Mattituck Historical Society's 30th Annual Antique Show Hits MHS

Antique vendors and collectors from across Long Island showed their wares on Saturday.

Antique and vintage vendors from East Marion to Farmingville set up shop at on Saturday for the 30th annual antique show, a fundraiser for society.

Diane Boone and Barbara Amrkein of in Jamesport said that books and historic postcards were big sellers this year as opposed to bigger ticket items.

Book collector Gianna Volpe was stoked to have found historic prints of some of her favorite classic books — "Wuthering Heights," "The Last of the Mohicans," and "Robinson Crusoe."

"I've read them all, I just really love the animations in these," she said.

William and Nilda Plonski, owners of East Marion's Willy-Nilly antiques, said that sterling silver was selling well during their first go at the Mattituck show.

"The bracelets seem to be moving well," said William, a former history teacher-turned antique dealer. William and his wife have been collecting historic knic-knacks like bottle openers, dolls — like a Russian "nesting doll" featuring U.S. presidents from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton going for $45 — and many historic books and documents.

"We go to yard sales, garage sale and hit a few auctions," William said. "The goodies always seem to be at the bottom of the box."

RE classic books ""I've read them all, I just really love the animations in these," Animations? In a book? Perhaps you mean illustrations dear.

once it is moved, it needs to be tuned, no one is going to help you with the moving costs.

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.

And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.
