This is a rare item... Not mine, was on e bay.. But just to expensive...






There is more ...

In addition to the series with the atomium, there is also a series with important buildings in Brussels. I am very happy that I can add two items of that series to my collection. 

at first sight....

at first sight thise two spoons look the same.... Have a look at the back side!!! 
The secund is from the later production


Brother and sister

Some time ago, i didn't buy a expo58 clock on e bay because it was so expensive... Now I got two for less than the expensive one on e bay, and you know what : the one whit the Zodiac symbols is like the one on e bay.... 
So sometimes it's good to have a budget .... 

New book!!! Nice

Everyone knows the red books (8 in Total) with a star on the Side that shows you what nr it is... 1 star nr 1 and so on. 

I knew there was a bigger book ( nr 9) with 100 drawings but it's hard to find. The book is  42 cm / 51cm , big. Well I don't have to look no more! 






Nr 2!!

After long time of looking for the second color, I have the second one! 

When collectors meet

Today I met an other expo58 collector
As we had some dubbel stuff, it was swap time!!! 
Everyone happy! 
Thanks Wiliam
Nice 10" lp ... Bekueve me , it's not about the music this time


A nice calendar for the year 1959 but purchased at the world fair in 1958


Summer flea market


It's not easy for my to still find some stuff from the world fair.. But I did it again!! 




Nice swap...

someone had this tea pot  and didnt want it no more, I had some old comic books that I had no use for anymore.... 
two people happy!!! 

Rock around the clock

I waited long before I bought this item on e bay... But it is a nice one!!! Sooooooo happy 


Small stuff

This free day , national day off... I found some small stuff at the flea market. Small but not less nice! The golden coin is a real find, the spoon I got allready but is always nice to do some old Indian trade with. 

Pocket knife

Wat a nice one! And in super nice condition...
Loving it!!
Will I use it? Maybe ... Is it legal?
I make it legal .....






Summer flea market season has started

It was a blast... We needed a day to finish the open air flea market at rhe 1st of may. And we found some nice stuff! 


An ashtray from the expo58

A plan from expo 58


And a nice plant stand for in our kitchen



Still not all of them

There are 4 different abonement cards from the world fair 1958
Still looking for one! 

So nice to still have something to look out for....




Let's go on a trip


What a nice idea!! Let's go on that trip!!! Back in 1958 
it's rare to find a document of this kind, people threw it away after reading it.
It was simply not of any use to them anymore... 

Beer !!!

A nice found at the flea market, a beer glass from the beer Simba. 
I knew it was out there... But now I own it. Thanks to the book written by Francois Van Kerckhoven, I knew that this glass was an expo find. A good book for a expo 58 lover.
first and second picture are the book cover and the info out of the book.
last picture is the glass I found at the market




Paper clip

Just one of those nice things from the world fair. Like many ferms Barro made some nice items to show everyone they were at the world fair 1958
probably you found one  on each office desk, but for me it was a first that I saw it
