I absolutely love that the painting is directly on the cardboard. It perfectly reflects what times were like back then and is a testiment to making do, which was what most had to do during those times. To take an ugly piece of cardboard and turn it into something so lovely is such a talent. Our desire for the beautiful is never limited by something as mundane as poverty. Wonderful find!
The McCoy vase is to die for. As for the coffee pot , if you could find coffee in bags . Like tea bags except larger, l know restaurants have coffee bags. Or maybe cheese cloth or something like that. So many lovely things from the past. Thank you for the show. 😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄
Thank you for highlighting my comment. So much fun stuff on the window sill. Hope you are fine. When is your roof going to be done? If l can snoop. Well have a good day. 🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏😜🍄🌏
If you go back to that thrift shop for the scotty dog ashtray - PLEASE see if the little salt shaker dog in the beret is still there! He has a fan club here. Your little decorator plate had the Inn's sign cut off. I think it said "Four Ways Inn - No Way Out"
The beautiful watercolor on cardboard in the original frame is absolutely grand. I so much enjoy looking at artworks as a pass time. At the university back in the early 80s I was such an aloof dreamer and on several early Sunday mornings I would ride my bike into the city and play out my imaginary version of Breakfast At Tiffany's. I'd have on a sport coat w/slacks and shirt undone a few buttons w/loose tie hanging around my neck and shiny slippers. I brown bagged a Danish or donut and my own large plastic cup of Swiss Mocha coffee. I parked my bike then walked the sidewalks touring shop and art/antique gallery windows while slowly munching my breakfast. Streets and sidewalks were basically empty. I just wandered and daydreamed for an hour or so. I was truly alone on my own for the first time. The 2 years prior were spent at a private southern Christian college where I studied religion for my ordination. I had many friends there like a family. I combined Christianity and Judaism and my inclusion of Judaism caused me to be rejected from ordination. At that time I switched to Psychology and English but went on to become a clerk in a private accounting house and retired nearly 3 years ago working as an investor. But art appreciation and even doing some art is a meaningful part of my life. ...Very nice video, Scott. I'm playing catch up on the videos I missed while away. Your channel is by far my favorite and I look forward to your wonderful posts. ...Blessings be on you and yours and everyone.
Curtis it sounds as if you have lived an interesting life so far! i have a clear mental picture of you in your stylish outfit biking through the city on a "quite" Sunday morning. Your bank of memories must overflow. All the best to you.
@@oldcuriosityshop265 You, my fine fellow, are an inspiration to stir my memories. I never expected what a bonus your channel brings beyond the entertaining informative content you diligently construct and offer us. I can imagine your life being genuinely good and complete and rich with family experiences plus your life's adventures filled with curiosity and satisfaction. ...I think we're both a little lucky and much blessed. I wish you the best always.
That green spiral depression glass was Hocking as well as made by Imperial called ‘twisted optic’. There is something about maybe clockwise-counter clockwise in identification. I am rusty with details. I’ll trust you’ll make the case. What a Saturday bonanza. I bet you’ll be there waiting for the doors to open next time. I cut my teeth on Antique bottles and depression glass. They called it junk. I called it affordable at 25 and 50 cents a piece. I was 16 with a very limited budget. I also found salt & peppers for a nickel and a dime. Just call me cheap. Great haul!
Hi Scott - Love the watercolour painting and all the depression glass. Love the black vase you have your snake plant in, it’s so stylish! Great finds. Enjoy your videos🤗
Yes I too love city sounds, I think they are comforting! Loved everything you had but my favorite has to be that pink eapg style glass! Great video Scott! Oh and the fern in that cookie jar looks great!
Loved the plant in the black and gold pot..wow..stylish.I like the fern in the cookie jar.Didn't know the Pilgrims had to wait in Princetown before they landed in Plymouth.So interesting.
