what other things do you collect?
We all collect firearm related things and I'm sure many have knives and coins, too.
I collect money bags or other things with logos or advertising from banks that are no longer in business [or at least no longer going by the same name].
I also have a very small collection of the really old post card packets - the small boxes with several photos of a given area or attraction.

Found a Blantons special reserve today.gearheaddad wrote:austin20 wrote:Started collecting whiskey about six months ago, mostly bourbon, up to nearly 100 bottles now
I too have been collecting Bourbon over the last year or so!
However, I'm only around 30 bottles. It's fun to find some harder to find Bourbons on a shelf where you wouldn't expect to see it! Just found Blantons and Eagle Rare at my local chain grocery store!
I also collect most everything that goes with vintage sporting guns, waterfowl guns, and western guns. Such as, knives, decoys, western, Native American, and sporting/hunting art, books, duck calls, live caller harnesses, a few old shell boxes and powder cans, and of course pocket watches and a number of fobs.
I sold most of my outboard motor collection, so now I only have 2hp and under little vintage outboards. I probably only have 12-15 outboards left with only 5 or so displayed in my den.
I need a bigger den!0 -

I'm not familiar with a Blantons Special Reserve. I'll be over about 4:30, we can split the bottle!0 -
A screen shot from my computer showing the main menu on a database I constructed.
All of the squares are "command buttons" for various things.
The odd shaped drawing with all of the command buttons on the inside is a layout of my "Collection Room". Each of the command buttons creates a list of the specific items in that cabinet. For example: Cabinet Number 7 contains 243 items ranging from metal buttstock cleaning kits for the M-1903 Springfield rifle (43 each but only counted as one item in the database) to wicks for immersion heaters (16 each but only counted as one item in the database). No, this is NOT a store or business for me. I just have "piles" and "boxes" of "stuff". None of it is for sale. "HE" is the high explosives area. There are 290 items there. No, none of the really big stuff is live. All of the live stuff is on the opposite wall listed with the "AMMO" button.
The "Total Items" with number (circled in red for this shot) is a current total of items in the collection generated each time the main menu is opened. The number shown is current as of right now. I still have approximately 150 items sitting around here that I have not entered into the database yet. Of course, I am constantly on the look out for things I don't have.
Yea, I collect "Military Things".
No, the database does NOT include a gun collection.
The US military at one time or another had some very weird things in their inventory. Now I have them in my collection.
We have no children. It is going to be a heckuv an estate sale.0 -
