Just like our store, there is much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
A: We are open 24 hours, just not all in a row! But seriously, both Mark and Jerry have real full-time jobs in addition to running the shop. Mark works for a non-profit housing rehabilitation organization while Jerry works and teaches at a local college. So sometimes it may take a bit to get back to you – don’t worry we are worth the wait. Our store hours are odd but they are regular. If you are coming in from out of town, please call ahead to assure we are not at a show.
A: We are Always Buying! We are always looking for additional items to add to our inventory and our own collections. We will purchase one item or an entire estate collection. We will also travel to buy collections.
A: Most people asking for an appraisal are just looking for an evaluation. We are happy to provide verbal valuations along with a cash offer. Ideally we need to see the item in person before we can accurately value it. We also do written appraisals for estate probate, divorce or other reasons. Written appraisals have much stricter criteria and involve much more time. We do charge industry standard fees for conducting a professional appraisal.
A: We take great pride in being fair and honest with our customers. We are professional and confidential. We have great references from our past clients and believe that word of mouth advertising from happy clients is the best kind of advertising we can get. References are available upon request.
A: We have been in this business for many years and have invested a lot of time and money into researching the items that we sell. We have a library of over 3000 reference books. We research and study these items and are active members of several collector groups that serve as a resource. We guarantee everything we sell to be authentic period items.
A: The only medal that is illegal under federal law to sell barter or trade is the Congressional Medal of Honor. While we do believe that it is best that medals stay in the family, the sad truth is that many times, medals and grouping like the Purple Heart have no family left to inherit them. That is where we step in. We care. We as collectors cherish these medals and what they represent. We make sure that the memory of these brave men and women lives on.
A: While other countries have laws prohibiting the sale of these kinds of items, thankfully we in the U.S. still have that freedom. We certainly do not condone or support any of the political ideologies of the fascists, communists or any other extremist hate group. Many of our customers are teachers who use these items to teach their classes about WWII and the Holocaust. We have presented educational displays ourselves for schools and churches on various historical topics.
