NEACA Home Page

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.

We have a Lay-away program.

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.

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.

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, Plattsburgh, Saranac Lake 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 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.

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 ...

"Stories and Glory of Dave's World"

... 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 ...

"Current Iraq Report" with other links.

"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.
