The Rusty Pick

A large set of vintage Le Crueset cookware.

Pretty cool stuff - but horrible condition.

A bunch of vintage Barbie items.

I usually don't like this type of thing but this guy's artwork is pretty neat!

Just your typical overpriced antique store. I asked about locker baskets, and the worker found one but was missing the metal label and number. They wanted $14.95 for it.. The bathroom signs were gender neutral and said whatever, just wash your hands. There was a vendor with a lot of overpriced records. I looked around but didn't buy anything.

The Rusty Pick is okay - average - not worth driving out of your way to visit.Mostly, I was highly irritated because we drove 45 minutes out of our way and then plodded through rush hour traffic to visit this antique store. EVERYONE at every antique shop from Monticello to Clear Lake told us that we simply NEEDED visit The Rusty Pick in St. Cloud. What a let-down. It was simply okay, just an average or a slightly below average place. I might stop in again if I happened to drive by. But it definitely isn't worth a special trip on a day of antiquing. About 10% of the stuff in this store seems to be crafts and other non-antique items...kind of a turn off.On top of that, the dude behind the counter had all the sales talent of a dead fish. He couldn't be bothered to greet us, to tell us "goodbye", or to even speak with us whatsoever. He DID talk to another guy though, some super old dude who didn't seem to be a buyer and who didn't seem to have money. There were only 3 of us in the shop. Not cool.I should probably rate them at 2 stars because of the mediocre merchandise and the crappy customer service. But I'm being generous and going with 3 stars because the place is setup nicely.I was told that there's a second Rusty Pick location in Waite Park. Judging from this location, I have zero interest in seeing the other location.Pass if you're a serious collector. Stop if you're bored and close by.-Daddy Maxx Retro
