What Do You Collect?

[KPhillips]

I collect shot glasses from evry place I visit, unless I forget to pick one up in the airport, and I pick up a bell for my wife and a thimble for my daughter in each place.

License Plates! A casual hobby. A total of 566 from 49 states, and 5 countries. I still need a plate from the state of Maine. Anyone wanna part with one?

I'm also collecting gray hairs too. I don't have a count on those though.

Thought about collecting a lot of different things but found out there were to many other people collecting them and the prices were already too high for the good stuff. Maybe I'll get some ideas from this thread.

LOL Eric, and my wife calls me a packrat! I'm like you with the books. Always going back and reading old ones as it's just like reading them for the first time. Wife wants to toss out, I tell here there are articles that I need to read in them. One of these days I'll come home and she will have tossed them!



I collect old wood working equipment as well as old fishing gear. Don't have enough of either one but I'm working on it.

Thoughts. I'm always trying to collect my thoughts.



I also collect radios (heathkits and Kenwoods, some Icoms and Yaesus). I have every magazine I have ever bought. (and some I didn't buy) Except for some aviation magazines that I gave away after the divorce. And pocket books. Every one I have ever bought and read.

[BigMike]

My wife and I buy refrigerator magnets everywhere we go. Got a bunch and I plan to collect a bunch more before I kick the bucket, even if I have to buy a second refer!! Wish they'd adhere to the wood on my 5er refer.

WILL YOU PLEASE COME UP HERE AND GET SOME OF THEM??? right now, i'm trying to get rid of a '57 Drof retractable hardtop (Skyliner). i've lost interest in it, since the goat got here. my OWMBO is after me to make the '89 Dakota the next out the door... ... ..... i dunno... ... . a 4BT in a 4X4 convertible Dakota sounds like fun. prolly never happen anyway???

[Briar Hopper]

The usual redneck stuff... . belt buckles, knives, guns, key chains, caps. I only keep it if the advertised item is something I like. for example, if it's an IH belt buckle, I'll chuck it in favor of a Cummins belt buckle.

Oh, and books. Lots and lots of books. More than half of which have a heavy slant to the right, politically speaking.
