Thread: Tell me about what you collect!

Hi! My name is pj, and I'm a recovering collector.

Some of things I've collected in my life include:

- antique pocket watches
- musical instruments (primarily guitars)
- antique cameras
- sports cars
- antique machine tools (led to our business!)
- old radios
- professional magician's equipment
- antique technical books
- kites

I'm getting better... really I am. These collections have been mostly disbursed or at least discontinued, as we have better things to do with limited resources right now.

It is interesting to hear about the unusual things people are passionate about accumulating. One friend collects any kind of art that has cameras in it - everything from sculptures and figurines to cartoon cells. Another guy collects antique soda stuff - he has built a complete and authentic soda fountain in his basement to go with the collectibles. Another friend collects pinball machines.

Tell me about what YOU collect, and what some of your most prized pieces are!
