Hi Folks,
It’s one week to our first show of 2018. Don’t know about you, but we can’t wait. It’s the Old Summit Country Antique Show which is held at the John Knox Pavillion in Lee’s Summit, MO.
The date is Saturday, January 20, 2018, and the show runs from 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Don’t hesitate to visit the Old Summit Website or to drop us a note if you have any questions.
We’ll have a full booth, but one item we really like is the beautiful old cabinet shown below. This cabinet belonged to the Walter Freund Bread Company which was founded in 1856 by Moritz and Jenna Freund who had just immigrated to St Louis from Pilsen, Bohemia. The Freunds were famous for their Bohemian Rye Bread which they served to Union Soldiers during the Civil War. Their first shop was in the Soulard area of St Louis, and in 1921 they moved to the corner of Taylor and Chouteau in the City. Alas, the company ceased to exist in 1972. The dimensions are 50” wide x 30” high x 23” deep
Hope to see you in Kansas City, but if not, we have a full show schedule for 2018, including seven more shows at such great places as Arthur, IL, Hermann, MO, Maeystown, IL, Bishop Hill, IL, and back to Lee’s Summit. We’ll keep you posted as to dates and times, or if you wait a little bit, they’ll all appear on our page.
