Seeking: Strange Old Things! (Or, how to help the museum by donating items)

How many people reading this blog have an old, unidentified medal sat in a box in a drawer? Or a dusty set of old letters from nineteen-0-something under the stairs?

We are reliant on donations. Our running costs are effectively zero: petrol and thats about it. But we need strange old things to keep the museum going. By donating/lending your old items you can help us keep the museum fresh and relevant. Id love to have a different collection every time we roll out but we just have enough stuff. Give your item to the museum and we can exhibit it for the enjoyment of the whole community. We'll even help you identify your object so it can be displayed and explained properly. A recent spate of donations has allowed us to start a new stand on contemporary conflict (we were kindly given a Japanese Korean war era cigarette case and an original Falklands war 3 PARA post-operational report. Thanks so much to Gloria and Adele!) which looks pretty good.

Leave a message on this blog for more details, or you can tweet us @TheMobileMuseum. If you're on facebook, join our group for details of upcoming events:
