I am selling my Grandmother's collection of vast souvenirs and items to fund a new roof and lovingly restore her home 🏠.
My grandmother was an air hostess in the 1940s/50s and collected things from all over the world ✈️. She married my grandfather who was the pilot of her airline and they both collected unique finds over the years.
My grandmother then became an antiques dealer from the 1960s until she retired at grand age of 92!
I am finding such wonderful pieces of history, and I hope they bring you as much joy as it once did my grandparents.
Many thanks for looking.
