    That would be an interesting TV show concept.

    The antique furniture was kept in rooms that I think had not been used in many years.
    Large PC monitors and Windows 98 on desks were in there including commodore 64 and floppy disks.

    There was no sign of any modern technology except for a 15 year old TV in the lounge.

    Due to the amount of Vodka bottles I think his death was drink related.

    Or as my late mother use to say when asked how someone had died, she would say "Short of Breath":rolleyes:

    The Commodore 64 might find a home among gamers who play legacy systems. They want old tube TVs too, because old games look really funny on new sets.

    As to the vodka bottles, some potato farmers somewhere are sad that they have lost a good customer.

    A little more from the current clearance.
    I think this is his grannies WWII German ID papers, made of cloth.
    Notice the Swastikas have been covered after the war, I put a light behind the brown patch and it showed through.

    Those are sad, but interesting survivals. Some of my family was from the part of Prussia that was really Poland; from the names I wonder if her family was too . The handwriting back then was so much better than mine...not that it would take much!
