Harmonica ID and Care

Hello, there! I recently purchased this old harmonica for my 10 year-old nephew as he expressed interest in learning to "play it like Grampa did". I know nothing about it and he is very curious, especially about how old it is and how to clean and maintain it. He tried it out and I think it sounds great! Nephew, however, says it "feels loose but louder than Grampa's" when he tried it. Any info/advice is welcome! Thanks a bunch, from both of us!

Unusual Paperweight ID Help

Hi there! I recently acquired this unusual paperweight for my husband's birthday. We'd love to know more about it, especially who the artist might be. It is signed, "Due Vetro" which to me sounds more like a glass house. I'm not finding much information at all in searches; hoping someone may be able to ID or give me more direction. Thanks!

Best Place to Sell?

I've decided I'd like to sell my 1985 Casio CK-200. However, lacking experience selling electronics online I am wondering what the best platform might be for this rarity. There's Ebay, of course, but anyone have any other suggestions I can look into that might be better suited? Thanks a bunch!

Easy Pillowcase Ghostie, Kid-Friendly

Taped a small inflated balloon to the top of a mason jar which was wrapped in plastic (helps avoid sticking issues later). Cut 12" square from an old pillowcase. Mixed a 4oz bottle of white school glue with equal part water, mixy mixy. A plastic fork makes a better blender than a spoon. 😉

Soaked cloth in solution til saturated, squeezed out excess. Draped center of material over balloon "head" and arranged corners of material to form corner points for standing stability once dry.

Let dry completely; we used a fan on low, took about 3 hours to dry stiffly. Pop balloon from inside and remove ghostie from jar. Applied black eyes cut from old t-shirt and added lil blue bow with fast-drying craft glue.

Add battery tea light.. and yay! 👻🩵

CK-200 Cassette Deck Advice Please

CK-200.. I'm afraid to try to clean the cassette deck, lol. Any advice on maybe cleaning the compartment, first? It looks alright, maybe a little dusty. I remember watching my older brother use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Is there something special I should use or leave it alone? Advice welcome! Thanks!
