1981 TOPPS RAIDERS / LOST ARK Trading Card Gum Wrapper!

1981 TOPPS RAIDERS / LOST ARK Trading Card Gum Wrapper! - eBay (item 310121304648 end time Feb-12-09 18:49:36 PST)

Look what we found between the pages of an old magazine. This vintage Topps trading card bubble gum wrapper features a screened photo image of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and the words, "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It's marked, "TM:© Lucasfilm, Ltd. (LFL) 1981. All Rights Reserved." There's a Bazooka gum ad on one edge, the ingredients list and such on the other. It's nice and flat from years between the pages.

This tissue-thin gum wrapper is in excellent condition with faint marks where it once was folded around the trading card and gum, and has minor stains on the back. The marks on the front show up better in the scan than in real life.

BOLEX P1 ZOOM REFLEX 8mm Movie Camera, Leather Case!

BOLEX P1 ZOOM REFLEX 8mm Movie Camera, Leather Case! - eBay (item 310121109425 end time Feb-11-09 18:18:49 PST)

This vintage video camera is a 1962 Bolex 8 mm Video Camera made by Paillard in Switzerland, serial number 948312. The lens was made in France and is a SOM Berthiot Pan-Cinor 8-40mm f/1.9 zoom lens. There is film in the camera. The red-brown leather case was made in England.

For expert information and all the details on this camera model, visit http://www.bolexcollector.com/cameras/p1.html

I have no idea how to operate it. I'm able to focus the split screen easily. If you want to know if the motor works, tell me what settings to make and what buttons to push.

It appears to be in very good condition. The ASA selector dial is cracked. It has a lens cap, lens hood, but no rubber eye cup. I don't see the hand crank the site mentions and I don't see how to open the spot where it should go.

100 EMBROIDERY FLOSS Assorted Lot, Most New, Plus Cards - eBay (item 310119342979 end time Feb-01-09 20:07:18 PST)

This lot of embroidery floss has 44 assorted colors, plus 10 skeins of black, 12 skeins of white and 32 cards of floss, plus 19 empty cards. They include Beachwood, DN (made in Mexico), Belding Lily and DMC cotton flosses. I haven't done cross stitch in so long, I forgot I had these supplies. Can you use them?

Each skein holds 8.75 or 9 yards of 6-strand cotton embroidery floss. Most of the skeins are unused, some of the cards are lightly used. Three skeins have some sparkle: one skein of 101 black, two skeins of 13 blue. I tossed in a few partially used skeins, so the total is 100. The floss wound onto cards have the color number written on the cards.

Vintage Simple Basic KODAK BOX CAMERA, Used 120 Film

Vintage Simple Basic KODAK BOX CAMERA, Used 120 Film - eBay (item 310118161526 end time Jan-27-09 18:30:00 PST)

This simple and basic vintage Kodak box camera has no model name or number. Perhaps it was on the original handle, but that's long gone. The film advance knob says, "Use Kodak Film 120." The back is embossed, "Use Kodak Film 120. Made in U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y." Look up an Anniversary camera and you see one very similar to this one.

A sticker inside says, "Use Kodak Film 120. Use Kodak film in the yellow box. It gets the Picture. Patented in U.S.A. 1,169,882 and 1,613,365. Printed in U.S.A. No. 40,984."

We made a handle out of a strip of rubber. The shutter works fast. The view windows are very tiny, dark and dim. The camera has marks and general edge wear.
