FUN WITH DICK AND JANE 1956 William S Gray & ADVENTURES IN WRITING Gertrude Keir Oxford University Press. Genuine vintage originals.

I'm at the start of listing my toys and books from the 1960s and 1970s - there's a lot more to come!, so you may wish to add me to your 'saved seller' list. Any queries about an items' condition, please email me before bidding.

There will be lots more vintage children's books and toys to come - I am just going through things from the loft a box at a time, so please feel free to add me to your 'saved seller' list. I can usually combine postage.

Dick and Jane book Part 1 is copyright 1956. I can see no other date in this book. Charming full-colour illustrations throughout. Only the one owner - me! The "Happy Trio" Reading Scheme. Published by Wheaton USA. Entire. Happy Time Series. Hardback. Entire. Intact. About 5 pages with a little biro on them, plus Mickey Mouse transfer on front cover. Harder to find here in the UK. 

Adventures in Writing books 4, 5 and 6 are my brothers and date to about 1966. From Oxford University Press. Rare. Some pages are completed but maybe about half are not. By Gertrude Keir. Softback. Can't find anything like these on eBay, so perhaps not many are around anymore. All 3 are entire. 

Colours are very good for all books - they have been stored safely in the loft away from daylight and dust.

Please see my pictures above for condition of all the books.

I can usually combine postage.

Dimensions for Dick and Jane book:  Just under 8.25" high x 5.5" wide x 19mm deep approx..

Dimensions for Adventures In Writing books:  7.25" high x just under 5.75" wide x 4mm deep approx..

Please see my pictures above, where I have done my best to show these items as honestly as I can, and which form part of my description. Some pics are taken in normal light, others with more brightness, so you can see the items better.

Please feel free to ask any questions. From a smoke-free environment.

I am happy to combine postage on items from my auctions

ZIP DRIVES AND DISKS   
ZIP drive (100Mb)  with SCSI on Macintosh   
ZIP drive (100Mb) with USB for use with either Macintosh or PC   
There are twelve 100Mb disks. 11 work and have been tested, the 12th I simply found later and haven't tested yet. All but two have cases, although many of the cases have damage to their hinges.   
The zip drives work fully. They allow exchange of files (up to the size of the disk)  between old Macintosh systems (9, for instance and an old system 10) and USB PCs (PC formatted disks will play on the old Mac equipment). The USB drive works on a contemporary Windows 7 laptop. I have tested this and transfer of files in both directions is possible. However, the length of file name is much shorter on the Mac systems, so these can become truncated.

The big blue G3   
The PowerMac with 500MHz card   
Mac Classic in black carry-bag. This isn't working. I've tried adjustin gthe pots to no avail. There's no ping/bong, so that may suggest a low voltage issue, as the screen comes on, but with a static pattern. See the webpage in the following box. See also two pdfs in the documents folder. See also the forum page in the box after next

Mac Classic. Fully working. 40Mb hard drive. System 6. Had Finale 3.0 installed.   
Mac Classic without hard drive. It does come on, but the screen looks a bit weak. Floppy doesn't work.

G3   
G3 200MHz   
Small laptop 5400   
Small laptop of older type with poor screen. This is a Powerbook PC 1400cs. The screen isn't too bad if you turn contrast lowish and brilliance highish. So it's saleable. The hard disk would need to be double-checked before passing it on. At the moment it has Clarisworks with a Hadders name on it, so that would have to be removed and the rest checked, or just over write the rest of the space and reinstall the system from the cd that's in the case. It has a case! They can sell for anything from £.50 to £30. Someone is trying to get £650 in the States. However, with a case that's got to be a bit of a special item. Sell it!   
  
  
HARD DRIVES   
2Gb for Macintosh (this is the biggest size that can be used on some of the old Macintosh computers, perhaps it's the compact type   
120Mb for Macintosh   
40Mb – old Macintosh hard disk   
47Gb – this was the largest that I could find that would run on the older Macintoshs. At the time – there are two of these – one is ok – the other is seemingly next-to ok, but it won't work, it says 'it can't be found. However, at the moment it is packed with private information so I have either to get it working in order to clean it, or I need to keep it or drill a hole through it and recycle.   
There is also the 120Mb Qisk disks – two of these. I haven't decided to part with either yet, so I haven't erased them   
The Mac Classic has or had a 57.9Mb hard drive. This has has the 'filler'treatment, and left the system 6 folder on it. I may swap it with another disk to try in the Mac Classic because it even date the Mac Classic is not working.

the regular type sell for around £8 to £15 – the better price seems to be in the States.

We need three for the Classics and one for the table. That's four. I have eleven that are working. If I keep two spares, that's six I need to keep, and that leaves five to sell. Which shape – I could try both, I guess.

KEYBOARDS
I have 6 keyboards of this type. I need to keep one for the table, and three for Mac Classics, That's four altogether, or five if I keep a spare. That only leave one to sell!
