Today was the official opening of the annual Spring Jacktown Engine Show
flea market. The weather was a touch cooler than yesterday but it
warmed up nicely with the abundant sunshine. The fields were fairly
full today, although not as busy as some years have been.

Pickings were steady and heavy to a point. From the blacksmithing area,
there is a square hole punch, a curved face set hammer, 4 pairs of
tongs, a denglestock (scythe sharpening anvil), a flatter, and a hand
forged cross peen hammer.
