Mel's Antiques & Collectibles — Local services in Brownsville

I went to Mel's Antiques & Collectibles last year 2018 while visiting family in Brownsville and loved it. I'm a big antique shopper living in the Houston area and I go to many shops in a 100 mile radius of this area, and Mel's is one of favorite, and since it's about 6 hours south of Houston I haven't been back since last year, but the good news is in a couple of weeks when my kids are out for Spring Break we are all going back to Brownsville to visit family and my main goal is to go back to Mel's and find some more antique treasures there. Last year I bought several cool items and could barely fit them in my wife's vehicle. I almost made my kids ride back to Houston on the El Expresso bus, "Just kidding" :) This year we're going in my truck so hopefully I find some cool stuff to load up. That's pretty much the only antique store I found in the valley in that area. Not only was it a great antique store, but the owners an older couple were very nice, and I enjoyed talking to them. Very good hospitality, and very knowledgable on antiques and collectibles. I hope they're doing great and being blessed....

Stopped in here. Really cool spot. Picked up a couple of good deals. Prices are not bad like you see in so many shops. If your looking for a nice piece and in the area stop at Mel's. The owner Mel is really cool. He and I negotiated a couple of block and tackle sets. He is really a tough negotiator. I tried all my old pawn shop tactics. I say Mel is a man I would be...

Wow! What a great variety of antiques and collectibles. Everything from elegant glass to vintage slot machines. Large selection of smalls and toys, coins, jewelry, pottery, you name it. Went back today. The owners are so helpful. Happy...
