Found you from the Crazy Lamp Lady chanel when you were helping her identify the morano glass piece, and I'm addicted now . I really love your videos . Thank you so much
Think scientists have debunked the old glass windows changing over time thing. Love what your doing keep up the good work. Hope to see you in New Hampshire we have a lot of cool stuff up here. 😃
George, you are a delight, truly, you have made me want to come to the USA with your lovely tours and information you give xxxxx we are lucky we have you with all your knowledge of antiques, which I am an avid collector of xxx
Thank you, Jacqui! I really enjoy showing the wonderful old things and places that still exist here, it's such an antidote to the strip mall/chain store world. Where are you?
The Antique Nomad it is through antiques and vintage items that I found an interest in-history. There’s more of a connection to hold interest. If only teachers used those items to teach.
George!!! .... can we call you as " Living Google " . Your knowledge about vintage n antique items are simply AWESOME. Really enjoyed n learned THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your lovely video. With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
I didn't get to make it to the Live last night. As I was watching this tonight, I realize that Misty (thrifter, junker, vintage hunter) has a video from this town as well. They had a family day & visited some of these same shops.
George, what a wonderful video of beautiful little town! I live in Indiana but must admit, I’ve never been to New Harmony. My sister would visit there ever so often and she just loved the history, the architecture and just the feeling it gave her to be there! Now, I must go!! Thank you for showing us around and of course, sharing all that amazing knowledge of yours. 😊
You're so welcome! I'm excited that people are enjoying coming on my adventures with me and that I can show living history rather than boring recitation of facts
Hello Professor /Uncle George! Just finished watching you over on Real Nifty Vintage, Misty and Crazy Lamp Lady vlogs - where you all recently met up for a few days ! Really fun! This vlog I viewed today - you did a really nice job introducing us to the quaint and historic town of New Harmony Indiana - and once the world rights itself and we can travel again - will gladly come to visit! The Kenner’s new Spirograph - brings memories for sure! Cheers! Ontario 🇨🇦
Thank you! I hope things straighten out so our Canadian friends can come back here and vice-versa, I miss going up to Vancouver for the flea markets and I really enjoy so many places up there.
I enjoyed the trip to New Harmony. My favorite was, of course, the Art Deco glass lamp with the original shade. Thank you for taking up along on your trip.
Hi Scott! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, all things deco make me think of you. I'm always pleased when you get to come along. Enjoyed your sconce restoration video recently
I’ve yet to have the pleasure of meeting George in person. Perhaps we can convince him to head north for a tour of the City of Brotherly Love! Hint, hint George!
George, what an amazing career who have made for yourself! It must be wonderful to visit all the small towns, that time forgot. They are each charming in their own way, and with you as our tour guide, you bring them to life. I love how you tell the stories of things and you are just yourself. You don't try too hard to be funny or entertaining, or interesting. You just are! The videos are just the right length, definitely do not want them any shorter!
Many thanks! I think the 30 minute length is just enough to tell the story. It was a fair bit of work to put this life together but I love leading it! I'm really glad you enjoy coming along with me
thank you for showing the town's beautiful buildings, I purchased a coco Joe's lava ashtray a few days before this video aired. of course I watched one of your videos earlier that day to get a vintage vibe before shopping. thanks again.
You are a gift to this community. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Also, hoping to get a reply before this channel gets so big that you won’t be able to reply.
My pleasure! I hope I don't get too big for that, but I admit there's a lot of people talking now. I really enjoy sharing with you all and please keep watching...and commenting...and I'll do my best to keep in touch!
I hate that I missed it live. 😢 In with the doll furniture was an Avon perfume bottle of Mesmerize. Weird, I never considered the bottles I was selling as collectibles. I guess it was the 90’s, so it fits!
Super-great tour!!! Seriously loved the cobalt Bristol vase!!! That was one beautiful piece of glass!!! The Goofus powder jar was a nice one. I had a couple of those, but sold them - I did keep the cameo/Gibson girl one, though😊 The corbels grabbed my attention. I like those as decor items. Liked the framed ceiling tin tile, too. The Japanese block prints, '64 T-bird and KFC Kandies tin would've likely came home with me😏 That Victorian music stand was beautiful. So many really nice and interesting items there! Thanks for showing us about!!! Always look forward to your premiers!!!
