“Let the adventure begin, eh, Chuck?” asks Peppermint Patty, as the gang waits for the bus headed to camp.

“ ‘Adventure’ might be a strong word,” Charlie Brown responds. “But I am looking forward to a fun, character-building experience…”

“You can really suck the fun out of a road trip, can’t you, Chuck?” Peppermint Patty scowls.

By the next frame, the kids are on their way and Snoopy is left alone, on the top of his doghouse, dreaming of Charlie Brown’s return.

Iris Scott is delighted by one of her latest vintage finds: a small box, burnished silver on the outside, and lined with cedar. The bottom of the box reads: “Continental New York, Silver Plated, Made in Occupied Japan.” The post-WWII occupation of Japan lasted from 1945-1952, with goods flowing from the Land of the Rising Sun to the United States in greater numbers than ever before. The box will be on display between several Charlie Brown books and vintage comic books in Scott’s Starbuck Vintage & Artisan Market booth.

“I’ll have a little bit of everything,” Scott says. A Singer sewing machine, circa 1930s. An antique Firestone radio with the manual and old call letters intact. A service for eight from the Johnson Brothers’ “The Friendly Village” line of dishes introduced in 1952. A crank telephone painted a cream color, with a cotton-braided cord.

Scott and her late husband Floyd were lifetime collectors, having inherited several pieces from near relations. “We’ve been collecting treasure for about three generations,” Scott says. “Some pieces are ones my husband and I collected, some from his parents and grandparents, and a few pieces collected by my aunts and uncles.” Come rediscover the Thornton Burgess series, a sauerkraut cutter, crocheted doilies, or toy horses from the 1930s. You might just leave with a piece of history to love.
