Especially love these! Have fun setting the clocks back!

Okay, now I need to get me one of these, a beautiful oil lamp, a classy straight razor, a Harley, some big woman underwear and uh... where's that list?
 
Camera's, that were of advanced or professional use "early on". This is only a small part of the collection, and oh yes a few beer steins.

"Collection" are memories of good times,
places and people

I collect paintings by the California artist Benjamin Raborg. His paintings are a window into the past. I can see what California was like before it was ruined.

My favorite painting is a landscape with an old adobe building. The building is still standing, it is known as the Roberto Adobe, and it is about 2 miles from where I live. The spot where Raborg painted the picture is now a radiator shop.
 
Old motercycles, Viva team underdog! TRIUMPH - NORTON - BSA!!!!!
 
Now THAT'S what I call an exhaust system!!!

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!

Nice, a fellow collector

Got any Swedish razors?
email me if you don't have.
 
Next to antique fire-arms I collect original Japanese art swords, preferably shinto period (1597 till 1780) or earlier. And uh... I can't afford them anymore cause I've got a kid on the way... actually, can't afford anything anymore
Oh, and the most beautiful sneakers ever made; the Jordan V and VI.
 
Empty Scotch bottles

Anything gun related and reloading related.

Last but not least...Dougs. I have at least 6 friends, including my best one, named Doug. Makes it easier to remember their names.

I think you need a new fishing technique
 
U.S.RIFLE CAL.30 M1 and the things that go with them like maint tools bayonets oil cans ect.
 
Stones and seashells that have a story, picked up on travels. National Geographic magazines I have just about all of them 1907 till 1997 when I cancelled they were getting a little too green and liberal for me.

Dregg, that last picture has somehow caused my keyboard to become covered by large amounts of saliva-SWEET!!!
 
Books, historical and biographical in nature. Also some fiction, knives, and of course Gun related books.
Beer steins. Bills.
 
I collect knives, too. Then there are the G-scale trains - mainly LGB, whose logo is an 0-4-0 Austrian meter-gauge steam switcher known as a 'Stainz'. My few years of Harbor Lights lighthouse collecting filled a bunch of shelves once covered in books mainly on WWII jets, warships of the Civil War, woodworking, etc, which now reside in boxes in the bottom and back of every closet. Then there is my wood & metal working basement shop. Model kits fill the closet - WWII German jets in plastic and wooden ship models.

I have too many hobbies!
