You can't miss these visitors. They are the one's taking their time, carefully inspecting the items that may hold some sort exceptional vintage worth. Another way of identifying antique dealers is that they are often the first ones arriving at a tag sale and they are the most determined to purchase the finer, higher quality items. This can range from fine antiques, jewelry, art, Quality furnishings (antique, traditional or contemporary), Mid century furnishings and decorative objects and even vintage musical instruments.
