Actually, there are a few old things I enjoy having from past generations. I have a pair of pliers that belonged to my great-grandfather. They are still my go-to regular pliers! I have a few things from my father and grandfather, such as a watch, a piece of art, some books.

But old shoes, a worn out toaster? Nope, wouldn't want those.

Of course there are going to be genuinely interesting things, and if there is a mutually shared collecting hobby that would be appropriate to pass to the interested party. But no one is going to want your Ron Popeil Showtime Rotisserie.
