I can just picture you as a little girl showing your mom the good pieces you'd found. Thanks for sharing who you are with us.
Thank you Dr. Lori! Every single show you have is so amazing!!
❤ I love you and your knowledge
I came here for the Bakelite info and you mentioned FILENES BASEMENT! I haven’t heard anyone mention that in awhile. My mom gave me that job too- quality control. HA! . I studied textiles (college) but I prefer collecting pottery and glass. Branching out into jewelry… SO MUCH TO LEARN!
Oh and thank you for all your videos. I just discovered you earlier this year and now I’m learning so much. ❤️
Thank you..I'm learning ...slowly but surely...so much information in all your videos to absorb!
Wonderful!
You do a great job and I am learning. You are wonderful. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤Zion 🔥
Thank you, Dr lori! I always wondered how a person could tell bakelite from other mediums in jewelry and buttons. Your information about the decanter is great and will come in handy, as well as a couple of the other things that you spoke about here. Thank you for sharing your expertise, once again! Love you always!
Thank you for helping us understand the value of things. I purchased two Tiffany lights from a store about 20yrs ago. They are not the real ones but you mentioned that some fake ones. They could be worth something. I ck for markings. It stated made in China.
You can send me a photo of yours.
Loved the bakelite tip! You overflow with so much knowledge! I am thankful that you share with is.
You are so welcome! Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
Omg. Thanks much. Found some of my grandma's old red handled utensils and was wondering if they might be bakelite! Now I can check, and not ruin them.
Thank you for this video, Dr. Lori!! 💕 Love 💞 learning from the expert!
You are so welcome! Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
I like this better than the appraisals.
Omg! You are amazing. I love your sincerity combine with your sense of humor. Your students must love you or hate you :) I’m a fan!
It’s always appreciated that you tell us safe and easy ways to test objects from “jade” to “Bakelite” bless you
Love this, my Forte is finding the goods I have that eye for vintage
Thanks for sharing

Learned a lot from the expert antique appraiser, Dr. Lori. 👍👍👍
I see a lot of interesting glass & crystal at the thrift stores. Some of it is gorgeous and looks expensive. But often there's no marks, so I can't tell what I'm dealing with. I definitely pick the items up, look at how the light shines thru, look for seams, and tap them to hear the ring.
Please take the time to watch my videos on glass. Many of my thrift shop visits talk about glass too and the myth about tinging glass, etc.
I just fell in love with your channel I’m now a fan❤❤❤❤
Thank you for what you do. Your education is so helpful for us all, and you are appreciated.❤
You are so welcome! Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
I really like the artwork hanging behind you. It is delightful.
Dr Lori. You look great tonight.
Thank You so much Dr. Lori! I watch your video everyday almost all day long at least 6 days per week. Can you do more videos on value of sterling silver with gemstone, vintage jewelry and 10k and 14k gold.

Thanks for all of your videos Dr. Lori. I'm a reseller trying to improve my game to find items with greater net profit potential. I've learned much from you. Looking forward to seeing the results of the online appraisal I requested. Merry Christmas!
Thank you. 🙂
Great info on great items, Dr. Lori, thank you!

Thank you, Dr Lori, for another great video!♡
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
I was told (and have used) "scrubbing bubbles" cleaning spray on Bakelite. No matter the color of the Bakelite object, it will leave a yellow smear on the paper towel used to clean it.
That said, my question to Dr. Lori is: Will cleaning Bakelite (or testing it) with scrubbing bubbles damage the object? I only used it on some thrift store bangles I bought and it didn't appear to do any damage at all so I have told others about it, but if I have unbeknownst-to-me harmed the bracelets, I want to stop telling people about this simple and safe(?) method.
Are you a professional restorer? This is how vintage objects get ruined. Who's your source for this information? It matters who "told" you this information! Be careful.
Thanks for the video and information
" You are who you are from you're 8". True Word...............
Thank you!
We love you awesome video
What is that green plate on the table ?
I discuss it in the video.
You are awesome & amazing!
Very informative. Did we get cut off though it seem like you weren't quite finished yet.

You may have already done this, but could you please do a video on the best places to sell different sorts of items.
I have many videos that focus on reselling and more to come. Have you used my Binge link bit.ly/3c4VPy1 to watch all of them? I also help a lot of people one on one with my video calls to answer their reselling questions about their specific pieces. Video calls can be scheduled on my website.
I have a fascination for buttons. I know they are made of various materials including bakelite. Is there a video on this or can you make one? Is there a market for them as well? Seems like a simple way to make a vintage statement.
I talk about buttons in a few videos. I can also look at yours from photos or during a video call.
What is the green plate on the table ? I found one like it , and can’t find anything about it . Thank you
Send me Photos. Use the form on my website. I need to see yours to verify what you really have.
@@DrLoriV its the plate with the green tree on it on your table in this video...i had the exact same question...please kind dr lori
Why is my ' artistic ' calif 308 - deco pink vase , marked on bottom in reverse .? Letters and numbers are also printed in reverse . ' inscribed ' , not a label.
Need to see to verify. Send me Photos. Use the form on my website.
Ha! See that painting DOES look better that way!
Of course it does... I like the colors and form no matter the orientation.
Who is Dale Tiffany? He has made stain glass lamps with his name engraved on the inside of the stained glass shades.
Do you have a lamp?
Please for the love of god stop making these videos. My house has no room to walk anymore I can’t breathe I hate how I live because my mother sees these videos and thinks everything is valuable now so she hoards and hoards and hoards and now I can’t live properly PLEASE STOP
I can help you and your Mom. Check out the video calls to speak with me.
I know she said the art behind her is by a well known artist, but the colors and overall work is horrible imo.
you are entitled to your opinion.
