Does anyone know any good dealers in the Midwestern US, or any upcoming shows also in this area? Any info would be great. I live in a desolate, desolate area...

I'm in Michigan, so Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, etc. and also anywhere in Canada near East Michigan. I'm mainly looking for local dealers, but I am also interested in online ones too. I've seen all of the online dealers with ads on this forum, so any other ones you know would be great. I'm looking for any dealer that deals in anything bigger/more expensive than buttons, small insignias, etc.
Also, I see you are in Chicago. My Grandpa (who lives in Glenview) says he went to a pretty large antique store in Chicago recently, and they had World War II collectibles. Unfortunately, he can't remember where it was or what it was called (he thinks it was on Ogden street). Perhaps you know it? I'm heading to Chicago this week... Thanks

Ever been to the Wisconsin Dells? It's about 2 hours north of Chicago. There is one World War II dealer who puts a huge amount of stuff in every antique store throughout the town. He's got original SA hats, Waffen-SS M43s, and the last time I went, he had an original concentration camp uniform. It's definitely worth the drive. I'll checkout the one you told me though. Thanks a lot
