Elephants Trunk 2022 Flea Market Finds and Regrets.

[@357magdad]

That old Lone Ranger book caught my eye!

[@stevelewis1721]

Please keep the flea markets and shows coming! I'm always looking for serviceable ratchets and quality pocket knives. I'm a sucker for fine glassware also, I get it.

[@TJB1510]

That Lead Glass Vase is Absolutely Beautiful, GREAT FIND

[@chuckmays3857]

Sorry you missed out on the motor tester, but you can't look back. I've found these days more than ever, if you see something you want (need has nothing to do with it) you have to grab it. You may never see one like it available again. Anyway, glad you enjoyed yourself and for sharing with us.

[@805ROADKING]

I knew your regret would be that Sun Tester, that thing was a Jewel!! It's funny that Toaster was Identical to the one we grew up with!! My Mom got it as a wedding gift in 1953 and it was used almost everyday till we put her in Assisted Living in the late 1990's!! The Chrome or Stainless and Bakelite was perfect, I hated to do it but I just threw it in the Gabbige!! I didn't know people collected them!!☻

[@Knifeaddictdillon]

The flea markets around me always have junk nobody wants. It's hard to even find something worth buying that looks like a great place

[@grahamcameron7628]

I love the sound of that file machine. It’s like… therapeutic!

[@papa-hu8lq]

Thanks for the tour. You picked up a few very cool tools, nice job explaining them. Like you, I too keep saying I won't buy any more tools. Thus far, it hasn't worked for me ....lol

[@valsforge4318]

Loved that vase, very nice. And the die filer was a great find! I knew the Sun Master motor tester was going to be the regret, that thing was awesome! Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@smithtown6589]

You are the opium of tool lovers and those who love yesteryear. And, for those of us who can’t help ourselves, you make us feel like we’re not alone. Keep up the good work!

[@stevenpressley5956]

I would be okay with you doing complete episode of just you commentating your flea market adventures more often.. I really enjoy this content also.. never gets old..

[@madamecampsalot6384]

I love going through the flea market with you. I really like the sound of the running file, but my favorite tool is the brake wrench.

[@csurfcaster3654]

Troop 18- Fun hiking with the great ScoutCrafter teacher through the elephant's burial ground.

[@thriftedflip]

Flea markets are the BEST! KEEP THEM COMING!

[@thomasdohrn4689]

The sun tester would of been in back of my jeep so fast. love it. Reminded me when I worked in gas station. Keep flea markets coming.

[@johnfix1]

My radar pinged when you scanned the Sum motor tester and I knew you also liked it and I picked it for the item your regretted.item. My regret is that I was not there to get it. The tools you bought were also terrific.

[@michelecrown2426]

The wrench and brake holding tool are great. I've never seen either of them before. The glass ware is stunning, and the GF's mother is getting a beautiful gift. It's time you moved to a bigger place and one with a huge barn with it. Then you can collect to your hearts content :)

[@alanr4263]

Really sweet.So kewl I liked the eagle Also I liked the Anvil.Good Stuff M.t.A John.

[@roadrageburleson]

That motor tester was amazing. I would have never been able to walk away without it.

[@lordvengerx]

These kind of flea markets are super cool. I don't have stuff like this around me. I really enjoy these types of videos. So much cool and neat stuff.

[@Resto-Scraps]

Awesome! My favorite was the file grinder. And yes on the electric motor tester. I liked the Anvil too.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

I love that die grinder and it sounds just beautiful 🛠👍😊

[@larrydemaar409]

I worked at a gas station/repair garage as a teenager and we used Sun test equipment, always the best.

[@saigaking]

I picked it as soon as I saw it man what a setup fantastic There was some great stuff there I felt like I was there with you It was fantastic I love elephant trunk man one day I will get there You picked some great stuff scout amazing video god bless take care 🇺🇸🗽🙏🇳🇿🦅

[@i8dpie]

I wouldn't have left that flea market without the Airship/Aeroplane identifying poster.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You have excellent taste!!!

