Hi all,

I was just reading about this ancient wooden household fridge (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Vintage1930s-Wooden-Fridge-for-Restoration-/400169128057). Does anyone here have any particularly interesting items of furniture in their home, office, or wherever?

RJ

My first house bought the 80's in Chester built in the 1920's had a "Cold Slab" stone fitted under the stairs, possibly these wooden fridges had not yet hit the market! Otherwise I have some older Telephony stuff, old radios and TV's would also interest me as my dad brought me up on them, in the days when I could more with an IC..... However Valve stuff is far easier to explane than semiconducter stuff!

The wooden fridge is rather interesting.
I grew up in a rural area and we had no utilities available. When my young brother was born, (1956) the folks bought a kerosene powered fridge second hand, I have no idea how old it was.
That background has given me an interest in kerosene lamps, stoves and heaters, although it is an interest only, and I do not collect them.

Went for a walk round an old mill that work have bought for redevelopment today, nice little skip find...needs a good clean but it's all there and even has an In date PAT sticker. I'm not brave enough to turn it on tho, it will still make a nice bit of retro in the man cave.

Haha, missus hasn't noticed that addition to the board yet! Sure she will at some point!
