This first piece is a very popular sewing machine in the seventies and eighties of the last century.
At that time, people were still on the verge of poverty, and the concept of male farmers and women weaving was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, no matter who married a daughter-in-law, the standard bride price was "three turns and one ring", and this "first turn" was the sewing machine.
At that time, if people accidentally cut their clothes during work, in addition to sewing by hand, they could also use sewing machines.
Not only that, housewives at that time usually did odd jobs in order to support the family. And if they don't want to go out, sewing clothes at home is an excellent option.
It's just that now with the progress of industry and the development of technology, sewing machines have gradually withdrawn from many families, but the spirit of craftsmanship and historical value they represent are still cherished by people.
The vice president of the China Cultural Heritage Association once said: Those ancient sewing machines are not only practical tools, but also handicrafts.
This sentence is naturally unmistakable, when we search for sewing machines on the Internet, we will always see that some sewing machines are beautifully made, using high-quality materials, perhaps inlaid with delicate patterns and carvings;Some are even engraved with the inscriptions of famous masters of the time.
Therefore, its collection value is very considerable.
Moreover, in past auctions, some rare old sewing machines have also set eye-popping records.
For example, in 2015, an antique sewing machine from the end of the 19th century sold for a staggering 3.5 million**...
In 2022, the various sewing machines of Dongguan Kaiwei Knitting Garment, which was announced to be closed down for its own reasons, were auctioned by the court, and the starting price reached 1.03 million yuan.
Therefore, for people who have an old sewing machine in their home, it is important to treat it with caution and not to throw it away easily. Maybe one day in the future, you'll make a fortune from it!
The second piece is the old solid wood furniture.
The development of wood technology in China can be traced back thousands of years to the hunter-gatherer era, and through the development of the times, a unique manufacturing technology with mortise and tenon structure has been formed.
Wooden chairs, for example, are made without the use of a single nail or nail but can still be used for hundreds of years.
Although it is now difficult to find traces of old wooden tools, this does not mean that wooden tools have no status in the hearts of the people.
It is reported that log furniture is generally considered to be more durable, more textured, and more environmentally friendly than furniture made of engineered panels.
Moreover, these old wooden tools are not ordinary, with unique craftsmanship and decoration, and some of the materials used such as mahogany, huanghuali, red sandalwood, etc., have natural beautiful textures and colors, which are highly valued.
Therefore, some people who love cultural entertainment do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to include wooden furniture.
For example, in 2017, an ancient Huanghuali hand-carved wooden chair was auctioned at Christie's for a staggering 30 million yuan**.
And if you have old wooden utensils at home, don't throw them away easily, they not only carry the precipitation of the years, but also rare historical relics, which may contain unexpected precious value.
As an ancient and exquisite calculation tool, the abacus carries the long tradition of abacus in our country.
It is made up of beads and sticks, each stick represents a different number of digits, the position of the beads determines the value, and even in some current abacus courses, teachers will skillfully teach the 26 mantras of abacus:
One up, two, two, three, five, two, two, two, six, one...
Although under the impact of modern science and technology, the abacus has gradually faded out of people's field of vision, its unique cultural value and representativeness make it still respected and concerned by people.
In Zhuji City, Zhejiang, there is a collector Ding Yifeng who has collected more than 100 old abacus, covering the Ming Dynasty to modern times.
According to him, some abacus, the beads are made of exquisite jade, don't look at the general color, there is a lot of value in it!The most expensive one, the market price is even more than 100,000!
So let's pay attention to it, if there is an ancient abacus at home, don't throw it away at will, it may have unexpected value!
Postage stamps must be familiar to everyone, in that era of letters as the main means of communication, before sending letters, the sender had to buy stamps from the post office, although a stamp only costs a penny.
But it is not just a piece of paper, but a bearer of the memories and stories of the times.
Take the "People's Heroes Commemorative Stamps" issued in 1953 and 1955 for example, which is not only a tribute to the countless heroes of that era, but also a microcosm of the perseverance of the people in difficult times.
According to the news revealed by the stamp trading network, this batch of stamps has soared to 10,000 yuan, and the well-preserved stamps can be auctioned at sky-high prices, even as high as 200,000 yuan.
As early as 2019, the auction of the "National Mountains and Rivers are Red" stamps** was as high as 4 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 351 yuan120,000, a record high.
So, if you still have these old stamps at home, you must not throw them away again, and you must keep them well.
After talking about stamps, we have to mention our coins.
The numismatic market in China is experiencing steady growth, and the most notable ones are old banknotes and copper coins with a strong historical heritage.
You must know that these old banknotes and copper coins are not only symbols of currency, but also witnesses of the years, carrying fragments of national development, economic changes and social changes.
The patterns of old banknotes, the minting age of copper coins, and the layout design are all microcosms of history and culture, which profoundly reflect the style and spirit of that era.
Let's take the old copper coin as an example, according to the current copper coin, it is almost 2700 21500 yuan a piece. The most valuable copper coin, Wanli Tongbao, spends copper coins, and even reaches 8,200 yuan.
As for the old banknotes, I don't know if you still remember the third set of RMB 1 yuan banknotes issued after the founding of New China, the actual issuance time was October 20, 1969, May 10, 1988 stopped printing, and July 1, 2000 was officially launched into circulation.
The front of the banknote is a woman driving a tractor, and the entire face of the ticket is jujube red, so the three versions of the one-dollar banknote are also referred to as the tractor one-dollar, which has a high appreciation value.
It is reported that the value of the third edition of 100 consecutive numbers can reach between 340,000 yuan, and some are even higher.
Finally, we have to bring up the old tapes. In the first decade of the last century, people began to pay attention to their sense of life experience and mainly relied on the radio to spend time.
Plug in the tape, flick the ** key, ** and it will flow out of the radio and fill the whole room, isn't this a memory of an era?
I remember that at that time, people had to save pocket money for a long time in order to buy a box of tapes, and sometimes they even had to pick up garbage to sell it for money.
However, with the development of the times, tape has been gradually replaced by digitalization**.
Being replaced does not mean being banned, and in the hearts of many people, tapes are still a precious memory.
Therefore, some people will specifically **buy old tapes, some of which are tapes of singers who have passed away, if they are complete, **will be a little higher.
The charm of these old objects lies not in the hype, but in the fact that they were once ordinary daily necessities, full of the breath of public life. They have gone through the baptism of time, all the way, showing unique investment value.
So, stop despusing those old-fashioned stone troughs, abacus, and even ***!They have long been quietly becoming a staple in the antique market, and the value of each one has to be doubled!
