Here’s my take—many of which (Les and Eddie, for example) I would have missed were it not for his sagelike presence…

A guitar amp made out of a wooden cigar box—complete with distortion! Handmade by this fella.

It’s a dangerous wormhole for Seattle designerds, so I’ll highlight a few pieces…

Poster for missing horse, 1891 Port of Seattle Year Book, 1936 World War II sticker, circa 1943 City Light Line Service, 1945 City Light Employee Information Book, 1945 Early coliseum plan for World's Fair, 1959 Urban Renewal Honor Award, 1960 World's Fair souvenir program, 1962 (I've got this somewhere!) Seattle Convention and Visitors Bureau logo, 1969 Seattle Center logo, circa 1973 (Whoa! Where'd that LOGO come from!?) Seattle city flag Promotional Brochure, 1976 (the brochure is "meh", it's the LOGO I like!)

But this has to be my favorite item overall:
