Mechanical and technical items consist of a boxed Electric Razor Adaptor Kit, a circular gauge marked VOLT, long-handled metal tongs, a chrome-plated multi-tool, and a retractable measuring tape. Timepieces include a brass-cased alarm clock and a black cardboard box labelled VOYAGER CLOCK. Personal effects comprise a beaded drawstring evening purse, a carved wooden shoehorn featuring a canine-head terminal, a red glass bottle with a metal stopper, and a pink paper-wrapped package printed with Best Large and Old English. The items are housed in two simple wooden trays.
