Vintage Treasures Found in Tulsa

"Vintage Antiques"

Located on Route 66 in the heart of Tulsa is an antique "mall" filled with treasures and trinkets from the past. Generations Antique Mall is one of Tulsa's largest antique stores with booths from vendors that come from all over Oklahoma to sell their antiques. 

Generations Antique Mall has been locally owned by the Buser family for generations, however up until 2006 it was an antique furniture store. Today the store is a collection of much more than just furniture. While browsing the store, one can find toys that bring you back to your childhood, jewelry that was once worn by members of an Oklahoma Native American, dishes that remind you of your grandparents home, and much more.

Judy, an employee and vendor of Generations Antique Mall says that the best part about the store is there is a little something for everyone. Whether you are looking for a unique gift or something special for your home, there are countless booths full of vintage items waiting to be discovered. 

Mr. Buser, the current owner, is frequently found in the store, and his extensive knowledge on vintage items is impressive. He is able to tell the year and value of almost every item brought in the store. He loves that something that, when originally made, was sold for only a few dollars can be sold for hundreds or thousands today. 

Generations makes a point of collecting local, historic items such as vintage post cards from Tulsa and Route 66, Cherokee tribal artifacts and much more. Next time you are searching for something unique and special, be sure to check out this hidden gem of a store, located just blocks from The University of Tulsa's Campus.
