- nice day to take the old jag out for a spin... or so I thought! I thought I was going to look at a small box of collectibles and it turned into a monster of a pick... watch and see how much I packed inside this classic car!
and... was it worthwhile ?!?
The tunic and shorts are what was called, hot pants, and were popular in the early 1970's...my grad dress was a long, purple and white floor length tunic, open from the waist and beneath them were the purple hot pants. I rocked the grad class of 1972. The pictures are priceless.
Yep! I was a year younger than you and I was a very quiet person, but I loved hot pants outfits like that. I was also a fan of the midi skirts that had a zipper up the front that started just below the knee and you unzipped it as far as you felt comfortable! I had a couple that I wore with tall boots and turtlenecks with long pendants or scarves at the neck. Ah, high school memories! Haha!
LM, my husband says you rock... even though he didn’t graduate until 1980!! I’m his wife and nine years his senior! Hhmmm
@@Lucinda_Jackson Frye boots and Seafarers, aviator glasses
@@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198 I have old concert tee-shirts older then you two. lol
@@l.m.2404 I actually seen some of those a few years ago
Super awesome popcorn sign!! That should go in your new shop, maybe you sell local popcorn. 😉
Beautiful books too!
I was thinking the same thing about the popcorn sign and some of the other signs.☺️
Dear L A
👍👌👏 That's a really good idea!
Best regards, luck and health.
Finding a signed Lindbergh portrait completely by accident... ohhh boy!
If it’s real...
Check it’s authenticity .. look real so much from the frame … of time
Best luck … to you always.. great to discover this with you in real time!
Such of good luck happing to you!

It's a print... There are more exactly the same.
That pink dress is something ZaaZaa would have worn while making pancakes on the "Green Acres" TV show. lol
I imagined Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby" in a few of those
That was Ava Gabor, not her admittedly better known sister Zha Zha.
Eva Gabor, not Ava; and it was 'hotscakes' not pancakes. 😃
@@capeclearisland Thank you for the correction. I thought it was Eva, but unfortunately I second guessed myself.
@@capeclearisland haha I had originally written hot-cakes but didn't want to confuse people. lol
We have a hatch back . A sonic Chevy. A small car . Went overboard at a secondhand shop with furniture and all sorts. The shop people kindly carried it all to the car and with jaws dropped they disbelievingly watched as my husband lowered the back seats and put half a houseful of furniture inside . The same thing happened at the condo we live in . People stared in astonishment as more and more and more stuff emerged from the small car .
You should put a pop corn machine in your new building and use the sign.
It will be fun to see how you decorate the new building. exciting! great finds today! those dresses are fabulous! your clothes selling friend would really love those!
Loved seeing the vintage clothing and purses!
My mother had even older tooled leather purses that my father had purchased in Mexico in 1958, but as in all things from my childhood....in a landfill....
You should sell popcorn in your new store and use that sign!
My great Grandfather worked for The Daily Panagraph in Bloomington IL. One time Charles Lindbergh crash landed his plane in a cornfield; my great Grandfather went out and interviewed him for the paper.
Jamaican bobsled team!!! My kids wore that movie out. They always said,"You dead, mon?"
We just learned about it and watched it a couple months ago.
When I was a substitute teacher, that was what the regular teacher left for the kids to watch.??? In high school??? Don't remember what class it was for.
Yeah I like that part when they put Sanka in the ice thing. Wasn't it to get him used to the cold and didn't one of his dreadlocks break off?
Kiss the lucky egg
@@conleykat I think you're right.
You could make popcorn in the new addition to the shop and put the popcorn sign up in there :)
Holy crap! A dinosaur bone!!!??? That's freaking awesome!!!
I bought my wife some first edition Nancy Drew mysteries... #2 The Hidden Staircase has two 30 year old news clippings in it... apparently the author was from toledo and Old Orchard neighborhood is where her house is in River Heights... and the old mansion of Cliffside is based on a real house in town too
I spent all my spare time reading Nancy Drew books and The Happy Hollister's. Some Trixie Belden. Great memories
@@marystrenke6299 I also read happy hollisters... I have about half of the books, they are harder to find than one would think... I really like children's chapter books, always have and collected many favorites over the years
S.A.M.I am, that is very interesting since I used to read those books you mentioned. Thank you.
I loved Nancy and Tricia but my absolute favorite was Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators...tried to get my grandchildren interested...no go 😔
I Loved Nancy Drew. So interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I think we might need a “Bid on this if you want Josh to taste it” category added to the next auction. 😉
Oooooooooo!!! That box of pharmaceuticals- What a fantastic collection of apothecary goodies. So so cool!!
Interesting on their own, but fasinating when they still hold product.
I'm guessing the mostly full bottles contained cheap ingredients that were useless for ailments.
