I have just been watching a British programme on Sky called "Cash in the attic" and it got me thinking about what we hoard for years and years and never want to get rid of.

Has anyone on C.S. got a "treasure" that really should be ditched, is it worth anything ,or is it just sentimental value.

Perhaps we could do a swop shop on C.S. gift

Valuations given on request.

I have these beer steins. They have the days of the week in German on them. When I was a contractor (home improvement) They were in a house Me and my team had to punchout. (GUT) The date is visible on them, and they are in mint condition, and there are seven. The date is 1922. I also got a vase heavy as hell. With monks on it, the signature is in another language. And a wood and copper jewelry box, but it is the Taj Mahal. And a doll, native american... so old I am scared to touch her. clothes are real swede, and she has a baby on her back.

My grandmothers porch swing.

It's old and falling apart. I have no place to hang it but I just can't seem to part with it because the last time I got to be with my grandmother before she died ... we sat on the porch swing talking like best friends.
