Just knocking around flea markets starting about thirty five years ago…I guess because I’ve been so active turning over every rock…so I see more stuff…then the more you research and learn the more you get into it…I’m slowing down a little…but thirty years ago typically on a Sunday I’d leave at 4:30am…hit fleas by flashlight and every kind of antique show from toys to guns to book fairs…then when I was done with those I’d start going thru the used books stores around the bay area till they closed…by the time I’d get home late at night I could hardly walk…Then when the plandemic thing started and shows shut down…I still found plenty of ways to get in trouble…especially on eBay…Below an incredible photo I found in an antiques store in San Francisco in early December 2020…
