IT'S A RAINY COLUMBUS DAY EVENING...TIME TO GET THESE ON.

"FALL CARLISLE 2005"

I HAD BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ANNUAL EVENT (FOR ME) AS MY 21st VISIT. THE WEATHER REPORT WAS MORE THAN PERFECT FOR OUR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY STAY-OVER. WE DID THE USUAL OLD TIME DINER STOP ON THE WAY OVER ON FRIDAY MORNING IN HARRISBURG AND THEN MADE OUR WAY OVER TO THE CAMPGROUNDS OUTSIDE THE CARLISLE SWAP MEET. WE WENT IN GATE 5 AND STARTED IN OUR USUAL AISLES FOLLOWING A TRADITION THAT STARTED BACK IN 1993 (W/MY BROTHER...HIS 11th YEAR). I SAW ALOT OF NICE STUFF AND NICE PRICES AS WELL. THERE WERE MORE SIGNS THAN PUMPS AND GLOBES COMBINED BY QUITE A MARGIN. I ONLY MANAGED TO SPEND ABOUT 1/6th OF MY BUDGET ON THE HOBBY. I BOUGHT TOOLS AND STUFF I NEED FOR THE GARAGES, BUT WAS DESPERATELY SEEKING TO SPEND $100+ IN THE LAST 30 MINUTES I WAS THERE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. I COULD'VE HAD A BUNCH OF 60'S METAL Q/S QUARTS FOR ABOUT A $1.....FULL!!...BUT BLEW IT WHEN I RETURNED THE 2ND DAY ONLY TO FIND THAT THE SELLERS WERE OUTTA THERE! IN HIND SIGHT THERE WERE A FEW THINGS I COULD'VE GONE BACK FOR, BUT MY DOGS WERE BARKIN' AND I NEEDED TO SIT DOWN, AS IN PACK-UP AND HIT THE ROAD. I HAD A GREAT TIME AND IT ALL WENT TOO FAST. I SAW SOME OLD FRIENDS AND MADE SOME NEW. OVERALL, DESPITE MORE THAN NORMAL EMPTY SPACES AND HIGH PRICES ON BASIC JUNK, I WASN'T REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SHOW.
I'M SAYING THAT AS A BUYER OF COURSE. THE ONE ITEM THAT MADE ME LAUGH WAS THIS COND. 5 DUNLOP TIRES SIGN, METAL AND MEDIUM SIZED FOR $195.00!! IT WAS DEF A $25 SIGN....LOL!!!

SO, HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM THE 2-DAYS I WAS THERE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER....AND MOSTLY SIGNS....SORRY NO CANS (I THINK).









CHECK BACK....MANY POSTINGS TO COME....

THIS WAS OUR ONE-NIGHT CAMP. MY BROTHER TED STAYED IN THE GROUND TENT, WHILE I SLEPT UNDER THE TARP TENT ON THE BACK OF HIS DODGE.

I NOTED PRICES WHERE I COULD.

SEE, IT WASN'T TOO BAD!

THANKS!
