This 90 YEAR OLD LOCKER was FREE - And it's UNTOUCHED! 

This entire locker is such a valuable beautiful time capsule of a man's lifetime works. It's priceless.

All those newspapers and pics you throw away are desired by junk journal enthusiasts. Usually 10 pieces of whatever can run $15-20. The slides are also desirable. They usually sell 30 slides for about $15. Well worth trying to sell on Market place. You will have people wanting to buy.

I wish more care and respect were used in the handling of this locker.

Universities buy old books if they become part of the Studies course for reference, i work in Acquisitions in AUT, so it would not hurt to list them on Amazon, just in case, if they are rare. Its a fun job.

Sure hope you did some research, Jack!! Check to see if there is an Orchid Society near you. The wood and all of those pots were probably used together to earn the awards at the orchid competitions. Also, you're missing out with all of the old ephemera. Junk journalers like me will photocopy the deteriorating papers to have the old ads and headlines. There IS a big market for it!! Makes me very sad to see it all go into the trash! Even scientific papers with graphs and scales are great. The small "kiln" is probably scientific equipment that was fabricated for some specific experiment -- back in the day you couldn't just order stuff on Amazon -- you had to engineer it yourself. There's also a lot of interest in vintage documents regarding Nuclear Power theory and production. I'd buy all of those stamps and old envelopes and the little wax bags in a HEARTBEAT!!!!!! Even the empty stamp collecting albums are TREASURE to me!!! PLEASE sell them on Whatnot!!

It's a copper wash tub boiler, used to "boil" clothes clean on an open fire or wood stove. +/- $75 to 100 in the Midwest if there are no holes in it.

I sincerely hope that they are not watching this programme, it is their treasures, what a life they had.

The box for the blender was hamilton beach but the blender was oster...a much more expensive brand and vintage collectable

Those small Japanese Pots are for Bonsai and can be valuable depending on the potter.

Those trays could be sold to a bakery on Marketplace for a lot more than $3. They probably run more like $50-60 new.

Those aluminum trays sell for big money! They're double layered trays and air flows through them for a perfect two-sided browning. They sell for $60 each!

If you stick that reindeer decoration in your freezer for about 30 minutes all that candle wax will pop right off.

This was a fun locker to watch you go through it. For me, seeing the old coins was so cool. It had quite a few antiques, too. You were saying “mid-century” so much it made me wonder if I'm “mid-century” too? 😄 I'm 62, so I'm a little over half a century old. 😄 Thanks for being so kind and taking this locker for free from the elderly couple. Bless their hearts.

Thought you might be interested the Australian coin is one that is highly sought after. Copied from a Google search:- The value of a 1943 Australian penny can range from $20 to $250, depending on where they were minted and their appearance. This is because the 1943 Australian penny experienced mass production compared to other coins, as the country was in the middle of World War 2 during 1943, meaning the need for currency was higher than normal.

You can't beat free! The stoppers should fit the pyrex flasks.

I'm sad you dumped all the old papers. The journal maker in me was yelling nooooo

The baking trays are called 'half sheet pans' if you wanted to look up. They are worth some money. Especially if older

I love the old school Xmas lights. Nothing beats the colours when lit.

Reach out to the local university science department about using the paperwork research . They might be able to use it

Copper washtub for wood stove. Antique

There seems to be a lot of vintage & antique items $$$ there is much to profit from! Save the plant slides, send them to a botanical association with awards etc🌷🦋💐

The two pieces you first picked look like Purple Heart and Ebony. Both are equatorial species and are generally very expensive. The long narrow piece of ebony could be worth $100-$200 dollars. It also looks like it would be long enough for a finger board for an acoustic guitar

You probably have already disposed of the slides of orchids but if you haven't you might check with the orchid society in your area!!

The bamboo is used to grow the Orchid. The round heavy aluminum piece might fit the small test tube used for radioactive isotopes disapation be careful

Those sandbags in the sewing kit were used to hold down a pattern cutting fabric ❤❤❤❤😊 love you guys 💕

Jack , there are a lot of people who are looking for old papers, photographs, calendars to do journaling with contact through online media. The tubes are all over the place somebody would give you 10 to 20 bucks for that stuff. Go forward.

