Made a contact yesterday and have been back 3 separate times. the fellow has so much inventory he cant get it all out at once. So, again tomorrow I must return...he has 2 more truckloads coming in (I have 1st choice on all coins and militaria). Which this could turn into an expansion of my hobby. This is of course, after we attend a large flea market. Hoping tomorrows temperatures will be a bit nicer for walking the flea market. (in reply to L C) Post #: 4

Good luck at the flea market tomorrow. We were out from 8am until after 3 this afternoon. Didn't do too bad,but not a lot for as long as we were out. found an old feed sack, a sharpening stone, a nice mccoy cookie jar, few pieces of pottery, and some nice kitchen bowls (anchor hocking,pyrex,etc). Handed out a few cards, one guys has a bunch of milk bottles he may be interested in unloading, and a woman is cleaning out her mom's house. Hopefully those will pan out. Supposed to rain all day here tomorrow. _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

You just never know what will show up. Acc--Speaking of sacks!!! I got a brown canvas U.S. Mail bag yesterday I havent a clue how old it is but I got it at one of the stuff a bag sales and tossed everything but the kitchen sink in there. Thought it may make a good ebay type item. Just something Id never seen before. Rich (in reply to VTdigger) Post #: 7
