In recent visits to one auction site, I found:
- A beautiful full-color poster of the sign alphabet
- An inexpensive older model TDD
- Telephone signallers
- Postcards and other items from 19th century schools for the deaf
- Sign language dictionaries
- Novels featuring deaf characters
- Baseball cards with deaf players
- An engraving of a "deaf and dumb" asylum
- An ancient hearing aid
- Helen Keller mementos
Some high tech professionals have even "auctioned" themselves on the internet. The interpreter shortage is so severe that I would not be surprised to see interpreters auctioning their services on the internet.
What is the most unusual deaf-related item you have found in an internet auction? E-mail me and it will be added to the above list.
