Recently, when Meiyu browses short **, I often see some people frequently going to the countryside and asking from door to door if there are old objects available**. Many netizens have raised questions: Do old objects in the countryside have value?Today, we're going to take a look at this question.
First of all, let's talk about the so-called valuable items in some people's mouths. For example, some claim that old-fashioned sewing machines, stone troughs used to feed pigs in the countryside, kerosene lamps, windmills that blow rice, and stone mills are valuable.
However, let's be honest, despite the fact that these items have a certain historical age, they don't really have a high value. The real value is the following items, which can be a huge loss if they are not identified and bought at a low price.
1. Cutting board. Of course, the cutting board mentioned here is not an ordinary cutting board. Take a closer look at your home cutting board, and if it's old and hasn't been damaged over time, it's likely to be extraordinary. For example, an old man in Sichuan discovered that the cutting board he had been using for many years to chop vegetables and meat was actually made of golden silk nanmu with beautiful water ripples on it, which was at least 100 years old.
Let's look at the small plank below, if it appears in a rural kitchen, I guess no one will take a second look. However, it is made of rare rosewood and is used by a family in the countryside to make cutting boards.
Second, the old name of the pole.
This is also one of the items that many people want to acquire. Every household has a weighing pole, so why is it worth buying?Generally speaking, most of the weighing rods of ordinary people's homes are made of iron pear wood, Zhe wood, red silk wood, jujube wood and other materials, and do not have high value. However, it is likely that the weighing rods of large households are made of materials such as precious huanghuali or red sandalwood.
Previously, it was rumored on the Internet that the old weighing rod turned out of the warehouse made several toothpick barrels and sold them for tens of thousands of yuan. Meiyu doesn't know if this is true, but if it is found to be a precious material, it should not be destroyed, and it should be treasured and kept as a souvenir.
3. Abacus. As soon as the abacus sounded, ** 10,000 taels. In the past, the abacus used by large business families was good, and it must have included valuable wood, which is one of the reasons why the abacus has value. In ancient times, the abacus was not only a personal item of the "account room", but also a necessary thing that many literati, wealthy people and even ** and nobles would carry with them for calculation. Therefore, the abacus is often revered as a mascot symbolizing wealth.
In 2010, a Hainan Huanghuali abacus was 1680,000 yuan of ** transaction. The precious wood, combined with its historical value, makes the value of the abacus incalculable.
In addition, Meiyu has also seen some players turn their rolling pins into bracelets, which are undoubtedly bracelets made of Hainan Huanghuali spider mosquitoes, worth at least five figures.
Have you noticed that these valuable old objects have a common feature, that is, the use of precious wood. Therefore, the value is not in the age of the object, but in its material. In addition to these, the real value of old objects also includes banknotes from the early years, which are rarely seen now, or ancient coins left over from history.
If you have these items at home, you can go to the collection market to find out**, and maybe you can get a small extra fortune. Do you have any valuable old items in your house?Come and leave a comment to share!
