Be worth a bob or two that, but probably cash couldn't buy it.

Re: Have you got anything old in your home

Yes you are right it will go to my son one day. The model i have to be fair isnt worth a mega amount but still about £600 so its better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick .

Re: Have you got anything old in your home

A bread saw that was given to my Auntie as a wedding present .......she died aged 90 some 25 years ago so, not sure how old, but it must be coming up to (or maybe past) its' centenary.
The Handle is a bit wobbly but the blade is still as good as ever.
Next to that, I have a dishwasher circa 1943, his name is David
