 |
| Near the bottom of PV Drive East... |
 |
| Stopped at Marina Del Rey Bridge on the way back, just as the sun is setting... |

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... |
