Some of those things need a couple of category listings to take off. I did a fair amount of research to get some keywords in the listing that I really hoped were correct. (!)

I'm selling some of Mom's souvenir jackets and a sweat shirt from attending the opening of the Women in the Military Memorial in 1997. They didn't go first try as a group of things, but individually I am finding that if they are listed as a regular garment and also as "militariana, other" (something like that) they get a few more hits and do sell. The corks are a hoot, just a game, really. I'm getting ready to list a hammered dulcimer on eBay. With more information about the makers (still in existence) and perhaps a reserve price this time, I hope it does better than the last dulcimer.

I found an interesting taxidermy web site that I'm going to read through pretty carefully to see what I can find out about old time tanning and mounting of skins in bear rugs. Keyword search again, again, but I am also hoping for comprehension of what the actual condition of this might be in contrast to the relative scarcity of some of the stuff with it.
