  Here are some of the items:
  
  * Three Lego Beetles that are in plastic very good condition in red black and grey
  * A plastic red fire truck and a tanker that is red with written "Esso" on it and other small size Lego plastic trucks
  * The Lego set 810 with all the items inside
  * Another big wooden box of Lego
  * Box number 750 containing some architectural buildings
  
  Instructions are included with each box.
