Boys or Girls Size 2 Fancy Black SKECHERS COWBOY BOOTS! - eBay (item 310108883040 end time Dec-18-08 18:42:14 PST)This pair of black Skechers cowboy boots would fit either a girl or boy, US size 2. They're manmade material, made in China, with embroidered legs, a silver-chained ankle belt embroidered "Skechers" on the back and have silver medallions and toe clips.
The label inside the foot says, "Somethin' Else from Skechers." The inner leg is stamped, "All Manmade Material, Made in China, US 2, UK 1, EUR 33.5, CM 21."
They're so lightly used they smell new. The worst flaw is a white scuff on the left inner foot (bunion area). There are several minor scratches on each toe and two small white marks on the outer left heel. See photos.
These fancy cowboy boots have 1 1/2" heels. The boots measure 9 1/2" from back of heel to toe tip, 10 3/4" tall, 3 1/4" across widest part of sole, 9" tall shaft from top of heel to top of boot, and the shaft measures 5 3/4" across top of boot.

Vintage Wooden DUCK NUTCRACKER Head Lever, Shells Box! - eBay (item 310106396091 end time Dec-09-08 19:45:52 PST)Here's a nutcracker with an unusual design, perfect for a hunter or nature lover. The duck's head and neck are a lever. Lift it, place a nut on the platform and press the lever down to crack nuts. The shells fall into the box. I see no maker's mark.
It's in good used condition, solidly constructed with little marks where broken nuts scratched the wood. There are also a few minor dents here and there and one of the duck's eyes has chipped paint. Good for lots more nutcracking fun.
Vintage AUTO-LITE CARBIDE HELMET LAMP Coal Miner Light! - eBay (item 310106377670 end time Dec-09-08 18:15:13 PST)This vintage Auto-Lite miner's carbide lamp clipped to his helmet and lit his way in the darkness with a small flame and reflecting dish. The bottom is embossed, "Auto-Lite, Patented Universal Lamp Co., Made in U.S.A." The top says, "Auto Lite, Reg. US Pat Office, Universal Lamp Co. Chicago U.S.A." and the "ON" setting for the control valve.
To see how a carbide lamp works and a diagram of all the parts, visit: http://www.sip.ie/sip019B/carbide/carbide.htm
The reflector dish needs shined up and the rim is somewhat bent. The whole lamp has general patina with a half-inch green spot down on the left side. The top and bottom are easy to unscrew to put carbide inside. The water fill lid flips open easily and the adjusting lever turns. The hook on the back is firmly attached. Someone twisted a strand of wire on it. The water lid brace may have been repaired with solder to attach it to the lamp.
Vintage DURHAM DUPLEX STRAIGHT RAZOR KIT, 4 Orig Blades - eBay (item 310106118079 end time Dec-08-08 20:09:46 PST)This vintage straight razor kit is a Durham Duplex Razor in original case lined with satin and velvet. The double-sided razor folds into a hollow tortoiseshell-colored celluloid handle. This kit includes four original blades.
The razor and case are marked, "Durham Duplex." The razor handle says, "Pat. U.S.A. Nov. 7, 11, and Foreign Countries, Made in U.S.A." The blades are in a paper embossed, "Durham Duplex, Packed in Special Anti-Rust Neutralized Paper, Patented U.S.A. Dec. 20, 1910?" The year is almost obliterated. The blades are marked, "Durham Duplex Razor Co., New York, N.Y. Pat'd. U.S.A. Nov. 7, 1911." Another paper with accordion folds probably held blades at one time and is stamped in blue ink with "1816" for some reason.
The cloth-covered metal case is worn through on one end, soiled and stained, and the lid closes a little crookedly. The razor looks great, could be cleaned up better. The razor blades are used and look pretty good except for some marks and one edge with chips.
Donald Duck GHOST MORGAN Big Little Book, Carl Barks! - eBay (item 310106095494 end time Dec-08-08 18:15:57 PST)This vintage Better Little Book is Walt Disney's Donald Duck, Ghost Morgan's Treasure, No. 1411, published in 1946.

This copy is in nice shape with age darkening of covers and page edges. The front cover is smooth except for top bumped corner. The back cover corners are also bumped. Interior pages are very crisp and clean, nice and flexible. The spine is intact, with minor bends top and bottom and a couple of color scrapes on the edges.
