The Vintage Place finds and proves provenance for treasures of all description and value, helping preserve them and their histories for future generations.

We are “specialist generalists” with over 50 years of experience, including finding and sometimes setting sales records for things as diverse as Captain Cook’s vest, Sir Donald Bradman’s Testimonial cricket bat, a D Type Jaguar car; Renoir’s Yellow Lady painting, a Van Gogh drawing and Pharlap’s strapper – Tommy Woodcock’s silver cup.

Our books number some 20,000 and include many from as little as a dollar to those amongst the rarest known including one of only two known pre-release copies Bram Stoker’s Dracula. We have available pages from the first folio of Shakespeare, a nearly complete bound set of Englands most famous satirical magazine, Punch. We have comprehensive holdings of books on sport, the Royal Family, radio and electronics, computing, children’s, novels old and new, engineering and science, medicine, health and well being, philosophy, motoring, aeronautics, sailing and power boating, rocks and minerals, jewellery, primitive, geography, mapping, geology, dictionaries and encyclopaedia, transport, art, antiques and sculpture, architecture, Australiana, Aboriginal, history and first editions, signed books, ex libris and leather-bound books, amongst others. Some of our books go back 400 years! You can spent a dollar or $10000 or more!
