Wow ! Wow! Wow ! Have you ever been blessed Alex! It appears, as if you have reached the very pinnacle of your career ; the fruits of your labor! When I see this in a person achieving so much success, I totally relate it to their parents. You were given a lot of creativity and leeway in your growing up years . I’m not a mentalist,but I am a mental health professional and when I see this, I definitely attribute it to how a person was raised. You have created a lot of enjoyment for your subscribers and a lot of success for the people you buy from and your family. Congratulations! Hats off to Alex !

Leo Lunde was the head coach for Finnish Icehockey league team Ilves in 1971-1972 and they won Finnish Icehockey championship that season. Later he was head coach for the Finnish International team and they came 4th in Icehockey World Championship in 1973. That's why he has those Finnish shirts and medals. He then returned to Edmonton Oilers as a player for one more season in '73-74.

I love that you appreciate finds not only for their monetary value, but for their historical value as well. It’s a joy to see you go through items with wide-eyed awe. ❤

That book is a Norwegian hymn book. Specifically, Landstad's church hymn book. It was used for a long time, and had a revision published in 1926. This revised version were the official hymn book until 1985. Landstad also wrote many hymns, though most of the hymns in his book were Danish or German hymns, with Norwegian lyrics.

5:05 I'm not a seamstresses but I believe that gadget is for hemming. Pyrex Starburst is what you were trying to think of. Great finds.🇨🇦

What a life he lived. Doing what you love pays off. ❤

Västra Frölunda is a hockeyteam in the Swedish league. "Mora" is a town in Sweden with a great hockeyteam, but not in the highest league called "Elitserien" (the elit league). If you have any question about Scandinavian words,teams or terms, just send me a mess and I will be more than glad to help.

You did this Edmonton boy good, Alex. What a history lesson about a kid who represented so many different teams/communities/people. I really appreciate you for how you teach us about history, even correcting yourself mid-video. Love that you weren't as concerned with the gold $$ as you were with the significance of the piece. Thanks from Vancouver!!!!!

I'm not into sports collectibles & I still watched this all the way through. Mr. Lunde had quite a career.

Great hockey history.. my husband and his family are huge hockey fans, players and historians of all things hockey. ❤❤❤

I had a Crissy doll. You were not supposed to cut her hair. She had a button you pressed and her ponytail would retract back into her head.

Oh my Ken! Oh my Alex, you are hilarious! 😂

Total time capsule of legendary hockey history! Loved this video Brother Alexander. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🇨🇦🏒♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Mr. Lunde had quite the illustrious hockey career! Good job, Alex.

I had a Ken doll whose arm fell off every time I played with it. His head as well. My Barbies ended up being played with by many a daycare kid and one day kens head went home in someone’s diaper bag. The parent had a good laugh and texted me a picture of it that evening when they came across it. I love watching you go thru all the Barbie stuff. I’ve been trying to track down some of the doll clothes my mom made in the eighties as I think most of mine ended up in an auction box (grampa was a big auction fan) and sold for a few bucks. Some day somewhere I’m sure something will turn up. I have a few things that were spared for some reason but the majority of my Barbies and accessories mysteriously disappeared. I still have my mothers old midge doll that she purchased in the year midge came out, so she could learn to sew her own Barbie clothes for her younger sisters. One thing I learned is that playing outside with an old hard plastic style barbie in a minus thirty Saskatchewan winter will ultimately result in the doll losing her toes. True story! Midge lost her red nail polish on the Tompkins school playground back in the early eighties. It was devastating to six year old me!

A A thank you for taking the time to show us things we would never get a chance to see.

Wow what a blast from the past, Len had a great career didn't he, Detroit, Chicago in the greatest era of professional hockey with all the great players, I was born in 1960 so it's right up my alley, Terry Sawchuk was my favorite player and probably one of the best goalies ever, can't wait to see the stuff when you decide to allow people to purchase it, thanks Alexander.

Omg..”the cat looking in the mirror” brooch,I love it so much!😍🐱

ICA is a big supermarket chain in Sweden. Hedemora and Stora Skedvi are towns/villages in Dalarna .

Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame and hockey museum is in Tampere. Hometown of Ilves. I'm sure they would be interested of some of this stuff.

Very nice archive. Some real gems in there.

That’s not Twiggy, it’s Liza Minelli. A pink Liza Minelli Carousel wig box (lol, I guess you didn’t recognize the face on the box… 😅)

Hi Alex, Thank you for all the videos. Wanted to point out that the gadget is ot a "shoe sizer". It is used by garment makers, for marking the length of hem when making a skirt.

Good afternoon Alex, the brooch made in France, might be a Lea Stein piece. She made all kinds of funky brooch. They do sell well for good money. Take care.

Just an aside, what you called a shoe sizer is a skirt hemmer. It assured that the hem was even as you moved around the skirt with it. 😘

Oh my goodness!!!! I have that disco doll. I had no idea you stood it in the Record player. I have the Chrissy sold too!!!

That Bay coat isn’t from the 50s fyi. The Hudson’s Bay tag on it up is more like circa late 70s/ early 80s. The tagging gun that produced that sticker tag wasn’t invented until the 70s. (Yes I used to work retail in the 80s 😂)

Very nice collection of hockey history. I think the auction for these ítems will be well attended. I enjoyed this video. 🙂🙂🙂

Oh my goodness! Great finds! I would be so tempted to not have that brand new old stock jacket dry cleaned.

Nice!!! 💓💝💘❤💖 watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!!!

The little cat looking in the mirror is so cute.

26:15 CCCP = SSSR in the Cyrillic alphabet which we called the USSR or Soviet Union for short, the reverse side reads (in Russian) World Hockey championship Moscow 1973

As a finn watching this - mind BLOWN!

I DO have a dictionary that is even larger! It was always open in my mother’s pantry and we were told to “look it up” if we asked how to spell something.

We had a dictionary just like that growing up and Mom used it as a booster seat for the younger kids to sit on at the dinner table LOL

What an interesting collection. I hope you find an awesome home for them . Some museum or Hockey Hall of fame type place . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

That's a cool collection. I hadn't heard of Mr. Lunde before. Seeing his personal collection and you telling his history made it fascinating. I was a kindergartner when he started pro playing

Thank you, Alexander, for sharing your finds! So interesting! 😊

It was fun hearing the names of so many players, I d long forgotten. As a kid, I knew the stats of most of that Blackhawks team. So long ago.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love hockey!!

7:25 mark.....NOT Twiggy, it's a Vintage Hot Pink Liza Minnelli Carousel Wig Box!

Incredible collection.

Alex, get in touch W/The Hockey Hall of Fame. I’m sure they’d love to get some of both the NHL & Intl Memorabilia. Perhaps even your local Sports Hall of Fame about the Edmonton Flyers things. I can’t believe the Family didn’t think of donating some/most of the Hockey Collection to the HHOF. That’s where they belong. Both Mom & I watched this in disbelief. I mean…Their Dad played w/how many Legands!?! I”d have been keeping that at least. Do not get it. Anyway…Please consider getting in touch W/the respective Halls & see if they want anything. They reallly are the places they should be going to. Take Care!!

The mini "Barbie" was what we called "Dawn" dolls, loved those!

I had a double take when the Finnish jersey's came on, so I had to google Len Lunde. Your pronounciation of ilves was close, you just also have to pronounce the E. It means lynx in Finnish, which is why it's their emblem. In Suomi you seemed to switch the u and the o for some reason. CCCP means the Soviet Union.

That was very interesting to watch. I enjoy your videos and I'm watched more of Melissa's that she's posted, it's been fine. Posted it's been fine😊

Thank you This brought back so many memories.

Watching from Detroit. Love all the Red Wings memorabilia.

Wow, he was busy! Thanks, Alex😊

Awesome again 🎸🎸 🎸🎸

This stuff should go to a museum

The metal legs with a ruler attached is used to measure the hems of dresses and skirts. When they measured from the garment bottom to the floor.

