Antiques
14 years ago Mike and Caroline
Emary took over a slowly dying antique
business and location in Courtland
Ontario. With hard work, a revamped
business work ethic and good dealers,
they revived the market in Courtland.
The building was aging though, and the
owners didn’t seem to want to spend
any money keeping it up, so they made
the decision to move. That’s a BIG
task, moving 30 dealers and all their
contents, large and small. However,
when their present Delhi location came
up for lease, Mike and Caroline knew it
was time to pull the trigger. That was in
the latter part of 2016 and they have not
looked back since.
This newer Delhi location is bright,
clean, and spacious and dry! It is right
off Hwy #3 running through Delhi,
heading east (on the south-east end of
town). There is easy access in and out
of the parking lot as you travel down
the road with your Daytripper at hand,
looking for cool shops in this area, and
there are many.
The Emary’s now have 40 dealers
in this antique co-op, with 40 booths
and showcases of diversified antiques
and collectibles. You can find “fine
old Canadiana” to “fine old
jewellery” and everything in
between.
There are local area
historical items for sale,
vintage hockey cards,
vintage TV and cartoon
collectibles. Also great wind
up tin and plastic toys, diecast
collectibles, vintage
signs and gas memorabilia,
advertising items. Just about
anything you can think of
collecting, you can find it here

&
under one roof! The dealers
are always restocking so you
can usually find something
“fresh and unique” in any
given week.
Mike and Caroline can

week, 10-5 with only a few
days off through the year
for Christmas and other
special holiday times. Plan
a daytrip to this area with
your Daytripper in hand and
make a point of stopping
at Courtland Treasures Antiques &
Emporium in Delhi—you won’t be
disappointed. Mike and Caroline are
usually there with friendly service and
antique advise. You never know, that
one piece that has eluded you could be
here waiting for your discovery!
