60 mph Winds Rip Through the Historical Georgetown Flea Market

Porcelain hand glove molds size 7 1/2

Another extremely hot day that turned out to be the calm before the storm. Notice the Italian Venini handkerchief vase on the glass table. Notice all the standing tents.

Set of 6 Italian chairs

No clue about the disaster that's coming

Bronze Art Deco panels - both heavy and sharp.

Primitive circus wagons with Steiff monkeys

50's fiberglass planters

German book collection from the 60's

Never to young to shop and appreciate the treasures found

Less than 5 minutes between this table shot and the coming winds

It was all a blur

Everyone received damage

That same glass and lucite table with the Venini vase

Only remnants of most tents remained

Much was destroyed for the dealers but everyone survived and will return with new goods next week. And to answer your questions about that Venini vase...

The Venini was not broken. Another peace of history has survived.
