Zealot Posted August 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2019 Do you collect anything? I collect several things. But my biggest addiction is hats. I have so many. I have many in boxes in my closet, but I try to keep the ones I like best and wear the most displayed on racks. I jus bought this one: Nothing special, got it cheap. But I love the whiskey coloring of the leather. I need an intervention... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted August 16, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 16, 2019 I have a decent collection of (primarily) hand tools. I may or may not have a small collection of Berettas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was headed up by Florida Yankee by private group message on Facebook. It might have been airhead. He had new hats coming in every day for weeks. I figured he had more practical hats than he would ever need so I sent him an octopus hat. He posted some photos on the forum of himself wearing the hats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted August 16, 2019 Share #25 Posted August 16, 2019 Numismatics. I collect coins. I get the US Mint's annual uncirculated and proof sets plus any other coins that I like such as the recent baseball coin. I'm also on the lookout for the new 2019 W mint marked quarters. Donkpow helped me with finding one. If I find a wheatie penny, that makes my day. Same goes for any nickels older than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted August 16, 2019 Share #26 Posted August 16, 2019 I collected aviation trinkets for years. Uniform wings from all over the world, uniform buttons and cigarette lighters, etc. I donated it all to an aviation museum to clear the clutter. I only miss a large bronze commemorative coin that was issued when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. Probably should have kept it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted August 16, 2019 Share #28 Posted August 16, 2019 I had a small collection of fitted baseball hats. While traveling, I'd try to hit a game & buy one of the home team's hats. I prolly had 8, or so. While I was out of town one time, Wo2 decided that they we too dusty and threw them all into the washing machine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been collecting magnets. Eventually, they took over the fridge, so I moved them to a magnet board that hangs in the study. But we ran out of space there, so I stopped collecting magnets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad hung oot in the town barbershop where the proprietor in his 90s had shelves of old cameras and the pics to go with them. The barber recently had to pack it in and move oot - a sad day.

Longjohn ★ Posted August 17, 2019 Share #41 Posted August 17, 2019 I collect medical equipment by accident from each bike crash I’ve had. I have crutches, a grabber, a sock tool, shower chair, adult potty chair, cryopneumatic shoulder brace, and multiple arm slings of many different types. My wife is trying to beat me in her collection. She has an aluminum walker with no wheels, a wheelie walker with a seat, a cane, a wheelchair, and as of tonight a chairlift for getting up the stairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
