Vintage Patina

Classic beer mugs, glass pieces. I collect both and don't need more. This looks like a good place for time killing and browsing and I end up having some pieces rung up. I like this shop (Mall??) better than the others in the Roger's short downtown district. For many years antique doesn't necessarily mean over a hundred years old so millennials will be shocked to see classics from the 90's now relegated to antique stores and flea markets. There really wasn't much from earlier than 1950 but the store is packed in the various rooms that were once separate store fronts back in the days before I-94. The owners are friendly and will chew classic memories with their friends and customers that are new. I plan to make a return trip soon to check out the 'old' Leinenkugel glasses of now defunct special brews but I'm just going to browse because I don't need more. heh heh.

This is a gem of a place; The folks who work there are so nice. Lots of variety and the prices are fair too. Some of the dealers don't have antique or vintage things per se, but more 80s items, but overall, I have found some really unique items here. It's definitely worth the trip, as there are three other antique stores nearby, two of which are on the same block.
