Found at the Atlanta flea market Saturday. $5 for the metal horse carnival prize. Super stoked to nab it. My granddad had one when I was a kid and my cousins and brother and I all loved to play with it whenever we visited. I'm not sure if the little wooden bowling pin was part of a game or part of a trophy, but it was a 50 cents so home it came. Same for the belt buckle. I think it's probably for a kid's belt, or a woman's, but for half a buck it wasn't staying behind.

^^^^ Very cool Dale! Nice that it brings back great memories for you.
I thought I posted this the other day, but apparently didn't hit "enter" or something.
My wife found this Chimayo clutch at a flea market for $5.00. It's old, but the colors in the weaving are vibrant. The Talon zipper is from the mid to late 1930s and the lining gives me that age vibe as well. The silver buttons for snaps is a nice touch.

Thanks Dale!
Found this for $1.00 today. I don't have a camper, but I'm a sucker for this sort of thing. Guessing mid-1960s unless they were using vintage vehicles in the artwork (or this is a re-pop).
Also found a hat that doesn't fit me for $8.00. It is from a long-gone local store so that makes it cool enough to add to the "collection". Pretty sure this is a mid-1960s item as well.

Cool finds, Bob. The ribbon on that hat is great, and the camper plate....well, that's a pretty awesome score.I don't own a camper either, but I would've scooped that up.

More crap followed us home ...
My paternal Grandparents had this same lithograph print in their home (I think it went to my Aunt's family). Victor Kowalski was the artist. It was $2.00.
The embroidered linens / pillow cases were 75-cents for the bundle.
The ties were 25-cents each.
The tiny tart cups were $1.00 for the set.

Thanks Bob. It's been good to get back out there on the hunt lately now that things are starting to open back up.

^^^^^. They also gave me a 1941 wool Army officer’s overcoat. No pics of mine as my son-in-law already nabbed it.

Hard to beat that deal! Those are nice!!! The coat was a great score, too. Congrats on the time you spent with it and your son-in-law scored well. I'd say he's pretty lucky to know you.

Thanks Dale! The coat looked great on him. My daughter even said so (and she typically doesn't like the vintage stuff).

Found an old hangover helmet. Been a few since I've seen one of these. Hopefully I won't need it any time too soon.

That motel chair next to it looks like a survivor. Frame appears to be steel bar rather than tubing.

Thanks Tony. Yep ... it's a good one. Probably worth powder coating at some point.

Found these in a flea market in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.
A hat/coat rack. The hooks swivel. $9.50.
A small drying rack. I will use this for hat bands. $18.00.
The arms raise up and have enough play to get the end under the shelf to hold them horizontal.
