- A brown paper grocery bag with a serrated top. Printed on the front in black is an image of men unloading a truck in front of a store that has “ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED” on the right and “Quality Food” in cursive underneath. Printed below the image is “WHITE GROCETERIA (Jock McCowan, Prop.) GROCERIES FRUITS VEGETABLES PHONE 68 BANFF, ALTA.” White Groceteria opened in October 1948 and closed ca. 1986-1987. It was located on Banff Avenue in the Dave White Block until a new building was constructed across the street from the Whyte Museum on Bear Street in the mid-1980s, at which point the grocery was moved and renamed Keller’s.

- Decorative commemorative plate depicting an image of Mt. Eisenhower [Castle Mountain] with trees and the Bow River in the foreground in the depressed center of the plate - pink, purple, yellow, and green flower clusters decorate the rest of the plate and the edge of the plate is lined with gold.Castle Mountain [Miistukskoowa] was renamed Mt. Eisenhower in 1946 by Prime Minister Mackenzie King in honour of General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s involvement in World War II. Some local residents resented the name change and in 1979 it was reverted back to Castle Mountain, with the southeast end kept “Eisenhower Tower.”

- View-Master 2D projector with its paper ephemera in the original box along with a box of View-Master colour slides in another box.The projector is brown metal with a small lens sticking out the front, a wide slot for the slides between the lens and the bulb, and a small housing with ventilation slats on top that can be removed to expose the light bulb and inner focussing lens. At the back of the projector is the brown power cord, a small white plastic power switch, and a metal screw attached to a rubber foot underneath that can be turned to adjust the height of the projector - attached to the screw is a paper price tag with a piece of string. Other items in the box with the projector are a user’s manual and various adverts for View-Master slides. The box has a deep black body and a white and silver lid. The box of View-Master slides contains 62 round slides in individual paper sleeves, a small green plastic-covered book on Alpine Wildflowers, and View-Master advertising pamphlets. The slides mostly pertain to tropical locations and National Parks throughout North America - all appear to have been purchased, rather than made by the Crosby family. The box has a black body and a shiny gold lid.
