A mixed lot of vintage collectibles and ephemera. The collection includes an assortment of vintage binoculars, featuring a pair in a black textured hard case with a velvet lining, a pair in a cylindrical black carry case, and a pair in a soft black nylon zip-up bag. The toy and game section contains a Chad Valley Compendium of Games in its original illustrated cardboard box, which also displays branding for Spear’s Games Scrabble on the side. A blue plastic tray holds various boxed card games, including Kan-U-Go: The Crossword Card Game and an Original Happy Families card game. The ephemera consists of a large quantity of loose vintage black and white photographs, including studio portraits and informal snapshots, together with a printed Leicester-Birstall Bus Time-Table. Completing the lot is a small rectangular picture in a dark wood frame with a gold-tone inner slip, depicting a domestic interior scene in a Dutch Old Master style with three figures in period dress.
