- BOHO AS IT WAS! | ANTIQUE VINTAGE SHOPPING | RESELLER VLOG
We go in an unexpected direction in this episode! A route I've never taken leads to a surprising old ethnic village full of vintage stores, a great place to hunt for things we can flip for a profit while learning about true Bohemian antiques! We find some real BOLO's (Be On the LookOut for these items), and a few things to avoid as well (what's that smell?).
Czech Village is a fun and hip shopping and entertainment district today, but this section of Cedar Rapids has long the been center of Bohemian, Czech and Slovak culture in this region. We find real BoHo in the shops here, from intricately carved 19th century frames and crucifixes to painted figures and boxes, bright Czech pottery and deep garnet jewelry! Even the Mucha inspired painting on one building speaks of the design legacy of the Bohemians, some aspects of which live on today in the BoHo styles of American stylists like CZcams's @leftcoastrevivals.
But there's much more to find on this shop with me in the variety of vintage, antique and consignment shops we find in this sweet historic district! We even stumble across a "Thriftmas" sale as we uncover Juliana and Czech jewelry, a faux pearl tie, a 1960s decorated purse and other fun things we can resell for a profit. Fenton glass, an amazing pair of signed lucite candle pillars and handsome Victorian furniture that could serve great purpose today all find their way to our consideration, as we fill the van on our way to shows in the west. A final stop for some family genealogy wraps up this day of unexpected antique diversions!
Here's some more of what we find on our reseller shopping journey:
Eggleston pirate girl ad calendar, barn visitors sign, zither, cranberry epergne base, Colony Antigua vase, Prague garnet studded cap, Pilgrim cranberry glass, Czech and Slovak folk costumes, wood dolls, painted Bohemian boxes, Tonala duck, Gilbert stove timer, child size deck chair, RS Prussia bowl, art nouveau washstand pitcher, Bluebird of Happiness votive, shaker sets, Treasure Craft Smiley Face, Czech folk dolls and wooden characters, Bohemian carved wood spice sets and wall racks, Smurf figures, Czech glass perfumes, Bohemian carved ruby flash decanter sets, 1920s canister sets, Ladislav Oliva signed modernist vase, Bohemian wall plates and plaques, Lodge/Griswold/Wagner cast iron cookware, MCM chrome desk lamp, vintage baseball caps, tap and die sets, 1930s wood scotty cigarette set, 1980s threaded glass vase, vintage luggage, brass cash register, vintage elephants, Presidential collector plates, pest sprayer, Steubenville Ivory dinnerware, Amana Colonies jug, California Originals cookie jar, Mr. Peanut bank, American oak side-by-side cabinet, Chatty Cathy cutouts, Labelle Pottery bud vase, triple mirror 1890s dresser, blue/green 1970s couch, Czech scale and grinders, 1980s owl necklace, Sommerso controlled bubble vase, red poppy 1940s tin canisters and cake stand, Weller ombre vase, battleship cribbage board, Rosenthal Studio Line vase, etc.

I hope people watching this realize the vastness of this man's knowledge!
Trust me, we do understand & appreciate George's knowledge, and we can't help but be kinda proud of the guy when new folks visit the channel and quickly comment that he really knows his stuff.
I very rarely comment, but I've been a longtime viewer! George never ceases to amaze me! Keep on keep'n man.
You're very kind! It's great to know you're out there and it's meaningful in some way
The painted wood mushroom is a sock darner tool and the middle part is darning needle storeage. Thanks George!
George, my eyes almost popped out of my head at the Juliana neon necklace and earrings set. Holy cow! Excellent score.
So happy! Thank you
Sorry George, I have to get sò my
Hey George!! I love your videos!! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am from Kanawha County in WV. Born there and lived there for 40 years. One note: Kanawha is pronounced Ku-naw. 2 syllables. Just look on CZcams for a news story in Kanawha County and you will hear the news caster pronounce it. Much love to you!!
I will have to do that! I keep getting different pronunciations from different people
Me tilting my phone back and forth trying to see the signature on the bottom of the bluebird. Hahaha. LOL
I so enjoyed this adventure! Thank you, George!
You see why I always like reading your comments, because it makes a great sense of humor, I will love to know more about you if you don't mind, how are you doing today….?
Especially enjoyed this excursion. What fun.
Yup George you were 35 miles south of where I live !! John and I live in Albert Lea, MN which is on the MN/IA border. Intersects interstates 35 and 90. Manly is 35 ish miles south of us! Informative video as always!! Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰
I am so sorry I couldn't get up there! It's sort of on the way though so there's future potential
❤️❤️❤️
Interesting highlight of the Slovak heritage in the antique world. Never have seen that before. Loved it.
