What do you collect (besides guns)?

[pawncop]

I accumulate foreign coins/currency, shot glasses and police memoribilia.

 

[CW Spook]

Is that a Blue Racer key?

No, that one is an "Original", presentation model with the chrome and gold. The Blue Racers have a narrower base. I have a WWII vintage BR in the black crinkle finish and a "Deluxe" chrome plated one. $20 would be a real steal for any Vibroplex, particularly a Blue Racer.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I had an attraction for fast women and slow horses.Now at 60 something my collecting has been reduced to carved owls' and fond memories.

[JustinL]

I collect autographs. Specifically baseball hall of fame members. For whatever reason I only collect signatures on baseballs. Don't remember why.

 

[WhisperFan]

I collect WWII militaria, mostly German stuff, it should not need saying that I am NOT some kind of neo-Nazi, and I do NOT agree with the ideology, but I do feel that it it important to remember history, and I do like the styles of the German WWII dagger, and some of the medals and badges.

I have always been a fan for the "Iron Cross" shape, be it WWI or WWII.

I try to do a theme sometimes, like a German WWII Police group.

Here is an SA Mann group

Here is a little SS group

 

[G.T. Smith]

I like to collect marbles mostly. I have some really cool beer cans, one is a can of Busch Bavarian that is tin with the tab on the bottom, and it is full. I also collect pocket knives.
This year I have collected quite a few seed ticks and copperhead skins.
I also collect 1964 and below nickels. I am going to try my had at casting some silver rings when I have enough material and knowledge.
Peace,
gordon

...I also collect 1964 and below nickels. I am going to try my had at casting some silver rings when I have enough material and knowledge.

Did you perhaps mean 1964 and earlier quarters and/or dimes? With the exception of a very few part-silver nickels minted during WWII, there is no silver in nickels.

In the movie Caddy Shack, Rodney Dangerfield's character walks into the pro shop and says: "I'll take six of those, three of those and a pack of naked lady golf tees."

About the tenth time I saw the movie, it dawned on me ...I wondered what a naked lady golf tee was and looked it up.

I now have what I believe to be the most comprehensive collection of naked lady golf tees on the planet.
