I bought a "lot" off eBay the other day for $25 + $16.05 shipped.  I think I did really well, got some incredible items.  My favorite piece is a paper weight that I didn't even know I needed.  All of you that have the manhole paperweight, you need the duct to go with it. Check out these pictures.

I already had the manhole, the duct is what impresses me.  I also like the Hemingway insulator keychain.  The Fenton Bell is a Dixie Chapter pioneers edition.  I've never seen the small glass bell either.

There were several editions of the small glass bells.
Save Time, save steps seems to be the most common.
ATCA had a run of small bells made, They were numbered. John Huckby probably still has some for sale.
