We have a new flea market in our town.
It's been open for about a month, outdoor, 8am-3pm, Sundays only.
I made my first trip there yesterday and scored a few things.

One guy had a 2 for a $1, box of tools, mostly asian, but I got these.
Proto 9/16 nutdriver
Snap-on 9/32 nutdriver
Dunlap phillips head
Indestro 11/16
Barcalo DOE
Williams Superrench 1164
Williams Superrench 1163
Proto 1222
Unmarked DOE
Miller stripper









Next guy had these for $5
Crescent pliers
Crestaloy 6-8" adjustable




Got these for another $5 from another vendor
Robinson adjustable
Bonney drift
Duro refrigeration tool w/ 2 Bonney ref. sockets




Another $2 for the bicycle wrench. Help needed to identify.
One side is marked with a large double triangle with a "C" inside.
Other side has a diamond with a "M" inside - A -I -  and another diamond with "M"
PAT - Nov 13,00 - Mar 11.02







I can't wait until next Sunday

Gotta love a new place to hunt

Nice finds
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Yeah, looks like this flea market is under the radar for the tool collectors in my area, for now.
My plan is to grab all the good stuff before they find out.

for $5!! Have you seen what they are selling for?

The bicycle wrench with M in a Diamond and A-1 is a Mossberg, but the other mark escapes me.

I just skimmed the surface at this place. I got there late and most dealers were packing up.
I plan to get there early next Sunday morning for the big score !!

I have a regular Saturday morning flea market that I go to every week.
It's a gold mine for tools and you guys would be amazed at the things that I don't buy.
