Mantiques

I came back, and was not disappointed at all. This store has it all, from bottles, records, toys, to a 1800s copy of Harpers Weekly. The people who work there are incredibly nice to everyone and really make you feel like you belong there. They always have great prices on priced items, and state great prices on unpriced items. This is a treasure, as you do not find many antique stores like it anymore.

I’d give them 10 stars if I could. This place is simply fun and interesting and entertaining and if it’s in any way rare, or weird, or eclectic — and COOL — — well you can find it here! It’s not «retail operation» — — it’s a «Come on in and look at my cool stuff Operation». I can’t imagine anyone coming here and having a negative thing to say.

Accept debit/​credit cards. In a nutshell I would describe this place as a «man’s cave»
Figurines, posters, action dolls, antiques, toys galore, etc. If you’re in the area, I suggest you check this place out! The owner is super nice and friendly, he’s always willing to accept offers which is pretty awesome! =)

Mantiques. Lots of clever things happening here.
The name. Amazing. Loads of antique stores here in the charming town of Niles. Most of which have pretty frilly things, but this one is catered to the straight man that accompanies his partner to Niles and perhaps doesn’t know what he’s in for.
Well curated shop of manly décor and curiosities. The guy running it or the owner was super cool. Saw that I was very interested in a piece and named a beyond reasonable price for it.
I love it and it would be the first stop I make in Niles!

Cool place. Lots of toys and games and rather more manly adult themed stuff.
This was our last antique store of the day, and ironically, it was my girlfriend who found a print for herself. I didn’t buy anything (I mostly only collect Lego), but I’d go back for a peek if I was down that way again.

My husband and I travel to various collectible shops especially those toy related. We collect more horror related items. Someone on Unilocal who was displeased with Hot Toys suggested to come here instead.
The place has a little bit of everything. The owner Joseph was extremely personable. A owner that has a personality and cares about his shop and customers is hard to find. My husband explained what we were looking for and Joseph said he owes a toy shop down the street called Toy Trauma. He’s a very down to earth guy. Before we head out to Toy Trauma we bought a Halloween rubber skeleton. The stores takes cash only so Joseph said just take it and if we find something at Toy Trauma have them add $ 5. Who does that these days?!
We will definitely be back to say hello and see what new items Mantiques got in.

Love this store! I can always find awesome and unique things here. Staff is friendly and prices are always reasonable!

Great antique shop — most interesting of all antique shops on this strip. Nice to look at something other than dishes.

I first heard of Mantiques through Instagram. After looking through their pictures I quickly realized that they had awesome stuff ! A short while later I visited the store and met mike. Mike gave me a great deal on some toys and was super cool and helpful while doing so. The hospitality didn’t stop there though, all the other guys working there were just as cool and helpful ! It’s rare these days to find a place like this that’s in it for the love of collecting and not just selling stuff for profit. I’ve visited a few other places that sell vintage toys around the Bay Area and there was a few that were down right awful ! Just check out a review on Mantiques and you can tell how they made their customers feel ! So if you want to see awesome stuff you don’t run into very often and meet a great group of guys then I suggest you head over to Mantiques and pick up a piece of childhood nostalgia !

You have vintage Star Wars toy, Transformers and Go bots, Military paraphanalia, Old Vintage art, Weird Art, BONES, Toys from A to Z! Vintage musical instruments and vinyl records. Mantiques is a treasure trove of cool stuff. It is called Mantiques, but there are plenty of wemon who shop there as well. If you are into the weird and the wonderful, then this is the place for you.

I deal with Mantiques on a regular basis and I might as well call it my hang out. Mike, Nic Ceaser, and Joe are all stand up guys… they pick awesome stuff and you never know what you’ll find day to day.
Don’t bother with any other toy stores in Fremont, Mantiques is the place to visit! Yes, some of the stuff is random, curious, and downright weird. But that is it’s charm, even if you are window shopping!
Plus they pay cool music and sell awesome art you won’t find anywhere else!

Mantiques sounds like something Kramer would come up with on Seinfeld.
«It’s antiques… for men. Mantiques! We’ll make a million, Jerry!»
The shop is essentially what you get if you strip away all of the fine china and dolls of traditional antique shops and double down on comic books and action figures. They’ve got some cool stuff here (including a customized Midway arcade cabinet) — just make sure you’ve got the cashola.

