"I’ve got a razzle from 1992. Not quite antique but it’s pretty interesting. Some of the pages are still readable 
Are some stuck together?"
A “few” . It’s mainly phone sex adverts I can read now |

I have a Gillette razor from 1961/62.
Last time I looked it up it was worth about £350. I'm not selling it though, it was my dad's and I use it today. I'll give it to one of my lads when I pop off. |

Not bothered googling them but your free to do so if you wish"
Wouldn't know where to start |

"I have a classical guitar from the 60s
I also have a early Alesis 3630 compressor from the 90s
Oh and a ps1 and N64
None of the are antiques yet, but they will be "
Totally worth hanging on to them. |

I've been on the AR before now. With a clock.
I have various things I've inherited that are probably valuable, but I'm rubbish at selling/getting rid of things because I have an emotional connection to them. |

Er, yes, I might have got a few things... My father was in the antiques business 30 years ago, and when he retired he kept all his nice stuff. Over the years he did get rid of quite a lot, but when he died last year I ended up with everything that was left. So I have a garage stacked high, a storage unit that I can hardly get through the door of, and a house that is full. Some of it is slowly selling on an internet site, with the help of a friend of mine who shares the enthusiasm for old stuff. Hopefully I will manage to thin it out considerably before I'm gone, otherwise the next generation will inherit the problem.
However, like my father did, I'll be keeping selected items either because they are just very nice or because they have taken on the status of family heirlooms. In particular, dad was very skilled himself at cabinet making, and sometimes would build an entire piece of furniture around maybe a single carved panel, or leaded lights door, that he had rescued from some otherwise totally broken item. So there are several items, the nicest of the things he made, that I really couldn't ever bear to get rid of... |

Sounds like a great collection. |

Nothing REALLY valuable, but I do have a limited edition piece of Moorcroft
Not really worth much money wise, but I have my great grandads gold fob watch and also postcards he sent to his wife and mother from the trenches in WW1 |

I've got a 20' X 10' poster from 1966 saying "1066 Battle of Hastings 1966 Bottle of Guinness". Will be worth a fortune in 2066 but I wont be around.
I should have taken it along when I went to the Roadshow a few years ago. Instead, I took something electrical which was only of passing interest so I offloaded it at a car boot sale. |
