A Collector's Eye

"I went to this shop for a second time after my kids bought some items here last year. To save the kids the long car ride just to go to this one store, we decided that we would do a video walkthrough. To my surprise, there were signs posted on the outside saying you can’t take photos inside the store. I thought it was a bit odd so I went inside to ask the owner if it was okay if I do a video call with my kids so they could see what new items he had and possibly make a purchase. He quickly said “No! That is not possible!…Where are they?” I told him and he said “No! You will have to plan another trip with them, you can’t do that here.” Shocked, I left. I couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t allow me to show my kids the store via video. I personally don’t want them spending their hard earned chore money in this store after that interaction. Very disappointing."

"I can’t begin to say enough about this shop. From the owner to the items in his collection if you are a rue WWII collector this is the guy and shop you need to visit. Being the Team historian for a WWII jump team he has some amazing rare finds. As you can see from the photos awesome 511 Warren street Hudson NY. Awesome place."

"Can spend hours in this store. Conrad, the owner, is a historian through and through. I had a wonderful time talking about history and him showing me all of his amazing collectables this past Saturday. Wasn't able to make it back the next day, but definitely plan on returning to buy something and at the very least enjoy a great conversation. His commitment to preserving historical military (and other) memorabilia, as well as helping out the people/estates looking to monetize their old things, is quite admirable"

"Very nice and tidy antique shop, probably the best for militaria from clothes to tools to knives. Also an incredible collection of 78 rpm records that are hard to find!"

"Wonderful shop with an incredibly knowledgeable owner. “Every item has a story” Anyone going to Hudson should check this shop out. The owner convinced me to look into my own grandfathers WWII history and to preserve his memory."
