Vintage B/W 16 MM FILM Three Little Bruins in a Canoe! - eBay (item 310100147638 end time Nov-17-08 19:29:32 PST)This vintage 16 mm one-reel black and white footage in original box is "Three Little Bruins in a Canoe" from Castle Films, Division of United World Films, Inc. The box is marked, "16 MM Headline Edition No. 619." We think it's from the late 1940s.
The original box has stains and an inch tear in the top flap. The film has tape on the end in the photo, but we removed the tape. The sprockets look good. The silent film is on a fiberboard reel.

Vintage Cream, Rust, Brown Striped ROTARY DESK PHONE! - eBay (item 310100143580 end time Nov-17-08 19:10:58 PST)This vintage rotary phone features stylish brown, rust and tan stripes on a cream background. The phone base is marked, "11-79, Made in Mexico. Code Inspection MB-061534 F. For Retail Only ITT Own-A-Phone™, ITT Personal Communications."
The white sticker says, "Competes with Part 68 FCC rules. FCC Registration Number AS293P-67156-TE-R. Ringer Equivalence 0.5A. Grantee: ITT. ITT Model PC1300 Series. Use with USOC RJ11C Outlet."
It has a dial tone, despite the phone line plug-in having no locking clip to keep it connected, and the loose receiver cord. The number plate is missing. The cream color is age-darkening and shows wear. There are wear marks on the finger dial, phone face and sides. The finger dial works well.

This set of tools has been used. The paper label on the lid is wrinkled and scraped, there are scratches on the back. Two strips of wood that were meant to hold the screwdrivers and chisels in place are lying loose in the box. So, first job a new owner can do is repair the box!
Vintage Avocado Green Hard-Wire ROTARY WALL-MOUNT PHONE - eBay (item 310099310051 end time Nov-14-08 19:26:42 PST)This vintage avocado green rotary wall-mount phone needs to be hard-wired to get a dial tone. The front is embossed, "Bell System, Western Electric." The back is marked, "Bell System Property, Not For Sale." A sticker on the back says, "Property of PADEL, Not For Sale." The receiver is marked, "Bell System Property, Not For Sale, Western Electric."
On the upper back panel are two stickers, one on top of the other. It says, "554BMP 8-77." I couldn't test it. The connector on the back looks worn. The finger dial works perfectly.
BOUZOUKI LIQUOR BOTTLE Greek Musical Instrument Shape! - eBay (item 310099308980 end time Nov-14-08 19:21:31 PST)This unique Greek liquor bottle is shaped like a Greek bouzouki musical instrument. Two Greek words are embossed on the bottom. I can't reproduce the letters here. The label on the front says, "Bouzouki."
The bottle came to me in a filthy condition. The thin yellow paint highlighting the frets was also in the back body ridges, but as I cleaned the bottle up, they washed off. Oops.
The design on the body front is paper or plastic. Small areas of the design are missing. It's a fascinating shape that looks good from all angles.
Stumble It!
