I've been to and talked to the guy in Peabody. He was very helpful.
Been to Salem once, Todd farm a couple of times but later in the day by the time I got there, Lynn once, Londonderry once but since its the closest to me now I'll stop by more. Would like to go to Brimfield at least once but only if I can get there real early and get a parking space. I search CL and ebay for specific things that I'm looking for. Shopgoodwill but the pictures and descriptions can be lacking. But I lucked out a couple times with it. Yard sales have been more miss than hit. I once went to a yard sale were they said they had cast iron, but he was too tired to dig them out of storage for the sale. Said he had been collecting CI for decades. Called once and emailed once without a response.
