Vintage Sears Rare 1978 Mushroom Bird Feeder
You won't see too many of these left around the country. It is a Sears Roebuck & Company Mushroom style bird feeder that was part of the famous pottery collection of mushroom articles sold by Sears in the late 70's. They sold other pieces of the collection such as cannister sets and a clock. I have sold several of the clocks but this is the only bird feeder I have ever seen.
There are no chips or cracks on the item that I can find. It is in excellent condition and comes complete with a brass chain and hook.
This Mushroom Bird Feeder measures about 7.5 inches tall by nearly 4.5 inches around at the mushroom cap. Help yourself to this wonderfully rare piece from the past. It is signed on the bottom as being the authentic article.

Collectible 1940 Swiss Hermes Baby Jubilee Typewriter
Here is a most unusual portable manual HERMES typewriter made in Switzerland by the Paillard s. a. Yverdon and distributed in the USA by Paillard Products, Inc of 100 Sixth Ave, New York 13, NY. That is all written on the back of the typewriter and dates it for sure.
The typewriter is unusual by the fact the number and letter keys are black and the function keys are gray colored. There are no ribbon or ribbon spools with this typewriter, but a universal ribbon should work nicely, and they can be found on the Internet by searching with Google. A visit to your local office supply might also yield a ribbon with spools that will fit the machine.
This typewriter is really well-built and has a solid typing touch to it. It is very easy to type and the machine is very well designed.
It measures 11 inches wide by 11 inches deep and 2.75 inches tall. The carrying case is actually part of the typewriter. The top of the case comes off and the typewriter is ready for action.
Here is what one typewriter history web site says of this machine:
Quote: Hermes typewriters were designed in Switzerland - home of precision engineering. And they were built with all the Swiss passion for moving mechanisms and solid craftsmanship. The Hermes compact portables were no exception. The machine weighs in as the worlds lightest portable typewriter according to one of the company's literatures. Compactly designed with all-important features, the Hermes compact portable is an ideal typewriter for students, occasional typists and people on the road.
Also known as Hermes Baby Jubilee, this is the Mini Cooper of typewriters! The totally appealing Hermes Baby gained instance success since its introduction and garnered a loyal following among stylish writers of the day. Clean and sporty, manufactured with the highest degree of quality, including the precision Swiss engineering that one would expect from a Swiss watch. End Quote
This machine has been serviced and is ready for use, or it would make a great item for a collector display. It would also work great for a movie prop. It has the look of a military field typewriter. The typewriter itself only weighs 7 pounds. With packing and box it will probably ship for around 11 pounds. This is very light for a portable typewriter.
Condition: Used
