A vintage brown leather-bound suitcase, showing significant wear, contains a fitted plain wooden box with compartments. The wooden box holds a small, worn metal strongbox and other unidentified items. The suitcase base contains numerous metal tins, including an “OGDEN’S ST BRUNO FLAKE” tobacco tin, decorative tins with faint images, and others for products like “JENFOC.” Also present are various dark and clear glass bottles, some labeled “ACUTOL,” “DEV,” and “PATERSON PRODUCT,” indicating photographic chemicals. A metal stamping tool and general miscellany rest on aged newspaper. A separate cardboard box is packed with a collection of small metal canisters and cardboard boxes prominently marked “ILFORD” and “DEVELOPER,” with “Entwickler” (German for developer) also visible, confirming their purpose as vintage photographic darkroom supplies.
