I collect fountain pens and, if available, the matching pencil. I also collect straight razors. I have my grandfather's and shave with it frequently. I also have 1 vintage DE (safety) razor that is a mint condition birth year/quarter Gillette Super Speed Flair 1957, 4th quarter - date code C4.

You must have to use very small hooks to catch those flies right out of mid-air like that:hand5:Quote:

When I was younger I collected space stuff - some of my favs is an 8 x 10 of the first Challenger crew (signed by each astronaut) and snapshot of the astronauts walking out to the Challenger for its final mission that a friend who was there took. I've also got a small piece of a shuttle (Columbia if memory serves) that a friend's dad who worked for NASA gave me. It was a childhood collection, mostly patches and stickers and some photos NASA sent when I wrote them asking for info - I really need to get it out of the box it's in and display some of it.
I really don't collect anything anymore, except grey hairs - I blame my kids...
holsters
I can't even do that...mine turns loose before it has a chance to turn grey. That started well before my kids, so I'm blaming my old lady (and yes, I affectionately refer to her as that when she is around...just like she has little pet names for me that if I posted would get me infraction points).Quote:

Most of my collection comes from cheap sources. The most expensive knife I own only cost about 150.00, the rest are under fifty or sixty bucks. Not all are stilettos. I have other frames as well.
I collect Mustang stuff, both automobilia and the cars themselves. My main area of interest is the Fox body cars from 79-93. I've had several, including a couple of Saleen's, but am currently down to two.
