Places that sell antique stuff?
Are there local businesses that sell recovered/recycled/antique stuff salvaged from old buildings? i am trying to look for a stained glass window (too much rot in the frame to save) and a vintage mailbox slot (someone stole it because it was solid brass) that would look appropriate on a house from the 50's, which of course the big box stores don't carry.

On still creek. Be prepared to be raped on the stained glass...$300 plus I keep wanting to find one for myself, but am not spending $500 for something to hang on a wall.

Should also mention there is a place on front street in new west that has even nicer stuff, and their pricing makes Jack's look great, BUT their stuff is authentic old, with a lot in the 100+ range.
I happen to want one of their old doors for a desk, but am not willing to pay what they want for one...so what I really need is to do demo on an old house and rape it for the parts I want.
