The (other) things we collect

Vinyl collecting here.
Not a very lage collection yet, but I really enjoy just listening to music of vinyl without any other distractions. (Phone, laptop, etc)

James Bond memorabilia and car brochures for me 😀

How about "Vintage Prize Books".
The ones I like are around the turn of the century - probably 1890 - 1910 and tend to have been given out at schools to pupils for doing well in subjects (needless to say I was never presented with one at my school, but nor was I around then!).
They have beautifully illustrated spines and covers, and broadly focus on "derring-do" stories. Getting them in great condition is the tough part, but there are loads out there to choose from, and they were reasonably priced. I have collected 100s of the years, but now don't have any more room to display them.

Empty bottles... see other thread.

:edit:

Doh! threads got merged.

So I guess you can say I'm now collecting empty bottles.

And another very small collection, well just 2 penknives, but both quite interesting.

Before getting into Constellations I had a dalliance with Norwegian post war silver jewellery.
Specifically David Andersen.
Here's an unusual piece by Unn Tangerud for D Andersen.
Likely mid-sixties and unusual in that these 'bronze' pieces are usually just that - bronze.
However, this one is 'bronzed' sterling silver.

Cookbooks!

Parker 51 and 61 pens and sets - all for regular use. Choosing which set to use can present as much difficulty as WRUW for watches. So far I've stuck with black/burgundy but you never know .........

Fatcat
McIntosh Audio

I have an old McIntosh 1600 amp with a built in tube tuner. Rock solid piece of equipment with really lovely sound.

I have a small US silver coins and silver bullion collection, a few older pocket knives and one Gerber MkII fighting knife, and I own quite a few books. I have quite a few board games, vinyls, movies, I also have an old Magic card collection in my closet that I should sell on eBay and I have a small collection of Star Trek model ships actions figures. I still have all my hot wheels from when I was a kid and my legos, not sure if either of those really count as a collection as they sit in a box in my kids closet.

Had a Gerber MkII on my belt for a couple of tours in Viet Nam.
Only regret is that I wasn't able to get it home with me 🙁

Collings?

Matty01 · Oct 10, 2017

I collect lots of stuff but not in a desicated sense...
Crime fiction, travel lit and books on the middle east
Fishing gear, love fishing
Wine- its a passion that has become my business
Handmade acoustic geetars ...

I tend to collect (watches not included) in 3s. Anyone else finds that this is a good number to keep things manageable?

Vintage military badges - still looking for another one to round up this collection.

Steray86 · Oct 11, 2017

I have a habit of buying guitars, last year I ordered a custom made Martin acoustic, told my wife that was me done with guitars because it was exactly what I wanted. So now I've started looking at watches instead 😁
