  Mine is quite modest. The oldest thing I have that is - and passed from my Grandfather, to my Father - then on to me around 6yrs ago. it`s a well worn silver fobwatch chain - with the T bar at one end of the chain and a silver medallion about the same size as the old florin. Or two bob

  Funny thing about eye candy. It`s great until you get it out of the box and then it has a tendency to melt in your hand - like candy-floss on a stick. Mrs O, always wanted one until 30 minutes after getting one - when all the little side popping widgets had popped out and in - and left
