The diversity of shoppers and goods is on display at an outdoor antique market, likely in Elkhart, IN. In addition to their table displays, specific items for sale are highlighted through being hoisted above the crowd, including a trunk, an elegantly framed photograph, a chair, and a horn (subsequently honked by its holder). Beyond the resold goods, the camera captures the spirit of community and conviviality among the attendees. The date of production remains unknown, though the film most likely dates to the late 1970s or early ’80s.
