Antique Alexandria Brewing Beer Box

At Past & Present Home Gallery, we love acquiring pieces with a great background – especially if it relates to our hometown! This wooden beer box - circa 1930s - has quite the storied past that both beer lovers and Breweriana collectors will enjoy.

Porcelain Pieces from Another Time

First invented by British potter Harvey Adams in the 1860s, moustache cups in their basic sense are a piece of dishware designed to protect one’s moustache when drinking either tea, coffee, or any other beverage.

Porcelain Pieces from Another Time

Thank You Veterans

Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers,
You left behind your sisters and your brothers.
Leaving your beloved children and wives,
You put on hold, your dreams-your lives. 
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted
To fight for those whose freedom you granted.
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost.

Author Unknown.

Thank you to all of our country's veterans and their families.

Meet the Characters: Jazzy Antique Radio

,

If you’ve had the pleasure of visiting us at Past and Present Home Gallery, you know that part of the character of our store is our atmosphere—and that includes the radio stations we play. As you browse our store you may bop along with some good-ole oldies or listen intently to the Vikings game (Go Vikings!). But the most recent character piece to be hosted by our store has us humming jazz.

Antique Radio from Federal Radio Corporation

This beautifully carved cabinet holds a very cool secret. Inside is an antique radio built by the Federal Radio Corporation of Buffalo, New York. The radio and cabinet are dated between 1926 and 1929 when jazz music filled the streets of Harlem. The radio itself is an Ortho-sonic Type F, which was advertised as having the best sound and tonal quality of its day. Part of that magnificent sound could be from the long antenna cord that wraps all around the inside of the left cabinet door.

While the radio is currently not in working condition, this beautiful character piece is sure to bring some great conversations to your home. Come and check it out in person as well as browse our dining table selection during our Fall Table Sale!

Can’t wait to see you at Past and Present Home Gallery, the antique store with character!
