Waiting to “Rush” May’s field 9\/5\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I love Brimfield, \u00a0I’m sure it’s heyday was 20 years ago but where else are you going to find a sea of humanity trading antiques in such a manner. \u00a0Rich, poor, simple, and sophisticated, in Brimfield knowledge is power, \u00a0the great equalizer . \u00a0 \u00a0 I love the September show, \u00a0sure some say May is bigger, but the combination of weather and timing just combine to really work for me to make September a tradition. \u00a0 This year I took a long time friend for his first time waking at dawn, driving in the dark, \u00a0parking in the grass. \u00a0I knew I was in for an interesting few days when he said to me 3 hours into our 1st day ” I’ve gone 52 years having never used a portages John ” \u00a0I replied ” well we’ve got 4 more hours to go, I think your streak ends today” good times were had!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
condition issues<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Now, I do collect many more things than globes, \u00a0I just happen to be much more passionate about globes than anything else, but I also like old medical items, antique coin operated trade stimulators, and old trade signs, \u00a0so Brimfield is my chance to look for anything I might find interesting to add to my collection. \u00a0Some of my best scores, and biggest mistakes have been made in the heat of the moment here. \u00a0 One thing I never seem to find is a great globe, \u00a0it seems either the condition is not right, or the price is not right, or something.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here are a few examples of what I run into, \u00a0this first globe is an 8 inch Hammond’s globe, that had major condition issues, \u00a0the price was quoted as $375, \u00a0the dealer extolled the virtues of the beautiful stand, but he failed to understand that the value lies in having a crisp pristine map.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
mystery prices<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This group looked promising from a distance, \u00a0I was inspecting the globes and right a way the condition was lacking, \u00a0I was curious about prices, but here we had a dealer with no price tags, \u00a0I see this a lot at shows like this, \u00a0unpriced merchandise . \u00a0 I as a customer just don’t understand this. \u00a0It would save me a lot of time and save the dealer a lot of time if the items were priced. \u00a0the 12 inch globe was $300, \u00a0the floor globe $500, \u00a0however the floor globe was beyond help with water damage, I was perplexed as to how $500 could be the price? \u00a0I inquired, \u00a0I then learned that this particular globe had a provenance, \u00a0it had come out of some risky dink college library that NOBODY has ever heard of…….OH OK…. mystery solved, \u00a0I hope he like loading and unloading this thing at 10 shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Replogle clock globe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Perhaps I have unrealistic expectations, \u00a0maybe I’m the customer from hell. \u00a0I hope not, \u00a0I’m willing to pay for knowledge, and quality, and condition. \u00a0I just hate to fritter away money on junk. \u00a0 To the left ( captioned Replogle clock globe) I found a very nice example of a Replogle World time globe. \u00a0It was priced very reasonably at $175 and I’m sure it did not last, \u00a0the clock was demonstrated as working and the orb was very nice! \u00a0 I didn’t buy it because it’s not really what I like to collect but I know somebody got a nice addition to their collection with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Rand McNally 18 inch globe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Here Is another globe that Is really rare in any form, an 18 inch table globe by Rand McNally from the 1890’s. \u00a0 Table globes of this vintage are hard to find in this colossal 18 inch size, \u00a0 this globe was priced to sell at $200, \u00a0I suspect there was even wiggle room there. \u00a0 It needed some TLC to be great, \u00a0including new shellac , because someone had stripped it, \u00a0and some minor crack repair. \u00a0 I thought long and hard about this one because I’m just not the collector for this globe, but for the right person this could be a winner. \u00a0I chatted with the dealer, \u00a0seems it was a recent estate find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A whole globe collection!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This collection of objects were interesting, \u00a02 Trippensee planetariums, and a lovely 8 inch Kittenger table globe, \u00a0the black painted Trippensee was the EXACT planetarium I saw from this dealer last year this thing has seen Brimfield possibly 4 times and has not sold. \u00a0Probably because the prices are up in the heavens. \u00a0 Last year was one overpriced globe, \u00a0now there are 3 overpriced items sitting in a pasture in Massechesutes ( not Madison ave) as the pricing might suggest. \u00a0 I was interested in the Kittinger, \u00a0but the price was so far from reality I felt as if \u00a0I couldn’t even start negotiating. <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I hope all of my snark is not off-putting especially if this is your first brush with my blog. \u00a0 \u00a0I seem to become frustrated easily at shows, \u00a0I’m sure dealers are easily frustrated by moronic customers, but such is life. \u00a0 I love Brimfield, and I love the chance if remote in finding something great. \u00a0It’s a yearly ritual. \u00a0It’s awesome!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
