Special order antiques? Sounds very dodgy to me. Must be spam.

reminds me of the old Punch cartoon. Antique dealer sticking his head into
the workshop at the back of the shop. "Mr Gregory, I'm having a twinge of
conscience, Would you mind changing your name to Chippendale?"

they've used in the spam. Based in Chicago, USA

Their non-throwaway email address is



so that's where they'd like their spam delivered grin

I've got a very nice figured ash desk from a company that, 20 years ago,
called itself 21st Century Antiques.

I did email them via the contact form at

http://www.oldplank.com/contacts

- which I expect sends email to ....

asking them 'why?' they thought we over here might be interested in
their spam

I'll let you know when I get a reply!

There's nothing to stop anybody else from filling in their contact form,
it wants a phone number in a 'valid format' - but kindly shows you what
the format is - so you can arrange for the form to be submitted....

Or you could just email them at



- that would work!

There's business in supplying antiques to restaurants (for example)
that specialize in some kinds of décor.

Now that's planning.
