The woman above was out by the street promoting her garage sale. First time I can remember seeing anything like that as part of a garage sale.
So far it has been a fairly lackluster garage sale season for me. I have not seen many cameras of any kind. Not even the cheap plastic give-away cameras that were once a frequent sight.
Hopefully, things will pick up once August comes around. The main town around here is a University town and things tend to be slow in June and July. So right now I am taking a few pictures at the sales, but not finding much of interest to buy.
I did find this radio at a sale, however I haven't found much info on it. It was made by Marvel, a Japanese company not connected to the the maker of comic books. It was probably made in the 1960's. This type of radio was popular when I was a kid in the 1960's. Stick one in your pocket and use an earphone, and you might get away with listening to the radio in class. It does still work on a 9 volt battery. I would guess it is not valued at much more than the couple of dollars that I paid for it. Some of these small transistor radios are in fairly high demand especially when they have a pleasing appearance and are in good shape. Not many small items evoke the spirit of an era more effectively.
