THE OLE BLACKSMITH SHOP·SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2019·
The 'Ole Blacksmith Shop represents the culmination of a life-long passion for Cal Vance and his wife, Heather. The antique store is well stocked with vintage pieces and collectibles from every era and description. You'll find everything from homestead pieces to general store products, and everything in between. Cal purchased the building about four years ago with the original intention of using it as a workshop. Keeping with its early days of Shaunavon’s history was of the utmost importance. The building was constructed in 1929 as Fulton’s Blacksmith Shop. With that in mind, we produced dramatic results! The front of the store was completely gutted and transformed into a rustic, clean, and comfortable store. The rear part of the building is a workshop for restoring vintage pieces. Cal has been restoring antique tractors for about 30 years, and is now expanding that knowledge and expertise, using it to restore clients' precious antiques and heirlooms. Anything from furniture to tools, lamps, clocks, trunks, radios and record players. Customers can expect a pleasant, and honest experience dealing with us. Our intent is for you, the customer, to enjoy items from the past-to imagine whose hands held these items in days gone by; to think of those that have come before us and the history that has been made. A person who appreciates "antiques" is one who acknowledges our history as a society. These people feel gratitude for all of the ingenuity and tenacity of our predecessors, in using the tools and devices we now covet. Collecting antiques is a way of preserving the past, for those in the future.
