Most Treasured Possession of No Financial Value

Post by Clive Evans »

I wondered if you mob had a treasured possession that had little or no monetary value (PLEASE do NOT tell us about the Faberge eggs or Ming vase- as I will pop round and nick such items! ). Wives, kids or concubines do not come into this category either- as thread would quickly become a bore thread.
Mine is a smallish photo I have in my hall of my Great Grandparents on their Wedding Day 1856.
Over to you lot!!!

Mont Blanc pen that my father used to write his wife’s birthday card, knowing he wouldn’t live long enough to deliver it himself.

Probably a book of prayers called "It's me oh Lord" signed by every member of the Church Youth Club and given to me when I joined the Merchant Navy in 1972. It's been packed in every suitcase, holdall, backpack or bag I've ever packed to go away on travel for business or leisure and into hospital, when I've gone in there for operations.

I have a matchbox toy car from when I was a toddler. So I reckon it must be getting on for about 35 years old now.

A pair of Calvin Klein boxer shorts which were part of a “moving abroad” pack from my father when I left my home country just shy of 20 years ago at the age of 18. More holes in them than your average golf course these days however!
