    That phone was clearly to call BATMAN. 😂 Enjoyed the video.

    Thanks for the video..Those rotary-style phones without the dialer, often called "candlestick phones" or "manual service phones," existed because, in the early days of telephony, calls were manually connected by an operator. Users would pick up the receiver and speak to the operator, who would then manually connect the call by plugging in the appropriate cables at the switchboard.

    Hi Tom! I love watching your videos. I live about 30 minutes west of Brimfield and love going there… I noticed you picked up some Fiestaware which I collect and have quite a but if my grandmothers, as for those with some utensil marks the best way to get rid of that is with barkeepers‘s friend a scouring powder you can usually find it at your local Stop & Shop and sometimes they have it at Walmart a little cheaper.
    Cheers!
    Jeff 😊

    I think the rain adds to the atmosphere. Please use a pen or pencil to scour the boxes of pins!!! Nice score on the Fiestaware!

    I'm surprised no one called you out on your open umbrella in the tent, although you closed it sometimes. You are dripping all over their merch. July Brimfield starts Tuesday July 9. Tell what field you are in if you can and what day of the week. I sold in Brimfield for 20 years. I miss doing it but it's so much work😂. You are right a rainy day in Brimfield is still better than anywhere else.

    I have the Micronta Multimeter that you picked up at 5:26. It was my first meter and I still prefer analog to digital for diagnostics due to being able to get "twitch" readings.

    It was so sad seeing all of the beautiful wooden pieces outside of tents and buildings getting drenched with rain the day that I went this year. Fabrics getting saturated and muddy, anything electronic... it was a hard one!

    Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I've been binge watching your whole flea market playlist from newest to oldest and so far I saw two Made in Japan Donald Ducks that you said probably 70's that were definitely from Tokyo Disneyland. IDK what year they opened.
    Also I know it's not your thing, but in two videos you went passed what looked like a precolumbian Mayan ceramic. LoL it could have been the find of a lifetime or a tourist repro, but a lady recently gave one to the Mexican National Museum that she found at Goodwill for a few bucks. So it could happen

    The time to go is when the dealers are setting up. Back when everyday a new market would open up. I would be at Brimfield for almost a week and hit 90 per cent of the dealers. My feet would be killing me by the end of the week! LOL

    To remove those black marks in the coffee mugs... I was told there is a product ( in the household cleaner area ) called The Bartenders Friend ( or something close to that ) that works really well. I was told Walmart carries it over were the Ajax & such is at. :~)

      you could simply try a bit of lemon juice first. Depending on the stain, vinegar or a bit of tooth paste also might do the trick

    The phone that had no dial would be a phone that back when a operator got incoming calls and the call would be transfered to that type of phone.
