Welcome to Wally's World...
Visit Shop 31, known around the mall as "Wally's World," and step into one of the most well-stocked collections of antique carpenter tools and vintage knives you'll find in the Pacific Northwest. This long-running shop is home to an impressive selection of wood handplanes in every size and style, from smooth planes and jack planes to block planes and jointer planes with beautifully aged wooden bodies and hand-forged blades. If you collect antique carpenter tools or simply appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era, these shelves will keep you browsing for a while.
The knife collection is a standout. Shop 31 carries one of the largest selections of knives in the entire mall, with folding pocket knives, hunting knives, fixed-blade collectibles, and display pieces spanning decades of blade-making tradition. Vintage lighters sit alongside the knives, from classic Zippos to ornate tabletop models, making this a go-to spot for collectors of everyday carry from past generations.
Beyond the tools and blades, Wally's World holds a surprising range of treasures. Antique fishing lures and tackle in their original packaging appeal to sportfishing enthusiasts, while WWII memorabilia including military insignia, field equipment, and wartime collectibles draw history buffs. You'll also find pottery, vintage glassware, and an ever-rotating mix of curiosities that keep regulars coming back to see what's new. Wally's World has been part of Pacific Antiques Mall longer than most shops, and that experience shows in the quality and depth of what's on the shelves. For more antique carpenter tools and vintage hand tools, visit Shop 57 and Shop 16.

Your Next Antique Treasure is Waiting.
This converted Westinghouse watthour meter lamp is one of those only-in-an-antique-mall finds — the original glass dome face and dial registers are fully intact, now topped with a brass harp and cream shade at Shop 31. Three Bud Ice Light bottles flank a stout ceramic English Bulldog figurine — the kind of bar and breweriana pairing that works perfectly together at Shop 31. This United Clock Corp. copper carriage clock is a real eye-catcher — ornate scrollwork, spoke wheels, and an original dial, all in one tidy mantel piece at Shop 31. A brass trumpet in its original hard case shares the counter with vintage glass marbles and an industrial cage light — a characteristic mix of the unexpected at Shop 31. The flower-bordered Shop 31 sign is surrounded by the shop's personality — a yellow ribbed ceramic vase, a jar of seashells, and shelves packed with colorful ceramics and glassware just waiting to be explored. A wide-angle look at Shop 31 shows just how much ground this space covers — Coca-Cola tins, ceramic cookie jars, pressed glass, die-cast toys, vintage photos, and two full counter units of smalls make it a rewarding browse from end to end. A lineup of vintage woodworking hand planes — Bailey-style bench planes, a yellow Stanley block plane, a low-angle plane, and more — fills the lower shelf, while folding pocket knives and sheathed hunting knives round out this well-stocked tool counter at Shop 31. This tall cabinet at Shop 31 is packed floor to ceiling with surprises — a Folger's spice tin and Edison Blue Amberol Record canister on the upper shelves, Mariners bobbleheads and wooden building blocks in the middle, and a brass trumpet and cast iron fireplace tools rounding out the bottom. Shop 31 is packed with vintage Americana, from brass instruments and glass marbles to die-cast toy trucks, antique advertising tins, and Edison-era collectibles. Two large pressed glass candy jars anchor the cabinet top alongside a Victorian portrait in a gold-leaf frame, a candlestick telephone, and a Texaco semi truck, while the shelves below overflow with ceramic banks, apothecary bottles, and vintage smalls at Shop 31. A full set of moose antlers with skull plate commands the top of the cabinet, flanked by a Victorian portrait in a gold frame and a white milk glass bowl, with ruby red glass decanters and a chromolithograph print of a Victorian girl adding more character below at Shop 31. A Coca-Cola tin sign and a Kennedy campaign poster anchor the wall display at Shop 31, alongside a Philippines Weapons of Moroland plaque, a Speer Bullets advertising print, and a framed 1990 Seattle Goodwill Games collector pin set. A round oak table laid out with early 20th-century periodicals — The Housekeeper from 1903, Success Magazine from 1906, The Illustrated Review from 1919, Railroad Magazine, and a Gone with the Wind Deluxe Edition boxed set among the highlights at Shop 31. A Victorian-style birdcage perched atop a flat-top steamer trunk makes a striking centerpiece, joined by a gold-framed cat print, a carved bas-relief panel, and a tall walking stick at Shop 31. The 1990 Seattle Goodwill Games collector pin set is a genuine piece of Pacific Northwest sports history — roughly 30 enamel pins spanning international flag pairs, event mascots, and commemorative logos, all framed and ready to display at Shop 31. A yellow die-cast touring car and a multi-language coffee mug share the top shelf, while milk glass lamp shades, a floral ceramic candy dish, and a cobalt blue footed bowl fill out this well-stocked unit at Shop 31.

