Yes I remember when you were in the trade. I know it is rather sad to part with familiar objects. I am glad they hold their  value.  Actually most antiques here have lost value.

I think the younger generation are more interested in modern tech. My old helpmate

collected Toby jugs paying as much as £50 at one time he now has 48 . . I don't think he would get much if he tried to sell them. A lot of so called antiques are a job to give away.

I bought copper kettles 50 years ago thinking the would go up in value I should have sold them the next week. Remember when you climbed a mini mountain. 🌺

Those Penny Farthing bicycles are really cool. I can't imagine attempting to climb up on one. We have a really cool bicycle shop in Pittsburgh that showcases every bike imaginable. Since bicycles were once your thing, Bicycle Heaven may be of interest to you. https://www.bicycleheaven.org/

Good Evening

This is an absolutely beautiful Christmas tree.  All the lights are amazing!  I love it!  I wish you the best with your bikes.  I'm wondering where you keep all your bikes?  I think when the time is right, you will know when to sell, and if the time isn't right, you will know when to keep them.  I had a 1949 Leader Tractor, and I held onto it for 30 years.  One day, I just knew it was time to sell, and the perfect buyer came along and bought it.  I felt very good about the whole transaction.  I have a 920 Yamaha that I've had for a long time, and I can't bring myself to sell it. I'm going to leave it for the kids to sell.
