After doing antique shows from Maine to Florida, Gail and Richard decided to open a shop in NYC. We found a store at 334 East 9th Street in the East Village between 1st and 2nd Ave.
Two years later Michael Duggan joined us and added his vast fashion experience to our encyclopedic knowledge of jewelry and collectibles, photographica, memorabilia & oddities, etc.
Three years later we expanded into the additional shop next door. We have been in the same location for over 18 years!
We carry a huge collection of cuff links from 1880 through 1980′s. In addition we have a large collection of tie bars and shirt studs.
Our specialty is antique and vintage clothing buttons from the 1850′s to the 1970′s. We have literally millions of buttons. Our other store carries a wide variety of collectibles, Americana, oddities, do-dads, antique and vintage items of all kinds.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ANY THING LET US KNOW WE HAVE MANY ITEMS THAT ARE OBSCURE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND. WE ENJOY WAITING ON CUSTOMERS AND WE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU IN YOUR SEARCH. YOU CAN CALL US AND OR EMAIL US WITH PHOTOS AND EXPLANATIONS OF WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR. IT HAS WORKED FOR HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS!
