Lots of ancient stuff! Plates, and teapots, and teacups, oh my! There's a lot to see, but the place is dirty and dusty. Think Miss Havisham from Great Expectations... so keep your expectations low. There's years and years of thick dust accumulated on furniture, rugs, lamps, dish ware... on every inch of this place. It was hot in there too... with the oppressive heat and the dust, my throat started to get dry and itchy. It's pretty cluttered, although some of the displays are nice, so you may spot a deal or two! You'll even find dead spiders in many of the glasses, bowls and vases, score! Lol! Jk.
A 96 year old man runs this shop and he's quite an antique himself. He's a little out of touch with how much these antiques are worth... but he will haggle with you a bit. We actually had to help him tally up our total because he's somewhat scattered. He's a pleasant old gent though.
We found some cool depression glass, however, several pieces were chipped so look carefully. There were many nice China patterns available, but most of his prices were too high. One of the plates my friend bought broke into several pieces on the trip home, so buyer beware. Outside was a hot mess... rickety garden chairs and tattered pottery strewn hither and thither, and junk piled up on shelves. All in all, this old curiosity shop may be worth a peek if you can stand the dust, but it's not a spot I'd frequent. read more
