Love your comment!
❤️
at least your not a prick like Dave Hester btw is prick in real life. cte like he only one make money.
That was so nice and so true, Anthony! 🏴☠️
@@StorageAuctionPirate thanxs for making this vidio .I always feel like a kid again looking at history and personal effects. It reminds me to be humble and someday someone will be hopfuly respecting and getting joy outa my shit...i.mean junk .lol thanks again👍👍👍🤘
This was a US miliatry officer you had Lieutenant, Captain, and Major ranks in the trunk along with many service ribbons, and patches. Fun Fact: White sash with the red arrow is called the Arrow of Light; the highest award given in Boy Scouts; rarely achieved by most.
No it's a sash for order of the arrow. The honor society of boyscouts. Arrow of light is what you get when you cross from cub scouts to boyscouts
@@jodysbabiie25 It was called the arrow of light when I was in Boyscouts, but you are right as I seen it has changed over the years.
If his family is watching they know a real loss. This man appears to have been a real hero. A life time of service to our country. It's a shame his family didn't get his life in boxes. The stamps are extremely valuable. I wonder if he wasn't collecting for his descendents. God bless.
The family that just let this stuff go couldn't have thought or maybe really didn't care that this was this mans legacy in the trunks. And WHAT A LEGACY! He was a athlete and a Vet. He had many medals and just the evidence of an amazing life of accomplishments. Makes me wonder if the family isn't really able or who knows but this is stuff that should have been heralded. IMHO.
The white sash with red arrow is an “Order of the Arrow” Boy Scout merit. Not many scouts achieve it.
I did! They came and got me at camp geronimo in the night. They take you away and you have to find your way back to camp as well as not speaking for 24 hours.
I remember my father being tapped out.
I was an assistant scout master when my son was a member. I think the whole time I was there (most of a decade) I think maybe 4 boys got it, my son just missed getting tapped. I think if he'd stayed in it one more year he'd have gotten it.
I was in it also but they used us like child labor to help fix the camp for the weekend. Weren't allowed to talk, still did. I did learn that you can boil an egg in a paper cup though.
It hurts me that his family didn’t want his things. I just want to say thank you for the respect you gave to him. Good luck with all the collectibles in this storage unit.
❤️
Please read my comment. There is actually much more to my comment. It'll open your eyes. James Chryst share comment
Single gold bar is second lieutenant rank, silver bar is First Lieutenant, double silver bars is Captain, gold leaf is a Major. The guy was pretty well decorated army field grade officer.
Thank you
Loved this unit, the history it unveiled and for me is the reason why I love watching the older units with the old dust. Cracking finds
Killin it these days. Loved seeing SP receiving her paycheck! Team Pirate a family affair!
as a military vet my self, from a family of long military history, i hop you at least tried to contact the family and ask if they want the military metals. thats history that if posable should stay with the family. I know that its your money and now your stuff but still
Exactly what I thought... For family, those stuff means more than money....
Morality over money, people over profit.
Yea the owner seemed like he lived a great life. Military service, Greatest Dad, travel. It would be cool to contact his family. Those patches and medals really have no value beyond sentimental.
Medals* you'd think a vet would know the difference. Also, no. If you found civil war medals you wouldn't try tracking the family down would you? If you're going into this with feelings then you'll lose.
I love watching you ... You always make me smile and brighten my day! The treasures you find are AMAZING!
❤️
Look like someone, as mentioned, was in army or so. After retirement he probably put all his stuffs in here. I don't think he had someone to inherited him, that why he moved his belongings in this storage. Also, he was collector, and those two trunks seems they were his, I can say, cabinet that used in war to store his stuff. He was able to pay for the storage until there was no money in his account. Probably he survived to age he no longer remembers or care. Very sad man.
The history in a unit can be the best. 🙂 Good bless y'all. 🙏🤗
👐🏻👐🏻
A military hero and stamp collector. You hit the motherload !
Great job Pirate, that is an awesome locker and glad you got it. Can not wait to see whats in their.
Thank youuuu
Wow, he was Air Force before it was called the Air Force; Major (gold leaves). Also, he the Provost Marshal over all the Military Police (USA) & Special Police (USAF) in his command. That was too cool. I was USA and loved it! The silver container with the stamps was what military forms were carried when on patrol in the Special Police (USAF) and for the Military Police (USA) as well. He chose to keep his collection in it.
