Some very interesting things we all collect!
I’d love to see pictures of others collections. I just found this piece of mastodon tusk this morning. Will try to add some more pics of my own collections here too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Antique tools, especially like to restore vises. The one on the right weighs 80 pounds, the left 187.

Those are cool! My dad had a couple of very old, VERY heavy ones when I was growing up.... I can still picture them on his tool bench. I'm thinking that, when we sold the house in Michigan and moved to Florida, he probably left them sitting on his tool bench.

I’m in my 20’s, my friends are all about computers, phones etc. I’m in to that too, but I really love gadgets which don’t require electricity. Don’t know why, just find them so relaxing and beautiful to see true craftsmanship.
Things that I include in this is my watch collection, fountain pens, zippo, Swiss pen knife, safety razor, leather belts, leather shoes, gold coins.... I’m wanting to get into fishing golf and cycling in the next few years too. But my watches are my pride and joy, and take up most of my heart and bank account.

Vintage 80s arcade games. Original cabinets with new guts. I’ve got space for 5 in my game room. Galaga, Centipede, Asteroids, Missile Command and Zaxxon right now. Trying to switch out Zaxxon for Tempest or something else right now.

Blurays (I have more not pictured)
I also very recently started collecting Folio Society books. Purchased three, and when they arrived I was so impressed with the quality that I ordered five more. Far exceeded my high expectations. Great customer service too...my only regret is not discovering them sooner because I missed out of some great limited editions. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk |

Vinyl
For Example On February 27, 1973, the Dark Side of the Moon album was presented to the public for the first time at a press presentation that took place at The London Planetarium. Members of the press who attended this presentation were given a copy of the LP (matrix: SHVL 804 A-2 G 1 / SHVL 804 B-2 G 1). Approx 280 were pressed for this advance press release. These pre date the first pressing and did not include stickers or a poster. This example is Mint Minus with a virtually unplayed record. |

Memories.
Picture library is now many terabytes and growing. I sometimes wonder when and if we will ever revisit and see all those videos and pictures. I hardly have any pictures of my childhood and have been compensating for that ever since I could

Have been on the hunt for the 12 page booklet given out to the press as well. Not even sure any of them still even exist. |

Love the shark teeth - quite amazing to think what they've seen!!
I collect vintage Gillette razors and modern shaving brushes. I built quite a large collection and use a vintage Gillette every day. Much of the thrill is in the chase for particular razors - ones that are new old stock for example. There are certain models that are highly sought after. |
