We Buy More Than Just Traditional Antiques
Most dealers want one narrow slice of what’s in your home. We’re interested in the whole picture — from 19th-century objects to 1980s electronics. You don’t need to know what something is called to show it to us. When in doubt, send a photo.
No matching category — but that doesn’t mean we’re not interested. Send us a photo or call 914-291-4944 and we’ll tell you either way.
Coins & Currency
Anything from a jar of old change to a serious numismatic collection. Coins are the most common thing families find in estates, and the most commonly undervalued. Don’t run found coins through a counting machine — have them looked at first.
Includes: silver and gold coins, U.S. and foreign coins, paper currency, proof and mint sets, tokens, medals, bullion.
Sports Memorabilia & Trading Cards
Vintage and modern cards, complete sets, autographed items, programs and display pieces — plus non-sport cards like Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. Condition matters here, so don’t sort or handle a found collection more than you have to. Photograph it as it sits and send us the pictures.
Includes: baseball and other sports cards, Pokémon and TCG, sets and boxes, autographs, pennants.
Vintage Toys & Model Trains
Lionel, American Flyer and other model trains are a specialty of ours — engines, cars, track, transformers, whole layouts, complete or in pieces. We also buy vintage toys generally, especially anything in its original box. A childhood train set in the basement is worth a photo before it gets given away.
Includes: Lionel and American Flyer, HO/O/G scale, die-cast cars, action figures, tin toys, boxed toys.
Cameras & Photography Equipment
Film cameras, lenses and darkroom gear. Names like Leica, Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad and Rolleiflex always interest us, but there’s real value in lesser-known makers and accessories too. Single cameras or a full photographer’s kit.
Includes: Leica and rangefinders, film SLRs, medium and large format, lenses, darkroom equipment.
Vintage Electronics & Audio
Most antique dealers won’t touch this category. We actively buy it. Tube radios and amplifiers, hi-fi components, reel-to-reel decks, early computers, video games, synthesizers, ham radio gear. Working or not — restorers and collectors want this material. See our guide on which vintage electronics are collectible.
Includes: tube amps and radios, stereo gear, reel-to-reel, early computers, video games, ham radio equipment.
Books, Manuals & Collectible Publications
First editions, signed copies, comic books, magazines and ephemera. We also know a niche most buyers skip: technical manuals and literature. Service documentation, industrial catalogs and specialized references have real demand. Whole libraries welcome.
Includes: first editions, signed books, comics, technical manuals, catalogs, personal libraries.
Tools & Equipment
Machinist tools, woodworking planes and chisels, precision measuring instruments, quality hand tools and select shop equipment. A tradesperson’s accumulated workshop is usually worth more than the family expects — especially older American- and European-made tools. We can evaluate a whole garage in one visit.
Includes: machinist tools, planes, precision instruments, hand tools, workshop contents.
Advertising & Memorabilia
Porcelain and tin signs, gas and oil brands, store displays, breweriana and local Westchester business memorabilia. Also militaria, political items and transportation pieces. Even worn signs can be desirable — ask before throwing anything out.
Includes: porcelain and tin signs, gas and oil, breweriana, militaria, local memorabilia.
Antiques & Decorative Objects
Clocks and watches, sterling silver, art and prints, lamps, porcelain, glass and bronzes. We’re selective here rather than encyclopedic — we buy pieces with genuine resale demand, and we’ll tell you honestly which ones those are.
Includes: clocks and watches, sterling silver, art and prints, porcelain and glass, bronzes.
Collectibles of All Kinds
Fountain pens, lighters, records, movie posters, typewriters, scientific instruments, knives — if people collect it, we probably want to see it. Some of the most interesting calls we get are for things that fit no category at all.
Includes: fountain pens, records and posters, typewriters, scientific instruments, autographs.
Entire Collections
Whole collections in any category above — hundreds of trains, thousands of cards, decades of accumulation. Selling a big collection piece by piece can take years. We can buy it in one transaction, handle the packing and transport, and pay the same day. See selling an entire collection.
Estate Contents
Everything a household accumulates: collections, coins, cameras, electronics, books, tools and the odd things saved in attics and basements. We identify and buy the items of value before a cleanout — see estate cleanouts and inherited estates.
Business & Industrial Surplus
Select excess inventory, commercial equipment, electronics, networking and A/V gear, test and lab equipment, tools and technical documentation. If your business has surplus sitting in storage, tell us what you have.
Includes: test equipment, networking and A/V, lab equipment, commercial tools, excess inventory.
Please note: we generally do not purchase ordinary household furniture on its own, and we can’t promise to buy every item we evaluate. An evaluation tells you honestly what we’re interested in.