The man was meticulous. He saved and collected only the best of his time! He was very proud of his collections!!!
That's why it's so classless watching these yahoos rip through this stuff, no gloves, putting their grungy fingerprints all over everything.
Seeing somebody's life and memories being inspected and owned by a stranger is sad.
I know .... But let's not blame the storage locker buyer .... But the FAMILY OF THE DECEASED GENTLEMAN .... ✌️🙃✌️ ... Big hello from Texas !!
on the other hand, it is good to know that another person can enjoy another person's trash
I think it's cool. His own family didn't care about his things and because of that I was able to enjoy the treasures and history that was unveiled. Sad on one hand, but exciting for treasure hunters on the other. I'm pretty sure the previous owner could care less at this point. Who knows maybe he's watching and is happy his treasures are seeing the light of day again.
It is sad in a way for sure, but better that his stuff is looked at and enjoyed again instead of just being completely thrown away
@@amaya_otaku_pro4135 It's not a matter of "blaming" anyone? We're talking about respect. They're going at it like vultures. Absolutely no respect, no intellectual curiosity, no acknowledgement of the person who owned and earned this stuff? Just.... tacky. Classless. Joking about the deceased on drugs cuz he finds Benadryl? But if it has to be explained...? Not sure it'll be understood. You're either born with respect & class, or not. "Class" and respect have nothing to do with money.
Amazing locker. This is my first time watching your channel. Thank you for not acting or being obnoxious like some channels. I will subscribe. Thanks for letting us watch your adventure.
That vintage Boy Scout stuff would go for a fortune at the Boy Scout Jamboree Auctions. That Arrow of the light sash is 🔥
Love when you and Jack team up. You guys are always fun to watch.
Thank you
Endless amounts of interesting, cool stuff! Congrats to you both. Can’t wait to see the rest!
Yes it is gonna be fun to watch
You and Jack hit a major league home run with this locker! The contents of both trunks could possibly pay for that locker!
I ageee
@@StorageAuctionPirate don't we all 😉
Awesome and then some. Thank you for sharing
He went from a Boy Scout all the way to a Major {at a minimum} in the Armed Forces. Each little pin on the service bar, as I remember, 4 years and so on. He served a very long time. I hope he got to come home and retire.
20:05 maybe that lighter fits in the round gold dish and looked like you put your cigarette fits on the end....? You guys did fabulous on this unit. The dude was forever old , a career with govt and well traveled....cant wait to see the rest. Love hearing the money laugh from both of you guys....hehehehehe. much love happy pirate. 24:35 that box would be a sweet rolling tray...
❤️
New to your channel! Follow Jack. And now you too! What a great adventure!
Thank you for coming
That trunk itself i with it's contants is worth the 5 grand itself dudes !! Awesome storage room buy !! Congrats !! I can imagine what else was in that storage locker !! ✌️💚✌️ YOU DUDES KILLED IT !! ✌️😯✌️
Love to see the family working together!
The red arrow sash is Order of the Arrow, very elite Scout group, some of their patches go for more than $1000.00, better really check those patches !
similar red sash on ebay now for $1800.00 , serious stuff here
The white sash with red arrow ?
@@StorageAuctionPirate yep
Hi Mike it's Lynnie, those stamps are very very collectible and worth a lot of money please don't let anybody screw you out of them I wish I could buy them but I'm 75 years old and I live on social security but I have a stamp collection that I just love and I wish I could buy yours. Please please don't let anyone screw you out of the value of those stamps even the ones on the postcards have value. Sending my best wishes to you and Jack and your families
❤️
exactly they are very lucky.to.find those rare stamps. I am also a stamp collector.but I dont own any valuable.stamps but I own one 1942 stamps. but mostly my stamps comes from the Phils, America and a few from other various countries. I got those stamps from my aunt who is a principal.when she was still alive she collects a lot of stamps in her younger days. sadly some of them was lost but I manage to save some of them and I added more.now I have a large collection of stamps.
Wow so many cool things. Awesome finds.
❤️
All the old photos and old ads and postcards and paperwork people will buy for crafting and decor. You have some good money in that trunk.
Thank you
Craft Loving Mommy for sure! Lots of ephemera would sell well on online auctions.
