1982 E.T. Extra-Terrestrial LUNCH BOX, THERMOS Aladdin!

1982 E.T. Extra-Terrestrial LUNCH BOX, THERMOS Aladdin! - eBay (item 310116991509 end time Feb-18-09 18:09:44 PST)

This E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial lunch box and thermos is an embossed and colorful tin litho lunch kit with a plastic thermos. It's marked, "©1982 Universal City Studios, Inc. All right reserved. Aladdin Industries, Incorporated, Nashville, Tenn. 37210 U.S.A."

Some kid used it a lot. There's a butterfly sticker on one corner and loss of finish on many high spots and all around the corners and edges. Inside the lid there's some rust in the edge bends. The handle could use a detailed cleaning. The thermos is in very good condition.

Vintage Ferris Wheel PHOTO TREE Display Stand 6 Frames!

Vintage Ferris Wheel PHOTO TREE Display Stand 6 Frames! - eBay (item 310116504953 end time Jan-20-09 18:18:20 PST)

This vintage wood and metal photo tree turns like a Ferris wheel to keep your photos upright for viewing one by one. The six polished wood frames can hold photos front and back. Just slide them in one side. Collect and display your favorite snapshots in great style. I see no maker's mark.

The photo tree stand is in very good condition with slight marks here and there on the wooden frames. One has a repaired corner chip you have to look close to see. The metal has a nickel finish. The wood has a reddish cast.

If you have more than twelve favorite photos, no problem. Each wooden frame will hold up to 1/4" thickness, so you can easily slide many photos into each and swap out which ones you want to display.
