Fleamarket findings...

[DerGendarm]

Hello people,

I want to show you some of my fleamarket findings. It's not much but some nice items:







Canadian holster, american pitcher, german cups and saucer, fabric in belgian colours - sometimes used by the resistance and last but not least a german egg-handgrenade 1917.

Cool findings Michael.

How often do you go to flea markets?

Cool findings Michael.

How often do you go to flea markets?

Hello Bjorn,

as often as I can - mostly on sundays. I go to exhibitions as well but not for buying. I get up at about 03:30 AM, get in my car and out 'hunting'.

And you?

It would be an amazing find here to find that amount at a flea market in the US! What finds!!

Newest stuff... 03/11/2013

Hello collectors,

I'd like to show you my newest findings. Not much for 4 hours of 'picking':

• a german toolbox - except 'Werkzeug' (Tools), no markings (the box used to be attached to a vehicule I guess);
• a german headset with two WaA-markings and the number 376 (Head Phone);
• two fake flags...

That's it for today!

Regards

Michael

Great items!

Last year I was at La Gleize show so we spent some time around on a flea markets (largest being in Liege). There are some really neat items one can find there, if you're picking regularly. Unfortunately, in Croatia we don't find much stuff while picking.

Great items, thanks for sharing ! Tom

Nice findings!

There is still A LOT to be found.

I always go to flea markets in the neighbourhood when I have the chance (not as early as you though ) and almost always find something, sometimes very rare things.

It's the early bird who catches the worm!
