Prescott Guide talks about the antique shops in Prescott
Why are we drawn us to old antique dishes, prints, paintings, toys and other items? After all they are old and used. Somewhere along the line they have been detached from their original owners. Some of these items are entirely obsolete. Newer technology has replaced them. Yet there is something charming, something that intrigues us about these artifacts.
People love childhood memories
One reason antiques appeal to people is that they bring back memories of youth. A music enthusiast will chase down and pay substantially for the same model of the “Silvertone” guitar he bought from Sears in the 1960’s. An outdoor enthusiast will look for the Boy Scout canteen of his youth. A senior lady will seek out the kind of waffle iron her mother used back in the day. Everyone needs an old Philco vacuum-tube radio!
Prescott antique stores: something for everyone
While the antique stores in Prescott offer many items of the old west, remember that the early Territory of Arizona was receiving much of its merchandise from the East. And much of that had been manufactured in Europe. Many of the things in the Prescott antique shops have been elaborately crafted. There are chandeliers, ornate lamps, turn-of-the-century dressers and furniture and accessories that have been handed down generation after generation.
Prescott Guide hopes you will take us up on our invitation to you to visit the many antique shops in Prescott. The abundance of these stores is just one more reason that Prescott is known as “Everybody’s Hometown.” For more information on antique shops in Prescott, and to learn more about all that Prescott has to offer, visit http://www.prescottguide.com.
