Love this video! Wish we could see you pull out every little thing in every box, but I know that would take forever!😅 At one point I was like " wait, where did that monkey come from?"🤣

As a Dutch woman of 67,not been in the war but my parents were..the two little Dutch wooden clogs with all the names,made me tear up a little.🥹

I think I will never get tired of "what's in the next box?". Every box is an adventure. :)

This is going to be a great series. Loving the incredible range of the discoveries so far. From the 1937 coronation to McDonald's Happy Meals from the '80's. Super cool. I've been picking up several unfinished pieces of new and vintage Norwegian handcrafts, but folks don't seem to want to buy them in their current state, so I think I'm going to be spending July and August with a needle and thread. Thank goodness I was raised by a mother who was old enough to be my grandmother and taught me some practical and handcrafting skills. Add to that, Norwegian Post just put up their rates, YET AGAIN, so I have to take into account every 100 grams that might add to the cost of postage. So, sadly, I'm going to have to unpick vintage pillows and take their pillow form out. I have a niche market for my stuff and we do what we have to do, right?

I love watching this, seeing things I haven't seen in many years. I don't collect antiques, I am the antique. Thanks Alex and your beautiful family for another great video.

Nice to have some clean old stuff to sift through instead of the usual bio hazard 😊

Haven't watched in a while, Jason and Abigail have grown so much 👍

The kids knitting machine is a real find. They were so popular with adults that they now make rotary knitting machines for adult crafters. Many yarn or knitting stores have classes and interest groups for rotary knitting.

A dolly to move several boxes at a time would have helped. We have done this on several moves. ❤

How amazing that it is ALL boxed up! And a former antique dealer’s house… it’s going to be VERY interesting.

Always get excited when I see a new post from you Alexander!!! Also Great to see the family with you!!!

I think you did great for $2,000. I love to look through boxes!!

Alex that buy looks like it’s going to be a profitable find!! You paid 2700 for the lot. Already we are seeing lots of fabulous artefacts. This could be so interesting!! Well done Alex!

The saucer marked Embers is probably from the Embers restaurant chain in the US. They were based in Minneapolis and at one point had around 30 restaurants in Minnesota and surrounding states. They had been around for 65 years but the last one finally closed in 2021.

The 'CSM' on the wooden shoe would stand for 'Command Sergeant Major' which is the highest rank of a non commissioned officer (NCO). The 'Command Sergent Major' of the Army would be the higest position to hold... So you'd have the ranks of E1-E4 then it enters the Sergeant status... E5=Sergeant (Sgt); E6=Staff Sgt (SSG); E7=Sgt First Class (SFC); E8=Master Sgt or 1st Sgt (MSG or 1SG); E=9 Sergeant Major (SGM); E10=Command Sgt Major (CSM)..... Hope that helps if you come across other military gear or memorbilia. Looks like a GREAT find. Congrats!

You have these opportunities because people trust you, and not without good reason! Very interesting watching you uncover all these things! ❤ XXX

Mr Alex to me you had the best Father's day ever because you were with your family working on your whole family's business and you're teaching your kids life long lessons

Not one person in the family seems too thrilled with you, Alex 😂

The sailor outfit was CGIT aka Canadian girls in training uniform. The counterpart to Boy Scouts in the 60s and 70s. Those old bottles came out of an excavation probably. It was common practice to throw the bottles down the biffy and 100 years later someone builds a new house and oh look. Neighbor found a 1914 porcelain license plate in mint condition, that way.

You said you guys were unloading the house on Fathers Day. I can't think of anything better than spending the day with your family. As your kids get to be adults you will treasure them more than you ever thought you would.

I enjoy digging through boxes with you. Thanks for your videos.

One of the soldiers was from my town of Okotoks, just South of Calgary!

Almost as fun as watching the video, is refreshing the screen after I finish and see just how many people are watching this morning! Lots of Curiosity Inc fans enjoying this video at the same time. Looking forward to part 2.

Hate to tell you, but if you watch a YT channel called “Below the Plains” you’ll find out that most of those old bottles are actually dug up out of old outhouse pits. It’s actually a kind of neat channel to watch, and just so you know, 100+ year old, long buried, outhouse pits really aren’t nasty any more. Seeing the things he (can’t remember his name now that I need it of course lol) finds can be really interesting. Seen all the bottles Alexander has shown in various videos, but have never seen one of the “poison” ones though. Also seen many glass bowls, crocks, vases, etc. The pits were also used for rubbish disposal. Lots of lamp shades too. Each dig is an adventure and I’d recommend watching at least one.

Geez Alex, invest in a couple of dollies....lol....Soooo many surprises lie ahead !

"1984, I was just a little kid then." Alexander, I think that I have socks that are older than you! Good luck with the auction, I hope that you make a very good profit.

Great info about the Dutch shoes!! I had never heard about that!! Looking forward to seeing what other great things are still to find in the boxes!!! 🥰🥰🥰

So excited about your many projects....the yard is a dream...I was engaged to a guy who had 10 acres and he was actually poor but had a tractor and great creativity...he made a pond, a big curvy road, many trails for walking...etc..., and thinned out trees...etched his address in a huge vertical rock...just heavenly (too bad he wasn't heavenly) but I say go for it, make that yard as gorgeous as can be...God, obviously-Garden of Eden and Gardens and Mansions He speaks of in heaven-loves this kind of stuff!!!

Alex, the "sailor shirt" is actually a CGIT ( Canadian Girls In Training) uniform (also called a middy), an organization that's been around for just over 100 years. Looks just like the one my mum wore in the 1920s and I wore in the 1960s.

My parents did the sorting together and it took a year. Moved to assisted living apartment. Thanked them at the end of every call

Alex, This was a great video. I love looking at all the treasures you find. This looks like it was a good buy. 😊

Hey Alex- after over 30 years in the “junktique” biz, 5 moves, and 8 “ downsizing “ blitzes What I found can be very helpful is having on hand about 4 to 6 hollow core flat faced ( usually ‘70s era-exactly like in the house you’re dealing with in this video ) interior doors. Including maybe 4 hollow core bi fold closet doors. One can stack way more boxes vertically- rather that use up all the floor space. Also, if one is using banquet tables for the sorting surface the angle braces get in the way of sliding the sorting bins in &out. After finishing up a horde/haul project the doors can just fit flat along the wall . I had about a 1400 sq ft house hold & garage packed up -like what you’re dealing with here, - stacked up on 5 steel garage shelving units with 3 hollow core doors - stacked up to over 13’ high. In a 10 x 10 x 16 high storage units. And still had room to sort. I disassembled the steel shelving and store the doors flat along the wall. Always love watching you !

Gosh Alex. That's a huge job. I'm in awe of your stamina. 🙂 Wishing you lots more treasures by completion.

Gettin' geared up for another Curiosity auction! 🙂 *Edited to add: Right on cue, I just got the email notification from Kastner that another one of your auctions has started, ending on July 22. 👍

Congratulations! Another great buy! Not a Sailor suit tho....that's a swimming suit and swimming cap. :)

At 29:52 I once found a vintage mellow yellow bottle fully intact missing the bottle cap that I was able to save right by my house (on my parents property technically). I rinsed all the dirt off and out of it then put it on my porch so my dad could do something with it when he got home. My dad actually ended up selling it for $20 to a local collector who collects bottles. My dad even told the guy who bought it where exactly it was found and that the house was built in the 1960's so that bottle could've been left outside since the person drank out of it in that specific spot where a fallen tree was. I still go there to hopefully find old bottles and things I can save for collectors but that fully intact bottle was worth saving. I even remember finding a fully intact vintage flower pot that my mom started to use after I brought it onto the porch. I love saving things wherever and whenever I can if it's collectible or worth it.

Lovely to have a new mini series to watch, I just get hooked waiting to see what’s in the next one.😊

This was cool! I guess it's a good thing to have more things to keep than to give away! Interested to see what's in the trailer!

It is always interesting to see what Alex will find in each box. I will be waiting for part two.

I still love playing crib too. Nothing to be ashamed of.

My son had the knitting machine when he was little and for Christmas one year he made everyone socks and scarves.

Yay, so exciting! These clear-outs never get old.

I love listening to your descriptions and explanations of the random items out of the box. I started watching your channel years and years ago during the start of The Potters House adventures. At some point I stopped watching and I found myself wondering what you were up to today! And I am so pleased for you to see how your business and properties have grown and changed. All the warm wishes to you Alex!

Crazy how it’s 10 pm and still light outside. Gotta love the great white north!

This is so much fun for me...I love finding treasures !! ❤❤

nice to see different antiques. not just cars and toys.

OMG I had that exact knitting machine when I was a kid. I remember making that twisted hat on the side of the box. Its probably still at my mom's house.

You should more than make your money back just with that Princess Diana beanie baby. It's always fun to see what you stumble across.

Dear Archbold family. 👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for another jackpot! Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

My grandmother and great grandmother were from Nova Scotia, Im 68 now and was raised by them in Detroit. My Grandmothers were very much into the Royals and we had a framed picture of the queen in our hallway.

This episode was certainly a walk down memory lane! Thanks for going through each box and making this a wonderful day. Looking forward to part 2 😊

Alex, a lot of these comments make me laugh. Always telling you how to do what you do! Some don’t give up on the camera thing 🎥 Good people trying to help you ❤ Congratulations on this one and please let us know when and where is the TV show. Thanks

I want the plaque STORY OF THE FROG!!! 🐸 Wooden shoes originated in France--in the northern part of France.

$2700 was a good deal knowing it was from senior collectors! Unboxing is so fun!

Love seeing your family all pitch in. What a wonderful bunch of people you are. You work incredibly hard and I love seeing you still have excitement and enthusiasm for all you do. Watching from England

I would LOVE to do what you do!! I might have some trouble getting rid of things 😬 I think the previous owner may have had the same problem 🤔 I adore retro especially 40-50-60s. Such an awesome era in style!

