Mike: You guys are moving some big stuff, huh.
Johanna: Oh big stuff.
Ken: Yeah. Mike: Wow...
Johanna: So.
Mike: So were you collecting too?
Johanna: Somewhat, somewhat.
Mike was collecting, he was buying and selling -
Antique shows, flea markets, thrift stores,
You know, wherever he could, any venue.
Mike: So he would set up at flea markets.
Johanna: Yeah.
Mike: I love that.
Danielle: Um-hm.
Johanna: Yeah.
Johanna: He just loved anything that was unusual.
I mean, I have a wicker snail in my basement.
Johanna: So you go out, and you're shopping at
A flea market, and you see a wicker snail.
And you say to yourself, 'I don't have a wicker snail,
I'm going to buy that.'
And so that was mike,
He would see something and go, that's weird.
Johanna: This is mike's brother, ken.
Mike: Nice to see you.
Johanna: They were partners together in
A business since the 1980s.
Ken: Mike and I own a little chrome plating company.
Metal prepping polishing, chrome, nickel, copper.
A good portion of our business is restoration
Of old antiques and collectibles.
You know, that was his expertise.
Johanna: This is primarily mike's stuff that he was
Collecting, selling, I- it overwhelmed the garage.
Ken: I think he started off really thinking that he was
Going to collecting inventory, sell it off,
And retire, make some decent money.
And then it turned into passion.
Johanna: So there's a lot more to see, you know.
Mike: Okay.
Well yeah, I can see that this didn't happen over night.
Johanna: I- here... No.
Johanna: Mike died in July of 2019.
I was very overwhelmed with grief.
I had lost my husband, the love of my life for 33 years.
And now I'm the sole caretaker and guardian for
Our 30- year- old daughter, who needed all this care.
And now I don't have my partner to help me with that either.
And I now inherited all this stuff.
Johanna: I- and I really didn't understand the
Extent of what I had inherited.
Mike: Whoa...
Danielle: I'm lost looking at everything in here.
Johanna: So I'm going to try to take it in small pieces,
Not overwhelm myself.

Danielle: Oh that's cool.

Johanna: Just start going through things
A little at a time.
Mike: God, there's so much stuff here.
Johanna: Be careful, danielle.
Danielle: Is this ladder okay?
Johanna: It- the ladder's okay.
Ken: Ladder's okay.
Danielle: Okay.
Johanna: It's alright.

