- heating element and jug
- “I had a little Tauchsieder to make hot water for our coffee. You immerse this electric prong into a jug of water and it heats it up. The Tauchsieder came from Germany in my glory box. I bought the blue aluminium jug in Albury in 1959.”

- radio
- “I saved up and bought the Akkord transistor radio myself. It cost a lot of money. Akkord is the firm who made the first portable radios in Germany.”

- iron
- “Christmas 1957, I got a Siemens iron from the hotel where I worked in Germany. We thought it might go ‘bang’, that it might burn out, but 51 years later, it is still going. It also earned me some money when I started to do other people’s ironing.”
