The NW Picker Shop, where every shelf holds a surprise...
Visit Shop 68, where eclectic antiques and pop culture collide in the most entertaining way possible. Known as The NW Picker Shop, this space is packed floor to ceiling with an ever-changing mix of vintage curiosities, colorful glassware, and nostalgia-fueled finds. A plush Garfield perched atop a mint green vintage pedal car sets the tone right away. Below him, shelves burst with blue art glass dolphins and owls, Murano-style blown glass bowls, red and amber art glass vases, and brass figurines of cats, seals, and birds.
Tiki collectors, pull up a chair. An entire shelf is devoted to vintage and modern tiki mugs in brown, turquoise, and carved wood-grain styles, topped by a hand-painted "Tiki Bar" sign. Nearby, a standout collection of vintage packaging and advertising tins lines another shelf, from Schilling spice containers and Wakefield Coffee cans to P&G soap boxes, Butterfinger candy displays, and a charming "Happiness Candy Special" price card. The vintage advertising theme continues with Coca-Cola signs, a National Biscuit Shredded Wheat box, and humorous novelty signs scattered throughout. Uranium glass glows green under the light alongside bold orange and purple tumblers and brass candlesticks.
The pop culture picks run deep here. You'll spot Star Wars action figures still in packaging, a Seinfeld DVD set, Wheel of Fortune and Password board games, vintage vinyl records, and character t-shirts. Shelves of books and DVDs share space with Seattle Seahawks memorabilia, sock monkeys in a vintage suitcase, an artist's wooden mannequin, and a rack of vintage clothing including a bright yellow patent leather handbag. Polish pottery, Corning Ware casseroles, mid-century ceramics in pink and blue, and a red rotary telephone round out a shop that truly has a little bit of everything. If you love browsing eclectic antiques with no idea what you'll find next, Shop 68 never disappoints. For more pop culture and vintage fun, check out Shop 42 or browse the curiosities at Shop 66.
