I Bought An Abandon ANTIQUE Storage Unit.. Paid on for 19 Years!! 

J

What was in the lock box!

There was an antique match safe I saw in one of the boxes with some men’s items. It’s probably sterling and you should check it out. Worth at least 50 bucks

I am happy that your mom raised you with such terrific morals and values. You wanting to give the family back their personal items is so touching. Wish there were more young men like you in this world! Good job mom on raising your son & great job with the camera, too!

I thought same ! He’s devaluing items by the way he handles them ! He’s just money hungry not clever and doesn’t realise the value of items he has !

My thoughts are, if he’s pressed for time, pack the truck and unpack later when you have the time to unpack everything gently and repack carefully for redistribution. Definitely rummaging isn’t good especially when you can hear the glass clanking!

He was killing me, he's like a bull in a China shop. Glad his mother was there to reign him in a little. Hated how he kept on her ass about the camera operation.

This is an odd show. Can’t see much!

How much for the piano and base guitar music boxes?

The meatal with red ribbon is a metal of honor from World War 2.

I so agree:)

I agree with you.

You are so right. One guy is especially vulgar. I think that balarina thing is pretty old. I had one as a child and I'm 75. You know with the wind-up key.

Maybe their kids didn't know that it was in storage?

surely they had brothers and sisters tho that might want that stuff for a family tree. i still say go on ancestry.com to find out if someone is looking for the name

And what if they weren't good parents? Honor and respect are EARNED, not automatically given. There are a lot of abusive and neglectful parents, some of them even murder their kids. Those people don't deserve respect.

I agree...quit hassling Mom. She does a great job. She said she felt unsure of herself...but that"s only because he's grumbling...haha

Wow

Where did you do your searching? I also have items that belong to other people and would love to reconnect them with their family?

You do a good thing there! That was nice to read! Stay safe

They probably didn’t have children. So sad hope you find a brother or sister 🙏

i get it. things are just things & hoarding is a problem. most people just put the things away in boxes & never look at them anyway; like this lady with the storage unit. but i would say, mom lets try to give these things to charity so other people can make use of them. & keep a few things that have a special meaning for you & display them.

I am sorry to hear that, we need to appreciate our parents stuff because they work hard for it. Now day's society don't care about those sentimental stuff. We just have become too greedy on wanting the biggest house full of new furniture. When you can appreciate your mother dinning table❤ I love old furniture❤

You are so right. When my mother died she left a house full of "Things" to be split between my brother, sister and myself. We actually had quite a good time going through it all and sorting it out and remembering stories from our childhood. I kept a set of dining crockery that was my mothers pride and joy and now, even 30 years later I think of my parents with happiness when i eat from it.

@@eloisaferruzola3680 i agree when i started to do my family tree i found i missed out on the lives of uncles i never got to kno. theold pics were ways of getting to know them. im still searching

Thanks Sandy 🙏🙏

What was the date on the newspaper?

My parents had that exact one.

Kelly Lynne pppp

I know.What a nice guy!!

ACTUALLY Kelly Lynne, I've seen tight mother/son relationships go the other way also. Where the mom is controlling. Luckily this mom seems to a sweet, funny mom. I raised my grandsons to adulthood with manners, God, respect, humor, and to treat ladies like queens. They knew I would mama bear ANYONE that came against them or even threatened them but they thought I was hilarious, still do..

ya like a momma's boi, eh?

yea my thought too

The ones in this locker were Spies!

I have three boxes of tubes. Anyone interested?

Would. Like. To. Purchase. Bibles. The. Older. The. Better.

You can never get the money you think your going to get.

@@m.t.426, true in many cases. Actually most of the time. But with vintage stuff like electronics tubes that are specific to an application, with patience waiting for the right person to come along needing one, you can really do quite well. I have a very good friend that has accumulated a very large inventory of vintage parts and pieces like this by dismantling broken vintage equipment and the numbers he gets for most of what he sells is quite a compelling argument to his wife to come along for the ride on weekends to go hunting for broken or worn down vintage equipment of all kinds from sewing machines and victrola’s, to old letter press or machine shop equipment. He really does rake in a very impressive retirement income that is completely attributed to selling vintage parts. These tubes are an extremely popular item that draws the high end of the profit map, ESPECIALLY if they are the specific type that music amplifiers are spec’d to use. For those amp building folks creating or modifying a tube driven unit, they will pay a small fortune for true vintage tubes to get the absolute perfect tone from that amplifier!!! If you have ever listened to the difference between a Hammond B3 playing through a vintage Leslie amplifier using either new style or vintage tubes, you would well appreciate why they spend that small fortune. Awesome sound with a noticeable difference in warmth in the tone. 👍🏻😎👍🏻 Wow, lol. Went off on a bit of a rant there for a moment, lol!! 🤣🤣

​@@Far2hipI love that kind of info, especially from someone who is passionate as well as knowledgeable.

No need to be rich, those Singer sewing machines are a dime a dozen, $40 would get you one in a heartbeat! Heck, maybe even 2!!

Judy Kay Deal sewing machine is hard to sell.

My Dad was one of those guys! Had the same Sylvania box!

The tube tester needs to stay with the HAM radio equipment bet most of it is vacuum tubes

@@debrabates4630 I have one of those old boxes right now that a guy was going to toss out.