If I end up in a place that stinks, I'm always worried about how much is going to jump on my clothes and leave with me! Fab. show George, as always.
My sister and I were born in Council Bluffs Iowa. We used to visit there once a year. Most of my relatives have since left Council Bluffs, so we haven't visited for a couple years. It sure brings back a lot of memories for me.
That's really neat! I have only distant family memories of Iowa
Adventure abounds! As usual, you are very informative and it heartens me to learn about the origins of stuff! Thanks!
Glad to hear it! I enjoy doing it
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍
Really enjoyed 😉 ☺
Thank you very much George
With love from SAM
Guwahati,Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥
Wonderful to see you and thank you so much!
Looking forward to meeting George in Marietta Ohio next week! Hello to everyone from Pennsylvania.
Me too! So glad you're headed there
I so enjoyed your tour of the Czech community as both my sets of grandparents migrated for Czechoslovakia via the Galveston, Texas ports when entering the county. Our family has numerous antique pieces that were from our grandparents. I was brought up in a Czech home with many family gatherings and lots of Czech food. My Dad and aunts and uncles would actually make their own kielbasa at our house just like their parents did. Love Check dolls as I have several that were given to me as a child and can't forget all of the quilts that I have from my ancestors. You are so informative and love watching your video!👍🏻😀❤
That is so neat! I was excited to go somewhere that the antique and vintage items matched the local history
Did you hear about the Manly man marrying the Fertile woman? I had a great time checking out the stores with you. You sure travel fast from Portland to Iowa!
Great video George! Thank You.👍😘
Manly Junction so interesting thanks
That was fun 😃
Thank you so much!
Loved the video. While my husband worked for Vaclav Havel in the early 90s, I was sourcing perfumes for resale is US. Antique shops in Prague then were FABULOUS
It still has a lot of good things!
Good evening, George! There was a painting of an egret in flight, on the wall with the calendar, that I liked. That R S Prussia bowl was really pretty. My favourite R S Prussia pieces are the "Reflecting Waterlilies" on the icicle mold. I actually have that beehive S & P set, and I have a set that didn't come with the holder. Both sets are made in Occupied Japan. I like beehive items. Years ago, my dad was a beekeeper. Loved that crucifix! I have a substantial collection of them, and that one would make a great addition. I have a Czech glass pitcher and tumblers that are ruby cut to amber. It has oak leaves and acorns on it, and I really like it. That carved mirror is fantastic! I have my granddad's spray duster from the 1940s...and still use it. That Victorian dresser, with the side mirrors and doored compartments, was nice and interesting. Loved that ruby decanter with the four stems! At $169.00...it would've likely come home with me. Sounds like you needed a little Febreeze in that basement🤢😆 There were a lot of things there that caught my eye. Thanks for the take-along!!!
I liked the delftware canisters ! Nice tour George!
Mad at everyone who knows George and Xeno LOL
Aww, thanks! I'm pleased people are enjoying this along with me
I have been here! I actually stopped to these stores in on my way to Jeffrey’s when I got to meet you.
Oh how cool!
Really enjoyed this visit to Iowa. Both my parents are from Iowa and I was born in Davenport. Moved to St. Louis at 12. Also lived in Princeton and Eddyville ky. Thank you for sharing your visit
Your comment caught my eye because my dad was born & raised in Atlantic, Iowa, if you've ever heard of it. Some of the best people are from Iowa, in my own personal experience.
Small world! I was just in Eddyville and Princeton today.
I just hooked a local dealer up with a friend whose late MiL had a TON of Fenton. Recent stuff - she liked TV shopping channels, but even so. The daughter in-law came up from South Carolina to start cleaning out the house. I couldn't in good conscience actually buy the stuff myself, but could tell her what to do with a lot of it.
Even so! Some of those were well made and are well received. I'm glad you could steer her to someone legit!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
What a very interesting place. So many beautiful pieces. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day. Looking forward to seeing your Videos from Portland, Oregon. I always enjoy your history lesson.
Thank you so much! Good to see you here
"Reverse BOLO" -- ha ha, love it!
"Best Off Leaving Out"
I am impressed that Manly, Iowa, has a blue water tower instead of the common white.
True!
You have such a great voice and I can learn from you forever. Thank you!!
You're so much more comfortable in your videos now it's awesome!!! I hope for you to someday find something larger to haul Treasures
Thanks George another fun video oh and my grandmother's name was Gertrude Rasstater she was a strong gal!❤
I bet! That's a strong name for a strong person
This was a really interesting video. I’ve been visiting Iowa a lot lately. Will have to swing by Cedar Rapids!
You should!
Your videos are always such a joy to watch. The added genealogy bonus at the end was the cherry on top (my 2 passions are old objects and old ancestors!). Thanks for the fun.
