    I was in my attic the other day thumbing through dog eared beanos from the 80s, while sitting next to an n64 box. I couldve dug through the stuff up there all day if it werent for the musty smell and fibreglass insulation but the attic is one of THE great retro goldmines as we all know so the question is : what great/retro blast from the past items have you stumbled upon in your attic recently??

    I got teddy bears going back to my childhood, infact 44 years of me is up there. Scary really. I must learn to throw things out.

    Found a promotional cardboard sign of the Sonic & Knuckles logo, poster sized and oval shaped from 1994 I think.

    I used to stow condoms in my attic as a teenager and was always losing them!

    I was in my parents attic last time I was home. Usually go up there every year or two.

    Every copybook from school is there.
    Books.
    Beanos, Dandys, Champs,
    old NMEs
    Hot Press
    College notes and folders
    Dinkies
    Lego
    Race and Chase
    Subbuteo
    Fisher Price Garage

    A whole childhood of memories. I love going up there. My parents are under orders not to throw anything out from up there.

    I worked as an Aerial Rigger for years, so have been in hundreds of attics.

    The things that I have seen most frequently were old schoolbooks and Shotguns.:eek:
