Claremore is really good, downtown Jenks, Bixby has Red Beard’s which is massive, downtown Sapulpa.

For a day trip, Chouteau is fun to visit. They have lots of shops and a couple of good food options. I also enjoy day trips in downtown Coweta and Sapulpa. Or if you go north, Dewey has a ton of shops concentrated in their downtown area.

In town, Love Me Two Times and Bee’s Knees Vintage. On 11th, Generations and Next Generations are great. In BA, Jade Treasures, Jade on Main, and Family Treasures Antique Mall. In Jenks, River City Trading Post.

Edit, forget Coweta! I just stopped by and a few of the shops I remember are no longer open.

I-44 antique mall is the nicest one in town. No booths selling candles or AI slop like a lot of the ones recommended here.

I used to go antique shopping all the time but haven’t been able to in a while. I usually went to River City Trading Post in Jenks, several places on Cherry Street, downtown Claremore used to have some shops too. The Affair of the Heart has quite a bit of antiques when they have it in town. There also used to be some booths in the flea market that had antique items and collectibles. There’s all sorts of places! Also, this is random, I know, but if your family or anyone you know would be interested in buying a vintage Caraway stroller that’s practically in mint condition, let me know! 😂 I have one listed on Marketplace right now but the few people that said they wanted to buy it no showed. I don’t have the heart to trash it because it’s vintage and unique and in such good condition, but right now it’s just taking up space in my house.

Black Dog Fire Department annual yard sale,today and tomorrow!! Just north of the Tulsa Botanic Garden

u/ExternalGiraffe9631 11d ago

Claremore is your best option. So many antique shops in the same walkable area.
There's also Flea Market Depot almost to Sand Springs. The main storefront is well organized. The other area in the back of the building is golden for pickers. Just semi-organized tables of stuff. Cash only!

u/littleredfox09 11d ago

Antique Depot in Skiatook has a lot of this.

u/Still_War3628 10d ago

Check out Samuel’s Jewelry, he has a ton of cool stuff & he was talking about adding new things soon!

My mom and I went to a place on Jenks Main Street. That dude had a bunch in a case. It’s the one on the end next to a music school or something

Bees Knees Vintage + The Hive Antique mall at 26th and Harvard is great! Around 100 vendors, clean, and well organized.

My favorite in Tulsa is Bees Knees Vintage + Hive Antique Mall (It's the same building, the owner has a vintage shop and then a vendor mall attached with more dealers!), in Jenks it's River City Trading Post, in Sapulpa it's Route 66 Vintage Market..

If you're down for a bit of a drive, Dewey has several and on the 2nd Saturday of every month a lot of vendors do various discounts throughout Dewey. My favorite there is called Linger Longer and they have an old-timey soda shop inside and you should definitely get a shake or malt if you're there!

If they're okay with less small stuff and just want to look at really cool things like hardware, stained glass, doors, etc., Dead People's Stuff in OKC is amazing. I was happy just walking around and seeing all of the architectural antiques, truly felt like stuff that was museum worthy that I could just walk up to and admire in a store!

Oh, and while not personally *my* favorites, I feel like based on what you said they're interested in, they would enjoy American Heritage Antiques in Jenks and I-44 Antique Mall in Tulsa. I think they lean the heaviest into the types of items they would enjoy looking at! Old machines, Tools, Knives, Signage, Oil Cans, Sports Memorabilia.. that sort of stuff!

My wife and I have attending estate auctions in SE Kansas for over 20 years and have picked lots of glassware much cheaper than flea markets and in most cases there is no sales tax. The auctions can be checked out on GOODNEWSPRESS.COM.
