Greetings from Dr. Bob and Leah Belle Gardner of Lynchburg, Virginia! We have been buying and selling antiques and collectibles since 1970 when we consigned items from our parents' estates to a friend's new antiques shop. Ignorant of market prices, we under-priced our items and watched them fly off the shelves. Heady with that success, Dr. Bob would take his free time along with Leah Belle to hunt for old items suitable for resale. We were primarily attracted to advertising items, post cards, and juvenile series books as well as antique jewelry and funky collectibles.

In addition to appearing at antiques shows up and down the East Coast, we have been conducting an annual mail order sale of Juvenile Series books for over 30 years; this web site is our concession to a more modern world.

Dr. Nostalgia is staffed by Dr. Bob (Gardner) and his trusty Nurse, Leah Belle (Gardner). Nurse Leah Belle brings additional specialties to the "practice" such as jewelry, silver and needlework items. A tip of the hat to Candy Striper Shayne (Gardner) for mucho help with this web site.
