Anything Really Funky

The historical foundation of our business

really began back in 1955,

when Chuck began collecting treasures

in his little red Radio Flyer wagon,

wearing his official Davy Crockett boots.

Since those days,

our enterprise has evolved from

a multi-generational hobby

into a growing business.

Our varied careers and interests as

printer, graphic artist, archaeologist,

ancient history teacher, and writer

add a rich dimension

to our abilities to research

and gain a better understanding of the context

of each treasure we discover.

We strive to provide our customers with

honest, accurate, and informative descriptions

of our merchandise.

We are known for our integrity;

selling only authentic items.

At any given time, buyers can choose from items in categories such as soda collecting, print media, linens, silver, glassware, china, toys, primitives, modern collectibles, advertising, transportation, and areas of specific regional interest, among many others.

We currently have two booths

at a local antique mall:

"ANTICO"

for the more refined items

"CHUCK'S CAVE"

for the ever popular "guy stuff"

like ashtrays,

beer items,

telephone pole insulators,

antique hardware,

commodes, and chamber pots.

(Yes, we have at least three.)

Our booths are located within

Fulton's Folly Antique Collective,

at 920 East Olive Avenue, in Fresno, California.

We list items from time-to-time on eBay. Our eBay username is anticobella.

Due to our full-time day jobs as teachers, we currently do not have any items listed on eBay, but keep checking- especially during extended vacations and summertime.
