Or, one man's junk is a weirdo's collection.
A vintage alarm clock. It's undated, but I would assume it's at least 50-60 years old. It's still in great working order! They don't make things like they used to nowadays... If anyone could tell me how old this model is I'd appreciate it. The logo is simply a diamond and it just says "Shanghai China" (quality stuff coming out of China!!). No batteries!
A Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera. This camera also featured near the end of Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie, with Mutt holding it. It was real popular back in the 40s-50s, and eBay is full of them in much better condition than mine. It uses 620 film which is obsolete. Only specialist manufacturers make those film now, and they cost a bomb for just one roll. Oh, and look again! No batteries! :D
An unopened can of mid-80s 7UP. This is a very recent item, but it's nice to see the changes to drinking cans since the 80s. Believe it or not (especially those who're too young to remember), it's not aluminum. Try crushing one of these with your forehead :). And no, there's no 20-year-old 7UP in there, the can is empty, due to a leak. It explains why it's unopened, and also explains why it's not yet rusted through.
I got more, but best left to some other time.
