Best Block for Brownstone Renovation
We need help fast. We are bringing our truck with samples of our salvage on Saturday and we don't know which block to target. If you know of any blocks with several houses undergoing renovation, let us know and we will stop by on Saturday from 10am till 2 pm to discuss salvage, hand out our info and let you take a peek at what we carry. Thanks. Fred from Silver Fox

We will be there at 10am and stay for about two hours then probably our next stop will be Midwood between Bedford and Flatbush. Check out our website's front page (link in on Brooklyn Flea) for details as we figure this out. Thanks for the help Fred from Silver Fox

Thanks for coming to Midwood Street Fred. I leave on the next (Bedford--Rogers) block and will make sure to see what you have to offer. FWIW my wife and I love the large painted mirror we bought from you at the "salvage fest"precursor to the current flea market.

FWIW I just posted an item about your visit to Midwood Street on our local PLG Yahoo list--hope it helps.

Any chance of your coming down Macdonough to Stuyvesant Avenue? I'm renovating on Bainbridge between Stuyvesant and Malcolm X, and many of my neighbors are as well.

Thanks for all the help. I think two stops on Satuday I listed above is about the limit. We will return in October and then try two other locations. If you look at our website (just check the link on Brooklyn FLea for Silver Fox) you can contact us by phone or email and request us to bring something down that may be listed on the site. Much of what we have may not be listed. We just hired someone part time to upload pictures. On Saturday, come down and meet us, say hello, bring your questions. Thanks. Fred & Camille from Silver Fox

Fred, Checked out your site. Do you have any antique sofas..either victorian or federal. If you have a parlor set, will consider that also. I probably should email you through your site.

Bayridgegirl, you could also try nearby dealers who sell on eBay, for your Victorian and Federal sofas. I got my two sofas from a couple different dealers on eBay. Better prices than you find in NYC antique stores. One seller was in Philly and one was in NJ. Both were professional antique dealers. On the advanced search you can enter in your zip code and set the mileage limit for how far away the seller is located.
