The JBL 15" with the big L Jim Lansing decal on the rib was made between 1953 and 1956; we can nail it down closer with the serial number. Likewise the JBL components in the other box, someone here with access to the serial number registry should be able to help you out. The bowtie horn is pretty rare; is it a Racon? That old Jensen enclosure is super cool and may be considered a valuable collectible overseas.
