Vintage Ops“My husband and I have been collecting vintage artwork from around the world for more than 40 years. As we approached retirement, we began to uncover much of our collection, and were amazed at how large it had grown. It would have been a shame to keep it boxed up, so we created VintageOps as a way to share these forgotten treasures.
We started this journey with T-shirts and tote bags, but along the way we discovered another forgotten treasure, the flour sack dishtowel. After selling our products for several years at various Art Shows and businesses in the Reno/Fallon, NV area, we were hit with a swarm of positive feedback. Being a tourist town, the number one question was ‘where can I buy more?’ As my daughter finished up her Masters in Business (MBA), she helped at the art shows and saw this repeat question as an opportunity for an expansion.
VintageOps remains a small family owned business, and we continue to produce all of our merchandise in the Fallon, NV area. We are committed to providing quality products, and as we grow, we look forward to providing new jobs to an area hit so hard by the economic downturn.
As we have enjoyed finding and collecting these images over the years, we hope you will enjoy them as well.”
