Vintage Ertl International 1596 Tractor with Accessories

Ertl was instrumental in the development and construction of the National Farm Toy Museum. The museum opened in 1986, and houses a large collection of farm toys, collectibles and memorabilia.

Antique Leather Trunk

13909 Antiques has a piece that Central Casting would sign up and give it a starring role.

Antique Leather SteamerTrunk

This is in fair condition, and the new owner will need to give it some love.

This, a good, old-fashioned Steamer Trunk, is from the Early 1900's, handles are gone and leather is in rough shape, however, it is a spacious trunk, and you can't help thinking about how, back in the day, people toting this to the dock and embarking on a trip, likely, with all their possessions in it.


It's numbers are 35"L, 21"W and 24"T

Use it for storage, decorate your hall with it, or fit some glass atop it for a unique coffee table.




I'll give a good deal on this to whoever comes in first for it - Only $240, of B/O

Vintage Fenton Slag Glass Duck-On-Nest

"Holy colorful canard, Batman!"

We got another beauty into 13909 Antiques

Vintage Fenton Slag Glass Duck-On-Nest 

This is from the mid-1960's, and is both beautiful, scarce, and in excellent condition, maufactured by Fenton Art Glass as a contract mold, and sold by the L.G. Wright Co. 



It has a unique double-elevated tail, is 6.5" long and is even more collectible, as it has large separate bands of both Opal & Purple Slag glass, making it a most dynamic display (beyond those with minimal color variations / patterns)



This spectacular piece is 6.5 X 4.25 X 4.5" tall and weighs a robust 1lb,10 oz.

New Summer Hours for 13909 Antiques

Our apologies, as we meant to get this posted earlier this week.

13909 Antiques, beginning June 1st, has moved to its' Summer Hours.

New Summer Hours

Monday:  Off - By Appointment
Tuesday:  Off - By Appointment
Wednesday:  11AM - 7PM
Thursday:​    11AM​ - ​8PM​
Friday: 10AM - 6PM
Saturday:  9AM - 5PM
Sunday: 11AM - 5PM


While our Off-Day has been Tuesday, we will also be closed on Mondays, for June/July/August.

The reason is two-fold;

1. 13909 Antiques plans on participating in various Flea Markets (as we did this past Sunday, at the Somerville Flea Market), and it would be a rather big load to carry, doing the Flea Market on Sunday and reopening on Monday.

2. Summer, in the Antique World, tends to be a bit slower ... Vacations, and glorious beach days take priority over hunting for Antiques, so we will go-with-the-flow on that


We will continue our Thursday schedule, of 11AM to 8PM (Hint, Hint ... You can come here after work), and will now be open on Wednesdays, until 7PM

As always, on both our Off-Days, we are available for appointments, either in-store, or on-site, so don't hesitate to ask


So take note of the New Summer Hours, and plan on visiting 13909 Antiques.

We have a bevy of items, and our customers are continually complimenting us on our inventory, so get here and check it out
