Super fun place to visit and explore. We were on 2nd St for the Pomona Street Faire and stopped by to check things out. Friendly staff. Everything from tea sets to clothing to vintage jewelry to records. Come check it out--you'll have many nooks and crannies to explore. Collectibles, thingamajigs, baubles, and treasures at reasonable prices with frequent mini sales.

Great selection of antiques and new collectibles. Located in the historic district of Pomona. Lots to look at. Two floors of antiques to explore. Just wish they had AC tho. Props to the workers at the front keeping the place open!

This place sells only trash with expensive prices on it. There are signs stating that everything is 50% and the cashier doesn't grantee it. I got a cracked thing that it is very hard to notice and called them to ask for an exchange but they said NO EXCHANGE NOR RETURNS which is a bad policy for the trash they sell. Do not waste your money buying things there. It is better to give the money to charities or places that promote less fortunate people wellbeing.

A great antique store to find a variety of collectibles. The store has vintage sports memorabilia, U.S. coins & paper currency, toys, glassware, ceramics, jewelry, military, vinyl records and many other collectables. The employees are very helpful. A fun place to visit.

Found out today that Persnickity rents booths to people who sell Nazi memorabilia and refuse to be accountable for the use of their space to do so. It's appalling that this business would show such a lack of responsibility and care. This sort of behavior cannot be tolerated. When I called to speak with them they told me they were not responsible for what people sold in their space and that I should just understand that sometimes it's just like this. Do your thing internet

I was intrigued to go into this store, and thought many of their items were great. But they have a whole section behind locked glass of nazi memorabilia. I walked out as soon as i saw that. Extremely disappointed.
This stuff should be donated to the museum of tolerance or the Smithsonian, If they even want it. This is sensitive material that spreads hate, and should be in a place to educate people, not for resale.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 515777867Sep 15, 2016
This is one of my favorite places of all time, anywhere, of anything and everything.
Its a bonafide time capsule, a hoarder's delight, a place where all time screeches to a halt, a time-waster, a worm-hole, the last of the tech-less, rush-less, unplugged bastions of expertly curated junque/treasure in this quadrant of the universe.
I can spend the better part of a Saturday afternoon slowly, methodically browsing every booth, reminiscing, mumbling to myself, daydreaming (or hallucinating), leisurely flipping through 1980's cassette tapes, lps, old lady hats, sets of dishes, old timey tools, 19th-century postcards, and doll-house furniture. It is so comforting, yet so melancholy, because I know someday it will be gone. When old-town Pomona becomes gentrified, and I will rue that day, places like this most likely will be converted into (insert shudder) Joe's Crab Shack or Houston's. Its bound to happen, but until then, enjoy it and enjoy it well.
This visit I was blessed to be rung up by the Mr. and Mrs., and they are a utter delight. Even the register system is circa 1980 -something, and the entire transaction was fabulous.
That is all.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Shanna B.Tustin, CA56230143May 23, 2019
Planned a long awaited day of antiquing in Pomona today and our first stop happened to be this store. Thank goodness because it is one of the best antique stores we have been in. A HUGE selection and with very reasonable prices! Lots of deals and Lauren and the other woman were so incredibly helpful and just lovely. There was other floors but we only did the main floor. We had such a wonderful time and we will definitely go back and finish exploring.
Go visit this Saturday May 25, 2019. The whole of downtown will be having a street fair! Make sure you stop here first for the best deals.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
