Golden Years show in Wieze, 2011 edition

After not having visited this Golden Years show the previous years, we finally decided to go to this years edition on March 26-27. The show is held at the Oktoberhallen in Wieze. As it'll be the only show held in Belgium this year, we just had to be there..
Here's an overview of what was available at the show. Not a lot of pinball machines, but many interesting collectibles.

There really were a lot of different things for sale. Neons and jukeboxen. Some pinball machines. Many records to fill your jukebox. Advertising signs and statues. Coca-Cola collectibles. New and vintage toys. Just too much.. we even found some interesting things to expand our Expo 1958 collection so we went home happy.
