So what else do you collect?

[wbraswell]

kshock beat me to it. I have several small collections of stuff my grandparents had. Most of it from post war Germany where they lived in 1946 while he was in civil service ordinance. Beer steins, very early Hummels, cut glass, some art pottery. I'm into genealogy, so you could say I collect dead relatives.

Belly button lint
past due medical bills (I had a set of preemie twins that spent 5 months in the hospital before coming home)
I have over 500 movies on DVD/Blu Ray, I guess that is a collection

PS: I guess this assumes I "collect" S&W, when really, I don't have a collection of them.

 

[hiredhand]

I collect knives, toy tanks, cannons, self-propelled artillery, etc of the WW/WWII eras; Victorian era erotic paper-weights, old western prints, and coins.

When I was a small boy at the end of the war I collected caps. I came from a huge family and had 8 to 10 uncles in the war. Somehow most of them brought me a cap or hat when they came home. The word must have got out. I had a drawer full and dont know what happened to them. I had german and jap military caps. I do have several russian and german pocket watchs from one uncle. When I asked him how he got the russian watch he said hell, when I saw the first russian soliders I thought they were japs! He was there at the rhine when the americans met the russians.
I also collect many of those model cars that you see at truck stops. Got about 30 of the older classic ones. Not into the modern stuff.

I don't collect, I accumulate. I have accumulations of guns (many different types), watches, knives, reloading stuff, and a few old cameras as well as a few other things. I don't seem to be able to own one of anything. If I become "interested", (read obsessed), with something I usually end up with several examples of it before my interest wanes.

I am more of an accumulator than a collector: lots of motorcycles,

several English and European 3-speed bikes,

a few Mamod steam toys, quite a few old and repro tin toys, including several Tucher & Walter ("Sammlerspielzeug, nicht für Kinder geeignet").

I have about 2,000 rounds of ammo, does that count? I also collect little blue pills to help satisfy my wife's addiction.

 

[H Richard]

Antique camera's from late 1800's to around 1940's. Just a few, I have about 4 dozen scattered around.

I also rebuild bamboo fly rods, (and use them). And the wife and I collect Cameo's, mostly the shell cameo's, but have many others also. Gives us a few things to look for when visiting antique shops.
