Interesting shop in an old storefront in downtown Jerome, ID. The owner, Frank, is usually pretty easy to get along with, and the store has a variety of interesting things on display, a little something for most everyone. However, be forewarned, Frank does a lot of other things also, including selling at some antique shows around the Western US in the summertime. It's been my experience that every time I go to town I find the store locked up. He does keep his phone number on the front door and is usually pretty responsive about coming and opening it up if you give him a call. Often, he's there in less than 15 min if he's in town. It's an okay solution, I guess. I always feel obligated to buy things when I put someone off of their normal schedule. He's told me before that there's no obligation to buy when he comes to open it up, but there's always that tiny bit of uncomfortable-ness knowing that you dragged him over to the shop.His prices seem pretty fair. Visit here spring through fall. Because it's not always open regularly, the heat doesn't seem to be on much in the wintertime, and that makes for some cold shopping.Visit if you're out on the town anyway, but don't make it a destination location, because of its smaller size, distance from other antique shops, and because of the erratic schedule of opening hours.