I'm glad I went there! Thanks
( Keepers Finder) HI George and All!
Looking forward to this one - I am a true Boho girl!
Well, it might be more roots of Boho, but there you have it!
Is the very popular Rooster pitcher in orange, black , maybe yellow and red a Czech pottery. ? I didn't see any pieces.
I learned lots in this video 😃
George is an educator, that is for certain. And I'm a self-described History Head so I try to absorb all that I can!!!
It definitely is! Great example of their deco work
Have fun at the Fenton bash.
Love your adventures, thank you for taking us with you.
Thanks for watching!
I'm binge watching your videos today.
Thank you, George. I'm only 3 hours south of Cedar Rapids Iowa and wasn't aware of the different cultural areas in the town. Good weekend antique trip for me.
Thank you for taking us on a tour of the USA on you web site. Like many others in our farming area, my family didn't take vacations.
I was born in 1945, and life was a struggle to rebuild the farms after the depression .
I would really like to find a pearl tie. I had one that my grandma gave me when I was in jr high.
I'm sorry it sold so fast! I'll look for more
👍❤😁
omg i love that phone u just pushed aside....lol
Oh, I liked it too
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Gorge. Hello everyone from Massachusetts.
Hello! Good to see your comment! Thanks for tuning in
@@TheAntiqueNomad omg! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge with us 😃🤗😁
Some great stuff. Thanks for sharing a bit of personal history. I'm an east coast gal, never been to the mid west or western part of the USA. Maybe one day I'll get to see that area of the country. Happy trails
Make a point of it, you'll find nice people and some very different landscapes
I enjoy your channel George but I especially liked this video as I am from the Cedar Rapids area (Marion). The Czech Village is certainly something we are proud to have in our community!
Bye! Thanks, George!
Thank you!
That was interesting. My X and his family are from Cedar Rapids. We married in a little town right next to their. I briefly lived there but I didn't get to see much. I love little town's so getting a little history of your dad's family was nice. I was born in suburbs of Chicago but moved when I was 19. Spent most of my adult life in Kansas and Kentucky. I currently live in Florida. All the places you mention and live yourself! Thank you for all the knowledge you share. Oh...... I'm bohemian and I appreciate you mentioning the country....... Bohemia ❣️
Oh neat! I'm glad you appreciated Bohemia, it's a very distinct place
@@TheAntiqueNomad my family came to the USA before Bohemia was no longer. My great great grandma came with her 3 youngest. My great grandfather was the oldest children and the 2 younger were his sister's. My great great grandfather stayed behind because the 2 oldest boy's had been drafted into the war. My great great grandma left with the 3 youngest before my great grandfather was old enough to also be drafted. I love knowing some of my family history. I love you sharing so much history ❣️
The basement tour of the lingering odor also reminded me of the many ruff conditions I had to experience working @ estate sales. Your comments made me laugh! Fun mix of collectables!
Fabulous finds & fun trip!... 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Hope you do a haul including closeup shots of the jewelry group with Juliana. Beautiful. They will probably sell before you get the opportunity tho
I'm afraid you were right!
Hi George. I’m still laughing about the basement. Haven’t we all been there. Good times.
Loved this episode.
Thank you! I sure had fun spontaneously discovering it
There is a lot of Czech influence in this region of Iowa. Dvorak (Czech composer) spent a summer in Spillville, IA, in 1893, about an hour and a half north of there, and there is a lot of Czech ancestry. I live about 2 hours north of Cedar Rapids, so you were close! And as always, I learned so much. You are a true gift to so many communities -- antiquers, collectors, resellers, etc. TY so much for your kind, generous spirit!
That's fascinating about Dvorak going there! I was fascinated to find out about the Czech heritage there, I knew Ukrainians settled in Kansas and in the Canadian Prairies for similar reasons. You are very nice to speak so kindly of me and thanks!
You have so much knowledge.
I am a mid century “kid” and at 77 vintage years I won’t allow I’d century furniture in my home. But I do like the pottery, dishes etc
Lol I think people your age have nostalgia for what your grandparents had, not what was new when you were a kid!
George Kanawha is pronounced by the locals “ka gnaw wa”.
You see why I always like reading your comments, because it makes a great sense of humor, I will love to know more about you if you don't mind, how are you doing today….?
I need to practice that, I should know better by now!
I don't suppose you remember how much they were asking for the nouveau (repro) card receiving tray @16:08 do you? I have 2, bought one for myself new in the early 80's from a catalog because it was SO my style and a friend bought me the same thing for a gift. I love them so much, i have kept them both. Just curious what people are asking for them.
You have a good friend! I think it's cool that your friend bought you something she knew was your passion, rather than just any old thing. That's heart.
