Photography, Drafting Tools, and Other Vintage Collectibles

Item Details

This diverse collection of Americana spans over a century of history, featuring significant items from both the Victorian and Mid-Century eras. Highlights include a set of 19th-century Tintype photographs depicting formal portraits, housed alongside an antique velvet-lined drafting set with brass and steel instruments. The 20th-century components include a Kodak Brownie 8mm movie camera with its original tan leather carrying case, and a well-preserved Beattie Jet Lighter—a specialized pipe lighter featuring an ‘Engine Turned’ chrome finish and its original retail box. The collection is rounded out by a vintage edition of Napoleon Hill’s ‘Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude,’ several bags of assorted glass marbles, and various manual drawing and grooming tools. This lot offers a comprehensive look at evolution in personal technology, leisure, and professional artistry.
