Great Eastern Productions has been delighting both the public and professional antique dealers with high quality shows in Allentown, PA since 1970. During the first ten years we established our sterling reputation by producing a general antique show. Two ephemera dealers of high regard in their professional circle, Selma Peterson and David Hervey encouraged us to launch a Book, Paper and Advertising Show. We started with one show that first year, but it was met with such enthusiasm we quickly added an additional show. Now we are happy to bring three outstanding shows to Allentown every year.

Joyce Heilman, founder and general manager, loves promoting the shows and strives to make each show top quality.  Her goal is to ensure that every customer who walks into the building is treated with warmth and courtesy.  Customers return year after year, eager to repeat the enjoyable experience of shopping at one of Joyce’s shows.

Joyce is also highly respected by the participating dealers. Her competent, professional manner ensures a stress free, relaxed experience. During these 25+  years of producing, she has cemented warm relationships with this group of ephemera experts.

We place high value on the education of our customers and encourage the dealers to invest time in educating new and future purchasers. We hear many comments like, “I’ve learned so much just talking to these dealers! I’m more excited than ever to continue my hobby!”

Our antique professionals scour the country and even internationally for the most fascinating, treasured pieces to display at our shows.  Join us for the thrill of discovery at the next Great Eastern Show!
