A Look Inside the July 2025 Issue of Kovels Antique Trader

Look Inside the July Issue of Kovels Antique Trader

This month, we're chasing treasures and wagging tails. We are featuring American Pickers' favorite Robbie Wolfe, who sat down with Editor Kele Johnson to talk Rustbelt Americana, family roots, and raising funds for a cause that is close to his heart.

We’re casting a wide net and diving deep into the fascinating world of antique fishing lures, where craftsmanship, color, and clever design lure in more than just the catch of the day. For collectors, these little beauties hook big memories and even bigger value. We also savor the timeless elegance of oyster plates, those decorative dining delights that once graced the tables of Victorian parlors and fine seafood houses. Kris Manty serves up some history, styles, and what to look for when collecting. And if it’s sparkle you’re after, don’t miss our feature on Robért jewelry. Pam Siegel unpacks the story behind the costume jewelry brand known for its bold, sculptural style.

“Dog Days of Summer” From the Editor reflects on second chances and the pets that rescue us right back. Wayne Jordan takes us antiquing in charming Cashiers, NC, while Amy Moyer traces the story behind the iconic Boston Paul Revere statue. Plus, Collector’s Gallery, Sales Reports, and more!

Your summer reading just got a whole lot cooler.
