·Personally I don't collect anything else. If I had the means and space however - probably medieval swords and classic cars.
What else do you collect besides watches?

An exception would be historical bills and coins which can grow in value.

·I guess reptiles? I put 2 white eyed croc skinks in a tank. I now have 7 white eyed croc skinks in the tank. Not sure what happened. There's Penny, my 2 yr old Russian rat snake, who is the most adorable and friendly little noodle, at 3 1/2 feet, and The Greenies, 2 green keel bellied lizards who have their arboritum.

·When he passed away there were 4 in his basement.
I think the guy who got the Hammond has passed on, What happened to it I do no know.
It is amazing the survival rate of the old theater instruments. Some have even gone back 'home' into the theaters they were built for. Most of these are now 100 years old. That sort of gives them a different feel in a way. An issue though is that access is a lot more restricted, which makes it hard for the younger people to get exposure and make the effort to play them.
Finding people to work on them is also an issue. Especially as they contain lead, Use animal leather, and require solvents such as denatured alcohol to wet the shellac which is made from bug shit. Since all this is low hanging fruit for those who want to ban things for the greater good, it makes it difficult for them to be much other than a static display. Much easier to sample the sound loops and create a 'virtual' instrument which does not take up a lot of space and is easy to use.
Eventually others will come along and make their own myths about what these are and how they are used. Same for watches and other collectables.

·Snap-together plastic scale models of aircraft... In the late 1990s and up to 2012 passengers were offered these onboard the airliner You were flying, so one could get the actual airplane. These were low-cost but superb models (US $ 20.00 as I recall) but nowadays a rarely seen thing onboard aircraft.
The SwissAir DC-4 is a more recent model which as I got as a gift...

Originality, condition, and honest hunting use are prized qualities for collectors.
