Rum Runners Antiques

Rum Runner’s Antiques founded in 2011 by Dan Simic, emerged from a lifelong passion for antiques and historic pieces.

To meet this demand, Dan partnered with his son-in-law, Scott Myers, who brought 13-plus years of sales experience and a keen curiosity for antiques. In 2022, both Dan and Scott obtained auctioneer’s licenses and an Auction House license, solidifying their commitment to this family business—a community pillar that bridges generations of passionate history enthusiast
