Stopped by an estate sale and found all this for $5.00
The Time radio is cool.
Most of the tins are from the 1960's/early 1970's.
Check out the price of the red STP gas treatment tin ($0.49 cents)
THE FIREWAX TIN IS WORTH SOME CASH

That's a good haul for the money all right!
Heh heh...a few more decades of this and you might have some space issues...

I won't date myself with the usual comments about the music and tapes, but I *will* say that the gas can (without today's safety/enviro BS) is a very nice find. I'd put it into service.

2. Vintage 1976 Electrohome model C24-301 Color 9" Portable TV - Made in Japan, nice shape, Regular price was $349 back in the day. - $5.00
(TV came with the elusive Sony AN-15 UHF Antenna I needed for my 1969 Sony Trinitron)
3. 7 vintage Auto tins including 3 unopened Oil cans - $15.00

Rob.- I bet that RunDMC album is worth some money.
The Hot Wheels isn't circa- '68 manufacture you know (this from a guy who had one in '68
) but it's still a swell buy for a quarter.
Heh heh, seeing those cassettes brings back the smell of '70s-vintage home audio!

Ah, digging that Sony clock! I had one for sooo long that the sound of it is permanently ingrained. Even bought a modern flip-clock (just try to find a decent one these days <_< ) so I could experience it again, though it doesn't sound quite the same.
Does that '72 work OK?
