Known about this place for many years. We were excited to stop by when we had a trip planned to Port Townsend. BUT.were surprised they are no longer open to the public. Now you have to go online, pick the item you want and then show up to get it. Takes the fun out of looking at vintage shopping. I guess that's where business is all going now. to the internet. Disappointing.

Respect and costumer service is something you will not find here. Covid gave them an excuse to become a web only, treat people like dirt, store.

Purchased a fancy brass art deco exit sign, expensive but of the first quality very large and very heavy brass (about 30 lbs) needed slight modification to accomodate the brass emergency lights, but well worth the trouble. A striking, standout piece.

I ordered a brass mailbox. I spoke to their "customer service" (LOL!) who didn't bother to inform me that they did not have the item in stock. Nonetheless, they charged me full price plus exhorbitant shipping the day I ordered but never informed me they were out of stock and had NO IDEA IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WOULD BE IN. This is business negligence borderiing on dishonesty PLUS they told me it would be 30 DAYS before I receive my refund. I'll be going to the BBB website as soon as I hit "post" on this review.

Asked for a quote for an existing piece of hardware i asked to be replicated, they said they could only do so by physically sending the hardware i had to them. Horrible service. Weeks went by and i had to follow up to confirm they received it. They told me they did. Weeks later after no follow up i again asked for an update and they said they had the envelope i mailed, but that they did not have the hardware.
They did not tell me that when they confirmed recival weeks prior. Time money and personal hardware pieces were all wasted in this process and never returned to me. Needless to say no transaction took place, nor will one occur in the future.
