from the landscape. The show on the Lebanon Green offers a bit of
nostalgia for everyone. Now in its 54th year, the Lebanon Historical
Society’s Outdoor Antique Show is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday,
September 25th, 2021.
Up to 60 dealers will offer antiques and high-quality collectibles to
buyers who come from around the state and throughout southern New
England. The event started in 1966 as a money-making effort to fund
Society programs and, eventually, to help pay for the land needed to
build a Museum. Today, the Antique Show is still the Historical
Society’s largest and most important fund raising event with proceeds
supporting school programs, exhibits and historical presentations.
Some dealers have been participating for many years, but new-to-
the-field dealers are added every year. Visitors can expect to find
everything from 18th century furniture to vintage tools and from
traditional pottery to textiles, glassware and jewelry.
For the $5 admission fee visitors can spend the day wandering the
field, talking with dealers and finding a bargain. Lunch and snacks are
available for purchase all day including home-made chowders,
sandwiches as well as grilled burgers and dogs. End it all with a slice of
home-made pie!
Held rain or shine. Parking is free and there is no better way to enjoy
a fall day! For more information contact the Lebanon Historical Society
Museum at 860-642-6579, museum@historyoflebanon.org, or visit us
on the web at www.historyoflebanon.org.
$24,000. Mr. Bruneau called it “the finest copy of
Avengers #1 we’ve handled to date.”
Not far behind was the copy of Marvel Comics
Amazing Spider-Man #14 (July 1964), graded CGC 9.0
and having a pre-sale estimate of $10,000-$15,000. The
comic book featured the very first appearance of the
Green Goblin, as well as the first meeting of the Hulk and
Spider-Man. Like with Avengers #1, Mr. Bruneau called it
the finest example of ASM #14 he’s ever handled.
On to Pokémon, and the ever-popular world of TCG.
The Wizards of the Coast Pokémon Gym Challenge 1st edi-
tion factory sealed booster box from 2000, a true Holy
Grail item for Pokémon/TCG collectors, was a big hit
with collectors.