The fern looks great in the yellow, very becoming & shows it off well. That was a very clever repurpose. The snake plant, what we called mother-in-law's tongue, & my mom & grandma & aunts all had when I was a kid, looks absolutely stunning in black! Good eye Scott. 😊
I've never seen so many different pieces together of the Kitchen Prayer set. Lovely yellow trinket box! I have a lot of respect for anyone who can paint well in watercolor, especially as nicely painted as yours is. It's hard to do! (Your plants look great in those pots
“I can be Mrs. Kravitz”…🤣 you always make me laugh!!! I enjoyed the haul Scott. The glass looked stunning on the sill with that natural light coming in 👌🏻. Love that the painting was done right on the cardboard 😉. Hope you’re enjoying your evening!! 😊
Your area is so full of absolute treasures. I'm in the Capital of NY and our thrift stores are terrible for collectors. Great for vintage clothing, shoes and bags, no good glassware at all. Oh well. I can always shop along with you!
Great haul of depression glass. Elegant depression glass is my favorite. I have a collection of blue, green and amber. I also have the book! I love a lot of what you collect as well.
Do you have a workshop in your building? Always interesting to see how city dwellers use space. Thanks for the city view! Love seeing places on a day to day basis. And now I want to decorate in a 30’s vibe, love the soft colors and fine design. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us?
That was so good. I love love love any sort of coloured glass old or new! I also love your shows and seeing your city and travels to New Jersey. I’m in Australia so there is no chance of travel to see these place 1st hand. Kind regards to you Scott.
That Boston fern is perfect in that 'pot'!---I'm still holding out for you to find some Roulette pattern green depression dishes to add to my collection!
6:50 My grandmother had a set of these (probably eight), and I have the last remaining one from her set. I didn't know the name of the pattern, so thanks for mentioning that.
I think the glass is green on top because of the background colour! I have a little pink depression glass exactly like the one in the painting! PS love the info!
I always have so much bubble wrap, you've given me a nifty tip on how to use even a bit of it!---And I've forgotten it's other name of snake plant! I perpetually call it Mother-in-law's tongue!
The McCoy vase is blossom-time pattern, Circa 1947. I was looking for a replacement planter in that pattern when I bought my first piece of early American pattern glass in the mid- 1980s and the rest is history when it comes to glassware.
Hi Scott. The amber candleholders have an etching called La Furiste. It was done by glastonbury/Lotus. They bought blanks from other companies and decorated them.
Love this haul! That watercolor I love! Love the amber candle holders as well! There is not anything you displayed that I did not like. I would love to take a few days and come up there and shop. Where I live in NC, I can never find anything. We have junk stores here! I do not know what the deal is but I can never find anything I would spend money on around here! Dismayed in NC!
Hi Scott I would like to see you in a thrift store, but i'm on the other side of the country. I love ferns but they don't do very well here too dry. I like the yellow trinket dish. The painting looks great.
super cool watercolor painting! (In the Provincetown pic 1985, I think Scott was making an MTV beach scene video...lip synching to "Don't You (Forget About Me)".)
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Yikes. I'm not SURE. I do have a lot of clear Fostoria American I was handed after my aunt died: *Here Leesa, take this.* I thought the pink looked more of a 80's pink. Please don't take my word for it. Enjoy you videos.
@@llmifg Thanks Leesa. I'm always trying to learn so that I can be more accurate when I buy and sell. I was just wondering what your specific thoughts were on the glass. I'm working on a follow up video I hope to have out soon. Thanks so much for watching.
Judy Buffington.....This is the first time I watched your show because i saw that it was about depression glass. And I am from NE Philly and knew exactly where you were. I save green depression glass and have quite a bit of it. I also am hooked on going to Goodwills and thrift stores. I bought so much stuff that my daughter and I are going to the Lambertville Flea Market to sell some things (hopefully) next month. I also have a book, copywrited in 1998 by Gene Florence called Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass. It even has prices in it. You're welcome to borrow it. I really am excited to find you.
