What item do you wish you had kept?

My early motorbikes. During the early 50s and through the 60s. My Triumphs, Vincents and BSAs were a must for me. If only i had kept them til now in mint condition i would be a wealthy man.

An Anus Horribillis. :wink:

You can say that again. It has been my job ever since we married in 1969 to attend to his rear end when he was having problems. We hadn’t been married for more than a day or two, before I had to put a bag of frozen peas on it, to attempt to give him some ease!:lol:

You are wealthy with love.:lol:
I have seen them in the Motorbike museum, easy to steal.:wink:

Crikey! Was your honeymoon filmed by the Hammer House of Horror? :lol::lol:

Of course!:mrgreen:

I wish I’d kept my autograph book, my cousin worked at The Bristol Hippodrome and got me loads of autographs including Morecambe and Wise, Edmund Hockeridge, Bruce Forsythe and some I forget.

I also wish I’d kept my ID from S.Africa in the 80’s, it had my gun licence in it, I think it got left in an attic somewhere when moving along with my Pulsar Watch which someone very special gave me.

Strangely I have a photo of my gun licence.

As was mine

My two aunts used to holiday together ( they never married) during dinner they got talking to a couple at the next table who turned out to be Paul madleys parents ( a football player for Leeds United) as a kid I was mad on Leeds and a few weeks after their holiday I was sent a signed program from all the first team players even the manager Don revie, that would be worth a bit now, but goodness knows what happened to it…

I wish I had a kept a mink Jacket that had belonged to my mother. I wasn’t thinking as I was so upset. If I had kept it, I could have made two cute teddy bears with it…

Most people here are thinking how much they could sell ‘it’ for now.

A sad sign of the times?

:-(:confused:

Guilty!

Except my guitar, I would keep that forever if I could get it back.

and I would keep my camera forever if I could get it back! :smiley:

Why do we do these things? Sigh!:cry:

On a thread like this, hugely interesting I must say, why would anyone wish they had kept an item with thoughts of ebaying it? I suppose we are surrounded by such worthlessness that if we could sell something for, in real term, just a little less than we paid for it we feel chuffed for five minutes. :wink:

I bought a Victorian cape from an antique clothes shop in the early 70s and also a peculiar (material wise) coat from the 40s.

They were gorgeous and I had some lovely comments about them. I partied lots and went to dances lots, which the cape was just made for;-) I wore it so much the material started to deteriorate in parts. So I wrapped it up and put it away in the cupboard. Fast forward to 3 house moves later and I binned it.
I wish I hadn’t. :frowning:

The coat I wore daily. Dad hated it and never shut up about it every time he saw me in it. Don’t know what happened to it, but it was seriously well worn. It was such an easy coat to wear. I’d love to still have it :smiley:

It could be a signed Cliff Richard Calendar. Best to sell it I say. :lol:

I’d burn it personally…:twisted:

Just remembered the parachute silk nightie my Auntie gave my, I wonder what happened to it!

Old thread… but I wish I had kept all the spare buttons that comes with trousers and shirts! I noticed that I lost a button from one of my favourite hiking trousers when it came out of the wash :sob:
