Able's Trading

Able's Trading While we specialize in 18th century clothing, knives, and items we buy sell and trade items from the 14th cenury all the way through the Vietnam War.

Able's Trading was started in 2018 by Chris and Chelsea Christie as a place to trade and sell reenacting gear and accouterments. The majority of the period items are for the French and Indian War era, however, we have expanded the page to include items of interest from other eras--including contemporary items! If you are looking for anything in particular, please reach out! We have a ton available
