Several weeks ago I talked about the American Picker Show and asked if there was anyone in Guthrie that might have some great old antiques. I have had several responses but need a few more. They would like to come to Guthrie, but only if we have some interesting characters and certain items they are looking for. Motor scooters i.e. Vespas, Lambretta, Cushman, old advertising signage, bicycles, unusual radios, old toys that are tin, wind-up and cast iron, old movie posters, taxidermy, vintage bb guns, election memorabilia, musical instruments, vintage gas pumps, strange woodcarvings and much much more. Give us a call at the office and we will email you a list or stop by for a copy.
