- Locker Nuts episode 389
I bought this locker for $910 plus fees through an online storage auction website. It looked really junky, but for some reason I just had to have it. After purchasing it, I found out that the owner had passed away some years before. Now I'm really intrigued to find out what he left behind, but I've got my work cut out for me, and this one gets dirty.
So begins part 1 of the "Orange Bag Hoarder" locker.
Here is some of the gear that I use on a regular basis (paid affiliate links):

Broke my heart to see you throw those negatives out. you should return those to the family, too. I found old negatives in my dad's basement and it was like Christmas for me. the photos were lost, but I could reprint them. Very precious!
as a fellow photographer know what ya mean! negatives mean photos, family could at least see them to find out if they would want to print them, WOW. perhaps he reads this and doesnt do that again. negatives mean nothing to most people that dont know, but me and Zelda knows, RIGHT ZELDA?
Outside of personal family meaning there are lots of people who collect old photos, slides and negatives.
I had my wedding photos damaged in a flood beyond repair and I do not have access to the negatives. I also have some pictures of my dearly departed dad that was in there as well.
@@ABCDEFGHIJKELA... But the family had the opportunity to clean it all up and it sounds like they had the means as well. I would have still sent the negatives though.
@@ABCDEFGHIJKELA... .. this made me sad ... “ lots and lots of junk “ ????? Some of those things would be precious keepsakes for his family I bet . I have just a few from mum , grandma , and aunt ...but they mean a lot to me ...
This guy is great. I have no idea how I stumbled in here, but this was VERY entertaining.
I found him the same way!
It’s so sad that when the locker owner passes away and none of his/her kids want that stuff 😢
Agree I was the only one in my family who kept/ sold a lot of my Grandmothers things that the rest of my family didn’t want and would have tossed
Our kids don’t want our stuff. It’s a fact. I had a few heirloom pieces so I gave them to my kids already. That worked.
Hey, you need to protect yourself: buy a box of nitrile gloves & wear them. Don’t touch all that rat poop with bare hands. Enjoyed watching your ‘finds’.
It's advisable that you wear a mask since you found evidence of rat droppings. You're exposed to disease so you dont breath in the toxicity....better safe than sorry bc s hospital stay could eat up any profit after your investment. Also, you mentioned your children....might be wise to wear some coveralls so their not exposed to the toxicity when you pick them up from school...
COVID has brought much more awareness to our health awareness🤔
@@BeverleyMiller_ , very wise advice.
@@BeverleyMiller_ they're * not exposed...
You have been having a great run of lockers lately and I am enjoying it very much along with you and all your other fans. 😁😁😁
Awesome, thank you!
Harrah’s Reno is closed, it’s been bought by an investment company for mixed-use development. Those ash trays may be collectible.
Thanks for the tip!
Agree. Vegas Tokens as well.
I like how you came prepared.
Those few things make a big difference!
I think you should always come with 4 bins and a table:
1. Trash
2. Donate
3. Auction / eBay
4. Personals to Return
Ok, maybe 5...
5. Flea Market (Are you guys still doing these or have you found that they’re not worth your time now!)
And maybe a plastic bowl for change
We still do flea markets, but with Covid and rain and busy family schedules, we haven't done them in awhile. I have 2 storages of my own which are starting to fill up (and you'll see that at the end of this series) with flea market stuff. I'm going to need to go soon! Or a garage sale. We'll film it, whatever we do.
I know you’re probably aware of this, but just in case. The silver coins with the color patina on them are often more sought after by buyers. Especially when you see the rainbow tones. Bag them individually. You don’t want to touch them if at all possible. Best of luck.
Who keeps their precious metals in a storage locker?
Dont touch it pal
Yes, that "old silver" is worth much more than the silver nowadays.
Those Singer sewing machine needles are worth keeping for resale!
My grandparents had an old Singer 🪡 sewing machine. They gave it away when they moved up here, I was Devastated.
Needles are like 5 bucks a pack of 8 lol
R u being serious
@@alanbrennan6199 Yep! The Singers sell well--some very well! And needles in general are getting more expensive.
That vintage yellow electric can opener could bring a few bucks. $40 or $50
Hi Jack 👋🏻! The hammer is for upholstery. It has magnets on the ends and holds the upholstery tacks so you can pound it into the fabric/ wood. The tacks are so small and this keeps you from hitting your fingers.
Awesome! I knew it was something special. Thanks for the info!!!
love the background on previous owners. I think you honor every box you open
You need to wear gloves with rat poop around ! You could get a really bad infection.my husband did when he was cleaning out his shed
And wearing a mask is good too. Even just cleaning a garage, gloves and masks are a must because of mouse poo and it gets in the air when sweeping and such. Scary....hunta virus etc.
