Hey guys! This past Saturday I went out to Brimfield, Ma with my girlfriend and buddy for the Brimfield Flea Market. We spent about five hours or so walking around, looking at all sorts of things and bartering a bit. I ended up with a few records I had been looking for while my girlfriend bought a really cool drawer for art supplies. I think the drawer was an old printing press type-face storage cabinet or something...really cool once we finish it up. We left in the afternoon fairly confident that we saw lots of good things and should go back in September...but then we drove through town to leave and realized we spent 5 hours or so and only saw 20% of the entire flea market. Jeez.
Anywho, about halfway through my day I realized there were lots of old toys and such laying around. I don't collect die cast or models but thought that if I could get some images for interested Opponauts it could be my good deed for the week. If you are someone interested in models and Hot Wheels, hit up the closest large flea market to you. Seriously, I saw kits for Diablos, Testarossas, Model A's and more. There were old trucks like a fully functioning fire truck made out of tin, an old dump truck whose hydraulic bed still lifted and more. I didn't think to get pictures of these (actually, the hydraulic one is the third pic), unfortunately, so you will have to make do with the below. Enjoy!
The hydraulic still was working! You can see the lever in front of the rear wheels.
So many badges!
My friend actually really liked this one...it was a pretty big set.
I like this shot...haphazard toy shelf?
Could see both sides of the engine, suicide doors worked and the trunk also opened!
I like this one...toybox kind of feel.
This is my favorite. Quick glance fooled my friend into thinking it was real!
These were taken with my phone, not staged and quickly so people wouldn't start trying to barter with me on something I did not want to buy. Quality varies, as does framing.
