Does Reno NV Swap Meet still have brass Era Parts?

[Brian S]

Was thinking about attending Reno NV swap meet in August to locate (hopefully) some brass era parts, side lamps, side hand brake /gear shifter, etc. - I have not been to the Reno (Sparks) meet for about 20 years. Just don't want to drive five hours to mostly (or should I say , "all") 50's era, or hot rod items. Has anyone been there in the past few years? If you have parts let me know also...

I believe the swap meet that you attended 20+ years ago was the Harrahs swap meet, which died with Bill Harrah. the current meet is in conjuction with Hot August Nights in Reno, which is not the same animal.<BR> Bill

Thanks Bill, It was " Harrahs" back then. I may hold out until Bakersfield meet, unless I hear some promising news otherwise. - Brian<p>[ 07-20-2001: Message edited by: Brian S ]

Just returned from there...no brass stuff. <BR>If there was, Dan Davis would have bought it all.

Well, I ended up going also....first one in gate Thursday morning! Found one place with some very rough brass Ford lamps (not what I wanted) other than that no luck. Spent the rest of day in Harrah's museum to make trip worthwhile. - B.
