Antique steiff bears

We post about Batman on Gizmodo because, much like Iron Man, he's the sort of comic book hero who epitomizes a gadget freak. Seriously, he's a guy who's poured his life, savings and genius into developing toys that allow him to fight alongside Superman, let alone take a phone call without his cell connection dropping.
But ironically enough, this eBay-buyable Batmobile, a converted 1973 Opal, is filled with tech that's been out of use for well over a decade. (Superman's grandma has a newer cellphone than this 'superhero.')

For more than a quarter-century, Claremont Rug Company's catalogs have offered one of the very few opportunities retail customers have to study extraordinary examples of this art form. 'The catalog consistently receives considerable praise from clients and collectors alike,' Winitz said. 'Actually, rare book dealers seek out and sell our older catalogs, a further affirmation of the serious global interest in major antique Oriental rugs.'
