I rode it for three days, and each day it followed a different route. Twice it took over a hour to reach the hall between standing on the curb and sitting on the bus. More monitoring and discipline are in order here. Edwin Ahlberg was one of many dealers who commented on the many repeat customers who shop the show. I love to come and see old friends as well as the show.
Some customers purchase by mail throughout the year, while others buy each year during the show.
Several dealers sold items at this year's show that had been seen at last year's show. Bill Vose sold a major painting at this show that a collector had seen in his booth two years ago. The Ellis show has a Boston venue, but it is a significant event in the national antiques market.
