0:00:37.526,0:00:39.431
Good evening,

0:00:40.491,0:00:43.600
and thank you for joining me tonight.

0:00:48.602,0:00:51.492
This video is something

0:00:51.492,0:00:55.492
I've had in mind for months

0:00:55.674,0:00:58.058
and the idea originally came

0:00:58.058,0:00:59.938
when I stumbled upon

0:00:59.938,0:01:03.457
my mother's childhood cubes.

0:01:04.173,0:01:05.822
And I thought:

0:01:05.822,0:01:08.041
"how tingly would that be!"

0:01:08.857,0:01:12.808
So I started to gather vintage toys

0:01:12.808,0:01:16.244
in hope I could make a video one day.

0:01:17.526,0:01:19.659
Some of the toys we're going

0:01:19.659,0:01:21.211
to discover tonight

0:01:21.211,0:01:24.710
have been in my family for decades

0:01:25.108,0:01:28.577
and others were found in garage sales

0:01:28.577,0:01:31.683
or on second hand websites.

0:01:33.976,0:01:37.453
So, let's have a look at the first one:

0:01:38.129,0:01:41.078
my mother's wooden cubes.

0:01:54.369,0:01:56.782
These are from the 50s,

0:01:58.107,0:02:00.242
maybe slightly older

0:02:00.242,0:02:03.755
depending on when they were actually made.

0:02:16.561,0:02:22.810
The cubes are made of a quite light wood

0:02:25.912,0:02:30.146
maybe pine or poplar?

0:02:31.362,0:02:34.061
I don't think this is oak.

0:02:37.580,0:02:40.496
And the set looks complete.

0:02:41.233,0:02:45.633
We've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

0:02:47.065,0:02:52.296
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

0:02:54.131,0:02:55.965
35 cubes,

0:02:56.434,0:03:01.064
so all the letters & numbers.

0:03:06.216,0:03:09.701
Four different colors, red,

0:03:12.178,0:03:13.396
green,

0:03:16.930,0:03:18.125
yellow,

0:03:18.125,0:03:19.540
and...

0:03:23.392,0:03:25.803
No I think they were 3 only but,

0:03:28.285,0:03:31.768
this one was green once.

0:03:38.408,0:03:40.161
Lovely sounds.

0:03:52.622,0:03:55.288
Now let's see if we can get ASMR

0:03:55.288,0:03:56.806
from these cubes.

0:03:57.404,0:03:59.272
Literally I mean.

0:04:00.323,0:04:04.808
So, looking for the a...

0:04:07.775,0:04:09.272
I can't see it.

0:04:11.433,0:04:12.250
Here,

0:04:16.867,0:04:17.802
first one.

0:04:20.867,0:04:22.036
S...

0:04:28.834,0:04:29.869
It was close.

0:04:32.471,0:04:33.653
S,

0:04:39.388,0:04:40.589
M,

0:04:46.172,0:04:48.856
and, last one...

0:04:58.732,0:05:00.249
There it is.

0:05:05.117,0:05:07.618
A-S-M-R.

0:05:19.337,0:05:23.336
They're in quite good condition, but

0:05:30.120,0:05:33.808
some in better shape than others.

0:05:36.174,0:05:40.255
This one almost looks brand new.

0:05:50.389,0:05:52.324
And the box is not

0:05:52.324,0:05:54.992
in very good condition unfortunately.

0:05:55.407,0:05:58.314
And I believe there was

0:05:58.314,0:06:01.409
some kind of lid on it.

0:06:05.999,0:06:09.932
But my nephews play with them so

0:06:12.965,0:06:15.500
the story of these cubes

0:06:15.500,0:06:17.669
is not over yet.

0:06:23.852,0:06:25.051
Alright.

0:06:28.636,0:06:30.903
What do we have next...

0:06:35.805,0:06:37.138
Stamps.

0:06:40.353,0:06:44.055
These are the perfect ASMR items

0:06:44.055,0:06:47.556
I love when other creators use them

0:06:47.556,0:06:49.325
in their videos.

0:06:50.290,0:06:54.759
So I found 3 boxes in a garage sale,

0:06:56.740,0:06:59.624
they are from the 70s I believe.

0:07:01.773,0:07:05.427
And they were meant for teachers

0:07:05.427,0:07:07.444
as school supplies.

0:07:10.395,0:07:12.178
Let's have a look at them.

0:07:22.337,0:07:23.604
We have...

