About Us

Not Your Average Antiques is owned and operated by nationally known collector/dealer Paul Rifkin. Through a lifetime of study, hitting the road, searching and asking questions of the experts in the business, he has managed to locate and acquire wonderful treasures from America's past.

His antiques range from serious to whimsical, reflecting his love of history and sense of humor. His appreciation for quality and extensive knowledge of antiques and collectibles has made him a respected authority whose opinions are frequently sought out.

The store is open most days but the sign on the front that says "by chance or appointment" can be true. Please call or write to be sure.

If you would like to ask Paul a question, call, e-mail or come by at the address below. 

Not Your Average Antiques will ship to all parts of the United States but not outside the U.S.
