| - One of the rare antique stores that had me constantly saying, "Wait a minute, is that really. . ."
Yes it was. This store specializes in militaria and historical items more than anything else. This ain't one of those antique shops with endless glass containers, furniture, and stuff that would have been in the Goodwill ten years ago. In a lot of those places, you need to look around a bit to find the "good stuff." By contrast, History by George is ALL "the good stuff." He has military medals, gas masks, books, jewelry, coins, and a whole lot of stuff you often never see anywhere else. When I was last there, he had an French armor vest from the 1820s prominently displayed.
In the mood to buy a Nazi SS dagger? I'm not a collector of such things, but I know some people are. He has ten in the case. That's right--TEN. You get to pick what type. It's crazy. Military stuff from all over the world is on sale here, from the famous to the infamous, to the "I've never heard of that country before. . ." On your first visit, I suggest that you give the entire store the once-over first--that way you won't be fixated on the first six things you see when you walk in the door. If you're a history lover, or eclectic collector, by George, you got to come here.
