More than 120 exhibiting antique dealers and collectors will converge on Gettysburg, Pa., Saturday, May 20, for the 50th annual Gettysburg Spring and Fall Outdoor Antique Show. The fall edition will take place on Saturday, Sept. 23.
Sprawling out from Gettysburg’s historic Lincoln Square, this event is billed as a “buyers and sellers” paradise, with a range of antiques and collectibles. Items from primitive cupboards, sideboards, benches, farm tables, and wooden boxes to lamps, coins, pattern glass, art glass, Depression-era glass, and ironstone will be shown for sale. Shoppers can also find clocks, jewelry, photos, pocket knives, bottles, old toys, crocks, old linens, dolls, pocket watches, holiday collectibles, postcards, and country farm items. Brand-name pieces of Heisey, Cambridge, Fostoria, R.S. Prussia, Limoges, Haviland, Rockwood, Roseville, and carnival glass will also be featured.
“This is a great semiannual tradition in Gettysburg,” said John Angstadt, the event’s organizer, “Dealers, collectors and casual buyers all enjoy the Gettysburg Outdoor Antique Show.”
The event is held on Carlisle, Chambersburg, Baltimore and York streets, along with Lincoln Square, in downtown Gettysburg. The show is held rain or shine beginning at 7 a.m. and lasts until 4 p.m.
The proceeds from this show support community activities of the Gettysburg Area Retail Merchants Association.
