Overpriced, owners lack knowledge and seem to pass cheap items off as antiques for exorbitant prices. Most smaller things do not have prices on them so be prepared for owners to spend 10 mins googling what you brought up for them to throw out a stupid high number above market value. waste of time

I've been going to their new location (and old) for a number of years now. It's always a stop I've gotta make whether I'm looking for something or not. The items I've picked up (the liquor globes in particular) are always commented on, and the owners are always willing to work with their clients for purchasing. I can't wait to see as they continue to expand and bring some of the most unique antique items to Ontario. Stop in today, and don't be disappointed.

One of the nicest and most organized antique stores I've seen. From the massive collections of glassware, spoons and thimbles to the weird and quirky, this store has everything you may need for inside and outside your home or business! When you're on Highway 6 do not pass it by!

Great place and friendly owner. I collect mainly wrist watches, some vintage pocket watches and clocks, and basically anything mechanical. The prices upon entry were fair, the prices of some of the watches were actually pretty reasonable, considering they could be negotiated down. While the Freelton market was a bit larger, the prices werent nearly as good as here. A friendly note to some of the other reviewers: when going antique shopping, after you come across 10,000 items, if you know your stuff, you are going to come across some items where the prices don't make sense. But you presumably go
