I took my mother’s/grandmother’s antique butter churn as flight carry on ! I got stopped at security and the young man was much in doubt about letting it pass. Before my tears came out, an older tma came by and peeked and said, “That’s a butter churn; it’s fine.” I was so grateful for her! It made it home safely!

Really bad day yesterday. My wedding anniversary and anniversary of my husband's passing 6 years ago. Your videos make me feel better . Thank you.

Just to let you know, I have that pink Pyrex set with four bowls, not a mark on them, also a brown set. Got them for a wedding present in 1964 and have used almost weekly. Mine don’t chip or fade, although I have seen some faded. You wouldn’t have worried about taking them home in a paper sack. They made things to last then!

Hearing the floors creak as you walk around the old store buildings brings back childhood shopping memories of the 5 and dime stores. My aunt had one of those rotating lamps with a waterfall picture. Possibly because she worked in the lamp department of a large 5 & dime store. Gazed at it for hours as a child.

my grandmother was a Rosie the Riveter except her name was Ruby and they called her Ruby the Riveter instead lol cool piece of history for u from someone who not only knew a riveter but is closely related to one ...i was so very proud of my grandmother she was a strong , independent woman well before it was accepted and she laid the ground work for the women in my family to be successful independent women ...she was mighty special she even told stories about the Oklahoma land run b/c her mother was in it and helped settle Oklahoma ... which is cool but also sad to think about... cool b/c of the way they gave land away through a race... but very sad b/c the land was already occupied and they ran off the original owners the Indians and they mostly perished b/c of that loss they suffered tragically ...either way its history and very interesting ..we learn from past mistakes and i pray to god that anything like that never happens ever again ...

If it makes you feel any better, that set of bowls was incomplete. It's missing the smallest bowl. I have my grandmother's set just like that and there are 4 bowls in the set. Thanks for taking us along with you. So much fun!

Great stuff Alex!!!

Fun to shop with you Alex! Going antiquing or even just thrifting is one of the best pastimes, because just as you say, you can’t help but imagine the lives that go with the items.

Loved your videos for many years, thank you Alexander!

The pink bowl! I have the set and quite a few of the matching refrigerator dishes.

The first shop kinda reminded me of your old shop, lots of cool finds. great decor.

Didn't mean to stay up so late, but I get to see your video early!

Hello Alex good to see you again 👍🌈🦋❤️🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Those campaine buttons are reproductions from 1972. They had a blue plastic frame. Worth about $30.

Thanks for sharing thoroughly enjoyed wandering around with you. Was like a history lesson as well. Roll on the next one. Xx

One of your best videos!

I really like your videos! : ) I think about who possibly parted with certain item. Had the good fortune to find a 1914 Panama Canal commemorative plate that was given out to the customers at a dry good store in 1914. All I had to go by was to decipher the name on the store’s sticker. For $3, I. now own a piece of history that affected international trade. Another recent beauty was a piggy bank was given out to customers when a certain bank opened on “that” location in 1977. Luckily for me, I used Google lens to track down two pictures and found the info. : ) A practical beauty for $6.00. : )

That was a cool little series of your visit to Colorado. Such a variety of interesting and eclectic items. Thanks for bringing us along with you as always. 😊

That pink Pyrex bowl set is just like I used to have. Sure brought back memories. Sorry you missed a good deal!

I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!

Awesome show. You need to come to Vegas on a trip. Seriously we have a TON of various Estate sales on the outskirts of "The Strip". Sooooo many collections from all over the World.

Absolutely nothing like going antiquing!

Awesome

Alex.... I'm surprised that you missed the Saskatchewan License plate that was to the right of the dog racing sign.... LOL

Looks like that gas pump was a 'Phillips 66' - the original logo had the '66' slanted to the right a few degrees. I actually visited Frank Phillips' ranch in OK a number of years ago - very interesting museum and collection of early Colt firearms too!

Many years ago in England, my friend married a very unsavoury character. He sold off all her mums antiques, stole things, and lied about everything. It broke my heart as my friend was the gentlest, kindest lady you could ever hope to meet. He started up a small business and used to buy old pine and wood furniture and used to strip and repolish them. One day he knocked on someone's door and bought an old chest from them, might I add, for a song! He stripped all the embellishments and decoration of it and waxed it, and tried to sell it to an antique dealer. The dealer asked him if it was decorated when he bought it and when he told him that he had stripped it all away the dealer told him that he had just completely ruined and devalued a piece of furniture that dated from the 17th century. It was worth nothing anymore. I couldn't help thinking that karma might have been involved!

Pyrex is very good find.

The Gooseberry Pyrex was priced well. Someone no doubt made off with them in short order. 05:35 Some of pins might have been repro, but the chunk of Murano glass sitting in back of them was real. 08:52 When I was really little, about age three, my grandparents had a refrigerator with the coil on top just like the one behind the pump. It probably came with the house when they moved in, in 1946. (the replacement was avocado green.) Bet with a little tinkering that thing would run just fine.