I love your description of how people load their units: they put the good stuff in the front or the back or all through it - and the 4th, they don't have any in it" How about they load the good stuff in the unit next to it...the one they pay for😜.
❤️
Syracuse, NY. I’ve driven through there many times. I grew up 3 1/2 hours north of there.
Awesome
Philately, is the collecting of stamps, a person is called a philatelist. Hopefully this comment will register me for the drawing. Good luck to you and Jack as you go through this unit.
Thank you
The second storage was wrapped really nice. Someone cared about their stuff.
❤️
This guy saved EVERYTHING.
❤️
I think it was his wife. Please read my comment. James Chryst
I love it when you team up with Jack. He and his wife seem to be good people.

Red arrow sash is the Boy Scout Order of the Arrow. My dad was a charter member of the OA.
Thank you
best part of u guys going in together on a unit is we get to see 2x the videos and even faster
lol
CONGRATS MAN!
Awesome win! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎊
Ain’t gotta bribe me with giveaways Capt’n. Watch cause I want to see you get that big score.
Thank you 🤟🏻🙏🏻🏴☠️
The study of and postal materials is philately and are sometimes philatelists.
❤️
The guy in background.: " wow,mhmm,hmm,wow,really?" Lol like hes talking to the guy on pawn stars who says stuff bout everything.
The 2 star medals if there are British there are worth £10- £15 each thats if they are British . The police man toy could be worth between £20 - £30 .
Thank you
I Love Dust spider webs lol
❤️
That box is a hero’s whole life. And some old stamps extremely valuable! Wonder why his family left all the stuff in there!
Yep, someone was trying to get into that safe/cabinet. I'm curious to see if it's open.
❤️
I wish you both all the best of luck and good fortune with this locker and for the future
Thank you
Hi pirate love ya just keep folks your back. Love you pirate
Honestly the chest of stuff reminds me of what my Dad and I went through after my grandpa passed.
What kind of stuff did you find, if u don’t mind me asking?
@@GracieHendry we found a ton of my grandfather's military stuff and fire fighter stuff and old playboys and coins and a bunch of personal items. My dad has one too... Maybe I should start a treasure chest for when I die! Haha
That's going to be a smoking hot unit for sure I like the oil boxes for sure
❤️
Was that locker bought in the Reno/Carson City area? Possibly Redding, Ca? I think I recognized the picture (one of them, in Pirates trunk) of an old man sitting on an old couch with a woman, with a doorframe over their right shoulder! Can you see if the names of Ralph & Evelyn are on the back of the picture? Looks like my Grandparents living room from the 50s-60s! They lived in the Carson Valley area, & my Great Uncle was an Engineer with the City of Redding, Ca.
Wow! Wouldn't that be amazing if it was? You probably only got a quick peek. You should contact them via email to make sure they get your message, details are on here.
❤️
Youre hands so deep in history of family’s stuff...- sometimes mysterious?!
Right
Please do check every single piece of the stamps! 👍
Will try to
What an amazing trunk.
❤️
If you guys find guns please tell me you will do everything you can to save them from the asinine and draconian California gun laws. It'd be a shame to lose such history
If you watch my videos you know i process al of them enrich the d o j
That eagle goes on a hat. If it's silver it's worth about 250.00 they did make them in silver for officers but I don't remember when they stopped
Thank you
Totally enjoy the videos; when my job reopens I am going to miss the time I have been able to learn so much from them Thank You
Shout out to Blue Bus Dave... He likes old stuff 🤗i guess he will buy everything in the chest, its treasure for him
❤️
These lockers are gonna be fun to watch, Cant wait for more!
❤️
These are the kind of units you want to take your time and go through
Right
I can see 24 episodes coming up just on this one unit...
Don’t forget locker nuts videos
Awesome I can't wait to see what's in the old dusty unit some more bringing on storage Pirate
Hi Pirate, Love the show - please keep doing them. BTW, do you still have those stamps? I didn't see anything spectacular, but I didn't see them all. I collect stamps and now my kids are into it too. So, hodge podge pagest/boxes, etc. are always fun for them to go through. Thanks!
Rick: I'll give you $10 for all of it, and I'm taking risks here.
