Time for another poll. I found an old thread about collections but, it was not a poll. I'd like an update of what folks have to have.

I hear it is time for the annual purchase of the Hess trucks. Dave/dlq has posted a picture of a most impressive collection of S2000 related items. I know he has other car related items that are pretty cool. Flts has mentioned a "car box" with items related to the S2000, Charlie buys the Hess trucks, as do others. I know Val has a soft spot in her heart for elephants and Betty Boop, an the old thread but not a poll tells me Deb likes clowns!

A co worker collects beer steins (I irritate him and call them mugs).

We've never had a collection of any kind. I may keep "stuff" with sentimental value, from time to time, but that's about it.

What about you?

I collect all kinds of crap, but not on purpose. The plan is to get the garbage man upset with me over the winter.....

I voted "Have several collections" or whatever the choice was, BUT they are pretty limited. Here are my items....not really "collectibles" in the true sense of the word:

-Architectural books....mostly from college days when a book might give you hope to be a hot shot designer some day. Having passed that idea about 40 years ago , I need to think about selling off most of this stuff....or donating to a college, etc. Not RARE but expensive in my student days....$30-40 each

-Family stuff from my side... Our small attic is the repository for sentimental stuff from both father and mothers side. A banjo, many old pics/ frames, letters and postcards, etc. There are a few valuable Civil War items that I've shown before on another thread. I need to weed thru this stuff and just keep a sampling that my kids might want to have in their years

-Tools! Again, I have inherited tools (some of them antique) from both my dad and Kathy's dad. All of it needs to be sorted out and organized. Lots of good yard sale stuff....as I think these things are pretty "collectible"....along with kitchen tools

A good and timely thread to any of us thinking about "down sizing"

 

I'm an inveterate collector. Antiques, some coins. My largest collection is of Penguins.

 

^I'd like to see a photo of a penguin collection.

 

^ Ill take some of Dave's Penguins pics on my next visit there which will be shortly

 

Penguins??? Really? That's different and

 

Yes: Antique furniture, RS Prussia, Moriagi Nippon, Persian rugs, motorcycles

 

if you ask my wife I collect way to much junk.....

I'd like to collect good single malt scotches but my collection never seems to be able get larger

any suggestion of adding the Mercedes collection hasn't been received very well either

so lately I've just been collecting tuition receipts.

 

I don't "collect" anything but I seem to accumulate a lot of junk!!!!!
