There is a bunch of that here as well. "I know what I have and won't budge from the pricing." I believe they come out hoping to make that big profit while just hanging out with their buddies drinking beer for 3 days straight. More of the whole cars for sale... This one drove by as well and... -

On Saturday we went to the PIR side of things. This is where you will find more rusty metal and random stuff, which we did find lots of random stuff. We made it all the way around the track. There were some nice vehicles for sale there. Some were decent prices and others were astronomically... -

Last thing I think I bought at the Expo was this cool little box. It is a vintage advertisement that has been burned and colored onto the wood. For $12, I could have it to contain something. The artist has signed his work. -

Here we have a fun tire pressure gauge from quite a while ago. I took the photos as I rolled it to read it. Patented on July 6, 1909... Parts house name... Google-foo does not give me a date range these were made, but it is probable around 100 years or so I would guess. -
Anyone going to the Portland Swap Meet this year (2025)?
Dad was a coin collector, so I always look at them. This one caught my eye. No date code on it, so it could be from according to the quick google-foo I did, from 1926 to sometime in the 30's. I am sure @Keith Seymore will know much more about it than I do. Backside of the coin. Guns and fire... -

More of my doodads from the Expo side of things... I just wanted the floaty key chain, the boat fuel tank key was a bonus. My wife's uncle owned the town 76 station, so I keep mine eyes open for something affordable to bring home to her. This time it was a little 2 inch patch. I also found... -

There are some other items that I have forgotten to take photos of that I will post up later. Then I also have a veritable plethora of photos I took at the PIR side of the event. Like these: These guys had a blast I am sure with their golf cart Tiki Bar. Buddy was on the hunt for a 2 barrel... -

Another cool flashlight. I will be upgrading this one to a LED bulb and it will be powered by a Lipo battery in the can to make it super bright. Then there was a pile of old calendars for $20, I got him down to $14. Stuff for the garage walls and cabinets someday... These two are... -

Let’s see your memorabilia?!
I have a set of milk glass bowls for one around this age if my google-foo is on point. I love finding old Pyrex and the similar at the thrift stores. -
Anyone going to the Portland Swap Meet this year (2025)?
We had a great time at both the spots. We did find more quality items it would seem at the Expo center, but we still found many treasures at PIR. On Friday we spent way to much time looking at things as we didn't make it through probably 1/3 of the stuff to look at. But we still had loads of fun... -

Some of the characters are the fun part to watch though. The old codgers that are searching for that one specific rusty bolt for one of his 27 different projects. And will talk the sellers ear off while I try to ask a question for 5 minutes before I just put it down and walk away. It is a... -

Third on the vise crimper. It works just fine. -

It is going to be a busy week for sure. The Portland Winterhawks are in the first round of playoff hockey and there are 3 home games this week to attend. Plus the swap meet for 2 days at the end of the week. I bought a trike for myself to be able to pedal around the PIR portion of the swap meet...
