A historic fire house turned into meseum, not in the best astetic conditions, but the information provided is rare and of high quality... visitors should be willing to stay there for hours... like the senior ctizen army veteran like to talk and give as much information as he can... Mr Micheal is the charm that lights the old place ...

I agree on the first comment. The owner of this antique store (Michael) is what makes this store a one of a kind. When I first came in, I was greeted by a warm hello and he immediately catered to my needs. He even asked me if I want to try a tea that his friend gave him and that's very sweet of him. This antique store is a real "antique" store which means you'll see chairs from the 1800 and so on and so forth..he is knowledgeable in what he sells and will even give you a tour if you are not in a rush. If you are looking for a real antique finds from many many centuries,this is a place to go.

This antique shop is not quite like the others. First, it's a second generation shop (passed from mother to son) and has been around for decades. They specialize in antiques mostly 100+ years old. But what is really special (given that you're not in a rush) is the shopkeeper/owner Michael. He is quite a character and is always willing to share his knowledge on anything you ask regarding antiques. He is very quirky but has a very sweet and earnest demeanor. He can talk about just watches for an hour + and never rushes you out. I think his life goal is to saturate his visitors with knowledge! Also noteworthy is that this building is a protected historical site because it used to be the old Metuchen firehouse. If you ask (and sometimes if you don't ask), he'll give you the full tour (a nice history lesson, no charge). If you like learning about historical buildings, make sure you stop here! There is one thing that might need mentioning though--- the shop was on hiatus for a few years so there is some deterioration on the walls and it's a bit more cluttered than it used to be. So do pardon the appearances--- but don't fret about that as if you tell him what you're looking for, he'll probably be able to direct you to the correct pieces! PS. It also helps to call his number just to make sure he'll be there!
