  • Check marks, joints, and repairs; a phone photo of the maker’s mark lets you look up comparable sold prices before you commit.
  • Measure doorways and your vehicle before falling for a large piece — most antique stores are cash-and-carry.
  • Sunday hours are on file (11 AM – 5 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
