What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?

If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

I used to collect coins, sold most off to help with remodeling projects. Just have a few left that my kids gave me as presents, sentimental value. Wife and I started collecting Tell city maple furniture. Tell city chair co. (like Schrade) was an old time company, started way back that couldn't hang on and went out of business about 12 years ago or so. Mostly Solid maple well made furniture produced in Tell city Indiana by American Craftsman . It's still inexpensive especially relative to new and the beauty of the eastern hardrock maple is hard to surpass imho. A few months ago I was looking at my Schrade buzzsaw that I traded some coins for about 10 years ago. Forgot how cool it was until I took it out of the box, did some research and here I am, buying knives made in the U.S.A. by a legacy company that is now out of business. ( I don't count China knockoffs as the same company).

M-MIKE: That is a beauty. When I got mine some fool had cut the carved base off and built a cheesey looking base to make is a hall/floor piece and then painted it with a yellow antiquing paint kit. Took me forever with dental picks to get it out of the carved walnut !! Yours appears to have the same movement, long pendulum, double drive weights, ceramic face. The old clockmaker who regulated it said he loved the sound of it's ticking, kept it on his wall for an extra week just to listen. Thanks for the pic. J.O'.

Thanks!

Yep, I love to listen to mine tick!
My clock's face is paper over a brass back.

The weights hang on strings..... I think that is just so cool.

Mine was missing a few small parts (finials) but one of the guys in our clock and watch club helped me restore it. It is back just like the catalog picture now.

This one has brass cables. Those weights are heavy and would probably go through the floor of the clock if one broke. I'm missing the entire lower carving beneath the floor like the last pic on the right of your advertising page. Also to two finials on the top corners. I've timed her, she'll run eight days, 7 hrs. +/- on a full wind. Fun clocks! Pieces of history. ::tu:: J.O'.

Had the Buffalo nickel in my pocket for a week with not much improvement, trying the Coke bath now. Some say I have bats in my belfry. 🤭

If that doesn't work mate, try baking soda and vinegar. Did a science experiment years ago in school, worked great on brass pennies. Couldn't hurt, unless it breakes down silver, which I don't know about...

Thanks, Willy. I did a few Coca Cola baths and got this far. It could have been buried for close to 100 years, I believe it's dated 1920.

Serh Thomas, mahogany case, C.1920's
Ansonia "Medina" 5' walnut, regulator wall clock, 1882
Ingraham, c. 1890's oak Kitchen clock
Westbury, c. 1890's oak Kitchen clock
Back of 1911, Smith's Enfield brass engine room clock
Face and beveled crystal of Smith's Enfield
Sessions, Banjo clock, c.1920's
American Clock Co., C. 1860, Cast iron figural clock. I have a photo of Boston Corbett, the soldier who shot John Wilkes Booth seated at a table with a very similar clock.

All the clocks work very well. I knew an old clock maker who regulated each one for me. He died about twenty years ago. Don't know what I'll do if one goes bad. I wind each one a couple times each year, so far, so good.
J.O'.
I like old clocks too. About five years ago I bought my first, a non-working mantle clock for just a few bucks. As fate would have it, and without any prior knowledge I fixed it....I then started buying "broken" vintage and antique clocks. I am able, without knowledge or tools, to be able to get about 50% of them running. At first, it was hard to forgive myself for my failures, but I have gotten over it.... I give my failures to a real clock maker that lives about 50 miles away and he uses them for parts. If I were younger, I would pursue the hobby with more effort.

If you want to see some of your clocks in situ, watch the old western, "High Noon." ;)

I built the "grandfather" clock out of some antique lumber and put an orphaned movement it it. I really like the old wall clocks, here is the cream of my stash. The first "wall clock" is labeled "South Georgia Clock Co." The third is a Seth Thomas Garfield model. (the only one that is valuable) The other large wall clock is an unknown "store clock."

Don't worry about the bats. Insanity is the spice of life. Take it from an expert.

We had our watch & Clock club meeting yesterday. One of the guys has many, MANY clocks. I am trying to make a deal with him for one of his Perpetual, Calendar clocks. These clocks have the most AMAZING movements!
That clock has a gear that goes around only ONCE every 4 YEARS and it holds up February for one day during leap year. That movement takes account for LEAP YEAR!

