Yep. Silver and gold mostly. But I am a serious packrat and justify it by calling it "Collections".
From live ctgs, to antique peep sights. From custom knives to old ammo boxes. From books about the history of arms to old machinists manuals. I collcet way to much stuff. CH |

I collect some Jack Daniels Stuff, I dont have a lot of it but the pieces I have are very hard to come by. When I was in the Navy I started collecting Zippo's I have one from damn near every Aircraft Carrier, Fighter and Helo squadron. That got boring after a while.

I suppose you could say I collect guns. With guns its like: "Oooooh! I gotta get one of those!" even though I may not shoot it much I just gotta have one.

Scars....both physical & emotional.....
Actually, Mrs. KYREB and I have a collection of Derby glasses. These are the official ones from the KY Derby that they sell the mint julips in. Different design every year. We have some that go back into the early 50s. I also have collected various ammo cartridges since I was a teen. Got a box full, just not organized in any way. I like coins too. Morgan silver dollars especially. Oh yeah...guns too! |

I don't collect anything. I am a minimalist.

Man - my mom used to say - if i had two of something, I would start a collection! HAHAH . Which is kinda true. I suppose my dream job would be to have a museum that showed off some of the worlds greatest collections!
When I was little I collected rocks, sea shells, stamps, starwars figures, and pennies When I was older it was stamps and comic books and starwars stuff Older, I still pick up some older star wars stuff here and there. I love to collect old paintball guns. I have my collection showed off here: http://mister44.com/projects/paintball_markers/ If any of you have pre 1990 makers - email me. Id love to look at them (not you NoKarma, I know the cool stuff you own). But right now - man - I just dont have the cash for it. I am responsible now, paying off my debt - and planning a trip to Europe. I hope when I get back I can save some money for more toys for me - hehe. |

Don't really collect,just end up with.
Railroad lanterns/marker lights. Anything from the days gone by. Sure wish I would have grabbed one of the old canvas bags you would see all the time hung in the front of cars in the 60's ...and the old A/C units you hung in the side window. |

I have a collection of children, three of the creatures. My wife swears I had something to do with bringing them home, all I remeber is going to the hospital to break her out, after she was admitted for some kind of femanine belly enlargement thing, and the little beggars turned up in the back seat. I am thinking about putting the whole collection on Ebay though.

I have a barware collection. When we have a party at my place or have someone over for drinks, I show them to the bar and have them pick out their own glass.
It makes things a little more enjoyable (personal) for the guest and keeps the drinks from getting mixed up too. |