[@sarahhardy8649]

Absolutely love that British/German poster at 05:11. It’s fantastic.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Excellent taste Sarah!

[@timeflysintheshop]

The pipe wrench is amazing! I saw the brake pedal tool in the box behind the filing machine and wondered what that was. Now I know! The sun machine was spectacular, but you would really have been hard pressed to fit it anywhere. Though that did not stop me from buying an HO scale model train set on a 4x8 plywood table at the community yard sales this past weekend! A whole train set for only 75 bucks! I could not pass it up. That is the definition of a bargain! Something we don't need at a price we can't resist!

[@garyjones2582]

I flipped out when I saw that Sun machine.. I guess that was probably the medium size, I've seen some larger ones and some much smaller.. I was looking for some traffic lights, but didn't see any.. So many tools, so little time.. Thx for taking us along.. Take care S.C.

[@williambozynski1176]

The flea market in Michigan that I love to go to has nothing on the one you visit. I was amazed at the variety and quality of the items for sale. Thanks again ScoutCrafter for the great video.

[@joelimeco]

The Flea market footage was a lot of fun. A little variety never hurts.

[@countrywandering6163]

Always really enjoy the market/tool show videos...what a variety of stuff . Fantastic 👍

[@paulsworkshop4179]

Ugh! I was hoping you bought that tester. I’ve passed up gems before too. We only have so much room….

[@stephenhenion8304]

We used to play Bluegrass Music with Roger Sprung at the Elephants Trunk..such a great time and Place. Love your videos Scoutcrafter!🎶🎵🎶

[@MrGoosePit]

I love the flea market videos. Wish I had one like that near me. Coincidentally, I was just looking at deviled egg dishes on amazon today as a gift for Mother's day. My wife noticed her's was cracked when she went to use it for Easter dinner. Great video. You got some nice buys ScoutCrater!

[@readysetsleep]

4:40 You didn't talk about the Mighty Little Toaster!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Kent- Funny thing is I use an OLDER toaster everyday! My Grandmother's!

[@jackmacica5407]

Love the brake pedal depressor. I thought I had seen all the garage tools, but never that!

[@tony1721]

I love flea markets and look forward to yours …..that gauge set was awesome, I know what you mean about the space, the devilled eggs glass ware is beautiful…..keep em coming I’m, having to watch your weeks old ones to catch up 😸😸🇬🇧

[@13thworker45]

When I was a kid my brother had two sun machines. One like the one you showed and a distributor machine. I never used them , to young. I loved the flea markets but stopped going because I don’t need anything. It’s hard just to walk around and not buy anything. Here in California we don’t have the quantity of merchandise you have back there. You had fun and it’s safe for me to watch. Thank You

[@philparker1666]

Love these episodes Scoutcrafter, thanks for taking us along, only wish there were comparable shows in the UK. Didn't guess the application. Loved the glass ware, that devilled egg holder was stunning, in the UK that iredescent glass is known as carnival glass, as that was where it was given away as prizes. 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️

[@metalwork.]

another great video....I'm always on the lookout for vintage tools at flea markets and estate sales.. got a Free Atlas table saw this week. .. cleaning up and fine tuning... lots of fun

[@jpsimon206]

Easily the coolest pipe wrench I have ever seen. Damn you! Now I have to track one of these down

[@krishoogstraat6866]

Wow there was some cool stuff at that market! Me favorite is your pipe wrench find with a close second on the Jack. Thanks John !

[@kylekyleson373]

The jeep grill was awesome. That is a cool filer for sure. Much was learned today.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Kyle- There were two grills there this week, one was later Willys and about $400- This one I showed was cheaper.. Nice right!!!!? =D

[@kylekyleson373]

@@ScoutCrafter yes

[@ianstools4929]

Elephants trunk is definitely on the bucket list. Only 8 hours away 😅. Great episode!

[@frankwaters2133]

Thanks again for sharing ! Your videos to exotic places save me so much time and money !!

[@Austeration]

Some nice scores you picked up 👍 I liked the brake pedal jack the best. I can appreciate it's value being an old mechanic my self.

