Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Alley Clark Breakfast shows look above records.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yes, Max was given a family heirloom last night at
his family dinner, only a week or so until the wedding,
and it was quite emotional for you.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
This is a beautiful old teapot that my grandfather passed
down in the family to my father and mother who
passed under me.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Which made sense. The family heirlooms that Shane and I
had not so much. I got a Heckshaggertal tennis racket
from nineteen twenty and my husband got given some knackers
you know, the things that take the bull testicles.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Off on them. Yes, not the actual knackers kak.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah. So what's the most obscure family heirloom you have?
Vanessa of wind Vail? What have you got?

Speaker 4 (00:39):
We have a family sword that my grandfather brought back
from World War Two.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sorry to get you off. That's so cool.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Go on. It's caused a lot of contingen the family
with eleven kids. My grandfather had eleven kids, so it's
been to every wedding since then cutting the cake. So
it's managed to travel Australia to each wedding.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Imagine getting that on your luggage, glaring that I.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Was happy with the teapot, but I want a weapon.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, and so where if there's eleven children who ends
up having it? Vanessa? How does that work that.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
That became the problem in the end, the illdest child
thought it was huge. So it's now gone to that
local RSL so on the.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Wall of I know.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh that's that's wonderful that it's with everybody. So Vanessa,
thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
You could have changed for it. You could have got
a second and I mean last one that comes out alive.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
All right, Caroline from Grange, what was handed down to you?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I received from my mother, my grandmother's molar tooth. But
it's gold. It's a gold tooth.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
What, oh, Caroline? Straight to Cashi's right.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
What contemplatreus a couple of times. No, I don't think
my kids somehow will really want the standard down to them.
I'm quite sure what I'm going to do with it
when my end is near.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Put it in a necklace.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Does it hold sentimental value? Caroline?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, I mean it was my name is truth?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, I mean was she always were always at her
house and she was like, oh, check out this cool
tooth trick. I had eat an apple.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Or is she always eating toffee? I mean, what's going on? No?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
No, she was a very conservative woman, so no, I
really can't even remember how my mum got hold of it.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't want to say that this is a dear
parton Nana. We're talking about that. I am absolutely picturing
look like Jack Sparrow.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
For some read it was weird when cal we must
have an open casket funeral?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
All right, Caroline, where is it right now? In your house?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's in my jury box in a little pouch.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay. I love that. That'll be a lovely surprise for
the kids. Thanks Caroline, look after yourself.
