lot#4 Viewmaster Collection, Circa 1940

I used to enjoy sharing these photos of various aspects of Americana.    Time to let them go.   There are, at least,  several hundred of them, and there are four viewfinders still in their original box included.





lot #3 Hammond Typewriter

I bought this in the early late seventies in NH and had hoped to use it to write my novel.  Notice, it hasn't been used very much.     It is circa 1890.       Comes with the original wooden case.






Lot #2 - Hoods Milk Bottles

Believe it or not, I bought these milk bottles and did not drink the milk. Five of these bottles have never been opened - they still have the original paper cap. The milk evaporated. If you shake the bottle, you can hear the milk powder inside.
