1st day wasnt bad for my first hersey! I started at 11 left around 6. Power walked half of it, the blisters are painful. Well picked up my model t coupe doors. There one more set on the chocolate field. Guy wanted to much 350 to 400 each. It was fun i enjoyed running into friends. Its easy searching for large items. Ill be back tommorow. Wear snickers. Found a hotel last minute 40mins away

Sorry for the randomness, typing from phone

 

Saw a quite a few t doors at good prices...under 250

Got a set of Lyons caps today and a six inch SW Speedo with a matching quad gauge. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

Only did half of it so far

 

searched for some things i didnt find in my price range but i did walk out of there with another bicycle which i didnt want to happen #15 hahaha 5bucks cant go wrong . and a beat up v8 hupcap for wall art.. the hunt continues

 

Was... a darn good day!

 

Until someone stole your cart.....

It was probably just full of kindleing anyway.

 

Bwahahahaha!

Have a great day, guys- hopefully, I can get back up someday soon! Oh, if anyone sees ONE (1) GM/Chevrolet 21 inch wire wheel, I could use a spare (finally found a set for the speedster)!

 

just got back, found a nos running board for my truck $100. a hand full of specialty tools, i didn't have, in a dollar pile. i met a fellow named Reed Martin that let me strum his gold plated 1923 Vega tubaphone with Glenn Carson custom neck, banjo
sorry i missed you guys that stopped to sign the banner, see you next year.

 

I looked for the HAMB banner several times, still must've walked right by it!

 

same here

 

Just got done stashing all my stuff I found.I didnt see a banner ,not saying there wasnt one,just was focused on items so most likely walked right by it.

Now I have to get down to business in the shop with all this crap!!!!Had a blast this year to say the least.

 

I never saw the Banner, but most of the time I was looking for a place to sit for a couple minutes. I probably walked by it or missed that row all together . My back was junk before I left the house . I did'nt even get a chance to go up and see noboD ,that I was looking foward to. But had a great time anyhow and met JolopyramaMike (??) from the Hamb.

 

30Buford, sorry I didn't see you. As many people as I did get to talk to there were many I missed. The week goes by WAY too fast. '37Kid had a/the banner, not sure how many signed it.

 

This year I had a homemade "Banner", I'll have a proper one for 2013! Hershey went by far too quickly! I found some needed parts, bought a few things to flip. Looking back on the event it just didn't have the same feel of earlier meets, not as many Wow factor cars, or stand out deals in the flea market. See you all there in 2013! Bob
