  • Join me as I give the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market in New Milford, Connecticut another go. The first time I went was on opening day in April 2022 and it was cold and raining. This time it was hot, humid and the sun was beating down! Let's see what I can find on this beautiful day!

    Caldors and Bradlees were the BEST! I also enjoyed Lechmers, Ames, Media Play, and Service Merchandise back in the day

    I can't watch videos like this from anyone, cause you never stop at the stuff I want to look at.

      I understand, but I don't know what you want to look at. Therefore, I look at what I find interesting and I can only hope that you also find it interesting. Thanks for watching though.

      They seem to have more 80s toys at this show than many others, except for Brimfield. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

      I wish he was older so that we could see more toys from 1966- 1976.

    I still miss Caldor! That was our "one stop shop" in the 70's...we were there every week, at least once. Bought all my vinyl albums there, as a kid, before I started to shop some of the record stores in the 80's, 90's. I loved when the Sunday flyer came and I'd see what records were on Sale that week! :)

    Ohh and an easy quick way to determine if the Boston Terrier Hubley door stop is original or not is by the seam and screws....modern screw with less then smooth edges on repops

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good to know! I see so many of them that I just assume they are all repros. Thanks for watching!

    • @fredwanders2448
      @fredwanders2448 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So are the seams on original - geniunely smooth and tight as opposed to repro which are uneven with big gaps?

      @fleabittenadventures  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's what makes making flea market videos so difficult. Everyone is interested in different things. I just figure I'll look at what interests me and at least some of the viewers will find it interesting too. Thanks for watching!

    When I was a kid we had "lawn darts" called "Jarts" and they were the ones with the metal spikes. I remember my friend shot one down in front of her, it went through her canvas sneaker, and between two toes, luckily! Lol, I guess it's good they "outlawed" those...we 70's kids survived all those perils...somehow. Sheer luck.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure there are plenty of real vintage Boston Terrier statues / door stops out there. However, I see so many of them at flea markets that are identical that I'm fairly certain most of them are reproductions. I could be wrong though. Thanks for watching!

  • @fredwanders2448
    @fredwanders2448 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Tom it might be out of your price range- but getting the price for US will educate those who are interested in those things. Especially big old vintage Signs and toys from the 20s 30s even if you read out the prices of things you see please!

  • @LannieLord
    @LannieLord ปีที่แล้ว +1

    13:16 These are a bit of a "warehouse find" going back to the 1980s . They are vintage and all BUT all the collectors already have them. P.S. Howdy Doody collectors are getting UP THERE in years now. It does NOT bring the money that it used to. Same goes for old cowboys like Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy. The only 1950s stuff that fetches BIG money is robots and tin toys in the boxes. ALSO Home decor from the 1950s is HOT with younger people who were not born until 1989.

    25:00 Yellow card w/ flat red and white figure. W.C. Fields batter tester in the package. One of the SINGLE BIGGEST warehouse finds in HISTORY . Someone found CASES and CASES of these . They are EVERYWHERE ! Yes they are old but ; who wants them ? It's a battery tester. And it's W.C. Fields, not Boba Fett !

    39:47 OK- here's the deal. If you are set up at a FLEA MARKET - you'd better have "reasonable prices". And even if you're NOT gonna have reasonable prices - and you wanna amp it up to "collectors" prices....PUT A DAMN PRICE TAG on the ITEM so we don't have to get into a LONG B.S. conversation of the damn face-hugger . Just put a tag on it. People will read it and move on. Or maybe buy it. We don't want a long story .
