Overlooked Antiques & Military Surplus

An old fashion military surplus store that is both brick and mortar and web based. We specialize in WWI through Vietnam military collectables. In business since 2008 and are the hosts of Leavenworth’s Overlooked Military Collectors show since 2014.

I have been collecting and selling military collectibles for over 30 years. I entered the hobby at the age of twelve with a profound interest in history and the inheritance of my Grandfather's WWII souvenirs. By age nineteen, I was earning extra money for college selling from a rented antique store booth and listing in online auctions. After college, I was employed with an auction house as a catalog describer and appraiser of military antiques and collectibles. Since 2008, my wife Julie and I have owned and operate one of largest genuine military surplus stores still open to the public and have maintained this website since 2013.