0:07:24.888,0:07:26.236
Games,

0:07:29.786,0:07:30.787
toys,

0:07:34.905,0:07:38.206
and these are animals,

0:07:39.689,0:07:43.741
yes, domestic animals.

0:08:00.014,0:08:05.475
So these are simple wooden cubes

0:08:05.488,0:08:10.441
with a piece of rubber on it.

0:08:14.218,0:08:16.519
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

0:08:17.088,0:08:18.686
1, 2, 3

0:08:18.970,0:08:23.472
so 15 stamps in each box.

0:08:43.159,0:08:44.992
Oh no not in this one.

0:08:53.577,0:08:56.110
2 of them are missing.

0:08:59.712,0:09:01.479
Alright,

0:09:02.995,0:09:06.280
I had to buy an ink pad

0:09:07.080,0:09:10.481
because there was none with the sets

0:09:10.965,0:09:13.216
and if there had been one

0:09:13.216,0:09:16.064
it would probably be totally dry out anyway.

0:09:29.002,0:09:34.635
So I chose "acorn" color

0:09:35.155,0:09:39.104
it's a kind of brown/reddish color.

0:09:52.490,0:09:55.222
I really love lid sounds.

0:10:01.305,0:10:03.557
Yes, a beautiful brown.

0:10:07.490,0:10:10.758
What are we going to use...

0:10:14.292,0:10:17.442
Let's try a rabbit.

0:10:24.894,0:10:26.361
Here we go.

0:10:49.449,0:10:51.082
That's cute.

0:10:53.181,0:10:57.548
Maybe I didn't choose the right paper for this.

0:10:59.684,0:11:02.302
Let's try another one.

0:11:13.069,0:11:14.650
What's this?

0:11:18.267,0:11:19.747
Let's see.

0:11:28.751,0:11:30.151
Here we go.

0:11:39.174,0:11:43.259
Someone jumping in a swimming pool I guess.

0:11:47.360,0:11:49.091
And...

0:11:50.026,0:11:52.011
From the third box,

0:11:53.978,0:11:55.845
what do we have?

0:11:57.594,0:11:59.760
This is a windmill.

0:12:11.864,0:12:13.229
Alright.

0:12:23.616,0:12:24.966
Nice.

0:12:29.935,0:12:32.582
So these are in a

0:12:32.582,0:12:35.034
perfect condition.

0:12:37.518,0:12:40.567
Ready for many other decades.

0:12:56.458,0:13:00.106
And the boxes are in good condition as well.

0:13:04.146,0:13:05.497
Perfect.

0:13:19.614,0:13:20.965
So, toys...

0:13:41.802,0:13:45.537
And now, let's have a look

0:13:45.537,0:13:48.752
at an antique doll.

0:13:49.339,0:13:52.324
This was gifted to my grandmother

0:13:52.324,0:13:56.239
by a friend of hers who had it

0:13:56.239,0:13:57.723
when she was young,

0:13:57.723,0:14:00.355
so it's probably from the beginning

0:14:00.355,0:14:02.407
of the 20th century.

0:14:05.057,0:14:07.656
I wasn't sure I would include it

0:14:07.656,0:14:09.874
in this video because

0:14:09.874,0:14:12.875
I'm not a doll lover.

0:14:13.525,0:14:15.142
Let me tell you a story.

0:14:16.391,0:14:19.512
As a little girl I had several dolls

0:14:19.512,0:14:21.168
like most of the girls

0:14:21.168,0:14:24.320
growing in the 80s and 90s.

0:14:25.485,0:14:28.387
When I was about 10 I used to read

0:14:28.387,0:14:30.502
the R.L Stine books,

0:14:30.502,0:14:32.438
the "fear street" series,

0:14:32.438,0:14:35.886
I'm pretty sure many of you know about these.

0:14:37.256,0:14:41.173
And there was that story with a malefic puppet

0:14:41.173,0:14:43.408
that really frightened me.

0:14:44.364,0:14:45.096
One day,

0:14:45.096,0:14:48.599
shortly after reading this specific book,

0:14:48.599,0:14:52.266
one of the dolls that was in my bedroom

0:14:52.266,0:14:54.648
moved while I was playing

0:14:54.648,0:14:56.298
in another corner.

0:14:57.133,0:14:59.284
Of course it was probably

0:14:59.284,0:15:02.932
her arm that dropped or something

0:15:02.932,0:15:05.384
but it froze my blood.

