FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE CROCHET COVERLET Hand Made Afghan!

FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE CROCHET COVERLET Hand Made Afghan! - eBay (item 310012482207 end time Jan-08-08 18:59:07 PST)

This hand-made crochet coverlet has bold multi-color granny squares with 3-D flowers in the centers. It's 100% polyester yarn made by my friend who crochets about 60 mph. She usually makes coverlets from whatever yarn colors she has on hand. This blanket, large afghan or throw or lap robe is shown on a single bed.

This one has a dainty picot edging in cream. The flowers stand up about an inch above the surface, giving the coverlet lots of texture. It's a sweet, homey item to warm up your decor and snuggle up in for a nap or TV watching.

This coverlet is made of polyester worsted-weight yarn and is machine washable. You can feel extra warm knowing half of the proceeds from this auction goes to Doctors Without Borders.

Vintage Kokak BROWNIE REFLEX SYNCHRO MODEL Box Camera!

Vintage Kokak BROWNIE REFLEX SYNCHRO MODEL Box Camera! - eBay (item 310012468737 end time Jan-10-08 17:53:51 PST)

Do you like old box cameras?

This vintage box camera is marked, "Brownie Reflex Synchro Model, Made in U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y." The film cartridge says, "Use Kodak Film No. 127. Pats. U.S.A. Des. 119931, 2,206,211, 2,245,257, 2,252,688, 2,292,217, 2,292,218, T.M. Reg. U.S. Pat. Off."

The top opens to reveal a large view finder. To load the camera with film, turn the lever on the back from Lock to Open and pull off the camera bottom. The shutter button is the gray one at the bottom front, to the right of the flash connection. There's a tripod mount on the bottom.

The shutter works. The viewfinder and view lens have dirt and dust inside. The camera can use a good detail cleaning on the outside as well. The black braided neck cord is still strong and shows wear.
