An antique market in Karachi's Saddar sells nostalgia
A definite treasure trove. A walk down the memory lane. A refuge for memorabilia. In the heart of Saddar lies a market which sells nostalgia, that too in abundance.
I went there to buy a record pin for a gramophone but ended up buying 105 Long Play records, a typewriter, a Grundig LP Player and radio set and a 1940 Philco teak turntable.
There are two tiny lanes in China shopping mall, which contains ten or so shops selling all kinds of antique items. The mall is at a walking distance from Zainab Market but seen from the road, it hardly looks like an antique market.
