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.

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.

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.

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.

I collect telephone glass insulators, or used to. I haven't been serious about it for years. Have a few good ones and one old threadless one that is valued at a $1000. Was really into it when I was still working for Ma Bell. Since retiring I have been too busy with competitive shooting and other hunting stuff.

I'm getting too old to collect things now, guns are the exception. Everything I've collected over the years is slowly getting given to kids and grand kids.

Vibroplex telegraph keys.
Is that a Blue Racer key?
We found one about 10 years ago at an antique show. My son was studying for his ham license and wanted a key. I gave him my father's WWII key, and the Blue Racer. He took it to a ham fest locally to see what the old guys with experience had to say. They were impressed with the key, but more impressed with the box the key came in, and the original UPS wrapping. They'd never seen that before. I guess it was a good $20 I spent buying it....