Those shinny brite ornaments could be worth looking into. I know alot off people look for vintage Christmas decorations and things.

Man, so much awesome paper ephemera, old grungy books, sewing notions, .... sigh. Junk Journal paradise!

I’m cringing right now, just one of those stamps, even a loose one…any of them could be VERY COLLECTIBLE ! 🙏🏻❤️

I sold a scale pretty much like that for $75! I can’t believe someone at the better market wouldn’t buy it.

This locker brought me back to my childhood! That blender is identical to the one my 90 year old mom still uses. And I think that rag doll is known as a Topsy Turvy doll; it has 2 heads, and you can flip the skirt, depending on which doll head you want to play with. I had one from the late 1800’s, which interestingly had a blonde head on one side, and a black doll on the other.

whyd you "whatever" those Xmas ornaments, those are Shiny Brights, those are worth some cash

You didn't have to lie about the age of the locker. Instant turn off

Stamps can bring you money. My dad dealt in Stamps and when he passed brother sold them for quite a bit.

Bing & Grondahl or Royal Copenhagen for the danish dishes, definitely worth something. I used to collect it, I love it. Research it before taking it to Stockton.

Free is fun!!! Lots of MCM treasures in there in the Danish dinnerware and the glassware and some of the decor pieces I saw! Always fun to go through these with you, Jack! Thanks for another great video!

I hope you check the value on the stamps. Even used old stamps can have significant value.

for all the commenters, I really appreciate your group wisdom and the fact you are proposing more accurate description and price and where Locker Nuts can sell it.

People like those shiny bright brand ornaments

Jack, please stop dissing Stockton. They do help contribute to your income a little and I’m sure there must be some nice people there. They probably don’t have a lot of money to spend on anything. Keep up the great videos. Marsha from Georgia

Free locker!😃 It’s was nice of you to help the elderly couple.😊

The Danish plates etc. can be worth decent money. Tons of collectors

Love the Gumps figurines.

Those Shiny Bright ornaments you were unexcited about usually sell for decent money. I sold a decent size box of them for $80. I always pick up Shiny Bright for the right price. I am not sure what kind of margins you look for in reselling but I would keep those to sell for sure. Especially since you had them in the boxes and the colors looked to be in excellent condition. Also, some old ornaments that look like stained glass can be shell and those in sets like you have can be worth money. Even so, with as many as you had in sets, they would probably sell pretty decently. Everyone has their niche though.

Aluminum Donut Trays sell new for $200 so $50 each used in that shape

Old Christmas ornaments sell all year long on EBay worth some big money

Awesomeness 🦋🌷spread the love. Great to see some people are not greedy but actually giving by helping others ☮️🇨🇦💜

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My late father was a chemist and we used to have stuff like that around the house that got repurposed. One of those beakers was perfect for making martinis in the 1960s. Lol

The hand sculpted flower vase was signed and dated by the artist and with no chips, it needs to go to antiques roadshow!

Also with paintings and old photos take the backing off because it was common practice to hide stuff behind pictures. Also with old hardware like door pulls and drawer handles if they are painted you might want to remove the paint because during the world wars people would hide their gold and silver by making them into hardware in their kitches to hide it from invading forces. I found 5 lions head door pulls that ended up being sterling silver.

Holy Toledo that coffee table is $$$$$$$

WTG Jack & Jana. Stepping up to help an older couple and for no charge is awesome. There are some good suggestions in the comments below on the value of some of the items you found.

I hope is was able to see comments because they seem really helpful. He is an experienced seller yet wasn’t aware of the value of old newspapers. We can’t know everything!! Hoping you find some great things to sell.

I still wanna see that a estate sale that you did last year

Fun locker to go through. Thanks for sharing. And, yes I have been patiently waiting on the video from the estate sale. I love estate sales. Glad you mentioned it. Hope it is out soon.

