Looking for a circa 1950s Buck Rogers tin lunch box or an 18th Century spinning wheel?

And as far as the vendors go, most are friendly and helpful but I did run into one extremely rude and snobby lady, which was a big turn off....

If you get the chance please check out Wilbur Vintage in the basement of the Antiquarian. He sells vintage and designer clothing for reasonable prices. Every first friday of the month he offers and 10% discount and a glass or two of wine. I love this quaint shop!
