2 Mantis Q40. Braille notetaker with full qwerty keyboard. Value estimate $500 $250 minimum bid. Karen Jernberg

3 Glass  sculpture of poler bear on ice flow.
The sculpture by Matts Jonasson resembles a block of ice with a polar bear carved into the back of it. The carving is tactile. With the melting of the polar ice cap and the danger that poses to polar bears, I think that this is a particularly poignant piece of art . Value approximately $100 $50 minimum bid.
