Vintage shopping has changed a lot since I first saw Traditions Antique Mall in Wildwood, Florida 15 years ago! A new generation of collectors seeks out vibrant MCM glass, vintage kitchenware and their plastic toys from their childhoods, while their parents (and kids) seem more enthralled by solid wood furniture, Waterford crystal and fancy antique porcelain ware.

With so many choices, it's more important than ever to learn how to tell contemporary and recently made collectibles from the originals that inspired them! So we comb this mall deeply in this video, showing how to tell new stained glass lamps from old, Victorian ruby flash from 1980s cranberry glass and new cast iron from originals. We enjoy a really well displayed 1940s kitchenware space, introduce another amazing American designer we haven't seen before, and shop this place hard to find deals we can share with our own collector customers!

Two floors and an outbuilding full of furniture make this a fun place to browse and learn, and we enjoy everything from 1950s fishing lures and a wellpriced Cambridge seagull flower frog to a RosenthalNetter vase, a Rosenthal porcelain figure (different Rosenthal!), vintage Disney figures, American oak and mahogany corner cabinets and both antique and vintage mahjongg sets. There's nothing like getting to see this kind of variety in person to help us learn more for our future antiquing adventures!
