BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016 - DAY ONE : THE EDGE OF WETNESS

On Wednesday at Brimfield, the opening day for those of us in Hertan's Field, stubborn remnants of Hermine took us to the "Edge Of Wetness", as we saw off-and-on spitting drizzle until mid-afternoon, when sun and blue skies finally warmed the fields. The slightly moist weather did not seem to deter the shoppers from coming out, thankfully, and so we were able to have a decent day of sales even with subpar traipsing conditions. 

Thursday is supposed to be a really nice day, and we WILL be offering ephemera, paintings, and prints when we open for business at around 8am in Space 36 of Hertan's Field... unless there is an unexpected sequel to the classic Johnny Carson soap... 

WHERE TO FIND US - BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016

We are excited to once again be located in the FRONT ROW, SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field for this September's Brimfield Antique Shows. (click on the link for a map of the field.) Hertan's opens at NOON SHARP on Wednesday, September 7th, and we will be there every day from about 8am until 4pm, right through the end of the show on Sunday, September 11th. We will have tons of advertising, including tin, metal, and porcelain signs, bar mirrors, tobacco tins, metal and wooden crates and boxes, and country store artifacts, along with Brimfield's best selection of milk glass, petroliana, automobilia, home furnishings, several old typewriters, numerous mirrors, and our first-ever ephemera section (weather permitting), featuring WWI and WW2 posters, fine art and paintings, maps, and lots of framed posters and prints. Look below for several sneak previews of what we'll be bringing!

BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016 SNEAK PREVIEWS - FINE ART AND FRAMED PRINTS

This September, starting just one week from today, we are bringing fine art and framed prints to Brimfield for the first time. You'll find our tent in Space 36 in the front row of Hertan's Field, just steps from Route 20. We'll be there from noon on Wednesday September 7th right through that Sunday afternoon. Please note that we will not be displaying paintings nor ephemera on days when there is rain in the forecast (better safe than sorry).  

This beautiful winter scene is an oil-on-board by noted Kennebunkport artist Ron Goyette. 

BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016 SNEAK PREVIEWS - ADVERTISING CRATES AND BOXES

We'll have an extensive selection of advertising boxes and crates available when Hertan's Field opens on Wednesday, September 9th at noon. From milk to soda, fish to fruit, biscuits to spices, and wood to metal, there's bound to be something you have never seen before. Find us in Hertan's FRONT ROW, in our white tent in Space 36, every day from Wednesday right through Sunday!

BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016 SNEAK PREVIEWS - WAR POSTERS AND EPHEMERA

This September marks the very first time we will be bringing ephemera and fine art to our front row location in Space 36 of Hertan's Field. I'll have pictures of some of the paintings and prints we'll be offering coming soon, but today's sneak preview is of several of the fine World War I and World War II posters we'll be offering starting Wednesday, September 7th at noon. We will also have some old maps and various other paper items available for sale, weather permitting. All of the below are protected in hard plastic top-loaders, making them easy to inspect and transport safely.

This classic "Christy Girl" is one of the most popular and valuable posters from World War I.

This Victory Garden poster is one our favorites from World War II and was folded away for many years so the colors are very sharp. 

This is the smaller version, fantastic condition, we also have the larger one available. 

We're not quite sure when this very uncommon bonds poster was made, we believe it is from the late 30's, just before the U.S. got involved in World War II.

BRIMFIELD SEPTEMBER 2016 SNEAK PREVIEWS - ADVERTISING SIGNS

We sold a TREMENDOUS amount of advertising during the spring Brimfield shows, and we'll have a terrific selection of signs, boxes, tins, and everything else advertising-related when Hertan's Field opens on Wednesday, September 7th at Noon. Here's a little "sneak preview" of some of the great signs we'll be bringing this time around!

 This amazing porcelain Firestone sign dates from the 1930's 

and is FIVE FEET wide and 30 inches high!

This Wolf's Head sign is from 1970 and is double-sided.
