Just out of curiosity.

I collect glass target balls, vintage ammo boxes,early Winchester calendars and advertising, anything related to the Northwest Mounted Police and Northwest Rebellion of 1885, Bowie knives, traps, powder tins, decoys, Wild West Show Programs from Buffalo Bill's show, Winchester rifles and early Colt revolvers just to name a few things. I display them in my man cave and enjoy many hours in my room finding items I haven't seen in years

[mr.e moose]

Old hand tools that are still usable, collector cars, Old money, Lighters and aches and pains as I get older.

[Milsurf]

Used to collect Japanese swords, fountain pens, pocket watches, RISE model airplane engines, some other stuff. Usually my interest shifted and I moved on, recycling much of what I'd previously obtained. Don't collect much of anything anymore, now living on a fixed income in the People's Republic of Taxiforniastan, waiting for the Prop 13 axe to fall. More interested in offloading what I still have rather than getting additional stuff in light of my increasing years versus declining physical condition.
