Been given an Ilford Sportsman.

It is a rather old piece of equipment, in very good condition.

Manual aperture, shutter speed, film speed etc, all very nice

But what should i do with it? I have no experience with this, and was wondering if i should keep it and give it a go, or sell it and get something else to add to my current equipment?

I was also given an EOS1000 and a sigma 35-135mm lens.....

I am a nikon user so sell and keep the lens?

Sell the Eos and the lens if you are a nikon user. Use the money to buy some glass.
haha

I think if you are planning on selling it do not be surprised with the amount you might be offered for it cause it ain't gonna be much.

I would just put it on a shelf or whatever it is a nice curiosity if you dont't want to do that just send it to me I will.

Exactly it's still something nice to have.
My grandpa has an old camera from 54 that my aunt wanted to sell. I said it probably wouldn't be worth much and i was right. I really am going to try and convince them to give it to me=p

or give the Canon to an aspiring photographer, and throw in a roll of slide film.
