Antique hunting tips for Provincetown

A few things worth knowing before you work through Provincetown's antique stores:

• Don't overlook ephemera at Scott Dinsmore Antiques. Old paper — maps, posters, postcards — is affordable, fascinating, and easy to live with.
• Go to the preview, not just the sale at Yesterday's Treasures. Estate and auction previews let you inspect properly. The sale itself is theatre; the preview is work.
• Check the jewellery case carefully. Estate jewellery can be excellent value. Ask about stones, metal content, and whether anything's been replaced.
• Ask about delivery. Many dealers deliver locally or know someone who does. Don't let logistics kill a good find.

Good to know

We searched about 8 km around Provincetown — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Provincetown can take a while to appear. The 2 above are only as current as the community map. A antique store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 2 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
