From Long Beach Antique Swap Meet (part 2)

Overview picture of some of the junk from Long Beach (mixed in with some stuff from the Glendale Toy Show & other previously purchased junk...)





Small wide angle lens and Macro lens for a small camera...  Don't know which...  The brand is "Sun" and the case/lens is made in Japan...  Feels like it's from the 60's...

Almost all in French...

I recall seeing Vandervell sponsorship advertising from racing in the 50's/60's photographs...

This box is full of valves wrapped in wax paper...

Dome lamp from a 50's American Car (Hudson?), I think...  The lens is glass.  I think I might already have one of these in some drawer...


Interesting hardware (nuts/bolts) storage boxes.  I assume they were part of a larger dispensing rack from a hardware store...


Interesting how some of the text is in Japanese (they were sold like this in the USA several decades ago...).


In French and English...  This is "S.E.V. Marchal"...  I know Marchal from the lamps they built (head, fog, driving...).




Germany, as written in English (not "Deutschland"), but the "Imported from Germany" is in French...

Mainly bought this to get the "guy" that's missing in my other James Bond car (which is in better condition than this one...)

Very early matchbox toy with cast metal wheels...

Don't know if this was part of a larger toy or was separate... It's made of a soft plastic/rubber type of material but looks like it's pretty old...  For something so small and simple, it's very well modeled/made...

Don't even know where Searchlight, Nevada is...  Had to look it up...  near the bottom tip of Nevada...



Some sort of paper sales/transaction ledger file...  Entries are from 1956-1957...  Amazingly well made and designed...
