We Almost Drove Past This Incredible Find

Good morning, I'm on the Arkansas-Oklahoma border looking for garage sales, estate sales, and anything that comes our way. It's early in the morning and my hair is still wet and that means that I'm not really awake and cannot be held responsible for any bad buys that I make this morning. Okay, what do we have here? Plastic? I want this to be bronze, but that's not. Tories, all looking newer so far. I'm hoping maybe there's another generation stuck in here that I'm gonna hit. My little Kermit, I expect this here has been done a few too many times. Paw Patrol. Hot Wheels, is this old? No. A couple old things here. This is time to dent it. 20 bucks for a child saddle, but it's a little crusty. And 20 for this one. A little bee nut, still that's a good price. Don't read this, but it's nice and mute. 94 for a buck, but I have a bunch of moose. And this one's newer because it's got the pebbly bottom, so okay. Thank you. Oh yeah, these are those old Falls Graff. Games made into mirrors, those are cool. All right, let's see, a Budweiser Nug. I think these are Sarah Larson. I have Staffel West German, so 80s. A Wexford Bowl. Useful stuff, nothing old. 25 new in the box, that's not bad. We got any old recipe books. That's starting to get back to the 70s. This would be fun. My brother-in-law used to have a trunk. It was constantly in the garage. Well, these folks have some cool stuff, including the old wrecker there. That's a neat old vehicle. They have got the CDs. Bottles. I like the RC, but it's a little faded. Where's the Coca-Cola from? It's obviously something that was buried. Okmulgee, Oklahoma. 50s here, and Yeti is a dead one, and the old Singer. Old Bud's also in the series here. The Singer with the travel case is one misty. If it was a Featherweight, I'd take it at that price, but I think it's a little bigger. It depends. Yeah. Featherweight for, you know, for carrying around if I'm gonna go to a quilt, uh, question or a tree or something like that. Right, it's easier. Yeah, but just for straight sewing, I prefer that one. The 99k, yeah, well, it's a little heftier. Yeah. Hmm. All righty, well, thank you. The other guy that was there, the three guys, the other guy. Well, I like that sewing machine, and I would have sprung for it if it was a Featherweight. The 99k is a good machine too. She had 150 on it. That's about what they sell for retail, so I'm gonna leave it, but it was in good shape. Okay, we found a little roadside flea market that just popped up in Spiro, Oklahoma, so let's take a look. Jewelry is splashy, but I don't see anything old. Enamelware. I don't have the inside for it. Oh, well, that's all right. They're out there somewhere. Yeah. The dog is cute. Generally, you find them all porcelain, yeah, yeah, people threw them away. Brass cricket box is cute. Made in India. John Deere lamp. That's kind of fun, but that looks like a Chinese cord. That one is a fin. These look like they're Bohemian kind of like those. Something I've got. It's coin silver. Oh, yeah. And anyway, the glasses broke on that, and I've tried, looked high and low to find the glass. See, it's hallmark. Yeah, they can be hard to match, but look at the date on there. 1884. Oh, yeah, that's kind of an early one for this sort of a winder, isn't it? I figured probably got $50 worth of silver, but if it does sell for $50, I got it at a state auction. Oh, nice. Yeah. Now I'd say you're right, actually. And the movement works. Does it? Yeah, the little second hand work probably doesn't need to be serviced. A couple pieces of glass here. This looks like Imperial. I like that one. Fostoria American. The lidded jar is one that does actually do sell. The whole pottery piece is cute. It all depends on prices on these. None of them are exceptional. They're all kind of neat. That's Fenton Silvercrest. That is, too, but that was an apron missing a horn. Okay, the Bastia was Imperial, and it was all right, but I left it because he gave me better deals on these. $10 on the Hull. I know Hull is just starting to make a comeback, but that's a $25 or $30 piece in today's market. $10 on the Fostoria, but it's the candy jar. And I find with Fostoria, if I buy pieces that are useful to people for other reasons rather than just people collecting the pattern, I can sell those pieces. $10 for the two of those, and then the two Fenton pieces. So not bad for just happening across this little bunch of people, and I still have another one to shop. It's got a trailer full of stuff, and a lot of stuff in boxes. So this is always fun because you never know what you might find. Could be junk, but there could be something good hiding in there. Trivets from the 70s. A lot of people collected those at the time. They're not generally worth a whole lot. Lots of utensils. I see one Bakelite handle here. It's an OK knife that's a little rusty there, so we'll leave that. Old cooler. Someone's repainted the top. Actually, they put vinyl on it. Made with oaky red mud. Looks like we've got some sort of a Pyrex lid, or a Corel lid. Old 70s meat chopper in that rust orange color that was popular then. Trailer lights. An old motor of some sort. OK, let's see here. 79 Ford. What model? How to use this owner's guide. Lock your car. Lots of stuff about locking your car. Like a 79 Ford was likely to get stolen. Would you like service literature? I'd like to not need it. Apparently that's just generic for all Fords. This box in here. A product of General Controls. Well, it's empty. Cookie decorating sets in the box. You do see these. People bought them and then didn't really use them. Old pie tin. California pies. $0.10 deposit. You were supposed to bring this back. I guess they lost their $0.10. Those are little. Miniature duets for teacher and pupil. That's old, but not real interesting. 