Monroe WA Swap Meet this weekend!!

You know, one of the cool aspects of going to swap-meets is, you never know what treasures you will find there.
As I was walking towards the gate to go home, on the last table I was passing by, I spotted these two cool little glass lenses, for $5.00 each.
The amber one, was the second one of these I have found, so now I have a matched set.

The red lens, was one I had never seen before, and it has a cool swept back streamline, Art Deco feeling to it.
After a bit of soap and water, and a bit of steel wool, they cleaned up very nicely. I was surprised to discover that the red lens is made by Dietz, that really made me smile!

You know, you can walk into any jewelry store, and pay big bucks for diamonds and other jewels that are way over rated, and in my estimation, are common, and not that rare. But you can go to a swap meet, and find cool glass, such as these, that are really fine works of art, from another time period, long ago!

Enjoy from Dennis.

 

Nice weather, lots of people and stuff. I think everyone in the area was trying to sell their Holley carbs and fishing gear. I found nothing interesting except for an early Cad dual quad intake, but I have 3 of those so passed. Left with sore feet and money still in my pocket so all in all it was a great day!

 

Monroe was great this year. Found a bunch of good stuff, saw lots of friends.
It was really hoppin Saturday morning

 

it's that time again! i'll be there driving the 59 bel air sat.. who else is going?

 

I’ll be there, hopefully it stays dry.

 

I'll be there, hawking the usual treasures.

 

Me ! Me !
I'm on my way !

 

Wow !

Anybody going back tomorrow ?

 

^^^ Wow is right! Great crowds! I think I had my best Monroe selling day ever. Still have some cool stuff left, however. I always stick around for Sunday. Even if I just make gas money, I prefer a leisurely afternoon wind-down to a frantic load-up at the end of the day Saturday.

 

Monroe Swap never disappoints, bumped into several guys I rarely see and picked up some junk I didn't know I needed. valve covers and intake to an engine that used to be free, can't say that anymore, a pair of Buick drums that will need work to make them work and another Olds to Chevy bell housing adapter because... I don't know.. redundancy lets you choose the favorite and let the rest go?

 

I got away cheap, $15 for parking was all I spent. Saw some friends, looked at a lot of stuff and saw nothing I was looking for. A good day!

 

Monroe was great again this year, saw lots of old friends and found lots of good deals
Got off to a slow start Friday, but Saturday was really hoppin
