So, after the previous blog posts at the Library back home where I'm tackling the boxes of random shit problem. 

I unpacked 2 boxes, about as much trauma as I can endure per day.

Finds included: 

  • 1 broken antique telephone (sadly it might have broken on my watch, now good only for mixed media parts)
  • 1 Medalta Crock-Pot lid
  • 2 bottles of lavender essential oil
  • 1 bottle of orange essential oil
  • 1 bottle of wild oregano essential oil
  • 1 sonic denture cleaner, new in box (bought for rocks)
  • coloured contacts (searched, not good after 10 years, glad I checked)
  • 1 bottle Tylenol
  • 2 tweezers, 2 nail clippers
  • 1 badger-hair barber brush (for shaving)
  • 1 hand-blown glass toothbrush holder...
  • 1 razor, disposable
  • 5 antique calipers
  • 1 bottle linseed oil
  • 1 plastic container filled with flints and springs from discarded disposable lighters
  • 1 filter for vintage 35 mm camera
  • pack of 4 flashbulbs
  • 1 thing you look through, stereoscope, modern, plastic, suspect it was meant for watching 3D movies on phone but not sure
  • 1/4 tube Polysporin
  • 12 empty gel caps, in bottle
  • 2 (more!) jars of tiger balm
  • 1 temporary tattoo of flowers
  • 1 bottle of ink for stamp-pads
  • 1 legal embosser/stamp
  • container of model paints
  • a bunch of the old close-up lenses for phone, cheap, clip on over phone lens

That covers most of it. Now only to open and process the remaining 16 boxes...
