Stuff from the Pasadena City College Swap Meet - Sunday, February 4, 2018


This is some of the softest leather I have ever touched...  Amazingly supple...  The lining is cashmere (wool)






This and the two additional designs below are NOS orange crate paper labels.



Pretty simple plastic toy car (about 1/24 scale).  What's cool is that it appears to have been made in Los Angeles (guessing about the 1950s...)




The color of this old ceramic/porcelain faucet is a very attractive shade of green...  I think the brown staining will clean up OK.  It would go well with an old porcelain sink...  I wonder if it had a sister "hot" faucet.



I've seen technical books put out by specialty companies before and most are so-so...  But this 1950 Alcoa book is extremely well done and lavishly illustrated.  In today's world, Bosch is known for doing a similarly good job with technical books...





Recently acquired toy cars...  Need to find "homes" for them somewhere in the garage...
