It may be worth something Element. The good thing about antiques is that they are not mass manufactured, sometimes handmade and often make money just by sitting in your house, plus I don't like cheap throw away items, I like something with a story, my partner has a passion for clocks and anything with an engine. I have a few bits indoors, just things I like, and things my niece and nephews find fascinating, it shows them the evolution of craftsmanship.
Clocks are great, I just love the mechanics, my partner likes to fix old things as well, so if it's broken his more likely to buy it, he recently acquired one with a broken pendulum.
