Old things

[Legion]

The late 70's, and my childhood dream was to have a complete set of KISS bubblegum cards, so I could turn them over and see the jigsaw puzzle on the back in all its glory. Didn't even get close.

XXyears later, someone invents a little thing called ebay, and I had a credit card.

I love old things. Keep the pics coming. I treasure my late father’s butchering hooks. They are in my shed. My parents were migrants to Australia. They came here to escape communist Yugoslavia with a travel chest containing pillows, blankets and Sunday clothes. Nothing else - apart from a 1500 sterling pound debt for passage (2 adults, 3 children, l was born here 12 years later). Amazing people. Resilient. Imagine leaving everything behind to go to the end of the world. Old stuff tells a story.

But the way, @Legion, I loved my KISS choker! Destroyer and Alive II turned me on to music and particularly, rock and roll, at the age of 8. Wish I still had that choker!

I still have my Dennis the Menace cereal spoon I got for mailing in some Kellogg's Frosted Flakes boxtops about 62 years ago. It's a bit tarnished. No, I don't use it anymore LoL

Some of my early memories are of bouncing on my bed playing air guitar to I Was Made For Loving You. And getting my face painted like Gene Simmons at local fetes, along with a hundred other little kids. The KISS army was strong in Australia.

I still have my Snoopy spoon from when I was little. My daughter uses it now.

Now I feel really old!
That was released in 1979, the year my daughter was born, and she's 45 now.

Picked this rather unusual very Rare Antique Victorian Wine Carafe quite a few years ago never seen another like it.

Ah... I'm pretty sure that isn't what you think it is. The only wine that went in that was, well..., er..., processed.

Your "wine" carafe

I didn’t want to say it!

I may be mistaken, but I think he intended it as a joke.

I still have all my marbles, no matter what my wife thinks . I made the bag myself. I can’t imagine the miles these travelled on my bike going from place to place playing.

I couldn't tell. He seemed so convincing in his belief...

The Internet, making it really easy to say things with a straight face since it was invented.

Yes! I had one of those.

These three tiny stone monkeys (intent on avoiding evil) have been following me around since I was a very little kid. For all I know, they followed my father around since his childhood.

Very old... now I'll probably lose them next week.
