Time Travelers

The historic old downtown Jamestown has become a collection of restaurants and antique (junk) shops. Most of these are not impressive. Time Travelers is something of an exception.
Time Travelers has a pretty vast selection of collectibles and artifacts of bygone times from political buttons, to lamps from the 1920’s, to 19^th century art work, to Fred Flintstone dolls. The shop also has some arts and crafts and jewelry by local artisans.
The place is a step above the other antique stores on the strip. First, the place is organized. Everything in the store is classified and numbered. Second, things are displayed in logical collections. Third, the inventory has been thoughtfully selected — it’s not just a bunch of old stuff. Fourth, the pricing, while not cheap, is reflective of the value of the goods on display.
Some examples: A very nice solid wood circular end table at $ 130. An antique, hand made indian basket constructed of pine needles for $ 45. An antique crank, wall mount telephone at $ 80. An antique oil lamp on an 18″ stand (from a late 19^th century serving table), only $ 35.
My wife spend a pleasant 45 minutes at Time Travelers and left with some rather unique silver jewelry.
Worth the stop…
