Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2025

[Aragorn243]

Another decent morning. First headed out to the dealers in the lot and didn't find anything I wanted although there were three that had military stuff including one fellow I typically buy from. Went there first because that's where I usually find the good stuff. Not today, it was all in the pavillion. First thing is what seems to be the most common round to be found in the US, a 37mm for $5.





Further down I find an M1A2 US gas mask from WWII, valve dated 1942 and mask dated 1943. Mask is in great condition and even has the lens wipe can with wipe. Guy only wanted $35.00 for it which I couldn't believe, especially in this condition. Usually I'll argue price but I just paid the man.











































Then found this WZ63 Polish Helmet for $20, I did negotiate for this one as it's a fellow I've bought a lot off of over the years. 1978 dated.









And then at the small flea market on the way home I found a US Wood made entrenching shovel. I've had some difficulty finding one of these as it's a rarer manufacturer. Came with an inappropriate early war T-handle cover which I need for a shovel so it was a good matchup for me. This guys a tough negotiator but I got him down $7 to $42 for the pair. I don't usually pay that much for shovels but being the manufacturer and the extra cover I figured it was worth it. The shovel is dated 1944, the cover I'm not sure about but think it's 1942. Can't make out the manufacturer either. I have to do some checking but I think they were still being made and issued that year.
