From Abraham Lincoln to Zoltar the Fortune Teller

Antiquities has cultivated long-lasting relationships with collectors, historians and other reputable treasure seekers in the antiques and memorabilia world. Therefore, we have had decades of direct access to thousands of historical, celebrity and novelty items.

Looking for that one hard to find piece?

Contact us to help find the special items you need for your collection. Who knows, you may just find something you never knew existed, but now just have to own for yourself. 

Featured today is an Abraham Lincoln Autographed Military Appointment.
This is the actual appointment Abraham Lincoln signed appointing Hammond as Surgeon General during the Civil War! It is signed by President Abraham Lincoln, and Edwin Stanton as Secretary of War. This is a major document and to make it even more remarkable, on the back of the piece is William Hammond's actual membership certificate in the American Philosophical Society, dated and signed October 21, 1859. There is quite a bit of history that will be included with this piece. Also, framed on the left of the display, you will find the original shipping tube in which this document was sent to William Hammond by Abraham Lincoln!

For a little at-home fortune, you can have Zoltar the Fortune Teller. 
Impress friends, and learn your own fortune! This classic arcade novelty is perfect entertainment for your home or business. The machine takes one-dollar bills in exchange for the animatronic gypsy's advice. Zoltar's crystal ball lights up, his hand, head and eyes move as he speaks various fortunes. Then, a written fortune is dispensed from the machine. Perfect for a lobby or game room.

These are just two treasures from our vast collection.

  1. I just saw "Big" the other night and there was Zoltar! A little different, but it's the guy!

    Loved your store when I was in Vegas in June. Happy to follow your blog now and looking forward to finding a refurbed Victrola I can afford!
