About us
Hi there, and welcome to my shop!
This enterprise is a bit of an experiment for me! I found myself in-between jobs in September 2021 and I was looking for something to do. At the time I was 26 and had only really worked in NHS settings.
In my personal life I collect coins and banknotes from all ages and countries, enjoy classic cars (I have my dream list) and sleep too much.
I've always had interest in old and peculiar items, and found my fair share of strange things over the years! I often find myself bidding on items at auction and learn new things all the time. Did you know that some toothpastes had asbestos in them after WWII? Me neither!
For the meantime, this is more an experiment rather than a full business, but fingers crossed things go well! Who knows, maybe I'll get shop location and have a Morris Minor van with shop decals at some point.
I want you to feel welcome to my website, whoever you are and whatever your background is. Whether you're looking for something a bit unusual, collect things as a hobby or are looking for a gift for someone!
This is me, and a car I used to own
(I miss her, I’d like to know what she’s up to)
1924 Ford Model T Runabout
Otherwise known as ‘Maggie’

After a lot of preparation, we have moved from ‘Glenn’s Antiques, Collectables & Curiosities’ to Glenn’s Antiques & Vintage. There are a lot of things to learn, but will come with a lot of overall improvements for everyone who uses our site.