You have a very good ham Radieo worth a lot of money to the right person. With it you could talk to anyone any where around the world.

Short wave radios. Vintage early transistor. My Dad was an early TV repairman...had the Sylvania bifold top tube library and the tube testers and a pile of manuals for all the early televisions. People would call him from many counties in Eastern Oregon to come fix their 📺 when it would blow a tube. Good memories! Prayin 4 your Moms recovery!

If any need to be sharpened or if the tips have broken off or bent their warranty is still 100% solid gold! Super easy to do! I love my Cutco's!

In the late 50s, my Dad sold Cutco Cutlery while he was recovering from a surgery . I swear he must have sold sets of cutlery to all of his brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. The set is worth a mint. In 1958/59, they ere costly.

I know this video is years old but I have Cusco knee too. You can send them back for repair, replacement or sharpening still to this day. I love mine and nearly jumped out of my chair when he found that whole set! Then the sharpener. There were so many family memories here. 😢

Its unusual that people this age did not connect the word HAM+equipment to the the HAM RADIO NETWORK OF OPERATORS AROUND THE WORLD!

The wall phone is a replicate but can be connected to the phone system

Id give anything own one ..

The Ham radio equipment and other electronics are GREAT. You got some $$$ there! Congrats!

I agree

The Dictaphone is beautiful! Looks like a pre 1941 Webster Chicago model reel to reel. museumofmagneticsoundrecording.org/ManufacturersWebsterChicago.html

Some people don’t have families; not everyone has children.

i agree on all you have said

they paid storage for 19 years

Tracy I Agree! Great personalities! Continue being yourselves! Wow and Guys Are Fine! 😁 I'm from way back in the Country of Tupelo Mississippi 😁 So My Words Would Ya'll and Yeee hawww!!! 😁 Be yourselves, love your videos

Ya, you be you, Boo! Our personalities are what gives us true fans!

The Corporal stripes were framed. In one of the first boxes inside of something were his Sergeant stripes. Was probably stationed in Japan

Good idea maybe you can find a paperwork from when he was in the military and a picture of him

Must be his first storage purchase...lol....he needs to learn his vintage

You really need to take the advise of having an American Legion expose all the military stuff.

@Jeff Dean... It's spelled Corporal. I am a Military Brat. My dad was in the Air Force.

And Army Air Corps.

The mens hat , 50th wedding anniversary album , and the tobacco . You can almost see someone packing up a male loved ones things when he passed . Sad that no one in the family wanted these personal items . . 😔

P.S. . . Can't you just see the old man in his hat , puffing on a pipe , up late at night on his ham radio ? ? . . 🌌

Good. Moring. 🦄

Back. Up. System. 4. Something. 🌟

White. Purse. White. Beads. 💝

my dad was a ham operator talked to people all over when they found out he had a daughter they sent me dolls from all over.

My daughter is the old woman was probably a music teacher or a teacher of some sort and then the old man was probably an opera radio operator in the service and just carried over into his adult head is like you and just see these people living out day by day with every box

I hate auto

I meant to say just the older lady

I'm right there with you Turbonanny. I told Wade what it was but I guess he didn't hear me. lol GRAM in TX.

Yup, 😃 ( 'glad to find this comment ) I was about to type "DICTAPHONE" as well but wanna find out from the comment section if someone's beat me into saying( typing) it. 😅 We happened to be Agatha Christie die hards and I have recognized that machine the minute our host opened the box. ( case ).... and VOILA! "The Death of Roger Arkroyd" 😂 sprung into my mind ( one of the Poirot episodes)... ...when I read "Memory Recorder" on the back of the case's lid, i got excited and wanted to comment so bad... hahaha!!! Don't feel bad... you're still young at heart and you rock! 🙌🙌🙌

Linda Glory 😉

Little help, Wire? or Metal Tape?

Lol, ditto!!! But we're not old-we're just wise!!!😁👍😁

It's not his job to try and find anyone related to the last owner! It's also not the job of the storage owner to look for them either. I knew everything about my mother and father's life. Blame the families who should have known she had all that stuff in storage in the first place...stop judging other when you have no idea what you're talking about!!!

@@denisekidder2261 Amen to that. One thing us storage auction buyers do is avoid former owners for a variety of reasons.

I do know that because I buy them here in Florida. Only I raise money for charity. I still put up with all them questions you do.

@@denisekidder2261 Yeah. Ive heard all of that too. I had to chime in. lol

It's so true. I found an old Bible with an address & name. It was a small town in Idaho, but I found one of the man's great grandson. He was so happy he cried because there were little notes in it & even a note saying he was praying for his great grandson cuz he was born to early. Priceless. When my dad died his wife didn't contact me at all. I didn't want any monet, just one personal item he wore. It's the sentimental value that so important & although so many ppl don't care about family. Some still do. It's a sacred thing so many folks don't value anymore. And it breaks my heart💔 bless u for respecting yr mom..my mom was my best friend and I know she prays for me... I miss her so much

He probably made the leather belt.

If I remember right, the item you are referring to is used with tracing paper for marking out patterns on fabrics for stitching, such as darts, pleats or whatever.

When he’s opening jewelry or small things it would be nice to zoom in so we can tell what it is