Like a time warp. He sounds a very interesting guy to talk to, would love to read those letters n look at those old photos too. For someone on very little sleep you sure can work hard still. Nice one 👏👍🏻❣️

There are Sterling silver buttons and cufflinks

Hmm...pottery shards, from Santa Fe? Hard to tell if those are legitimate collectables. Most pottery shards found in historical locations are forbidden to pick up.---Pictures at an Exhibition album in that stack. The first album I ever bought was a Leonard Bernstein's conducting album, music we played in High School band. Still one of my favorite music albums. I have it on CD & cassette! Lots of history behind that music for me.---I think those sand bags in the sewing box were for holding down delicate fabric when cutting out patterns, because the seamstress wanted to avoid pin holes.

Oh and the rubber stoppers where for the Pyrex containers

The vintage christmas is worth $$$.

Given the age of the owner and the subject matter of his research, I think I would go over everything with a Geiger counter. And maybe take some iodine, too. Just saying.

Free is my favorite four letter word!

That Hamilton Beach Blender if a 1950’s Bee Hive model and worth a second look up. I know they are asking $75-100 on most of the platforms….

You need to use the term, "there is no financial value" to us on some of these items because there is "value" in them.

That locker is a treasure trove! The owners are definitely distinguished people in their fields of study. That locker is their genius.

The envelopes are usually first run stamps from postoffice

It’s an antique copper wash tub.

Check out the stamps on the old letters.

So cool! I would love half of that stuff, even the slides! 💖

You should look at the dates of the newspapers that were used as wrapping some of the old pottery.

All that old papers is great for junk journaling !!!

It is copper. It can bring a bit of money. The glassware "Bavarian" is a bit of money.

Very interesting, love you guys❤❤❤❤

Since you seen a generous person, I would recommend taking whatever medical equipment you find, call your local homeless shelter and donate them there. Some stuff they can't take but give them a call on the crutches.

Look out for reactive glass and such; in the early days they had radio active things in watches and clocks ⏰ 🙈 🍀

I saw petrified wood in that box of rocks

Local botanical gardens would possibly have liked the gardening slides?

whoa! 😮🐸

Jack the beakers and test tubes can be sold to florists. They are used for flowers. Those bamboo sticks are used to store the test tubes.

Copper clothes boiler - neat!

❤❤❤❤❤ Blessings and Love to all family friends and subscribers, thanks again for sharing another wonderful video with us. Love in the house from Trinidad West Indies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

With the background of the owners those rocks may include some URANIUM ORE. Might want to get that checked out.

I think the rubber stoppers fit the glass flasks

All orchid-related things should be given to orchid society.

given the age of the owner, you may want to look closely at those stamps

Just because it's made in China a lot of ornaments and pottery can be worth a lot of money

Collage artists and journal crafters buy yellowed old tape all day long for $8-10 a roll. 😃

Well since you got it for free, then everything you sell those items for is gravy. I'd be happy if that was a locker I got for free to resell. A lot of those old newspapers are collectable. Please make sure the family gets back all those family photo's. Someone in that couples family will want them I'm sure.

Might you consider sharing your sales on this locker with the older couple that gave it to you?

All of the Danish China and the hammered aluminum are all definitely MCM items

Hello Jack. Let's see what's inside of this free abandoned storage unit. Everything looks awesome.

Some states it's illegal to have coral in your possession But you cannot go to the ocean and get it anymore because it's considered a living thing

The fancy small pots are sometimes used to plant orchards

Looked like some stamps in that recipe card box you tossed

You talked about cleaning the wax off the candle holder and then mentioned throwing it away. The quickest way to remove wax is to put the item in the freezer and after a few hours the wax just pops off. Super easy way to clean.

Stick the deer candle thing in the freezer and the wax will pop off

💛🧡 I would have been fun to have them tell us about some of this stuff. I am sure they feel much lighter having the locker squared away.

I have been enjoying your Video's

Set a piece of cardboard underneath the reindeer with wax out in the sun. The sun will do most of the work and melt away the wax. Anytime you are dealing with wax, let the sun soften the wax for you. I do this all the time when I want to clean the wax off of whatever it is.

The bamboo prices go with that tub it's fontai n