0:15:05.384,0:15:08.532
So I took the doll,

0:15:08.532,0:15:12.201
buried deep in my toys chest

0:15:12.201,0:15:14.935
and never took it out again.

0:15:16.287,0:15:20.735
And since that day I often get the feeling

0:15:20.735,0:15:24.169
that dolls strangely stare at me.

0:15:25.319,0:15:27.635
But I've seen this one

0:15:27.635,0:15:29.438
in my grandmother's house

0:15:29.438,0:15:31.422
since I was born

0:15:31.422,0:15:34.406
and we're in very good terms.

0:15:37.840,0:15:39.190
Let's examine it.

0:15:42.291,0:15:45.423
The head is made of porcelain

0:15:46.758,0:15:49.023
which was very common then

0:15:49.023,0:15:51.276
but also much more expensive

0:15:51.276,0:15:53.910
than today's plastic dolls.

0:15:55.843,0:15:58.612
Not every family could afford one.

0:16:04.280,0:16:06.746
The limbs are made of

0:16:06.746,0:16:09.495
some kind of papier mâché.

0:16:10.329,0:16:11.898
And unfortunately

0:16:11.898,0:16:15.680
this is easily damaged with time.

0:16:18.197,0:16:21.462
One of the hands is broken.

0:16:27.867,0:16:30.632
Same for the legs.

0:16:32.251,0:16:36.631
And the right foot is

0:16:36.631,0:16:39.303
not in good condition.

0:16:45.852,0:16:50.685
The clothes are quite modern

0:16:51.002,0:16:53.253
these were made in the 70s

0:16:54.955,0:16:57.035
with velvet,

0:17:00.588,0:17:01.906
satin,

0:17:06.057,0:17:07.788
embroideries,

0:17:18.856,0:17:23.042
a bit of lace at the end of the sleeves.

0:17:29.581,0:17:32.935
And even if made much later

0:17:32.935,0:17:35.064
these clothes were actually made

0:17:35.064,0:17:37.901
by the same person who gave

0:17:37.901,0:17:40.317
this doll to my grandmother.

0:17:46.797,0:17:49.229
She died before I was born.

0:17:52.265,0:17:56.315
She was a good seamstress obviously.

0:17:58.517,0:18:03.549
Everything has been made by hand.

0:18:06.215,0:18:08.432
And it fits perfectly.

0:18:14.417,0:18:17.101
The head is in perfect condition

0:18:17.101,0:18:19.151
so is the hair.

0:18:22.001,0:18:24.902
I think this is horse hair.

0:18:27.654,0:18:30.087
This is one of the materials

0:18:30.087,0:18:32.237
used at this time.

0:18:34.921,0:18:37.104
Flax was another one.

0:18:47.124,0:18:48.256
Alright.

0:18:52.455,0:18:56.057
Obviously my grandmother stored it properly.

0:18:59.475,0:19:02.926
She must be one century old.

0:19:09.509,0:19:10.725
Alright.

0:19:25.278,0:19:27.878
And, what's next...

0:19:32.663,0:19:34.863
This is not old at all,

0:19:35.113,0:19:38.529
probably from the 80s or 90s but

0:19:39.632,0:19:42.213
it's super cute.

0:19:42.914,0:19:46.030
I found this on a second hand website.

0:19:49.982,0:19:53.833
The next one is an item you may have seen

0:19:53.833,0:19:56.134
twice in my videos.

0:20:05.117,0:20:07.519
This is a lotto game,

0:20:07.869,0:20:11.586
and I used it in my French lessons roleplays.

0:20:15.038,0:20:17.219
But I recently realized that

0:20:17.219,0:20:19.470
I never showed it in the videos

0:20:19.470,0:20:21.905
I make about my props,

0:20:22.405,0:20:24.372
and it's a shame because

0:20:24.372,0:20:28.088
it makes lovely wood sounds.

0:20:33.738,0:20:38.690
So, better late than never.

0:20:42.363,0:20:46.146
The tokens come with 6 grids.

0:20:48.314,0:21:12.500
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

0:21:15.451,0:21:18.638
There were probably 8 at the beginning,

0:21:19.185,0:21:22.902
maybe 2 red and 2 orange ones.

0:21:29.502,0:21:33.552
They are a bit used, but it's quite good.

0:21:34.021,0:21:38.019
My brother and I used to play with this game

0:21:38.019,0:21:40.472
a lot when we were children.

0:21:41.089,0:21:45.005
But it's quite old, maybe from the 50s.

