This time we found even more cool stuff! There is at least one thing in here you can't even buy anymore, it was taken off the shelves in 1975 due to health concerns.
How anyone could give this a "Thumb's down" is beyond me! Keep picking thing's up, and letting us see them, I'm enjoying every minuet of it. Of course we want to see more video's like this, you take me place's that I can't get to anymore. Keep up the good work, I'm loving every minuet of it.
I think the quality stamps magazine was actually a catalog. Probably for green stamps or one of the others. You used to get them at the grocery store, so many stamps per dollar amount or something like that. Then you could cash them in for household items. I love that you guys get so in depth and really show us the stuff in the houses. I want to see more than just the architecture. The items are what give me the warm fuzzies. I get nostalgic (I remember most of the items in this house). I also love that you actually show us the pictures of the people. It gives me more of a sense of connection to the house and it’s owners. The only thing I can really critique is the prescription medicine. I don’t think it would have hurt to let us see the label, I doubt that person is still alive.
the Stanley broom...Stanley Home Products. the old nightgown looked like a ladies slip. the Sears logo thing is a shoe horn....omg :). That green can is a flower vase. 1976, that's super old. I'm dying here..lol. you should be plugged in with some of us old people, we can tell you what this stuff is. The old Zenith thing probably is not a speaker but a stereo, lift the top! Emmerson would be a speaker. Some of the old drinking glasses, the ones with the smoked bottoms were often given out at gas stations, buy so much gas and get a glass.
The blue bottle is probably bubble bath and judging from dates you are reading the cleaners are in cans because they had not descovered plastic bottles yet. the record player and end table lookes to be from 70s.
The hair from the hospital was hair that was shaved from someone’s head prior to surgery. The nurses probably sent it as a keepsake. In 1973 the operating room nurses saved my daughter’s hair they shaved before surgery and gave it to me. I still have it.
I had a dubs brand flat cap or cabbie work for years comfortable hat. Love fedoras. But I like him with a bigger for him. That's these are more modern fedoras . Good find
You're so young! I remember almost all of these products and magazines, but then again I was in my 20's in the 70s. By the way, that was a ladies slip and not a night gown. I've enjoyed your video. Thanks for the memories!
I love how you two will go through stuff. It makes me crazy when people just walk by a calendar and not show us the year or even mention any dates on things their poking through and not being curious enough to open a box or suit case. Thank you for your curious nature and interest in old things If you do happen to go back to that place will you show me the women's clothing hanging in that closet thing or if you ever run into other places you feel safe enough to show what kind of clothes are in closets and such I would love to see. Thanks very much for taking us on your adventures they are so fun.
That octagon table in the first room has a door in it if you guys ever go back. I was hoping you'd discover it. That cotton swab box was Incredible!! So was the baby powder! That entire dig in that hole was fascinating-just my style of interest! I have a tin of the Griffen polish. Videos like these are why I keep coming back to your channel, thanks for letting me live vicariously!
Spray paint (and other products) were pre- 1974. no SKU's (bar codes) It started about then. Also important are the cans etc. labeled in oz."s.without the ml. milliliters. The Stanley broom was cool. Stanley products were sold door to door until 1970. The cotton swabs and oil o- sol etc. - town with no zip code = pre 1967. The hair was probably a death memento.( get well card?). And - "Taking" that stuff is not like stealing - you'd be "rescuing". These places are a lightening strike or vandal's match away from destruction. If you feel guilty - sell the stuff and donate the funds to some historical society. Great camera work by Bekah as usual. I'm new to your videos, thanks for going back to this house. I didn't see the first one.
I totally agree...it's not boarded up, doesn't have do not enter signs or trespassers prosecuted. If you're prepared to go to the trouble of rescuing/saving it then you're doing the hard work to preserve part of history. Most people regard it as worthless junk. I hope you 'rescued' that amazing avocado green vase....worth about $150-200 Au. I looked through an old suburban house shed and collected old bottles & tubes & an old bakelite phone. The next day the bulldozers came in. My brother has those tubes & bottles displayed in his games room & visitors are fascinated by them. Kids are stunned that people used a phone like that too. I, too, think the hair swatch is a death memento.
I love how respectful you guys are going through these abandoned homes. You covered the Bible with a hat to protect it, Rick. That touched my heart. So sweet.
My dad wore Old Spice. He would put it on after he shaved. WOW, You are bringing back so many memories in this house from my parents and grandparents. Thanks
Since 1885 Oil-O-Sol has been used to treat almost any type of skin irritation. ... It is a Natural Essential Oil Blend Ointment that contains no additives or dyes, it is non-stinging, non-staining and non-drying to your skin.
