The date that is...1-1-11. If you follow the general description used by antique collectors and dealers (or the lore of the business so to speak), anything you buy today will be an antique on 1-1-2111. Start a time capsule with something new and store it away for your grandchildren/great-grandchildren and they might open it to find something truly valuable in the future.
In 1911, Lucille Ball and Ronald Reagan were born. Crisco was introduced and the New York Public Library was opened. Collectible items can come from anywhere. They can be of great value in our everyday lives or a fad item developed for a single use in time. And then there's always that one person's trash is another person's treasure line of reasoning. Whatever it is you are searching for or wish to keep for posterity, chances are we can help you at the Olde Barn Centre with information, advice and maybe a piece or two.
Our lobby provides complimentary trade publications and area attraction brochures should you choose to use them. As always, please review the individual show or store websites for the most accurate information available but here are some upcoming events in 2011:
