Found this vintage Hawes Simplex cleaner tin.
I havent seen another one like it.
Maybe early 1950's ? It has a paper label.

I always have a hard time believing how pristine these electronic items seem to be. That boom box look like it was almost never used.
Usually those things are pretty beat up and have obvious wear marks on them where the buttons are.

3. Vintage tins and weedwacker twine - $3.00
4. JVC M-70 Boombox Ghettoblaster - $15.00 (worth $400-$500)
Cassette and radio work perfect. Few nics and scratches but nothing major.

Neat boom box with shortwave bands, you didn't see that very often in the US or Canada. If you wanted such a radio you usually either had to find one in one of the big NYC electronics outlets or order by mail.
@Robb...can you tell me the SW band coverage on that JVC ?

Went to an old furniture store today . Closed down after 60 years. I like picking through junk. The guy gave me this 1979 plate for free because I was born in march 1979. Also got a 1992 consumers distributing catalog for free, worth $50 minimum. Im going to return next week because its too jammed in the back. Hes got all kinds of vintage automotive stuff!!
Went to as estate sale today... prices were very high (near retail) on most things ! I did manage to find a couple toy cars for 25 cents each.