R&B, (hey - that's cool) ... I think I've seen every abandoned house video on the web while goofin' off here at work. This particular house is easily in the top 3 if not number one. Too much cool and valuable stuff to count. I had to watch it a few more times. Nice find.
Now y’all are finding things that I grew up with in the 60s I remember we had campo phenique like that in the seventies.We actually polished our shoes back in the 60s and am
My grandma had glassware like the green vase at 27:47. I Googled it and apparently the vase was part of glassware made by Anchor Hocking between 1966 and 1970. The color is called 'avocado green'. And I enjoyed this. I'd like to see more like this. Thanks. :)
Great video, that red Christmas bulb may have been a hand blown one, commonly from Germany. which could be collectable, and worth money..Looking for your next adventure.. Be careful and stay safe..
Pack up the older small products and take them home...clean them up and display them..its not stealing,its rescuing..in a few years the place will collapse and all those things are lost forever...
great re-explore guys , love the old Zenith, Stereo,,,,,,, with a little TLC,,,,, i'll bet that could work again, they were good units back in their day, that stereo dates back to about the mid 1960's ,,and that Emerson goes back to at least the early 60's,, awesome , and yes i'm into old Stereo's ,, and the Hankscraft plastic holder was for a vaporizer,,,, that's what the glass part of the old vaporizer's sat in,,, my family had one for years
This was amazing, guys! Finding these old products is so interesting. You can't help but wonder who these people were, how did they die, and why is their house abandoned. You both did a wonderful job!
l love watching you both and telling us what is what exspecaily the days of newpapers and magazines just like watching this how the people leave their houses and leave everything behind sometime wonder why they do that and l do not like it when other people come to the abandoned house and mess everything up and not leave it so you both can see what they left behind but keep it up l enjoy your exploring abandoned house as the only time l see this on your youtube as l leave in czech republic and it is good to see it here on youtube, thank you both.
I love your videos! When you went through this the first time was the first video I watched of yours. I'm happy to see you're so respectful of all of the things inside. I know this place is abandoned, but my heart stopped when you were going to spray the paint on the wall! Please don't ruin the house's integrity!
If I remember correctly you said the lock of hair was in an envelope from a hospital. It was a large lock of hair. Makes me think maybe a child had passed and they requested a lock of hair. I hope this wasn't the case. Fire King dishes are collectible and so is the Mrs. Buttersworth bottle. Great video. Glad you took the time to look through the old things.
I like how you seem surprised that stuff would get rooted-around-in in an abandoned house- that's sort of what people do in them (or party...or burn them down) - that is why all the vintage products come home with me......hehe
I agree with taking the odd/rare collectible out of place's like these. I've seen (other) video's where vintage clock's were left behind to rot, some of those thing's belong in a museum.
yeah - they have my full approval -( especially in places that are on the verge of falling down and likely have been rooted around in for years and years)
R & B, My dad used to use Old spice and the green glass thing was a vase and the projector thing you said about was to hold the little squares of negatives to put into the projector to show the slides of photographs 1 at a time. Great video thank you both xx
You guys are awesome. I have subscribed to many channels pertaining to this subject. I must say that you guys are one of my favorites! I love your work. I love how you take the time to explore and look at things. I also love your enthusiasm.
Thank you for going back to show us a closer look at some more cool vintage stuff! I also like metal detecting, you should share some more of your finds!
love seeing the old vintage stuff.i have 5 of the old spice bottles.and that rusty wheel thing is a pully they used years ago inside the home to try cloths.there would of been one each side of the fire.i might be wrong.love these old places keep it rick & bekah thumbs up
The magazine slide projector is exactly that. Pictures are made and made into slides from a 35 mm camera and then you would have these slide in a box like that , load it onto a slot in a slide projector, just like you would load a magazine of CDs and the light from the projector along with it magnifier lens would project it onto a big white screen and everyone would be able to enjoy the slides. You could also have slides made into photos even if they were 50 years old and they would look like you shot them yesterday. Kodak came out with a "Carousel" slide projector and your could watch more. May schools/universities used these as well to show a photo of something just like in Microsoft in Power Point your professor showed you "slides" he had made up on the computer only these were photographs that you took yourself. I strongly suggest in a situation like this where you are going through "trash" that you rescue it for the knowledge of others, otherwise it is lost to history. Even old coins can be used to teach history and they are quite collectible. I don't think anyone would consider that stealing. It will be someday incinerated and what good does that do?