@@oldcuriosityshop265 I sure will say hello if I see you. I love that you show sections of the city. By the way, I also have a cup and saucer collection from my grandmother. Mostly all of them were made in England. 2nd St. Thruft Shop in Franklin Mills has loads of stuff and better prices than Goodwills.
The fern and snake plant look very nice in those containers. I hope you keep the watercolor especially since it has a depression glass in it that reflects your personal interests. When will you ever see that again? Your other pieces a great finds too. 👍💕
Watercolor is so lovely. Looking at it again here and sorry to disagree, but I would say it's painted on artboard, paper glued to board, not just any old cardboard, because cardboard would dissolve with water. Those gorgeous colors wouldn't be possible. I would bet the NY & Co on the back is art supply shop. Artboard comes in large sheets that is cut to suit project.
Hi Carol. As amazing as it might seem, it really is painted on the cardboard. I examined it very closely when I took it apart for cleaning and there is nothing attached or glued to the old cardboard box. Remember, this a quality 90 year old cardboard box which is nothing at all like today's cardboard products.
@@carolrunion6200 Yes, I don't think the same results would be achieved if modern (course pulp) cheap modern cardboard was painted upon. The old cardboard has a shiny, slick almost oaktag like surface that I only see on boxes made before the war. The surface doesn't seem to be as course or absorbent as modern cardboard.
Hi Patty....I'm certain the pink is not Jannette cube and I'll talk about that in a vid soon. I'm LOVING the additions you and Mark made to my collections.
What kind of wax do you use on the frame and furniture?? I need to know, I have a lot of old wood. That watercolor is stunning!!! The pink bowls are Jeanette cube. I have a ton of Fostoria American. Great video, thanks from Texas!
PLEASE take the painting off the window ledge - the sun (especially reflecting on the glass) can damage the painting!! The 2 pink bowls are Fostoria American - they’re similar to Jeanette Cube/Cubist, but it’s thicker and heavier - more substantial. I had a gathered a set of pink Cubist, and added in the Fostoria American because it works well together. The 1980s pieces didn’t include this shape as far as I remember, and the 1980s pieces were kind of clunky.
Thank you Dell but relax, it’s only there for the video😀. Thanks for the American info. I’m very familiar with the difference between Jeanette cube and Fostoria American but I am not As familiar with the differences between the old Fostoria American and the newer Indiana Whitehall pieces. The quality of the Fostoria really sets itself apart from the Jeanette don’t you think?
I know right?? Like I said is he NEW? In more ways than one!!! And then he try's to cover his bases by editing his comment and adding his twist on the glassware, as if to educate a seasoned antique dealer like Scott. NOT gonna happen Del!!!! Scott has you beat by miles!! LMAOROF!!
@@pamavery9352 We are like mama bears protecting Scott like he’s our cub. He will even add a correction to the screen if he has misspoke. Scott doesn’t often make mistakes 😊
Great score. Hv ? Wat era u wish u grow up in. Mine 30/40t’s loved the music, big bands too, but take out the war. But I was 60/70t’s good times, carefree. Not like now..
If we see you smile with grits from the coffee grounds....we'll know that your adaptation of filtering didn't come out well! Please let us know what kind of critter came out of the rabbit's plant pot. Today, at our local Habitat Restore, found cobalt capstone for fence tops. They were priced at $5 each. Have you ever heard of cobalt glass used that way?
Well I don't know.....I've handled quite a bit of both and the Jannette is lighter in weight and a bit "rough around the edges." This glass is thicker, heavier and it's been fire polished.....super smooth to the touch. 😉
I’m gonna dig a little deeper and find out! 😆. I totally agree I’ve never seen that shape before. This is fun! So let’s cross off Jannette and now we have to figure out if it’s Fostoria or Indians Whitehall. I can tell you for sure that it has been fire polished which leads me towards Fostoria because Indiana did not fire polish the Whitehall glass. Also the quality and clarity of the glass seems to be higher grade than Indiana and much more like Fostoria. Good grief am I spending too much time fussing over this? Ha ha ha!
