My dad used to renovate run-down stuff he'd salvaged from the Alna Dump (dump picking was legal; this was the early 70s) and sell or trade to Elmer. Hours would go by. So much amazing and rusty junk, and random things like thousands of wooden eggs and bags of antique long white gloves and lace tablecloths sold by the pound. Anyway, it's an antique mall, now, but there is still the old vibe there, chickens wandering around, rusty sawblades, and if you go out in the back rooms which maybe you aren't supposed to...The smell of wet cement and the old creepy tools hanging up *chef's kiss* Oh, and you'll leave with something reasonably priced. Last trip's treasures were that Yes album with the six part fold-out-art ($8) and a kinda cheesy old painting with ornate frame ($13); I'll toss the painting and upcycle the frame. Pretty sure some ghosts "live" there...bring a camera and take some spooky pictures to see spirit orbs! Can't recommend an Elmer's afternoon highly enough, particularly on a cold, rainy day.

The owners are very friendly and are very knowledgeable about the items they carry, local artists they help support and the Boothbay-Damariscotta area in general. Ask them anything!

I was impressed with the helpfulness of the staff as I had questions regarding my purchases. In conversation they recommended Indian Trail Antiques as a "Mantiques" location. They were spot on! We programmed the GPS and were off, two 14 year olds, my wife and I. We arrived to find out that they are closed on Monday's and Tuesdays, however, Charles was working in yard/barn and invited us in, turning on the lights on all 3 floors of his large barn. We had a tour along with the stories of how he acquired some of his collection. The barn was neat and orderly and reminded me of the show American Pickers Antique Archeology store.

He didn't have the item, but it's not easy to find and my expectations on that were very low. A friendly customer who Bob was helping before me overheard and they both offered me great advice for continuing the hunt for my treasure. I had a look around the shop, and found a beautiful (fragile) trinket I decided to purchase. Bob took extra special care in wrapping my item to make sure it would get home in one piece. It was clear he cared, even though my purchase only cost $5. (A steal). When I went out to my car, Bob had followed to take down the "open" flag and saw that I had my dog with me. He called out "next time you come please bring your dog in with you!" And that just made my day. Customer service is everything, and this place is as good as is gets. I am putting this on my "must visit" list for my future returns to coastal Maine.

I love the Hobby Horse slogan posted on their website: "Always a great selection of moose antlers"…read moreand with that you know for sure, Toto, you're not in Kansas anymore but firmly grounded in a Maine experience. One of the gazillion things we love about Maine is the sheer number of flea markets that you run into while driving about during the spring, summer and early fall months. Hobby Horse was not the best we've been to nor the largest but we still enjoyed stopping by. There was a mixture of some antiques and interesting Maine arcana, a bit of sad junk and unfortunately some reproductions. Flea markets, like antique shops are often windows into the past of a particular community. I find this kind of "treasure" hunting irresistible. Prices were generally fair but remember, if you're polite you can always respectfully ask: "What's your best price?". You never want to insult the seller but sadly I've seen it done. You still have a little time to check this place out before it closes for the season in mid-October. It will re-open after that at the end of April. I find the sellers at most flea markets to be an interesting group of people and Hobby Horse was no exception to this. The sellers love to talk about collecting and about their wares and how they may have come by them. It makes for a fun time with an opportunity to learn a thing or two. Be a little wary though because sometimes the provenance stories of the items for sale are a little too good to be true. Nothing special jumped out at us during our visit so we didn't buy anything. We still had fun rummaging about. It's certainly worth a stop if you're driving up Route 1. You never know what creative decorating ideas you might come up with for a rack of moose antlers.
