The army boots were used by my Godfather's Farther during The 2nd World War, he was a mechanic during the war, they are of a very excellent condition.

:thumbsup: And meet Debbie, I dressed her up, using my old army uniform that I wore when I was with The Special Forces when I was doing my two years of army service in South West Africa, (no wonder the wife is upset with me) :thumbsup:

Anybody got anything for her to cover up? :wink:
Then I have these Boer War badges, they used to belong to my Great Grand Father who was George Henry Mason, who took part in The Boer War.

The horse shoe is coming out slowly, ground is too hard, had to use the small spade slowly.

I think it's a nice collection. I see a lot of items that are not junk, I see pieces of history. I but some museum would love to have your stuff, perhaps if you can't find someone to past them on to it may be an option for the future.

Great "man cave". I can't spot any junk either! I have an idea that COULD change the way she looks at your collection. :tard: Pick out a couple of pieces of "junk" every once in a while and sell them. Then buy her something nice with the procedes. Also, it would open up somemore space for more junk!! :tongue3: :thumbsup: P.S. I like Debbie! :love4:
