    It's interesting to see in the comments how many people have found and viewed this during our Covid-19, pandemic quarantine. Thank you for being respectful to the original owners and not showing the insides of photo albums. Thank you for handling these items with care. I'm hoping this couple just never had any kids, and that's why this got left behind. If the owners did have adult kids, I don't understand why they couldn't take a tiny break from their lives to show some respect to their parents belongings! Respect Your Parents Adult Children Out There!! They deserve that Honor!!✹

    Dear Wade Adventures, I have watched many a storage unit groups and for the most part I have been appalled at the smut, foul language and/or money hungry ingrates that are showing up on CZcams. If any one deserves to be blessed, it's your family. You truly have feelings for the people that has lost their possessions yet, you know that you are running a business and life goes on. Thank you for being a stand-up family that stands for their beliefs and you will be continually blessed. And to you Grandma Adventures, kutos to you for a son that makes you proud.

    FYI the children's oak Wakefield rocking chair is actually not vintage, it's antique. So a tad older than you originally thought. They are worth $549 to $889 each dependent upon its condition. So that was an awesome find. BTW just stumbled on your channel and subscribed because I love the mother son dynamic. Your mom rocks, but I'm pretty sure you already knew that. I'm looking forward to your next upload. Great content.👍😊

    My father in law just passed away recently and one of his sons said to his mother, "Mom just call someone they will come pick up all of that junk". I almost had a stroke......I almost screamed, "NO, that was your dads livelihood". The mom of this man, the wife of my father in law, was so hurt that he didn't want anything from his dad's stuff.....

      You are so right. When my mother died she left a house full of "Things" to be split between my brother, sister and myself. We actually had quite a good time going through it all and sorting it out and remembering stories from our childhood. I kept a set of dining crockery that was my mothers pride and joy and now, even 30 years later I think of my parents with happiness when i eat from it.

    This video reminds me of a time when my husband and I had the opportunity to clean out homes after estate sales. We could do what we liked with the items, but we had to take everything, including the garbage. One particular home sticks in my mind because as in this unit, there were several boxes of photographs and letters - some from the WWII era. I couldn't believe that a family would leave those behind on purpose. It took me several months, but I managed to hunt down a family member who was overjoyed at the find and spent a few hours with me over tea telling me the family story and going home with her memories of a beloved family member. I even took her to my storage area and offered to her that if there were any special dishes or other items from the home she was welcome to take them.
    I'm so glad that you are so respectful to do something similar to what you have here. Also, quit hassling mom! She's doing a good job and she knows a thing or two...

      @@m.t.426, true in many cases. Actually most of the time. But with vintage stuff like electronics tubes that are specific to an application, with patience waiting for the right person to come along needing one, you can really do quite well. I have a very good friend that has accumulated a very large inventory of vintage parts and pieces like this by dismantling broken vintage equipment and the numbers he gets for most of what he sells is quite a compelling argument to his wife to come along for the ride on weekends to go hunting for broken or worn down vintage equipment of all kinds from sewing machines and victrola’s, to old letter press or machine shop equipment. He really does rake in a very impressive retirement income that is completely attributed to selling vintage parts. These tubes are an extremely popular item that draws the high end of the profit map, ESPECIALLY if they are the specific type that music amplifiers are spec’d to use. For those amp building folks creating or modifying a tube driven unit, they will pay a small fortune for true vintage tubes to get the absolute perfect tone from that amplifier!!! If you have ever listened to the difference between a Hammond B3 playing through a vintage Leslie amplifier using either new style or vintage tubes, you would well appreciate why they spend that small fortune. Awesome sound with a noticeable difference in warmth in the tone. đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ˜ŽđŸ‘đŸ»

    My former colleague used to do this when her husband was still alive. They always went to house clearances and cleared out the houses and apartments and sold the things at the flea market. Her husband had a small workshop and he also restored the furniture there. Unfortunately, after her husband's second heart attack, they were no longer able to continue. In the past, whenever I needed anything, I always bought from her. Somehow she always had everything I needed in stock. They bought an old farm and there, in the former barn, they had plenty of space.

    This broke my heart. 💔 This is why I spent one year going through my folks house. Found a lot of same things. Well taken care of because they went thru the Depression and great pride in every dollar earned. This person probably earned 5.00 a month when they started out adulthood. So to see extended family not caring enough to pay storage or to take home and sort through breaks my heart 💔 I am hoping they will be pleasantly surprised (did not know about unit) when you return the heirlooms to them. Probably got put in storage when they went to nursing home or passed away. Guarantee owner did not willfully put into storage. There is a huge difference between making money off the material items and morals returning family heirlooms....
    Photos, Family Bible, Military honors/pins/flight log/flag, etc.. There may even be money hidden in books as folks did back then. I know you will lead with your heart/morals while going through and posting. Feel like this may have been WWII Veteran from age of contents.
    PS Ralli Roots is my weekly watch.
    Ran across you first time today. You will be future watch.
    You and Ryan both sound like respectable, very likable guys.
    Appreciate your words had respect for these treasures. Thanks also for motivating me to got through my stuff and get heirlooms to my family ASAP.

    I know this is old but that first gray box is what is called a real to real audio. My dad used to sell them while in the military. He made voice videos while over seas and sent them to us so we could get news and hear his voice. We would use the same tape and make one for him. I sure wished I had just one with his voice on it now.

    The black box that opened and folded out with all the tubes inside it looks just like the case the tv repairman would walk into our house with when he came to repair our tv in the ‘50’s and 60’s. Back then a tv was an investment and like a piece of furniture. When it quit working the tv repairman was called. He would open up the back of the tv, and often replace a tube inside it with one like in your box.

Once he passed away his wife kept his belongings. she liked music boxes . The first doll you showed was from her childhood. [1910-20's] the flag you chucked aside maybe from his war days. The items in the storage were placed there around 2006 because she had to move into a home. family may have helped move them into the storage unit. but it is more likely that friends of this lady helped her. In time ,she passed away and all was forgoten about. you handled this veteran's air force cap at one point. If I saw more I could have told you more. The photos would tell a lot more.

    The Cutco knife set at 1:03:07 - handles are made of bowling ball material and the blades go through to the end of the handle. I bought mine in 1963, used them daily for 58 years and they still look like new. Worth $$$.

      If any need to be sharpened or if the tips have broken off or bent their warranty is still 100% solid gold! Super easy to do! I love my Cutco's!

      In the late 50s, my Dad sold Cutco Cutlery while he was recovering from a surgery . I swear he must have sold sets of cutlery to all of his brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. The set is worth a mint. In 1958/59, they ere costly.

      I know this video is years old but I have Cusco knee too. You can send them back for repair, replacement or sharpening still to this day. I love mine and nearly jumped out of my chair when he found that whole set! Then the sharpener. There were so many family memories here. 😱
