There are pictures of many of the items but, rather than have readers waiting a long time for all of the pictures to come in, I leave it to you to click on "view" to pull down photos of the items which interest you. Some of the pictures are a bit dark when viewed at my regular "working brightness" but just turning up the brightness shows the details far better.
