Bivy has a great colleting - very differnet - Azalea and Beech - all well cared for and - OH gee - I really need to visit and take those photos, The yared is just perfect for them.

I tried collecting animal bones when I was a kid but my mom threw out that first little bird skull I had sitting on my windowsill. I guess it might've stunk a bit.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Shoot, I had tons of skeletons and bugs in jars when I was a kid. They were cool.

 

[Ryan]

I started collecting Bossons chalkware heads. A rare one on ebay last night was bid up to $450. I wouldn't spend that much but even the damaged ones are pricey. I think they are neat as hell though.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's unusual!

 

[Ryan]

My wife would agree with you.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's kinda creepy, really - all those faces staring at you...

Earlier this week I sent around 800lbs of magazines to the library. That was a pretty large collection I'd amassed. And no, none of that was porn.

Couldn't part with 'em, or too heavy?

 

[Mr. Sir]

A few of my knick knacks:

 

[gf beranek]

For a religious type you sport a nice collection of hardware. What religion is that anyway?

 

[Mr. Sir]

I suppose you could call it Militant Catholicism.

 

[gf beranek]

I'll check out a local chapter.

 

[stig]

Is that .32 caliber black powder a replica or an original, Brett?

Looks a little to ornately carved for an original.

Nice collection.
Had it been mine, there would have been a Krag-Jorgensen included, of course. Just for patriotism

 

[treebogan]

I collect guns,my Father does and my Grandfather did.

I don't know how many we have in total,but it could be close or over 100 firearms.My Parents are moving from the Family home next year and we have to slim down the collection.Sometimes at Auction you have to by the "lot" of perhaps three to five guns to get the one you actually want.

So we have numerous common guns in average condition,we will sell these and by a few more quality examples of less common arms.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't have a single firearm. Go figure...

I'd rather collect guitars.

 

[Al Smith]

I have a few firearms but I've only ever bought two which are a 58 cal muzzle loader and a sporterized M1917 Eddystone .The rest were family heirlooms .

I kind of look at firearms as if the were a tool like a saw or hammer .Different strokes for different folks .

 

[Mr. Sir]

Stig, on the .32 rifle, the metal parts are original and the wood is a hand-carved replacement.

 

[stig]

Cool.
I guess the woodworms ate the original.

 

[Paul B]

my current collectible, outdoor gear sharp pointy things. here is some of them;
Becker BK2 with Cold Steel SRK, Gerber LMF II Infantry, Gerber Warrant, Mora

 

[Mr. Sir]

Very nice collection! I think I'll start collecting sharp pointy things too. It makes a nice complement to things that go bang.

 

[Paul B]

got a new one delivered today, also found a pic of another pair I hadnt posted yet. I think I am done buying for a while.
SOG Seal Pup Elite with Kydex sheath, CRKT Ultima large and small version. All three knives are also the non partly serrated blade.

 

[Porkbrick]

no guns or knives here. ive got a pretty good collection of natural curiosities though. skulls, bones, mummified animals, twisted sticks, wood pearls, and birds nests.

 

[Paul B]

Cool!
