Elverson Show Proves To Be Big Success Fall Show To Be Held Oct. 28 And 29 By Edie Wilhide The Elverson Antique Show held on March 25 and 26 at the Twin Valley High School in Elverson, Pa., welcomed 43 dealers and hundreds of shoppers. Dealers came from seven states, one as far away as Missouri, for the opportunity to participate in the show. Shoppers also traveled a distance, one commenting that they had come from Connecticut to attend the show for the first time, and they were not disappointed. Country antiques are the mainstay of the show, and the collecting areas of advertising, toys, quilts, rugs, folk art, baskets, jewelry, stoneware, furniture, English ceramics, painted smalls and more were well represented. There was something for everyone, from buyers just starting out to advanced collectors. As the doors opened, the energy and enthusiasm of the huge crowd spilled onto the floor, and “sold” tags appeared in abundance. Sales were brisk and both dealers and customers were happy, many making
plans to attend the next show to be held in the fall on Oct. 28 and 29. The show ranks among the best regional shows anywhere and has a great mix of quality merchandise. A tremendous amount of business was conducted, indicating strength in the industry.
