Snagged this new complete box of The Simpsons pogs and I’m so pumped to add this to my collection. These were my favorite pogs back in the day.

Found this old bike in my friends attic. Any value in it?
Hi folks! I found this package of mine in my mom’s house and I’m not sure if it’s worth trying to do anything with it. The characters are from children’s shows in Québécois French. As you can see, they aren’t taken out of their pages, everything is intact. I have 2 full sets. Any tips on the best way to find someone to love them would be appreciated! Thanks folks!
I found this interesting small cookie jar in a thrift shop. Etched glass decoration on the front. (I put paper inside to show the etching better.) Aluminum lid, which fits well - original to the jar? No maker marks that I can make out. There is a circular imprint, off-center, on the base; about 1&3/4 inches across. The jar is 8+ inches tall with the lid on, and about 6&3/4 inches tall without the lid. It's 6 inches wide. I'm hoping to figure out how old it is, and who manufactured it.
Hi,
I bought this when backpacking in Rome in 1992. It folds flat and has 3 hooks to keep it in place. At the time I was told it was an 'Indian prayer chair' but doing some searches I saw similar chairs for birthing and 'palaver chairs' of African provenance. It has some script at the top. Anyone know where it is from and what it was used for? Thanks