These movements were made by clock makers that only had the equipment available to them in the late 1800's and early 1900's..... WOW!!

I'm starting a new collection of ::hmm:: umm ::shrug:: Stuff. :mrgreen:

I'll just call it "transportation related stuff" to decorate the inside of my pretty large carport. The main portion of the collection will probably be U.S. license plates. Other things I am thinking of are a motor cycle wheel, a Ford Mustang hub cap, maybe an old oil can or two, some tools & whatever else I can come up with. ::hmm::

If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know. ::nod:: ::tu::

Anyways, I should already have license plates from MD, FL & PENN somewhere. ::hmm:: Just have to look for them. ::paranoid:: And I just bought one from Alabama. ::nod:: I liked it because it reminds me of the song "Sweet Home Alabama". ::super_happy:: Of course I will need several more states to make it a nice collection and give the car port that "Man's Cave" feeling. We will use the car port for outside get togethers and the like. I'll keep you all updated with pictures as the collection grows. ::nod::

Anyways here is the first plate I bought for the car port. ::tu::

Great idea, Tom, will be fun to watch it take shape.....you will share photos, right?
Have you ever seen any of these old plates in antique stores over there? That would be cool to have on your wall.

Hi Ike,

Yes I'll be sure to post some pictures of it all here as I go and add new things to it. ::nod:: ::tu:: ::handshake::

:shock: Wow! ::woot:: Now that's a real cool plate! :shock: That one would be perfect for the collection! ::nod:: I have never ran across any of those before. Maybe I'll get lucky enough to find one of those some day. Thanks for sharing that picture because I have never seen one of those plates so I wouldn't have known they even existed. ::handshake:: I'll be on the look out for one of them now. ::paranoid:: :shock: ::paranoid:: ::super_happy::

Edit: Is that one yours? Were you stationed in Germany? ::shrug:: If so it's cool! 8) ::tu:: That one is from 61, I didn't get here till 91. ::super_happy::

OK Folks, so here is a rather strange collection I started about a year ago. Wood knots. :oops: ::shrug::

As to why, your guess is as good as mine. I believe it started with one of the smaller knots that I found and I thought, ::hmm:: hmmm that would look nice on a lanyard. Then I just started collecting them. I am a warehouse clerk and where there are palletes, you will find wood knots from time to time. ::nod::

But collecting wood knots is not even the strangest part. :mrgreen: The strangest part of it all is that I like to stand them on end & spray Ballistol oil on them. I let it soak in (can take anywhere from a few min. - a few hrs.) and them repeat the process 4-5 times. Then I turn the knot onto the opposite end and repeat the process yet again untill the knots have been soaked all the way through with Ballistol oil. Why do I do this you may ask. I have no idea. ::shrug:: I think I'm just addicted to the smell of the oil and wood knots are cheaper than pocket knives. :lol: :mrgreen: It does make them look nicer. ::nod::

What will I do with them? ::hmm:: ::shrug:: Not really sure yet. ::hmm:: Maybe I will put a couple of them on lanyards and maybe I'll make some kind of strange art figures that nobody wants out of them. ::shrug:: I don't know yet. ::shrug::

Untill I figure that out, I'll just continue collecting them & enjoying the smell of Ballistol oil. :lol:

Getting back to the license plates topic. I did a search & recovery mission in the barn. ::tu::

Here's what I came across and then how I mounted them on the barn door. I didn't find one from MD after all. :x I thought I had one. ::hmm:: ::shrug:: Oh well, I need more of them anyways. ::nod:: Think I'll add about 8-10 more. MD, Hawaii, Texas, GA, NC & WV just to name a few off the top of my head. ::hmm:: Oh & I'd like to add a Ford Mustang hub cap too. ::nod:: That should be enough. ::tu::

Great idea, Tom, will be fun to watch it take shape.....you will share photos, right?
Have you ever seen any of these old plates in antique stores over there? That would be cool to have on your wall.

No, I should have made that clear, I just ran across that photo.
