This is my maternal grandfather, David Mendel Kuzneow (Kuznezow).  Mendel, as he was known, started this business in 1921 at his bicycle shop in New Britain, CT. 

This was my parents shop, the Ashley Falls Antique Shop in Ashley Falls, MA.  They moved here after my Dad was discharged from the Navy after WWII, and operated until around 1980.  My Mom's brother Sol was in the business with them until he died in a car accident in Arizona in the 50's.   

David Weiss


I have finally retired from 21 years in manufacturing.  It has been a long journey but it is time to do my own thing.  I am a Past President of the Berkshire County Antiques Dealers Association and a two time President of our golden retriever club.

Barbara Jasmine



Barbara has been in the bookkeeping/accounting field for many years and is now working in Sheffield, MA.  She is a past treasurer for our golden retriever club and her dock diving club.

Laser



Laser is twelve.  He holds AKC Junior Hunter and Canine Good Citizen, GRCA Working Certificate, and DockDog Big Air titles.  He's a happy and fun dog, always smiling, and loves to train, hunt, and jump off the dock.  Laser is also Judge's father.

Judge


Judge is seven and a genuine problem child.  There is nothing he won't eat or destroy.  He's a really good dock diver.  In summer of 2022, he earned his AKC Junior Hunter title in four straight tests!   Judge earned his Working Certificate in September of 2024.
He's really turning out to be a great dog.

We try to get up to Maine every year.  This is near Gouldsboro in July of 2023.
