2 Strings of BRASS BELLS From India, 4 Sarna, 4 Small! - eBay (item 310063231383 end time Jul-04-08 18:39:23 PDT)These two strings of bells came from India. The four different-size bells are carved and marked in order from large to small, "Bells of Sarna, India 157 - 3; Reg. U.S. 157 - 2; SS Sarna Inc. India; Giod Pul (I think)." The four same-size bells have a simpler design of lines around them and are marked on the outside, "India."
The different-size bells make a lovely series of tones, deep to high. The same-size bells all make a nice bright tinkle. Surely you can come up with far more decorative strings, cords or leather lacing to enhance their beauty.

Vintage BLADE RUNNER PORTFOLIO 12 Movie Photos, Folder! - eBay (item 310062762150 end time Jul-02-08 19:58:05 PDT)
This vintage Blade Runner Portfolio is marked, "Harrison Ford is... Blade Runner. The Motion Picture Portfolio. Twelve Dazzling Full-Color Moments From the Blockbuster Film!" It was produced in 1982 by The Ladd Company.
The film starred Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah and was directed by Ridley Scott.
The back cover shows thumbnail versions of the photos inside. Remember Rachael, Deckard, Pris, Roy Batty, Leon and Gaff? They're all here in the form of twelve 9x12" photos loose in a stiff folder.
It was opened when we first got it, but has lived in a plastic bag ever since.
1970 SHRINER SYRIA MOSQUE Decorative Plate, Pittsburgh! - eBay (item 310062746309 end time Jul-02-08 18:25:57 PDT)
This decorative plate shows an artist's rendering of the Syria Mosque, a Pittsburgh, PA landmark that has been torn down for years now. The plate has a Shiners emblem and is dedicated to "James P. Houggey, Potentate - 1970." The artist signature says, "Betty. L. Heiges, '69."
I'm not sure if this china plat is for hanging on a wall or for holding snacks. The wear on the gilt edge suggests it was used for something instead of just admired.
Big Little Book Type ORIGINAL ART 143 Panels, Wehrle! - eBay (item 310062236533 end time Jun-30-08 21:12:55 PDT)These panels are all the interior art for the 1981 self-published book Cauliflower Catnip by Joe Wehrle, Jr. The book was made like an old-time Big Little Book, printed on pulpy paper with a cartoon page for every page of text. The book received nice reviews by Cat Yronwode in "Comics Buyers Guide" and by Dale Luciano in "The Comics Journal."
One panel with a lot of old cars has been pasted up from photocopies to fit the space and the author's portrait is mostly a photocopy. Otherwise all the drawings are original inked pages with blue pencil showing how they were roughed in, and some white retouching added. There are 143 panels, including the title page.
The actual bound book shown in the first photo is not included in the sale of these panels, but we will include one of the printed color covers. The first photo also shows how one of the panels looked when printed on the pulpy paper with caption.
If you're a Big Little Book collector, you know this may be your only chance to get your hands on the complete original art for one!
Stumble It!
