- Join me as I give the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market in New Milford, Connecticut another go. The first time I went was on opening day in April 2022 and it was cold and raining. This time it was hot, humid and the sun was beating down! Let's see what I can find on this beautiful day!

I just love how you take your mom with you . That's beautiful and loving son
Caldors and Bradlees were the BEST! I also enjoyed Lechmers, Ames, Media Play, and Service Merchandise back in the day
I can't watch videos like this from anyone, cause you never stop at the stuff I want to look at.
I understand, but I don't know what you want to look at. Therefore, I look at what I find interesting and I can only hope that you also find it interesting. Thanks for watching though.
I still enjoyed watching it but I’d enjoy seeing more glass, wood carvings, and artsy things better.
LOL. He's a "child of the early 1980s" . He walked past a pile of Aurora Monster models that I wanted to see close up but he had no interest.
Really enjoyed seeing all the 80s toys.
They seem to have more 80s toys at this show than many others, except for Brimfield. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I wish he was older so that we could see more toys from 1966- 1976.
I would have picked up that black and white Beatles photo.
I guess you didn’t hear me yelling as you walked right past two big tables full of old tools!!! Oh well, to each his own. I would walk right past tables of old video games and controllers. Thanks for sharing this video. Gonna have to take a trip to that flea market sometime.
That's what makes making flea market videos so difficult. Everyone is interested in different things. I just figure I'll look at what interests me and at least some of the viewers will find it interesting too. Thanks for watching!
Exactly!! Nice job!!
You should do a haul of what your mom bought it would be fun to see what she got
Ohh and an easy quick way to determine if the Boston Terrier Hubley door stop is original or not is by the seam and screws....modern screw with less then smooth edges on repops
Good to know! I see so many of them that I just assume they are all repros. Thanks for watching!
So are the seams on original - geniunely smooth and tight as opposed to repro which are uneven with big gaps?
I wish NYC where i live had lots of big extensive flea markets like yours.
We probably have more here because there are a lot more fields here than in NYC, I would imagine.
@@fleabittenadventures That's true, Because the real estate companies that owns the land forces the vendors off to put up those overpriced cardboard apartment buildings, And, Thank you for answering my comment.
I like watching your video's. If you ever see any vintage sports cards could you show them. Thanks a bunch.
I do really well there. Great place.
Yeah, it's definitely one of the better flea markets in Connecticut. I hope to go back sometime soon. Thanks for watching!
There were Boston Terrier cast pieces years ago,my great grandmother had one as a doorstop in the 50's,it was plain black as I remember,probably from the 30's
I'm sure there are plenty of real vintage Boston Terrier statues / door stops out there. However, I see so many of them at flea markets that are identical that I'm fairly certain most of them are reproductions. I could be wrong though. Thanks for watching!
THAT IS A NICE FLEA MARKET 😃
It sure is. It's probably my favorite in that area of the State. Thanks for watching!
Tom it might be out of your price range- but getting the price for US will educate those who are interested in those things. Especially big old vintage Signs and toys from the 20s 30s even if you read out the prices of things you see please!
13:16 These are a bit of a "warehouse find" going back to the 1980s . They are vintage and all BUT all the collectors already have them. P.S. Howdy Doody collectors are getting UP THERE in years now. It does NOT bring the money that it used to. Same goes for old cowboys like Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy. The only 1950s stuff that fetches BIG money is robots and tin toys in the boxes. ALSO Home decor from the 1950s is HOT with younger people who were not born until 1989.
20.55 Neil Diamond under "Heavy Metal"? 🤣
Yeah, Neil is, at best, rock and roll. Good eye and thanks for watching!
Look for all fishing stuff.
I remember when this market started
Cool. Was that around 1976 or so??? Thanks for watching!
new subscriber. you go at a nice pace and i enjoy the walkarounds very much!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video!
That boat was a bargain
25:00 Yellow card w/ flat red and white figure. W.C. Fields batter tester in the package. One of the SINGLE BIGGEST warehouse finds in HISTORY . Someone found CASES and CASES of these . They are EVERYWHERE ! Yes they are old but ; who wants them ? It's a battery tester. And it's W.C. Fields, not Boba Fett !
Not into breweriana I see. You missed the nice stash of beer trays on the ground at 22:48. Nice Narragansett try.
I’m going today!
Have fun! Thanks for watching!
@@fleabittenadventures I got a power rangers toy it was 27
@@cantthinkofaname7088 Nice find!
Have never paid to get into a flea market
Yeah, there are a few around here that charge. They usually only cost a few bucks, so as long as the show is big enough, I'm ok paying. Thanks for watching!
Out west ,Florida , a bunch you have to pay
If people had to pay in some market's they wouldn't even go
I remember when this market started is still on Danbury Rd #7?
me neither , But this one looks GOOD so ............
@@scottkane3776 Yes, it's still in the same spot --- Route 7!
Amazing, you just walked thru the whole flea market and you didn't buy anything!
I don't go to the office flea market no more because it's too long of a drive for me if I had somebody go with then I could take turns driving
Yeah, this flea market is a bit of a haul for me too. If it were closer, I would probably be there almost every week. Thanks for watching!
39:47 OK- here's the deal. If you are set up at a FLEA MARKET - you'd better have "reasonable prices". And even if you're NOT gonna have reasonable prices - and you wanna amp it up to "collectors" prices....PUT A DAMN PRICE TAG on the ITEM so we don't have to get into a LONG B.S. conversation of the damn face-hugger . Just put a tag on it. People will read it and move on. Or maybe buy it. We don't want a long story .
Infuriating why people do this. Like with HIGH priced Star Wars / comic books / action figures.....
I think that clown head went on top if one of those machines that blew up balloons
Oh, OK. That could be. I didn't think of that!
Do you buy anything
Yup. I'm not a dealer or picker, so I only look for stuff that I want for my personal collection. I did buy something in this video though. Thanks for watching.
Dennis the menace on antenna TV they show all those great 50s shows
At one of your last videos you stopped right in front of a modern magic lantern that shows those slides.
Did I? I must have not recognized it. Do you know which video it was in? Thanks for watching!
