<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 3257051, member: 55&quot;]Forever.&nbsp; The first things I can remember collecting as&nbsp; child of age 6 or so are marbles, and coins.&nbsp; I still have all of them.&nbsp; Dinky toys, started when living overseas at age 12.&nbsp; I think I inherited collecting from my Mother&#039;s side of the family; she still had - and now I still have - every piece of sheet music she ever owned, back to around 1922.</p><p>And a tradition in that side of the family was that when a female died, her last purse would be put in the old &quot;secretary,&quot; a piece of furniture made by great-great-great Grandad during the US Civil War.&nbsp; So she had - and I still have - a&nbsp; collection of old purses going back to the Civil War.</p><p>More recently I&#039;ve been doing:&nbsp; bayonets; canoe pattern pocket knives; miniature knives; more and more Northwest Coast Native art; carnival glass; musical instruments - I guess if there are more than I can play at one time it is a collection. Model model A cars.&nbsp; It is probably a bad sign if one can&#039;t remember exactly what one collects.....</p><p>One wall in the basement....</p><p>[ATTACH=full]297671[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
