Local history AND a doughnut make…someone might need to fight me for it!

The Pandolfo story runs deep in St Cloud..filled with good and not so good. If you’ve never heard it stop by the shop and I’ll probably talk your ear off about it!

Another amazing treasure coming soon!

The Nash Group is growing and we’re excited for it! If you want to get lost in a booth…the newspapers are amazing to dig in!

The Alley of Art is right behind both of our buildings, and we’re excited about the possibility of helping bring even more life to this space.

We have some amazing walls and spaces that could be future homes for murals/art and transformations. If you know a talented artist, tag them below or send them our way….we’d love to connect.

A new mural is being added to the Alley of Art Project in downtown St. Cloud.

Some people see old clothes and think they’re ready for the trash.

We see history. We see quality. We see stories worth saving.

Every faded shirt has a past. This old Flat Iron Tavern tee is a reminder that the best pieces aren’t just worn…they’re lived in.

And we’re always looking for the next story.

Old SCSU Gear. Vintage flannels. Well-worn denim. 80s band tees. 90s sports shirts. Hunting jackets that have seen a few seasons. Blue jeans from the 1960s. Just a few examples..If it’s connected to local history, built to last, or simply too good to throw away, we want to see it.

Have something tucked away in a closet, attic, garage, or basement? Stop by the shop or send us a message…We’re always on the hunt

Help us solve a downtown mystery…

On Sunday at approximately 4:50 PM, we had a group visit our stores. One gentleman apparently got so comfortable he fell asleep standing up in our upstairs level. Unfortunately, after being asked to leave, the group decided to take a book without paying for it.

The gentleman in the maroon shirt with the beard was kind enough to hide it in his pants on the way out for his lady friend. Chivalry is not dead on some awkward level.

We’re not interested in ruining anyone’s life over a book, but we would like it back, and we’d love to know who these folks are. They were driving a maroon Dodge Caravan from the 2010s.

If you recognize anyone in these photos, please send us a private message.

Support local businesses. Buy the book. Sleep at home.

Huskie pride never goes out of style.

With Summertime by George bringing the SCSU community together next week, it’s a great reminder of why we love preserving local history. We buy and sell vintage St. Cloud State apparel, programs, memorabilia, and other pieces of Huskie history that help tell the story of our community.

We’ll be heading out to support SCSU at Summertime by George, so if you see us, be sure to stop by and say hi! And if you have some old Huskie treasures tucked away, we’d love to see them.

One of the great things about Metz & Co. is watching our vendors grow and bring in new treasures.

Be sure to stop by and check out The Nash Group’s expanded space next time you’re downtown!

Finds of the day at O’Brien’s Dry Goods & Metz & Co.

Records, comics, and vintage electronics all hit the floor today. You never know what you’ll discover when you’re digging through an old shop.

Took a little day off and made a stop at Wild Things Antiques in Minneapolis. The stores were still in good hands (thanks Mike and Sam!), but it was nice to spend a few hours on the other side of the counter for a change.

One of my favorite finds was this great old 400 Club Pleasant Lake shirt. I’m always excited when a piece of local history like this turns up. You can almost imagine the stories this shirt could tell.

Not a bad souvenir from a day away from the shop.
