New Booth

We just added a new booth at the antique mall so today we thought we would just let you have a look around at everything.  Happy browsing!

Medical Quackery Kit

Guaranteed to cure your every ill!  From the early 1900's, these kits were used to treat a multitude of conditions.  Baldness, headaches, arthritis, general unwell symptoms, and the list goes on.

The black box in the center is the power supply that would be plugged into an outlet.  Then the big black wand was plugged into the box.

Then a person would select the glass wand for whatever condition they wanted to treat and attach it to the black wand.

Then the unit would be turned on and electricity would flow into the glass wand.

The person would then place the glass wand on whatever part of the body they were attempting to treat and zap the illness away!

The quackery name comes from the fact that, as wonderful as all this sounds, it really didn't work.

This kit is a great novelty collectible, and is available in our booth for $295.

Human Neck Yoke

Welcome to Haven Cottage Antiques.  We are Robert and Sheila, and together we own an antique business.  Currently our business is located in the Factory Antique Mall in Verona, VA, which is now the largest antique mall in the United States.  If you plan on visiting us, bring your walking shoes!

We have been wanting to share some of our favorite pieces from our store with everyone for quite a while and decided to start with this unique find.

We found this yoke at a four generation estate sale.  The condition of this one is excellent.  All the ones we currently found for sale online were broken on at least one end or in the center.  This yoke has both ends and center in original condition.  All it needed was a little cleaning and it is now ready to be displayed in someones home.

We have this yoke priced at $129.
