We are Jack and Susan Davis, owners of Olde America Antiques in Bozeman, Montana. Our two helpers and companions are Punkin and Sweet Pea. Punkin is a rare apricot-colored male pug and Sweet Pea is a beautiful silver and fawn-colored female pug. Punkin and Sweet Pea are brother and sister. They go to work with us every day and keep us entertained. We live in the foothills outside of Bozeman and have many different animals visit our neighborhood. Sweet Pea, who weighs 22 pounds, chased a 1,200 pound moose out of our yard this fall. Punkin, who weighs 34 pounds, turned and ran as fast as he could back to the house when he saw the moose. We will be safe and sound as long as Sweet Pea is there to protect us.

Susan and I have been antique dealers for 25 years and specialize in antique postcards, paper and ephemera. Susan began collecting Yellowstone Park antiques when she was in high school in the late 1960s. Her collection grew over the years to become the largest private Yellowstone Park collection with more than 20,000 pieces. In 2001 Susan's Yellowstone Park collection went to the park's archives through our donations and the support of the Yellowstone Park Foundation. We continue to work with the park as consultants to enhance and improve their collections.

We are members of the International Federation of Postcard Dealers and have participated in numerous postcard, paper, and antique shows throughout the country. Our collection of vintage images is comprised of more than 25,000 antique postcards, photographs, trade cards, posters, prints, calendars, seed packets, catalogs, magazines, brochures, covers, advertising, and miscellaneous ephemera. We are continually adding new images and categories to our web site each month for you to choose from.

Olde America Antiques produces genuine 8-color giclee prints on cloth and fine art paper. A giclee (zhee-CLAY) print is an individually produced, high-resolution print produced on a large-format printer. The colors are bright, have a long life span, and are virtually continuous in tone of color. We utilize new, state-of-the-art giclee printers and are pioneers in the development of giclee printing on cloth.

Olde America Antiques is one of the first companies to utilize large-format giclee technology in printing on cloth. The technology we use to produce 8-color giclee prints on cloth was not developed until the spring of 2006. The colors we are able to produce on cloth are bright and vibrant and the image reproduction is excellent. We use the latest computer and software technology to create the finest quality cloth prints possible. The quilt blocks we produce are among the very best on the market today. We use 100% cotton sateen cloth with 270-thread count. Our cotton sateen fabric is soft and easy to quilt through.

Our quilt blocks are READY-TO-SEW. They are NOT TRANSFERS. The quilt blocks we produce are on a new generation of cotton fabric. The old transfer process resulted in hard and brittle quilt blocks that were virtually impossible to quilt through. The old transfers were labor intensive and difficult to work with. Our quilt blocks are easy to work with, and the overall quality and color reproduction is vastly superior to the older transfers.

The images we offer for sale date from the 1870s through the 1950s. One of the categories we offer is historical Quilting and Sewing trade cards from the 1880s-1910s. We have a wide range of antique images and categories to choose from, including Santa, Angels, Children, Cowgirls and Cowboys, Cats, Animals, Holidays, Fairies, Sports, Travel and Railroad Posters, Flowers, Vegetables, National Parks and many others. We will be adding new images and categories to our inventory each month. If you have special requests for particular subjects or geographical views please let us know. We would like to work with you to provide you with the antique images you are interested in.

We are serious antique collectors and strive to produce the highest quality and most collectible prints possible. We love the old vintage images and enjoy sharing our personal collection with others.

We look forward to working with you and serving you any way we can. Please let us know if you have any questions or special requests.

Thank you,
Jack and Susan Davis
