In O scale 1/4" = a foot, some of it might , like the stools, the clock.  Pretty well all the rest in this scale 1/2 = 1 foot G scale , would be hand made by somebody who is extemely skilled.

I never modeled in this G scale so I cannot tell you what is available.  Anything like this is usally made by a modller working in his basement and decides to make extras.  90% of whats available in model railroading hobby is a COTTAGE INDUSTRY, little guys working away at home on a product line .

Same applies to hot rodding where guy designs a part then tries to market it usually thru back pages of street rood magazines,  in small ads , because the bigger ads will put you out of business with the costs.

here I can say exactly where these parts come from;  these are O scale

the pool table with balls cast onto surface was cast in lead , in 3 pieces ,  the cue rack on the wall same.  The rear cabinet was cast in dental plaster. The barbers chair stools were cast in lead and raised up with wood dowels.   The front cabinet for the barber was cast in dental plaster, a wood support was made for the back and silver furnace tape was used as a mirror .  The coke container was made in resin..   The two figures who look like George Costanza and Cosmo Kramer from Seinfield are lead castings.
