I recently met an elderly gentleman at an antique mall that saw I was interested in swung glass vases and he invited my husband and I to stop over to his property to see if we would be interested in some of his glass treasures. He had about 6 large barns and countless smaller sheds just overflowing with all kinds of stuff. Incredible furniture pieces and glass and even an old jeep, cycle, antique cream separator and coffee grinders. I ended up buying a beautiful light blue opalescent Jefferson Glass Co swung glass vase from about 1908. If I had more cash on me I could have spent it all. I could have dug thru his treasures for days!
Omg!! That art at 2:22 with the woman at the beach with all the activity going on behind her was INCREDIBLE. I LOVE that piece. (And I'm bummed that it will never be mine, lol.)
Because it was cheaply made and cold painted, the paint chips easily. Thus, the popular name of this glass with unavoidable imperfections became Goofus Glass.
How great that shed was wow!I can spend days in there! You needed a ladder! To see from the top downwards I’m sure there were even more treasures you never found that were buried! 🥰
That shed is full!!!! Still on the hunt for a big coockiejar, loved the canisters. I have those Tupperwarecups, I love them. Beautyfull frames. I m still on the hunt for a bigger oval one too. I love my bunnyfigurenes, keep them ou the whole year around. A stunning pond and the poodle is so sweet.
That's what makes it so fun digging and being surprised. I used to go with group to clean up trash and one time we were cleaning out a dirt pile and I found several old toy cars. Fun I love your quirky comments!!
What a treasure hunt that shed was. I almost want to take everything out and match it up: plates on one storage unit, tumblers on another, salt and peppers on another etc. I'm sure I'd give up after a while tho, that was a lot! ^_^
I have that same recipe box in my kitchen drawer. Got it in Junior High School 1958. FYI Oh and I love the carnival glass dish I bought from you in live sale!!!
Haha. I've been going out to his house for a while. I'm going back. I pulled out some really cool stuff. I got the poodle and he cleaned up so cute. But now I know where the ghost went. There was a Rushton santa when I was there upstairs
I don't usually comment on your posts but this had my head spinning 🤣 I could spend all day and then some sorting through it. I saw so many goodies . I don't mind mice or wasps but the spiders er no thanks.
Barb, the screen print is fabulous. It was painted in the 80's but is reminiscent of mid-century.. the stroller and bathing suit, etc. Clean it up, new matting will be awesome. I carry a small tape measure in my purse!
If I were you two I think I would go back and dig deeper into those piles in that shed. While there were a lot of damaged things in there, I am sure there were a lot of hidden treasures that you were not able to see. I have that same three sided Santa jar and I am pretty sure yours is a marriage. Although that holly lid did not look terrible on there, the actual lid is a Santa hat that is musical and plays Jingle Bells. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
When you said "looks like a pic-nice gone wrong" ..I lost it. you are so funny. Wow I saw so many things I wanted. I think you should go back. There is alot more things in there you could sell.
Goofus glass was given away at carnivals as premiums. It was made between 1890-1920 or so. It was cold painted and chips easily thus it was called Goofus glass for its imperfections.
I am in love with the pink biscuit jar. I've been watching you for about a year but don't normally comment. Saw you with Scott and really liked the channel when I checked you out.
This is a really cool video that is the motherload of hoarder hoardiness lol. I totally understand how you guys would be so overwhelmed. I would probably be in the fetal position in the corner rocking back and forth
On one of Prime Time Treasure Hunter’s thrift challenge, Farm Girl Scavenger, said all Tupperware has a life time guarantee. So if you find it, you can send it to them and they will send you a replacement or close to it.
Used to be free turn in, now you have to pay for shipping. You would give your damaged piece to the rep and get your replacement piece from the rep. Now you still give the item to the rep to turn in but you have to pay shipping on the items to come to you.
You did good on the tupperwear glasses. I would of grabbed the Tupperwear canister like containers also. They all bring in good money. Boy...was that shed PACKED or what. Had to be a hoarder!! I am like Barb though, scared of mice and creepy crawly things. LOL!!!
Jeffrey, I’m shocked. Simply shocked you didn’t buy more from that shed!! And you had the place all to yourself! Soooo many fun treasures. I would have lost my mind!! Lol!
their tomatoes because it's a juice Glass and people used to drink tomato juice. the first time I saw juice glasses with little red blobs on them I thought they were cherries, but then realized they were tomatoes. Also, this has the spiky leaf parts at the top.
I love the oven colony wear!! I would want that, cuz you can cook something in the oven with it and serve it in the same Bowl. It's really a nice piece and I like the Goofus glass. How fun! Behind the lithograph or block print was the antique Bubble Glass picture, does that sell for you guys at all?
At 13:28 the word I think you were searching for is milk glass. I inherited a lot of it from my mom, whose sisters hit every antique mall they could find in every state and would send a piece to my mom every Christmas. I think milk glass is very pretty.
my joe is a carpenter and he knows the measurements of hands ..so when he needs to measure something and he does not have a measuring tape he knows the measurement of his hand so he can measure stuff