I saw an old brown bakelite radio that's almost identical to the one that I inherited from my parents. Theirs was from the 1940s. It still works too; I can get about two local channels on it.

Ooh I saw a squash blossom necklace in the Mezzanine store’s display! I wonder how much they were asking. Those necklaces are usually very pricey, rare and very desirable.

I enjoy watching your many adventures. Thanks for sharing your antiquing while you were in Colorado. It’s been fun watching🥰👍

Oh the gooseberry pyrex pattern. I've been looking for a deal lol. Yeah right that won't happen. Neither my mom or my Nonie had any Pyrex.

You passed right over the rare medium green Fiesta platter 😮

I have a full set of the gooseberry pink refrigerator dishes from Pyrexx. I have used them daily for years and they still look just as good as the day they were gifted to me. I would love to have the bowl set but Out of my price range

Love browsing along with you, so much fun. Thanks for bringing us along.

I love the videos of your travels. I hope you took home a souvenir for Melissa.

My grandma had a rotating light. It was a forest fire with deer and other critters escaping it.

That first store was great. It's a good job that there's an ocean and a large land mass between me and it because my acquisitive desires outstrip my means.

❤

Alexander you never cease to amaze me, did you see any interesting vehicles whilst in Colorado ?

Anvils! Difficult to bring home in your carryon . . .

My family had a log cabin when i was a kid. All the unwanted items ended up there. The pyrex bowls, old metal or tin cups, washing machine that was round and had a washboard and a ringerouter lol. All very valuable stuff now. So sad it was treated like an afterthought.

Great items, thanks for sharing ❤

This time of the year always makes me think of the potters house clearance,,,,,,hope you do another one soon

Alex FYI if you buy anything big you can always take it to a UPS store and they can ship it home before you I've done that before

Omg that lamp! I remember when I found your channel feb 2019 I contacted you hoping you might come across one! My grandparents had the winter scene one. Some day I’m going to find one to call my own!! Great video!!

Your Brother Steve is a cool guy, and definitely shares much in common with you. I think that gas pump wouldn’t fit your carry on lol. My Gran had that exact same motion lamp, I loved it as a kid.🖤🇨🇦

fun

That was really cool going through that shop with you😊

I brought home a LARGE porcelain egg, (14” tall) all the way home (USA), from China in my carryon totally unscathed. Those Pyrex bowls could’ve made the trip easily.

I haven't watched you in awhile. I tend to not gravitate toward " mantiques" and wished you'd looked at the linens and Lucite grapes. I really liked the campaign buttons, though .

Great video

Love looking with you, amazing ...thank you...🥰🥰

My aunt's first husband was Andrew James Thompson. He would have enjoyed owning that trunk.

wonder if the mezzanine store used to be a theatre, and you came in where the stage would have been

Alexander, Those stores remind me of how you set up in the "old" days. You know what "they" say about hindsight being 20/20 but the Pyrex are ceramic, after all...oh well... next time. Cheers, Rik Spector

I love Pyrex!

I definitel would've bought the pink Pyrex. My cousin has a restored gas pump outside his garage.

Alex my darling. I love going into antique shops. So much to look at and admire. I would love to go antique shopping with you. Thank you for the opportunity to see your adventures. Until next time. Please, my love take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺😇🌹🇺🇸🌞❤️🙏👍🌈🕊🎃🧛‍♀️

Can't believe he passed on the bowels. I would have bought them, packed them myself carefully (wouldn't be that hard, especially for someone like him) & shipped them back home before I left. Oh well... Someone else will get a great deal.

A Phillips petroleum pump ⛽

I would love one of those metal disk players but $3,000 is out of my budget😬

I just contacted an Auctioneer. Time to move things out that I am not using and my kids are not interested in.

How do you ever know you are at the right place if you never know who you are going to meet ?

Alex that radio looks like a shortwave receiver. Hallicrafter never made CB radios, they only made shortwave receivers, ham gear, and radios for the military during WWII and Cold War!

The bowls would have made a nice gift for his wife for the new kitchen

Why...why did you give us only a cursory glance at the fabulous green glass lamps? You are such a guy looker.😉

next trip to Colorado, bring a small box truck for your antique shopping...! Forget the infernal airports, airlines...!

@10:56 silver and turquoise tobacco blossom Native American necklaces!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bye for now from New Zealand.

This is what I hate about stores like this, outrageous prices... damn more expensive than ebay

I am watching your VW on Bring a Trailer. Up to $500.00.

You can SHIP UPS to Canada

I thought y'all sold the shop. Did I misunderstand?

😊

Leave your clothes behind and take more good stuff with you! You can always buy more clothes ;-)

That Pyrex set isn't worth what they're asking. They can be had sub-$100. My mom used to have that set and many, many more...

First?

It’s not to expensive to send things through the mail

Those campaign buttons are the reproduction by kleenex in 1968. They did a good set that has been being mistaken as real every since.
