This is a high quality Kitchen Aid with a very heavy and powerful motor. Obviously, the container part of the blender got broken or lost so the owner figured the remaining parts were worthless.

I bought the glass container two weeks ago, complete with red lid and red screw on bottom. Very heavy duty kitchen aid. I had to pay $1

I have been sorting through the bag of matchbooks this week. There are a lot of them that date back to at least the 1940s and some probably earlier than that. I have also been reading up on matchbook collecting. I think the best one in the bag is this one:



Collector's call this a "feature" book because of the graphics on the matchsticks. In addition, this one has a little popup cartoon inside. Popups are, apparently, quite rare. The reference to War Stamps clearly dates this to the early 1940s. I have seen some popup feature matchbooks sell on ebay for upwards of $50. I'm not sure mine will do that well because the condition isn't perfect but I am hoping the WWII references will improve the value some. There are a couple of other feature books in the bag including another Eleanor Shop feature book:



This one is in better condition than the popup. I'm hoping to get $20 or more for this one. There are maybe a couple of hundred other matchbooks that I hope will bring about $3 each.
