you....

We now have about 350 different collector plates in stock, but

Monroe, Norman Rockwell, Elvis Presley, Edna Hibel, Donald Zolan (regular & miniature

New Feature - Message Board (October 2003)
Need help researching your antique or collectible?
Looking for something and can't find it anywhere on the internet? Want
to sell the oak dresser you inherited from Aunt Millie? Check out our
new (and FREE)
online
message board. This board is available to all who love to buy, sell
and collect -- anything antique and everything treasured. Users must
register first and all messages are approved by us, so this is guaranteed to
be a spam free board. And, if you don't want your e-mail listed on the
board, you can choose to keep it private and just read replies online.
We hope you enjoy this new service!
More Plates Coming Soon (September 2003)
We've been receiving lots of offers to buy collector plates,
so they keep rolling in by the bunches. About 150 more will be here the
week of September 22nd. If you're looking for anything in particular and
can't find it, please
ask if we have it. If we don't, we might be able to conduct a
Custom Search for you.
Specials Page Added (September 2003)
Want to know what kind of discounts you might qualify for?
Be sure to take a peek at the Specials page each
time you visit. To encourage repeat buyers and multiple item purchases
we will often give discounts, and we always offer combined shipping to save
postage. Questions about our specials?
Contact us.
Custom Search Service (August 2003)
We often have people ask for assistance in locating a
particular item. In the past, we have done this on an informal,
case-by-case basis. But now, as it is occurring with more regularity, we
thought it was important to provide specific guidelines on how this works, and
what we can do for you. Please see the new
Custom Searches page for more information.
New Pages Added (August 2003)
In addition to new items, we're also expanding our site to
include helpful information about the antiques & collectibles industry, and
other topics we think you might find interesting. Do you want to sell
your antiques and collectibles, but don't know how to go about it? Take
a look at our Research Help,
Seller Tips, and
Recommended Books pages. Want to know more about our lovely little
town of Tehachapi? Check out our local interests
and events page, and give us a jingle if you're ever visiting our area.
We'd love to meet you at the Apple Shed for a yummy piece of pie! :-)
Search Feature Upgraded (August 2003)
After struggling for years with our old (external) search
feature, we have finally incorporated a new (and hopefully improved)
search function into our ever-expanding site.
We hope that you find it to be more helpful and accurate than the old one.
If you have any problems finding something, please don't hesitate to
contact us.

Just In! (May 2003)
On May 18th we returned from a two week buying spree.
Well, actually, it was supposed to be a vacation, but we just couldn't pass up
all the wonderful things we found along the way during our road trip. Keep
a close eye on the New Listings page, as we will
be adding nearly 100 quality items to the shop, including some scarce vaseline
glass pieces, Westmoreland, collector plates (Gregory Perillo, Fred Stone

boxes, breweriana, black amethyst glass, carnival glass, and more.
Arrival of our FOURTH Guide Dog puppy (April 2003)
Although we hadn't recovered from the last guide dog puppy, we
were surprised by a call from Guide Dogs of America asking if we would take in
Darby. Being the softies we are, we just couldn't say no to an adorable 4
month old yellow lab named Darby. Be sure to keep an eye out for
Darby's
page.... she's a real cutie! You can
read more about our guide dog foster parenting on the Our
Gift page......
New Service (January 2003)

Calling All Artists (September 2002)
Are you an artist looking for a shop to represent
you? Tired of trying to sell your items yourself when you'd rather
be working on your art? Trojan Horse Antiques is looking to expand
its website to include unique fine art.
We are open to all mediums, but would prefer high quality items
including paintings, porcelain, pottery, sculptures, and art
glass. The items must be originals of your own design -- no
reproductions, copies, remakes of other artist's designs, or
crafts. Please e-mail
us no more than THREE photographs of the items, a short bio of your
background and work, and your wholesale dealer pricing. We
will review your submission and let you know if we are interested in
representing you.
Our THIRD Guide Dog puppy is Here! (August 2002)
Those of you who have visited our shop before probably know
about our passion for our favorite charity, Guide
Dogs of America. We not only sell their fundraising merchandise
through this website, but are also volunteer
puppy raisers. The newest addition to our home is Jedi, a 4-month
old male German Shepherd. He has generously been sponsored
by the 20th Century Fox studios, which earned them the right to name this
adorable boy in honor of the Star Wars movies. Look for photos and
updates about Jedi on the Our Gift page
..... coming as soon as I have more than 5 minutes quiet time! :-)
We've Moved (July 2002)
Over the 4th of July weekend, 2002, we packed up the final box
and loaded it onto a truck headed for our new home in Tehachapi,
California. Whew..... big job! The website was closed for a couple
of weeks from May thru June while we sorted things out and opened all those
boxes. We are now officially back in business full swing, and ready to
serve you from our lovely mountain hideaway. Look for new items to be
added to the shop in coming weeks.
Our New & Improved Website (July 2001)
We have just launched our re-designed (and
hopefully improved!) category pages, and a PayPal shopping cart. USA
orders are
now processed automatically through a PayPal
shopping cart, and you pay with your Visa or MasterCard upon checkout. No more waiting for a confirmation of
your purchase! Just add items to the cart as you browse, then provide your
credit card information to PayPal
when you're finished shopping. It's quick & easy!
Of course, we're still happy to receive payments by check or
Money Order if you'd prefer. To pay by snail mail or by cash thru
Western Union please use the Manual Order Form
button located in the top right on every category page.
