From Barbie dolls to guns, Days of Old Antiques has got it all.

“Our store is basically antiques. There is a few things in here that you will find that are vintage or newer,” co-owner Christy Snyder said.

Co-owner Rita McCall added the store sells “a little bit of craft repurposing stuff, but most of it are genuinely old antiques.”

Previously located at 703 8th St., Days of Old Antiques, owned by McCall, Christy and Bill Snyder, will soon move to a new location in the newly renovated building at 606 High St.

The Snyders previously rented booth space from McCall at the old location, and after considering opening their own store, the three of them decided to form a partnership.

“They have more than fulfilled my dreams of what I wanted in a partnership with the stuff they brought in,” McCall said. “It’s just been fantastic. … We have a lot of similar tastes, we just like the same types of things, and work ethics are a lot the same, but in order to do it, we needed a bigger space, and that’s basically why we moved,” McCall said.

They were originally supposed to move into the newly renovated building on Oct. 1, but prolonged construction has caused them to temporarily move into the space beside it. They are now hoping to be into the building by the end of November. Their contract for this location is for two years.

“Our contract said October the first we were supposed to be moved in, but they’re not done. They had to take out all the wiring because it wasn’t up to code,” Christy said. “So that threw them about a month behind.”

While they have items for everyone’s interests, McCall and Christy said one thing they hope to do in their newly-formed partnership is to start catering to the community.

“We’re thinking about having photographers come in and take wedding pictures, maybe even high school pictures, maybe even college pictures, in our store,” Christy said. “Because we can set up a display for that. We’ve got some options out there for everybody.”

They also said they could provide props for theater productions.

“I know in the past when I sold antiques at one time before and in the past, like if colleges needed props for their plays or stuff, I always was able to help them out and I think we would, too, now,” McCall said.

While McCall is semi-retired and now spends most of her time at the antique shop, Christy balances several jobs, including taking care of her mother-in-law, working as a cross guard for the Ottawa school district, and being on-call for home health care, yet she still finds time to spend four to six days at the shop.

The Snyders’ 19-year-old daughter also works at the shop.

“Bill and I’s daughter is … she’s got some handicap problems, so she’s working here because she wouldn’t be able to work anywhere else,” Christy said. “This is more slow-paced and she can kind of get her feet wet. Hopefully a lot of the college students maybe will drive by and talk to her.”

Right across the intersection from the new location of Days of Old Antiques is Antiques on the Prairie, owned by Stan Vickers. McCall and Christy said although the two shops don’t compete, their prices are comparable. Vickers said the two stores help each other out.

“Most of the time, if you have multiple antique shops, it’s always good to have. It becomes more of a destination,” Vickers said. “So two of them together helps out, it’s good to have multiple people pulling together. … I think antique shops and food are two of the main ingredients, and then you have to have a town that as Baldwin is, a quaint little hide away.”

The partners hope to have a grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony once they get settled into their new location, and hope the new location will allow more people to drive by and see the store.

“It already has (helped our business). I don’t know, apparently there’s more access here,” McCall said. “We had a fabulous month, so yeah, I really think this location is going to be a better location.”