Johanna: Yeah.
Ken: ...I don't know what's up there.
Johanna: Yeah.
Danielle: Ooh...
Johanna: I know, I- I know.
Danielle: There's so many things up here.
Johanna: It's full. Mike: Ugh!
Ken: Watch your step up there.
Johanna: I think there's odd fellows stuff up there.
Danielle: Tons of odd fellows, look at that,
Look at the blue one. Wooh!
That's pretty.
Mike: Uh-huh... Yeah... See anything, dani?
Danielle: Yeah.
Mike: Look at that... Banjo clock.
Johanna: [laughs] danielle: Oh yeah.
Mike: Look at that thing.
Danielle: Bruce jenner decathlon game.
Mike: [chuckles] repop signs.
Danielle: I like it.
Mike: Dani, look at this light.
Danielle: That's beautiful.
Mike: Those are all like, little shields.
Danielle: So much...
Mike: Alright.
Mike: Ugh... You got it?
Danielle: Alright...
Johanna: Okay. Danielle: Perfect.
Mike: There have been a lot of fraternal organizations.
But the odd fellows really stand out.
Mike: Okay.
So this is, this is one of their banners.
Mike: Because of the mystery, the artistry,
The theatrics - the artifacts are extremely collectable.
Mike: Unfortunately, it's not in really nice shape,
You know, there's some staining and some water damage,
But overall I mean, it's... It's still presentable.
Mike: The oddfellows originated over in England.
And they were around since the 1700s.
Mike: But the independent order of the odd fellows,
The american version, started in the early 1800s in baltimore.
And like anything in america, we made it bigger and better.
Johanna: Is that silk?
Mike: Yeah. Danielle: Yeah.
Johanna: Did they do this on silk?
Mike: Yeah.
And it's- and it's got the heart in hand,
Which is probably like their most sought-after symbol,
That and skulls and...
Johanna: Right. Huh...
Mike: ...And everything else.
And then these are obviously part of a...
Johanna: Oh the shield.
Mike: ...Yeah, their- their rituals.
Danielle: Ah...
Mike: I mean, they're great.
Johanna: They had a few battles, look at that.
Mike: Yeah exactly.
Danielle: Tuh -tuh-tuh tuh-tuh! Right?
Mike: You know, exactly. These are cool.
Ken: The spears and the axes are up-
Up in the rafters somewhere, right?
Johanna: Yeah.
Danielle: Oh are they? Okay.
Mike: It- down here or up there?
Johanna: No, on this side, the spears are up in there...
Danielle: Alright.
Ken: Like up, yeah.
Mike: So you've got all of these shields.
Johanna: Okay.
Mike: I think are really interesting.
Ken: Um-hm.
Mike: Somebody that collects odd fellows stuff would probably be,
Have some interest in this.
I mean, a lot of it with their rituals and the stuff that
They created, a lot of people look at it like
It's more of an art form now.
Johanna: Really.
Mike: That's why they collect it, because of the art.
To me, I've always, you know, just appreciated
That they were really a philanthropic organization...
Johanna: Yeah.
Mike: ...And they helped so many people.
Johanna: Yeah, they sure did.
Mike: These weren't just a bunch of weird old
Dudes hanging out in basements with masks on.
They were building hospitals, they were building nursing
Homes, they were building orphanages.
They were rounding up the cash, and-
And giving it to people that needed it.
Mike: What are you thinking on the...
7 shields... 8, 9... 9 shields.
Johanna: I mean, they seem, most of them seem
Com- complete, but they are pretty beat up. Um...
Mike: 9 shields. $100.
Johanna: I was thinking $100, was what I was thinking.
Mike: Were ya? Johanna: Yes.
Mike: Alright, let's do that.
Mike: The odd fellows were a well-oiled machine.
And by the 1920s, they had over 2 million members.
And then the great depression hit,
It took the wind out of their sails,
And they started losing members.
Mike: And then this banner, I love,
And if you look at any like online auctions,
There's a lot of this stuff.
So I'd do like... Like 30 bucks on this.
Johanna: 30 bucks sounds fair.
Mike: You know.
Johanna: More than I would have hoped for.
Mike: So did he get into an odd fellows lodge?
Johanna: Yeah.
Mike: He got into a whole lodge?
Johanna: Yeah.
Johanna: What happened was he was at an ox roast in
Mesopotamia, down in amish country.
Which by the way, he fit in really well with
His big beard and his straw hat.
Ken: [chuckles]
Johanna: So he noticed that off the town
Center, there was an odd fellows lodge.
The old guys were in there, and mike said,
"I collect odd fellows stuff, is anything for sale?"
And they were like, "it's all for sale!"
And he went cra-
Johanna: I wasn't there, I was working.
But he went crazy.
Mike: Yeah this reminds me...
Danielle: Yeah.
Mike: ...Remember when you and I picked in that semi trailer?
