Anyone Collect Anything???

[mjjr61250]

 
I collect all types of baseball memorabilia. Primarily Yankee. I have autographs of Mickey Mantle, on a picture and baseball, autographed cards of Cat Fish Hunter, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Pictures of Don Newcomb, Steve Garvey, Harmon Killebrew, Lou Dials from the Negro League, and many others. I have probably upward of 20,000 baseball cards going back as far as the 1940's. Lot of stuff from my father and from shows and E-bay.

Ive recently started collecting shields or plaques of the various units, regiments and other defence and military entities and establishments i have been in or attached to over the years. Some of which have since been disbanded. Part of the fun is hunting them out before they can go on the wall. You can definately tell a lowering in the quality of the woodwork and mouldings of the newer ones compared to the older ones.

   I can relate to the garage tools and sighns etc, within my militaria collections i have been collecting the tools that came with the various military vehicles i have as well as WW2 era US army carpenters, mechanics and armourers tools and rolls, chests etc some of this stuff i highly sought after by collectors so goes for silly prices at times. Similarly i have a large collection of Gerrycans and in hunting them out i see lots of historic civilian gas station or oil company items and car company advertisement signs items which are highly saught after too. I love all that old stuff too but cant collect everything i suppose eh
   My latest aquisitions have been additions to my military radio and Artillery collections but the rarest was a few additions to my WW2 GIs personal gear collection - original unused military issue shaving cream and roll of toilet paper (Yep that what i said) which make an unusual addition to my private WW2 museum

To Dan93,  yes many a time i have had to look at some item or other and not bid (booo Hooo) presently looking at a complete genuine WW2 GI field kitchen to replace the partial one i have, but dont think i should commit the funds right now. As for the loo paper it is a small roll as included in a ration pack with a label wrapped around it marked "Made for the U.S. Army by the maker of Waldorf A scott tissue, US Patent Office, Scottpaper, Chester P.A." it always gets attention when i display it with the gear at a public display. Strangely enough people love seeing or learning of those small items that are part of a WW2 soldiers  life that they never think of.

Dust bunnies.  I keep a large collection of dust bunnies under the bed all winter long, then release them to the wild every spring.  Apparently they reproduce like all other bunnies and re-infiltrate the room the following autumn so that they have a warm place to spend the winter.

LOL!
Unlike your dust bunnies I never release the souls I collect.  For some reason they never want to come back to me

I used to collect baseball cards and coins. Now I typically just collect good links on the internet. Never know when I might need that article or online program.

To Dan93

      Well i surcomed to temptation and bought the WW2 US Army field kitchen. So now have one complete in every way straight out of the box never opened since it was packed in 1944 and one partial one with replica base and LP Gas burner instead of the original petrol powered system. And you will like my latest aquisition, a WW2 era British army broad arrow marked BSB large Tap and Die Set in box plus another different set with box missing. I am presently cleaning them up and retoring the remaining steel box as they have suffered abit from surface rust. But at least they were free and so far they are cleaning up nicely.
