While this is not a tool swap meet, it does often include tools. Its a motorcycle and parts swap meet. I will have a pickup truck load of tools and a few mc parts. Two years ago Hunter found a set of Craftsman Whitworth box ends! All my tools are fairly priced and bargaining is allowed/encouraged.

The Swap Meet was well attended. We had a lot of vendors and very many visitors. I had $52 in my pocket before 9AM opening time. Made almost 200 and tossed a 20 in the Victory Fire Dept "boot" (one of our co-sponsors, they provided tables and chairs for eating area). We had a food truck with a great menu. Gray clouds in the morning gave way to a hazy sunshine.
Photos from my cell phone - I couldn't see the screen so I just held it up and clicked the shutter. The first shot includes my crude tool display.

I gave a friend a Blatz beer can opener (he has a "Museum of Beer" in his garage). He gave me some wrenches that were his dad's and grandad's.

I think that's a Model T sp plug wrench, heavy wrench with hole in handle marked only with wrench number 35, many wrenches appear painted gold. Does anyone recognize the small hex wrench at the bottom that has a screwdriver handle?
