“My main collection is advertising signs, but the best part about this shop is there is a little bit of anything and everything. There's toys, there’s furniture,” said Dorris.
Dorris showed 2 News a refrigerator monitor from the 1920s, Cuban cigars that are more than 100 years old and syrup dispensers from the 40s.
Dorris' vintage advertising signs lined the walls of his display as he walked through the years of collecting. One of the signs dates back to 1943.
“I think the first sign I ever got was a coke sign, and at the time, I didn’t have much money, so I just bought it and sold it, and I thought, 'Hey, this is pretty good. I can make a living doing this,'" Dorris said.
His full collection and more from vintage memorabilia from other vendors can be seen at the Tulsa Vintage Show, which opens Feb. 16 at 12 p.m. and runs through the weekend.
