Now I haven’t managed to go to all the above shops, but I have been to a few of them and they are great retro shopping! I hope this list helps you to make some choices about the places that you might like to shop. 

 
I love the many choices and variety of rare items that you can find in these shops and I am always curious about the history of the item and try to research information on the items.
