HOW TO IDENTIFY VINTAGE CHRISTMAS - GUIDE to finding REAL VINTAGE treasures!

That's exactly where i bought many vintage Holidays stuffs from three Goodwill stores. 😀 Yes, i am Deaf Vingate Holidays Collector. 😊

Awesome video! 😀

Great informative video ,..well done

Blow molds have gone way up in price since you filmed this.

Thanks for this video. Now, I know for sure that I can identify vintage ornaments.

Enjoy watching this video I have many of the stuff you talked about also I have old angles Santa’s with papier-mâché designs plastic ugly fat faces of Santa’s with hair on beards love those old ones

My MaMa said, “it only worth what someone will pay for it”.

Easiest way is to ask anyone 60 and older. We know immediately

This is just Absolutely Amazing! The vintage indents are my Absolute favorites! Have some and would love to have more, Wish they still made them today, The ones today are just not the same 😢 Ty you for Sharing!

Hi, could you give recommendations on how to clean flocked Santa's and ornaments? I have a few that I got at auction that are fairly dirty (beards and red suit)

Excellent information! Thanks so much. Some of the makers were unfamiliar to me, so it would help to see the names written.

please please please !! do store them in paper not all in one box because the paint is so fragile.. but i like them a lot thanks for sharing.

I have some vintage Christmas ornaments that you might want to look at 😊

Concerning glitter: there is old vintage glitter. It's ground glass. I'm not sure what it's dyed with, could be silver, lead, other materials (very early Lauscha Kugeln were dyed with lead, around ca 1860-1900 ). On old (german) ornaments and Glanzbilder/scraps you can see the glitter turning black/green. That's imo the silver dyed ground glass oxidizing.

I bought the blow mold Santa on the left hand side but it broke on the white stripe above the belt. It was my first one I bought it broke on its trip from Louisville to Texas. I have never broke anything and I want to fix it to where it could still be enjoyed. Any Ideas? I thought about putting a vintage or vintage style bottle brush tree on it.

I Love glass blown Christmas balls..Know people who would sell them..clear glass, to paint a beautiful Angel on..

Hello! Do yall have a video on wooden ornaments from 70s, 80s and early 90s ornaments? To see if their legit vintage. Thank you!

I LOVED this video! It took me back to my childhood. I was born in the ‘60’s and we had many of the decorations that you showed. Thank you for such a well put together video. I’m now a subscriber.

Thank you so much for such an informative video. Blessings 🙏🏽💗

A video on halloween decor would be awesome!

Girls, I need your help. I just purchased 2 beautiful bottle brush trees. Now that I got them home I am truely not sure if they are true vintage. Wood base, small red mercury bulbs & worn silver larger bulbs that are not glass. I think maybe wood that has been Painted. I would love to send you a few pictures in hopes you can help me. I have searched Google for hours with no luck. I paid up for these and I want to make sure they are the real deal.

I loved this! So much information. I’m just now getting into collecting shiny bright ornaments I’m obsessed!

I have found this video to be so useful. I am an antiques dealer in Ohio and every Christmas season, I sell Christmas ornaments. Finding clear information on vintage Christmas is difficult to find in the vintage FB groups is difficult. You have saved me a lot of research and reading. Please do more!

What a nice break from all the unpleasant news in our faces every day. Thank you so much!

Great video. Great content. Very informative

Was there plastic vintage ornaments?

I am new to vintage xmas, and this video was so informative! thank you!

I love the shiny bright ornaments and the indented ornaments are my favorite. I still do my tree in the old traditional way. With the old C6 or C7 lights, and the very old traditional ornaments. I probably always well. I sure do miss the icicles! There’s no way I’m going to use those LED lights ever!

Is there a good way to clean the vintage glass ornaments??! I got a big lot of them but they're in pretty rough shape.

Fantastic video! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all the fine points of separating vintage from newer ornaments. I would love to see more on hand blown glass olrnaments from Germany and Poland. I also appreciate the link below. Never knew there was that much information out there. You guys rock!

You both are so knowledgeable thank you for sharing your knowledge you two are perfect for each other

Re watching a year later and i still love it!!!

Great info.

The older pieces were painted red because a true red glaze had not yet been developed.

Thank you… great info… 💚💚💚

oh my gosh, this was a great video , I learned so much from this video. Thank you Thank you!!

Very informative and an enjoyable video.

I have some old Bulbs from the 50s and 60s with Disney Characters and bulbs which are made so 'skin- thin' that some easily broke with a single drop. Can you tell me if these are collectable?

I have 4 blo mold s that are Thanksgiving. 2 are Indians and 2 are pilgrims. I brought them about 19 hrs. ago. Each yr I put them out every. Year. On my porch

I have just discovered you girls I think your fab keep up the great work🥰

Loved it. I learned alot. Mercury glass is actually made with mercury. The process of making was toxic to the workers and was banned. So mercury glass is no longer made. It looks different and is almost like silver. People used to refer to it as poor man's silver. The final product is not toxic but the method of manufacturing was dangerous. There are people who collect just mercury glass including ornaments but not just holiday items.

This was great!! I learned a lot. I love seeing young folks with so much knowledge
Of things like this.

thank you soooo much for this! I'm just starting to get into collecting and I'm so happy I found your video!

Love your videos girls ❤
I have a new big lot of vintage Christmas decorations and learning on how to value them.
Your information is very helpful.
I’m having trouble with a vintage papier-mâché Santa Claus head with a weird signature on the back.
