ETTORE "TED" DeGRAZIA WIND TAMERS CERAMIC BELL: "Bell Of Hope," Late 1970s, Hand Painted (not by Ted), Like New/Unused in original packing paper and R.B. Enterprises DeGrazia box, out of production, authorized by DeGrazia's Gallery In The Sun, the main bell is 5 inches long and 3 3/4 inches in diameter, when hanging it's roughly 15 1/2 inches from the top strap loop to the bottom of the ceramic clapper piece. 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

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.

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

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 SOLD

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
