Clean Those Boots!

One of the things you'll notice when you Enter, Vineland Antiques, is the amazing variety of items to be found here. To be honest, it can be a little overwhelming. One of the cool items you might not notice (let's be honest, it's easy to miss things) is this amazing Boot Scraper:



Made by Taylor-Forbes Limited of Canada, circa 1920, this beautiful piece was never used. It's a fine example of the craftsmanship of days gone by. They were embedded into the front step outside the home so one could scrape the mud from the streets, or the field, off of one's shoes or boots before entering the home.

A piece of advice. Take your time as your stroll through the shop. Susan, Peggy, and the other fine folks who display items for sale here, are friendly and knowledgeable, and they're happy for you to take all the time you need as you make your way through the store.

Here you will find something for every room in your life!