1984. Yeah, nothing in there. Still worth digging. You just never know. It looks like they just emptied out a storage locker and brought it all here. That is a glass bake pattern, but I don't have a big call for that. Dresser tray, but it's bent. Bunch of die cast cars. Boy, are there a lot of those in collection that are starting to come out. Now this one was made in China as a novelty, so no big shakes there. Got a Hummer underneath there. Oh, this thing has been destroyed, but it is a Studebaker bullet nose, and it was a promotional model. This would be worth about $100 if it was in any kind of condition, but this one is truly just for parts. All right, I see another Fenton piece in here. Uh-huh, this one is an apron bottom. Sure would be great if we could find the horns that went with this. If we had the whole thing, that would be worth buying because it's the apartment size, and those are nice for people who already have a big collection and would like another one that will fit in a smaller space. I see there's a Fenton star shape cream and sugar and hobnail. I've had some like selling those if they're cheap, which they might be considering that it looks like this was just dug out of a really old shed somewhere. Well, then I might take that one. Oh, and there's the crewette. No horns, darn. And that looks like the bottom of a Westmoreland grape. This plane might be a little hard to use. Old Keys, San Antonio, Texas fog from the Alamo. That's actually got some age. Old DAV tag from Kansas. The veterans would sell those to raise money. Northeast ignition wire and some old keys. Old videotape for Gone with the Wind. There is the Dale Earnhardt who's gone. That's just a tourist piece. I bought one that you could actually use recently. I can bear it, can you? Well, today I can. Come back here in a couple months, you might change or two. This is neat because it's like amethyst from about 1930 and it would have been a beverage holder. Would be great if you had the glasses for it. And then this little old radio. What's the chances of that still working? No way to tell out here in the field. And it's pretty worn and missing the glass. So I think we're going to leave it be. Folks have guns and ammo, but it's not old stuff that would be vintage. So I think I've seen, I've seen what's here. Go ahead and pick up this set. Hobnail milk glass. Well, it is starting to sell and it is filthy as can be. But $5 for the pair was the main attraction because those are easily worth about $20 for the set. People like that shape on the top and they are Fenton from the 60s. Well, I don't get a whole lot of days to just wander around and look at garage sales. And like you see, little garage sales, roadside flea markets, people just have stuff to sell and they just pop up any day of the week. This is a Thursday.

Also, please click the thumbs up to let YouTube know you're enjoying this video. It really does help the channel and we sure appreciate the support. He says this stuff is for sale. I actually like the industrial cart. Those are handy for me for shows and displays. That one's a little rough and I don't really have room to take it. An old Ford portable generator. Never knew they made them. Old desk. But here we go. Here's some little stuff. Music boxes. I am starting to pay attention to San Francisco music box company stuff because they were a big deal for a while and now they're gone. Magnetic chess. That could be handy if you're playing out on your boat or somewhere where it's windy. Or if you have kids or animals who knock your chess game over before you're done. More utensils. More kitchen stuff. Kind of the basics. The propeller is sort of cool, but I like the brass ones. Old bit set. These can sell. This one's 20 bucks. Kent Moore organization from Detroit. I'd say this is from about 1930 approximately. It's not a bad price. Marquess Daisy and Dot down there. Old Wexford cake stand is in the original box. They made this pattern a while. That's 1980s. It was $9.97 at Walmart back then. They are useful and people like cake domes. Old tractor seats, but I've got a couple and they used to sell for me and I've had mine for a while, so we'll wait on those. $15 on the no truck sign. It's a little rough. Some old copper wire art. Binette chairs, but $10 for all four, but they need reupholstery. Made right. This is a newer one, but they were made by the same company, Columbus Washboard, for many years. $15. Yeah, they're still making those things. That's cheap. Yeah, it is. Old slaw cutter is $7. I've had luck selling those old concrete planters, but they're really heavy to move and I'm not in the mood. You get a bunch of old lamps actually. Otherwise, I might be interested. I see you've got a big selection, but