Antiques America — Local services in Hinckley

I can't believe I've been driving past this place all this time without checking it out. The store is much larger than I expected and generally packed with really interesting stuff. I'm partial to old tools and iron items and there are plenty to look through. Frying pans, wrenches, planes, draw knives, an anvil, a post vise, old kitchen utensils- lots of interesting stuff. Because there are many dealers involved, it is a little confusing looking through things as they are arranged by dealer rather than type of item. Everything is well organized and tagged with price. As far as pricing goes, the items I looked at seemed reasonably priced, and some dealers had items marked down. Nice selection of vintage books...

I finally made a pit stop at that antique mall in Hinckley, right next to the legendary Toby's. Y'all, it's like stepping into a time capsule and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. 🤩

Included here are some snapshots of my fav finds: 1️⃣ A Pac-Man mug that screams '80s louder than a hair band. 2️⃣ An old-school beer sign that's the epitome of "cheers." 3️⃣ A glow-in-the-dark China set (I mean, how cool is that?) 4️⃣ And last but not least, a picture of Jesus on Comfort Lake.

Honestly, if you're trekking up north, do yourself a favor and swing by this treasure trove. 🛑

Any guesses on which keepsake I took home? 🤔

Love the store and stop when close. 2 story with a lot of dealers. I noticed how the prices keep rising. Not much for the 80's or 90's crowds. For the 80's and 90's stuff that is there it's priced all over. I saw someone working on ebay while there, seemed a bit unprofessional. Why not let the dealers advertise their ebay and etsy shops? You'll have more rotation and more traffic. Or the dealers can ebay or etsy through Antique America shops online. Unless brick and morter and on line sales start working together the online will win. Also the credit card fees are ridiculous and...
