To all our valued clients and friends,
Five Katz Antiques is now closed.
The building that Five Katz Antiques has resided in for the last seven years was sold in April 2022 to an out of town investor. The new owners have increased our rent 42% and are requiring a new 3 year lease to be signed. We have looked at the situation, and we are sad to say that we cannot meet these terms.
We have worked hard these past seven years to build the business, but the sales figures will not support these increases and we have decided it’s time to close the business. We will be working to clear out items including display items vigorously as we must vacate the building by June 30, 2022.
We thank you all for your past patronage and support. It is a sad & difficult decision to make, but the overall support of the community is just not strong enough to support us. We are pleased that we made it seven years, as many small business fail long before reaching such a milestone.
We are not sure what the future will bring. I will have some items left over, and perhaps I will offer them for sale online through this website. Please refer to our blog for any announcements. A few of the outlets I write columns for have asked me to continue to do so, and any new columns will be posted to this site on the blog.
Owning the business was fun and very challenging at times, but overall mostly a positive one. I am looking forward to my free time now. If you have need to contact me, you may do so via this site or email.
I wish all our friends and clients a safe and healthy life.
Thank you,
Ed Kindle

Photo Restoration by Five Katz Antiques
Old photos fade away every day. This is due to the chemical process used in the creation of the image. Every photograph ever made will someday fade away into nothing. Soon all that will be left is the memory of the image.
If you have an old photograph that you would like to have restored, I would be happy to look at your image and give you a restoration quote.
Restorations start at $25 dollars & are based on computer hours. Some take more time, so some may cost more.
Your price includes the scanning of your image as well as the restoration. You will receive one print and a CD with a digital file that you may take to your favorite location for reprints. You will receive your original image back with no damage. I can also scan photos and place them on digital media with no restoration.
I have over 30 years experience in all areas of photography, so you can trust I will care for your original image.
Restored photographs make great holiday gifts. Act now before your memories fade away.
