    Default What else do you all collect??

    I'm not sure if this has been posted in the past but I could't find anything.

    Besides fountain pens that I'm brand new at, I collect books, guns and knives, coins and old coyote calls....yes, coyote calls. Coyote hunting is very popular out here in Arizona.

    I would be interested in reading about what other members on this forum collect.

    Thanks!

    I don't know if any of it is actual collecting, but I buy lots of wine, perfume, and books (literature, science fiction, theology, biblical studies, mathematics, history, and writers I especially like).

    Collect is too strong a word, but role playing games, mechanical keyboards (for typing), headphones. Musical gear.

    Here is a photo of some Rough Rider knives I have been working on for the last year or so. They are a inexpensive Chinese brand knife but I feel the quality of these knives are outstanding.

    Old cameras, especially the ones looking like these:



    It's so refreshing to produce darkroom prints from one of these cameras:

    I bet! I wish I still had the stacks and stacks of them I had when I was a kid. And the reel to reel tapes.

    Check this out! Colt police Positive, fully engraved and nickle plated with authentic mother of pearl grips.

    Even the anti gunners can appreciate this as a work of art...no??

    Nothing other than experiences. I don't even collect pens, though some have accumulated among my possessions.

    Beware of the man who owns but one gun (like yours truly): he likely knows how to use it.

    I just finished watching the movie Pawn Sacrifice. Great movie that all chess players would appreciate. Great film.

    My house is really small, so I'm not much of a collector. One thing I used to collect and might still collect if I had display space is slide rules. I love them, and they really helped me understand order of magnitude and logarithms. Some of them are works of art.

    I buy way too many books, though I wouldn't call myself a collector.

    Got a lot of those, too. But only a couple hundred of so.

    Weapons of various types, cars, and watches is the big one. Fountain pens are by far the most fun
