The box these items come from is titled “Bass Collection - Charlie’s Office”. The box is very dusty. The objects were wrapped in paper. The paper was dusty. I could find very little in the way of provenance. I don’t remember seeing these at Charlie and Ruth’s house on Laro Dr. I’m sure they were there.
