ASC Surveying LLC Unearths Hidden Treasures: Bringing Antique Collectibles to Light

ASC Surveying LLC, based in Tualatin, Oregon, isn't your typical land surveying company. While we are experts in precise measurement and data analysis – and have been serving clients with top-notch surveying services for years – we've quietly developed a passion, and frankly, a knack, for sourcing and offering unique antique collectible items. You might be thinking, “Surveyors…and antiques?” It sounds odd, but hear us out. For decades, our field work has taken us everywhere. From dusty attics during property line disputes, to clearing out estate properties for development, to historical land assessments, we’ve stumbled upon incredible pieces of the past. It started with a few interesting finds we kept for ourselves, then sharing with colleagues, and quickly grew into a side hustle—and now a significant part of what we do! Beyond Land, Into Legacy While precise land measurement remains our core business (you can still reach us at 802-827-4097 for all your surveying needs!), we're now openly showcasing our curated collection of antique and collectible items. We’re not talking about mass-produced reproductions. We’re talking about genuine pieces of history – items that tell a story and hold a piece of the past. Think of us as historical detectives. Our surveying background actually helps. We’re meticulous. We research every item, verifying authenticity and provenance whenever possible. We're used to digging – literally and figuratively – to find answers, and that skill translates perfectly to finding and understanding the history of these collectibles. What Kind of Treasures Are We Talking About? Our collection is incredibly diverse, reflecting the wide range of properties we've worked on over the years. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt for us too, and we love sharing the finds! Here’s a glimpse of what you might discover: Vintage Photographs: From tintypes and daguerreotypes to early 20th-century snapshots, we have a growing collection of faces and moments frozen in time. These aren’t just pictures; they’re windows into the lives of people who lived long ago. We’ve got everything from formal studio portraits to candid shots of everyday life – and often, fascinating details about the people pictured. Antique Tools: We’re particularly drawn to antique tools – carpentry, farming, blacksmithing – the implements that built our world. These aren’t just rusty relics; they're testaments to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. We appreciate the solid construction and the sheer practicality of these tools. Plus, they look amazing displayed! Vintage Jewelry: From delicate Victorian brooches to bold Art Deco pendants, we often come across beautiful vintage jewelry. We don't specialize in high-end diamonds, but more in the unique and characterful pieces – the ones with a story to tell. We’ve even found some hidden within old estates! Ephemera (Paper Collectibles): Old letters, postcards, maps, advertisements, stock certificates – these paper treasures offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. We're building a fantastic collection of local Oregon history through these pieces. They're fragile, but incredibly valuable for understanding a bygone era. Small Antique Furniture: We occasionally unearth charming pieces of small antique furniture – bedside tables, vanity mirrors, decorative boxes. These aren't usually large investment pieces, but they add character and charm to any home. Vintage Kitchenalia: From enamelware to cast iron cookware to advertising tins, we have a growing collection of vintage kitchen items. These pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia and add a touch of rustic charm to any kitchen. Collectible Toys: We've been surprised by the number of vintage toys we've found! From tin toys to early plastic figures, these pieces bring back childhood memories. More Than Just Objects – It’s About Preservation We see ourselves as custodians of history. We believe these antique collectibles deserve to be appreciated and preserved, not locked away in boxes or forgotten in attics. We carefully clean and restore (where appropriate) each item, bringing it back to its former glory. Why Buy From ASC Surveying LLC? Authenticity: We do our research!
