“Vintage glass is a drug you can’t quit.”

Mike’s fascination for vintage treasures started at a young age with his grandmother, Mama Ruby (@midmodmike). Every time the family visited her and Papa Jim in Georgia, they would frequent thrift stores and flea markets. Their home was a treasure trove of beautiful furniture and whatnots. Mama Ruby instilled in Mike a love for glassware, ashtrays, unique trinkets, and wicker furniture! Who knew a couple of decades later he would be a full-time vintage dealer! He started Mid Mod Mike in July of 2020 in Little Rock, Arkansas out of pure happenstance and entrepreneurial drive! Currently, Mike lives in and operate his online shop in both Little Rock, Arkansas and Denver, Colorado! He travels the roads between the two as well as other states to find the goods!

Mike was featured in Little Rock Soirée Magazine in 2021. Read the feature here. In 2022, he was named as one of the 10 Best Antique & Vintage Stores in Little Rock. And in 2023 Mid Mod Mike was listed again as one of the 10 Best Antique & Vintage Stores in Little Rock by Little Rock Soirée Magazine!
