| At local antiques show, everything old is new again :
Annapolis is a city steeped in history, but this weekend the scope expanded beyond the state capital to the world with a cornucopia of rare and artful antiques. Everything from medieval European manuscripts to 18th- and 19th-century French and English barometers are for sale at the annual Historic Annapolis Antiques Show.
"It's a great location," said dealer Philip Dubey of Baltimore. "Annapolis has got such history. It's a perfect place to (show) stuff off."
The three-day event, which also includes plenty of unique furniture and art, concludes late this afternoon at Medford National Guard Armory. One of the show's 32 dealers hails from England and two are from Annapolis. The rest are from other parts of the country.
"We like it here, it's very intimate," said Tom Dawson of Dawson Gallery in Annapolis, who has been a dealer at the show for about 17 of its 37 years.

His 6th Street Antiques and Toys store on Market Street is filled with oddities he collected, such as an old Texaco gas pump, street signs and an antique mining cart.
