What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?

[TPK]

Speaking of cameras, here's something most people don't know about me....
I have a photographic memory.




Problem is they stopped selling my film about 30 years ago.

LOL!

For you license plate collectors. I found this while I was looking for something else. It's a list of the license plate color combinations for the year 1932. There were only 48 states at the time, so no Alaska or Hawaii plates.

I found this in a 1932 newspaper also.

Just recently bought this display from SMKW to display a few of the Challenge Coins I collect.

David, that is an awesome collection of challenge coins. I'm going to have to get me this display case...I've got approx. 35 coins I've collected during my Navy tenure and they're in a drawer right now. Here's a few I've collected.

Thanks for showing your collection.

Very cool and I recognized several of them. Thanks for posting them.

I have a white-on-black VA plate. I think it's from 1948? I think. Hanging up in the basement right now.

I've noticed some states, like New York for example, still use the old color combos to this date. Any others?

We visited our son at the house he bought outside of Lafayette, Macon County, Tennessee, United States. This is limestone with a nice brachiopod and a partially exposed one and others was sitting along the fire pit. No telling where it is actually from or who left it there, but it may well be a local find. Richmondian (Upper Ordovician) strata in the Central Basin of Tennessee. Ordovician Period beginning 488.3 million years ago and ending 443.7 million years ago.
1 5/8" w 4.2 cm x 1 1/4 3.2 cm high Brachiopods- Rafinesquina ponderosa- showing one side- Ordovican. also a partially exposed 2 cm wide.
The slab is 5 1/4 wide x 8 1/2 in tall. 2 1/4 in thick

My other collecting hobbies, besides knives, are diecast cars, antiques, and guitars n' such.

[Just Plain Dave]

Besides Knives (which I haven't bought one in months) pens (not really expensive ones) but I try to get them to write perfectly.
I do have an old pen pencil set that was my Grandpas.
Watches, have a few expensive ones and many cheap ones. Have one my Grandpa was given when he retired from Armco Steel Works. It is quartz but I can't change the battery. I have a fairly old handwind Timex.
Coins (still irks me that Dad sold my Framed sets of 20th century type coins both obverse and reverse for $150.) Always checking 1983 for a copper version but probably will never find one. Have a bit of silver coins but not enough to really make a difference.
Lately besides making up boxes for Trish I make up perfect rolls of Wheats and 60s coins.
Diecast cars. Have some early Matchbox and a fair number of modern stuff that caught my eye.
Trying to get back to flying RC but crashed one hard and haven't the nerve to try another.
Old tools. Have an old Craftsman pliers and a hammer from Grandpas time period.

Now that's what sounds like a fine collection Dave; would love to see some pics, if your able too.

One cool thing about Coleman lanterns is that they have the month and year of manufacture stamped into the steel. It's fun to collect lanterns from your birth month/year, or to give appropriate dated lanterns as birthday or anniversary gifts. I wish all knives had the date of manufacture on them!

[cudgee]

I did not know that about Coleman lanterns. This is why AAPK is a great learning platform.

[KLJ77]

Desmobob...those are very enlightening. Unique and probably some are quite rare or hard to find. One thing about it, if there's ever an EMP hit, you'll have plenty of lighting accessories.

I live right up the road from Lafayette and across the state line. About 20 miles or so due north. Small world.
