I thought it might be interesting to showcase some of the local antiques.
These are a few of mine.


This was a sewing supply cabinet that used to be part of my grandfather's store.

This piece was art deco from the 40's found in a farmhouse in Andover.


This was made as an electric lamp soon after electricity was available.

My great-grandfather's wedding certificate.

1930's era radio.

A child's toy from the 1940's.

This is a change machine used by tellers at the local Maine National Bank.

A pickle cabinet that is signed and dated May 16,1863.

Wow FL, so you have one? My bulb is blue and it is so pretty. Guess I should have turned on the eyes before taking the picture!!
