About
Who is OPA’S VINTAGE GAL?

He dealt in various goods, from textiles to kitchenware, electronics and toys, and was known for his exceptional quality and fair prices....

"If I Find…" – Your Vintage Wish List
Have you been searching high and low for something from your past you desperately want to own again? As I dig through my warehouses of untouched treasures from the 1950's–1990's, I just might uncover it for you. Let’s bring your dream find back to life!
Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to help you shop with confidence.
Where Does All This Inventory Come From?
It all started when I ventured back into our family’s vintage warehouse, a treasure trove of untouched inventory dating back to the 1950s. Every item had been meticulously preserved, never sold, and hidden from public access for over 30 years. Today, that legacy continues to grow. I'm now actively sourcing from trusted collectors, former shop owners, and private archives across the country, always seeking mint-condition, unused vintage that meets our standard: never worn, never opened, and totally authentic. Each piece we offer remains a rare find, a true time capsule.
Why Can't I Return Items I Buy From You?
Because we specialize in new old stock, untouched, unworn, and often still sealed, every item we offer is a piece of history. Once opened or handled, it’s no longer in its original, collectible condition. That’s why all sales are final. We want every customer to feel confident and excited about their purchase, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions before you buy. In rare cases, we may consider an exchange, but these are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed.
What Is "NOS" Or "New Old Stock"?
New Old Stock (NOS) refers to vintage items that were made decades ago but never sold, never used, and often never even opened. These pieces have been sitting untouched, sometimes for 30, 40, even 70 years, waiting to be discovered. They still carry their original tags, packaging, or boxes, exactly as they were first stocked.
Think of it as vintage with a time machine twist, items that are authentically old, but genuinely brand new. That’s the magic of NOS. Whether it's clothing, accessories, or collectibles, every piece brings the craftsmanship, style, and story of its era, preserved perfectly until now.
When you shop NOS, you're not just buying vintage. You're unwrapping a moment frozen in time.
What Should I Know When I Buy New Old Stock?
One of the most rewarding parts of owning New Old Stock is bringing something old — but never used — back to life. While these items are untouched and often still in their original packaging, time has still passed. And with time, a little tinkering can go a long way.
Even brand-new vintage can require a bit of care. Materials like rubber, foam, or adhesives may age in storage, and items with mechanical or electronic components might need light servicing or testing. That’s part of the magic — NOS gives you the thrill of discovering something pristine and the satisfaction of restoring it to full function.
We carefully inspect every item that’s not factory sealed to ensure it matches our description and condition standards. But we don’t open sealed packages or test electronics, so it’s important to understand that some items may need a tune-up to perform like they did decades ago.
If you're not the tinkering type, we’re happy to help connect you with a trusted service provider in your area. But if you are someone who finds joy in the hum of a motor finally turning on — or the perfect fix of a vintage zipper — NOS might be exactly what you never knew you needed.
How Can I Find Someone I Trust To Service These Special Items?
We know how important it is to keep vintage treasures working as beautifully as they look. That’s why we’ve built a growing list of trusted service providers who specialize in vintage electronics and mechanical restoration — from classic radios and record players to lamps, clocks, and more.
These are skilled professionals who understand the quirks of older materials, outdated components, and the gentle touch required to work with New Old Stock. If you need help finding someone in your area, we’re happy to connect you.
And if you happen to be a vintage repair expert and want to be considered for our referral list, reach out! We’re always looking to grow our circle of specialists who help bring these pieces back to life.
Can I Come Tour The Warehouses?
As much as we love the excitement our warehouse sparks, we’re not currently open for in-person tours. Our inventory is still being carefully organized, cataloged, and preserved, and for safety, security, and conservation reasons, only staff are allowed on-site at this time.
That said, we know we’re not your average vintage shop. We’re happy to offer FaceTime sessions for curious collectors, and we do schedule private appointments for wholesale buyers, prop masters, set designers, interior designers, and other professionals when it makes sense.
The best way to keep up with our vintage hunts, fresh finds, and behind-the-scenes moments is to follow Opa’s Vintage Gal on social media, it’s where the magic shows up in real time.
Thanks for understanding that our operation is as unique as the treasures we carry and that keeping it protected helps preserve the past for the future.
Do You Ever Have Pop‑Up Shops Where I Can See Items In Person?
YES! We're planning several pop‑ups over the next 12 months!
Our next in‑person event will be at the legendary Round Top Antique Fair in Round Top, TX this Fall. We’ll be set up at Drift & Holler from October 4–18, 2025, with our signature “man cave” full of new old stock treasures from the 1950s–1990s, all ready for you to see, touch, and shop the old-school way.
Why we chose Drift & Holler:
This spot brings the vibe.....it has a built-in bar, outdoor food trucks, easy parking, daily live music, and the perfect laid-back atmosphere for digging through decades of untouched vintage. It also offers FREE PARKING and FANCY POTTIES.
