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

3. Vintage `1/2 Gallon Gas can complete with nozzle - $1

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.

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!
