- Description
- Dull grey metal flood/spotlight used in studio settings for film-making or photography. The main body of the light is shaped like a small barrel - one end has a carved crystal bordered in thick cord and the other has a door that opens by pushing a small button in order to access the light bulb inside. The centre of the door features the Bardwell & McAlister Inc. logo. The barrel also has housing attached to the top and bottom - one contains a lever that, when pushed from side to side, moves the light bulb inside closer to or further from the crystal. Attached to the front on either side of the crystal are brackets where a filter can be fit; a Y-shaped support can be rotated 180 degrees and is adjusted by a handle on one side; an on/off switch sits in a raised metal bracket on one side, and near the switch the power cord feeds out of the barrel - the cord is wrapped in grey fabric and is coiled up and attached to the support with a short length of rope. Attached to the power cord is an orange fabric bag with a wire drawstring that contains a silver metal cylinder that could possibly be an attachment for the support.

- Description
- Model of the Santa Maria ship on a base - the Santa Maria was the largest of the three Spanish ships Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The ship has three masts with cross-masts bearing their own individual sails, all of which are painted - the foremost one has the image of two monarchs in a red oval surrounded by yellow rays, the mid-ship sail has the image of a red cross with a banner above it bearing the name of the ship, and the aft one has an oval with alternating red and white stripes. The front and middle masts also have smaller flags at the tops - the flag for the aft mast has come off and is on the raised deck behind the mast. The main body of the ship is painted red and blue and a cannon is pointing out the side - a hole on the other side suggests there was a second one but is now missing. There is a red-painted wooden lantern at the back. The whole ship sits on a wooden support.
