The 26th Annual Show
July 25-27, 2008
Port Carling, Ontario

The 26th annual show features 40 great dealers. 

• Bob, Louise and Jay Charbonneau, Ivy Manor Antiques, are also setting up for the second time at Port Carling.  They sell silver plate and Sterling flatware and hollowware.  They also sell Moorcroft and other pottery.
• Paul Braybrook, from Sarnia, is returning in 2008.  Paul sells a lot of 20th century furnishings and accessories, but he also has a large inventory of early Canadian stock.
• Also returning is Jon Clark, from London.  He has a passion for Canadian pressed glass.  He does a great deal of research and gladly passes his findings on to his customers.  A stickler for detail, Jon puts on a superb display of great glass.
• Ken Aubrey from Ottawa, one of the best names in nostalgia, early advertising and vintage paper.  Imagine a turn-of-the-century small town general store and that is close to what you’ll see in these displays – antique coffee tins, old beer trays, advertising pieces, store counter displays, vintage toys and so on.
• David Stewart, The Brooklin Antiquarian, has done every Port Carling show since the first one in 1982.  Most people are familiar with the excellent pine furniture and large pine mirrors that are David’s specialty.  This year he’ll have the usual display of refinished country furniture, including a 10 foot harvest table and an oversized glass door cupboard.  In addition, this year, David will be displaying a most interesting collection of sports items.  This is something new for David and he has had some fun over the winter rounding up this collection.
• These dealers will be joined by a large contingent of returning regulars.  This list includes Caroline and Bill Byfield, Scott and Karen Young, Bill Pinkney,  the Frydays and many more.  In all, 40 first rate dealers will put on a display of antiques and collectibles that should rank among the best ever assembled at the Muskoka Antique Show.
