So many things are my favourite...i love the book with wild notes on the pages by the original owner in fountain pen from 1895 (with name and address in the front) and the charity badge sold in 1945 in Maribyrnong (in Melbourne)...Woz has a newspaper from the day he was born....but here's a few pics (without having to go into cupboards).
These Berkley / Webb dolls were popular culture from the late '60's and early 70's...on the right is an old bottle with the original label (A gallon of laxitive!!!) a tabacco tin, a canasta card set from the 50's
These dolls I've been collecting for a while...I now have 15. I buy them from op shop...most of them for about $5...one I brought myself because of it's rarity for $30...they are worth $25-50 now..
Woz got this the other day...just one of those unusual pop. culture things...it is an alcohol decanter...when you lift out the decanter it plays a tune...very tacky and cool

I forgot to mention that Woz brought a lot of the Berkley dolls for me...he knew I liked them and brought me about 6 and that was the start of my collection.....
I then investigated them and now if I see them I buy them.....they are fragile and will only increase in value. _________________ "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative" (Oscar Wilde).

will have some more goodies for your perusal in the next couple of days Alice.
Have been busy percuring some gear from the UK in the past weeks. Not kombi of coarse, just cottage pottery stuff. was cheaper to get it from the UK including postage than what it was to get in oz.
