    Mountain Park was a smaller amusement park on the road up to Mt. Tom. I believe it was a "trolley Park" that in later years competed directly with Riverside Park. I believe all that remains in the area is the classic carousel that was saved and runs in downtown Holyoke.

      Cool! I'll have to look into that more. I know all about Riverside Park, but somehow never heard of Mountain Park.

    I have the exact Pepsi glass, the one you passed on. I also have the matching Coke glass as well. Thanks for sharing.

      Cool. Any idea how old it is?

      Judging from the logos they look to be the late 80s.

    I was around in the 1960s and the kiddy lunch boxes were made out of medal. Them are 1970s because that's when they banned metal lunch boxes because kids were using them to fight with.

      That's what I thought too, but some sources say that there were some plastic lunchboxes in the 60's, but not many. That Peanuts one is allegedly from the 60's. I know, I can't believe it either. Thanks for watching!

    4:03 That blue bunny is just a bendable for Eastern ( Probably 80's & the Yellow one 70's). Buster Bunny from Looney Tunes is blue with tshirt.

    OMG! Garfield books and those cups from McDonald’s. We had those cups! I used to collect those Garfield books! Loved reading those when I was a kid! :)

    • @fleabittenadventures

      I was a huge fan of Garfield in the 80's! I had at least 4 of those Garfield books back in the day.

    You ever consider doing an overview of your collection? Or parts of it? Would be interesting. :)

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes. Someday, maybe later this year. I just need to get everything organized and looking good first.

    Definitely remember the Beanie Baby craze; never really got into it myself but my Mom was an e-commerce pioneer flipping them on eBay.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому

      I was never into it either. I don't own any of them. The only one I would be interested in would be a Boston Terrier one, if they ever made one...

    Plastic lunchboxes have been around in Canada since the late 60's due to the metal ones being banned up there (heard it was due to kids beating each other up with them, but I am not sure). As such, Canadian plastic lunchbox versions of US metal ones a very collectable.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому

      Interesting. I didn't know that. I always assumed plastic lunchboxes were an 80's thing. Thanks.

    I was chucklin' at the 💩 mugs! And if the price has been right, I would've snapped up all those Garfield books.

    • @fleabittenadventures

      Yeah, I was considering the Garfield books. Maybe they'll be there next weekend.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, I don't know much about TMNT. I was just a little bit too old when they became popular and they passed me by.

      Shoot! I can't believe I missed that one on my recent New Jersey trip! I just added it to the list. I'll have to hit it on the next NJ trip, which will be in May at the earliest. Thanks!

    how big would you say this market is compared to the Elephant Trunk? I'm thinking about going but its an hour and 15 minutes from my house and I don't want to go if it is a small market.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому +1

      Roughly equivalent size, maybe slightly smaller. It's NOT small at all!

    • @huntercatalcazar3728
      @huntercatalcazar3728 3 місяці тому +1

      Not. Just a little bug from the grass.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  3 місяці тому

      I had a run in with fleas back in 2009. It was definitely not a flea. If I remember correctly, it was an extremely bright yellow bug. I've never seen one like it before.

    • @fleabittenadventures

      Yup. Nothing to worry about.

    Just curious, you mentioned you have a sister and I know from the Santa place video you have a brother…are you a middle child? Or maybe you are the youngest? Trying to figure it out!

    quit saying "actually". it doesn't mean anything!

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  2 місяці тому

      Do I say it a lot? What word should I use instead?

    • @tylerjames6842
      @tylerjames6842 2 місяці тому

      @@fleabittenadventures just eliminate it from your vocabulary. try this exercise. go through your video. when you say actually, repeat the sentence leaving out "actually". you will see that it means the same thing.
