I've got the first 20 editions of The Beatles Book.  Unfortunately I used to tear out the middle page photo to pin on my wall, so the books aren't all complete !

I've got my dad's medals.  Not so much collected, though.  More 'handed down'.

I've always loved wind up clocks, have several working ones down in my Perth house. I love my old Grandfather Clock it has such a lovely deep tick. Don't have the chime on as it's a bit loud, especially during the night.

Hi Raven,   I have got an old chiming clock,  but a mantel piece one,  not a Grandfather one.
I can set it on either Westminster or Whittington chimes, and it chimes every 15 mins.
I bought it 52 years ago,  and it was already old then,  so God knows its true age.
I love that old clock,  but it harder to find proper clock menders nowadays.   
If you can't plug something in,  or it hasn't got batteries,  there's not a lot of help anymore.

I've also got lots of old memories from years ago.   Old photos,  my Dad's medals from the Air Force, letters from my Mum,  a school report from when my son was in Junior school, along with his baby identity bracelet from when he was born in hospital, and even some puppy's milk teeth from dogs I loved and lost years ago.
