FLEA MARKET FINDS, FINALLY! | RESELLER SHOPS ANTIQUE & VINTAGE

FLEA MARKET FUN! | REAL WORLD FLEA MARKET EXPERIENCE

It had been a long dry spell with so many flea markets closed, but Luke’s Town and Country Flea Market in Greenville, Kentucky comes to life in this video as we shop for vintage bargains in the middle of the week!

This is an unvarnished look at the real flea market shopping experience, where I shop as a reseller, ferreting out the cool old stuff among an array of products ranging from chickens to tube socks. I really have fun flea market shopping, and am excited to take you with me on this real world experience!

Bright orange glass, Victorian sleeve crimpers and an early Mickey Mouse toy are all to be found, showing why flea markets are such fun places to shop for variety’s sake. Whether you want to pull a team of oxen with an old wooden yoke or light your room with a modernist floral floor lamp, there’s something to grab your attention. A visit with a dealer in ephemera shows us that the passion for vintage items is present in every venue where old stuff lurks.

When the heat gets intense, it’s time to duck into the permanent sheds, each with its own flavor of collectible. One shows a vast array of advertising clocks and ephemera, while another gives a clue that Army life might not have been everyone’s cup of tea. We talk about my strategy for finding things overlooked by starting at the edges, show how to tell a bread bowl might be fake and find lots to see…and a fair amount to buy.

Here are some more of the items we see along the way in this tour:

Imperial Cape Cod, Tonka trucks, Avon cape cod, shoeshine set-up, 1930s quilt, cast iron bed, afghan, oil barrel, general store screen doors, whiskey jugs, friction drive bus, sit-atop child’s steamroller, souvenir plates, cedar chest, churn, tapestry, tobacco flats, bittersweet ashtray, 1970s owls, Alberta bullets, Bybee Pottery, Lightning jar, Laugh-In lunchbox, crackle glass, foot locker, Fostoria Century, Pepsi tray, Fenton compote, Griswold and Wagner cast iron, coins, Arizona plaque, etc.

As always you find things I’ve never seen before. The sleeve crinkler was a new one for me. How cool.

[corasemrau]

Really like the western dioramas, I have never seen those. Thank you as always for being a great teacher!

[juleslorraine]

We can see this outside flea market would be fun to explore!

Interesting that someone made a ladle out of a coconut, very smart! I know people collected and saved Coke and Pepsi more, but you wouldn’t think Dr. Pepper would be so much harder to find with it being the oldest soda in the USA. Loved this flea market! ☮️

So many great items to see, thanks for the knowledge and the trip to the Flea Market, George.

At 18:40 she had a k& h truck plaza calendar. That's my favorite place to eat! That's was awesome to spot

George I love your knowledge. You’re very impressive. Pittsburgh was spelled without the H from 1891 -1911 so the plate dates back before 1911. Oh yes Kaufmanns department store in Pittsburgh. I do miss it.Did you know that Frank Loyd Wright designed Falling Waterfor the Kaufmann family owners of the department store in Pittsburgh.

[pipersmith]

Wonderful video! Loved the scary pile of goodies, it would be fun digging through that. 👍👍👍

[george.carrasco]

I moved to Greenville about 10 years ago and I love Muhlenberg county.

[susprime]

Oh Singapore Bird pattern dinnerware in front of the Avon Cape Cod. Skip the Avon and get the Singapore Bird.

Going to this flea market this weekend!

I loved that homemade crane you saw... He was precious. The Dairy Queen sign was massive!
