My brother found a box I left in his garage attic 29 years ago....some bike stuff..

So, I was visiting my older brother in Grafton, Wisconsin, the week before last. Haven't really been back to SE WI, since I moved to CA in 1990. Turns out I still had a box of stuff that I could not bring with me back then, with him.
I opened the box after packing it 29 years and found a few interesting cycling items in it.........

The Peugeot owner's manuals that came with my 1984 Peugeot PSVs. One from the first one that I had to return under warranty because of a weird problem elwith the head tube bulging' collapsing on itself 5hst the dealer could not figure out why it was doing it, and the other for the bike ths PSV they gave me in exchange. Interesting thing is, the dealer affixed an identical model label on it as the one found on the NDS chainstay of the bike. Good thing as I can put it on the bike to replace the one that I took off, back in the late 80's. Nice to see the dealer's decal applied to the manual too, and the dealer's business card still with the manual.
It completes the record on my bike as I also still have the receipt from the dealer.
I also found these in the box:

The Sachs/Huret Multito odometer that I purchased for the PSV, but only used for 256 miles, as I replaced it with an Avocet20 computer, very shortly after.
Also in the box was a pair of Cinelli branded (Most likely made by Ciclo Linea) toe strap pull buttons. Also did not stay too long on the PSV, as I bought my first pair of LOOK clipless pedals, the year after I bought the bike.
I also found the first pair of cleated cycling shoes in the box. Mesh Diadoras. Still in pretty decent condition, but they seem too look to small now to fit on my feet. Could not bring them back to CA with me as my bags were already overweight, but my brother is shipping them to me, along with a few non-bike related items in the box.
So, did any of you ever discover old cycling stuff you forgot you still have l? And what interesting things did you rediscover??
