Friday was packed from the start, dealers were moving material early, and by Saturday morning Matt was already back at the van digging through the pile of things that he’s taking back home.\nMatt pulls out a few of the buys from Fishersville and talks through them while the show is still happening around him: carved walking sticks, tramp art, Clyde Herman carvings, a dancing figure, a whirligig that nearly flies apart in the wind, and one folk art cane that immediately turns into a full blown appraisal session.\nThere is also an ongoing challenge throughout the episode to find somebody at Fishersville who actually knows who Benny Carter is. Matt signs a copy of the Benny Carter book in the van and walks the show trying to give it away to the right person.\nThis is only part of the Fishersville trip. We still have more videos coming from the field, including a full day of buying around the show with Amanda’s Mercantile.\nAfter Fishersville, everything heads back to the auction house alongside the Liberty finds. The plan now is to unload it all, photograph everything, and start getting pieces ready for upcoming auctions at Ledbetter Folk Art Auctions.\nChapters\n00:00 | Back at Fishersville Antique Expo00:20 | Friday Was a Madhouse00:55 | Signing the Benny Carter Book02:04 | The Nude Grandma Whirligig03:01 | Clyde Herman Carvings and Walking Sticks04:09 | The Five Dollar Owl05:00 | The Best Cane at Fishersville08:05 | Learning to Buy Tramp Art11:02 | Non Buyer’s Remorse13:21 | Breaking Down the Dancing Figure16:05 | Looking for Someone Who Knows Benny Carter17:37 | The Folk Art Reading Lamp17:49 | Walking the Show with the Whirligig18:56 | Does nobody Know Benny Carter??23:27 | Giving the Book Away and Signing Off\nDo you know a folk artist or have a picking story worth sharing?
