Babcock Trading Company: A Treasure Trove of Vintage Gems in Pittsburgh's North Hills
Babcock Trading Company is a family-owned antique store located at 3501 Babcock Blvd in the charming North Hills neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Unlike traditional antique stores focused on furniture and fine china, this unique gem specializes in a diverse array of "fun stuff" - from early 20th-century furniture and wooden crates to architectural salvage and eye-catching advertising signs.
The store's 2,000-square-foot space is packed to the brim with an ever-changing inventory of vintage treasures. Visitors can easily peruse the nicely organized layout, browsing the shelves of old trunks, wooden boxes, and rare industrial pieces. The store's knowledgeable and friendly staff take pride in uncovering truly unique finds, such as a coveted Heinz Steelers Super Bowl ketchup bottle that delighted one lucky shopper.
Customers rave about the store's reasonable prices and its ability to transport them back in time. One shopper described the overall experience as "wonderful," praising the staff's expertise and the store's ability to uncover hidden gems. Others have called the store "lovely" and "amazing," highlighting the diverse selection of rustic farmhouse accents, vintage-style seasonal merchandise, and one-of-a-kind industrial relics.
Beyond the store's walls, the North Hills neighborhood offers a wealth of attractions for visitors to explore. The scenic hiking trails of North Park provide a peaceful respite, while the charming shops and eateries of nearby Wexford offer a delightful complement to the vintage shopping experience. Whether you're a seasoned antique hunter or simply in search of a unique vintage-inspired adventure, Babcock Trading Company is sure to delight and surprise.
The store is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 5pm, and on Sundays from 12pm to 4pm. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, Babcock Trading Company is wheelchair accessible and offers free WiFi, making it a convenient and comfortable shopping destination for all.

Me and my friends had a wonderful experience here. We were searching for lighters, and each got exactly what we hoped for. Next time I am on Pittsburgh I'll stop back here for sure.

Amazing group that runs this shop. They always have something new and unique for you to find. We found an old Heinz Steelers Super Bowl ketchup bottle. They had popcorn, cookies, and drinks ready for patrons and we're very pleasant hosts.
