Aged to Perfection

Inside the home of compassionate Albuquerque activists, we’ve uncovered vintage fly fishing, camera equipment, clothing for men and women, doctor’s bags, typewriters, antique books, and more. There is a large collection of “old technology” like microscopes, tripods, military devices, audio, and photo processing supplies and equipment. There are several lovely furniture pieces with character including beautiful twin and double headboard frames.


We are featuring multiple pieces of Acoma, Santa Clara, and Navajo pottery. Other Native American pieces include a ceremonial pipe, Hopi Kachinas, sterling silver + turquoise jewelry, a camelrock carved relief tray, and indigenous woven baskets (North + South American).
