Now that is just too cute.
Actually life is pretty good. ;-)
Collected this little guy this weekend. Hope he makes it.

Some of my Morgan Silver Dollars and a half-dozen of my Peace Dollars. Been keeping them in airtight coin holders for decades...

1960's-1970's snowmobiles, 1/16th scale farm toys, Vermont license plates, Chevy pickups, farm tractors, hats.
I'm a hoarder trying to be less of a hoarder, so I am trying to downsize, but I love local history, so I keep any of these items that were family or have a known local history/story.
I'll include a picture of the '51 Chevy I got for free when I was 13, my '87 GMC with 24,000 original miles, my toy collection before the downsize and the '67 Sno Jet that was my grandmothers. She was the doctor here in town for 30 years and purchased this machine for emergency house calls in bad weather. She only used it for one house call, but also rode it for fun too.

70's turntables. Never intended to collect 'em, just fell in love with the elegance of the machinery and found myself unable to resist each one found. Up to a dozen now-- hmm, maybe more-- in various states of function and/or restoration.
I'm often frustrated by the hipster competition from vinyl's peculiar resurgence, yet just as often thankful for the hoarding temptation it has removed.
Heh, idler-drive Duals can make one appreciate the relative simplicity of a saw tear down & carb tuning. Still, I'd love to find one of those 1229's-- underneath a Rube Goldberg work of art.nice, very nice need a dual 1229? I still use my Heathkit AR 1500... kicker amp! I mean kicker amp!! tuner... a pure 35 watts RMS per channel!
I think you left out "dust".Just seen this post. I've been collecting stuff for 40 years or better. Old pocket watches which I completely disassemble and clean, oil and fix if something simple. Coins, fruit jars of which I had around 800 but sold off most of my good ones when I lost my job in 08. Coca cola, Pepsi, any old bottle pretty much if it interests me. Stamps, albums, knives, books, glass lined tin jacketed oil cans, ANYTHING OLD pretty much.
