We get to see the keepsakes people have hidden at home in this hybrid antique show and appraisal fair video! It's amazing what comes out of the woodwork when a museum sponsors a gathering of dealers and collectors to swap stories, buy and sell antiques, and view vintage items brought by regular folks curious what the value of their heirlooms might be. We're back in the Midwest, and our quick view of the Newburgh, Indiana antique show reveals quaint quilts and primitives, ironstone and crocks--but also vibrant vintage signs, sparkling jewelry and uranium glass! We make a round and put a few things on our go back to buy list, while enjoying cigar linen throws and an amazingly cute child's sized oak cabinet we've never seen on such a petite scale. But the appraisal fair is where the amazement happens! We've never seen a lot of these pieces before, and some of them are real discoveries. Along with fun 1950s TV lamps, a stylish set for the sick and a wildly carved chair, we discover gifts people got that now have great significance, including a five-figure painting and a photo album of WWII dignitaries taken by one of the few people in the room at a major conference of world leaders! The Midwest sure has a lot of interesting things, and we have a great time appreciating them and helping their owners understand their true value. We leave with a few good buys of our own, and take heart that so many people are stewards of tremendous pieces of our world's heritage! ———————————————————— ☀️ Do you want more info about an item you own?

@m.c.master4622last year Oh, George, I got a big laugh over the historic photo album. The photo identified as Haile Selassie that you spoke about with the lady was actually a photo of Chiang Kai-shek, the head of China!! Those photos are of significant importance of which I am sure you are aware. It would be easy to track down which conference that was and compare their images online. ... 3

@DynamiteDaynaDlast year I cannot get over George's knowledge!! When Liberace had his show back in the day sometimes he would say "I wish my brother George were here". Sometimes I see things when I'm at antique stores and I say, "I wish George the Antique Nomad were here!" ... 21

@cherylmellblom9736last year About 40 years ago I was having dinner at a fellow teacher’s home when I noticed that our silverware had JQA on it. I was astonished to learn my friend was related to John Quincey Adams and we were eating on inherited silverware. ... 9

@kathygolden2103last year I had never heard about the liners from cigar boxes sewn into little quilts. My mom 93 has been a quilter forever and I've been around antique shops for 50 years and I had never heard about that. Even old gals can learn new stuff watching your channel.
Thank you George! ... 17

@Deborah4Antiqueslast year Boy, I would have paid $100 for that 1900 watercolour! Would have reframed and different mat colour. Great show! 7
@

@Eclectistalast year Hi, George, the sharp hooked end on the little oil lamp was t to pull the wick out, it was to stick into a beam to hold the lamp, that's why it's flared from the needle- like end. 4

@francesh3423last year What a great appraisal fair George, thank you! So thrilled with the Martin Boyd bowl as I've not seen him shown/discussed before! I, too, thrifted a piece, your 🇨🇦 neighbour: a pristine condition decorative hanging plate (untouched by any hanging apparatuses phew) of an Aboriginal hunter crouched with his spear in front of a desert background. It's just beautiful and in my forever collection 😍 ... 3

@Lovesoldsongslast year I visited Colorado about 10 years ago and I saw a large mourning frame filled with an array of mourning hair, priced at 250.00 very beautifully displayed. I was tempted to buy but didn't. Now wish I had. 1

@Lizs.Tallentlast year Why do people cringe over human hair? My hair is very clean all the time. I think Hair is beautiful to make jewelry out of or whatever you need to do with it. Love your show! 2

@cecoyalast year WOW I learned a few different things here. Did not realize they had clothe liners in old cigar boxes, I have only seen the wooden and cardboard ones though. Then the pics of WWII had no idea on who they all were at all. Did some research on Haile Selassie he is an interesting read for sure. Being Rastafarian and died in 1975 he led a very active life. How cool, thanks for sharing your knowledge and letting me tag along. Have a wonderful day ... 1

@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUSlast year Good evening, George! There was what looked like either a milk glass or custard glass kerosene lamp, just to the left of the Wedgwood pitchers, that really caught my eye. Those hair mourning jewelry pieces were really nice. I'd like to have the two main pieces there. That seemed a super-good deal on them. The small oak cabinet was super-nice! I wouldn't mind having that. I really liked that German bible, but I loved the sick call set! I'd pay $150.00 for that in a heartbeat. I have a couple of the Consolidated Glass "Cosmos" lamps. Mine, with the shade, has a shade that matches the font, (not clear). The other one didn't come with a shade. I liked the hand-forged oil lamp. That post WWII album was amasing! It was like a museum, in itself, between two covers! That was a fantastic appraisal fair!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!! ... 3

@skellykelly2719last year George, I am watching you at dirty jeans but wanted to come on and make a comment. You never cease to amaze me and you are a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much from you and I’m so glad you’re friends with cat because U2 are my top thrifters! Have you been Thrifting and antiquing all of your life? How do you have so much information? Thank you for all you do. ... 3
@

@OriginalNetheadlast year Not a Bible - a prayer book/missal, best guess. Even a New Testament would be a LOT bigger than that, but a prayer book was something you carried. My house still has lead paint in it. It's tough stuff and won't hurt anyone as long as you leave it strictly alone. Not sure I'd want to use a can of it now though. ... 3
@

@skellykelly2719last year Correction, dirty janes and kat, The nurse flipper. 2
@

@danielclaeys7598last year Loretta said that you shouldn't ever talk about tinkling since her last bout with that reoccurring kidney infection. She's still upset with that deal Xeno got on all that discount toilet paper after COVID. Buster don't mind it because he using it up polishing the scratches out of your bulk purchase of the Howard Johnson Formica covered hotel furniture. Thirty rooms worth, what were you thinking? ... 3
@

@gardendaisylast year Ive always loved landscape paintings especially CA or TX. Are there any good paintings, artists you would recomend to buy? 2
@

@gloriaross9838last year I love your videos. vi ha e a set of Wm Rogers vintage silverplate vintage grape pattern. The pattern was discontinued in 1904. Does it hurt the value being over 100 yrs. old? 2
@

@kiki9618last year I have a very similar triangular shaped chair to the one you appraised but mine is lighter oak, has 4 legs and seems smaller, more for a lady. I was told it may have been a chair used on a train. I have no idea if that is true. Funny, I have a similar, small German bible that you appraised next and also the same wooden box that came after but mine has had the contents removed. What are the odds?😊 ... 1
@

@sarahhardy8649last year George you need to make it a rider on your contact that you get half an hour before the show starts to look through the stalls yourself and make the purchases you want to. 1
@

@sharthehereticlast year That photo album really had my full attention as a former history major (with a focus on the World Wars). So amazing!
I have a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from WWII that I bought at a yard sale. I would love to know if It's actually worth anything (though I plan to keep it). ... 2
@

@dannil98789 months ago What was that map of? 1/4 of Europe was cropped off.
@

@kenharris1054last year Dude, I enjoy your videos, but it's killing me. In the last item (WWII Picture Album), that is not a picture of Haile Salassie. That is Chiang Kai-shek, who is Chinese, not Ethiopian. OOOOh man, not even the right continent. Maybe you were being nice, and not correcting that lady. You really need to go back and edit that, sorry. ... 3
