BSA is owned and operated by Jay Shearer. From Europe to the East Coast–all the way to the South, you can find Jay searching the globe to find fresh-to-market items. There are 3 auctions a year: January, May and August. There is online bidding through HiBid, LiveAuctioneers and AuctionZip.

The BSA story started with a 10 year old boy collecting bottles in Como, Texas. He spent his childhood at estate sales with his grandparents to find the very best antiques. As time went on he decided he would go out on his own, at age 16.

Jay opened his first booth in the downtown antique mall of Sulphur Springs, Texas at 16. Three years later he made the decision to buy out the antique shop where he had his booth.

Jay Shearer officially was the owner of Bright Star Antiques Co. In 2006, Jay took a look at the ever growing inventory in his warehouse and decided to start an auction house.

There is no other auction house in the United States that offers a broad-ranging mixture of antiques such as Bright Star Antiques Co.

Bright Star Antiques and Bright Star Discovery are about 5 miles apart.