0:21:50.323,0:21:51.856
Very simple.

0:22:07.060,0:22:09.061
If you don't know how to play with it

0:22:09.061,0:22:11.093
it's quite simple:

0:22:11.573,0:22:15.291
you would choose 1 or several grids,

0:22:16.355,0:22:20.238
blend all the tokens in a bag

0:22:21.224,0:22:24.290
and draw them one by one.

0:22:26.580,0:22:29.828
The first one to complete his grids

0:22:30.113,0:22:31.795
was the winner.

0:22:34.429,0:22:36.514
17.... yes.

0:22:40.564,0:22:43.333
So a pure game of chance,

0:22:43.333,0:22:45.567
and nothing else.

0:22:53.782,0:22:57.583
Again it's a very light wood.

0:23:30.035,0:23:32.316
Maybe I could fix that.

0:23:39.519,0:23:42.171
Here we have a child

0:23:44.689,0:23:49.339
playing with snow.

0:23:53.070,0:23:55.202
Making a snow man,

0:23:55.202,0:23:57.722
with a hat.

0:24:34.414,0:24:36.444
And finally,

0:24:44.681,0:24:50.950
let's end with something super cozy:

0:24:58.798,0:25:01.482
an antique cuddly toy.

0:25:03.435,0:25:05.549
Initially I wanted to borrow

0:25:05.549,0:25:07.883
my mother's Teddy bear

0:25:07.883,0:25:10.386
but it's such in a poor condition

0:25:10.386,0:25:12.518
that I don't even think

0:25:12.518,0:25:14.704
it would have survived the journey

0:25:14.704,0:25:16.384
to my home.

0:25:17.403,0:25:20.286
So I found this fellow

0:25:20.286,0:25:22.319
on a second hand website.

0:25:22.319,0:25:25.303
And thought he was very cute.

0:25:29.138,0:25:31.321
Many antique Teddy bears can be

0:25:31.321,0:25:33.156
a bit frightening but

0:25:33.867,0:25:35.883
clearly not this one.

0:25:36.595,0:25:38.159
What do you think?

0:25:40.125,0:25:43.845
I really like how he seems to look at you

0:25:43.845,0:25:46.079
with a smile.

0:25:49.112,0:25:50.747
Isn't it lovely?

0:25:57.799,0:26:00.012
It is from the 50s.

0:26:01.462,0:26:04.881
And it's stuffed with straw

0:26:04.881,0:26:07.930
like most of the traditionnal Teddy bears

0:26:07.930,0:26:10.950
in the middle of the 20th century.

0:26:12.613,0:26:16.011
So the sound is quite interesting.

0:26:25.447,0:26:29.816
Let's see the condition.

0:26:31.581,0:26:33.766
It's used of course,

0:26:35.782,0:26:40.567
especially the feet & arms.

0:26:47.251,0:26:49.592
The head looks fine.

0:26:54.455,0:26:56.991
So are the ears.

0:27:14.892,0:27:18.711
Most of the hair is gone on the legs,

0:27:21.542,0:27:23.342
same here.

0:27:42.678,0:27:45.713
I don't know what

0:27:45.713,0:27:50.698
the feet and head are made of

0:27:52.382,0:27:55.481
it's much harder than the rest.

0:28:00.214,0:28:03.266
Maybe there is just more straw inside.

0:28:05.449,0:28:08.601
The arms are much softer.

0:28:13.587,0:28:16.461
Let's give him a little massage

0:28:16.461,0:28:19.898
so it can spread the straw evenly

0:28:19.898,0:28:21.926
in all the limbs.

0:28:30.562,0:28:33.093
Down to the paw...

0:28:42.145,0:28:44.881
Same on the left side,

0:28:46.498,0:28:48.865
down to the paw...

0:29:05.019,0:29:06.500
Seems good.

0:29:14.367,0:29:16.968
I must be very careful.

0:29:39.012,0:29:40.780
The ears...

0:29:43.062,0:29:45.162
These are not stuffed,

0:29:46.445,0:29:48.179
this is just fabric.

0:29:52.798,0:29:56.381
Probably some kind of thick cotton.

0:30:02.883,0:30:04.018
Alright.

0:30:16.753,0:30:20.604
I hope you enjoyed this simple video.

0:30:22.889,0:30:24.969
Thank you so much for watching

0:30:24.969,0:30:27.804

0:30:27.804,0:30:30.720
