Sixties Vintage USAF BALSA AIRPLANE KIT New in Package! - (eBay item 310008369932 end time Dec-21-07 19:49:03 PST) This vintage balsa airplane kit is in a plastic sleeve that's never been opened. The plane is marked, "USAF, 25 cents" and has simple graphics and slots for the wings and tail.
The old plane could make a great stocking stuffer for the right person. Judging from the price, it might be a great reminder of childhood days in the sixties.

BOLD COLOR STRIPES CROCHET COVERLET Hand Made Afghan! - (eBay item 310008134485 end time Dec-18-07 21:47:44 PST) This hand-made crochet coverlet has bold colorful stripes with cream chain trim. 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 stitching is solid for maximum warmth and no catching of fingers and toes in crochet holes. 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.
Can you imagine this bit of hand-crocheted warmth in your home? See more photos on eBay.

Stainless BIRTH CERTIFICATE TUBE Engraved Scroll Holder - (eBay item 310008110206 end time Dec-20-07 20:02:16 PST) This stainless steel tube engraved with baby theme designs holds a parchment-type scroll Baby Birth Record. It has room to fill in the baby's birth details and a photograph. The outside of the tube says, "Birth Certificate" and has a banner with room to engrave the baby's name.
Both ends of the tube have a teddy bear design. That same teddy bear appears on the tube itself, along with balloons, a baby block, a stork, a rocking horse and the Birth Certificate banner, with little flowers scattered everywhere.
The metal is satiny smooth. The designs are outlines impressed in the metal and colored black to show up. It opens and closes smoothly with a nice seal feel due to the plastic inner sleeve. There's a hunter green bow near the join.

M&M's SNOWBALL ORNAMENT Red is Santa, Yellow is Rudolph - (eBay item 310007763795 end time Dec-19-07 19:51:51 PST)
This M&M's Snowball Christmas ornament features Red as Santa in his sleigh and Yellow as Rudolph. They're on top of a snowy red ball and have a red cord to hang the ornament. Cute!
The original box says, "Includes a 5.30 oz. bag of 'M&M's'® Chocolate Candies!" and shows how the top lifts off to reveal the candy. But I opened it and the candy is gone. No matter. Fill the snowball up again and again!
The ball itself will sit on a table. It's marked, "CE ©Mars Inc., 'M&M's', 'M' and the M&M's characters are registered trademark of Mars Incorporated. Made in China."

Vintage CLIP-ON SUNGLASSES Engraved Metal Rims, Case! - (eBay item 310006697721 end time Dec-16-07 18:49:01 PST) These vintage clip-on sunglasses have fancy engraved or embossed design around the metal rims that might be brass. There's no design on the bar that connects the lenses. They're flexible and measure four and a half inches wide when straightened out. I see no maker's mark.
The lenses are 39 mm high and 42 mm wide. The nose width is about 2 cm wide when the glasses are straightened out fully. The clips will fit around glasses up to 6 mm thick.
There's a half inch minor scratch in the green (Polarized?) covering on the left lens at the center top. The right lens has several smaller scratches in the middle. I didn't see them until I took a close look for condition.
The case is metal covered with shiny textured black fabric or paper with wine velvet lining. They say, "Kennedy Optical Co., Optical Specialists, Franklin - Oil City - Warren, PA."
