Hello I’m Lou, from Lou’s Antiques & Collectibles. I have been buying and selling items as a second income for more than 25 years. Folks always ask me where to go to find objects to sell so I decided to show everyone the places I go, through Junking With Lou.
I'm always curious about what other shoppers buy in places like these. And, wouldn't it be fun to spend a day hanging out near the counter, watching what comes and finding out what everyone plans on doing with their finds. Also, how many times is the shopkeeper called on to get bulky objects out, or down from high up.
From what I’ve been told it is really random what people buy. They use it for decorating and often to flip. We’ve had people buying for movie companies at time which is pretty neat. Every month Maumee puts a list out with popular items that month. Vintage clothing seems to always be on that list.
If there are no reproductions made it makes it really simple. Sometimes the reproductions are different in size and often the seams are more coarse. Also the colors are a little different at times. Usually the quality is just not as well made.
Hiya Lou, I was thinking about you yesterday!---That booth that had the tall crystal lamps turned on made me wonder...does the booth owner do that, or do they leave instructions for the attendants to do that every day?---What a challenge to get sale items up/down from up there, huh?
❤I love glass, since I was. A child. ( I’m 70) I would go to the nearby five and dime on a Saturday morning and buy a piece of glass with my $.50 allowance after I purchased a hotdog on a bun. Looking at this glass is bringing back a flood of memories. I believe we are all kindred spirits.
We have had so much company this last month and my husband has been working a lot so we are really backed up. Hopefully we can get going again. Thanks for hanging in there. I looking forward to some normalcy too.
I always used the books by Florence The depression glass club always had Florence autograph books at their shows. You can buy them or they are often in the library. He has numerous titles regarding depression glass and collectible glass.
You pick up a cup that had howdy dudey on it. The pitcher was blue on clear glass. You only picked it up for a sec. Do u know how old that is ? I only asked because I have 5 of them all different colors
So this was just you naming glass patterns. Where’s the “how to?” I was hoping to learn how to look at glass patterns and determine Fostoria from Fenton from Viking. On to the next video…
I know depression glass has been a difficult sell but I just sold a bunch of clear depression for good money. It was shocking for me too. Hoping for a resurgence in this area. Things keep changing in this world. Unfortunately I can’t predict. Thanks for watching.
I always feel guilty about leaving some dolls behind that I find in thrift stores or estate sales.---Interesting about that candy dish, my grandmothers both had one, & I bought a cranberry & clear one to have of my own, but then ruined it by trying to kill ants in the microwave. Sigh.---I thought that turquoise bead necklace was popbead, but realized at the end that it wasn't. That pale blue one you thought was natural stone really is larimar! Only source from the Dominican Republic...you need to do research on pricing for that. Around here, it's pricey & sought after!---So happy to see you tonight, I was thinking about you earlier today!
@@junkingwithlou I love your channel. I guess you have to do what you can to make a profit. I used to sell at a flea market, and I would try to see what was moving best. I enjoy your videos because now I am disabled and not able to get out. It is like an adventure for me. ☺️💕☺️.
I don’t think so. I’ve gone different months and haven’t known a difference. If it is very hot out it has been a challenge to complete the entire market.
Ill be a vendor at this years festival. I used to run a vintage store in Chicago with a good friend and now have TONS of stuff still from clothes (20s through 90s) a nice selection of salt and pepper shakers, houswares, ephemera, purses and scaves galore, a little jewelry, cracker jack toys from the 30s -60s, i have something for everyone. Too bad i wont have time to shop for my personal collection.. But thank you for these videos, they have gotten me even more excited for next weekends event!
Yes indeed, you really scored when you snagged that hardware bin! The re-arranging, this time, seemed more difficult than usual simply because you added more hardscaping. But, the overall effect was just what was needed & 'should' make future swaps easier (unless, of course, you find another bargain display piece to add to the booth!)
I liked that you identified the items but it would have been awesome if you had mentioned the values of the earlier years like the depression Era, 1900s -1950s
If we are talking about the same thing I believe they are in plaza antique in Lincoln park. Are you in the area? I think they are in the very corner shelf. Message me at Lou’s antique and collectibles. My Facebook
I'm pushing 76 and I still have the one we used when I was a child. We buttered 2 pieces of bread, put sliced or diced apples between the bread slices, put it in the contraption, closed it and cut off the edges of bread that were sticking out. Cooked it on the stove burner and Voila, instant pie! I loved these as a child.