[@zipshed]

The Sun tester is great and I love it! My fav though is the brake depressing tool. Thats true history and Im a car guy. It would make a great wall hanger mounted on a plaque!!!

[@adamperkins4305]

I love every video “i don’t buy tools anymore” then a montage of purchased tools 😂 i relate

[@adude7050]

The filer is quite the score and that vase is lovely. Your girlfriend's mother will love that vase.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hi Scout, that giant shotgun cartridge at 5:42 would have come home with me. The Sun gauges, I feel your pain but it takes up a lot of room so hopefully it went to a collector with the room to display it and not someone that bought just to flip it. I’m telling you we are like brothers from a different mother as we have so much in common. I keep dropping things too so I have learnt the best thing for me to do when I drop something is to forget everything and just watch it like a hawk until it stops. This has saved me from loosing a lot of small parts and it’s amazing how far things can travel. I’ve lost things in the past that didn’t surface again for so long that when I did find them I’ve forgotten what they were for. Yep, you’ve done that to. 😂😂😂. Your not going to believe this but last night I finished a video of a local swap meet I went to recently and today I’m putting some time stamps on it so people can skip ahead. Like I said, so much in common and I promise I’m not copying you even though the format is almost identical. I hope you enjoy watching it. I also spotted something I thought you might like. Cheers brother, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stuart! I love and look forward to all your videos! Looking forward to seeing it! Thanks! 😃👍

[@Traderjoe]

My mom has a red glass deviled eggs tray. I love them too. I could eat a dozen, easy!

[@tomhughes4980]

Great show! I can't imagine what you have be doing without that file machine all your life! 😆

[@lv_woodturner3899]

A good visit as usual. Always a lot of interesting things. The rotary phones reminded me of a local flea market visit a few years ago. A youngster about 10 years old pointed to a rotary phone with a transparent cover so you could see the inner workings and said "Mom, what is that". It made me feel my age. I thought you would pick up one of the lanterns. Dave.

[@lotsabirds]

I knew it would be either the motor tester or the eagle....the creepy doll's head came in a close 3rd. There were a lot of choices. That brake pedal jack is neat. Sure beats a concrete block!

[@bobjoncas2814]

Gotta love flea markets, so much wheelin' and dealin'...have a good one..

[@rickhammar1636]

When I was in high school, '85or '86 the auto shop had one of those sun testers in storage. One day the shop teacher was cleaning stuff out & he threw it in the trash. I still regret not asking for it. I thought it was cool back then & would have jumped at that for a $100. All of the tools you purchased are really cool, I have never seen any of them before.

[@choppermike3329]

Yeah the Sun Motor tester. Figured that was it. Never seen on that old or that large. Back then that was THE diagnostic machine. Shows you how much times have changed. That looked like a Frankenstein machine! Good price too! What a beauty!

[@357magdad]

I bet JohnFix is droolin' over that old pipe wrench!

[@bernhardpasligh1131]

At the end of the 60's, when I learned the profession of a car and truck mechanic in a Mercedes workshop, we also had a SUN engine tester.

[@nicknicoletti9778]

Yeah that sun auto meter is gorgeous. I’d put it in my kitchen as well. Maybe next time!! And honestly my favorite item you picked up is the deviled egg glass server. That green is beautiful! I can eat 100 deviled eggs in one sitting no problem!! Love them

[@mikecurtis2585]

Very nice always fun 😊

[@patjohnson3100]

I thought your regret would be passing up some of those cool lanterns or the die filer. I have never seen one before, or the rare wrench or auto brake device. I dont blame you one bit for missing out on the Sun tester. Even if it is completely inoperative it was a steal and would look great in a man cave. If I was single, I would put it in my living room. Its cosmetics are great. It would be fun to go to this flea market but I'm too far away. Your flea market trips are fun. You have a great eye for cool stuff.

