Is this stuff worth anything? If not we are having a yard sale we will sell them at.

    Hello, @AJKNow, and welcome! I've taken the liberty of reposting your photographs as Full Image so they're easier for everyone to see. FYI, we don't do values here as there are so many variables such as location, age and condition. Typically, we suggest posters check eBay's Completed listings which give an idea of where collector interest lies. For instance, I can't see the Petri camera model number but here's the Completed listings for Petri cameras from eBay sorted by "Price + Shipping: highest first." It does appear to be a desirable brand. If you add the model number to the search terms, you'll get a better idea of the value of your father's camera.

    I couldn't find a dupe of the Studebaker Avanti slot car on the internet. That may mean it's rare and, if so, the original box would add value.

    It's not a slot car,it's a hand push friction car.

    The Viewmaster sells for around $25 or so online. You can look up the different reels to see their value. Certain topics are more deisreable than others of course.
    As for the figurines, just from the pictures, I think they were pretty run of the mill and a LOT of them were produced. The two larger ones look like vintage home interior or the like. Not a lot of value there. The lady in pink could be chalkware or someone's home ceramics project. More value there if she is vintage chalkware.
