I collected four postwar Lionel engines and tenders in the last month, that brings my total to 9 and a bunch of rolling stock. Shotguns, pistols and rifles, antique pottery and glass, fishing gear ( man I have too much fishing stuff! ) Pressed steel Tonka, Structo, Buddy L, Wyandotte, Marx trucks, dimestore 50's cars and trucks in plastic tin and hard rubber.Old plain Matchbox, Tootsietoy, other cast vehicles, not the crazy weird kind, just plain old normal looking vehicles.
Toy antique buses. I could fill a closet with baseball stuff.I have 700 CD's and about 400 vinyl LP records from Cowboy singers to Orchestra, Rock to opera. Polka to Christmas. You name it, I probably collected it.

Have a collection of about 200 faceted unset gemstones.
Oh, yes!, and a 6.9 liter Mercedes. (low flying loungeroom)
Also have about 1000 books on numismatics, aircraft, ships, gemnology, railways, geology, geography, history, horology, (science of timekeeping), and Christian reference & historical books.
Arts entertainment and literature? Sorry, I am a Philistine!

•Old electrical instruments and equipment. •Old woodworking hand tools. • Compliments No, forget that!  •Grandchildren, just lately •Rubbish (this item sponsored by long suffering wife) Seasons greetings to everyone, {Why don't we have any Santa or Christmas smileys? Can I import smilies from elsewhere?} Jeff Almost forgot...Holden one tonners. This will mean nothing to our our American friends but, think "Chev El Camino" and you are almost in the same park. Then Google "Holden one tonner" to get a better idea what it is.  My everyday work vehicle. Stop that; I am serious! Edited by Jeff

Wow! An error drink can. Now that is unusual.
Ausjack,
I have had the tonner about 5 years now. Runs a Nissan RB30 5 speed. Replaced another tonner that had a quite hot 308 + supra 5 speed but it was rather expensive for fuel when prices started soaring. I have another one in the shed, not far from complete, with 3.3 injected and celica 5 speed; big hotwires, GTS dash, statesman interior trim and calais seats. Dual fuel tanks, slide out drawer under tray and (yet to happen) timber planking to go on tray.

I like to collect old poured bullion. Old hand tools that are still usable (I don't have any use for something that just sits on a shelf). Old steel beer and soda cans sometimes that I find when pulling apart a house.