You have a very studied eye! You caught every good true antique in those shops. I agree about the Bristol, that was a great color and shape...also the music stand...anyhow, I'm appreciative of your presence on premiere nights!
Love your videos and am learning so much! For me however, a huge part of why I venture out to the wild is to step back in time, so it matters to me how I feel while in each individual booth. Like on my channel, there’s this Victorian “bedroom” booth where I lose myself! I honestly wish they would turn down the overhead music and allow each booth creator to set up a small, quietly playing loop of music to really allow me to immerse myself in their tiny museum!!!
Good point! I always wanted to control the vibe in my booth too, but I guess you have to have your own shop for that. I'm glad you're getting something out of the videos and look forward to seeing you here again soon!
At 16:01, while you're talking about the beautiful opera house building (Thrall's Opera) they have there in New Harmony, IN, a sweet little cobalt blue vintage convertible with a white stripe on the side rolled by. Beautiful little car it was.
I look at the antique and vintage fencing and would think, it’s so short what are they trying to keep in or out. At 5’8” as a female in the mid 70’s, I was considered tall, model height. And, then I remembered that average height for a female was 5’2”-5’3” at turn of the century. To someone 5’2” that fence was a perfect height and didn’t seem child height.
What a nice little town. Loved the green lamp. What a score! Murray. I was able to join. I hired the mother of one of the Credence Clearwater group in a Calif office I managed. Small world. 🎶🎶
That is awesome! Thank you so much for the support. I liked the lamp too. I also always liked CCR but your brush with greatness was an interesting story! I met the mom of one of the Seattle band members once, it explained a lot lol
Thanks so much for your beautiful video of our Main Street town and Firehouse Antiques! Hopefully next time I’ll be in and we can have lunch! Plz keep the second weekend in June 2021 open, we would love to have you do a mini roadshow appraisal booth since it didn’t happen this year.
Hi George! I can't remember which video you did where you show the little Pixie Pottery piece. I have a planter listed with what looks to be an original Pixie Pottery pixie, but can't find out too much about them! Any help where to look would be appreciated! Thank you, George!
I do enjoy your videos and have learned so much, at my age it is hard to remember all the important suggestions. Ah well, will just keep watching. Was special to watch the recent trip with the four or five others. In this particular video there was a slight wind blowing and your long side bangs were blowing straight up into the air. I mentioning this because I truly believe you might consider cutting those side bangs off because you have a nice shaped forehead/head. With the hair off your forehead you appear younger and more professional. I noticed also that in your introduction, smiles are interjected in odd places. Your eyes are always smiling when you speak so maybe you don't need to throw in those extra smiles,.almost like you are faking them. I have watched many of your videos and find that you are very knowledgeable, offer help to those looking at your exhibits and I want you to know I am not criticizing, only constructive suggestions to raise your intros above the norm. God Bless. Good hunting and good selling. Diana
Thank you Diane! I'm really enjoying bringing these to you. My hair is a distraction and I'm never sure what to do with it but it's time for a cut indeed. I did film the intro a long time ago and I hope to revise at some point now that I feel less awkward in front of the camera
George, I bought a new spirograph and it is hard! Also I wanted to ask you if you saw the maze made out of bushes in new Harmony. I think it is by a church. But it is really fun, it doesn’t go up real high So you can see all the way across if someone else is in it. It’s pretty big. I love Cindys store and the other one you went in is a lot of fun! Hoping to make it up there soon. I live in Evansville.
Cindy and Jeff are fun people with a great shop! I plan to do an appraisal fair there next June. I plan to also film more and perhaps I'll get to the labyrinth, which was really neat looking
I wish that one day in future I could find the 50's Bitossi horse by Aldo Londi. But until it happens (if ever) I would be happy if I could find even this blue Napco horse :) The tour around the town was nice, I really like the atmosphere of the old towns and the beautiful historic buildings. Interesting episode again, thank you George and have a nice weekend.
Good for you! My friend Walter became an antique dealer a few years ago and is now 81, you can have fun with this life-long. Moss Rose has to be in great shape, it doesn't sell like it used to but pieces that are unusual and in good condition still command decent money. It's a great old pattern but usually heavily worn
Thank you for the tour and info on New Harmony, always nice to learn about places I will never get to. Those shops had some really interesting things .
