The pumps include a white PRIMUS pump and the VITE card reads “Ready for use in 5 seconds!”, while the rim cement, the lubricant can and the paint bottles carry the Fuji name; the jewelry, which includes pendants, cuff links, buttons and a buckle with a racing cyclist motif, is the only photograph without a caption.]
