I love the hand hewn charm of these old boards. Now even homemade boards are designed in software so everything is very straight and regular, but with old boards you can tell everything was done by hand from the design to the layout to the assembly. Don't get me wrong, it's great that you can cad something up, send the files off, and get perfect boards in 2 days, but these old boards are the electronic equivalent to a charming, rustic, cabin in the woods.
