“Robert’s great. Very kind and knowledgeable. He has an amazing collection of Chinese exports, superb quality antique furnitures, and fine paintings. He knows his stuff.”
“Highly recommend The Brass Alligator for antiques, hard-to-find items and just a fascinating collection of curios. After weeks of searching for the right kind of lighting to complement an existing crystal chandelier in my historical home, I was delighted to find a wonderful selection of beautifully refurbished options at The Brass Alligator. Brian is a pleasure to work with, quite knowledgeable, and very reasonable too, offering me a generous deal since I was buying three pieces. I have since brought in friends and will continue to come back! Of note, too: for those who lament the closing of Jon Paul antiques, Brian acquired some of his inventory, and also now employs some of the same skilled refurbishing artisans as well.”
“Really nice and huge antique mall, all sorts of stuff! There's a huge selection of old comic books, lots of old toys, dishes, teapots, linens and I was shocked at how much retro/vintage clothing they had! Lots of Tupperware and action figures. Something for everyone! They didn't open until 11 am but there was a taco bell nearby that filled that time!”
“Cute little nick neck store, has a bunch of odds and ends that make you look and good varity!! Scored some classic Cornwall dishes and a hand made pride bracelet <3 definitely shop here!!”
“This s the most professionally run estate sale company I have ever done business with. Well organaized and extremely helpful. I've been to many estate sales over the years and Momoderne is by far the best!”
“The Antique Market has great staff who are so friendly and helpful. Awesome variety with reasonable prices. Attached restaurant is handy. The event center has fun food and drinks on shop and sip Wednesdays. A fire pit in the courtyard was also a plus.”
“What a cute little shop. Recently discovered the shop of resale items. From what I understand people donate items and they resell them and the profits go towards the Missouri botanical Garden. There are a lot of little hidden treasures in here. We found that the prices were a little high for resale store, but it's going to a good cause. They have a lot of glass items like knickknacks for your house and full china sets. They have a great selection of antique jewelry as well. Lots of interesting lamps. My friend bought one that was just perfect for her Bedroom. They also have dining tables and a little bit of other furniture. If you're ever at the garden, you might as well stop by to take a peek and see if you find any little hidden treasures. The staff is always happy to help you search for a particular item that you might be looking for.”
“Mr. Szelag did a first class restoration of an 1870s painting by my wife's great, great uncle, a world renowned artist. Mr. Szelag renewed the frame as well, which was a big plus since we were used to seeing it in raw condition. The renewal of the painting made us think we were looking at it for the first time, the change was that dramatic.”
“So excited to finally spend time here! This place is fabulous, and I can't wait to go back! Lots of cool vintage items in all price ranges. Great music playing while we were there too. Treasures galore!And the people working there are really cool too!!”

3400 Cherokee St, St. Louis“Very cool store full of eclectic collection of items. They have all kinds of super cool antiques and collectibles. I as super impressed by the knowledge and the selection.
It's a wonderful, almost hidden(if you didn't know about this place) gem.”
“A true surplus store. It was fun to hunt through and see all that they had. Nice guys running the place. My son wanted to go for his birthday and the guys were very nice to him and even gave him some good deals. We would visit again.”
“My girl said 'it smells like grandma's house in here'. And it actually has the things that were in grandma's house. You're gonna pay top dollar but you're not gonna find those things anywhere else.”
“Great spot for true vintage, awesome mens selection ?
Just picked up the coolest men’s leather 40’s jacket, quilted lining, perfectly distressed, absolutely fantastic, thanks again Retro 101/Cherry Bomb!”

9314 Manchester Rd, St. Louis“Theiss Plating is a treasure, a valuable resource for metal refinishing. They provide high quality metal refinishing craftsmanship, attention to detail, advice and service to the St. Louis area for over 70 years. I saved allot of money by keeping my kitchen cabinets hardware and having Theiss plating powder coat them. The finish is excellent and tough.”
“I had a nice discussion with the Owner (she deals with antique and vintage toys plus other things) who’s been in business 43 years and she was helpful and shared information with me which was nice to find someone willing to take 7 minutes out of their day to help another person. She probably knows about everything in the Antique area of Cherokee and more. Thanks -Robyn.(We just spoke /Friday night at 6:20 pm)”
“If you want to find a place
Literally you can barely walk through without stepping on something awesome then you need to go here plus the guy that works there is 100%
The coolest old guy I've ever seen in my life the guy complaining about the online thing doesn't realize this guy is in his later years... he probably doesn't have the time or patience for computer things and does the best he can, as he runs the place on his own and for the passion. you just have to go inside and see him personally he knows what he has and what he has is a passion for sure it'll be a shame when the store doesn't exist anymore
I hope you got his grandsons are children continue running the shop.
People like him
Aren't going to last on this Earth much longer and that's a damn shame”

1267 S Laclede Station Rd, Webster Groves“Expensive and most of the items were dated. Meaning older. If you want older quality furniture and items then this is your place to shop. Definitely overpriced, one of the couches was even stained and dingy.”

2124 Cherokee St, St. Louis“LOVE this shop. Top end antiques. The owner, Cherri, is a delight and so much fun to talk to. She is knowledgable, helpful, loves her business, and is totally honest about what she sells (will tell you what is a knock-off and not an antique). Most of all, she loves St. Louis.”
“I am a local artist that sells in the store and also shops the store every time I drop off product. The store is always getting new fun things in! I have gotten some of the cutest furniture there, I love it.”
“Cherokee street for antique shopping is great. This is where I would take people, not from St Louis to show them we have cool stuff. There are some antique shops on this street that have some nice things.”
“This is a fairly large antique mall in St Louis and it's right next door to another mall. This one has a lot of pretty nice stuff. It has a lot of things that are actually antiques and quite a few nice looking items. I don't know that the prices are especially great but it looked OK for many items. It's worth stopping to check, especially if you are looking for things that are a little nicer than flea market or garage sale items.”
“Lots of big and little treasures! Staff are amazing and friendly. Everything from furniture to the tiniest of knick knacks. Been going there since the 1990s, have never been disappointed. One of the more spacious antique stores, so wear your walking shoes!”
“Awesome place to find items for your restoration projects! Reagan is great, very reasonable and organized. Building where located is part of old Lemp Brewery/International Shoe so that's cool to look at too.”
“Oh, I love Hammond's...if you are looking for something special for someone special, Hammond's is definitely the place to go...AND...Peter and his dear wife are the nicest two people ever...nit to mention the other employees of Hammond's ... it is truly a lively place at which to spend the afternoon!!!”
“What a great place to shop for secondhand furniture!! Their selection is nicely curated and displayed, and they have a good variety of pieces. The staff is very friendly and welcoming - I forgot to bring my own tape measure and they very kindly let me borrow one. We found a little loveseat at a terrific price that will be perfect for our living room. One of the staff helped us load it into our vehicle. I plan on going back for any future furniture needs and would definitely recommend this place!”
