Although not worth as much as some of our other pieces, this child’s cassette player has a lot of potential as an investment. As a child growing up in a poor family in New York, little Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta would play songs by her favourite singers over and over again with this little cassette player.

Unfortunately, it is sadly damaged, and chews up tapes whilst emitting a clunking, oddly syncopated whining noise. We cannot know to what effect this affected the musical style of the artist now known to millions as Lady Gaga.

Valued at £50k upwards at auction.