I've always found those old pharmaceutical bottles so fascinating! Especially if you can actually read the label, the ingredients are like...wait, WHAAAAAT?! Childs cough syrup: licorice root, thyme, cocoa powder, cocaine, honey. Amazing finds this video!
Mel would look good in those dresses!!! Maybe she could model them for good video and advertisement content... not to mention nice artwork for you new house!!
That pink dress is beautiful!!!
Melissa should keep that one for herself. She would get so many compliments whenever she wore it.
Alex:
I've never heard of rhubarb being prescribed before?
Me: I have. But usually it comes in pie with added custard.🤣😂
The best prescription I’ve ever heard of!! 😋
Rhubarb is used for various digestive complaints.
I had that hand tooled leather purse back in the early 70’s. My father bought one for both my mother and I.
It had an amazing number of zippers and compartments! I used it for 15-20 years and donated it. It still looked practically new!
Wow! Score! Good finds...congratulations
In the Sixties, I was a young boy on a small farm in central Illinois. We had a Pepsi thermometer mounted on a shed very similar to the one in the video, except it was white with blue lettering. The reason I remember it so well is because of my many visits to a lilac bush near that shed from which I would cut switches for use by my mom on me. I became expert at switches (to thin versus to thick), and reading a thermometer.
@@007nadineL My mom is long gone to Heaven...
What a great collection. I hope you let us know what the Lindberg pic goes for, out of curiosity.
The red shirt from "Kowloon" is an amazingly rare find, Kowloon city doesn't exist anymore, what a strange place to see this!
Kowloon Walled City is what you're thinking of, but the shirt wasn't made there. The Walled City didn't comprise the whole of Kowloon; there was and is a lot more in that section of Hong Kong. Nowadays over 2 million people live there.
Kowloon still exists, it is a district of Hong Kong, I was there a few years back now, and while it is being heavily redeveloped it is still known as Kowloon.
Many years ago people such as sailors used to visit Hong Kong and go to a tailor to get a suit or dress made in a day or two.
Rhubarb is a laxative (contains anthranoids) and coriander is spasmolytic (to relax the gut/colon).
Love your channel. Keep posting content. I would watch everyday if you posted one a day. I am excited to see the new store when it is all finished!
I am old enough for those clothes to be giving me flashbacks.
I'm still in awe that you have a dinosaur bone. That's so freaking cool.
I was so excited to see it when it came out of the box because I immediately knew what it was !
I’m picturing it at the store in pride of place and Alex letting kids get close to it. It’s so cool! You’ll have kids coming in JUST to check out the Albertosaurus bone!
At our local zoo in the UK they have a jawbone of a blue whale, as a child it was my favourite exhibit!
It looks like the Lindbergh picture was an insert in the _Philadelphia Bulletin._ I grew up in Philly and remember the _Bulletin_ before they went out of business in 1982. In the 1970s, I worked in the plant where we printed the magazine insert for the _Bulletin._ There are a few of these out there, signed, but without the newspaper logo, so I suspect the signature was printed with the rest of the picture. In fact, there's an identical one at Worthpoint with the same inscription, so it was clearly signed in the plate.
When I saw your comment about Lindbergh and Philly before seeing the video, I thought you meant Pelle. : )
Both of those leather bags are obviously well crafted and something I would be tempted to carry today.
I have he pouch style one from 1972. The shoulder strap finally tore after continuous work for over 30 years. I had the strap repaired and it is my standard carry again!
Heck, yeah!
I can't believe that all that fit in the jag. There is like so many different items in these boxes. Something for everyone.
Hot pants - 60’s fashions!! That pink dress is so James Bond, The Avengers or The Saint!
Cod liver oil, lol as kids we would line up every morning to get our spoonful. Funny but we all loved it!
Still take it today if not feeling well…. Lol
Clothes in the 60s were made of curtains and couch material. 😆 My mother literally made us clothes out of curtains. Really ugly ones. It’s probably why, in my dotage, I still hate patterned clothing. Cool finds.
I love the artwork on some of those books.
KEEP THE POP CORN SIGN FOR THE NEW BUILDING😎
It would be great in the new store.
Great idea - put a popcorn machine under the sign and sell popcorn!
Wow! What interesting finds! I love the vintage clothing 😍💃
Interesting books. AND ALL YOUR BEAUTY (Watson), is from 1948. That's a 1939 Hudson coupe pulling that trailer. The Toronto library has that book, for anyone that lives around here.
Reminds me of our first family trip to Banff (from Edmonton) in '48, in our '36 Ford slant back coach.
Jade Pig - You've hit the jackpot of good luck!
