RetroRoadshow started their Etsy shop in April 2014. Joshua Snyder is curator of this upscale jewelry and vintage boutique from Ravenna, Ohio that features a lot of Czech, Danish and deco styled pieces you just don't see very often. I had the chance to find out more!
You never know what you will find at Etsy shop RetroRoadshow!
Q: Why and when did you start selling vintage?
We started out of necessity. While
in school we would go to estate sales and garage sales for the added income.
After falling in love with anything Czech, we decided to take a trip to Prague
in search of rare and unusual costume jewelry. We found several items and have
maintained the hobby ever since.
White Gold Cufflinks, hard to find these days, find them here.

Q. What your favorite vintage items are or what you collect?
We will sell anything, although I have an
affinity for cuff links. Anything vintage and rare is what we love to find, and
treasure.
Q: Anything currently in your shop with a great story?

The Chinese silver and enamel
bracelet is from the early 1800s and it is amazing and authentic antique
history.
This mystery piece is a Chinese dragon Boat, but is it for your hair or tie?
Q: What item will you hate to see go and why?
I love the Danish enamel necklaces.
I find them exquisite.
You will find all sorts of vintage necklaces from 1910-1970 , this one Czech Bohemian Filigree
