Anything rare here, or at least something someone here can use? Aircraft type IDs?

The 4th photo (second listing) is a Norden bomb sight. I'm not quite sure what the unit attached to the top right of it is. It's not in particularly good condition, but they typically sell for over $5k.

The other instruments are pretty generic. The turn coordinator is applicable to about every airplane between 1940 and 1960 when they got "whiter" face markings.

Total fuel quantity gauge is probably out of a jet. I wouldn't give more than about $5 for any of that stuff except for the beat-up Norden. The Norden nowadays would probably cost as much to pack and ship as it is worth (to me).

If they're in Cali make sure/don't tell anyone if they have radium marking paint.

Second (bombsight) for $180.
Third for $65.
