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.
Crafters love old books, paper, old photos, slides, rocks etc , lots for your on line auction
This entire locker is such a valuable beautiful time capsule of a man's lifetime works. It's priceless.
whyd you "whatever" those Xmas ornaments, those are Shiny Brights, those are worth some cash
The box for the blender was hamilton beach but the blender was oster...a much more expensive brand and vintage collectable
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.
Also Dansk dishes.
If you stick that reindeer decoration in your freezer for about 30 minutes all that candle wax will pop right off.
Yes! I love that reindeer candle holder!
Those small Japanese Pots are for Bonsai and can be valuable depending on the potter.
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!!
People would pay for his information on his studies and pamphlets he had
Copper washtub for wood stove. Antique
I sincerely hope that they are not watching this programme, it is their treasures, what a life they had.
It's disrespectful to stand and say whatever, whatever.....it's their lives and their things that he's got for free. I really hope they don't see the video. What a shame that you choose to be indifferent to what you say and I've always found him likeable, but it just went down....
Is it always something that he chooses to give them their photos and other returns if the older couple wants it.
THINK about how you behave and say in the future when you get a locker for free
Apparently their treasures weren't worth much to them if they were offering Jack money to get rid of them.
They wanted to pay these people to throw this stuff away
As you age material items become of less importance 🤷🏼♀️ Any thing of real value they have most likely kept or have passed on to family.
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.
You can't beat free! The stoppers should fit the pyrex flasks.
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🌷🦋💐
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!!
Exactly! They also might sell on EBay!
I agree you might also check and see if there is a gardening group and see if any of them would be interested. It seems to be a shame to throw away pictures to the people in a group to have photos of a champion orchid grower
The slides will sell- no copyrights.
My imagination is going crazy with this locker! The former owner could have been experimenting with nuclear radiation and its effects on orchids! If you have a Geiger counter you could runic over those rocks!
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
Very well said I’m in the same sinking boat as many in Stockton, Feeling the pinch of employment and the economy. Thankfully have decent health have issues but if I had the health set back Jack had they might as well bury me alive. Still plugging along wondering what the man upstairs plan is. To All Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
I’m sure the dealers who go to Stockton love Locker Nuts. I know I would. 😂❤
I love the old school Xmas lights. Nothing beats the colours when lit.
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.
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.
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.
Those trays could be sold to a bakery on Marketplace for a lot more than $3. They probably run more like $50-60 new.
I agree 100 percent !!
Poor Stockton they are 2nd class citizens
With the background of the owners those rocks may include some URANIUM ORE. Might want to get that checked out.
Especially since you are finding scholarly papers on atomic decay and other such topics Jack. I’ve read a lot about the history of atomic energy development and folks who accidentally hurt themselves on things they found in random places like storage lockers and basements. Please be careful. See if any of your buddies has a Geiger Counter.
They make glasses out of them and many other things people pay big money for
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.
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
I knew someone would know what they were for! I came to see the answer.😊
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!
So the folks r in their 90s ,& thats a '90 yr old' locker? Nawp!
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
The Danish plates etc. can be worth decent money. Tons of collectors
The baking trays are called 'half sheet pans' if you wanted to look up. They are worth some money. Especially if older
Those were full sheet trays
Professional grade for restaurants
Reach out to the local university science department about using the paperwork research . They might be able to use it
Also, if you can figure out which school he went to, perhaps call them. You might also want to call the company where he worked (or whichever company bought them).
I sold a scale pretty much like that for $75! I can’t believe someone at the better market wouldn’t buy it.
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.
The fancy small pots are sometimes used to plant orchards
Stamps can bring you money. My dad dealt in Stamps and when he passed brother sold them for quite a bit.
Oh my those flat sheet cake pans are bakery type ,heavy duty !! Those wood deer we used to make those years ago and sell them LOL
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.
Old ephemera can be sold in lots! Crafters love it! Even the old books are desirable for crafters!
Yes that used to be true but more and more recently the ephemera lots have been bringing in very little money.
@@LockerNuts that’s too bad!
My heart is breaking seeing all of the old paperwork going in the garbage.
@@teta3577 Same here! Too bad I'm half the world away...
This couple probably did some epic entertaining back in the day!
The Crocks in the corner could be very valuable depending on the maker also
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.
I’m cringing right now, just one of those stamps, even a loose one…any of them could be VERY COLLECTIBLE ! 🙏🏻❤️
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.
