Those pins that said "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" were an old advertisement for Alka Seltzer
Yep...
Thanks for the info!
Brimfield......WOW. What a place. I worked it as a vendor many years ago. Sold framed distressed art I made. Five day show, left after four. Had made my money and was ready to go back to NY State. Visited a few times with my wife and bought too much stuff. LOL The place is one of a kind.
I don't think I could last as a vendor there. I think I would lose my mind after sitting there for 5 days. Lots of great stuff for sale though! I always look forward to Brimfield! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and esp giving prices. Cheers

Thanks for watching!
Darien Lake is on Route 78 between Rochester New York and Buffalo New York it's an amusement park but it's actually better known for his concerts that they have their big name people coming there to perform
That's a new one for me. If I'm ever in the area, I may check it out!
@@fleabittenadventures you take Route 78 off the New York Thruway North which makes it very easy to get to because it's kind of out in the country so there's no major traffic jams
I look forward to Saturdays to see if you have posted a new flea market video. 😊
Glad to hear it! Don't worry, I have no plans to stop my flea market videos anytime soon. Thanks for watching!
Can’t believe I ate the whole thing Alka-Seltzer commercial
Thanks for the info!
I collect presidential campaign buttons. I have over 100 in my collection. Great video Tom as always.Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!🇺🇲
Thanks! You too!
Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
I really liked this video you did a good job on it
Thanks!
I attended the 82 Worlds Fair in Knoxville Tenn. Great memories. Enjoy your videos
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Hello,hello, my cousin lived in Brimfield and would go to this flea market all the time....So....when are we going to see the collection of yours in your Barn tour???...😇😇
Someday..... I'm still trying to find the time to do it. Thanks.
Brimfield is fun time! Never know what you’ll find.
For sure!
Hot Bird is a nickname for their 1/64 scale Pontiac Firebird in their mainline of basic Hot Wheels toy cars. I love your flea market shows and always look forward to the next one. Thank you taking us along with you.
Thanks for the info and for watching!
I’m so happy you bought the 1982 Knoxville TN Worlds Fair pin. My mother, stepfather, and stepsister all got to attend. My sister and I still lived in VA with our grandparents and school had already started and we weren’t allowed to go. I’ve never forgotten how upset we were and jealous that our stepsister(who lived in TN), was allowed to go but we weren’t. School in TN hadn’t started yet but when you’re a kid you just don’t understand.
I don't see too much 1982 Worlds Fair items for sale, so I was happy to find that button. I wish they still did Worlds Fairs today! I've never actually been to one.
Thanks!
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Of the bottles you grabbed I did like the 5 dollar one best. I never had that toy with the gears inside clear housings, but I do now remember the ads for it way back when. Thanks!
Capsela was great fun! I used to like that and Construx. Those were my favorite toys to actually play with back in the 80's.
Good nostalgia this episode! Darien Lake was my local childhood amusement park before consumed by Six Flags. Remember drinking out of those exact glass bottles in the 80s. Had a couple Capsula sets as a kid. And Ames, what a store! The only store I liked more than Ames was its predecessor, Hills!
Glad you liked it! I never got to go to a Hills. I don't think there were any in my area of CT.
Damn I missed it again I’ll have to mark the next one down on my calendar
Don't worry, It'll be back soon enough! Less than 2 months to go for the July show.
Those skunks were adorable!
Yes, they were!
I love your videos!! I was at Brimfield on the 17th and was wondering if you would be around wandering too!!! Hope to run into you at July Brimfield!! Take care
Thanks for watching! I may be back in July, depending on how hot it is. Maybe I'll see you there!
Bubble-up Soda was introduced before 7up 1st Lemon -lime soda by Coca Cola. Great Bottle 🤓
Interesting! Any idea how old the bottle is? Thanks.
I love uranium glass too!
It's pretty cool!
My friend and I went on a day that was nonstop raining. With a couple umbrellas and my water proof boots it was still a great time. Went back the next day without any rain and we were glad we did. We try to go to the antiques flea market at least once each year, it's become a tradition for us. So much cool stuff to look at, get a lot of walking in, and meet plenty of interesting people.
I went on Friday and Saturday. The weather was great on Friday, but it rained most of the day on Saturday. I still had fun on Saturday. Found some great stuff!
We had a crazy day there on Friday, should have gone on Thursday. The crowds were insane but still fun. I always make sure to stop by at Gary Sohmers booth, former Roadshow appraiser, expert and very knowledgeable. Lots of cool stuff, got a few good Zappa dodads. See you there in the fall. Thank you
I thought Friday was great! Saturday, not so much.... I'll definitely be there in Fall!
Will we ever see your collection of flea market finds? Do you have a room or basement/ man cave dedicated to them?
Well, I've got some of it on display and I do have a "nerd cave", but 75% of it is in my 2 storage lockers. I hope to do a video on my display collection sometime in the not too distant future. Thanks.
I can't believe I ate the whole thing was an advertisement from years ago it was an advertisement for Alka-Seltzer. It was from 1972 and it actually made the advertising Hall of Fame
Got it! Thanks!
If your doing resale, you should have checked out that old pink toy washer. If that was truly old, it might have been a good buy. Hey, If you want a good Pepsi bottle, get the double dot one. An a lot of people like the Mountain Dew bottle with the Hillbilly w/ his shotgun, chasing the guy off past the out house.
