This morning kicked off the summer Steam Engine Show and flea market at 
Jacktown.  Unlike the spring event which is all flea market, this is a 
mix of show and flea market, and also goes for 3 days rather than 2.  I 
crawled out (way too damn early BTW), found some road coffee and hit the 
road.  I got there around 6:30AM with the place lightly covered in fog 
and with not too many dealers open.  But slowly and surely things picked 
up although it cloudy and damp the whole time.  A least there was no mud!

Couple of pics of the flea market area, early and in the fog

The exhibitor area where a lot of folks camp for the weekend.

Overall pickings were decent for the time and money spent.  The Stanley 
pickings included a No. 80 cabinet scraper, a Type 11 No, 3 smoother 
plane, a No. 42X saw set that needs the anvil and screw (which I think I 
still have from a basket case one), a 6" Rule & Level bevel square, a 
minty No. 49 auger bit gage, and a No. 151 adjustable spoke shave.

Dunlap 8" draw knife, a long and well made machinist tapered reamer, 
long and skinny blacksmith tongs, pair cabinet maker's turnscrews to 
restore, and a Wostenholm & Son IXL stag handled dagger.

Machinist key seat clamps, a penny knife made in Austria, German

Not a massive pile but reasonable overall.  Depending on the weather 
(which seems to be targeting my flea market days here for the past 
month..grrrrrrr) I may go back for a clean up pass tomorrow after the 
flea market.

But we shall see
