From left to right:
Centuri Model Rocket Super Bond Glue
Estes knife (X-Acto blade) sharpening stone
Estes Rocket Wax with different colored tops
Estes High Heat Aluinum Paint
Estes Astroseal Balsa Filler (with nice Mars Snooper drawing on the label)
Estes branded Ohaus rocket scale
Centuri 1st generation parachute powder
Centuri Second Generation Rocket powder
Estes 631-PNC-40H rubber nosecone for BT40 tubing, from 1963 catalog
Estes Space Corps Pin
Centuri Engine Spacing Tube
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, I recall some kits in recent years as including the engine spacing tube, albeit without any marking - certainly without Centuri marking