I absolutely love how organize you are. I think that’s why I enjoy watching you so much. 😄
You definitely have my sense of humor as well!
Thanks Holly!
Some of the different glass pieces you passed on could be worth a little money, the blue vase in the suitcase looks like a depression glass piece. I have one just like it. If they are numbered on the bottom, it's worth even more. The green bowl with figures on the side that didn't have a marking, was still worth researching. You should learn a little more about glassware so you do not pass on a valuable piece.
90’s is vintage? Damn, I feel old....
Yeah, tell me about it...
Hahahah well vintage use to be anything 25 yearl old, now is 20 so yes, literally anything that is 20+ old is vintage.
Now what you probably are thinking is antique, real antique is 100+ year old, but some people now are using it for things only 50+ year old.
Brass tack hammer, we used in our upholstery business to nail/tacks into old furniture.
Bless your heart I lost a storage unit a few years ago and it had all of my family photo albums among other things and I wish somebody would have contacted me to give them back that would have been amazing I would have even bought my stuff back from them that they didn't want Jovan. Wish there was more people like you out there in the world😊
Vintage Polly pockets can be big money on Ebay
I’d be “gloved up” in a Silicon Valley, Microsoft Clean Suit before I even pop a lock.
This is really my first time watching one of these be revealed and I loved how personable you are and that you respect his family but I agree with the guy you need to wear some gloves LOL
Brenda Culver He will be fine. It builds your immune system
@@morkiesmithful Hantavirus risk with rat droppings...
@@donaldfschiff1229 Mice, too. Their urine as well as droppings.
I really appreciate how respectful you are when going through these lockers. You're one of the good guys.
27:34 Those Nintendo-branded AV cables will work for the SNES, N64 & GameCube.
35:53 That Saints paraphernalia would be worth a fortune here in New Orleans.
The hammer is called a Tack Hammer. They've been around for many decades but never seen one with a brass head. Cool.
The tack hammer is used to reupholster furniture. I did that back in the day and used it and actually still have one.
Stumbled on your channel! Thankful you share your adventures with us. I enjoy your personality.
Thanks for watching!
The avon jewelry even though costume can be worth money.I would love to have the costume and fake jewelry i make new jewelry out of the old stuff
same I buy broken costume jewelry for making new jewelry
The "Ooooh's" are strong with this one.
8:42 hammer is used for upholstery. One side was magnetized . My dad did upholstery several years. He’d fill his mouth with tacks, catch one at a time with the magnet strike once then flip the hammer to drive the tack in . He needed one hand to stretch the fabric, therefore the mouthful of tacks! 😩 I was always afraid he’d swallow one, but he never did.
14:13 shears were the same scissors ✂️ Mom used to cut the material for upholstery.
The bar codes from the Marlboro packs are from the mid 90's. You could choose things from their catalog with them and get some really neat things.
Eisenhower $1 coin is not a sovineer.
Doing a quick search appears that it could be worth a lot of money. Last of the dollar coins.
Ebay listings seem to range between $20 and $15000. Depending on year and grade.
Yes I said $15000.00
WOOOOOW
People sell dog turds on ebay for $500 you can't base the value of something on a site like ebay
Not too bad so far Jack... Certainly will get much better as you get back further into the unit... Well done... Stay safe homie...👍💞🔥⚾😷
Thanks 👍
The owner of this storage is from Philippines, because of the Old centavo coins. The coins have a value in the Philippines for collection.
There are some countries that uses centavo. Like Bolivia and Mexico, not only Philippines.
@@greyhound785 do they 10 centavos in 1910 with a liberty on it? Philippines has since we are still an American colony on that year
MAYBE HE WAS A TRAVELER BACK IN THE DAY !
Yes, use to be able to save Marlboro ends for points to get awesome cool stuff . Got a huge gas grill , camping set, 2 extremely large coolers, and steaks for days with mine
That million dollar gold thing was from Publishers Clearing House
If you are not sure something is gold, does it look like melted butter? Higher gold content the more honey butter it looks. Plated silver can look like an oil slick. The brass underneath with the silver plate causes that. Just some info I gleaned from somewhere...lol. Way to go so far on this locker!
Green trim bowl with white figures on side could be Wedge wood.
I thought that too.
It is something collectible that I recognize but he threw it in donate box.
Well if you lived closer I'd be walking away with that little red wagon!
Glad to see a fan,hope there is an outlet,so you can use it .
Some units are very organized and some just thrown in Most of the units are Worth,what you pay and more.
That Jean Nate powder is $199.00 on Amazon. Couldn't give that shit away in the 70s.
