For your grandpa who enjoys antique hunting and flea markets, there are numerous gift ideas that would align with his interests and make his birthday extra special. Consider the following options:

1. Antique Map or Print: Look for an antique map or print from a location that holds sentimental value for your grandpa, such as his hometown or a place he has fond memories of. This thoughtful gift will make a beautiful addition to his collection.

2. Vintage Pocket Watch: A vintage pocket watch is a classic and timeless gift that reflects your grandpa's love for all things antique. Engrave it with a personalized message to add an extra touch of sentimentality.

3. Subscription to an Antique Magazine: Treat your grandpa to a subscription to an antique magazine or publication that focuses on collectibles, vintage items, and antique hunting. He will enjoy reading articles, finding out about upcoming flea markets, and discovering new treasures.

4. Antique Book: If your grandpa has a favorite historical period or author, try finding a rare or antique edition of one of their books. This gift will not only fuel his passion for old things but also provide him with hours of reading pleasure.

5. Vintage Vinyl Record Player: Many flea markets and antique stores sell vintage record players and vinyl records. Surprise your grandpa with a fully functional vintage record player and a few of his favorite albums from his youth.

6. Personalized Antique-style Sign: Create a custom-made antique-style sign that features your grandpa's name or a special phrase related to his hobby. It will be a unique addition to his home decor and an excellent conversation starter.

7. Custom-made Antique-inspired Jewelry: Commission a local jeweler to create a unique piece of antique-inspired jewelry, such as a brooch or cufflinks, that your grandpa can wear proudly as a testament to his love for antiques.

8. Vintage Camera: If your grandpa enjoys photography or has mentioned an interest in it, consider gifting him a vintage film camera. He can enjoy capturing moments with a touch of nostalgia and explore the art of film photography.

9. Antique Restoration Tools: Help your grandpa fully indulge in his favorite hobby by gifting him a set of antique restoration tools. These tools will enable him to restore and repair his antique finds and bring them back to their former glory.

10. Personalized Flea Market Adventure: Plan a special day with your grandpa to visit flea markets and antique stores in an area he hasn't explored yet. The gift of quality time and shared experiences can be just as meaningful as a physical present.

Remember, the key is to tap into your grandpa's passion for antique hunting and flea markets. Whether it's a physical artifact or an experience, a thoughtful gift tailored to his interests will surely bring a smile to his face on his birthday.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
