In September of 2021, 1889 Salvage Co celebrated our 5th year anniversary! I still remember the first day when we opened in a location about 6 blocks from where we are now. I was completely terrified that entire first year. I didn’t know anything about being a business owner or entrepreneur. I didn’t know about taxes, or profit and loss statements. The only thing I knew, was that if I was going to own a business, it would have to involve vintage and antique items. I was, and still am, totally passionate about old things, and I just love learning the history, and hearing the stories behind other people’s belongings as they find their way to me.
