State of the Union of the Coop, 2010


My Fellow Antiquers,

Ladies & Gentlemen Who Collect,

And everyone who believes "reuse / repurpose / recycle" should be everyone's task,

We are rich with history. We are filled with the remembrances of generations of craftsman and artisans. We house the treasures from times past, prior to mass manufacturing, when people took pride in their work and in their homes.

We believe in the power of memory. We cherish those things that make us remember moments and faces from years ago. We believe in Charles Chips and our grandmother's oatmeal raisin cookies. We choose to be unique. We believe in surrounding ourselves with items that make us smile.

We are 150 dealers, united in a 10,000 square foot building. We are a union of people who build our homes with thought and care. We are memory keepers. We are genuine.

We are Scranberry Coop. And we welcome you to see for yourself what all the fuss is about. This is the place. Whatever vintage, antique or special collectible item you're looking for, look here. Come to the Coop.

Why? Because we like you!!


He's made generations smile. He's for children of all ages. He's got a ton of memorabilia out there.
He remains one of the most appreciated, loved, and collectible characters of our time.

He's none other than Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney's charming little mascot. And he's here at Scranberry Coop.

Start a collection, grow your collection, or pick up just that one special item like a Mickey watch or a Mickey phone, that will brighten your day.

See ya real soon!

Hello Dolly!


Remember Barbie? Chrissy? Flatsie? Raggedy Ann? Remember those little dolls your grandparents brought you back from Tokyo? Mexico? Remember that baby doll your mother gave you that she used to play with when she was little? Remember that doll your aunt made for you? Or that cool craft store doll you passed up and never stopped thinking about?

Doll collecting is one of the world's favorite hobbies. Collections vary from the most specific time, period, and type, to the most broad and fun filled whimsy.

Whether you're looking for a very specific Composition doll, or just a fun piece to remind you of your childhood, come check out the dolls at Scranberry Coop. Maybe you're looking for a poor condition piece to use for "parts" for a pristine piece you have that needs repair. Maybe you're looking for watermelon mouthed doll with a Caracul.

Maybe you're just thinking a vintage doll would be an awesome Valentine's Day Gift, or Mother's Day Gift. And maybe you're just curious to check them out and get some ideas for doll clothes, hair styles, wigs and accessories. From serious beautiful antique dolls, to memory-packed vintage dolls, to fun and friendly modern dolls, you're going to be delighted by selection of dolls we have for you here. There's something for everyone.

Come say hello to our dollies. Come check out Scranberry Coop!
