The next one is something I've never seen before - a pair of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice BOOKENDS!! - from the well-known ceramic and fine china company - Fitz & Floyd. Needless to say, the auction calls this one "Rare"!
Yep, heads on one - toes on the other
.
O.K. so they captured them "in spirit" ....
Here's the auction - they are asking $9.99 to $12.65 shipping (I hate when they lower the price and jack up the shipping) and it ends on Nov. 19th.)

And the next one is a DVD of all 13 episodes of Sam Peckinpah's THE WESTERNER - starring Brian Keith. Our Bob was in an excellent episode called "Line Camp" ... this was a really great series, way ahead of its time!! It truly was the epitome of the adult, dark, thinking Western ...
I have rarely seen Culp's episode up for auction, let alone the whole series. But it now appears to be out on DVD (or this guy did a great job on the graphics for the cover).
They are asking $14.99 plus $4.00 shipping - for 13 episodes on 4 DVDs - and the auction ends on Nov. 22nd.
