Part 2/6:
The collection begins with a series of boxes filled with seemingly random pieces of metal. Many items appear weathered and corroded, hinting at their long-standing exposure to the environment. Heavy, rusty tools and fragments emerge as the collector carefully sifts through the clutter. There's a palpable sense of discovery, as each piece tells a silent story of industrial or domestic life gone by.
Several broken tools, including wrenches and drill bits, are examined closely. The collector notes the disintegration of certain items, like a large wrench that crumbled upon inspection—testament to the age and possibly the poor storage conditions. Others are characterized by their corrosion and decay, resembling relics from a bygone era.
