Let's Shop for Hidden Vintage Gems at Early Bird Antique Show!

There's a new antique show in town, and we want to see it first! We're experimenting by paying the early bird special rate, joining a handful of others who want to see what these antique and vintage dealers have as they unpack.

Early bird antique shopping is a little different, with many items still in boxes and dealers caught up in the hustle of unpacking. Will we find enough cool things and great bargains to justify the extra $10 we paid to get in early?

The first table produces our first buy, a pair of elegant sterling and marcasite earrings...but the dealer tells us we'll have to come back to see the fine jewelry tomorrow. We pick a 1930s linen rack out of a dealer's box for just $15, and find a table with silhouettes, costume jewelry pins and a jadeite batter bowl, all at great prices that we scarf up before the bigger crowds hit the show over the weekend.

A lovely couple gives us a great hands-on show of real versus reproduction Roseville pottery, guaranteed to make future collectors feel confident in what they're buying! We get to see the reveal of a lot of other true antiques and high-quality collectibles, from primitive furniture and antique toys to Lalique animals, head vases and two pairs of handcuffs with keys that we have to take with us for our collectors to see.

Was it worth paying to go early? Despite a few hiccups (dealers who were out shopping themselves or closed early caused frustration), the chance to see these items as they arrived gives a new wrinkle to a new show that we hope gains steam and interest from dealers and collectors in the Evansville, Indiana area.
