Sample Inventory

Missoula, Montana

Updated July 2026

We find things worth keeping and get them to the people who want them. We’re at estate sales, auctions and private collections across western Montana every week, which means inventory is constantly new and rarely repeats. Militaria, antiques and collectibles are our deepest ground; plenty else comes through regardless. What follows is a sample of what that looks like.

Available

Ten items

Most of what we source skews toward pieces with broad retail appeal, so we carry less general set dressing than we could — and that’s something we’d like to change.

We’re at estate sales and auctions constantly. If you tell us what you’re looking for — period luggage, typewriters, telephones, signage, kitchen and household goods, uniforms, whatever keeps coming up short — we’ll keep an eye out and get in touch when something turns up.

Additional photographs of anything above on request. We’re happy to bring items by.
