Not just for men!
We’re putting together a new booth for the shop. It will be filled with toys for boy – trains, rifles, swords, tools, clocks, Americana, militaria, maps, coins, cufflinks – all the stuff that men (and, let’s face it, mostly men) appreciate. It should be very, very cool.
Certainly it will be a popular new addition to the shop, especially with the fellas that aren’t really shopping. There are antiques for everyone, even people that don’t think they like antiquing. The trick is matching the right pieces to the right people.
The only problem we have is what to call it. We want to keep it simple since we intend to rotate pieces in and out of the booth as we acquire things. Calling it “The Men’s Room” clearly has drawbacks, but that’s leagues better than “Gentlemen’s Club“. “Boy’s Room” and “Boy’s Club” are better, although we may have to start donating more to a certain charitable organization just to be fair. Perhaps “The Lodge” or simply “The Club“?
It is a conundrum.
The next time you come by the shop please let us know your suggestions. Don’t be shy! We always like to hear suggestions and feedback!