Those shinny brite ornaments could be worth looking into. I know alot off people look for vintage Christmas decorations and things.
Awesomeness 🦋🌷spread the love. Great to see some people are not greedy but actually giving by helping others ☮️🇨🇦💜
The bed pan makes a great litter box for a cat. Very designer if will.
Free is my favorite four letter word!
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!
I still wanna see that a estate sale that you did last year
Did you lose the forage
💛🧡 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.
People will definitely buy old album and letters if they don’t want them back. We use them in making art journals and what are called junk journals.
So cool! I would love half of that stuff, even the slides! 💖
There are Sterling silver buttons and cufflinks
Some of the old blenders can be worth alot of you find the right one
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.
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.
I'm sad you dumped all the old papers. The journal maker in me was yelling nooooo
Love the Gumps figurines.
Old Christmas ornaments sell all year long on EBay worth some big money
I hope you check the value on the stamps. Even used old stamps can have significant value.
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 👏👍🏻❣️
I saw petrified wood in that box of rocks
Holy Toledo that coffee table is $$$$$$$
Free locker!😃 It’s was nice of you to help the elderly couple.😊
There are people selling orchid slides on ebay
When dealing with stamps, they are more valuable if they are "cancelled", meaning stamped. Collectors buy stamps and send them to themselves and eachother to get the ink mark on them.
Look out for reactive glass and such; in the early days they had radio active things in watches and clocks ⏰ 🙈 🍀
Take those aluminum trays to DeAnza. They are great.
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.
Stick the deer candle thing in the freezer and the wax will pop off
❤❤❤❤❤ 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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very interesting. Thanks Jack.
Always enjoy your videos ❤
happy to hear you still think of the estate sale episode hhh
Oh and the rubber stoppers where for the Pyrex containers
They are called conical flasks. Used in many laboratories
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.
That bubble wrap is amazing...LOL
Those stoppers go into the beakers
It is copper. It can bring a bit of money. The glassware "Bavarian" is a bit of money.
You should look at the dates of the newspapers that were used as wrapping some of the old pottery.
I was thinking the same thing!
I wish you would share with us the dates on the newspaper wrappings to see when the items were wrapped up. That would be a fun fact to see as you unwrap items.
Collage artists and journal crafters buy yellowed old tape all day long for $8-10 a roll. 😃
I want the pearl vase.
I know you are in business and clearing lockers to make money which is an amazing job I would love to do what you do. I do feel you have a responsibility when finding specialist research stuff especially old such as the orchids to see if it is of interest to horticultural societies. It’s part of history and would have taken years of work and may be important.
Nice job, Jack. Fun stuff. Pottery and coins are cool.
Hey I watch a couple that does antiques and you really need to look into some of that really old. Don’t be quick to discount vintages glass and kitchen items and China. I know you want to turn it over quickly for profit. 😊❤
I'd be very happy with the Sterling silver symbol that's a 100 bucks or about hard to find
I love these Pyrex! I found some on a garage sale and I keep flowers in it.
Vintage Christmas items sell all year long. I buy lots of it on Whatnot all the time.
You need to use the term, "there is no financial value" to us on some of these items because there is "value" in them.
I really love pewter and aluminum! I think it's for older folks like me 75 and above.
Everyone knows (or should know) what he means when he or anybody says that in the reselling business…
Hello Jack. Let's see what's inside of this free abandoned storage unit. Everything looks awesome.
All of the Danish China and the hammered aluminum are all definitely MCM items
You always make it interesting Jack. That Japanese vase is so pretty. Take care ❤
what a fantastic locker with lots of neat intresting thing ive never seen before , a real treasure trove
The rubber stoppers are for the beakers!
I would love to have the box with the science books
. I will check out your WhatNot auction
Have you thought of calling the Botanical Gardens in your area to see if they can use the slides if the orchids they might really be happy to get them, just a thought❣️
Wow that's Awesome 👍😎😊
All that old papers is great for junk journaling !!!
Wooden cork stoppers from the Black Forest in Germany. We had a collection from the 60's in our family.
People may by all that old paperwork and photo slides .. you can make prints from the slides .. their is a market for that stuff … lv this locker ❤️❤️
Retired chemistry teacher here. The Pyrex glassware you called beakers are actually called Erlenmeyer flasks. Beakers have straight up and down sides.... Flasks are triangular shaped.
So even the person in the comp that you posted called them the wrong thing!
