Stopped in Christopher's on a road trip to Escanaba, Michigan. The owner, an older woman shared she bought the shop more than 40 years and is the sole dealer in the 8-room shop. There was a good mix of antique and vintage with minimal, if any "yard sale" type merchandise. Owner had merchandised her inventory nicely and although we saw a few things we liked, we didn't make a purchase, because as fellow antique dealers, the prices appeared high. Overall it was a nice stop. read more

Buyer Beware: I stopped here looking for my WWII artifacts for my son who collects. I spent over 30 minutes speaking with the seller who told me a fantastic lie about a flask he wanted to keep for his own private collection and he thought it was sterling. It had a price tag of $95. Then he also sold me a plaque from Bastogne. He "bargained" with me for $200 for the pair. When I researched them at home, the "Sterling flask" was aluminum and worth about $5.00 and the Bastogne plaque sells for $50. Shame on me...$200 for about $50-75 worth of junk. Deal with this dishonest person at your own risk. read more
