Wickersham Antiques is located 150 miles directly west of Minneapolis - St. Paul,
near the South Dakota border. We have been buying and selling wonderful -
and sometimes (unfortunately) not so wonderful - things for over 25 years.
Although we will handle anything old, we definitely specialize in:

Old Paper ( also called Ephemera )

Postcards ( Real Photo, Gruss Aus, Artist Signed, Main Streets, Topical )

Stereoviews ( Real Photo, Lithograph, Amateur )

Photographs ( Studio Photos, Cabinet Photos, CDVs, Tin-types, Scenery )

Victorian Trade Cards,

Valentines,

Advertising.

Old Plastic ( Bakelite, Catalin, Lucite, and Celluloid )

Jewelry ( carved pins, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, pendants)

Deco Chrome ( Chase, Manning-Bowman, and others with bakelite fittings )

Household Items ( radios, lamps, salt and pepper shakers, serving dishes )

Utility Items ( shift knobs, thermometers, flashlights, etc.), and

Flatware (knives, forks, spoons, serving pieces ).

Books
Thousands and thousands of books - Maybe we should really own a bookstore!
We particularly like:

Alaskan and Arctic Exploration

Mysteries, and

Vintage Non-fiction.

Other Personal Favorites:

Artifacts ( Aboriginal - especially Eskimo, and Ancient - especially Mediterranean )

Tokens ( Trade and commemorative )

Fountain Pens and Pencils, and

Marbles

Vintage Framed Items
Because of our love of beautiful Postcards and Victorian paper,
we mat and frame (in vintage frames) various old paper items:

Postcards ( Christmas and other Holidays, Beautiful Women, Artist Signed )

Book Illustrations (particularly children)

Advertising (Store receipts, Circulars, Calendars )

Victorian Trade Cards, and

Valentines

There. That should give you some idea of what to expect from us.
It may seem like we have many interests, but considering the thousands
of different types of antiques and collectibles out there, these are really very few.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and for giving us a chance
to share our interests (and hopefully, our inventory) with you.
