Twenty-One Years & Growing at the Dodgeville Lions Club Antique Sale & Flea Market Article & photos by Brian Maloney On June 16th, Dodgeville’s Harris Park once again hosted what has become one of southwest Wisconsin’s biggest antiques events: the Dodgeville Lions Club Antique Sale & Flea Market. Now in its 21st sea- son, the twice-a-year show is always a sell-out, with sixty dealers filling Harris Park’s Ley Pavilion high atop a hill overlooking the historic ham- let of Dodgeville. And although it’s far from the “big city,” that doesn’t mean the show lacks quality or variety. You’ll find sellers offering every- thing from early primitives to area advertising to most everything in between.

  • Antique Shops
    Antique Shops Antique Shops NAICS Code: 453310 SIC Code: 5932 Completed by Veronica G. Rodriguez Antique shops and stores are considered as part of the used merchandise industry. They are involved in buying and selling old, but still valuable items such as furniture, coins, paintings, toys, etc. The majority of “antique” shops do not sell big items or true antique commodities. At times, the lines can be blurred between collectibles and antique objects. Typically, shops deal in small, used items that maintain value for collectors or ignite cherished memories for the customer. Purchases may be prized as the perfect start of a hobby or as a welcome addition to an already existing collection. Demographically, more people ages 45 and older collect antiques, and more women than men are actively involved in making these purchases. About one-quarter (25%) of the population collect some form of valuable memorabilia. The antique shop industry has seen growth that began in the 1980’s but only on the lower end of the market. One important factor currently helping to promote the antique shop industry is the popular Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television show, Antiques Roadshow. This show draws 10 million viewers annually and began its 10th season in January of 2006. The advent of Antiques Roadshow has generated much interest and enthusiasm in this arena. Industry Overview Buying and selling antiques is not always a predictable venture, but has always had a following. Online businesses like eBay that operate as auction sites and store fronts for displayed merchandise have not dissuaded customers from enjoying the time-honored amusement of walking into the sometimes dusty, occasionally quaint, generally out-of-the-way store for a unique shopping experience.

  • The Contribution of Ephemera Dealers
    Robert Dalton Harris, Diane DeBlois, David Margolis, and Jean Moss The Contribution of Ephemera Dealers Robert Dalton Harris and Diane DeBlois of aGatherin’, and David Margolis and Jean Moss of Margolis and Moss, explore the relationship between dealers and the libraries and museums that purchase ephemera from them. The two couples who, for over three decades, have specialized in handling ephemera within the rare book world, are from different backgrounds and have divergent strengths, yet agree philosophically on both the importance of ephemera and the complementary role dealers can have with librarians and curators in building collections. In describing their passions, they hope to connect with the collector inside the library and archives profession, as well as to illuminate what it is they actually do as ephemerists, capi- talizing upon the quotidian. Why would an antiquarian choose to specialize in ephemera? Robert Dalton Harris, as a Garbage Hound: My life as a collector began in the hospital—not the one in Salt Lake City where I was born, but five years later in Oregon when I got polio. My neighbor in the children’s ward was totally absorbed in his stamp collection—so I asked my mother about stamps, and we immediately found half a dozen different ones on envelopes from her correspondence. These we purloined, soaked, and counted. Many years later, my grandparents returned to me a letter I wrote them that Christmas, in which I painstakingly accounted for the thirteen stamps I had by then amassed. I was off and running. My mother invited me to take any duplicates I could find from her own col- lection—I remember that there were two—and subsequently we collected together, but in separate albums: gathering from the incoming mail, from gifts, from the post office, from approval selections, and “big bag missionary” mixtures—until my collec- tion exceeded hers and, it was agreed, I became the proud possessor of both.
