Ocean Liner Collectibles
Welcome to PastTimes Collectibles!
PastTimes owes its name to the vast collection of Back Issue Magazines and Newspapers we stock and sell. These "past Times" papers and magazines, among many others, make the perfect gift to mark the anniversary of a special event. You will receive complete and original issues to keep and enjoy for years to come!
We specialize in Ocean Liner Memorabilia from the Golden Age of Travel. If you have a love for these Grand Ladies of the Seas, you will find something special available here: furnishings, china, glassware, machinery and more!
PastTimes Collectibles started with a unique store located aboard the fabulous Hotel Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. This beautiful Ocean Liner seemed the natural place to establish an antique store specializing in the history and artifacts of a by-gone era.
Ocean Liners were once the only way to travel between continents and the people who made such journeys did so for a variety of reasons: to start new lives in another country, to conduct business in foreign markets, or to experience the diverse cultures of the world. Whatever the reason, these floating cities offered their passengers a myriad of activities and services throughout the journey. From the simple and often severe accommodations in lower classes to the lavish and elegant surrounds of the upper classes, the notion of "you get what you pay for" was never more clearly evident than onboard these amazing ships.
Remnants of these past wonders are still with us today, and through our store and this site, you will be able have a piece of that past for yourselves. If there is something you would like to find, please contact us and we will be delighted to help you find it!
