Looked like this one on eBay originally

Wow.

My wife and I have both moved around a bunch over the years. We've been pretty stable since getting together, but then when we downsized, we "cleaned house." I actually wish I'd kept some of the stuff, but nothing that's a big deal. Since my parents were in the military, they also traveled fairly light. I won't be going through that experience. I almost wish I would. It's interesting to go through history, especially if it's in some ways your history.
