The New Junk Shop – meet Erwin Esterhuizen

The New Junk Shop in Stanford is where we are heading today, to speak to Erwin Esterhuizen on the Sanlam Arts Round Up.  With the school holidays ahead, here’s another good reason to head off to the Overberg 

Listen to the Sanlam Arts Round Up on Fine Music Radio FMR 101.3fm every Friday at 16h10

The New Junk Shop’s Erwin Esterhuizen is a legend in the used goods and collectables trade.

A deep passion for all things interesting, rare and collectable has ensured that Erwin has spent most of his life dealing in other people’s things. He is proud to say that he can recite from heart, the history behind every single one of his precious items in his store. His first shop was in Diep River in the Southern Suburbs and was aptly named ‘Yesterday’s Bygones and Junk Store’. What followed was years of buying, selling and trading in other peoples pre-loved or unwanted collectables. He gained notoriety with ‘Jintys Junk Shop’ in Long Street, Cape Town. Erwin continues to deliver the same eclectic trove of treasures to entry-level treasure hunters, serious collectors and fellow antique dealers who find themselves in The New Junk Shop.

If vintage toys, early car registration plates, old gramophone players, silver pocket watches, wingback chairs and the thought of interesting art pieces tickle your fancy, then you are in for a treat. Every collectable imaginable and more can be found under one roof, and there are precious trinkets as well as interesting bits and bobs that form the blueprint of many generations gone by. Dinky cars, postcards from the 1950s, Toby jugs, Murano glass, cloisonné, brass fittings, medals of honour, classic furniture pieces and astonishing scarcities such as an authentic gentleman’s carriage, all share equal pride of place. The New Junk Shop is also the place where you can sell all your old gems.
