Washington Nationals bobbleheads, beer bottlecaps (will do something with them someday), wooden duck decoys, baseball team pins. My wife tells me I collect fish, but I do not. I keep South American Cichlids.

Howdy Canadian Banknotes and Hondo and all the other guys over there on the other side of the world. One day when I get enough posts (I think I need 50) I will send you over some Aussie beer bottle caps if you're interested and will swap you some of our AA polymer notes. Hondo, I'm into fish as well and like you don't care much for chiclids, most of my fish are Bristlenose, Peppermint, Albino and Calico Bristlenose catfish. Cheers from down under.

Right where to start. Excellent, thanks heaps as I really enjoyed some of your comments very much as I have "collected fish" in the past(I like that, very funny). And HONDO look up lagerphone, I know of 2 different sort that some country music bands use out here.
One you get a broom stick (stick only:) and nail a heap of bottle caps on the end and then there's one where you place a board about 2 foot x 2 foot on one end then get the bottle caps and nail them to the borad in rows about 2 inches apart so it covers the hole board then tap the bottom of the stick on the ground.
Hay fellow grump..funny I've been told the same..would by chance she call you a..dare I say.."hoarder" pttt,pttt,pttt hard to even say the work, LOL. I like to think I have an extensive collection of various "artifacts" HAHAHAHA.
And carmykle what do you mean by "conductors" very interesting.
It's interesting to see what others collect as well, thanks again people.

carnival glass seems to be cheapish here, recently looked at a jug and 5 glasses go for $20 with only I bid, also silver and gold trimmed glass sets selling for $15 on a local ebay sell/swap page. maybe its the kids who inherited them, who are selling it without knowledge? or its lost its appeal.