I have relatives in Finland. My grandmother knew them. One of them wrote a book about the family.

You make everything so interesting. I’m not much of a hockey fan but I did love to watch when it was only a few teams.

Good history items

Very nice collection ❤

You might want to check up with Swedish and Finnish collectors on some of that for a good deal.

Very cool collection! Not too many players reached his level. 💖

The thing you said was a shoe sizer, is for hemming a dress. I love your sense of humor! You always make me smile! Great videos!

Nice little haul ❤

Very cool! I have a few Chrissy dolls and a couple of Cinnamon dolls too. One of the Cinnamon was mine from when I was a kid. My Ken looks like that, minus the talking part. His leg falls off too 😂

Nice vintage Howe photos.

My Dad was good friends with many of the players of this time period - many who were members of the old timers. He golfed with many and did business with many in off season. My dad would have loved to see this stuff.

Kesoil jacket looks nice, hello from Finland!

I've been waiting and waiting for you to find a Chrissy doll. I wanted that doll so bad and got it for xmas one year and totally wore out the mechanism for the hair.

Nice jackets, Frölunda in Gothenburg Sweden :) Where im sitting now.

Your sho sizer is a seamstress hemmer for hemming the bottom of apparel pinned lines for folding than sewing. A white type marker can also be used for making the line (chalk like).

Great find❤❤

Thank you

Len Lunde played with the Minnesota North Stars for some time which I think is super cool since I live in Minneapolis, MN.

“How was your weekend Ken?” LOL!

These items definitely deserve to be in a museum!

Wow.. I had a Chrissy Doll, but threw it out. I still have that Ken and that Malibu Barbie with the blonde hair… with her original bathing suit, and with some with some clothes…they’re both from the early 70’s, around 73.. I had a beach buggy, but it got destroyed, and I was so upset. I also still have an Angie doll or (they were like small versions of Barbie dolls)… I have some Flatsy Dolls and a little car for one, but missing the motor cycle for the other… seeing that stuff reminded me that I have those things in my closet

Thanks Alex!

cool collection

Thats a very good point about the dictionary. I never thought of that.

My brother had that hockey sticker book in the early 70s when we lived in Edmonton. I remember my dad bringing home the stickers when he gassed up at Esso. Bobby Hull, Geordie Howe and Bobby Orr were the prized stickers.

so many treasures!

Ilves are my hometown hockey team. Cool stuff!

Wow! Ihad one of those record player dolls, mine had dark hair.

CCCP stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. As you pointed out in the video, lol. You might do well with this stuff in the Vintage Sports Memorabilia sections of eBay or Etsy.

Oh i would love to have a picture of him playing drums

I believe the doll in the Twiggy box is a Dawn doll. Why aren't you using your new building to sort these items? Isn't it done yet?

The Landstad salmebok is a norwegian origin! 🥰

Detroit subscriber, checking in to see early Wings finds!

That was fun I learned a lot thanks 😊

Great video 😊😊😊

There was a teenage doll who had hair that would grow. Her name was tressy. Her hair could grow by pushing a button and then you could wind it back in as well.

CCCP is the Sovjet Union.

Nice haul.

Good Saturday afternoon everyone

What a sweet haul! This is so cool how well photos, clothing, medals, trophies, and jewelry all tie in so well! Congrats! I do have a question~ Do any of your auction items/lots have a minimum? In other words, if no one bids high enough, you keep it until you get the price you want? Thank you, B

I have a Giant Websters Dictionary like that! Came out of our old high school library after the building caught on fire. Was a 3 story brick building built in the 20s.

You found Weird Ken!! LOL

Great video! Would love an update on your car collection soon! Is that a yellow Alfa in the background?

How could family not want those medals!?

I’m always intrigued to see what albums you find especially looking to see if Gordon Lightfoot is included.

I believe the medal in the frame goes with the blue box that the necklace was in…

The Complete Oxford English Dictionary is 20 volumes. That's a whole lot of words.

I didn’t play with Barbie dolls as a child, but I did have two of the Rockflowers dolls.
