<p>[QUOTE="AuDragon, post: 403627, member: 6974"]I always seem to have been collecting and started with the usual coins and stamps as a boy. Became addicted to a weekly American Civil War illustrated comic magazine and card series (odd for an Ausie boy) which probably accounts for my year living in America and more than 20 business trips. This was all before I was 10 years old and in 1964 I bought my first item, a painted traymobile (double tray on wheels you served afternoon tea from) which I restored to its original wood and on which I kept my typewriter in my bedroom, much to the disgust of my patents who saw it as junk! I guess I have never stopped collecting and have gone through many periods including Victorian furniture to match a 1900 house I renovated and art deco furniture which I still have in my current 130-year-old renovated railway workers cottage. Oh, I still have the coins and the stamps and a storage shed of collectibles. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