Pursuing mystery boxes is one of the reasons, I think, many of us keep coming back - oh, what's he going to find? Oh, I know that piece - I had one as kid; or my dad or granddad had something like that. The adventure in memory is a trip (usually) worth taking. And one of the other BIG reasons is your oft magnanimous penchant for fair-play, paying back, and paying forward. So, in that every-man-logic, you've earned the abundance you and your family have been able to receive.
It is really cool to see you go through things that you pick up. Someday I'll have to make a venture to your store. It's only a 25 hour drive. 😆
I want to see Melissa wear the fancy pink dress! She'd look so glamorous! 😭
I hope the other picture is authentic. It would be a neater find than it already is.☺
And with her hair up in a bun! Very glam!😍
Wow Ms.Melissa you need to keep the clothes!You're small enough to wear these cool items from yesterday. That pink dress would look gorgeous on you!💗👍
That last clock has my name ALL over it! LOL
You acquire such awesome stuff😲❤❤
That brown patterned 60s dress is familiar. I saw a documentary on Yanis Joplin, and she wore a dress exactly Like that.
Anyone else notice Alex is driving a life sized Hot Wheels Red Line Jag?
I know. He LOVES his red line tire cars. lol I would throw wide whitewalls on the Jag. Would look super sweet with the wire wheels.
Hot Wheels never made an Etype. Topper Johnny Lightning did.
@@chrislongbeard I grew up in New Rochelle,,NY in the 60's. About half a block away from my best friends house was a big factory called GRIES . They mader many things and one of them was Johnny Lightning Cars. We used to go jump in their big dumpsters at night and we found a whole lot of Johnny Lightning cars they were discarded. Some painted, some not.
They also made those tiny tools you could buy in big gum ball machines. The tiny pliers, hammer, screwdriver, scissors, pipe wrench and nutcracker.
I had a 1978 AMC Pacer that I used to deliver custom furniture . No one could believe thier dining table and 6 chairs could be in there, but they were😁
ill never get over this: * casually buys a dino bone amongst books * - just *wUt*
That blue dress is called a sizzler 1973 the dress was so short the short shorts had to match!
Don't let Bob the Bottleman drink anything from a bottle!
😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Only the cans. 😆
Are you kidding? lol I think most people are waiting for him to sample something from Alex's haul. =)
Great finds and a really cool car too.
Those are some nice finds! Good luck on the Lindbergh picture, hope it’s authentic!
Wow amazzzzing!😲 Unbelievable the amount of stuff that fit in your Jag!! 😳
Some great interesting stuff in that haul.
Yep. The clothes are 70's.
I like the red line tires on your jag. I had them on my 1970 TR6
I think the short set, is actually a hotpants set from around 1970 - 1972
I had 3 different hot pants sets, 1 was lilac all in one with a bolero, 1 was a jacket and shorts in navy and white and one was an all in one bib and brace in black. Ah the memories!
Another great haul! 👍
You do find the coolest things!
That popcorn sign is epic!!!
Wow! I live in Waterbury Connecticut where that clock was made!
Love your channel 🥰✨
OMG, Alex! You know who would love those Boston Bruins jerseys? The Raccoon Whisperer, James Blackwood.
Yes he would. He lives in Nova Scotia.
collection of Hymns! that 's a nice find! love that! great books!!
Nice find! If we can ever afford to take an extended road trip from Omaha, we'll swing by!
Looks like someone raided my closet fron way back when. I had the smaller leather purse ,as a matter of fact may still have it as it never wore out. Great finds. That picture is a great find.Hope it turns out to be authentic. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
I remember when we went to the gas station and they had a Pepsi machine. You would put your quarter in open the door pull out the glass bottle and use the opener on the machine to open the Pepsi. Wow how long ago it seems. Have a great day
Yes, I fondly remember rarely encountering those old style machines, and doing the same in the 80's.
Wow, Grecian Inspired, perm pleated party dress. Had one in the 90's and used to wear it out to niteclubs...
There is a pic of Lindbergh that's autograph on ebay just like that one for 15 hundred bucks..Great find.
Alex, only you could buy one thing and find a Lindbergh signed picture. Congrats on finding all the neat stuff.
I'll give Bob Harder $5 if he tastes some of that old soda pop. The seller defined all that as a shoe box full of stuff? What an exciting score!
What size shoes does this guy wear anyway?????
@@patriciayoung3267 LOL
I love old books.That little coke truck is so cool.
love the old medicine bottles
They were Sizzler sets. A micro mini dress with matching bottoms because the tops were too short! I loved mine, I didn’t weigh 100# yet. Glad I got away with wearing them when I could. 😂
Yes! That’s what we called them in the early 70s. My dad lost his mind, mom showed him the shorts that went underneath the top.
