Box has arrived. As received:
My take:
Slim pickins, but that's par for the course. And I definitely recognize some stuff I added from my last go-around.
I'll try to get it in the mail in a day or two. New box definitely needed.

It would have made it past me. I have never been fond of drillium on brake calipers. I've never seen any I thought complemented the original piece (not talking about execution - consider the lovely work in Jon WIlliams' and DD's galleries), and the potential for catastrophic failure just seems too great.

Yeah, I have a mate for it, and I'm tempted to finish the drillium.
And I have an address for osiris419, so it should go out today. I got a new box, and added the reinforcers (thanks to whoever added those!). I left it as a blank slate for future artwork though.

Wow, they must have really roughed up the new box I sent. Make sure you re-use the inner corner reinforcers.

Box has landed. I gotta sort through it a bit, but will upload the crap I took out in a day or so.

Here's my take. Simplex shifters, Huret FD, unknown brand pedals, Minoura butt rocket style cage holders, cateye light, Altus RD, and saddle bag. Messaging tricky, will send out Saturday.

BTW, box was shipped out today, took longer than expected since I had to mull through things I wanted to add but had trouble fitting everything. Hope someone finds use in my leftovers. Postal workers taped everything up like a mummy.

Per @mountaindave 's request. 
Box as received:
My haul:
I was inspired by the fork leg bottle openers and am going to try and do the same with the scary drillium stem. The derailleur is probably going on my 80's Mongoose ATB as well as the pedals. The seatpost binder is just a spare since that always seems to be the one random piece that holds up my builds. Fun stuff...
Just put it at our receptionist's desk. Should only take a day to get over to Port Angeles, WA and Lascauxcaveman. Side note: This is the first package I have ever received from Hawaii! And cool stickers GhostSS!

Do be careful with that stem. I got it from John Pergolizzi in one of his "mystery" boxes. I don't know if that counts as "provenance" or not...