Green glass bowl that you donated was Jeannette Glass Wedgwood Roman Greek Green, White & Gold Trim Large Bowl 8 3/4"
I know this video is 2 years old. Wow! Jack! You have lost TONS of weight! Congratulations! You look great! 8/25/2023
Jack, i have heard that those straight razors from Germany can be worth upwards of $300.
Nice! I sure hope so.
Guayabera is Originally a Cuban shirt design. Pleats running down the front, square bottom With side slits worn untucked, Pockets. Either cotton or linen semi to formal wear.
Dang! That hat really suits you, Jack!
6:44 These bills are a chinese tradition. You burn them on big holidays in hope for dead family members to receive them and have enough money in the afterlife (and no, "Hell bank" doesn't mean they assume everyone goes to hell, it's a translation error and would be more like "afterlife bank" or "paradise bank"). It's worthless, but you could burn it for fun. Hope that helped.
The Hammer is a upholstery hammer at the begining
It can also be used as a jewelers hammer
The hammer is for use in upholstery. One end is magnetic to hold the tack, and set it into place, then you use the larger end to drive it in. I used one for years when my parents had an upholstery business.
My dad was an upholsterer way back and I was going to say this too. The only thing I'd like to add is that the tacks came in a little bag, sanitized, I hope. Because he threw a bunch into his mouth and manouvered each one out to dispense as the magnet end of the hammer repeatedly was brought to his mouth. He placed the tack with a little tap, flipped the hammer and tapped it into place. All the while he was getting another tack ready to be dispensed.
I purchased a dining room set from a good friend of mine who sold it to me for $100. The woman who gave her the dining room set had it in storage and paid $90,000 in storage fees for thirty years to store it. Do the math was it worth it to hold on to a memory when you no longer can allow it to see the light of day?
Look at those first few boxes they remind me of the sorts of things that somebody would gather up in their car and then when they clean the car out they just throw everything into a box. If you ever bought my storage unit you would find several boxes like those.
A suggestion, for lockers that was used by hoarders or elder people that will also keep and sometimes hide that much valuables. If you have an extra metal detector, run them over the stuffed animals. Especially the older ones stuffed animals or dolls. Wouldnt be the first heirloom hidden in one. If they have cuts or have been sown back up. Dollars fit in books diamond earrings don't as you know. Great content boss.
The toy car looked like a matchbox redliner- super collectible!!
21:30 Tempe, Arizona that's the city next to the sun... flipping HOT!
Yes I have a mate whom lives iover there looks a beautiful city the weather is hot as hell
This motivates me to get my shed gone.
Me too. First time here though.
Those Marlboro barcodes were for a contest. They were holding a contest and if you won you got $25k or more. My father used to collect these hoping he’d win.
I would love to purchase the vintage Saints glasses and Christmas ornament!!
The shears are also used in upholstery. They are great fabric shears.
The hammer looks like an upholstery hammer to recover furniture
The hammer is a upholstery brass tack hammer for driving those brass tacks you see in mostly leather furniture pieces. One end the small end is a magnet for picking up the tacks out of box and the other is lead which is a soft metal that doesn't damage your tacks while driving them.
Be careful with the costume jewellery! Vintage stuff from pre-1980 can fetch a good price, even the plastic stuff. And if it's marked with a maker, it can be worth serious money. That tea set box you looked through, some of that was late 60s-early 70s.
Great potential in this locker hope you find more goodies💕💕
Me too!!
Upholstery hammer
Cigarette box sides with UPC code were collected and redeemed for great gifts... T-shirts. Tents. Coolers. Bags.. Basic cigarettes did the same. When I was a smoker, I had friends save the empty packs and got a lot of goodies! (Quit smoking 12 years ago!
I got a dart board with the marlboro miles I saved up.
You had some things worth money you didn't realize. You need to take the "donate" pile to get them appraised. I saw a few you were giving away, that are collectibles.
Older costumer jewelry can be worth a lot of $$$$. Don't donate it!
Jack please stop throwing away all the vintage matches and ash trays they are very collectible 😕 plus the vintage can opener electric should sell for 30 to 40
Nancy I don't know why you think I throw those away. I'm pretty sure I mentioned multiple times that I'm making a match book lot for our live auction. I have a huge box of vintage ashtray but I haven't auctioned them because it's not as big a market as I'd hope. I donate a lot of the other stuff.
@@LockerNuts I see you had some saved but we were watching and you threw a bunch away also, just love you guys want to see you make as much as possible 💕💕
@@LockerNuts l
yep..i remember watching in another vlog..some vintage matches...he bought it in a super expensive price
Brass hammer: Jewelry or Prospecting. I facet semi-precious & precious gemstones up to 3.5", (up to sapphire. Special laps for Diamonds). I also repair faceted stones, and/or repolish - except for Opals. Usually get chipped. I prefer owning it, while working on it, difficult to see if stone is chipped or fractured. But I've cut several successfully, so keep me in mind, please. I also solder, repair rings - make new, or can wire wrap in whatever you like!
