Russel Wright pottery is a line of colorful, mid-century modern dinnerware made by Steubenville Pottery (1939-1959); known for its streamlined shapes, vibrant hues (this one is Seafoam), and affordability, it became America's best-selling ceramic service, embodying the "Good Design" movement. 2. Lionel Train engine. This one has a funny story. I went to a hoarder home about 2 hours from my home. There was a little garage type building off to the side (actually, there were 3 such buildings on the property). After digging around at ground level, I looked up and saw a box in the rafters. I stacked furniture and boxes up high enough that I could climb to reach it. It was a box of old toys. This was in that box. 3. Booms away! vintage toy in original package. Made in Hong Kong 4. "Hypatia" BOOK by Charles Kingsley is a historical novel set in ancient Alexandria, centered on the life of Hypatia, a renowned philosopher and mathematician who champions the ancient Greek gods amidst rising tensions with Christianity. The narrative follows Philammon, a young monk who embarks on a journey from his secluded monastic life to the vibrant city of Alexandria, drawn by the allure of Hypatia’s teachings. As he navigates the complexities of love, faith, and cultural conflict, Philammon finds himself caught between his Christian upbringing and the philosophical allure of Hypatia. The book was authored in 1853 and although this one has no copyright date in it, I'm estimating this one is from the very early 1900s. 5. This paperback is just fun. First Edition, June 1997. Star Wars Diplomatic Corps Entrance Exam. No writing in the book
