On vacation with wife, grandkids and one great-grandson in eastern Tn., and took all and sundry to an outdoor/indoor flea market this morning.
Started lightly raining and wife and all others went inside, I stayed outside and was looking at merchandise at the few tables that had an awning or other cover over them when I came upon a table where there were some reloading/muzzleloading items. I first looked at a Lyman mould complete with handle and another handle without a mould. prices were thirty dollars on the mould with handles and twenty dollars for the Lyman mould handle with no mould. Looked at the mould and it was a 45 cal maxi ball mould. Offered twenty for the package and it was accepted. Then spotted a Lyman peep site for the T/C and other muzzleloader rifles, and asked the price; man said "would you pay $5.00?" Money quickly changed hands and it went into my bag (been thinking about buyin' a new one at about $90.00 retail, but hadn't pulled the trigger on one because of the amount).
It started raining more heavily and went inside and found a knife dealer with all name brand stuff at deep discounts. Picked up a $70.00 browning knife with sheath for $20.00 and looked at a nice Marbles skinner with a retail price of 95.00 (with leather sheath) but even 'though it was priced at $30.00, felt a little guilty about spending any more money that day.
Went and found my wife and sat down with her at a little restaurant and grill inside the flea market. Showed her my treasures and told her about the Marbles and she insisted I go back and get it.
So, all in all, a miserable day turned up some nice deals.
I somehow didn't get the extra Lyman handles in the pic, but here are the majority of the deals.
