Bacon's Antiques 95 Maple Avenue, Hartford, CT 06114

"I have dealt with Mr. Bacon for more than 40 years and he is the real deal when it comes to antiques. He could write a book about the knowledge that he has. I don't understand why anyone would question his integrity as he has always been fair with me. His business was established in 1947 which makes him one of the oldest antique shops in the state. Most people realize that the antique business is not an easy one. Many people try it and are not successful. Mr Bacon has worked very hard all his life to make his business a success. He is working shorter hours now and deservedly so. I wish him good luck and good health when he finally retires."

"I've lived in this town for over 30 years and I manged to finally get into this place about a year ago by pressing my face on the door and knocking and looking stupid until the guy I saw sitting behind the counter decided to let me in. He let me look around for a second and was surprised by the amount of really neat stuff he had in there. There's a lot to dig through and I'm sure I only saw a tiny portion of what was actually there. He normally deals with big buyers that then go out and re-sell his items to the public. He generally doesn't deal with retail. I didn't come with cash in hand so I couldn't buy anything but the guy told me that he's open to customers by appointment only."