[@BenButler1]

That deviled egg platter was great bit too small for the egg eaters in my family. Need a couple more

[@ScoutCrafter]

They are so good aren't they! =D

[@PapiDoesIt]

I briefly saw a child's white stove! My aunts had one when they were little and my grandmother kept it. I wanted to play with it when I was about 5 years old and she plugged it in, and it worked! It really would get hot enough to cook a few things. And I did.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That stove was awesome!!!!!! Candy apple red handles!!!!!

[@ciprian1919]

2:43!!! I need one of those masive shiny things in my life!

[@AaronBelknap]

I'm like you, no room for stuff, especially a thing like that. It was awesome to see! We have one in our shop and I may try to talk the owner out of it! I really like that brake lever!

[@kadmaster]

I know you,sir and I imagine that how you want that motor tester...I love grinder and fair price...

[@scottstoolthoughts3190]

The green egg tray is beautiful! My wife has the exact same one, only in red.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Always enjoy you doing these type videos... the way you video it is like I am there... the batman would had come home with me as well as the lone ranger book 😊 and most likely a bunch of stuff.. the hand crank brake setter is cool.. ever seen one of those or even new there was such an animal.. make sense though.. great stuff Mr. John! Enjoyed!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Vic- Imagine all of us walking around one of these shows! What fun we would have!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

@@ScoutCrafter I'm looking forward to it! Bucket list item for me😊👍

[@Resto-Rob]

Everything was fantastic! If you don't have the room it is good to move on. The fact you could share the video is cool. The pipe wrench is awesome!

[@crr8297]

I guessed the Sun tester but I wouldn't have room for it either, however, I'm still regretting you not buying that vintage Christmas tree stand with the lights on it, that was cool

[@ScoutCrafter]

I have a couple antique Christmas tree stands but nothing with sockets! Water and electricity- What a blast!

[@not2fast4u2c]

I would have knocked you down to get to that Die Filing Machine What a neat tool to have I could spend hours filing small parts

[@ScoutCrafter]

Jim- The guy said he had 2 that day and the bigger one sold first before I got there... =D

[@MrJruta]

Ah that Lionel transformer in the box! 👍

[@TomGunnTools]

Love that motorized file! That is my favorite!

[@richardross7219]

Zagray is this weekend but, the weather is questionable. That vase is beautiful. Good Luck, Rick

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rick- So far I am going... I know it is calling for rain but I made the mistake of not going twice because of rain threat and it didn't.. I already told my GF to dress accordingly! LOL PONCHO!

[@richardross7219]

@@ScoutCrafter I love ponchos. I've still got the one from 1962 when I joined Boyscouts. The two that I brought back from the Army disintegrated. Hopefully, I'll see you there. Good Luck, Rick

[@judithwolfmandell3782]

We had that SUN motor tester in my dad's garage(TEXACO)in the 40's and50's.Don't know what became of it. Loved the bobsled. Allan

[@stuartkynoch7289]

At 2:41 cool old Supertest gas pump globe. Supertest gas stations were once very common across Canada.

[@joemoach832]

Love the flea market videos. That Sun tester is awesome for 100 bucks. The brake depressor is a real piece of history. I used to live up near Peekskill and can imagine it being used back in the day.

[@planejet42]

Great finds. That automatic filer is very cool.

[@edwardmartin3069]

My wife is a die-hard vintage glass collector...she loved seeing this deviled egg platter... It was made by the Indiana Glass company at the end of the 1950s. The pattern is called: "Hobnail"... These platters are usually found in CRYSTAL (that's "clear-glass" to the rest of us), AMBER, GREEN, and RED. The red and green colors are the rarest so you got a real find....

[@ScoutCrafter]

Edward thanks so much for the info! 😃👍

[@alansmith4734]

10:14 Not just Deviled Eggs, but try Pickled* Eggs. Put a Salt & Pepper Shaker in the middle of the tray. Hard Boiled Egg marinated in Beet Juice & Onions. The inside of the egg pretty much turns purple. They are so good! Om Nom Nom! 14:57 Could you use that as a Scroll Saw, for delicate scroll work?

