    Dunno about the bookends and humidor. Might be worth something, if well made. On subject of vinyl LPs… only folks telling you they are worthless are the folks who want to get hands on them and make a great deal of money! Hang on to them and Google the titles you guess might be worth a bob or two. Certain Beatles records can fetch thousands. I’ve got quite a few LPs myself and still actually play them – much “warmer” sound than CDs and a million miles above the internet quality (most Beatles stuff on a certain streaming service have been done at incorrect speed – Macca seems to sing far too high and quicker than originals).

    Many different types of LP can be worth something. I’ve got an album of the South Pacific soundtrack. One of the first ever stereo records to go on sale. Marvellous quality. Worth up to £100. Anything pre-1970 is probably collectible. Pressed before oil crisis forced a cutback to all oil products – like vinyl – and after then, LPs became much thinner and crap in quality.

    The whole vinyl thing is undergoing a resurgence now: modern bands releasing LPs or excellent recording quality at a premium price. The right sort of vintage vinyl can be worth pots of dough. What sort of stuff have you got? I only know a little about 60s’ stuff and might be able to help.
