he wholesale and retail of these artifacts is only a small part of what our company actually does. Another major focus
“The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which, he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both.”
- Buddha
Whether you consider this the rallying cry to the way we work or simply see it as the mirror for the way we live our lives is up to you, because for us it simply means this is the way things should be so we're doing it like that. In an age where so much of what becomes of us stiffly follows to the phrase "the idea of what you are is more important than actually being that", we chose to create and lean into something that is "Esse quam videri" (Latin for: "to be, rather than to seem [to be]"). It's not just about the hustle you find in pawnshops or the Amerikan Dream about Pickers. It's about realizing through hard work and a pair of hands the dream nestled in the bejeweled pearl of the Mind's Eye, carried on the breath of kiss from the lotus. And it is this very poetic spiritual endeavor by which we face our branding with. It is through this very poetic spiritual endeavor that we shape the realization of our dreams, which is the product from the sacrifices of what our ancestors could not. Unaffordable for them in their time not because of their ability, but only because of their place. Battles fought so we would not have to fight them; wars waged so we would not have to wage them. Heroes fallen so we would not have to die like them; tyrants thwarted so we would not have to serve them. This is remembering their Fates and safeguarding our Future. By the promise of these things, through the spreading of an awareness we hope to restore the earth-shattering Truth that emerges from our ancestors with their sacrifice and their fallen Heroes from yesterday maybe someday: there was then the realization of that phrase the 'war to end all wars'. O-TOWN*MERCH represents a small, independent antique shop and bookstore, which hails from the great American Midwest. We have space out at the Brass Armadillo - Omaha, regularly rented tables at the most prominent gun shows and militaria conventions, an online shopping source via the store on the MERCH website, and a regularly scheduled auction space through the MERCH storefront on Ebay. We hope to get a physical shop space of our own pretty soon as well. The MERCH specializes in rare historical artifacts and valuable military collectables. Historical non-fiction books and collector's reference literature. We don't do nick-knacks and clutter. We don't do fakes and frauds. We simply supply you with and inform you about high-quality antiques and military collectables. Offered at reasonable prices and in stylish ways. And as always, the MERCH guarantees their items to be 100% authentic and absolutely original. THIS IS WHAT WE DO >>
