What other stuff do people collect?

[NAILTRAIL96]

Not really an intentional collection but I seem to be amassing archery equipment at a rate of knots.

 

[Magsy]

Headphones, Blu-Ray's, Books and Music. Way too much Music.

Ooo, what 'phones? I discovered Head-fi.org in 2005 or something and it made my wallet cry, bit like retrobike really

 

[chambo34]

where do I start? bikes obviously , currently about 14 in rideable condition mostly pre 1980 in fact pre 1960 TBH, vintage wrist watches and a couple of pocket watches, old clocks, a few old weapons/militaria, books and vintage clothing pre 1960 but much of it pre 1950, shoes too oh and cowboy boots one pair is never enough.....I guess I just like old stuff.....the clothes mainly come from charity shops, I've had Jaeger suits, Armani shirts, Loakes and Church's shoes as well as several old Northampton made shoes by lesser but equal firms some still in their boxes unworn as are many of the clothes still in the celeophane wrappers.

Motor bikes

 

[kaiser]

Used to be comics and vintage cameras. Wouldn't say I collected books or music as such but have large quantities of both. Bike and bits seems to have trumped all at the moment though! The retro hi fi thread has me hankering mind you.

 

[technodup]

I have several of these.

And a couple of these.

And one of these.

Between that lot and 6 bikes in various states of built it's just as well I don't have a woman. Or any other collecting habits.

collection

Diecast cars 1/43rds American Muscle and American from 50s onwards.

Hundreds of damn things it seems.

 

[The Ken]

According to my partner I collect shite, any old shite, doesn't even need to sparkle.

I do like to collect old technology - I have a 1960's mini reel2reel and radio, 3 super 8 projectors, 3 singer sewing machines, Several 60's magazines, 1980's Tamiya RC car, some odd vintage tools and far more parts for my classic car than I could ever fit to it.

I also have what must be among the largest collections of bolts and screws I have absolutely no use for.

 

[Tazio]

What kind of car do you have TK?

I don't collect anything as such but apparently I'm a hoarder and refuse to throw things out. Even worse if I attach some kind of sentiment to an object. I have ridiculous things I just can't get rid of form significant holidays or days out etc.