I've no qualms about melting down junk silver, gold, etc, casting it.
I have thought of bidding on lockers near me, but there's only me, no one else to help me. I only know vintage jewelry to present, gems, handmade & costume jewelry. Along w/kids collectibles, coin collections.
Ever need an extra honest opinion, I am around in OC, CA.
The hammer is for upholstery. One end is magnetic. I think I paid $20. For mine.
Works on snes and gamecube. We have many lol
Anything from harrah's is collectable I live in reno nv and harrah's had been sold and being turned into mall /apartments
That powder brand is pronounced NAH-TAY.
Marlboro used to say "miles" my the bar code, you could collect miles and buy things with the miles you collected. the only reason i know is because i use to be a Marlboro smoker and would collect the miles.
I forgot about that! I got a backpack and a few other things I can’t remember.
Your humor is the best. Keeps me laughing.
38:18 There was a movie about Halston recently with Ewan McGregor in the titular role - those organic minimalist bottles were highly sought after, they were designed by jewellery designer Elsa Peretti, a big deal back in the day. I wonder if this bottle you've found holds any value?
Jack,
That's an "interesting locker" , that is no guarantee of moolah, but it looks like you may have around 400 so far...
Can't wait for the next opening!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Wait until the next episode... cha ching!
I like finding old matchbooks and collecting them.
It is unbelievably absurd how one human-being can accumulate in his/her lifetime and it is all left behind never to see the light of day
Makes it clear what really matters in life.
My parents had the same glasses as that green and white glass bowl, so 60's early 70's. I was born in 1963 and remember those glasses as a kid. I think they might have been bought with those stamps they use to give you back in the day at gas stations or supermarkets but not 100% positive. Another funny thing was the Bob Stupek matches and Vegas World pin. Bob Stupek owned Vegas World Casino at the end of the strip. That is where I stayed when I went to Vegas to get married in 91. The Stratosphere is now there which they started to build in 1992.
I watched video 2 first and now I am just sad. I hope he had a good life and is resting in peace.
Great video once again x
Please keep safe and well x
Thank you! You too!
When you find that much change up front you know your gonna have a great haul.
Also N64 and the GameCube used that same A/V cable. It was used throughout 3 gens of Nintendo systems. From the SNES, N64, and GameCube. Hope that helped.
Basic edition jeans where sold by kmart. They are not vintage. I always paid less then $13.00 per pair. Best fitting jeans ever.
The struggle to ID the camera made me LOL...
You paid 2k for the locker: "...There's a quarter."
No rubbish furniture.
Your 10 year old humor, cracks me up!
we used to save the bar code from cigarettes and trade in for merchandise...years ago when I smoked...got some nice stuff with them
Marlboro miles!!!
@@donnajackson9614 yep!
Shucks I remember those times lol...I remember getting air rifles of the back of comics that could put a hole in tin from 100 yards away ...and chemistry sets that u could do all sorts of crazy stuff with...the good ol days
Great start to this one Jack
Keep the leather gloves on.
What is the point of owning items (if) you have to put them in a locker never to see the light of day and be encrusted in rat poop. Hold on to items of sentimental or monetary value and let (all) the other items go to a yard sale, church sale, thrift donation, or just put it to the road for some bystander to enjoy.
I'm glad there are still people that will buy crap...It makes me glad I have 1500 sq ft of storage space with decent stuff...
I appreciate the care you take in checking items out
Stop throwing away Marlboro miles. They sell on eBay, so do matchbook lots
Thanks for watching Randy.
I need to check that out!! I have Lots of Miles lol
@@LockerNuts Jack the tiny knife looks like a fruit knife.
Thanks for the tip! My brother has a ziplock full of those somewhere.
Vegas World is now the stratophere
Back in the day you sent the Marlboro Sides in to MLB for stuff like t-shirts or ash trays.
You can use that little stepladder out by your truck to sit on then just take it back to the truck when you are ready.
Libby just closed their doors here in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Jack,
The "LOW DENOMINATION " (50,25,10 cent) casino chips ARE VALUABLE, obviously the casinos will vary, put ALL casino stuff TOGETHER.
Best of luck, Ron.
Will do. Thanks!
That little brass hammer is for upholstery tacks.
You need to educate yourself on collectables, saw a few items you cast aside. Older Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars are worth money. Especially Redline Hot Wheels. They have a red ring on the walls of the tires.
