This eclectic collectors lot features a diverse assortment of vintage memorabilia, paper ephemera, and drafting tools. The collection includes a professional Post drafting instrument set housed in its original purple velvet lined case, three vintage wooden rulers including a Westcott rule, an oversized 1926 Sesqui Centennial promotional pencil, and two decorative wooden pencil boxes, one showcasing a classic novelty miniature rifle pen inside. Additional collectibles consist of a vintage La Corona cigar box complete with vibrant interior lithograph artwork and an NRA stamp, a small glass vial containing souvenir mineral ore rocks from the Lost Gold Mine in Central City Colorado, an old glass photographic slide plate, a vintage embroidered NASA logo patch, and two historical South Vietnamese banknotes including a 5 Dong and a 20 Dong bill. As an authentic vintage group, items show expected age and wear such as minor edge splitting and corner scuffs on the cigar box, light ink wear on the rulers, natural creasing on the paper currency, and mild surface tarnishing across the metal drafting tools.
