Today's Vintage
The Marin County Antique Show held Dec. 12-13, 2009 was Golden Gate Show's 25th annual Christmas Show.
The dealers brought their very best and displayed their wares with great taste.
Fine art and furniture was found in the booth of Lance Jekel. There was vintage jewelry in the booth of Laura Eavery. Fine jewelry and antiques were present in Vyrnie Bannatyne's space and Gary Linscott displayed a wide variety of antiques and collectibles. Young sports collectors turned out and enjoyed the booth of Bob Mosher.
Most of the dealers at the show are long time participants and I consider them to be a family of dealers. They have a passion for collecting and readily share their expertise with attendees at the show. Comments I overheard about the show were "Most
beautiful I have seen" and "You can get an education about antiques at this show".
The Marin County Show takes place three times a year in San Rafael, Calif.: March 13-14, Aug. 21-22 and Dec. 11-12. Look for the Vintage Jewelry Show in Sausalito, Calif., on May 1-2 and Nov. 13-14. For information log on to www.goldengateshows.com.

Marin County Antique show
Going Strong for 25 years
August 2009
San Rafael, Calif. “The Marin County Show will never fail to delight, surprise and reinvigorate the soul. After twenty five years, the Marin Show has that revered reputation of never disappointing the antiquing urge.”
“The selection of antiques and collectibles at the Marin County Antique Show will be unique and eclectic. Of course the show will include a healthy collection of vintage and estate jewelry. The show offers two days of great shopping for collectors, decorators and antique lovers.”
“The Marin County Antique Show is the brainchild of Fern Loiacono, of Golden Gate Shows. Initiating the show 25 years ago, it has evolved into a three time annual event (Spring, Summer and Christmas).”
“The show offers free verbal appraisals and makes porcelain and glass repair available.”
