Antique Photos April 7 2018 FINAL PICS

Short story about this sign. Sold in our Jan antique auction. I see 1000’s of pieces a year in people’s homes, but every so often, there is something that catches my eye, and I get very excited about getting it for the auction! (more…)
In the auction business, obviously a big part of my business, is dealing with estates, or someone moving or downsizing. (more…)
I heard a radio ad recently for an antique store in Barrie. They seem to be vintage and “mantiques”, and their tagline was “not your grandmother’s antique store”. (more…)
I found this piece on an on-line buy/sell site. Asking $1000 for it. In my opinion, never going to happen. Not worth $1000 now, and they were never worth $1000. At the peak of the market, maybe $250 to $300 at an auction, but now I would hesitate to even include it in an auction. Good day, maybe $50…bad day, might not be able to sell it! (more…)
