I'm backwards. I can't get enough of fancy modern sleek looking gizmos and electronics to decorate my room and life with, but at the same time, i cannot get enough of antiques and old fashioned items. Picked up these two on tuesday, the small Oman Mosque box for my fancy lighters, and a nice mahogany chest for all of my smoking bits and pieces, bong, capes, this that and the other
Old wooden boxes make me very happy sure i can buy a box on ebay or whatnot. But i just love the fact that they are old, authentic, and that someone has owned them for a few generations and that there is some history behind them, whether i know what it is or not. Next paycheque, i'm off to a local antique shop where for £20 i can get a mint condition lighter from ww2 made from a shell casing. Beautiful specimin, fantastic price. Havn't had a chance to have a gooood look at it yet but it appears to be an original Imco or a predecessor of it