I'm about to come into just about the same exact that you've got there. $3,500 on the Massey Ferguson. That's not a bad price if it runs well. A couple old school desks and one wagon, but it's got a bad reel. Well, I pulled over because I saw this sign. Coach's Bargain Lot. It's a metal and lumber store that says it has antiques and furniture. Do I believe it? I don't know. We'll go see. Wow, this place has some stuff. Pilgrim Sunglasses from Hong Kong. That looks like something from when I was a kid. Smokey the Bear is definitely collectible. These look like they're from the 50s through 70s. Lone Star Beer Clock. That would sell. It's a little scuffed, but it's cool. Old faded embossed signs. They're good. This is cool. 1954 Driving Arcade Game. Drive yourself road test and it says it works. $1,100. Haven't seen this since I was very, very young. And you would steer the wheel. International Mutoscope Corporation. They made a lot of those things for the old Nickelodeons back in the day. Old 7up panel has been put in a backlit frame. That's kind of neat. Beefeater has lost a leg. Mission Orange Calendar. Nice small 50s Coke vendor that you could actually fit in a house. 50s gas pump too. That one's $1,700. What do they have on this guy? $1,199. Old cigarette and candy machines. I remember when you could just walk up and buy cigarettes. I remember as a kid my parents gave me a buck to get them a pack of cigarettes out of this and nobody blinked. Times have changed. You've got some pretty cool store displays in here. Well he knows what he's got and it's priced accordingly, but he does have some really cool stuff in here. Buckle up for safety. This is a California Originals bull cookie jar from about 1970. That's fun. Dad's Root Beer is something we really only see in stores that have the old nostalgic sodas now, but it used to be pretty commonly found. This is from the 60s with the bottle cap and that is $195. Rather old tin here with the rhinestones, pavé, and enameling from the 1940s. That is probably a Trembler, meaning that the little stamens in the top shake. It has a few dead stones. It would really depend on the price whether it was worth restoring or not. This looks to be off some piece of farm equipment. $12. Wow, you marble collectors would go crazy here. There are so many. You could spend a day looking through all this. I mean, I see a lot of them are clear, a lot of them are newer, but then we get into some of these where we see some swirls. This looks like it was gathered because notice that it's a little rough. So it was hand-formed. That's a nice swirl. I know to look for three color and up because sometimes they're more valuable. So much to know about marbles. This one is Heaton Cat's Eyes, but it's in the original Heaton Agate Company bag from about the 1960s. I have some mainline marbles, but that's actually just the holder. These are random arcade marble marbles made in USA. $0.10 new. It's got some bottles sorted by color. You know, there's probably sleepers in here. You just have to take your time and it just goes on and on and on. I know I'm killing some of you marble collectors out there because you're probably spotting things that I don't know to look for. Yeah, it's fun to go into these old backcountry antique stores like this and just see the random assortment of stuff they've accumulated over the years. And I'm sure somewhere in here we're going to find something we have to take with us. Old boxing gloves. Let's see how old. No, old enough to be torn. Orange Crush, another 60s bottle cap signed for $2.50. I like this. O'Peace gag system. Groceries and meats. The surety of purity. This is when general stores gave way to supermarkets. Safeway, for example, in the west was named because everything was packaged and contained and you couldn't just stick your hands in it and grab it yourself, which was the safe way to shop. Miles Family Good for you, Douglas and Breeden. And then this is cool. The famous Judge Roy Bean horse thief trial. That's a neat print from about 1950 based on an original painting. 65 on the hitcher chop plate and four tumblers in the Matlock's Ivy. The tumblers are actually the hard thing to find. Then behind I see for $15 a Camargue pottery trophy vase. I always like their 1930s shapes and that maroon glaze. $4.95 is not bad on an old scale. They're heavy and they take some room but they're cool and they can double as a full-length mirror so you can see how great your shoes look. And there's a huge back room. So let's keep looking. Fancy phones. $25 is actually a pretty good price on that but it needs a lot of cleanup and I've got one already. I like that blue pin, blue green on the stocks. That is something different. I think I want to see that one. A metal thread box that usually came in the 19-teens or so after the wooden ones. Metal lasted a little better when they were shipping them around, I think. The Roe A.M.I. jukebox. This is from the 70s. I think that stained glass panel is a replacement and you can listen to Elvis. They started out as the young rascals then they just became the rascals. Now I guess they're the old rascals but I always like that album. The barber chairs are cute but I really like the wooden barber pole with the painting. I've had one barber pole in my