Elvis decanter shows the King in full white jumpsuit regalia — a classic piece of music and breweriana crossover collectible at Shop 31.

Green Depression glass plates, a pink carnival glass compote, and a ruffled amber carnival glass bowl give this section of Shop 31 a warm glow, with a bucking horse sculpture, a Giving Plate, and vintage Coca-Cola carriers rounding out the shelves. The Elvis McCormick decanter, a John Deere green kerosene lantern, and the converted Westinghouse meter lamp all share the upper shelf at Shop 31, with a bucking horse sculpture, amethyst glass decanter, and ruby red bell filling the shelves below. A large amber carnival glass bowl and a ruby red glass decanter anchor the upper shelves, while cast iron cherub bookends, a cowbell, a Shakespeare bust, and a collection of cast iron skillets and hardware make this a rewarding section to dig through at Shop 31. A chrome car clock, Big Eyes doll, cobalt blue pitcher, and pressed glass bear figurines share the top shelf, while a framed baby portrait, bronze cherubs, and a cast iron clothes iron round out this packed section at Shop 31. Franciscan Desert Rose plates, a pink art glass vase, and two John Deere tractor models anchor the upper shelves, while beer tap handles, a brass hand bell, and an amethyst glass vase fill out the lower sections at Shop 31. A brilliant cut glass punch bowl and a cobalt blue cut glass vase share the upper shelf with a red Texaco biplane and a yellow fire hydrant cookie jar, while a pewter teapot, blue Fiestaware bowl, and a wooden ship's wheel mirror fill the lower shelf at Shop 31. The wooden ship's wheel mirror is a standout piece here, sitting in front of shelves stocked with a brilliant cut glass punch bowl, a Texaco biplane, blue Fiestaware, and a yellow fire hydrant cookie jar at Shop 31. A clear glass oil lamp, a gray steel school lunch box, and a brown Bakelite lunch box line the cabinet top at Shop 31 — simple, satisfying finds above a cabinet packed with a bronze horse and ceramic duck below. A big jar of mixed seashells — turritella spirals, oysters, cowries, and more — sits right at the entrance to Shop 31 at Pacific Antiques Mall in Tacoma, WA. Vintage fishing lures, an Ocean City reel in box, a Pflueger reel, and a Motorific Torture Track game share the counter with a framed presidential campaign button collection spanning Kennedy to Reagan — this section of Shop 31 rewards a slow, careful look. Vintage spice tins, a Pflueger tackle collection, Pearl Wobbler and Fishtrap lure cards, and a cigar box full of colorful spinners and floats fill this counter, alongside a framed presidential button collection and a Motorific Torture Track game at Shop 31. A matched pair of vintage automobile horns — chrome tubes with brass coil fittings and flared bells — mounted on an oak board above a wooden printer's type tray at Shop 31. A wicker fishing creel with leather trim, a Pepsi-Cola wooden bottle crate, and a gray metal storage crate top the cabinet, while vintage spice tins, fishing lures, and a teal ceramic lamp base with cherub figure fill the shelves below at Shop 31.
