Many of you probaby remember the thread where I showed you pics of some really great items Ben sent me.

For over a month, I've been meaning to post about a 2nd box of goodies he sent me a couple weeks later, but I didn't have the time to get the pics together. Enjoy!
The actual proforma invoice from Nintendo for the leather jacket in the previous thread. It's almost like having the instruction book that went with a game, heh heh.
A special pin that was given to NOA employees during the whole Dragon Warrior craze. It was given to GPCs that made it through DW.
Front and back of a ticket to Nintendo's Private Party at E3 '96. In Ben's words, it is aPretty neat!ticket/invitation to the Nintendo formal private party that I got when I did the E3 show in LA in 1996 where we first showed the N64. I had bought a suit just for that damned show but then we ran behind setting up our huge display area so I ended up working rather than going to the party. I think they had Cir De Sole perform.
A Killer Instinct Gold baseball cap. Doesn't look like it's ever been used at all.
A Nintendo golf towel. It's in great shape, but this next item wasn't:
It's a golf glove that was in the velcro pocket at the top of the golf towel, the leather had gotten all died up and crusty.
Ok, and now for the crazy stuff:
A Super Famicom, but look at the number on the box, #49.
And look at the label on the system:
According to Ben, this was used for Nintendo's ELMO cataloging system. This was system #49 that was registered with NOA's ELMO syste. So obviously, there were others, but here's an inside of the box pic:
In Addition to the SFC, here's some pics more pics of the games he sent with it. To quote Ben,Super Mario World. Note the EEPROM. Yes, a first party Nintenod proto! Labeled #29."If I remember right, those are preproduction protos. We got some advanced
copies from Japan prior to the SNES being released. The labels were for the checkout system. I think it was for the ELMO Team. After we got our production SNES stuff in we stopped using the Japanese
versions.
Pilot WIngs. Has production Label, but EEPROM inside. Also Came with commercial box and instructions. WEIRD! Labelled #8
F-Zero. No EEPROM, but it did have the commercial box and tray. Labelled #18.
I think that was everything. I thought you'd like to see these. I'll try to get the games dumped soon so you can test if they are any different.
