MasonK Posted September 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2015 Plan on going up to Rochester/Henrietta, NY area the week of September 21st, and was curious if there were any good shops to visit for military items. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted September 11, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2015 I went to RIT...In my four years of living there, I never found any good sources for Military items. Lots of good restaurants in the area though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonK Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted September 11, 2015 Well that's a bummer, Justin! Are you aware of any antique shops, co-op's, malls, etc, or are these non-existent in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted September 11, 2015 Share #4 Posted September 11, 2015 There was a medium sized multi dealer shop in Rochester called "Craft Antique Co-Op". Last time I was there was in 2009, so unsure if it still exists but the only military I ran into across four years of going was either junk or overpriced junk. If you're willing to drive about 30 min out of the way, check out Ontario Mall Antiques (They have a website if you Google it), it is NY State's largest antique mall...and has everything in locked cases so dealers actually put some quality military in their booths from time to time. They run a lot of % off sale there too. It will probably take you an hour or two to adequately make it through everything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonK Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks, Justin! I was searching online, and did find Ontario. Looked promising, so I bookmarked it. Found a few others, but not sure if they are worthwhile or even are still around. Figured I'd call ahead of time before making the trip.

sundance Posted September 12, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 12, 2015 The Ontario Antique Mall does have some militaria but you need some time to wander around and find it. The Antique Mall of Rochester in East Rochester has some items also but I think they have a different name now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary25 Posted September 12, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 12, 2015 Went to RIT. Never found any militaria. Not even once. But it looks like guys above me had better luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted September 23, 2015 Share #8 Posted September 23, 2015 Hey MasonK, any luck militaria hunting in the Rochester area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonK Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted September 23, 2015 Sundance, I hit the Ontario Antique Mall on Monday. Quite a bit of militaria. A lot at full retail, but it's there. Picked up a bunch of patches (most were pinned to a board, being sold for one price) and some other odd's and ends (EGA's, 1/2" WB ribbons, etc.). Nothing earth shattering. Spent about $40; not a great price, but not too bad. Today's my last day here, and I planned on checking out a couple of the other shops I scoped out. Hopefully none are a bust.
