I’ve been wondering for weeks now who this person areliczone is who’s been posting all this great stuff on Collectors Weekly Show and Tell. I think they’re in San Francisco, right in our back yard. Alot of it seems to be from the estate of Peter Tedesco, who areliczone says had a variety store in the 1940s and 50s, but I haven’t been able to find out anything about that either. This Fishermans Wharf matchbook cover is my favorite areliczone item, hands down! What do you think?

I am Areliczone. My shop is in the Santa Cruz mtns. I have been here since 1963. I started restoring antiques in 1964. In 1969 I went into the business of making “Dulcimers”. That business lasted for 20 years. I made a lot of dulcimers. I am now back in the antique restoration business, and am making ukulele’s for fun. I got a lot “O” stuff.