career. They went into collections years ago and you don't see them very often. I would love to have that. I imagine it's not inexpensive. We'll find out. $95 each on the sterilizer case. This is not a bad price, especially with all the decals. Those are fun for display. Oh, I see what it is. This all came out of a barber shop and they're asking $2,000 for the entire collection together or they have things priced individually. Another Kammark vase with an interesting shape from the 30s when they started hand painting again. They've got $26.95 on that. Not a bad price. Kammark was made in neighboring Arkansas. That's always been my motto. Rubik made the cube as a test for his students. It became a big fad in the 80s and then they started making knockoffs and there's all sorts of varieties. There are people collecting these now. I never was good at solving them. I would have to peel the stickers off and stick them all on one side to pass that class. Old Jenny's 25 cent slot machines. They're asking about $2,000 a piece, five and dime. They're all pretty much the same. They're in great shape. It looks like they would work. Fun at home. Legal in most states. There are some states where you cannot own these. I like the orange color on the little travel case here. Oh, and they're only asking $9. Now, there's an old school price on something that people like a lot better now than they used to. It is not nice inside. Will that clean up? Well, it is mildew, but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be clean. Yeah, it actually looks like it would clean up and it's a great color. So, I may take that even though it's a project. And wow, have they got the salt and pepper shakers. Although, I don't see a lot that are older. A lot of these are going to have plastic bottom stoppers and I really look for things the generation earlier. I like the ones with the cork stoppers personally. So many great things like gumball machines. I mean, they're all priced at retail, but if you collected $150 for that model and $140 for the Abbey, it's not really a bad price. It's about what they go for. And they have a couple of really neat antique editors and the one on the left is only $400. They've been painted black, which was something that was done around 1900. But they're really wonderful for display. I have sold these for as much as $800 and $900, but I don't have any way to take that home. Look how little this payphone is. And an interesting color too. With the point release, it is legitimately a payphone. It's on the small side, but that is pretty likable. I'm not expecting it to be cheap, but I might ask a price on that. A story about etiquette. Talking about Emily Post. Personally, I think that if you have enough common sense and are polite enough, then why worry your head about if I put my elbow here, will it be okay? Why worry about that? Be comfortable. Don't always feel stiff and hard to do anything. Just remember that if the people are stiff and afraid, then they aren't half as comfortable as you are, and you're still behaving nicely. I agree with you, Nancy Eads. $16 each on the Weller baskets are good prices, and $20 on the Camark vase behind it, which is shaped like an old Paris vase from the 1870s, but would have been made in the 1930s. This is another Camark piece, the sniffing dog. Sometimes they sold these with a Greypet soda label on them, because Greypet was made in the same town, Camden, Arkansas, and they're only asking $4.95 for that, which is pretty cheap. But is this a glaze burn or just dirt? Yeah, that is under the glaze, so that's the reason for the cheap price. This reminds me of the Robert Knax, well, you name them, his little critters, but this one is made of wood. Somebody got the same idea. That is really cute as an hors d'oeuvre holder, and I bet it won't be much. I'm going to take that up there. Another great old jukebox. The refrigerator done up is Coca-Cola, and the telephone switchboard, and a cool old desk with a bunch of old envelopes, or as we call them, covers. These look like a lot of them are Second World War. It's a big side-mounted churn, the Chippenham Hathaway from about 1910. If we are in farm country, you would have seen a lot of people using things like this, especially if they were making excess into products they could sell. Ready kilowatt ashtrays. They seem to have a whole bunch of these at $7 each. We definitely have collectors for these in Kentucky and in Washington state, both places I sell, so I might pick up one or two of these. Ready kilowatt, of course, the electric industry guy with the lightning-shaped body, and the little antenna on his head, and a light bulb for a nose. These would be 1950s. Chesterfield new filter cigarette case. It's missing some of the parts, but that's a great old piece from the 1920s. You can tell 20s because of his beret. That seems like it would be sort of distracting. A whole bunch of houndstooth and tweety looking coats from the 1950s, 60s era here. Ten cents, see at work. This is one of these crane toys where you would actually operate the crane and then pick yourself out some little plastic bobble back in the 1960s, and if you got it in the hole, then you won it for a dime. This is cute for $30. It is a Donald Duck tidy up made in the 1950s. The