The forecast for thunderstorms all day kept most of the vendors away, but there were a few very interesting things today. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of this was at the same seller's spot.  I came home with some stuff, but most of it isn't in these photos.

Crosley engines are cool!

How much did they want for the engine?

It's a WWII fiber-board plate due to the rationing of steel & other metals during wartime. I used to have a few of them when I was a kid, but I must have sold them at some point.
