When I was younger, if I walked into an antique or vintage store, I would feel immediately overwhelmed.  I see nothing but “old”stuff.  It has no value for me.  But then I read T. Davis Bunn’s trilogy of--  “Florians Gate,” “The Amber Room,” and “Winter Palace,” published in 1992 and 1993.  The plot involved antiques smuggled out of a communist nation into the free world and sold. Then the money was smuggled back to the people to buy food.  From then on I decided old was good. These old things could save lives. So we have a few old things that may buy food for somebody some day.  Chris photographed them.  We have the photos for sale on Shutterstock https://www.shutterstock.com/  and IStock https://www.istockphoto.com/.

Proverbs 27:

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
    give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,
    and a crown is not secure for all generations.
