Probably done before, but I was just wondering what other people collect, besides guns.

I collect screwdrivers, Keen Kutter items (an old brand name), and area milk bottles.

Chinese art, especially carved stone. Each of the two pieces shown below were carved from one solid piece of agate. The artist saw the image in the solid block of stone and simply removed everything else.

Knives, mostly Victorinox Swiss Army but a few German ones like Boker and Henckels.

Mechanical watches

Hand tools

Cookbooks
 
Antique furniture--my wife re-canes caned bottom chairs--she buys the junk ones--brings them home--I have to rebuild and refinish them and then she re-canes them.

Is he an Cleveland Indian's fan? I have an extra set of these "Arby's 1995 tribe milestones" set of 8 cards. I had several stes but sold a few for $10 a set.

Local police badges, insulators, antique bottles, esp. local ones. Also Bay Area shipyard "stuff," esp. Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
 
H Richard; Looks like a Retina 2A in the middle of the top photo. I took one to RVN in the pocket of my fatigues: took almost 100 rolls of film with it. The one on the top right looks like my father's Voightlander Avus, which he bought long before I was born. It still works, and I have a 120 roll film adapter for it. Also a plate holder if I can find some glass plates for it.
 
Old pocket watches. None are very valuable, but I like them. The one I carry only varies about+/- 5 seconds a week. Doesn't need batteries either.
 
Old glass.

Aches and pains, as I get older I seem to be increasing my collection quite a bit! :( The fruit of living hard when young, of course I would do it all again. :)
