SALE DAY SATURDAY 6/21/2025, 12-5PM

OFFERING PRESALE VIEWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Saints and sinners alike are welcomed into a one-of-a-kind business moving sale, as we bid farewell to De Nolf’s Barbershop, recently relocated from their location at Vested Interest.

This barbershop turned cabinet of curiosities boasts a distinctive collection—where heritage craftsmanship meets the morbid and sublime. This is not a collection of things—it’s a collection of energies. From weathered devotional icons to taxidermy and apothecary drawers, each item intimates deeper truths, darker aesthetics. A moody archive of the beautiful and bizarre, where liturgical remnants, timeworn industrial artifacts, and vintage mourning pieces present a compelling mix of reverence and irreverence. 

Discover a thoughtfully curated assortment of macabre antique and vintage treasures, including (but not limited) to:

  • rare vintage Sheaffer Pens and Pencils standing (oak, glass-top) display case
  • Tascam Digital Portastudio Multi-track Recorder
  • red Puch Maxi moped, c. 1972-1976
  • vintage US Army-issue field gear barber kit, likely WWII-era
  • midcentury barbershop cabinet
  • classic Antares Snack & Soda Combo Vending Machine
  • ornate antique cash register
  • four striking, custom-built barbershop cabinets, crafted by Abandoned Relik of Southwest Michigan
  • various antique display cases
  • cast-iron bench ends
  • various small tables
  • vintage and antique religious art and artifacts
  • vintage and antique signage incl large, visually arresting antique Imperial Kerosene sign
  • gazelle neck mount
  • mounted large-mouth bass
  • hand-carved, hand-painted folk masks
  • pedestal plant stands
  • vintage luggage
  • small patio set with three chairs

 

Each piece tells a story, from the soulful to the strange, making this a truly unforgettable collection for the collector of the cerebral and uncanny: vintage relics steeped in forgotten stories, sacred symbols, and shadowed pasts. For those who see poetry in patina and charm in the uncanny—this is a sale worth attending.

Antique and vintage medicinal and display bottles.Vintage “Today Special” Imperial Service Station SignThis striking, industrial-era metal sign once advertised the daily specials at a roadside filling station or general store. Featuring bold white block lettering on a vivid, weather-worn orange background, it reads:

“TODAY SPECIAL
IMPERIAL
MOTOR OIL
KEROSENE
CIGARETTES”

The surface exhibits a well-aged patina with chipping paint, oxidation, and surface rust consistent with authentic mid-20th century outdoor signage. The typography and design suggest a production date between the 1940s and 1960s, possibly Canadian or Upper Midwest in origin due to the use of “Imperial” oil branding.

The sign is mounted on a wood backing and retains a gritty, timeworn appeal—ideal for collectors of petroliana, industrial décor, Americana, or the macabre, given its nostalgic nod to a grittier, more visceral era of commerce.Vintage Industrial Rotating Metal Coat Rack. Functional and structurally sound, with desirable surface wear and oxidation typical for its age and usage. No visible repairs or modifications detracting from original character.Vintage Industrial Rotating Metal Coat Rack, could easily be positioned as a dark, functional sculpture.Modern Cast Iron Table Bases by Bear Hollow Supply