Much respect. I do appreciate your telling the story of wooden shoes. 319th AMS. USAF Grand Forks ND

I just love that this is a family affair. It's neat that you hire the wife and kids first! I also appreciate how wholesome and respectful you are concerning people's stuff. Most salvage videos are just crass and rude with no respect for the people who lost their stuff or the crew that is helping with the clean up.

This is an amazing series! Looking into unopened boxes??? How cool is that! A true treasure hunt!!! I wish your sorting space was finished, but you are doing a fabulous job even without it. Thanks for the wonderful video! Great to see the whole family! Take care! 🥰

This is going to be very interesting to follow .Anxious to see more of whats in the boxes . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

Yay, another series! Love these videos! Thanks for sharing Alexander and fam! 😊❤

The Coleman lantern reminds me of custard glass. Wouldn’t it be cool if it was?!! Put a black light inside & party while you camp. ✨💛⛺️💡💃🏼🕺🏻✨

27:30 Vintage linens have become very popular. I have seen some of those small pieces with embroidery go for over $15 each. A little lot like the one you threw in donations could be very valuable.

At least its mostly packed up! Now you have to go through everything.

Love the video Alex. I'm sure alot of the royal scrapbook stuff was something people did with their children. Not that I'm Canadian and u would know but seems likely of the time. Sometimes things surprise me too. I suppose being super rich in your Facebook bennie baby group can be valuable. Nice your family could help you on Father's Day. In a way that's a pretty cool gift in itself. Glad your still able to make videos with your other projects. God bless.

Alexander, I love these videos. I get so excited. Can't wait til the next one. Thank you for sharing.

Constantly knitting and crocheting supplies, I love it!.. 😂🧶

Wow, that would be so much fun...going through boxes...finding treasures....organizing....love it!!! I'm jealous!!!!

very interesting finds you must be exhausted! ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yeah , another unveiling. I can feel myself going through the boxes too.

I will never tire of the boxes as well. True every box is an adventure.

It’s always so fun for me to watch you grab more goodies Alex. Your kids are so grown up! Wait til you get into the boxes and see all the incredible jems.

Fun stuff. Surprises in every box!

Another cool adventure!!!!

My goodness what a mixture. Although tiring its fun going through the boxes. Roll on the next video. Xx

Great finds! Thanks for sharing this! 👍

I love these videos, I was so excited to see the notification this morning. Alex makes me laugh when he has mounds of stuff but he got so excited to find those two little cars. 😄 I'm no expert but I think this haul will do very well and Alex will at least double or triple his investment. 🥰

Good score on the Coleman 329 shade! I've never seen a cream one in the wild, the plain white ones are rare enough.

I remember wanting that kids knitting machine.

Alex & Team. You are all so down to earth. I especially love Hans & Zinovia. Take care all. From Australia 😊👍🏻

You found a middy from the CGIT, the Canadian Girls in Training, a church related organization, looks like a sailors shirt

Love going through those boxes with you!

I'm just impressed that Alex keeps his hair looking that good in the rain... 😏

Imagining the emotions involved in boxing up a loved ones entire life, Wow!!!

Cool collection, i hope you find enough to auction to make a profit 😊

Wow Alex, that’s a project and adventure in itself and watching you turn the camera on Steven I can’t get over how much she resembles you the hairstyle everything he looks a lot like you, my dear boy and Abby looks a lot like Melissa I can’t wait for you to start on boxing some of the stuff to see what new treasures you were found to take to the auction house😂❤❤

Father’s Day is a great excuse for having the full crew give a hand :)

Believe it or not Milk glass seems to be making a comeback. And not just the very early stuff.

I really do love the thrill of the find! Its exciting!

Wouldn't hurt to put a lot of those vintage handkerchiefs through the auction - you might be pleasantly surprised.

Dear Alex, can you believe this amazing market niche you master?? So cool!! This service is so needed. Yay you!! You have got a challenge here. Thank goodness it was all boxed up. Will be awesome to get your new sorting building all set up. ... aloha

The Beverly Hillbillies lunch box! That was my grade school lunch box in 1960's. The thermos always smelled of stale milk!

Alex! Always so fun! ❤

That Monkeys mobile is so cool! I love the Monkeys. Can't wait for the next episode. Thank you Alex.

My Dad was a sign painter in the 1940's. He hand painted trucks, advertising signs, a billboard or two, and airport roof signs. He designed them, laid them out and hand painted them. In the 1950's he designed all the signs at Ft. Dix and McGuire Air Force Base. He had a crew that painted them. I don't think any survived as they were one of a kind and mostly out in the elements. He also did some artistic paintings on canvas, which family members still have.

Man, the only thing I truly miss about working at a thrift store is all the cool things you could find (management was horrendous) . This helps.

How nice with a new episode in the family adventure!! Its great to see your family pitching in and helping out!! Truly inspiring!! I hope you get loads of value from all your hard work!!

Now if you found a happy meal in those boxes, that would of been a great find. 😂

My grandad used to say "good things come in small packages but so does poison" love these videos like to see if there is anything I used to have.

Another great one. Now even better, I watch them through my 65".
