books (one of my favorites is a 1st ed Poe compilation)
records, as far back as 78's. One of my favorites is an Empire Strikes back soundtrack, mint, the promo poster that came with it was still in the album cover, no thumbtack holes. I haven't even dropped he needle on it and am kind of scared too.
Many music items, and vintage horns as well as daily players. There is something about the distinctive smell of a funky old musty horn that I really like. For me, that smell is about as powerful as freshly mowed grass or gun oil smell.

Stein Guys.....
What can you tell me about these? (Age, Value, etc.)
I picked them up at an estate sale a number of years ago, but don't consider myself a stein collector.
I think they are pushing definite old age.....
I particularly like #3 with the old guy and his cat looking like they've tippled a few and #6 with Hansel & Gretal stuffing the witch into the oven......

I am more of an accumulator than a collector: lots of motorcycles,
I love your Moto Guzzi. They have a special soul like no other bike.

I'm awful interested in the New York Yankees and the Oregon State Beavers, baseball especially. I have a great lot of items to do with each. I seem to collect ballcaps, (intentionally or not) and have about 50 of those. I have a tremendous collection of books, with a lot of those being of the outdoors, shooting type. I used to collect coins, and sorta autographs, too, but no longer seek those out much. I play a decent amount of golf now, too, and try to "collect" as many 'tee balls' as I can, (as opposed to losing them in the woods or water.) I also used to collect medical bills, but the less of that the better, am I wrong? I also try to own as many movies as I can afford, and like to be "fluent" in that subject. Time was I had a lot of LPs, but those days are gone, sadly. Over the last 25-30 years I've had my hands in no small number of interests. As with other folks, some stuck, some didn't. Wonder what'll be next...?

Knives, coins, cartridges, bullet moulds, old Ma Bell telephone stuff.
CWSpook, how many WPM can you pound with that? I learned on one like that from a neighbor back in the '70's.
As far as knives go, I gave up on Case knives years ago, just too mass produced. If you want a hot collectable knife line right now check out anything made by Great Eastern Cutlery. They put modern Case knives to shame.

Savage 1895's, 1899's and 99's. Only have eight, but a couple are a little unusual; an 1899 first year 250/3000 with deluxe wood and checkering that was delivered to a corporate officer, and a 99T, in 30/30, which was made from about 1935 to 1940. Nice ones are as hard to find as nice Smiths, but it's fun to look.

That is a fine looking "Bug" you have there.Only reason I had even a clue as to what it is ,was that when I was flying as a Navy Aircrew A.O. back in the 50`s, our Radioman would not leave the ground without his.

Hugs and kisses from my wife and daughters.
Other than that I don't collect things, I just sort of accumulate them. Looking around, it would appear I collect .22 lr's. Rifle, pistol, doesn't seem to matter. And more recently cigars, although usually one a week of those just goes up in smoke.

I started collecting Jon Anderson Fimo clay sculptures on my trips to Arizona a couple years ago. Here is the latest. There is no paint on these, the designs and colors are all colored fimo clay. If you search on youtube for Jon Anderson Fimo you can see them being made and they are pretty incredible.

Wow.. just... Wow.
Very impressive work from Jon Anderson.
Thank you for showing the sculpture.

I can't really help you with info about value,the last time I looked on ebay the prices were all over the place.
All of mine came from Germany and most were gifted to me by my FIL.
The neat thing about them is there were so many made that the variety is endless.As you can see from my pics above they are made from all sorts of materials.I have Pewter Cristal ceramic porcelain and even a couple of wood ones.(Tip,stick a flashlight in them and if light emits you have porcelain.)
Also,They all usually have a theme or story like your H&G one.The other thing you find are names of towns and cities.
Prost,

If your interested I can give you rough translations as to what the others say.
