Then the main label (I may have this wrong, because it is largely in Gothic script, corrections welcome) says "Branntwien u. Liqueur-Fabrik von Isaac Wed-Ving Wme & Eydam Dirck Hekker; DANZIG gegr.

 MORK 1978 Bubble Gum Egg Dispenser
This is for a very rare original Mork & Mindy 1979 TV series shop display, gravity fed dispenser with contents. Eggs containing bubble gum with crazy Mork sayings.
Copyright 1978 Paramount Pictures. A fantastic item of Mork memorabilia, probably the only one left outside of the planet Ork!
Box in good condition and contents are unopened.
"New from the planet Ork" Comes these super 1970's Mork bubble gum eggs. Each egg has crazy Mork sayings and definitions on every wrapper. The gum in the wrappers are nearly 40 years old, DO NOT EAT!
Mork Bubble Gum was produced by the Amurol Products Company. These were sold in eggs that included wads of gum wrapped in plastic adorned with such Orkan expressions as nim rod, shazbot, amrak, noggachomps, nimnul, crazantha, gleek, and na-no na-no.
In a 1979 People Magazine article, star Robin Williams had an unfavorable reaction to the bubble gum:
When his managers asked him to taste a sample of MORK bubble gum (sold in a plastic egg), he recoiled: "I don't want people chewing this sugar—it's wrong." To Williams' regret, it's on the market.
Very scarce, I'm probably the only one offering the whole display for sale.

 1960s Sample DISSECTING KIT WITH ACTUAL Real SPECIMENS! Science Set This is an extremely rare boxed dissecting kit
A boxed set made in Japan during the 1970s. The top slide cover is stamped with SAMPLE, so this is possibly a traveling sales example of the time. Also written in pen 'New Dissecting and Slide Set'.
Removing the torn cardboard slide cover shows the box in great condition.
On the front it also states (I have adjusted the Japanese-English translation to read a little easier!):
The development of science has finally sent human beings on the surface of the moon. Samples of materials on the moon have been returned back to earth. Now, we are able to observe the moon through a microscope. Now you can try to understand the microscopic world yourself. You can enjoy and appreciate that there is much of the world, space and nature yet to experience. Then, the immortal development of the human kind is promised!
On the side of the box it states:
ATTENTION These specimens are preserved in a solution of 5% formaline. Never drink the solution. If touched, wash your hands with soap and water.
(That's as far as the health and safety went on this product...)
On removing the lid from the base, and the plastic screen cover we see the kit itself consisting of:
10 unused glass slides (one missing easily replaced)
1 slide with a sample, Sodium Glutamate
1 small square tub containing Microscope cover glasses, a small wrapped pack of square glass covers inside, unsure how many.
1 small square tub of blank labels, inside is the smallest little flip pad of paper labels I've ever seen.
On the right side of the box there are three spaces where various tweezers/implements once sat, easily replaced I'm sure.
1 small 9cm long plastic pippet is still in its place as is the small magnifying glass. Below this there is a pack of three small dissecting pins.
In the center of the kit is 6 small glass sealed jars, each containing a real specimen of different kinds, and of course, formaline preservative ...
The first is a small beetle, it has wings but it's not a ladybird, so some other species.
Second is labelled Gelidium Amansil, this is an important species of Red Algae, commonly found in the shallow coast of many East and South Eastern Asian Countries according to Wikipedia, brightly coloured, very interesting. Used in many ways also known as Crystal Sea Swallow Nest...
In the third jar is two samples of Marine Sponge, every science kit requires some, too small to wash the car with, but perfect for dissecting.
The forth jar contains an actual Frog, I am no expert on Toads or frogs so I cannot tell you what kind it is, but I can confirm it is real, and preserved in formaline.
Next in the Fifth jar is a sample of Canada Balsam, also known as Canada Turpentine or balsam of fir, made from the resin of the Balsam Fir Tree (Abies balsamea) of boreal North America. the resin when dissolved in essential oils, is a viscous, sticky, colourless or yellowish liquid. I can confirm, this does look sticky and an orangy yellowish substance, no longer a liquid though.
The final jar contains a Silkworm, the caterpillar of the silk moth, I knew this without even looking it up! And I know that it produces silk too, well this one doesn't, but many do, it's their main job.
Anyway there you have it, a pretty amazing kit in my opinion, I've tried to look it up but cannot find anything like this. I'm sure they would not sell anything like this these days either, so a rarity indeed. £185.00

 Original Michael Jackson Late 1980s Large Red Framed Poster, Who's Bad MJ Album Original Michael Jackson Late 1980s Large Framed Poster, Who's Bad.
Very Rare Fan memorabilia.
Excellent condition. Still in Original Glass/Red frame measuring 42.5cm x 52.5cm
( Bar Stool not included ) Collection from Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Bad is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, by Epic Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous album, Thriller (1982). Written and recorded between January 1985 and July 1987, Bad was the third and final collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones, with Jackson co-producing and composing all but two tracks. With Bad, Jackson departed from his signature groove-based style and high-pitched vocals. The album's edgier sound incorporates pop, rock, funk, R&B, dance, soul, and hard rock styles. Jackson also experimented with newer recording technology, including digital synthesizers and drum machines, resulting in a sleeker and more aggressive sound. Lyrical themes on the album include media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement, and world peace. The album features appearances from Siedah Garrett and Stevie Wonder. £100.00
