- Small round silver metal 5 cm camera lens attachment with small horizontal runners that slide into the base on the tops of most cameras. This lens is most likely a specifically-adjusted sight for a larger lens, based on the small size and the presence of a black rectangle printed on the glass of the lens.The box consists of a white cardboard body with a partially torn housing inside for the lens that slides horizontally into a green cardboard sleeve. The green section has a narrow strip of adhesive tape around it, blocking most of the text on both the top and bottom - a small white rectangular price tag with “10.20” written on it in blue ink also obscures the text on the box.

- Square black plastic tool with a clear window in the top and a translucent window on an angle at the front - visible through the top window is an angled mirror, not accessible, so that light can move through the tool. Housed in a cardboard box with several scratched out things written on the lid - only “staples” is legible. The tool could be used to preview slides/negatives by placing them on the translucent window and placing the tool underneath a direct light source such as a lamp. Alternatively, the tool could be used as a precise light focus magnifier during photograph development/enlargement.
