Just remembered: after my father's death, clearing out his large garage/workshop, found no fewer than six old blowlamps, the sorts that plumbers use. OH declared they would all be death traps if anyone was silly enough to use them - so into the skip they went. Other week, browsing in an antiques place - yes, ones no nicer, with inflated price tags!!
I dislike seeing tools being used as mere ornaments, especially if they're capable of use. Old planes often are used like that, and often they could easily be put into good working order.
