Discounted Starter Bundles – New Jersey Cat’s Meow Keepsakes

Over the last five years, we’ve been slowly growing the New Jersey Historic Wooden Village Collection. It began with our first collectible, the Brick Academy in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, which is honoring its 75th anniversary. Since then, the collection has taken off, expanding across the Garden State, including Newark, Wildwood, Cranford, Westfield, Asbury Park, Bedminster, Peapack, and more. If you’re interested in starting your own collection, we’ve created a number of bundle specials based on Towns and Special Categories. Take a look, then shop our exclusive online store to check on these bundle specials. Happy Collecting!
