What Else Do You Collect Besides Firearms?

[old bear]

Do bills and ex-wives count?

At one time I collected vintage money clips. I was able to pick up several Tiffany brand money clips until the price of sterling silver went up, again. I think it's sad that many of the Silver money clips were melted down to be resold.

Cars, pocket watches, police badges, patches, custom knives are the main items. I wish that I had only collected guns.

 

[Drm50]

Arrow heads, American coins & stamps, knives - actually I just
hoard these. Besides guns,my main collections are old fishing
lures and the old casting reels. I have been phasing out of
collecting anything but guns.

Sports autographs, mostly baseball. So far I have HOFrs, Stan Musial, Sandy Koufax, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, Carl Hubbell, Bill Mazeroski, Gaylord Perry, and Ferguson Jenkins. Many more stars to boot. This 1989 500 HR. ball is the star of the collection with Willie Mays, Mike Schmidt, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews, Reggie Jackson, Harmon Killebrew, Frank Robinson, Willie McCovey and the two best on the sweet spot, Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle.

Throw golf legend Arnold Palmer in.

Besides all kinds of guns, ammo, and accessories ..... the thing I have the most of is... Books!!!

Movies on DVD (have about 800), and books (qty: unknown)

 

[steamloco76]

I'm an accumulator of Railroad books, Civil War Books, knives, multi-tools, airguns, and local historical photos/artifacts. I gave up on stamps and coins because they ate into my guns and ammo budget!

My wife is a big time book and DVD-Blue Ray collector. She is also 100% addicted to adult coloring books. We may need a new wing on our place just for coloring books!

When we travel we find the local Hard Rock Cafe and l collect their pins.
People who travel overseas bring them back from other countries for me as well.
I had special window boxes made for them for display.
Have collected quite a few over the years and I usually keep them from places I have been and I like the guitar pins the best. My daughter and my English daughter have given me the ones from over in Europe.

Some days I feel old enough just to be collecting dust!

Here is a sample of paintings by Benjamin O'Fallon Raborg.

 

[pawngal]

I collect cookbooks, some watches, and Vintage Czech Garnet jewelry
like this bracelet.

and shoes........

Vintage guitars.

An endeavor that was both exhilarating and exasperating.

PS: it's not as lucrative as you would think.

This is a strange question to ask on a Smith & Wesson Forum, but do you know of anyone that restores guitar cases. The original Victoria Luggage Co. case for my late 60s Mosrite is in poor condition. The covering is separating from case. Rather than buy a new case, I would rather have the original case restored.

I collect vintage cameras, handheld bellows focusing cameras vintage of the late 1800's up to about WWII.



Just a few.

Many Many Thanks. I'm driving to Las Vegas in a couple weeks to look at another Cooper painting (what else?). I'll bring my guitar with me.

Not only does H Richard collect cameras, but he is also a very talented and superb user of that very collection!
