    The chair combo thing was called a gossip bench. When people had land lines, the telephone was put on the desk and people sat on the chair to talk.

    Great video and lots of good finds!I can't believe people throw so many reusable things away. You're right...donate them instead of sending them off to the landfill!

    • @debbideanna8818
      @debbideanna8818 Před 6 lety +3

      BUT if they donate everything, there'd be nothing for the curb shoppers!

  • @2ndhanddaisy
    @2ndhanddaisy Před 6 lety +88

    That's an old furniture picking trick. You see any piece of furniture with drawers and you want it, but can't get it at the time, grab the drawers quick and then nobody will want it without the drawers and then you can go back and get it later :-)

    • @2ndhanddaisy
      @2ndhanddaisy Před 6 lety +8

      Thanks :-) It pretty much explains why every time you see a nice piece of furniture on the road, it's missing the draws :-)

      My neighbor was remodeling. He tossed solud wood drawers out the second story window. I got them, use them under my dresser and bureau for shoes. The arrangement looks nice and serves a purpose.

    @carolthomas8743 Před 6 lety +4

    The table with the chair is one of those antique phone chairs. I bet if you put that on eBay u could get some good money. Used before wall phones. We used them in the 40 and 50's.

    Hey what's up taco! I don't know how far into scrapping u get but those microwaves also have copper bars inside them if u take them all apart.. be safe and have fun. Keep the videos coming.

    Good one.. I'm kinda binge watching your videos. Watching one with the snow reminds me it'll soon be coming here..lol.
    You're right about donating things, I'd rather give people things/ donate than just throw it away.
    I just sold my house after my husband died & bought a much smaller place & I took LOADS of stuff to places called ' The Lord's Cubbard '& 'The Lord's Locker'..they help people in need.

  • @nanachick05
    @nanachick05 Před 5 lety

    That's a phone table and the green desk you could've sold at the flea market. If it's furniture and it's fairly nice always grab it Taco, people love to find furniture to paint.

  • @ShaneManTV
    @ShaneManTV Před 6 lety +56

    What's going on Taco!! 9:16 is a telephone chair. Your old radial dial phone would sit on top and your phone books would go inside. Sweet Happy to see you got the 2x's back...I may get a 3x! Peace!

    • @ShesReady2Rockhound

      Brought back memories. We are showing our age. lol . My sister was pulling me around on a blanket, I fell sideways and smacked my front tooth on the leg of that sucker. Kindergarten photo that year I had a black tooth.

    • @tkwilson4585
      @tkwilson4585 Před 6 lety +8

      When he said no, nevermind...I started yelling at my monitor saying "no! don't leave that telephone table behind!" LOL Glad you changed your mind, Taco!

    @thomasparisithinkhub Před 6 lety

    When I was slow with work years back my brother and I decided to see what the scrapping life was like. We had a 16 foot trailer and we set out the nights before morning trash pick up was scheduled in the neiborhoods here on Long Island. To my surprise we made a cool 200$ on average per night, which is a bit more than most employers would like to pay! That's for the 8 hours of pickup, maybe 1 hour sorting, and an hour to and from the scrap yard.

  • @pbs4535
    @pbs4535 Před 6 lety +14

    I would go through all of this if I were you never pass this up.
    At 13:20 that's an antique telephone chair you don't see those anymore.
    You should pick up antique furniture those are the rage.

  • @bg147
    @bg147 Před 6 lety

    That was a telephone seat that you grabbed and an old one. The chairs and the Duncan Phyfe table weren't bad at the first stop. Those metal baseboard radiator covers are nice to have if someone has dented or rusted ones. New ones cost a fortune. I was on a job and the prior homeowner left them outside and ruined them during a reno. New ones were over $1500 and they wanted me to fabricate some wooden ones to save money.

  • @terrik38
    @terrik38 Před 6 lety +1

    another good finds...that chair and table that are attached together are old my grandmother had one and she would use it to set her telephone on the table part and sit and talk on the phone :)

    Well, by now you know that odd looking chair is a phone bench. I could sell that for about $125 in my antiques booth. It always stuns me that you can't sell the furniture you find (like the fabulous chairs and table). It would probably pay for me to drive there from Florida, rent a U-Haul and bring back the furniture you leave behind. Thanks for sharing, Taco.
