This was with it, so I'd assume it's also from Bali. Not sure what this thing is either.

Not 100% sure when these were all made, but the flags make me think sometime prior to WWII. After Pearl Harbor nothing with the Japanese flag on it was going to sell very well in the US

Been watching your threads for a few days now, thanks a tonne - OP.

How much more do you have, for curiosity sake? (photos)
What's your favorite of the collection?
Is Egyptian the majority of it? Seems to be a very diverse collection.
Are you going to do, like a collection of all the photos and then upload a zip of them? Or something similar?

I'm actually almost tapped out. There are alot of stone tools I didn't post because they weren't that impressive compared to the other ones, but I'm running low on /his/-related material. The egyptian stuff I posted is all there was. The VAST majority of this collection, probably 48 of the 51 drawers are minerals, fossils, and interesting (some only to the late Mr. Bruner himself) rocks, along with a few zoological specimens here and there.

If I had to pick a favorite thing in this collection, I think I'd have to say the mineral specimens from Leadville, Colorado. Mr. Bruner was able to get down there during the mining heyday and snag some choice specimens before they ended up in the smelter. There's a guy who reads the threads on /an/ who's told me all about the silver and lead ore mining out there, and apparently galena, cerussite, and native silver is rarer than gold at the Leadville sites these days. We're really lucky to have them. The mummy wrappings seem to be the most popular specimens with most people though, the second they see the label they get really excited.

>>1754507
Minerals were easily my favorite part too, specifically the green bubbly one, cannot remember what it was exactly.

You've got the best job.

Might be chrysocolla or malachite.

>Are you going to do, like a collection of all the photos and then upload a zip of them? Or something similar?

I've been asked that before, I've honestly been thinking that the archived threads do a better job of recording all of this since they've got the text with them anyway. Trying to zip all these photos into one thing would be a bit of a hassle and they wouldn't have as much information with them.

>>1752885
Wow, what a treat, I absolutely love Bali stuff. Thanks OP.

Amazing. Keep up the good work.

Nope.
The abbos never got that far. No handles on their tools.
It's Pacific Islander.

I think those are hand colored black and white photos. That was a thing for a while.
