Could only keep a few, had to move about twenty before the divorce (huh what clocks lol)
These 2 are Seth Thomas #2 weight regulators. Weight driven were much more accurate than spring driven these hung in railroad stations and public places and people set their pocket watches to them. Both are 100% original no repainted dials as they were painted on zinc and paint tended to deteriorate quick. Cases never stripped and redone. The one on the left is oak, the one on the right is mahogany and has a special label in it indicating it was used in the Philadelphia school system.

A Seth Thomas #3 top pic and a #20 bottom pic this is a 60" clock that I moved because they were(dipped lol) new painted dial and refinnished case.

A small Swiss regulator that I recently picked up cheap, not my thing but for the price I couldn't pass it up.

And this Waterbury Hall Clock #62 was a special order manufactured in 1886 only available for one year. And with all the research I have done it is believed that it was purchased/ordered by my mothers great-grandfather will be residing in my home someday. The #2's at the top sold in the $10-$12 range and this clock was priced at a whopping $155 (I have a copy of the catalog)

For all you Winchester collectors I had 7 model 61's including 4 smooth bores, and a 3 digit octagon barrel with factory peeps.

Very nice clocks, streg2!

My grandfather collected clocks. He gave me an old Centurion 35-Day wall clock when I bought my first house.
Rest in Peace

I have a huge collection of car brochures. Been gathering brochures on every vehicle sold in the USA and Canada since 1969. I visit car swap meets and buy older brochures. My collection dates back to the 1920's now. Half of my basement is a vintage car library.

Any car brochures on these? Not the Owners Manuals, I have those, but any other info?
Sort of forgort before I also collect Lead Soldiers. Not the store bought kind, but I pour my own Lead in moulds to make my own. That includes tanks, cannons, planes, etc.
And not long ago I purchased brand newe moulds to make chess sets of Lead.

I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH EVERYONE!

I don't collect much other than Fireking Jadite Dishes from the 40s-60s, it is green glass restaurant ware that has become very rare these days.

However, I also design lighting, and refinish furniture as a hobby, here are some examples.

JBuck It is becoming exceedingly expensive and dIfficult to find these days! I don't know where you live but a great place to find the best quantities is in Pennsylvania. I am lucky enough to have completed the entire set a few years ago!

She has purchased most of it online. I do not know how much she spends on it. I do not think I want to know.

I have a large collection of pokemon cards that I collected when I was around 10. at the time my dad told me to sell them with the words " they are only worth what someone will pay for them" they have haunted me untill this day because I always thought they would just go up in price. I really wish he made me sell them and started a college fund for me.

All is not lost if you still enjoy them or if they have some sentimental value.

Almost everything comes back, so maybe your kids will enjoy them.

I wish I had pictures to share with everyone, but as of right now my camera is caput. That being said, in addition to coins I collect license plates, hockey cards, baseball cards, and WWII German helmets.
