Brimfield Finds - Lets See'em

[WillowGrove]

Last year I went on Saturday and I came away with next to nothing.

So this year I vowed to arrive on Day 1 at sun up. Which I did yesterday.

If there were showcases in the back of someone's tent, i walked back to look. If they had closed photo albums, I opened them. Stacks of trade cards were an opportunity to look for some interesting tobacco stuff. Bottles, pennants, business letterhead and invoices, I looked at it all.

Yet I found nothing I wanted.

It is still an awesome place to walk around and see unique stuff at every turn. Really cool environment filled with collectors, hipsters, artists, and long time antique dealers.

There were 3 dealers who carried only baseball and sports stuff - mostly equipment. Pretty good stuff too. Just nothing for me.

I'm posting a few photos of stuff I saw but didn't purchase.

You may not find baseball stuff if you go but if you enjoy exploring and people watching you will not be disappointed.
