yes. I always thought, well, gee, if you put a nice watch in these, that'd be even more fun. But the bands are beautiful. I would say of the two, this one's probably the better because of the larger stones. I think so. I said that myself to me. Yes. This one. I said the other one is the silver. It's more about the silver work. Exactly. And it's just really a style. You know, a lot of a lot of men who wear them want these big, chunky stones, but a lot of women want to see more of the work. I've never actually tried anything. Young people are really liking the Western look. Absolutely. I'm glad to hear that. Yes, I do think younger people are appreciating things. And I'm glad that you had some success with them because I feel like they're coming into the market and they're starting to understand and they're realizing how neat this stuff is. And also, you know, they're I think they're starting to appreciate something that is that is, you know, not just a factory made in Asia and there's 50 of them in a row. You know, if you want something that really is different, this cute little guy is running for his life. A bunch of cute dog stuff here, actually, 1930s and 40s. This one is made in Japan, the Scotty little jar there. And this one's a wall pocket. And look at the orange, but it was on this set of bookends. Forty two dollars. Here is an interesting conundrum. So we have these two vases and they look essentially the same. Little different glaze inside, slightly different size of color, but pretty much identical. And yet this one is highland from the southeast. And this one is marked Vanguard Accents. And I could have sworn that was a California pottery company. So now the question is, did Highland sell their molds for them? Did Highland produce under a separate name? Something really beguiling to me about the shape of this. I don't think I've ever seen this piece of glass. It's just pressed. But that's just such a cool shape. It looks like a 70s era color. I have to admit, I'm a little stumped by that one. I've never seen that. Lisa found out about Salmon Falls Pottery from Crazy Lamp Lady. It's a relatively contemporary pottery. I think it's got a 2002 date on it, but it's really nicely done. And I had not paid attention to this before. I'm learning to pay attention to studio pottery, though, thanks to her. I personally like these corporate tags where they have the face of the person. And this was what you had to wear to get into work every day, particularly during the Second World War. Here's an interesting thing. These are for the Kris Koss card machines. And you use a nickel, and it was like a Nickelodeon where these would flip, and you could see the various things. And this is a Jaguar XKE and an Alpha Coupe. Those are worth a fortune now. These were made in Amityville, New York. Yes, the same place as the Amityville Horror, but this is a really interesting series here. Two for a nickel, three for a nickel, and then you can flip through them. Somebody marked that one down way back when. But they show some really great aircraft, some really great cars, and things that are of interest to people that you just don't see anymore. I'd love to see the machine that played these and see what it looked like when they ran through 1930s or 40s Dahlstrom brass door handles. Very popular for people restoring houses now. Nice price here on the Imperial Rose iridescent bowl, only $10. I think I just sold a very similar piece for about double that. Only $8 on the Miss America Compote in the pink. I always thought that was a pretty piece of Depression West from the 30s. So there are some good deals here. It's not just a retail show. You can actually buy things for resale too, and we had a lot of resellers come through this weekend. And this is Sirocco wood made with the pipe stand. Interesting mix of motifs here. You have the dog in the pipe stand, which I think is real cute. There's your little ashtray. Your cigarette would burn this material because it's a wood composite, so you had to have the blast liner. And then you have all these lumberjack related items. And then someone in front of the cabin, they just sort of threw all sorts of motifs together on that one. But that actually makes it kind of fun. And the tapestry on this bench is very, very pretty with the corners. Here's a nice low marble table for $65. Cut down coffee table height. Yep, cut down to coffee table because they did that a lot in the 20s with the old Eastlake pieces from the 1870s. But actually, it would work great as a coffee table. And I'm seeing more interest in marble top than I have for a long time, it seems. You too? Yeah, a lot of young girls are buying through the porch. Yes. Washing them, distressing them. Yeah. It's rusty, crusty, flaky. Oh, and look at this. This has been reclaimed. This is belonged to her great-grandmother. It has bunny rabbits in the handles. Oh, I'm sure. Replating is not cheat. Oh, very nice. Wow. Yes, I like the hand chasing on them. And those look like they're... well, the whole thing is probably, what, 1890 or so. That is lovely. And yeah, for the cost of the replating, $250 is actually a pretty reasonable price for it again. Not only do I like your collection of mirrors from the 20s, but I really like the way you've got them displayed. I never thought of just... You should have seen it when I started. They went all up the wall, but you must have sold a bunch. Oh, well, yeah, I did. Yeah. I had a bunch. Oh, that's wonderful. Yeah, they're really pretty. I like the ones with the etch. Particularly, they're priced in the $100 range. This is how you do farmhouse. You use old stuff, and you can get a really cool look, and you're using stuff that is actually genuine. But in the middle, we have this spot of color. And this particular piece is a Kammark piece, and I love the fact that you can arrange in it. And they are asking $34. That's from about 1940. Well, I just can't say enough about this wonderful town and these people who make it so fun to do this antique show. I'm so glad I got to shop, too. I bought some really neat stuff, and a lot of people who came went home with some really nice additions to their collections. If you enjoyed this video, check out this one.