We were just talking about that when I was on the Real Nifty Vintage live last weekend. The combination of kitsch and style seem to be attracting collectors, I have friends who have an entire gallery wall in their house devoted to them!
These two New Harmony videos might be my most favorite videos of all time. It's wonderful to see this unique small town and antiques and collectibles all at the same time. Thank you.
They rented people's property for them so when the interstates rendered them less effective, they gave them up and the property owners threw a lot of them away
Hi, Barbara! I'm selling on eBay and at shows and sales, and in my storehouse. Jeffrey is as well (I'm George). Jeffrey told me he quit doing ETSY but I'm pretty sure he's still on ebay.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm sorry George. I watch your channel too. I would love to get to your shop in KY sometime. I went to your eBay store but mostly only saw sports stuff on it. Do you have more than one store? I also am a reseller. EBay is ticking me off with all their fees, which is why I'm not on Etsy anymore. Looking at Rubylane and doing more on FB marketplace. Cheers!
I understand! There are ways to sell around them but they are the big dog so I go there when I need a big audience. I don't have another store, I only list a few items other than sportscards and books on eBay but am intending to expand
At 5:48, I became incurably sad because I REALLY wanted that dog figurine. Those aren't easy to find. (And I would've bought the two adorable little lambs right behind the dog.) And I loved that Fillmore West poster with the unique cat image & one of my most favorite musical artists of all time, Boz Scaggs. Wow.
I really like the Filmore West stuff! I'll see whether by any chance that dog is still there when I go back to do appraisal fair in New Harmony June 11-12
I loved those old homes, I adore anything Victorian also. Hey, George, I'm new to your channel, Thank you for everything you do for us. I would love to follow you around for about a month, I think that would be amazing. I have a question about a couple of things I hope you can answer my question. Salt cellars and Tea strainers do you think they're going up in price? Thank you.
Welcome! Thank you for watching and please like, subscribe and tell your friends. Salt cellars seem to be more popular now than for awhile, I think because they're small and because people are using Himalayan and other specialty salts more. Tea strainers I suspect are not as popular now, at least based on teapots, which aren't collected like they used to be
Great show. I loved so many of the crocs. They looked like they were in such good shape. Could we shop a little for Bakelite sometime? I would enjoy that. Thanks again.
I live close by and I've been go into to New Harmony my entire life. A best friend moved there and lived there for 15 years so I really got to know New Harmony. It's a fascinating place with a very eclectic mix of residents and part time residents from all walks of life. It's said that the "veil is thin" around New Harmony so there is this kind of supernatural vibe. Many haunted homes. The Roofless Church designed by world renowned architect Phillip Johnson is amazing, many unusual things to see and do, the labrinth walk, Carol's Garden is a beautiful place her mother (an Owen, I met her in the 80's) built in her daughter's memory. Anyone can rent a golf cart for the day. Thanks so much for showing everyone the great mystical town of New Harmony! Side Note - we were having a girls weekend at my friends house, I woke up around 3am to use the bathroom and I heard low murmuring, then singing, chanting. I listened through the open window for awhile the just went back to bed. The next morning my friend told us it was the witches doing their full moon rituals across the way. Gotta love New Harmony!
It's a very surpising place and even more so from your description than I imagined! Once a spot attracts a certain vibe and type of thinking, it seems like that remains. I'm excited to return
There's a lot here! We made a lot of cool stuff back in the day, and Europe/Asia supplied us with a lot more so it's a nice blend of things to show now. Where are you?
She picked it up in my booth at the Springfield Antique Show and it was in fact the same one! It was so much fun having them come and look, she didn't get the pirate plate but she did get my book and a cool piece of Treasure Craft from me. Barb is very sweet in person!
i just got so excited, and i don't know what i'm even looking at! Lol i saw a porcelien borzoi dog early on, and now i see, what looks like, another borzoi at 12:37. (just left of the cow with bakelite horns) i can't read the tag. is the borzoi on a hat pin? ::gasp:: 😍🤞 i love borzois. i collect them, and i'm very curious to know what is.