When trying to date something, look for an address and if it has a zip code, it's post 1963. If it has a 2 digit zone between the city and state, it's pre-1963.
The most adorable couple on the you tube❤ just subscribed. Love your adventures and the great footage you all capture. Be safe on these journeys and God bless😊
I have it too! And several other books from the series. It might've been my own grandmother's also, since in 1958 my parents were just a couple years shy of high school. Which reminds me of my favorite cookbook for desserts, of course a Betty Crocker cookbook, this time from around the time my parents got married in 1966. Those recipes still work great today and make delicious desserts!
Linda Chaney yep i remember the icicle draped Christmas tree at our house Only our dog at the time ate them What a mess all over the house last Christmas we had them 😞
Since I have started watching your videos, I have discovered, I am not OLD....I am VINTAGE. LOL I just saw the dancer(Cuban?) on the board. I started laughing because we used to make those in Art Class when I was in JR.High (1964). I made my mom a set of parrots for Christmas. You glued black strings on the outline of whatever, then put glue on the inside of what the string is outlining....and sprinkle in course, colored sand.
The vintage fire king tea cup with the gold rim is worth about $5.00 and is from the 1960's. A little FYI fun fact: Anchor Hocking Glass Corp. of Lancaster, Ohio, began producing low-cost, ovenproof, borosilicate low-expansion glass dinnerware marked “FIRE-KING” in 1942. Production ran through 1976, creating a plentiful supply of affordable table and oven wares for households all over the country. It could be bought in sets or as single pieces; Fire-King items were often given away as grocery store premiums inside packages of pantry and cleaning supplies.
It is such a shame you aren't allowed to remove some of that stuff, much of it is collectable even though it looks like trash to us. The sealed envelopes, back in the day we could send a card will less postage if there was no personal message inside and we just tucked the envelope flap inside instead of sealing. The wages were probably for a week of being a waiter or waitress. Even then they were expecting tips to help out. Minimum wage would have been $2 or maybe a few cents over that per hour.
I googled those meds you found, some I remembered, some I never heard of. That is a very old cabin with very old things in it! You always wonder why things are just left behind! Very interesting video, I had already seen the first one. I follow all your new videos. Keep up the iteresting work!
Exactly right. I had one of these up until 2007 that I had grown up with. My dad showed me how to maintain the elements that sat down in the water. Made new seals for it and replaced the cord on it. used until it was knocked off a shelf and broke. It was an excellent humidifier for winter months. I flipped when Rick picked it up. I knew what it was instantly.
Forgot the quilt - it was on floor where Rick was checking out the old greeting cards. Great job & such a trip down memory lane . I used a lot of those old products in the late 60s - early 70s. (Bet you listen to Mercy Me ! ? ! ? )
Really cool stuff! It's like you went back in time. You guys should be careful inhaling all those moldy, dusty particles. I love looking at items from the past. Do more videos on places that have historical items.
Those old table top record players are nice, reminds me of the ones you see in the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. I bet VWestlife would be interested in seeing these.
He's big on vintage electronics such as computers and sound systems, some of the things he shows on his channel are quite interesting and one thing he seems to be into are turntables. I bet if he watched this video he might be able to give some insight on the ones you found.
Wow all the meds you were reading. camphofanique is what I used when I was a kid. The hats you need to take with you they are worth something and they are still in good condition
I think the Quality Stamp book. Is like Gold Bond Stamps and Green Stamps. 60's and 70's. You save them up when you buy grocery's. The cashier gives you these stamps depending on the amount you spend. You have a book to put them in. You fill up the books and go to the store and turn the books in for the amount you need for the product you get. My mom saved Gold Bond Stamps and my Grandmother saved Green Stamps. I bet this is the same thing. I still have my TV Trays that I got with my mom back in the 70's.
I dtill have my TV Trays I got way back in the early 70's. They were with the Gold Bond Stamps. My Grandmother had alot of Green Stamps when she passes. Found them in the drawer. My Mom said she saved them alot and got things. But we could not use them since those were no longer.
My husband's wedding ring was courtesy of S&H Green Stamps! I saved up 29 books of stamps to get it in 1971 (we married in 1970). He still wears that silver ring today and it looks as good as it did in 1971!
I'm a good decade older than Rick, yet those kinds of stamps were even before MY time. My mom certainly never told me about them or recalled participating in that program, though she probably did. My parents were married in 1966 so they would've been old enough to collect those stamps and redeem them for items. I wonder how many items around the house were from collecting stamps. I wish my parents were still alive so I could ask them.
