History

Established in 2011.

I am Phil Walter and live in the beautiful retirement area in Sun Lakes Arizona located just southeast of Phoenix. Growing up on the East coast and Midwest I was exposed to antiques and collectables through my parent’s hobby and part time business. I had a woodworking and re-​finishing shop in Michigan and began to learn and respect the value of properly restoring antiques. In Arizona, I became a general contractor doing re-​model work. While working as a contractor I learned to use various tools of the trade.

Two years ago, I decided to combine these two passions and opened Mantiques. Mantiques allows me to combine my love of tools, antiques, restoration work and being self-​employed.

We at Mantiques believe in the 3 R’s — Recycle, Repurpose and Restore. The tools and antiques that we acquire are part of our history. The tools I work on built this country and want to be restored and go back to work. Feedback from my customers tell me that they purchase most of them to use not display.
