My amusement came from selling some stuff online.
We were moving house and I was desperate to get rid of heaps of my wife's old stuff. Lots of little tin boxes with cartoons and interesting bottles and things. Just the stuff a collector would like.
There was this one green bottle with a label which read "BHP Steel (1 of 5)". BHP Steel is a massive mining company in Australia which has been around for a very long time. My FIL worked there. I thought it was interesting enough an artefact to fetch a reasonable price on eBay. I was quite happy to see that a "mining museum" out in the Aussie outback somewhere had won the auction.
I told my wife what her junk had fetched and told her about the green glass BHP Steel bottle.
"OMG. You sold that?", says my wife.
"Yeah, why? What's wrong?"
"I bought that bottle at a $2 shop. Dad gave me the stickers from his work when I was little. One must've got stuck on the bottle by accident when it was in my draw!"
"Ahhh, I thought it was odd that the label was on a little crooked."
"OMG. Who bought it?"
"Some mining museum. We should go visit sometime. Maybe they have other fake artefacts from the early mining era!"
Cheers,