@@carolynmccallum9009 I think a lot of dads were losing their minds with those fashions. Lol
I never heard them called that! That’s interesting - are you in the US? Where I lived, the shorts were the point. They were called hot pants and the tops were made to come down to the bottom hem of the shorts or longer with a slit up the front to show off the shorts. I can see the relationship between hot pants and sizzler sets as names, though.
Yes, I lived in the Midwest but I couldn’t remember what we called them so I asked google for images where they were labeled Sizzlers. Yep, that’s what we called them. They were mostly silky double knit.
We called them sizzlers in Maine as well.
That box of old pharmaceuticals would be perfect for the antique pharmacy that is part of the Burnaby Village Museum! That would be such an ideal home for it.
That jag is absolutely gorgeous never sell that one 🙏🏻
My kitchen is decorated in vintage Coca-Cola. I wish I lived closer to your store so I could swing by and take a look, that roll tide bottle is so neat
Nice collection of hockey sweaters you picked up there.
Lots of stuff that could go in the new store!
I can remember when Pepsi first came out in cans and I can even remember the taste of the first can of Pepsi I ever had. I think it was around the summer of 1961. The taste was so much better than it is today. I don't know why when a product is perfect they keep trying to make it new and improved.
Simple. New and improved means CHEAPER TO MAKE and more profit. Like taking out cane sugar and inserting high fructose corn syrup during the sugar shortage in the late sixties or early seventies. If they get away with it, they keep doing it. However, New Coke failed miserably and they went back to old formula.
@@markpashia7067 Oh I remember well the New Coke fiasco...it was not the same at all. Like trying to improve sliced white bread....it’s fine the way it is.
PEPSI was never perfect. Ugh.
@@dcan911 Actually not the issue at all. Pepsi bottled in Mexico still tastes the same as back then because they still use cane sugar. Hard to find but I grab some when I can.
The black face moving eye clock is from 1933 and can sell for good money if operable.
It looked like the hands were missing... I have no idea how that would affect value.
Yeah, I think so too. I was looking for a comment that mentioned that. I used to collect antiques and I was thinking it was pretty valuable. In the US, anyway.
Bet ya Alex was sweating ice pearls when handling that, its 20XX afterall LOL
Cool stuff Alex.
Great stuff. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Alexander 😀 👍 ❤ 🇨🇦 🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉💯💯
I’m old enough to remember when you had have a can opener to open soda and beer cans. Then the pop top came out in the 60’s that didn’t last long people would open their beverage an toss the ring pull. Then Coors beer came out with a button method on top of the can they were hard to open those didn’t last long either. I don’t know how many chains I had using the pull tabs of the pop tops. You could get a pretty nasty cut if you stepped on one. Then it evolved into what we have today..
love your show, even better then american pickers! Hey theres an idea a TV show called Canadian Pickers!
another great episode and some sweet finds right there $$$
I live in the UK and we used to get a programme called Canadian Pickers. I wonder what happened to them?
There was a show by that name, two guys driving all over Canada buying old stuff. I enjoyed it a lot, maybe there are episodes on YT.
Love the Pepsi finds. Pepsi was invented in New Bern NC USA. My birthplace and hometown. Also the first capital of North Carolina. Love my historic home.
I remember (barely) those old cans you have to open with a bottle opener.
I come from 3 generations of brewery workers, and well remember those rigid steel beer cans. They were surprisingly heavy, and could do some damage if you got clunked in the head by one.
Sadly I remember them well, I am clearly older. Do you remember the ones where the tab to open them was removable? My recollection was they had to be changed because birds were found with their beaks held shut by them and they had died. Was it not a Canadian company that made those?
You need a popcorn popper now! You know you can get repros easily for your new store!
Oh I would love to purchase the Wesley Hymn book! Great find Alex!!!!!!
The light brown purse ,I have one from the 70s ,my husband got in Mexico .
Hand tooled leather purse from Mexico was really something to have. Lucky you!
I kept reading that as “I BOUGHT the wrong car”. 😄
Thanks for the videos!
@25 min. Very nice Mexican tooled leather purse. Excellent leatherwork, saddles, boots, etc from mexico!
Love your shirt!!!
I would imagine the NHL Hall of Fame would be interested in the autographed Philadelphia Arrows mini-poster.
Wow very neat old stuff. The variety was impressive. You're living your dreams . . . I'm happy for you and envious if you at the same time!
I bought a coke bottle, a rock and a coin in every country I went to for my wife while in the navy, it is about all I could afford. I gave told her that no matter where I went I always thought of her and this is the closest thing to the world I could give her.
That is so sweet!
Sweet!
It is not what you bought her, it is that you never forgot her. Awesome.
Your take on “Mother Drops!!” Haha! Oh Mel-lis-sa!!! 🤣 🤣
I love your Jag!
