The Pentax camera shows visible wear with the black leatherette covering beginning to peel at the lower body corners (photo 1). The Zenit ever-ready case exhibits heavy scuffing and age-related wear to the leather surface (photo 2). The 8mm projector is missing its film reels and shows signs of long-term storage (photo 3). The Miranda bag has light surface soiling and the various leather cases show brittle stitching and scuffing (photo 4). All items are untested for mechanical or electrical function; optics have not been inspected for internal fungus or haze.
