My folks did much the same thing. They had a file cabinet plus other shelves in a closet and kept all major receipts, every tax return, every utility bill. Mom also kept every piece of personal correspondence she received since she moved to Canada in 1948 which has been very enlightening for me working on the ancestry family tree. I've passed some of the appliance receipts and manuals onwards to others here. As for the contents of moms house most of it went to Habitat for Humanity. My sister kept a few small accent tables and a corner cabinet and I kept two antique chairs and a small crystal clock.. Now we're both wondering what to do with them as neither of us are into antiquey stuff.. the paperwork photo's,were more important to me. None of the grandkids were interested in furnishings either even though it was pretty good quality stuff.. nobody seems to want that sort of stuff anymore.

65 Years of Family Business Records
No, I did not throw them away. I saved all the papers (checks, repair and sales receipts, etc.). Someday, I may have to throw out everything, but I have not done it yet. I just don't know who else in the world would be interested in handwritten scribbles from the 1940s about the price of a tube, written by my father, after riding his bicycle from a customer's house.
If I did shred everything, yes, I would regret it. | ||

Here's one:
Daughter wasn't interested, mom's el-cheapo is seldom used and who knows how old the needle in her's is... So, well, it's the needle in this, that is no longer made, but it didn't occur to me, a new cartridge would make a difference, and shocking how even Needle Doctor didn't recommend me doing that or offering that as an alternative, introducing me to that being how I would save a still-working phono... No matter, I graduated to a better all-manual model like my Audio Technica: But still, old Technichs even with the broken dust cover might have still been sellable, for a much-needed sum, chump change it may be... -- Dave | ||

Given Away or Maybe....
.....thrown away in one of the MANY moves we made when I was growing up;
Baseball card collection (1960's) Matchbook collection (more 1960's) Bottlecap collection (same) Pioneer SX980 receiver (gave away when I had to downsize) Pioneer PL-630 turntable (gave to my Dad as it sometimes went "off speed") Probably a lot more that I've forgotten..... | ||

Re: manuals from everything 
My mom kept all the manuals from their appliances in a big plastic shopping bag.
She was ready to part with them several years ago. Being the hoarder that I am, I volunteered to take them off her hands. So, I still have them, although I have no idea where they are. When I eventually come across them, I'm going to put them somewhere sensible, so I'll know where they are when I feel like perusing them. Barry | ||
