Former Obscura Antiques and Oddities space now for rent

As we first reported last Wednesday, Obscura Antiques and Oddities has closed its store on East 10th Street... and will soon move to a nearby new home.

The store is now for rent...


Per the listing at Walker Malloy, the 350-square-foot space is going for $3,800. (Hey Bleecker Bob's — this fits in with your parameters.)

Here are a few photos of the Obscura stuff in storage via the store's Facebook page...



Given the popularity of the store (and their reality series), a lot of people are curious about the store's new home. Here's a Facebook message from them:

[W]hen we do reopen...its in a space about twice the size of our former store...and the place used to be a Funeral Home...so its win/win for all. We will post all of our info soon...such as where the new shop will be. Its actually very close to our former shop....maybe 3 or 4 blocks away....

Several readers figure the store will be at 207 Avenue A... which was the Sparacio & DeMarco Funeral Home until 1995... the space had been for rent... and there is now brown paper over the windows...
