What’s Old is New: Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show

Debuts on March 27-28

A new and exciting Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show opens to the public on March 27-28 at the Atlantic City Convention Center. Long anticipated by exhibitors and collectors alike, the show is managed by JMK Shows & Events and will feature a shopping experience that is not to be missed. The show encompasses more than 250,000 square feet and comes packed with hundreds of dealers featuring an array of inventory that represents the ultimate treasure hunt for collectors of everything from Barbie to the Barbizon School.
Antiques and collectibles of all types will be on display including furniture, toys, dolls, art, advertising, vintage fashions, Art Deco, lighting, ephemera, jewelry, Modernism, and much more. The event will include The Royal Doulton & Best of British Potteries Exposition and Conference where collectors can savor and purchase fine examples of Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Moorcroft, Hull and other masters of British pottery design.

One of the most exciting aspects of the show will be the Appraisal Center featuring appraisals by five prominent experts in antiques and collectibles. Leading the team is author, collector, and TV and radio personality Harry Rinker who many know from his weekly syndicated column, “Rinker on Collectibles” that appears in trade papers and dailies from coast to coast. Rinker’s Sunday morning call-in radio program, “Whatcha Got” on the morning of March 28th will feature exhibitors selected from the show.

Joining Mr. Rinker in the professional appraisal team is Linda Roberts from White Orchid Appraisals and Cindy Charleston Rosenberg, a specialist in American and European art from the Art Appraisal Firm. Doll specialist Dorothy Hunt from Sweetbriar Auctions and jewelry specialist Paula Fox from Paula Fox Appraisals will round out the panel of experts who will be on hand to help collectors and dealers to discover the inner secrets of their attic treasures for just five dollars per appraisal.

“Dating objects is the first step in guaranteeing merchandise,” advised Mr. Rinker. “Value is also contingent on place and moment and is ever changing; it often takes experts to help guide the public, and we’ll be in Atlantic City to help.” Rinker advises visitors that if they can’t bring in an object because of size, that he will be happy to work from a photograph. He suggests that people not be worried about a long line for appraisals. Everybody will get a number and can shop the show while waiting their turn to work with an expert. Finally, Mr. Rinker reminds collectors that he and his team can appraise both antiques and collectibles. “Remember that the hottest things in today’s marketplace can be from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.”

Returning buyers are in for a feast for the eyes with an array of antiques and collectibles for everybody. Exhibitor highlights include authentic Tiffany and European art glass presented by Philip Chasen Antiques and spool cabinets and antique sporting goods from Sport & Spool Antiques. Jay Lowe will bring a collection of dolls, American and European tin toys prior to 1940, and a good assortment of cast iron toys. Roseville, Weller, and Rookwood pottery will be well represented in the booth of Barbara Gerr Antiques, and Twin Tankard Antiques will feature one of the largest inventories of sixteenth to eighteenth century European pewter in the county. The show will feature Paul Nulton’s Glass Repair clinic on both days and expert porcelain and pottery repair by Louis on Saturday.

“Honesty, Integrity, Reputation, and Ethics are important components in all of our shows,” announced Allison Kohler, Director of JMK Shows. “We want our customers to know that Atlantic City is one of the best places to buy; we’re thrilled about the debut of our new Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show and encourage the public to join us in celebrating four hundred years of antiques and design.”
Show hours are 10 Am to 6 Pm on Saturday and 10 Am to 5 Pm on Sunday with early buying form 8:30 Am to 10 Am on Sunday. Admission for early buying is $25 and includes a weekend pass.

ALLISON KOHLER, JMK SHOWS, CHOSEN TO PRODUCE THE NEW ATLANTIC CITY ANTIQUES AND COLLECTORS SHOW

Atlantic City, NJ — It was a dark day in September that sent shockwaves coast to coast throughout the antiques industry when F&W announced the cancellation of the long-running Atlantique City Antiques Show. While the show had been in a downward spiral for the past several years, ultimately becoming not much more than a table-top collectibles show, many remembered it as the “grand-daddy” of this country’s antiques shows. Anybody who was anybody in the business had at one time or another, “set up” at Atlantique City, and, in its prime, had all exhibition halls filled with thousands of fine dealers and even more buyers. While the show became much less than that in the past few years, Atlantic City still remains in our minds as the destination for the finest and largest of antique events.

Behind the scenes, since F & W’s announcement, the Atlantic City Convention Center had been interviewing and evaluating a number of promoters who could bring a show representative of the caliber it once was, back to that venue. On Friday, October 2, 2009, Allison Kohler (PHOTO), owner, JMK Events, received the call that she had been chosen to bring a new antique show to Atlantic City. Within hours, the new Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show was born and, in true Allison Kohler style, by the end of the day, the JMKShows website already had a new entry in their event listings: “March 27 & 28, 2010, The Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show!”

JMK Shows, under the leadership of Kohler, has earned the reputation of producing events of exceptional quality with a keen eye to ensuring and maintaining the integrity of the event, the dealers and the merchandise. JMK’s Sarasota Shows, their Doll Shows and their flagship Morristown Shows speak for themselves in the level of quality events they produce and we can expect nothing less for the new Atlantic City show.

At this writing and on the phone with Allison, multi-tasking as always, she was finalizing contracts, booking flights to various cities to begin the task of visiting all the major antique shows across the country, her attitude was pure excitement. The infectious sort of excitement that is part of her “get it done” determination. She is thrilled at the opportunity to bring Atlantic City back even better and stronger than it was before. Re-branded, re-invented and highly vetted, on March 27, 2010, the doors will swing wide to 250,000 square feet filled with the finest antiques and collectibles in the country.

Kohler will create an antiques shopping experience not to be missed. The two-day event will combine all the genres of antiques and collectibles in one spectacular location yet they will be separated within the venue. Antique furniture and furnishings in one area, toys and ephemera in another, vintage clothing will have its own designated section, as will fine art and dolls, etc. For one admission, attendees will be able to visit and shop from several specialty shows under one roof. For dealers, this means attractive booth pricing structures depending on their specialty. For the antiques industry in this county, this means the injection of energy and integrity that is long overdue.

“I am honored and welcome the opportunity to create, re-invent and re-brand an event of this caliber in Atlantic City,” said Kohler. Within days of the announcement, she was already working with decorators to create the look of the show, floor plans are being set and contracts are ready to roll.

Dealers interested in obtaining information about exhibiting at the new and exciting Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show should visit the JMK website at www.JMKSHows.com, email Allison Kohler directly at JMKShows@aol.com or call the offices of JMK at (973) 927-2794.
