The relief images are of a Native American girl ringing a bell on one side and the other side shows a bird's nest with two eggs and some small sunbursts. The main clapper is white ceramic and the hanging ceramic piece off the clapper has a relief painted image of two birds by a bell. The initials "SJ" are from the artist who painted the bell. Incidentally, the people advertising these as signed by DeGrazia are either completely stupid or really bad liars. The two DeGrazia signatures you see are etched into the ceramic (you can see and feel it) and are simply painted over by the color artist for the bell, in this case SJ. If you happen to see a third inked signature, then you may have the real deal. Otherwise, it's a pile of horse poop these sellers are shoveling your way. Includes a Wind Tamers card with a photo of Ted on one side (shown). See bell and card  $25

JAPANESE CLAM SHELL NETSUKE DIORAMA: Late-1960s, beside a bit of dust in the back recesses, it is Like New/As Made - nothing broken or missing, one duck is listing to the side, but that is how it was manufactured, this ornate miniature diorama is made from multiple forms of plastic, size 3 inches wide by 2.25 inches deep by 2 inches tall (without base), it features an open clam shell design with two dragons facing each other on the top outer shell, the interior scene is of a home under a tree by a river side, the water wheel on the house spins, a couple stands in front looking at a boat in the water with two ducks by the river edge, a man is crossing the bridge that leads to the house. This diorama was mass produced in Japan, but it turns up with many variations: some hand painted (many different color combinations), some not painted, some with faux patina aging, the scene can have or be missing the boat, the couple, the ducks or the man on the bridge, the water wheel can spin or be fixed, and the shell top can have one or two dragons. This particular diorama has all the scene elements, a unique color scheme, the water wheel turns, two dragons on top, and it comes with the original 2 1/4 x 2 7/8 inch black finished wood base.

There appears to be a lower case "g" hallmark on the underside belly. Really cute fat piggy with thin dowel legs, and while it's meant for garden display, it works just fine indoors, too. I've seen this advertised as "Aardman," which it most definitely is not, but it's just as charming a design. See pig  $15

PLAYING CARD DECK WITH 1940 US INTERNAL REVENUE 1 PACK PLAYING CARDS STAMP with U.S. P.C. Co. OVERPRINT: Scott #RF29, Rotary Press Coil Stamp that was in use from 1940 to 1965, stamp is still on the sealed pack of playing cards, cards are sealed with the old style wax paper wrapper, an approximately one half inch tear is on the pack edge. Card back design is a green and white house with a brown flower overlay made by the United States Playing Card Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. A reliable way to date decks made by the USPCC is the dating code printed on the ace of spades at the time it was manufactured. Since this pack is still sealed, it's not possible to do that. It is believed that this pack comes from the 1950s, but that is simply a best guess based on the other items it was found with. Nice item for either a stamp or vintage playing card collector. See pack  $25

RICOHFLEX HOLIDAY CAMERA: Vintage 1956 camera, Serial No. 574673, 6x6 (120 size film) Twin Lens Reflex (TLR), Anastigmat 1:3.5/8 cm (f3.5/80mm) lens, film take-up spool in place, includes original Riken lens cap and the original plastic strap is still attached. There is no cosmetic damage with minimal corner rub wear on the back edge corners, so the body is in excellent condition. The shutter activates and ASA/film winding knob turns normally. The geared synchronous focusing lens will not freely spin, so it will require maintenance or repair. Everything else appears to be functioning normally, but without running a roll of film through it, I can't say for sure. As with everything, it's sold "As Is." Worst case scenario is it will make a great parts source, as this has been sitting in a cabinet drawer since the 1960s. See camera front  See camera side/back  $35

While I've seen these listed as "vintage decorative silver hats," and they certainly are, they were also functional items back when cigarette smoking was in its heyday. Travel back to the good ol' days when you put your butt out on sterling silver instead of slag metal. See hats  All 3 for $310

VEG-O-MATIC FOOD PREPARER: Original 1963 Model Item No. 707, Manufactured by Feature Products, Inc. of Chicago, IL, US and World Patents were pending on this early model with later models having the Patent stamped into the top plastic of the unit, Box shows a 1961 date, but the Use & Care Booklet inside reads 1963, Unit condition appears marginally used, still in the original bag in the original box, marginal white plastic discoloration after 53 years, both metal cutting blade rings look new, top decal still in place but the "Blade Settings" and "Important" stickers are missing, includes Use & Care Booklet, Authorized Service Stations List and Replacement Order Form. Original Box is without tears, but there is visible wear and staining on what was the white top and bottom panels. There is a registered Waldorf stamp on the box bottom, which is unusual. Though Ron Popeil made this famous, and his name is immediately associated with it, you won't find Popeil anywhere on the product. "It slices! It dices! The World's Fastest Food Preparation Appliance!" Outstanding trip back in time item for any connoisseur of kitsch. See Veg-o-matic  $27

WEDGWOOD PALE BLUE JASPERWARE SWEET DISH: As Issued/Like New, no chips or cracks, oval, size roughly 4 3/8 by 3 1/8 inches, hallmark "Wedgwood Made In England 74" on bottom. Called a "sweet dish," but it looks better suited for jewelry or trinkets, blue background with a white raised cameo design of three cherubs and a barking dog, also four raised white flowers with leaves on the inside edges. Exact year of release unknown, but obtained in England in 1978. Comes in original Wedgwood box with "Know Your Wedgwood" flyer. Box is a bit confusing, it reads: Jasper (Pale Blue) Sweet Dish Silver. So, it says it's blue, which it is, yet it also says it's silver, which it is not. The box may have doubled for both releases. See dish  See hallmark and box  $14.50