Danielle: Yeah.
Mike: And we got all that odd fellows stuff?
Mike: Danielle and I had a similar experience.
If you think about it, when the membership started to decline,
The lodges started to close.
Mike: Hey bill, how about this old sign?
Bill: That's the ladies part of the odd fellows.
Mike: So for the first time, people that weren't members were
Able to put their hands on this stuff.
Mike: This old projector...
Bill: That's 1800s stuff.
Mike: And understand some of the history.
Mike: And then I did get this like really his- historic,
Incredible piece.
Danielle: [laughs]
Mike: Come and look at that. The only damage I see is,
You know, one of these is gone.
Johanna: Okay.
Mike: This thing is so incredibly ugly...
Johanna: Um-hm.
Mike: ...[laughing] that I just have to,
To own it, man, I mean... [group laughing]
Mike: ...I have a store in nashville and this
Would be something that would be like...
Johanna: Oh... Yeah.
Mike: ...Awesome, wouldn't it be?
Johanna: Well I... $75?
Mike: Absolutely not.
[group laughing]
Johanna: How far apart are we?
Mike: Like $55 apart.
Danielle: [laughs] johanna: Holy-moly.
Mike: [laughs] I mean, it is what it is, you know.
Johanna: I know, I know.
Mike: I mean, if I had, I think if I got 20- if I had
20 bucks in it, somebody would give me 40.
Johanna: Okay.
Mike: [laughs] let's do that.
Johanna: Yeah.
Ken: I say you should take $20.
Danielle: [laughs] johanna: I'll do 20.
Mike: Alright. These chairs in here, dani.
What did you think of these things, man?
Danielle: I think they're really cool, let's pull them out.
Mike: I think they're really cool too.
You want to pull them out?
Danielle: Yeah. Ooh...
Mike: That's got a nice look to it.
I mean, it's missing one knob.
Danielle: Oh that's beautiful, yeah.
Johanna: Okay.
Mike: But it's cool.
Mike: Man, mike must have been such a cool dude.
I mean, all of this stuff that he picked, that he kept...
Mike: Ogh! Danielle, look at these!
Danielle: I don't think so...
Mike: Oh my gosh, look at these things.
Johanna: Ooh... Danielle: Oh mike...
Ken: Wow.
Mike: He had a great eye. And that's what you
Have to have in this business to make a living.
You can't be pigeon -holed into one thing.
Mike: Aren't they awesome?
Danielle: Oh my gosh, we could sit out and drink tea in the...
Mike: Oh my god, they are incredible.
Mike: There are so many different things in this garage,
And these are the things that we're gravitating towards.
Mike: Look at these.
You could just decorate them, look it.
Mike: We've got these unusual plant stands
That are strap iron, with copper bowls.
We've got these really cool ornamental folding chairs
That I've never seen before.
All of a sudden, danielle and I are creating our own little
World out here in the driveway.
Danielle: We just need a top for the table now.
Danielle: The first thing that really caught my eye was this
Wrought iron table base that had a nice claw-foot look
To it on the bottom.
Ken: Maybe 80 bucks? 100 bucks.
Danielle: I was thinking 80 bucks,
That's exactly where I was at.
Johanna: Okay. Danielle: Ha -hah!
Johanna: Sounds good.
Danielle: I don't have a topper for the table just yet,
But that'll come, that'll come.
Mike: What about the 4 chairs?
What are you thinking on those?
Johanna: You know, I- I don't really know.
Mike: This is the kind of stuff that I love to sell.
It's not necessarily about the antiquity value all the time.
Johanna: Are they '20s, maybe?
Mike: They're iron, so I think that they're
Really fancy elegant, like lawn chairs.
Johanna: Okay.
Mike: Like recital chairs.
Mike: It's really about décor, what people want to live with,
What kind of lifestyle they want to have,
What they want to surround themselves with.
That's what these things are.
Mike: How about 160 for the chairs?
That's 40 apiece.
Johanna: That's fine with me.
Mike: Some have issues.
What are we calling these?
What did we say?
Ken: The...
Johanna: Never seen it before.
Mike: To me it looks like a plant stand.
Danielle: I don't know, it looks like maybe it could
Be like a baptismal like...
[making water splashing noises]
I don't know the thing that they do...
Mike: Okay, I got you, I got you, I got you.
Danielle: I don't know.
Mike: Um... And they're- are they- no there's...
They're different.
Johanna: Yeah, they're different.
Mike: Okay, they're different, yeah this is twisted small,
This is smaller, this is much heavier. This is heavier.
Johanna: Yeah.
Danielle: But they're so similar still,
'cause they have the same flowers, and yeah...
Mike: Yeah. Um... You know, okay.
Danielle: It's so funny.

