I picked this little piece up at my Grandmother's estate because I found it humorous. It is an advertising promo from Dupont for a product called Lannate, which I see to be a bug killer. It is clear plastic with a white base. It has a thin plastic insert inside (does not come out) which has the Dupont logo and the words "Lannate is lightning" with a lightning bolt crashing down on a dead caterpillar, type bug which I'm pretty sure is real. I think the item might be a paperweight. It is 4 1/8" tall and the base is 1 3/8" square. This is a really neat promo and I'd really like to get a value range on it because I feel it may be rare but I'm not sure.

This is a little pin on badge or medal of some sort, I'm guessing. As the description above says, I'm pretty sure this is sterling silver. On the front is a train and horse scene with I guess maybe a soldier in the foreground. The only imperfection is in the pin on colth area, with some threads coming loose. The dimensions of this object are 1 1/8" tall and 1 3/8" wide. This is a charming little pin and I'd love to know the history of it.

I have come across what appears to be two installments of a newspaper serialization of the Ian Fleming novel, Man with the Golden Gun.

They were printed in The Herald (Victoria, Australia). The first one was printed on the 16th June 1965 and the other one was printed on the 18th June 1965.

It is possible that this serialization was printed as part of a promotional campaign for the novel.

Scans of the newspaper can be viewed here:

This looks like a library ladder. The back is straight, the steps are obviously angled, so instead of it being an "A" frame, it is half of an "A". To fold it, you need to tip the whole thing toward you (steps closest to your body) the the individual steps start flipping up simultaneously and the iron back folds toward the steps that are now all upright. The steps start moving without you having to flip them individually. Very heavy and cumbersome.
