Over the mountains and to the antique show...but wait, there's an estate sale sign! We're driving the Cascade Mountain loop en route to Spokane, Washington, but a sign diverts us to a farmstead in the middle of nowhere first. Will they have old stuff, good stuff, cheap stuff?
Turns out there's a little of both here! This is clearly an old collector estate, where RS Germany, French and English porcelains are bargain priced, Native American dancers are reasonable and buyable (but not the baskets!), the Fenton is cheap and a whole lot of other things are not. We talk about what is and isn't a good buy as we enjoy this unexpected stop!
Our real destination is Spokane, Washington's Custer's Antique Show, where Spokanites have shopped twice a year for nearly a half-century! This time we're shoppers rather than sellers, we get to tag along with some RU-vid friends and visit one of their spaces (loving that Italian martini pitcher!). Nearby, a three-for-$20 booth brings us Disney, a 1970s Love placard, a Canada Dry bottle opener and a bunch of other fun stuff) that we can easily resell for triple…and then we find a 1930s Mexican tile table at a price we can’t resist!
But the real charm of this antique show is the presence of real old-time antique and vintage dealers who have amazing and beautiful things not commonly seen. A case of Moser, Kew Blas and other Art Nouveau antique glass sparkles alongside enameled spoon sets and Russian Niello cigarette boxes, while another table boasts a huge collection of scarce early 1900s Alaska studio photo prints. A Salvador Dali artist's proof, a 1930s trolling motor and a cool 1950s Buster Brown display figure exemplify why this is an antique show worth seeing!
