Beautiful bike collection. Always had a soft spot for Bianchi. My own "classic" handmade 1985 RJ Quinn ((Campag Victory) is safe in the hands of a friend in UK. I now only have my new Lynskey. Always think about starting a collection of vintage frames, but life's bills keep getting in the way.

I collect movies , watch books and i started collecting the inlays of various DVD's and i have a lot of them but now the things don't come inside blu ray's anymore

 

In my post on page 2 of this thread, I neglected to mention that I also collect bow ties. The type you have to tie by hand. No clip ons or elastic ones. On our 2012 trip to Italy, we visited Chianciano. We spotted a shop that sells ties mostly, along with handkerchiefs, small leather items, belts, suspenders, etc. I bought two beautiful Italian made, silk bow ties for € 22.00 each. At home I wouldn't have been able to buy them at 4x the price! Or at any price! Luv 'em!

 

Pictures?

Well, I have far more watches than I have bow ties. Sixteen shown. Foreground are the wider ones which I was buying 50 years ago. The modern trend is to the narrower ones. The two I bought in Chianciano are at the left end of the far row. There's one in that row that my wife bought for me at Harrod's in London. These are the only ties I wear.....on the odd occasion that I wear a tie.

 

In addition to Inuit sculpture, I've collected a few Canadian aboriginal pcs. This mask is soapstone with alabaster eyes and horse hair tufts.

 

That would scare the brown stuff out of me, it looks like something out of Dr Who. A friend and I, well ok it was just I,"borrowed" an African mask hanging on a pub wall, the next day when I saw it I took it straight back to the pub, I was convinced i was going to get voodooed if I kept it.

 

I collect wines, mostly from Bordeaux and Rioja. I also used to collect CDs, you know, compact discs :-/

 

That's ok aapalileo. I still collect CDs.

 

Late to the party here, but will let the pictures do the talking. I collect sports memorabilia. Not so much anymore but the collection still stands. Old baseball cards, new cards, signed baseballs, bats, and anything else. Sorry for the large number of photos

 

I accumulate some types of things (camera lenses, car parts) but can't say I am a collector of anything. We'll see what happens with the watches though -- went from 1 to 5 in 2 months.

 

Sorry @TexOmega, just noticed this post. Your glove would date to a little earlier than the 1920s, I'd say circa 1915 give or take a couple years. Goldsmith was a quality maker back in the day, and this Model G is no exception. They made the Model G from 1912 to 1925. For example, it was their most expensive fielder's glove in 1915 at $4.00. Nice glove.

 

AAAKK,

Thank you for the information, I have both his glove and Hamilton 992B RR pocket watch(circa 1941-42) amongst a few other keepsakes. They had no children. Dad's favorite aunt and uncle.

Many, many fond memories of us visiting, "Aunt" John and Uncle" Ione as I called them as a 3-4 year old. Nobody let me forget that!

 

When I was a child in the 80s, my parents always said we were poor so I never asked for any toys. When we went to the store, I would just gaze at all the cool toys but would never would ask for anything. When I grew up, I bought all the toys I ever wanted as a child and more. Here is my collection of 80s things that I wanted as a child.

 

I've 'accidentally' collected just about every safety razor model Gillette has produced since commencing operations in 1904. Am shaving all week this week with the very first model, the 'Double-Ring' of 1904-1906.

Here's a latest find, a scarce Gillette Regent Tech (center), produced for only a short time before the advent of the U. S. involvement in World War II. Seen with the also uncommonly found Gillette Executive (left) which was rhodium plated and only produced in 1949, and the Aristocrat (center), the very first twist-to-open model Gillette, introduced to the market in 1934 and produced until 1940.



The Aristocrat with its open-comb design is my favorite of all Gillette models for shaving use as it gives a better shave than the later twist-to-open models as well as the earlier models. Makes one feel like Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, or Humphrey Bogart to shave with it.



The Regent Tech in its case.

 

Very nice collection !!!

Testicle holders. Interesting things to collect.

 

Brilliant. I just picked up my first Fat Boys - '58, '59, '60 & '61. Took awhile to get the right ones.