Alright danielle. Uh table... Um...

Johanna: Wow.
Johanna: I remember him bringing that santa home,
And I thought to myself, one of the few times I thought to
Myself, "what in the world did you buy that for?"
Mike: Here danielle, turn it on.
Danielle: [screaming & laughing] look it still works!
Mike: Deconstructed furniture is basically furniture that is
Stripped of its upholstery to reveal its simplest form, okay.
So I'm looking at santa like he's a deconstructed santa
Claus, which is spooky, it's eerie,
And hey, how often can you
Use christmas decorations for Halloween?
Johanna: Ha!
Mike: I love, I mean I've never met your brother,
But man he's...
For him to have this and keep it...
Ken: Why...
Johanna: I'm sure it was going to be a robot.
Mike: ...What a creative guy, what a creative guy.
Ken: He was always working on something,
Something that he found, that he wanted to fix.
Mike: How much for santa?
Johanna: 30 bucks for santa.
Mike: Alright, I'm doing it.
Johanna: You're doing it?
Mike: Alright yeah... [laughing]

6-year-old danielle at the mall, begging my mom
For a quarter so I could hear a story on the gold castle,
Like this is the same thing I grew up with.

I remember being, maybe like 6 the first
Time I remember seeing it.
Johanna: Um-hm.
Danielle: At 6 years old, this is your opportunity to pick
Up a telephone receiver like a real big girl,
And talk to somebody.
Mike: I love this. "each story has a moral."
Danielle: Made me feel connected,
Made me feel like I have a friend inside the castle.
And I wanted to meet them.

It- it wasn't missing pieces.
Danielle: Okay.
Danielle: It wasn't broken, the lights worked,
The telephone worked.
Danielle: I mean, I could see this selling
In a retail setting for 800 to $1,000.
Johanna: I'm thinking for this item,
Maybe a little on the higher end of that price range.
Mike: Yeah, I mean it's- it's got the age,
It's got the condition, the fact that it's coin-operated.

Mike: And it's- and it's beautiful.
Johanna: Um-hm.
Mike: What was his relationship with the odd fellows?
Were his parents in the odd fellows or...?
Johanna: No.
He- actually it all started,
He went to an antique show here in burton, near cleveland.
And there was a little pin back button that said,
"I'm an odd fellow."
Johanna: It was probably like 25 cents or $1.
And he thought to himself, I am an odd fellow.
Ken: He's an odd fellow, yeah.
Johanna: So he bought it, and it was like,
Yeah that's me.
And he put it on his coat.
And he wore it and wore it.
Johanna: None of us knew the significance
Of why it said that.
Mike: Oh okay.
Johanna: Until one day he figured out that it was a lodge.
Mike: Okay.
He connected it.
Johanna: And he connected it,
And then he just started collecting the stuff.
Mike: I was going to say, and he's a collector.
Johanna: And I learned about the odd fellows
Fraternal organization, as he collected things.
Mike: I mean, it's incredibly beautiful. The gilding.
Some of these, depending on the symbolisms that are on it,
Can bring a tremendous amount of money.
Johanna: Hm.
Mike: In this condition, I mean,
I'd be interested in it for a couple hundred bucks.
I think to the right person, it's probably...
Maybe 350 to possibly 4.
Mike: Obviously, none of this stuff is going
To be used for its original intent.
So I'm looking at it from a standpoint of like,
Is it a prop, it is décor?
You know, that's where I'm coming from.
Johanna: It's such a large beautiful piece.
I know it has condition issues.
It does have a few badges at the bottom.
I know the badges don't go for a whole lot...
Mike: Yeah.
Johanna: ...But you know, I'm like... $250?
Mike: Alright, I wasn't taking into consideration the badges,
So I'll do that.

Drink their wine, show off their posing suits.
Whatever it was they needed a gathering of beautiful

Right straight in the center.

Tall, super slender, athletic, blonde hair,
Blue eyes probably.

I didn't really know if I was planning on selling them.
