About Us

We are the purveyors of memories.Through these reproductions of days long past, you will find the treasures memories are made of, to be passed on from generation to generation. We hope that you will find what you are seeking here.
We fill a void. We appeal to those moving away from the fake world of global brands. Choosing individuality, combining modern and classic themes. Our aim is to challenge the mind as well as the eye. Quality. Unique. Original. Eclectic.
Don't leave a page unturned. Behind it may be...AM, previously known as Authentic Models travels the world adding to their collection of exotic objects. In museums, antique shops and the great auction houses such as Christies and Sothebys they find their models for the reproductions you see here. They then search out the finest craftsmen and artisans needed to recreate these things of beauty. The end result is a reproduction of the highest quality, using the same techniques that was used to produce the original. Here you will find a collection of collectibles unparalleled anywhere in the world.
No one else does what AM does. For over 35 years AM has surprised and impressed their customers, and with great pride we showcase the "Cabinet of curiosities" of a Dutch Merchant prince.
Almost everything we sell is hand made, one piece at a time. No assembly lines, no mass production. Quality is not something rushed. Today we may have 10 of one item and tomorrow it may be sold out with a waiting period of a month or two. Skilled craftsmen are hard to find, some of our items may be made by one man or one small group. If something happens to that craftsman or his group that item may never be made again. When an item goes out of stock it may take from a week to 120 days to have it available for shipment. With this in mind, know that great pains are taken to keep the inventory on our hundreds of products up to date. If you order an item and it is out of stock you will receive a email notifying you of the estimated time of arrival. At any given time 90% of our products are in stock and available to ship. WE ship using UPS ground and USPS Priority mail. Most items will be shipped within a week. We know that sometimes you can't wait for an item. Feel free to call to check on stock availability or for overnight and 2nd day air. We can get things shipped quickly if we know our deadline.
Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy your shopping experience at Nostalgic Bay.
