2008 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

The Hammond Trio returned from the Barrie Flea Market late last night. We headed out to Barrie on Thursday afternoon and strolled the grounds from 8:00 to just after 3PM on Friday. This year we took in the whole venue including the dreaded Area B. We have now reached that sense of CMP awareness that helps filter out distractions (mostly, there was one young lady who couldn't afford a shirt that covered her "considerable" assets - Bob is still agog...). In the main, our focus allowed us to by pass the incredible selection of stuff found there and to zone in on CMP treasures.

Some of the treasures I found:

Ford Cab 13 grill in great shape - $10

Prototype HUP (just guessing here - photos tomorrow) pax side door window and frame (in rough shape) - $10

Refurbished 45 licence plate (beauty job) - $25.00 - pairs were going for $50

Chev Horn - $5

Speedo cable - $5

Elusive but evidently still available CMP tool box (filled with modern tools) - $5

The boys can add their finds if so inclined to do so.

Bottom line, it was a hellishly hot, muggy day of picking the "pepper out of the fly sh*t". But, worth the trip!
