Somethings in my collection are interesting pieces but don’t fit into a category so I’m sharing some on this page. ICEE Bear was the character behind ICEE drinks, sort of like a 7-11 Slurpee. This is a plastic money box that promoted the drink back in the 70’s, I found this one many years ago … these are rare in Australia.

Plasticine (below) is a molding clay that we used to use at school and home for all kinds of projects.