[@tonylenge424]

Believe it or not, my favorite is the green devil egg platter!🐣. My wife makes great deviled eggs. What a great flea market, thanks for sharing.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tony... I used to sneak in the kitchen when my Grandmother was cooking and I would see a plate with Deviled eggs and I would POP one in my mouth... No biting just POP... Smiling like a fat rat in a cheese factory... =D

[@BrianRust89]

That die filer is awesome!! I have wanted a bench top model just like that for years!! Very cool man!! Great find. Great price too!!

[@wayneo7307]

Hi Scout , I liked Quite A Bit of Things There. Room Room Room ! I know . I've learned to buy it if I've Got the Room and Money . Because You Will Regret Some Stuff.

[@stephenkent8903]

I love that brake pedal compressor! That reminds me of a jack so much. If I ever found one of those I would get one to show to mechanics that I know. They wouldn't have a clue about what it would be!!! Hahahahaha

[@jpsimon206]

The die filer at 7:25 looks very much like the kits offered by Peterson products, Mr Pete's educational castings company that he owned with his brother. He did a video maybe a year ago where a contemporary high School teacher had found some of his products in an old storage closet. It may very well be the most animated I have ever seen Mr Pete! I don't know how to get in contact with him, but I believe he would be strangely thrilled to see this if I happen to be right and it is one of his.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I know Lyle- I have to look at his design again to see if it may be his!!! 😃👍

[@wireworks616]

Great video. I would have picked the Sun Motor Tester myself. Really liked the file grinder is

[@davidspinney2664]

Hi Scoutcrafter that jack would have been good if you were doing brake jobs you could depress the brakes while you released the bleeder screw on the caliper by yourself. Don't feel bad about the garage tester big things like that are always in the way and you regret bringing it home unless you are going to flip it for a profit.

[@tooladdict7463]

Fantastic John really love the wrench for 25 what a bargain

[@LoStivale]

I really enjoy these types of videos. Very cool stuff.

[@wayneblubaugh2122]

At 2:45 there is a dummy bomb, and I knew you wanted one from the tool place here in Denver...but you didn't seem to check it out. It looks very similar to those here, but different paint. Anyway, always fun to see your flea markets. Wayne out West

[@ScoutCrafter]

Good eyes Wayne! That dealer isn't known for his low prices if you know what I mean... LOL

[@ericmcconnell3238]

Went to a flea market and some guy had 6 or 7 of those round metal green outdoor light covers with the white porcelain inside that you would see on old gas stations. He wanted $20 for each one. I passed and they kept nagging at me, so I went back and they were all sold. Crappy ones go for around $90 on EBay. Kicking myself in the butt for that one. I spotted those electric dial/meters when you were walking through. I love any old electric stuff - especially if it has dials. I had to laugh when you did the post flea market review and said how that one grabbed you and you had to go back - it caught my eye too. I felt your pain when it was already gone!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Those vintage porcelain Green/white lamp fixtures are out of control! Everybody likes them and the originals are big money. Good news they are making them again new... However I doubt they will last 50 years!

[@jacobb.]

Awesome stuff. My 100 pound niece will eat 100 deviled eggs if they are in front of her lol. Those glass wares were nice. I would've gotten the silver airplane prop. Same no room sickness at my house! Cheers Scout.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Jacob! The prop was awesome but that seller has eBay prices... =D

[@jacobb.]

@@ScoutCrafter too much American picker TV shows. Cheers sir

[@kevinbreckenridge6729]

Love the brake tool. I had to make something to hold the clutch down on our trucks when adjusting. That thing would work great!

[@GuntersGarage]

We had that Sun Machine in school. We didnt use that one much but we had two newer versions that we were also taught on and used regularly.

[@jeffsalt2080]

I saw a few oil lamps that I thought would have followed you home.

This video was so great.keep them coming Thanks

[@CarnivoreRonin]

That was a super fun video, thanks! I love the flea market ones.

[@patcb829]

Ok my guess was the brass caboose light? with the red lens that was made into a lamp at 4:05 The sun engine analyzer sure was in great shape.

[@barryfarnsworth3360]

Loved the video.
