What Else Do You Collect?

[MikeZ65]

Hello All,

I'd bet there aren't many people here that would disagree with me when I say that one of the reason people *collect* S&Ws is because they are beautifully finely tuned machines. Can I even say works of art? There. I did!

What I was wondering is, since I've noticed a collector's job is really collecting, what else do you collect?

Personally I go for knives (probably a pretty common one. goes well with the guns!), fountain pens (seen a few of those in some of your pics out there. always classy!), acoustic and electric guitars. The only thing I can't seem to collect is enough money to satisfy all the desires!

Anyone else? I've got a hankering to go after some watches and key fobs.

Any pics?

Mike

Books for one. I collect first person military books. The earliest I have dates to the 1840's. Many were privately published so there are probably only a few copies still existing.

I also collect post cards bottles and trade tokens from my home town.

I also collect straight razors and Gillette double edge razors made before 1950.
And like all my guns.
I use all of them.
In fact ,after getting into collecting razors and everything that goes along with keeping them sharp( strop-pastes-hones)
Shaving is a hobby now!

Comic books used to be of interest but, stopped about 10 years ago.
