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! - 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.

Vintage EARLY AMERICAN CAST IRON DOLL FURNITURE SET Box - eBay (item 310012227041 end time Jan-09-08 19:01:01 PST)
Do you like doll house furniture?
This Early American Cast Iron Furniture Set is still in the original box marked, "Made in Taiwan Republic of China." It includes four pieces. There's a couch or sofa or love seat and a chair and a footstool, all with a tufted look and sweet details. See the heart shape openings in the back of the couch and chair?
There's also a table with an ornate leg and base. The table top isn't level. The photo showing the side view shows the wonky tilt.
I'm charmed by the way the couch and chair parts are held together with a nail through a tab and slot deal in the center back. The center of the table top sports a flat screw head.
The original box is in deplorable condition. The lid is torn and stained, one side is torn halfway down, and the couch feet are sticking out the bottom of the box. One side has handwritten, "Furniture Set Meg" and another side says, "3928."

Vintage IMMEC 22-P FISHING REEL Deep Sea Big Game, Line - eBay (item 310011849938 end time Jan-07-08 20:35:24 PST)Do you like old deep sea fishing reels?
This vintage Immec 22-P fishing reel is marked on the base, "Made in Japan 2902." It looks rather complicated with a button on one side, a lever and that star shape on the other. It has heavy line on it for deep sea fishing.
The dark finish is very nice, no scratches or scrapes. There's minor wear on the metal finish on the crank and the lever.
The long lever controls whether the line feeds or not. The crank clicks when you run it one way and locks when you try to turn it the other way. I don't see what the button on the left controls, but I bet you do.
