It's fair to say that Will Heck, the proprietor of "Heck of a Deal" would be an excellent museum…read moredocent but taking up residence in the small town of Escalon, there are few museums at which he could share his knowledge. Solving this problem, his store (more like a series of storefronts) satisfies by providing a venue to that's both fun to poke around in and made hugely interesting by the owner's knowledge of what's on his shelves. The proprietor of Heck of a Deal is a storyteller, a collector, and insanely knowledgeable about pottery (and a whole lot more). As I peered in through the windows of the closed store, Will came out and unlocked the doors, welcoming me in. If the place looks closed, peer in for a while and I think you might have the same experience. Once inside, Heck of a Deal is what appears to be a small town curio shop, filled with dusty garage sale and storage container contents. You've been in this type of shop in many places but you've never really been until you go through this shop in Escalon. The way things are organized, though it appears they're not, is logical and can easily be explained by the proprietor who seemingly has a tale to tell about at least one piece in each collection. Mr. Heck will guide you to the valuable pieces and explain what makes them valuable and unique. There's plenty of things that aren't valuable, and prices are low and very reasonable, but even the prices of the more valuable pieces seemed reasonable. Mr. Heck just loves this stuff and wants to share his love with you. I learned so much here and saw so much that I felt like a window had been opened to something about which I never previously knew a thing. I made a couple of small purchases but the stories left me yearning for a few of the more valuable offerings. If you drive through Escalon without stopping at Heck of a Deal you're really missing an amazing experience. You should be seeking this place out and if you do, don't forget to ask "what's the most valuable piece you have in here?" then wait for the story to pour forth.
