My goodness, me up in my attic, cleaning it out---well---suppose to be getting rid of all the junk, problem is, it ain't junk to me, it is treasure. I throw it in a 'save box', d pulls it out and says 'nope' and it is thrown away. Dolls, must have pulled out over a hundred and they ARE saved. My old hand crank inc cream maker, saved. MOTHER EARTH NEWS, old copies, saved. Folks I am having a blast! But here is the best, my three copies of 78 rpm records with GENE AUSTIN, who was Gene Austin? THE Elvis of the wee 1900's from Waterproof, La and yes as a wee tot, I met him and one of the records its the AUTOGRAPHED one, a most collectors item. Gene (I met him once so I can call him Gene) use to rent entire hotels for parties in NYC, he was THE ladies man.

I have been finding stuff as I clean the basement, although nothing as vintage as your items (we have only been here since 1980).
