Obviously affected by the current chaos, but check this out:

Elephants trunk is good.

Woodbury used to be really good, when it was in an ex gravel bank behind an A+W. I went there when I was a kid, and that's where I'd go when I was in CT to visit family. The A+W sold out to a driving range, with a contracted deal to always allow the flea market. Then it became a drive in that changed hands a few times, went out of business, got bought by a developer who booted the flea market and built a pretty strip mall type place.
They moved to the restaurant lawn/extra parking, but it's really small. Maybe 20 dealers on a good day, and not all of them have old stuff of any sort. It probably isn't worth the drive from Hartford.
