Looking for... your old crap!

xchrisv

Hey all, I’m looking for some vintage gear ephemera for a photoshoot – doesn’t have to be functioning, but we’re after such things as old curly cables, cheap catalogue amps, vintage mics, old cases, case candy  and the like. 40s/50s/60s preferred. Drop me a direct message if you have anything you think might be suitable and we can take it from there...

Did case candy exist in the 40s, 50s and 60s?

Most old blues men had a handful of blackjacks and a sherbet dib dab in there for emergencies.

It wasn't sherbet in those bags, it was an entirely different white powder.

I've actually seen everything from Fender-branded match books to screwdrivers, fingerboard oil and all kinds of things from the golden era. Collectors pay a tonne of money for the hang tags and suchlike.

There might be cash available for the right stuff!

Somebody local to me has been known to purchase guitar-branded mugs, Zippo lighters and even a softball in a presentation pack. I have no idea what he has done with them.
