About Us
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
It all started with a bottle of whiskey.
Founded by long-time friends John Cooper and Dan Kost, our journey began over two decades ago when our shared passion for collecting (and our wives already being friends) brought us together.
One February day, seated around a table with a bottle of whiskey and an idea, John and Dan embarked on a venture that would become The Treasures Unknown. Their friendship, forged over 20 years, was rooted in a mutual love for collecting, but more importantly, in a shared desire to help customers find their "missing" item.
John and Dan, both seasoned collectors with a combined experience spanning over 40 years, understand the thrill of the hunt. But more importantly, they know the feeling of finding that one elusive item—the piece that completes a collection, sparks a memory, or rekindles a forgotten joy.
Our mission at The Treasures Unknown is simple: to help you find your missing piece. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey into the world of vintage treasures, we're here to guide you. With a commitment to quality and fairness, every item in our curated collection is handpicked with care, treated like a treasure waiting to be uncovered.
What sets us apart is not only our passion for collecting but our dedication to you, our valued customer. We believe that the right piece can hold a special place in your heart, and we're here to make that discovery memorable and rewarding.
Join us in this adventure, where each item tells a story, and every collection is a testament to a shared love for the past. Explore our selection, and let us help you find your own hidden gem.
Thank you for being a part of The Treasures Unknown community. We look forward to helping you discover the treasures that await.
Warm regards,
John Cooper and Dan Kost
