The Grist Mill Antiques Center in Pemberton, N.J., is on a beach holiday. Its seasonal sales display is all about the shore, featuring vintage seaside photographs, antique oyster plates, shore town postcards and Atlantic City memorabilia. Sand pails, sunglasses, sand toys and beach badges are reminiscent of days spent enjoying the surf and sand.
A fun collectible, the oyster plate dates to the Victorian era. The shape was designed for oysters to be served without the shell. Today, these plates are sought after for their various styles, color and decorative appeal. Dealers at the Grist Mill have brought in a fine selection, including a set of eight Majolica oyster plates.
A special shop discount is in effect for the remainder of summer. All merchandise priced $6 or more is 20 percent off. In addition to the shop discount, each week the Grist Mill has a 25-percent off sale on a selected theme.
The August Scavenger Hunt will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 28, from 5 to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate good at the Grist Mill or sister shop, Haddon Heights Antiques Center. Follow both shops on Facebook and Instagram or sign up for a weekly newsletter to receive updates on events and weekly sales. To sign up, email theplace@gristmillantiques.com.
