    Exclusive Shopping in Huge Forgotten Antique & Vintage Warehouse!



    We get to pick an antique dealers’ warehouse that hasn’t been open in years! Thanks to @CrazyLampLady and our hosts @BernerBrotherAntiques, we’re getting a very special chance to see and pick from true antiques, valuable vintage and a huge pile of fun things that have been hidden here for ages. It’s like a giant estate sale, just for us!

    This space is huge, so much to take in here! If there’s one, there’s a shelf full…rows of Scandinavian trunks and Chinese wall panels, a clump of 1860s copper luster, piles of paper ephemera and showcases of art glass and porcelain…where do we even start?

    I start my pick with a dragon handled copper luster teapot, a cigar shaped Murano bowl and some handsome bookends. Meanwhile, I’m helping Jocelyn pile up some really pretty Fenton (I’m getting a collection soon, so that’s all for her), and marveling at her great taste in Victorian glass, Wavecrest and so many other pretty things she’s found!

    One man’s “death pile” is another man’s treasure, so I’m off to scour more goodies, and the sheer volume of true antique pieces is testing my knowledge! How do we tell if this Armorial bowl is really 18th century? What firm made these amazing sculpted poppy plates? We even review a 90-year old antiques publication to see what our forebears were looking for in their antiquing…can we find any of those things in here?

    In the end, we get to reveal a lot of wonderful antiques and vintage to you that are not currently available to the public and won’t be for some time. What a treat to get to share a pick in a place that has real stuff that is so seldom seen!

    Our gratitude to @BernerBrotherAntiques for having us in is beyond measure, especially since the warehouse is now not open to the public and is unavailable for viewing at this time.

      Wow! What an antique dealers dream. Incredible! I collect chocolate pots and wish you had bought them. Especially the one with the swan. It was stunning!

      What a dream pick. I saw so many tobacciana and Americana items that I would have gravitated to for my store and personal collections. I just started my antique career this year, Cigar Room Antiques (Cincinnati), and missed the Springfield show. I'll definitely make it next year so I can stop by your lot and thank you in person for all the knowledge I learn from your videos!

      It's refreshing to see professional resellers like George and Jocelyn, buying actual quality items and pay up for them to make even more profits. I think that's the reason why they are so successful.

      I used to have a POW/MIA bracelet I wore for a serviceman (Michael Milligan) for Southeast Asia when I was about 10 years old. I used to check the newspapers to see if he came home. On a brighter note, I’m glad you were able to join Jocelyn and share with us what caught your eye. It’s fun to see what each of you found. Thanks George.

      Wow, this place is wonderful. Some truly amazing pieces in there. Love all those Chinese carvings/walls, they make great room dividers. I can honestly say I have not seen some of that Fenton blue swirl pitchers, they were beautiful. Thank you for sharing and letting me come along with you in this warehouse. You have a great day and safe travels

      What an amazing collection. Thank you so much for sharing. Misty from Thrifter Junker Vintage Hunter loves old medicinal bottles. Ya'll need to look her up too. I absolutely will look up Crazy Lamp Lady! I had that very Barbie! The Vietnam War memorabilia brings back bad memories. Well, China has plenty of our dollars and land. Boo to China.. How do we know what is collectable visiting just the very place you are at? What should we bolo for and buy? Random comments along the way. Thank you for your knowledge…

      Such an amazing place! I would gladly work for a month to have one of those amazing blanket chests. I don’t know where I would put it, but I would surely find a spot.

      Hi George from Chris from Springfield. I had watched Jocelyn's vid shopping there. We all know she is very generous so, I'm not surprised she thought of you – she mentions you often in her vids 🙂 What fun for both of you … and for your subscribers! TFS your trip & all the fun facts! Take Care.
