Owner Bob Hurst began buying and selling antiques and collectibles in 1970 while still attending college. What started as a hobby quickly became a lifelong pursuit that continues to this day.

Over the years, Bob developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, history, and stories behind antique and collectible items. While many people enter the antique business with financial goals in mind, Bill's motivation has always been different.

As he often explains, he never got into the business to make a fortune. His passion comes from the excitement of finding unique treasures, researching their history, and helping others discover items they truly enjoy.

Following a successful career as an educator, Bob retired from teaching more than 24 years ago. Retirement, however, did not mean stepping away from antiques. Instead, it allowed him to devote even more time to buying, selling, collecting, and sharing his knowledge with fellow enthusiasts.
