Dirty Jane’s Antiques — Local services in Chattanooga

Don’t be like me, PLEASE CHECK THE DOLL PARTS THOROUGHLY BEFORE PURCHASING!

I visited here on a trip, mostly because I noticed they had interesting doll heads and parts in photos. When I picked mine out, I thought they looked a little rough (I actually liked the grungy look), but wasn’t concerned about mold or mildew thinking that they wouldn’t be selling it if that were the case.

I did notice they smelled a bit musty, but also chalked it up to probably not being cleaned or just that usual antique smell. It wasn’t until I got back home in Alabama that I realized just how funky the smell of all the doll parts were, now that I was smelling them away from the antique store. And when I took a closer look, I started spotting possible mold over all 3 doll parts I purchased.

I’m doing my best to clean them, but still not even certain I can keep any of them, they smell awful and I’m not even sure that the possible mold on them can be killed. I do think if this is mold on the doll head, the owner’s of this store should really quality check their doll...

Lots of interesting items but a majority of the price points were ridiculous. I know that the prices are set by each booth owner but some of these people are delusional with their pricing. I have seen items that I have purchased in other antique stores or yard sales going for 3 or 4 times what I paid. Just because something is old, doesnt mean its worth a high price tag- especially if its not unique, hard to find, or in good condition.

On the plus side, the staff is wonderful and helpful and always cheery. The space itself is large and you can spend a lot of time digging and exploring. Very large selection of old books and even crafts/art from local artists.

*edit, I feel like I need to state that some booths are priced fairly, not every single booth is overpriced. You can find good stuff, but that means dropping by frequently! I definitely have favorite booths that I visit frequently and I usually leave...