box is not in good shape, but inside what we see is that this is actually a masonite coat hanger, or maybe it's layered cardboard actually, and you put the pegs in Donald Duck, and that was to keep you from having your stuff all over the floor. Somebody repainted this multi-mixer a kelly green with metallic sparkles sometime probably in the 80s or 90s to put in some sort of a retro setting. Unfortunately, that really diminishes the value, but these can be worth $300 to $400 if they're in the original jadeite green. A violin uke. This was a form of zither done in the early 1900s. My kindergarten teacher was rather elderly, and she played one of these for us when we were very, very little. They cost $35 new. That was a lot of money back then. This place just has so much stuff, and a lot of it is fun. Condition? Well, it varies. Two old coca-cola trays. The one on the left, the 1950, is about the most common of the older ones. The one on the right is 1941, and that one's harder to find. It's not in great shape, but even in that condition it's worth over $100. Another really cool 1950s arcade game. This is Mermaid, and apparently this is an insert from a machine. I'm not sure exactly what you did. You put the quarter in, and I guess it was like a slot machine, but it just lit up on its own, and then you found out if you won something, I guess. Because there... ah, there's the slots. Okay, now I get it. You would roll it, and depending on what number you got, that's what would pay out. Nice looking old cameo here. It is scenic, and this one's old because that is a C-class, which was used in the Victorian era and up until about 1910. So we're going to ask about this, too. Another display item from before 1964, because it's got the postal code that says 3. So, funny thing, I ended up buying a wall phone instead of the payphone. The payphone was missing some parts, and he said, oh, I thought you meant this phone over here. He sold me an automatic electric phone, which I'm going to show you right now. He said, I paid $60. I'll sell it to you for $80. It has some cosmetic issues. It probably needs a little bit of rewiring, but these old wall phones from the 1920s are pretty hard to find, and in this condition, they sell for about $130. So really, I didn't want to pay more than $65, but I bundled it with the cameo and the other pieces, and he charged me $4 for a Victorian cameo because I stepped up and paid a little bit more for the phone. So don't always think of it as an individual thing. Sometimes bundling, you just have to take it as a whole and say, hey, overall, I got a great deal, which I did. And had I refused the phone and he was just selling me a few little things, he probably would have looked at it closer and charged me the $35 wholesale that it was worth because it's a good cameo, a scenic, it's probably worth $75 to $100. Well, this place looks like a pop-up thrift shop, so we're going to try it too. Well, this is Monique's thrift store, and she said I could take a look around. I see a couple of older pieces of Indiana glass and some mugs. Burning Mad. Oh, I liked that when I was a kid. That was one of my favorite books. $8. Yeah, these have become kind of collectible now. She's got a lot of clothes, including these sequin numbers from the 80s, 90s era and beyond, which are definitely becoming more collectible now. I'm gonna have to start learning my labels on these because I look at this and I'm not sure which are the ones to buy, but they're sure shiny and flashy. Cute afghans that I'm pretty well stocked with those. Some little glass novelties. I do see one vase down here I kind of like. $14. I don't think this one's going to have age. No, not when you see that bottom on them. The lamp, on the other hand, that's kind of cool, and it's got a shade. It's a nash. Boat lamp. $50. That's about the right price on these. Wine and cheese. Is this painted on velvet? No, it's actually a print of a painting. Ah, Twisted Sister. Yes, the 1980s. It was a time. Some cool jewelry, but this is all newer than what I do. My sister used to joke about being my Twisted Sister, so this will be a gift. We'll see if she remembers that era. Those are great. Lots of kid stuff. Yeah, that is elegant. It's really cool. Well, I do like the vampire costume. I don't know if I could pull it off. $2.50 for the old towel bar is a good price. People like those when they're restoring an old house. Lots of kid stuff. The Barbies are not my era, but I do see a Cabbage Patch Kid, and this says that it is Sandy from Annie. $5. Yep, that's an old Knickerbocker. Oh, Eagle Scout Mentor. Oh, I see. Yeah, something. Right, right, for helping Eagle Scouts. Lots of jewelry. Mardi Gras beads and such. Oh, they are very organized. They have lots of baby clothes. I mean, it's such a thing. It's such a savings if you have young kids to shop at estate sales and not have to buy everything brand new. Certainly, that was the way I was raised, and I guess that's why I like all these old things now. $5 is a great price on the Turkey Roaster and the Cranberry Visions from about 1990. People, a little bit of false advertising. No antiques there, but this was what made me go garage sailing today, so I owe them a thank you anyway. If you enjoyed this video, check out this one.