Thanks for the suggestions! Where was the pink toy washer?
@@fleabittenadventures Frame 9:32 The pink old fashion washer is on the right side of the screen/frame. Micky Mouse is resting his head on it. The thing even has a little ringer ( thing you crank that squeeze's the water out ) on it. Looks kind of neat ! :~)
The Terminal Building item is a change tray or a trinket tray.
Oh ok! I wasn't sure and just figured it was an ashtray. Either way, I think it's pretty neat! Thanks for watching!
I have one of those green military flashlights they usually come with the filters to put on a one I have is got a blue filter or green filter and a red filter used for concealment
Interesting. I've never seen one for sale with filters. I'll have to keep an eye out for those.
The champion outboard motor was sold by Sears
Cool! I didn't know that.
I went and could not find any parking! So I went to Sturbridge Flea Market instead!
Parking can be tough, but there are some big fields hidden down some of the side streets.
Im not an archeologist, but i would have to say amber would be odorless since it's petrified. Maybe not.
I do love the scent of pine sap, pitch. That's what I miss about Oregon. But not the needles lol
The "Hot Bird" was the name Hot Wheels used for their 1/64th diecast version of the Pontiac TransAm- so they also used it on the model kits
Was it a licensing thing though, replacing "fire" with "hot"? I would think Firebird would sell more models/cars than Hot Bird.
I'm pretty sure those Miscoe bottles originated in Mendon, MA eons ago.
I'll have to look into that more! Thanks!
Try it you'll like it 😂
Maybe.
You are right about the amber. No way that stuff is real.
Yup. It's too bad because I wanted to clone a dinosaur.
Try it you like it and I can’t believe I ate the whole thing is from 1970’s Alka-seltzer
Oh OK, makes sense. I was probably too young at the time to remember those ads. Thanks!
I can't believe I ate the whole thing ! [pins. sounds like Alka-seltzer.
Thanks for the info!
please look through the records, they are worth money too!!
I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure which ones are worth anything though.
It was Mikey from the one cereal company
l
Ledgewood Circle is on RT 10 in Ledgewood NJ
Those little critters were most likely in resin (epoxy resin).
I believe that's opalized bark on the outside of the petrified wood
Never head of that before. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!
Are you going to be at Brimfield North in New Hampshire today?
No, I didn't make it. That's a long trip for me and I think it's pretty much the same stuff for sale that was at Brimfield in Mass, right? Is it worth going to Brimfield North if I've been to Brimfield South? Thanks.
@@fleabittenadventures No, I suppose it wouldnt be. Im not sure if the vendors are all the same or different. I saw many character glasses though haha
Wow! That place is expensive. Or am I just cheap?
No, it's expensive, in general.
** Amber Glows under UV Light !!
Really? I didn't know that. I do have a UV flashlight, so I'll have to test it next time. I'm fairly certain it's not real though. Thanks!
@@fleabittenadventures I heard about it on another resellers channel. I also double checked it before I said anything. This trip was fun, I'm new an enjoyed tagging along while you shopped ! :~)
is this every weekend?
What was with the fallout 3 music in the background
I noticed that too. I think that vendor was playing a streaming channel of Fallout inspired music.
Well you two only includes what you're interested in and that you dated yourself by only looking at stuff around the seventies or so .A lot of people. myself included, like to see the older stuff that is considered a long-term collecting item play your interests are the same in every one of these seen one seen them all
It's my video so I film what I like.
@@fleabittenadventuresand yet you started your video asking more people to subscribe!

You May be 5 hours late!
Late for what?
you sound way too comfortable saying you carry around a Geiger counter
Very sad to see what Brimfield has become.
My parents were antique dealers for many years.they saved all their best stuff for brimfield. This was 70's80's we did the may show in the original field,then moved to one of the newer fields down the street. We would get breakfast at the church in town. Don't know if they still do that. Back then it was strictly the best and rarest stuff . I haven't been in many years. Looks like its a large average flea market now. Some things weren't even vintage! The market has changed, and so has Brimfield I see. Do they still have the amazing lilacs near the porta potties in the old field? As a kid I member them well. Lots memories there and at smaller flea markets.
Your absolutely right. I am only interested in quality items. For me Brimfield is not worth going too. I do better for rare or unusual antiques on Ebay. Brimfield when I went would not allow junk dealers to set up. I guess they allow anything now to be sold
What has it become?
They can sell whatever they want, as long as it's legal. I'm fine with what they have though. I wouldn't be able to afford any of the high end antiques anyways, and that's not what interests me.
As I said, it’s become a fairly average flea market. Lots of variety because it’s so large but not what you used to see. Years past (70’s-80’s) only the best and rarest antiques were at Brimfield. Dealers would save their best finds for Brimfield. It wasn’t vintage, it wasn’t new, it wasn’t common stuff. Things change , the market changes, it’s just become a very large somewhat average fleamarket. For anyone who loved the way it was it would be very disappointing now. Maybe you just had to see it in hen to understand.
Lot of garbage
garbage, treasure....tomato, tomato
And you are watching
Watching hoping to see better stuff. Unfortunately never saw anything that I collect.
It is fascinating to see what people put out to sell. Yes, some garbage but there is plenty of oddities and rare stuff as well. You need to accept that there will be garbage and obviously you watched.
That's a matter of opinion. As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. That's a fact.
