The Junk Lover

Today's junk is tomorrow's archaeology. I have collected a vast amount of things, ranging from books, newspaper cuttings, catalogues, my own photographs, picture postcards, stamps and advertising material to old cameras, radios and items salvaged from junk sales and shops. It's pure nostalgia and a fascination with things past. My purpose is not profit but to render a pleasurable service! Dedicated to my mother, who taught me hobbies,love and perseverance.
