Here are two of the Gone With the Wind cotton handkerchiefs offerend in 1940. They feature the likenesses of different characters from the film. The right one here features Bonnie Blue on her horse, Mr. Butler, and also with Rhett, the doting father. The left one features Scarlett O'Hara. These are truly greatand rare finds for a collector.

Above are two games from 1940 by Marietta Games of Marietta, Ohio. They are played similar to Chinese checkers. Vivien Leigh liked to play Chinese checkers while on the set of Gone With the Wind, and that's where the idea for the games came from. They are valued at around $150.00 each.

Above are two lobby cards from the 1961 release of the film. The left is the scene where Ashley returns from the war and he and Melanie run to each other and embrace tenderly. The right one is Scarlett in her Widow's Weeds dancing the Virginia Reel with Rhett at the Atlanta Bazzar. The cards were printed in four-color process printing. Their value is about $75.00 each.

Here is an example of a one of a kind Gone With the Wind collectible. This photo was sent to me by a fellow Windie. The bookends you see here were once part of a building Peggy Mitchell refered to as "The Dump." Apparently during one of the times The Dump was being repaired my friend's father got these bricks. Then, as you see here, he made then into these beautiful bookends as a gift. Other people may have similar bricks from the dump, but these have become one of a kind by being made into bookends, there is not another pair of bookends like them in the entire world. Value? Priceless to Lori I'm sure!
