related Labor Day antique meet finds

[Attila Bethlenfalvy]

Massive biannual antique flea market, city wide that draws thousands of vendors. Highlights seen included:

Dodge embalming bottles. Nothing I didn't already have - and in better shape.

3-3.5" diameter glass domes. No idea on application, boat maybe and not emergency lighting?

Wooden funeral thermometer, larger than porcelain versions, $85.

Federal 17, 2 beam, plastic dome.

Claimed horse drawn hearse lamps.

Smaller tin ambulance, 1/32 scale or so.

Beaten up for $40. Small portion of a full size (1:1 scale) foam salesman sample vault seen behind was a reasonable $200.

Should've bought Barnabas' coach for $25...went back later and it had sold.

About 48" and vintage, best guess would be '50s-'60s. No hinges and no liner for $300.

Larger 1/18 scale tin ambulance.

Sireno Model 20, 12v combined light/siren for $400.

Probably best item found was this Federal 175 4 beam w/ a clear glass dome. Not the best price though - $300.
