Boy, you seem to have a serious V.U.V. (vintage utility vehicle) fetish! :)
Here is some more urban archeology from the town of Laingsburg:

Authentic interior of rental property home used for crew lodging.
A lamp:

Shelf at the Biltong store:

At the market:

These Rose's products might be familiar to the Brits, but I've never seen them in the US. I wonder what "Kola Tonic" is like. The "6% juice blend" on the label does not sound too promising, though.

More from the "vintage packaging still on the supermarket shelf" department:

This seems to be an African classic.

Heard of, but never seen this product:

...for babies (not the matches!).

...this is MY preferred "gripe water"! Not a top-of-the-line product, but does the trick, sipped with an ice cube, after a long day in the desert.

To anyone who has been trying to contact me, my e-mail woes have returned, I have been unable to open my "new mail", or send any messages for the third day now. If urgent, pm me here on TC, please. I hope my e-mail will be available again soon. If not, I will get home on the 14th/15th, and reply then.
