    My sister had that identical Barbie. Hers was the redhead and mine had black hair...called a bubble cut. We got ours the Christmas of 1961. If the price is not astronomical, I would love to have her. Good finds! 😊👍🏻

    I love the television lamp. My granny had one just like it. She had floral foam in it with fake ivy. We were never allowed to watch tv without it being on. The television was going to damage our eyes if we didn't have light (LOL). I'm 64 and so that was in the late 50's and early 60's.

    I love vintage clothing. I suppose they have sold by now? Loving your videos, you have my dream job, even digging through the rubbish in your hoarder home and old antique shop! I would just love clearing and restoring and finding new homes for all the stuff...making the places beautiful again. Mmmm.....

    great buys on the painting of the rail bridge and the barbie Doll!. Ichad some Boys own papers Books like that Girls one from the same era. That Bar cabinet you have looks to me like it started life as a gramophone .I used to have an Edison gramophone in the same type of cabinet and i've known people back in the 60's who would buy them and turn them into cocktail cabinets .

    • @CuriosityIncorporated
      @CuriosityIncorporated  Před 6 lety +1

      It would have been a bit small for a gramophone, but that would be good use of an old cabinet!

    I have that mallard duck tv lamp, but the base is chipped and broken. I keep it b/c the mallard is unbroken and I am a mallard duck fan. It is from the 1950’s, or at least that is when my parents got the lamp. Thanks for the treasure tour.

    The Transformer might be part of the Diaclone line from Japan. If it's only stamped Takara that would be the case. If it has Hasbro stamped, then it's Transformers. I believe there would be another stamp inside where the driver would sit.

  • @stude1953
    @stude1953 Před 6 lety +1

    All I know about Barbie's is about #1 in case I ever came across one at a Flea market or house sale and that is the #1 had holes in the bottom of her feet for a wire stand they sold. Also she usually came in a black & white swim suit. So you might have a #2 or later.

    talking about the vintage bar stuff, what do you figure the popularity of 1920-1940's buffets? we have one with a mirror along the back. about 4' tall, 2 big doors, one long drawer along the bottom, mirror is about 6" tall, runs the whole length at the back. was from an air force base PLQ.

    Map with the chocolate candy is a basic idea to reference where in the United States kids will be selling those candies for fundraising like they do today I guess the the map was to give you an idea it was basically US school student is who you can buy them from.Those are the same candy bars you also sold for your school and you were a kid it's just a different company that bought them out and makes now make them. I believe the name is now called (World's Finest Chocolate) today

  • @queenofyeay
    @queenofyeay Před 6 lety +14

    I believe that Duck lamp is a TV light from the 50's... That particular one was produced by Lane & Co. I feel pretty sure. As you may know TV lights only lasted a decade or so, then disappeared. Yours might be a later Lane product as most Lane Mallard TV lights had a simpler styled planter.

    • @reeneebeany7706
      @reeneebeany7706 Před 5 lety +1

      We were told not to watch TV in the dark because it was bad for your eyes. My grandma had one that was a circular shape and when the light bulb heated it up it turned and displayed different seasons of the year. I loved it. I still like night lights for the bath and kitchen.

    It’s hard to tell from the picture but I think the cow thing is a creamer, possibly a delft blue from Holland? Cow creamers are collectable, the blue interior is unusual, I did a quick image search and only saw one with the blue inside, so it might be worth something.

    My brother was reading the want ads in the local paper a few years ago when he came across an add for someone looking for old barbie dolls. He remembered seeing one my sister in law had up in the attic. It was from about the same year as yours , They gave the guy a call and he came 3 hrs drive to see it. The guy paid her $900 for it.

I live in Wilmington North Carolina, so if still available please let me know and at what cost and how much shipping would be.

  • @gosportjamie
    @gosportjamie Před 6 lety +3

    The writing on the Black & White display looks different to that seen on post-war items, which are fairly common in the UK so I'd be inclined to think it might be pre-war, probably 1930s...

  • @nancycharlotte3140
    @nancycharlotte3140 Před 6 lety +2

    The date on the Barbie is more about the body style, not the age. I look at the hairdo and the clothes. I'm older so I have seen that kind of Barbie in the mid- to - late 60's.

    Loved watching your terrific score on this estate haul. I'm interested in knowing if the black figurine, I call her "Aunt Jemima" is glass/porcelain. I have her and the butler, ( "Uncle Ben" ) as salt and pepper shakers in plastic. Got them at an indoor garage sale while working for the federal government over 30 years ago for $.50. The sale was for the benefit of raising money for annual United Campaign. I am not one to be offended when I see black art. My co-workers tried to buy the set back from me, thinking I was offended. I said no, of course. They're proudly on display in my dining room area, worth about $35 for the pair last time I checked. Check her out she may be worth some $$. Again, don't be shy when you run across items like these and just push them aside. I love seeing stuff like this.
