cuff links,collar stays and stuff

Maybe its an age thing , but just wondering how many older male Accy web users still have these things around , (refusing to call it a jewelery box) I have a wooden box (Aleut/Alaskan eskimo, made with a scrimshaw lid ) which is in the top of my bedroom desser, it holds a few pairs of cuff links and collar studs and stays of various lengths ,(all infrequenty used these days) , my Dads old watch , a few old sets of long forgotten car keys , a gold puzzle ring (4 gold rings which once interlocked), a ring with a middle eastern gold coin the size of a soveriegn ( never worn for a least 20 years), a tarnished 'silver' cigarette case (seen use at Accy Jazz club, Peel Park late 60s), inside are phone numbers and a couple of photos of people who I have no recolection of who they are, and some casino chips from long gone casinos , a few foriegn coins with holes in the middle from the days when i used to check the the IChing before going out for the night .
Its just a miscellaneous oddball collection of stuff collected over the years , emptied from a pocket after a good night out , means nothing to anyone apart from me (gold value apart) .
So if any other "coffin dodger" has any such stuff , let us know , and why you keep the bloody stuff
