Vintage GOOD-ALL FISHING REEL Model 10 in Orig Bag, Box - (eBay item 290182184834 end time Nov-22-07 19:47:45 PST)

This vintage Good-All Universal Spinning Type Reel comes complete with a red Good-All flannel bag, instruction sheet and original box, plus two tiny lead sinkers.

The screw on the crank needs frequent tightening. The info sheet says it's Model #17, but I believe the box which says it's Model #10 (Standard). The bottom of the box says, "G165."

Vintage IDEAL WIRE STRIPPER 22 20 18 16 14 Gauge Blade! - (eBay item 290182077646 end time Nov-22-07 19:00:00 PST)

Vintage IDEAL WIRE STRIPPER 22 20 18 16 14 Gauge Blade! - (eBay item 290182077646 end time Nov-22-07 19:00:00 PST)

This old tool confused me at first, so I took a million photos. It's an Ideal wire stripper. The handles are marked, "Ideal, Sycamore, Illinois, Patent Pending."

The photos provide an instruction course in how to use the thing--good if you've never spied a pair, boring if you knew what this tool was on sight.

The cutting blade is marked, "22, 20, 18, 16, 14" above the various size holes, indicating where to place your gauge of wire you're stripping. It's great fun to work because a light squeeze closes the gripper and blade, a hard squeeze spreads the jaws apart and letting go closes it up with a big clack!

Too much information for guys in the know, but I'm a girl, so there.

Moving Plastic HULA DANCING DOLL Action Gal Statuette! - (eBay item 290182035917 end time Nov-22-07 18:30:00 PST)

This cute barefoot Hawaiian woman is plastic with black-paint hair, a yellow-paint bra, a chenille lei and a braid fringe "grass" skirt.

I love her expression and graceful arms, but best of all she does the hula. She dances because there's a spring under her skirt. She's about 6 1/2" high.

Vintage WOODEN BUTTER MOLD Plain 1 Pound Block Churned! - (eBay item 290181837835 end time Nov-21-07 21:04:30 PST)

This wooden butter mold has lots of character. It looks like it turned many a fresh-churned batch of butter into one-pound blocks. Some of the dovetail joints have swollen a bit out of place, but it's still sturdy. The pusher moves easily.
