Antique hunting tips for Powell River
The dealers' own advice, for Powell River:
- Beware the reproduction at Blinking Star Antiques. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.
- Bring measurements at Merville Military & Secondhand Store. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.
- Patina is value. Original patina on metal and wood is desirable. Over-polished pieces have lost something irrecoverable.
- Check auction results. A quick search of recent auction prices tells you what things actually sell for — not what dealers ask.
