I went there to look around, as soon as I walked it I was hit with the pungent odor of cigarette smoke and dust. No one was around to help, finally after looking at old junk a man named Rich came out and told me to leave and that "we don't got nuthin here for you boy" I felt very uncomfortable and left. Don't come here if you are brown, they'll ask you to leave read more

I have purchased many, many items (all currency) from this shop, both at shows and in-store, and it has always been a great experience. Honestly, I'll continue to buy from this solicitor in the future. There was a time, though, that I had experienced some financial hardship and needed to sell some of my items. Particularly, one item that I had bought from this shop for over $400. Now, I know you can't expect to get retail price when selling to a dealer, especially with coins/currency, but offering less than 50% of what the item was paid for (which had been so long in the past that he didn't remember I purchased it from him) is unethical in my opinion. read more

This place is a gem! Great collections of Civil War period items: books, weapons, leathers, buttons, medical equipment, currency, documents, etc. I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in the Civil War, or even history in general! read more

Went there the other day, and I was impressed. If you are a Civil War history buff, this is the place to go. This place has way more stuff than any history museum I have ever been to. Antique flags, guns, swords, pins, you name it, it's most likely there. The guy who runs the place, from my experience and from what I have heard from others, is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place for those on antique or information hunts. read more

Uncle Davey's Americana - Civil-War era guns. - Antiques Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

If you have an interest in civil war history, this place is a gold mine. Firearms, swords, autographs, photographs, art and so much more make this place worth the trip every time I pass through Jacksonville. The owner is knowledgeable, honest and willing to educate on aspects of civil war collectibles. Well worth the short trip off I-95 to browse the collection even if you don't have a goal to purchase. read more

Disclaimer I couldn't be located any further from the actual store than I am now unless I went to hawaii. With that being said, I found the website from a Google search and after looking through the inventory on the website I sent an email. I got a response the next day, and even though some of the items I asked about had already been sold Dave sent me follow up emails with pics and discriptions of similar items (newspapers). And I decided to take a chance and I am so glad that I did. He has now helped me on 2 different purchases and both have been great experiences customer service was great, the papers were shipped out and arrived less than a week after purchase and we're protected the whole way. Dave even sent me follow up emails to make sure the papers were what I was looking for, and I had some weird requests for them. I have bought a few items from other shops prior to finding uncle davey's and now I don't even bother looking elsewhere when thinking about adding to my collection. Thank you Dave! I look forward to many more purchases in the future! read more

I find this store to very unique and historical. Have visited there for maany years. Receently I visited and bought an iviry bead. It's history is of the early 1800 African slave trade. It turned out to made from bone. This decreases the monitary value of this piece, howere what it represents is worth much more than I paid for it. I widened the small hole on each end of it and strung it on a beautifully carved silver chain. When I originally saw this piece at Uncle Davey's, there were two. Now the remaining one is mine. Uncle Davey's has the most interesting antique gun collection I have ever seen. The inventory is vary varied and truely represents Americana. read more
