The Thrill of The Hunt

Baristasomethingold001_1It's definitely the start of yard sale season, but come rain or come shine, you can find treasures without traipsing all over town at Montclair Antique Center. Searching for the “I’ll-know-it-when-I-see-it” chandelier? Mother’s Day gifts? Teacher thank-you’s? Wedding/shower gifts? The center is home to 50 different dealers offering virtually every kind of lovely antique jewelry, glassware, barware, paintings, furniture, lamps, sterling, vintage bags, and more. Prices are so competitive that many of the NYC dealers shop here first to resell (scammers!). A few booths worth noting:

  • COUSIN BRUCIE’S – all things 50’s, fabulous, and genuine kitsch.  Genies, flamingos, cocktail shakers, costume jewelry and bakelite abound.
  • ALAN’S COLLECTIBLES – sports memorabilia, specializing in the Brooklyn Dodgers, NY Yankees and Hall of Famers – the one stop destination for all of your Father’s Day, Bar Mitzvah and Graduation gift needs.
  • BLUE RIBBON ANTIQUES – truly a “shabby chic” find – stocked with Grandma’s glassware, candlesticks, canisters, '50s luggage (makes a great sidetable!), jewels, deco vases, and fabulous 1920’s banded mixing bowls, with prices like your neighbor’s tag sale.
  • Baristanet readers get 10% off any purchase over $50 at Montclair Antique Center bu mentioning the site. New (old?) arrivals weekly. Montclair Antique Center, 34 Church Street, Montclair.
