“We stumbled upon this hidden gem of an antique gun shop while driving past and decided to drop in. The owner was incredibly kind and patient. He showcased an impressive collection of antique firearms and even gave me a small gift as we left. If you love antique guns, this shop is a must-visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”
“This place is incredible fun! I've never seen anything like it before. I came in today with my teenager who loves to thrift and also my 2 year old daughter, they both found some really nice items they wanted. Just very chill cool vibes in here. They have a café as well that smelled wonderful and most importantly an animal rescue. Which is just a super neat combination.”

134 Main Street Extension, Middletown“Excellent place to visit. Probably the most organized store of its kind in that large size. Multiple rooms and floors to look through. Prices are high for some things and really good for other things. So I'd say it falls in the reasonable pricing range. Definitely worth going .”

346 Town St, East Haddam“Gary is wonderful. It's been many years since I had been in the store but it has not changed much from what I remember....many very cool and interesting things in there. He and his wife are both very nice and they are interesting people! Thank you Gary for checking out the mushrooms I picked!! I hope you enjoyed them!”
“The employees at this store are fabulous. I've been watching a chair on Chairish for months, and it was finally reduced to a really excellent price. They held it for me until I could get there today. I guess I wasn't sure how big it is, but it's HUGE. It for sure didn't fit in the back of my SUV. so the employees managed to get fit it in with just a small portion protruding and bungee corded it very securely in my vehicle so I could make the seventy mile drive home with my new purchase. Thanks so much for the effort. I'm thrilled with my purchase.”
