**Company History Timeline**
1949 — Basement Beginnings: Bert Van Dyke initially launched the company to provide quality taxidermy supplies for both amateur and professional taxidermists.-

• The Pivot to Restoration: A significant change occurred when Mr. Van Dyke’s daughter attempted to restore an antique piece of furniture. Struggling to find accurate, period-appropriate parts, she realized there was a substantial market for vintage-style furniture and home restoration hardware. -
• 1984 — Name and Focus Change:
• The company officially separated from its original taxidermy division and rebranded to specialize exclusively in unusual, hard-to-find antique furniture and vintage home restoration supplies.-
• 1995 — Van Dyke\'s was purchased by Cabela\'s Inc., which invested heavily in modernizing the company\'s infrastructure. They built a state-of-the-art 150,000-square-foot facility and expanded operations.-
• Present Day: Now headquartered in Hodges, South Carolina, the company operates as a premier online and catalog supplier of period-correct architectural elements, lighting, plumbing, and rare hardware.
