Monroe WA Swap Meet this weekend!!

We'll be in section 30 the old section D and in spots 98, 99, and 100.

I'm bringing a 20 ft trailer and a dump truck full of parts....should make unloading easy.

 

I'm in ! !!
I Just finished gathering up all my coins... They'll hear me coming...
The last of the big spenders ...
Pockets full of quarters...
And a head full of HotRod dreams..
(Just Point me towards the .25 &.50 cent piles and step back outta my way ! ! )

 

Gates open at 8am !
T-minus 3 hours to go for launch !

 

wow! what a great swap meet. got lots of good stuff. how about you?

 

Unfortunately I did not get to go to the swap today. Several of us took time out to honor my cousin and friend Tom Profit at his memorial today. Maybe next year...... Hope you all had a good time and found or unloaded some good stuff! Tom was more of a lurker on the HAMB Bliever was his handle I think.

 

Sorry for your loss sir. You’ll be in my prayers.

 

Went yesterday on Saturday, got there early, found the one thing I was looking for, bought it.
Ran into some old friends and also said hello to fellow hambers that I knew would be there.
Great weather, glad I went !

 

Good time!

 

Great swap, very upbeat. Had a good time found lots of great stuff

 

It was a good meet, got a pair of Lincoln brake drums from Rocket’s garage, also got a pair of 32 Chevy hood sides for $20, going to see if I can modify them to use on the coupe.Weather was perfect,

 

Didn’t get a chance to go but was lucky enough to get a nice’36 Ford rear fender thanks to F-head. As a bonus, he even dropped it off on his way home!

 

wow its that time again! i'm going, can't keep me away! anybody else going?

I will be there early on Saturday 5/20/2023, looking forward to it.
Hope to see fellow HAMBERS there as well.
See ya all there!
Thanks from Dennis!

 

I used to go all the time but haven’t been in years... exchange rate, dickhead border guards, and a couple of bad experiences with asshole vendors keeps me away. However, in a couple of weeks the 54th (I think) edition of our Coastal Swap Meet will be upon us...

 

Look forward to it, plus it’s only a 7 mile drive!

 

As usual...

 

Myself and @ClarkH and @Flootiebuell will be in section 30, stalls 96-100.

 

one more day. see you there!

 

Is it time yet ?...

Wagon'z ready ..

 

My vintage Klein tools hat, with the "Rick Young" shit list button on it, is ready!

 

T minus 14 hours till launch

 

I’ll have this on along with my GF tagging along.

 

T-minus 2 hours to launch...
All systems GO !.

 

That is a cool shirt.

 

stopped in for one quick pass, bumped into a few people I rarely see, unfortunately being pressed for time I didn't get to say much more than hihowareya and git.
good turnout, lots of vendors, potential buyers and beautiful weather,
couldn't find anything I couldn't live without but it was good to walk around and look at old junk.

 

I went looking for some front wheels for my gasser project. I found exactly what I was after. Bought a nice large logo 97 stromberg for 30$. There was a ton of cool flathead stuff. My kid found a nice set of buick script finned valve covers for his nailhead project. Great swap! Glad we went.

 

Great weather today, lots of sun, and it got warm but not overly sweltering, but being in the shade at times made it comfortable. Great turn out, tons of stuff to see, a little bit of everything for everybody. Interesting variety of vehicles in the car coral.

Here are a couple of favorites. Pardon the lack of focus, I had my cell phone in my pocket and forgot to wipe the lens, so the clarity isn't up to what it usually is.

 

I was focused on a few certain items, and one item was a surprise to me ( the jag grille ).
So here are the scores today, I kept to smaller items. The nose grille from a Jag XK 150 was too good to pass up, it is in really great shape.



The old rusty railroad lantern, minus the glass globe, was a cheap score, it will get the glass globe for it.




Scored a really nice pair of vintage well maintained kerosene lanterns.



Scored a really well built water tower for a train lay out, the center tube actually has liquid in the center sealed tube, with airspace for the unit to make bubbles.



Scored a couple of really nice glass lenses .
It was a great day, and I came home with money in my pocket as well. I have learned over the years, because lack of space, to NOT drag home large stuff, that takes up a lot room.
Have a great weekend from Dennis.
