Martin's Experienced Items Etc.. - Enter your slogan here
Welcome to my Store!
Located on Main Street in Etna, CA, Martin's Experienced Items, etcetera has been in operation for about 12 years.
A unique establishment that if it were a grocery store in the old days, we'd describe it as having everything from basic soup to gourmet nuts! This is a sometimes eclectic collection of previously owned merchandise from Antiques to possibly a Zebra Skin! Davie Martin buys Estates, Store Closeouts, Storage units, drop offs and the occasional Yard Sale to keep the place well stocked. Picture grandma's house x 10, that would be accurate. Displays change on a daily basis so that even locals visit weekly because they are afraid they will miss something and many times they do and are upset.
Inventory moves very quickly due to great prices and also keeps the collector coming back. This store is on the route of many folks' vacations now and on the favorite list of many families that come to visit.
We supply the pots and pans for the camper that forgot something and the 'oh my god, my grandmother had one of these' and the memories are stirred for awhile. Occasionally we all end up in tears of laughter!
Drop in for a visit sometime! (We'll be adding more content soon so please come visit the website again!)
Thanks for visiting!

Silver Set >100 yrs old
Meriden B Company, was a manufacturer that made silver ware out of "black silver" the kind of silver that was economical doing the time, it still had the flare of expensive silver settings and today the silver along is of high value, since refined silver was getting high in value and the price of refined silver was costly at the time, Meriden B Company started offering silver that was not "refined" before it was marked, it was before "nickle silver" so the silver is still 100 percent! The product it self will appear black before you polish it, which should be left in that state if you want to sell it. All Meriden B Company is over 100 years old and have a historical value, family's that can trace back 100 year will know about the Meriden B Company product.
Strange Inhabitants!
You never know what you'll find.
What customers think...
I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks very much for your hospitality during our visit to Scott Valley. We were on a Poker Run and decided to stop in while some others went to quench their thirst at the bar across the street. I couldn't believe that I actually found some car parts in what you called your "Guy's Section". That area is loaded with all kinds of cool stuff! Again, Thanks for being so friendly and helpful and keep up the good work!
