Olde Store

This store doesn’t just talk about antiques or carry a few things for the upscale. The Olde Store is the everyman store. Things here are like that found in nearly any old farmhouse or home in the late 19^th and early 20^th century. It took me back to a combination of my grandfather’s tool shed or my grandparents farm home. It was fun and a tad sad.
The owner has just taken over the property in the last couple of months, so not everything is priced, but if you ask, he’ll be able to tell you. It’s clear inventory is still being moved around. I never stopped by when the Olde Store was under the previous ownership, so it may be different for those who have.
My visit, too short to spend time looking at things in detail, did allow me to see the treasures. Glassware, china, curios, a wood burning stove (at least I think it was), sanders, a dial phone, toys, paperback books from the 1950s or 60s, I think, pictures, a small selection of jewelry, periodicals, and even several photo albums with photos from the 30s. These weren’t just random, though, the photo albums were themselves from the era, with the black pages and glued backed corners. It was a pretty impressive historical record.
The Olde Store, should it keep the charm it has, will be a fun shop to visit again. For someone looking to capture a perfect antique, it will be a good place to start the search.
