Whistlestop Antiques

Come see us Thursday evening! We will be open until 7pm.

Garden party! Jimmy rescued this delightful concrete garden statue couple. He’s affectionately named them Jack and Jill.😁 They are ready for adoption, but be sure to bring strong help to move them.

Many Whistlestop dealers offer these beautiful bags in various styles. For collectors, it’s a treasure hunt!

The evening bag became one of the most enchanting accessories of the early 20th century, blending artistry with elegance in every tiny detail. During the 1920s and 1930s, women carried exquisite purses crafted from shimmering metal mesh, intricate beadwork, embroidery, and silk velvet. Floral motifs, geometric Deco patterns, scenic landscapes, and delicate fringe transformed these practical objects into miniature masterpieces. Suspended from slender chains and clasped with ornate frames, they accompanied fashionable women to dances, theatres, and grand soirées. Today, these vintage handbags continue to captivate collectors and designers alike, preserving the glamour, craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication of a bygone age.

These are just a few of the fancy “critters” that landed in Loraine’s spot recently. Check them out in the back of the store on the west side of the building. We are open 11 to 5 today and every day.

Happy Flag Day! The day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag by the Continental Congress in 1777. Fly it proudly.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy Pride Month. In Turtle’s case.

Jeepers, creepers! Andrew’s Brazilian piranha stops you in your tracks. Talk about a conversation piece! A few facts: Piranhas are highly exaggerated in movies and are not ruthless man-eaters. While they possess incredibly sharp teeth and strong jaws, bites to humans are typically rare, isolated nips, and usually occur out of defense or when food and water levels are unusually low. We guarantee that this one poses absolutely no danger.
