History by George in Mesa AZ Reviews
“George is a wealth of knowledge! His shop is full of unique, beautiful and high end pieces. We went looking for rare trench art items, he came through with more than we could have hoped to find! We loved this place!!!” – Lisa T.
“I went in to get a value for some French stamps on the recommendation of a friend. I had spent hours online trying to gauge their worth. George knew at a glance the years they were released and in what series, etc. He then verified the info in a huge catalog of different countries and stamps. He definitely knows stamps so I recommend him if you have questions on stamp values, but what I also liked is he had a piece of history to go with every item I brought in. He truly lives up to his business name – History by George. Also if you are looking for a unique gift then this is the place to go. There were so many beautiful womens vanity items that caught my eye – truly unique and feminine. You are sure to find something different and unique for men and women of all ages. And the History by George makes the experience memorable.” – Kelly J.
