Romaizie Mustapha, an indie entrepreneur, has seen some incredible vintage treasures sold at the pop-up collectors markets that he has been organising around the Klang Valley since 2016.

In a recent interview, Rom, as he is popularly known, lists down a huge British colonial-era train station clock from the Malayan Railways Limited days, vintage studio gear and film lighting from the days when Tan Sri P. Ramlee worked at the Shaw Brothers-owned Malay Film Production Studios in Jalan Ampas, Singapore, and a couple of rare Malay books and journals, as some prized discoveries that have sold for nearly RM10,000 each at his collectors market series.
