Thanks for stopping in. Patricia, your friends would definitely know which shows usually have the "extra" stuff. Or call ahead and check--unless you don't mind looking at a lot of guns and knives. :D Hi Jennie! Thanks for stopping in.

How funny. Have a friend and her husband who used to travel the gun show circuit with their wares. They never got close to us, so we never attended a show. I know they had a lot of money tied up in their inventory. I appreciate the antique guns, but the new ones, on the whole, lack the craftsmanship. That is a generalization and I know there are some lovely handmade specialty guns being made today. I didn't realize there were so many antique items available. Will have to talk my DH into going next time one is in the area. Can’t believe the bath tokens! How funny.

And I had a good chuckle over the cat house tokens. Great post! That show sounds fascinating, Tracy. And I had a good chuckle over the cat house tokens. Great post!

What a neat experience, seeing guns and knives from the past. I'm fascinated by historical weapons--the modern day ones, not so much. Love the cat house tokens, Tracy.