Gotta frame it
Haha
Hi guys Australia here......You should send the ketchup ( tomato sauce ) booklet to mr HALE$
I prefer it much more when you're with Jack and not the other guys. He has such a polite demeanour and real interest and respect for antiques while the other guys, even though they can be fun at times, distract me a lot and act childish most of the time. Lovely trunk 👌
Stamp Collections can be super valuable. War Stamps can be Highly Collectable and Valuable. Even Old Post Cards can go up to $10 each.
Uncle Mike cant wait to dig thru the dust im sure
Lol
if he was collecting stamps at that time you got alot of potential
I believe there is some potential
This owner must have been so fascinating!! Kinda sad watching this but so is all history
GREAT VIDEO MIKE !!! Loved it and love you and your family!!!!
Thank you
That’s an enormous amount of time to spend!
❤️
The trunk you opened was awesome. You have a gold mine in small stuff. Really cool
Don’t forget to check out jacks
Just started watching pirate and wanted to get in on this drawing❤️❤️❤️LOVE you teaming up with LOCKER NUTS!!
Nice 👍 video thanks 🙏 for sharing my friend stay safe stay connecte good luck 👍🍀
Mike, with all the rules and regulations in California, I'm surprised there isn't a mass Exodus. With the awful government out there, they took an awesome state and ran it right into the ground. Don't sell the boy scout items too cheaply, with all the crap they are going through, there organization is going belly up. That will make the older things priceless. I'm also proud of you. You make mistakes, sometimes very costly, but you also learn from them. Never the same one twice. I have watched you learn so much about the merchandise you pull out of the locker. Your amazing. Now if you would just learn the proper way to pronounce the high end items. Let's start with Louisville slugger. (Louie-ville) no s sound. Thanks and have a great day.
❤️
thinking about the big picture is always good, family is what counts, making a home, security and a life for family.
❤️
Love seeing you get so excited.
❤️🏴☠️
I like dust and cobwebs, just not in my house. ☺️
Lol me too
me too I used hate dust mites as well .i use to take spraycan of bug spray. when I go to auctions
Not an expert but first day covers and misprinted stamps do well. But stamps stuck in books not so well.
Thank you
Great video just started hello from Canada.
I love the treasure hunt! Came over to you from Locker Nuts! 😃
Crosses can be good money blue bus David has got good money for them
❤️
Makes me think whole store that is every old
Lol what story
Love watching every time it’s an adventure😃😃👍🏻👍🏻
❤️
Love your videos and your great attitude! :)
Thank you 🙏
Old cigarette packs have shot up in value in Australia over the last 4 years or so.
❤️
That guy served under Patton.
Awesome
love watching these storage items,
hi pirate love your vids !!!!!! AS I DO JACKS!!!!! i am a collector of antiques and collectibles in the uk, this person was a stamp collector ( a philatelist ) and not a postcard collector ( a deltiologists ) so i would be having the stamps valued and not the postcards all the best and love your vids !!!! all the way from Wales UK.
Those stamps probably just payed for the locker. Find the right person!!!! The blocks of four are the big money.
Thank you
Feel bad for the guy who had all this stuff he work so hard to become air police 😞 in the end no one will even remember him
There legacy forever lives on by these videos and freeing it from being locked in a storsge like. Doesn’t exist
We remember him
It’s really too bad that the family didn’t want some of these awards and medals from the military. No one may want them now but... future generations may and they won’t have it to share. I have my grandfathers pics from WWII. They are so amazing.
@@OldJoeBlows I agree, I would love to have this type of history from my family
Hi pirate you have a legion of followers in New Zealand. Good luck in your adventures and thanks for taking us along.❤️
Awesome i love New Zealand !!!!!
You've got holy grails of old post stamps, its a good money i think, even those medals and pin's and those patches too,. Its great
I was so worried about wind blowing away your stamps!
Lol i wish was wind lol
Was so hot
A stamp collector is a philatelist
❤️
first time I've watched one of your videos. First time I've watched a storage unit that seems legit. I wouldn't have thought that if you'd pulled out a gold bar or something. Hope you can at least break even. You can never tell about wrapped stuff. One time an old lady wanted me to look at her rock collection. She had the most common 3 pound rocks washed and wrapped in 3 layers of paper and plastic. Only thing amazing was how well she had tried to preserve something worthless. Bet her family got a surprise when they cleaned her closet when she died. Hope that wrapped stuff is way more valuable than rocks.
Omg! The stamp collection!
