I have my great grandfathers carver chair, my grandfathers pocket watch ( holding for my son) and my late fathers prismatic compass he used as a scout.
It's all of sentimental value rather than monetary.

Was born in 1946 and had just reached walking age when I crawled under a thick Geraldton Wax tree on my parents farm and found this bronze "Bulldog" (Originally it had a brass screw radiator cap which I cut off later and had it chromed because I played Aussie Rules football for the red & whites, Bulldogs. Mounted it on the bonnet of my first car an old VW Beetle.)
Back to my early years; Played with this bulldogs as a kid until one day I dropped it on my foot breaking several toes, my mother hurled it back into the Wax Bush and there it stayed until I found it again when I was about 10yo.
Just Googled the Mack Truck beginning and this is what I found. Maybe worth contacting Mack???
Not one to be idle for long, during his recovery, Masury hand-carved the first model of the now iconic Bulldog hood ornament out of a bar of soap. Once released from the hospital, Masury applied for a patent on his design. The patent was granted Oct. 11, 1932.

You might be onto something there mate.
As you you know, some magpie supporters are quite rich as they have never spent any money on dental hygiene.

Still got a full box of Buck Rogers trading cards from 1979 (amongst other scifi collectables), doubt whether the chewing gum strip would still be chewable. Though the gum still smells good, just like I remember it in the day. Ahh, the buying power of 20c!

Like many of you, I have stacks of old coins, many in albums, but lots not, collected over many years. I have given up hope of finding that "big find" like a 1930 penny. Also the introduction of decimals, sort of killed much of the interest.
