What else do you collect? I used to collect these.

Besides some weird or interesting toys, I also use to collect lunch boxes. And I still have all my 1967-69 Marvel comics. That old ice chest was what my family used in the 60s. Lot's of fun memories there. Here's some of my lunchboxes. The little girl on the Family Affair box overdosed soon after that show ended. And of course Bob Crane was murdered. The 1977 Star Wars one has the thermos as do most of them. What else do you, or did you collect?

I collect different denominations of paper currency, but the IRS seems to have most of that one...

I don't actively pursue these anymore but here is a sampling of pre 1900 hand crank sewing machines I still have. I like the precision of the hand fitted parts. Sort of like the hand fitted assemblies of older S&W's.

Is four pairs of binoculars a collection?

I've spent lots of time & money with hockey cards and other hockey memorabilia. Also have always loved old HO-scale slot cars.

AND, I collect these, but, they do not stay around long!!

Watches - mechanical only. They have the added benefit of being wearable and functional. Chronos, dive watches, and for a while USSR medical watches.

Here it is knives and flashlights. Fun, and both are practical and useful.

I collect Guitar pins from Hard Rock Cafe.
Whenever we travel I look for the local Hard Rock,have lunch and a beer and buy a couple of pins.
Friends and family that travel overseas bring them back for me as well. My daughters recent visit to Dubai should bring some back!
My father in law made window boxes for me to display them in, I have 6 full hanging in the basement with another 4 waiting to be filled!

They are not all just guitars either plus they do some special editions.

As someone who plays those are pretty fun looking.

I think it can be. We have 3 here. Steiner 7 x 50 military, Zeiss 15 x 56 which is good for the binocular astronomy side and works great as a lower powered spotting scope, and Swarovski 8 x 42 which Wendy loves for amateur birdwatching.

i Collect bourbon, 10yrs or older, single barrel, and barrel prof. I have about 12 open bottles right. The collection does shrink from time to time, but it does grow. We are in Branson MO. at present and I am as always checking package stores for the rare holy grail bottles.

I have collected air guns and knives since I was a young boy and could buy them with my paper route money... I don't have a paper route at 51... but still enjoy finding both knives and air guns... last air gun was a full auto Mauser C96 Broomhandle... last knife was a Gurkha Kukri...

 

[jimbo728]

[ShivasIrons]

I had that exact Star Wars lunchbox when I was in school! The only other one I remember was a Bee Gees Lunchbox.

 

[shouldazagged]

Me? Dust. Cobwebs. Moss. Strange trivia. And as I approach total decrepitude, momentum.

 

[Bozz10mm]

I don't actively collect them, but I have accumulated a large number of flashlights, knives, and cigarette lighters.

 

[rbmac52]

Guitars and amplifiers. I have about 40 of them.
