About Us

I'm Stacy Jones and I love antiques! I grew up going to antique stores and markets with my mom and grandmother. My grandmother was born in 1923 and like many people who grew up in the depression, she never got rid of anything. I enjoyed learning about items she grew up with and collected throughout the years, and recognizing similar items when we would go antique shopping.

Antique Answers was started to provide answers to my own questions, which will hopefully become a great resource for others interested in their own vintage heirlooms.
