Featured Show Us Your Collections!

C'mon.

We all have them.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours?


My binoculars, opera glasses, and telescopes. Ca. 1850-1920.


My antique whistles. Ca. 1910-1970.


My collection of Victorian-era counter bells.


My collection of antique brass mortar-and-pestles.

Go on! Show us what you've got!

 

I don't. Not yet at least.

 

I'll show you yours if you'll show me mine...
All mine are in storage.

 

I haven't seen a small glass piece I haven't liked (salts, paperweights, toothpick holders, insulators, etc..) Excuse the dust, it's dark in this room and we can't see it - LOL!

 

Wow, Rayo - that's a LOTTA GLASS!

 

I hate to say it but I have boxes of glass items stored in the basement too - YIKES!!

 

Here's a bit of mine:

 

A small selection of small totem poles by Eli Tait from Metlakatla Alaska.
most of my collections are NW Coast Native art; I also have some pocket knives, bayonets, toys, carnival glass...and other stuff I can't even remember.

 

pocket knives........???

Maybe it's time I round all of mine up and put them in one place..!
Humm...

 

Love seeing all the collections.
Just imagine a lot of delphite, chalaine and blue glass which is mostly McKee, Jeannette and depression glass and that is my collection.

 

here goes,

 

Sorry for the photo quality, photos were quickly taken several years ago for insurance purposes. These enamel pins/brooches are about half of my collection.

 

Lots of cool stuff, Coreya!

I could do without the firearms, but as for the rest: really neat!

 

and more...

 

Ummmmm...
WOW!!!!

 

That is one heck of a collection, Andy! Some really beautiful pins in there!

 

Sorry if I offended anyone but the collection of firearms / bayonets which date from the 1800's to the present is in my mind no different than the jars / bottles which date from the early 1800's to the present. They are all a little piece of history with a story to tell and in the right knowledgeable hands perfectly safe.

 

Coreya, I'm sorry! I just cannot abide firearms, no matter how old, historical, or anything else.

It's a personal thing that goes WAYYYY back. I didn't mean to dismiss your collection in any way.

 

WOW.....Well, I'm happy to say I do NOT have any LARGE collections of ANYTHING (except maybe enamel clown 'paintings' ), but do collect very few of a lot of different things......10 different mouse & rat traps.....
