The booth with the 2electric frypans with copper lids....

is owned by Lori and Dennis Trishman....I know them from the D.C. Big Flea...there prices might be a little higher than some but they really take time to clean up there merchandise before they put it out for sale. I bought a real nice Iona Blender from them at the last Big Flea for $45 and it is in immaculate condition. I highly reccomend doing business with them if you see something in their booth you like.

I love antique/flea malls but like you say the prices are always primo. Still in all they're not there as a charity and the stuff is usually cleaned up. Plus you're unlikely to see the very rare but always seen everywhere ubiquitous red West Bend electric wok. LOL.
I think all flea markets etc should have a sign out front
No red West Bend electric Woks allowed"

Oh, Ron, we didn't buy it, but I tried to get a picture of it for you. Unfortunately, I had to be discrete and turn the flash off.....

Well, we saw the Amish non-electric version of it when we were shopping down in Strasburg today...

Just wondering about the toy Hoover

Hi Terry,

It was $395 (asking price) at Adam's Antiques in Adamstown PA. It's a group shop, but you can tell them it's dealer J3 if you're interested.

Good luck,
Chuck

We always stop at this booth for their rack of vintage branded cookbooks (i.e. Frigidare, Campbell's...) and LPs.

One of the many booths with Corelle to the max!

And you don't just see stuffed beavers here!

Can't keep your head down when you're driving???

 

[perc-o-prince]

Looks OK from the outside...

 

[perc-o-prince]

But it's much better on the inside! A record changer for 78's?? Cool!

 

[perc-o-prince]

A lotta look!

 

[perc-o-prince]

OK, maybe a little too much look!

$395 for a toy Hoover???

for that price it should come with hot and cold running houseboys...

or at least the guy Chuck snapped the pic of.....

I LOVED this kitchen table set! Look at the chairs!

So far, we haven't gotten pix of any of our goodies other than the blender/mixer, but we'll try to post a few after we get home.

We saw Paul got some cool Corning Ware (see the platter thread) but did anyone else get out this weekend? We don't see many good estate sales like the ones that you guys find stuff at!

Oh dear, I can't even...

I managed to get out on Sat. morning, and went to the only sale in town. Found a harvest gold Oster perc, and a white Sunbeam electric knife. Both were kinda grungy having been stored in the basement, but cleaned up very nicely.

Fun shops! There are quite a few things that catch the eye in those booths - but the price tags burn the eyes!

We should start shipping estate sale goodies out there to you and let you sell them in a shop like that - maybe early retirement??

Thanks for the pics, it's always fun to come along on your adventures, except the corn cob. ;-)
