Canon AE-1 Owners Manual

I was going through my old camera equipment and found a Canon AE-1 owners manual dating back to around the mid 70's. It is in black and white and in fairly good condition except for a crinkle at the top of the right hand corner of the front page. Anyone know what it might be worth and if it would be worth listing?

Can someone help with a postal collectible?

Hello, all -- I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance about how and where to list a particular item that someone gave my kids a long time ago. It's an envelope that's stamped and dated October 26, 1995 when the Cleveland Indians got into the World Series. The envelope has the Indians mascot and the words Cleveland Indians World Series Station, October 26, 1995, Cleveland, Ohio 44101-9998. There's also a holographic stamp of outer space, with USA 32 in red next to it. I've never listed anything like this before (I usually do cross stitch) and have no idea what it is or what category to list it under. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Vintage Candy Container- FANNY FARMER LAMB PULL TOY HELP PLEASE?

Could anyone help with the possible age of this children's Easter candy container? I know it's pre-1960, but beyond that I haven't a clue as I have not been able to find one sold or any other information on it. I have a feeling it's the only one that survived!!! It came unused in the original box and it is constructed of heavy cardboard and has wooden wheels with a wooden pull knob. It stands 7 in. tall, is 7in. in length and has the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb" written on the front and back. Any help would be wonderful!

W over VW logo...Who the heck is THIS?

Hey everyone, This has officially driven me nuts, so I've come here to ask for help. I have this glass paperweight that has a logo on the bottom that I just cannot figure out what company it belongs to. It looks like it's either a W over another W or a W over VW. I say a book where I picked this up that had the same logo with the company name (something like "Williams and Van Williams") but for the life of me, can't remember what the two names were. ANY help ID'ing the company would be vastly appreciated. TY in advance. Mark

curiosity question about vintage keys

Hi all, I think it's my first time to this board -- mostly this is just a curiosity question for anyone who knows anything about vintage key collecting, so if there is a better discussion board to check out, just let me know. I was curious about a completed auction for a brass barrel key, item # 20031415772 -- could someone shed some light with regard to what made this key so desirable? Also, the use of the word "obsolete" in the title -- I see some sellers using this for similar keys, while others don't. I thought it must be the markings on this key that made it so desirable, which leads me to one more question... What was it used for? Thanks in advance for your help. Kristin

Bronzed Flared Cup -- Solf Boiled Egg Holder?

Link A little over 3 1/2" high. Open part on top is 1 3/4" in diameter. Hollow part at base almost 3". Bronze, I think, tho maybe brass. Leaf engraving on the metal. I remember as a kid eating softboiled eggs, peeled at top from something shaped like this. But those were pottery, not metal. I could be a candle holder, but flared at top like it is?

Breed of my large blow mold terrier...... ???

I adopted this 16" tall terrier. Head is removable and I see that it was made in Italy. I believe he is life-size and he is completely posable. I can find no company name. 1) Is this a fox terrier or a Jack Russell? 2) Can this be accurately described as blow mold? It is plastic and completely hollow. 3) Any ideas who made this or when? I have searched and searched and searched.
