Assorted Ball Bearings and Fasteners in Plastic Case

The image displays a collection of mechanical components, primarily two angular contact ball bearings and an assortment of fasteners and small metal parts, all contained within a clear, rigid plastic case. Each main bearing features a dark grey or black outer race and a metallic, likely steel, inner race. The visible seals on the bearings are dark, possibly rubber or synthetic, and appear to have some minor dirt or residue accumulation on their surface, suggesting they are either used or have been stored without optimal protection. One of the bearings has 'KML' visible on its inner surface, indicating a potential manufacturer. Scattered around and within the bearings are various small components including bolts, nuts, and possibly small clamps or hose clamps, one of which has a reddish-brown element, perhaps an oxidized nut or a plastic component. The fasteners exhibit signs of wear, such as scuffs and minor discoloration, consistent with being previously used or stored in a way that allows for minor oxidation/patina. The clear plastic case itself is rectangular and has internal dividers, however, the components are not neatly compartmentalized but rather loosely arranged within one section. The case shows some scuffing and dirt, particularly around the edges and on the lid, indicating its age and handling. The overall condition suggests that these are not new, pristine parts, but rather components that have been salvaged, used, or are part of a repair kit. The items appear to be made of steel or other common industrial metals, with some plastic or rubber elements for seals and possibly other small parts. The aesthetic is purely functional, with no decorative aspects. No specific manufacturing dates are visible, but the wear and combination of parts suggest a utilitarian purpose, likely for machinery, automotive, or industrial applications. The craftsmanship appears standard for industrial components.
