The first glance may be very deceiving to the casual visitor. Look closely, as this is an extensive and varied site of quite unusual collectables and gifts; of old toys, dolls and trains, of knowledge, learning and even entertainment. A site that you will surely visit
again & again.
From Americana and Antiques thru Coins and Collectables to Guns, Knives, Swords and Zebra Rugs
...... We HAVE IT, We've SOLD IT, or
.... We CAN GET IT!
See our
"What's New" page.
Always Special Sales at Hudson River Trading Co., Mechanicville,
NY ~
Our main business is in our stock of
1000 or so Collector, Antique and Investment Firearms but we also are
Federally and NY State licensed and have all
the new guns available for orders. Sporting collectables, Adirondack antiques, fine glassware
and china, vintage toys, trains or gifts round out our standard fare. Militaria and hundreds of edged weapons
are also IN INVENTORY at our Mechanicville, New York brick and mortar store. Remember though, our prices can change without notice, up or down.

NEACA, Inc. is our sister company that organizes and promotes trade shows. Since 1982 we have staged Antique & Collectable Shows, Computer Fairs,
Craft Shows and Toy Shows but our main events are our Gun Shows or Arms Fairs under our
New Eastcoast Arms Collectors Associates banner. We have a membership of authors, students of history, militaria and firearms collectors and dealers that now numbers around 1200.
One
of our interesting past Gun Shows was at the Monticello Race Track in Monticello, New York on May 19, 20, 21,
2006 but
we are most proud of our Arms Fairs in
the Saratoga Springs City Center in
upstate New York and in our newly
revised Utica, NY shows.
Friday dates are always just for exhibitors or our NEACA Members,
you can
join today if you wish to come in early at our
shows.

Last Saratoga Springs, New York Show was

Convention Center, Rt. 9, Lake George,
New York, Sunday, February 8, 2009.
Should Have Been At :
Utica, New York
at the Utica Auditorium
April 4, 5, 2009
We
were back for first weekend on
April
4, 5, 2009.
See our
Gun Shows
page. A fine show, looking ahead to 2010
around the same time but a week later
because of Easter, our
new date is April
10 & 11, 2010.
We were SOLD OUT
of tables to sell as of 3/11 for our Saratoga Arms Fair
on March *20, 21, 22, 2009
because of dealer deposits from our
prior shows and new exhibitors coming. Special Turkey Dinner for members and exhibitors for the
October Show on Friday Evening (Free, naturally) was delicious and different. Don't expect that all the time, boys!
Goulash for last March went well, though it
was meatballs & ziti for August. We had
some special things for our 25th
Anniversary Show in September for the
exhibitors in attendance, the folks who
really make the Arms Fair work and I'm
sure the dealers who won the prizes from
a $300.00 Pachislo Machine to $100.00 in
cash or $20.00 in gas cash to free
tables went home happy with money from a
buying public. One of my best personal
sales shows... and this last January
2009 show was wall to wall people on
Saturday morning ... you should have
been there! Call us for advance
table reservations for our next
January 29, 30 &
31, 2010 Arms Fair.
We have promoted shows in Newburg, Kingston, Peekskill, Catskill, Utica,
Herkimer, Little Falls, Plattsburgh, Saranac Lake,
Syracuse and Fishkill, NY, and at the Sons of Italy Lodge, in Deer Park, Long Island on various Sundays and at the Holiday Inn at Lake George in February during the popular Winter Carnival. Plus many other areas in
NY and the Northeast. We also have other things planned so go to "Gun Shows"
for all of our upcoming events. Part of our business is finding items for you at these shows. Send us an E-mail of what you may be looking for and we will see what we can do. Also see our monthly Gun Show Report.
Our last small Arms Fair was at the
Sunday, June 7, 2009 ~ 9am to
4pm
In the past we have published the "Arms Collectors Journal" and began printing our NEW Journal on the 15th of March, 2005. This time, we also offer it on-line. Eventually, when we really get it organized, we will allow advertising on our pages to our membership and others, but for now we simply wish to have it grow. Also see a new page of interest we created called "Dave's World and Yours." And another new page called ...
... where you will find links to stories and political pages and other things...
.....another popular new page is "ITEMS WANTED" and we just created by popular demand a "Consignment Page" for special items.
For just plain folks in general you will surely want to see our updated page "Items of INTEREST". Simply click on icon to the left for some truly amazing nature photos.
"America's New War" is where we also have some interesting items, not a page for the faint of heart. Plus some "Games" of skill. We have created a page for a front line report from Baghdad with insights ...
"Gifts" is a page of unique things that will interest a diverse public. We are now working on a new page of Avon Collector Jewelry and also have
"Jewelry & Small Things," you may want to watch this. Another new page is our "Garage Sale", never know what turns up.

The only way we know what brought you to our site and what you may want to see here is by sending us an e-mail. The month of
January 1 thru 30 gave us 7,536,023 hits, so we must be doing something right. The
first quarter of 2009 we averaged over
7 Million hits per month. Page views and visits are the real key to success for a website and ours have been very strong, over
195,000 views in January! Our next milestone
is to exceed
200,000 monthly views to our site, and
as for visits in the month of
March we had 126,061. We constantly look to improve and update but this is still just a "me and Cathy"
operation so all good things take time. Bear with us and stop by often. Be among the 172,000 people who visited our site in
July. Over 5,240 daily visits are registered to our site with an average of
3,532 DAILY PAGE VIEWS.
That is equivalent to having over
Seven million people drive by our shop in Mechanicville and having over 195,000 stop by and look in our window each month. Then to have over
3500 of them walk thru the shop and look around each and every day! Not a bad record. See our "Consignment Page" if you feel you want to trust us to handle your heirlooms.
We have started a Silent Auction Page where items are up for bid on-line and at our store. We will have a two week viewing period and closings at 6pm EST on Wednesdays. See our current auction and register to bid on Silent Auction.
WE TRY TO UPDATE OUR PAGES EVERY TUESDAY BEFORE NOON. NEW MERCHANDISE IS ADDED DAILY OR AS WE CAN. BE SURE TO CHECK!
Remember to add us to your Favorites.
