Lots of nautical antiques, beautiful outdoor wire baskets, trellis, etc. Got a few lobster buoys. They even had 2 cool vintage real fire hydrants (around $200) which would be neat if you had a dog run.

I love the Hobby Horse slogan posted on their website: "Always a great selection of moose antlers"…read moreand with that you know for sure, Toto, you're not in Kansas anymore but firmly grounded in a Maine experience. One of the gazillion things we love about Maine is the sheer number of flea markets that you run into while driving about during the spring, summer and early fall months. Hobby Horse was not the best we've been to nor the largest but we still enjoyed stopping by. There was a mixture of some antiques and interesting Maine arcana, a bit of sad junk and unfortunately some reproductions. Flea markets, like antique shops are often windows into the past of a particular community. I find this kind of "treasure" hunting irresistible. Prices were generally fair but remember, if you're polite you can always respectfully ask: "What's your best price?". You never want to insult the seller but sadly I've seen it done. You still have a little time to check this place out before it closes for the season in mid-October. It will re-open after that at the end of April. I find the sellers at most flea markets to be an interesting group of people and Hobby Horse was no exception to this. The sellers love to talk about collecting and about their wares and how they may have come by them. It makes for a fun time with an opportunity to learn a thing or two. Be a little wary though because sometimes the provenance stories of the items for sale are a little too good to be true. Nothing special jumped out at us during our visit so we didn't buy anything. We still had fun rummaging about. It's certainly worth a stop if you're driving up Route 1. You never know what creative decorating ideas you might come up with for a rack of moose antlers.

They run a variety of auctions throughout the year from high end to the dude next door variety. There is something for everyone. They make it easy to bid online if you cannot be present. Shipping costs are reasonable and auction costs are in line with industry standards. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It is a must to drop by and peak at the next group of auction items when in the Thomaston area. Their marketing campaigns are clever and epic as well. I have giggled aloud a few times when reading the emails.
