Where should you be 10am-5pm September 13th and 14th, 2014? Where can you see scientific instruments and antiquarian books in one place?
At the very first Brooklyn Antiques and Book Fair in a brand new Brooklyn Expo Center at 79 Franklin St. (at Noble) Greenpoint, Brooklyn NY. It is a brand new show but it is being presented by Impact Events Group, Inc. whom always bring together quality dealers, in this case “110 dealers from all over the eastern seaboard selling their best antiques […] some of the best book and ephemera dealers in the business presenting vintage and antiquarian books on every subject matter […]”. And among those dealers, at least 30 are ABAA booksellers like ourselves.
It is still early so we are not sure what we will bring, but these items are in the pipeline:
-
- Partial surgical kit marked U.S.A. Hosp Dept on lid. Civil war era, in original box with space for more tools in lid, and with removable tray.
-
- New Trubyte Mould Guide from Dentists’ Supply Company of New York in original kit with 4 slideout drawers.
-
- A nice grouping of 1920s and 1930s French design portfolios. Many show period interiors by specific designers. One of storefronts, another with buildings in one of the expositions, another of a furniture designer’s sketches. Each with a large grouping of individual plates.
We have lots more where they came from but can only bring a van full. If you have specific wants or see something on our website you would like us to bring, don’t hesitate to contact us before the show.
We look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time. We will be right inside the door on an endcap. Come say hello.
BTW, the fair is within walking distance to Peter Pan Donuts (of Tina Fey fame). Bring us a dozen… and you will make John’s day 🙂