MANTIQUES = the offspring of a mad scientist’s art studio mating with 3 generations of childhood memories. I love this place. If you are looking for a one of a kind gift, you will find it for an affordable price somewhere inside of this amazing collection of awesome.

Came here on a Saturday cause the bf and I were just really tired of spending our weekend at the mall or our usual few hangouts in Fremont. Didn’t really expect to find anything cool since most of the stores in Niles are Antiques and more on the home goods side. When we walked by this store, my boyfriend fell in love. They had some of the coolest toys and a lot of rarely seen items. The guys there are really nice and we ended up having a great chat with them. Skip to a week later, we actually saw one of the guys at a garage sale our friend had and it is nice to see that the shop owners are local and super nice. It is all about supporting the local businesses and keeping Niles alive. Must visit if you are in the area or if you are into unique and cool things!

Ever want a place like Oddities or American pickers but is affordable? Joseph and Mike are super nice and always are uncovering cool things! i go there weekly just in case i miss something new come in. if you like monsters, robots, taxidermy, and tools — its a whole flea market under one roof!

I came in here to look for birthday presents for my teenage son and my husband. The guys were very friendly and nice most of the stuff I could see in front of me it was very disorganized and piled up though. It had a lot of classic man type items not necessarily in the form of antiques. I found it very fun to be there I did pick up three daggers from for my son’s collection two of them were replicas. It is definitely somewhere you should check out if you have a man in your life

My main man Joe came through in the clutch ! I am a locksmith and he found a really cool old key machine for me. Great selection here !

I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw on facebook was a picture of a goat head posted by Mantiques. Being a girl who has been looking for a goat head for a very long time, I knew I had to get down there. Almost lost out on it to another interested shopper but, lucky me, the goat is now «living» in my dining room and I’m so happy I could burst!
I’ve been in a couple of times and I seriously love this place. The owner is super friendly and there is always something new, weird and interesting to check out. This is not your average antique store, which is great because it is swimming in a sea of average antique stores, being located on the main street of Niles. I have been in every shop there and was given funny looks and treated to smug attitudes. Not at Mantiques!
Sure, there aren’t price tags on anything but if you ask you’ll generally like what you hear. Extremely reasonable! I should know since I have visited hundreds of antique and collectibles shops over the years. They’re also open to wheeling and dealing if you buy a few things, plus you get to hear some interesting stories about where or how the item you’re interested in was acquired. We even got some help carrying our purchases to the car.
It’s the personal touches that make any business stand out and Mantiques has that. I’m officially hooked and will be back again… and again… and again :)

After a day of antiquing with my parents off of Niles, we drove by Mantiques… I knew for sure Jason J would love this place. We went there the next day and I was right, he loved it.
It is what it says, an Antique store for Men… sort of… I did find a yarn swift there… so, definitely not just for men. But they do have lots of cool and interesting things. Unfortunately, there is no price on anything… the price tags are all in the mind of the owner. You show him the item, you ask him, «how much?» and bam… there you go… price tag.
The owner, is real accommodating and friendly. You’ll sometimes see a group of men standing in front of the store talking or hanging out… it’s that type of place. Real cool folks in this store to help you out.
They even have vintage magazines, mostly for men… Maxim and I believe Playboy… I could be wrong.
Mantiques is definitely a place where you’ll need to dig for your treasure, but he does have some great stuff here. Never always the same and always changing… check it out.

When I heard Mantiques was opening, I (like most people) wondered if our fair hamlet could accommodate another antique store. I’m happy to report that it can! Joseph, the owner is an awesome guy. He’s super chill. As the name would suggest, it’s antique store for the guy in your life. But it’s more than just a spot offering respite from the estrogen riddled fluffiness and lace of Niles. (I’m not dissing lacy froth, by the way.) It’s also the sort of place that you could hang out, look over retro girly mags and talk to the owner. And that’s a niche Niles hadn’t filled yet!
Its location near the Florence is pretty fitting! An added bonus is that its near Switch designer consignment. Now the husbands and boyfriends have something to do with their waiting time! The score obtained from Mantiques on the last visit was super unique push-​tin lamp with a geometric shape. It’s a true compliment to the stylish man’s cave.
The shop is a little bit clutter-​y and it can take some browsing to ferret out your treasure. But, it’s in a good way. :o)
