I love 1/18th scale modlel cars ... especailly older models like the 1931 Alpha Romeo"BC Monza" which I supplied a picture of. I'd really love the real cars, but my budget is a bit constrained for that. I probably have 30 or 40 of these models.

Here, I'll share one more of my "car model" collection. This one being Emperor Hirohito's Mercedes Benz. This is the same 1/18th scale as the other picture.

I've got a ridiculously large collection of salt and pepper shakers, a passion I inherited from my grandmother. I'm also an antique junky. I especially love antique toys. Just another sign of my determination not to grow up I guess. Unfortunately, the increasing volume of gray hair is a sign that I am losing the battle.

Crikey, here comes the essay:-

• When I was young, for some reason I used to collect clocks just to keep. Having got rid of that habit for many years, it soon returned to haunt me, but this time the clocks were to be used!
• After finding one once, cat's eyes, from the road.
• Dice (After the Diceman programme)
• Conkers, during season. I have none now though.

Axe, If I am not mistaken I see a copy of A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony on your bookshelf... Am I right?

I forgot about the dice. These damn things seem to have accumulated too.
Everything from oversize carnival dice and novelty dice to souvenirs from the Sahara and calibrated, matched, serial numbered casino bones.
I think my favorite are the tiny, 5/16” (in the lid of the matched set) that were supposedly devised in Alabama by blacks, during the Jim Crow days, to foil the authorities trying to stop street corner crap games by simply swallowing them.

PF, I love your latest 3 monkey, they are 'cute' in a funny way. I was looking for you in that pic though.

When you took the dice pic, you forgot to include the fuzzy pair hanging from the rear view mirror in your car. You DO have them don't you?

Collect lapel pins. They don't take up as much room. Also old Peter Max books. Wish I still had my old notebooks from high school. We ruthlessly de-junked and donated massive amounts when we moved into our house. I really love the bright colors of the 70's Peter Max.

What are you, 500?

Oddly enough folks I have just a few collections...Madame Alexander dolls, minature shoes, cats, and fairies and any thing Irish. I also collect dragons, knives and sort of macabre dolls...I have RiffRaff, Morticia and Gomez Addams, Merlin and Morgan LeFaye, a Twisted Tatum, and several Living Dead Dolls.

Yes I know those two sets of things don't quite match up but I am an odd mix of twisted and normal too. If nothing else my house has interesting decor. :lust:

Well, let me see...

I am probably one of the few people that still owns cassettes...and I have an odd collection of music on them that ranges from the 60/70s to just a few years back. (I think there is over 150 by now.)

We (hubby & I) have about 250-300 cds or more between us.

I collect certain Ty Beanie Babies.

I also collect Unicorns, Fairies, Dragons, Wolves, Candles, Candle Holders (just a few here), and anything else that strikes my fancy when I see it.

The funny thing is that hubby feels that he doesn't collect anything...but he has his own collection of TRF mugs, dragons, wolves, a couple of Star Trek items, and his odd assortment of swords, knives, and guns.

So, just between him and I, our house is quite full.