I think $35-45 if I recall right
@@TheAntiqueNomad that's about what it cost. i think i paid $35 in 1980
I’m planning a trip to fleamarkets in Germany, Czeck, poland and France in my new Van in the spring 2023 when I’m retired i march 23. Then home and unload and off again to Slovenia and Croatia where i have my secret spot on the Island og Cres 😎 I can’t wait,!
Oh, how exciting! I'm happy you are going to have such wonderful adventures! I wish to go with you
It’s thrilling and daunting at the same time. But I have to Do it! Wish you could come too.
Sometimes small animals die in the walls. I feel bad for them 🤭
Very cool video. Loved it
Thanks for the visit!
This was fun I enjoy seeing new places and seeing how people live in different cities too. Have a wonderful day
Hi George! I'm from NE Iowa & 1/2 Czech. My grandparents were from Protivin, IA. They lived on a farm between Cresco & Protivin. Always used to speak in Czech when they didn't want the grandkids to know what they were saying. Ha! Ha!
I think the smelly basement may be leftover from a flood that they had in CR maybe 10 years ago...I'm really bad with dates. I've been to a lot of those stores so it was really fun to hear your take on things! Thanks!
If you ever get around Spillville, IA, they have Bily Clocks that might interest you. It's on the web if you want to see some pictures.
My husbands 3rd Great Grand parents lived in Manly. They had a large family and some stated there and some left there. Their name were Trebilcock.
Interesting! I wish there was someone left from that time to ask among the Higby's whether they knew each other. My family was there about 6 years.
💖
George, you have a great eye! I’m enjoying your videos and glad to see you made it to Iowa.
It's pronounced "ku NAW uh". :-) Safe travels, as always!
having spent a lot of time in WV I have been wondering how long it would take someone to call the resellers on their pronunciation of this. and Tone all ah was right after that! someone farther down in the comments is saying it only has 2 syllables. I don't remember that being true. I remember it your way. or ka NA wah.
@@lauramoonwoman I grew up near the WV/KY border so the Kanawha River was always prominent in the news, even in our area. I've never heard a two-syllable version, either. lol I figured George would appreciate the correction since he does seem to run across that maker quite often in his travels.
See the comment above, I need to listen to a local newscaster say it!
Wow how great was that to go back & visit manly Iowa?? Great back story...... Just knowing ur walking where ur dad was.
Super fun shopping trip! :)
Great video Georgie! Loved the personal touch at the end 😍
Glad you liked it!! I wasn't going to add it, but then it told a story I thought was worth sharing
Loveeeeeeeee watching yr videos and I also from Iowa
I have the green version of the pinched vase that might be rainbow or chech. I was wondering what it was!
You found some awesome stuff as always, but the Czech element was especially interesting.
That Hall cake carrier made me laugh because I have a big bowl in that pattern -- except it has no flowers at all, just the black leaves. Someone in a great pottery FB group explained that it was the red poppy pattern and the actual poppies must have come off in the dishwasher. Whoops!
Besides a possible dead animal in the walks, I wonder if the basement has a mold problem, hiding under the floor coverings. Did you mention the strong odor to the staff?
It was so unmistakable that I know they've been told by other customers, it's beyond belief
I feel like the Blue Mountain pottery is very boring. Love the Black/orange.
I think it depends on the piece...there's some lava glaze and silver glaze Blue Mountain that is really unusual and scarce and different than the norm. Also, they came out with a pitcher in 1947 that Lenox essentially copied in 1953 and won a "new design of the year" award for, so I give them some credit
i am half czech ... :)
Cool! So is a good friend of mine
Those dolls at @8:38 are definitely cursed.
I wonder if they were having a septic problem or an animal crawled in somewhere and died. If I owned it, I would be hunting for the source.
Me too! Or burning a LOT of incense lol
a)
ave cm bA to a different
what is bolo?
Something that people should "Be On the Look Out" for
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks
When you show a piece that you think we’re interested.
Please keep the item STEADY:(😫. It’s Very difficult to see.
Do you not look back at what you’re recording???
I do appreciate your time to educate us but when your hand is moving up and down it’s difficult to read the price label. Thank you.😅
I understand, that episode was a particularly difficult one because we tried a different film processor that was supposed to make things more stable and it had the opposite effect. We aren't able to tell when filming because the screen is so small that we can't tell until we process the video. We did not use that processor again, so it should be better in most other videos
My dad was from czechloslovakia and they would refer to each other from bohemia as "bohunks" lol u think it was just easier to say than "bohemia" lol
Your background music was so loud that I had difficulty hearing you .
Yes I’m sorry about that there was an error in processing but we also had to mask the very loud background music in some stores
I have been looking for an election mnatch for years and years. I will by them.contat me please?
