Cool Jeff :thumbup: i used to collect old baseball cards, but i had to sell them off about 10 years ago. i was one short of the 1957 topps set. i still have interest in them, but never started spending again.
not sure i really have anything to contribute now. but, i am looking forward to everyone else's collections.

It's Red & White lures for me, suppose I have a few hundred, but usually find a couple new ones at every swap meet and flea market. I had to find something inexpensive to collect. Were I a wealthy man, my preference for collecting would have been motorcycles.
Actually one of my favorite bass lures to use are red & white Bass Oreno's, Spin Oreno's, Babe Oreno's. I throw 'em with a bamboo casting rod and a Kalamazoo direct drive knuckle buster reel.

Jeff, the shaving items are very neat!
John, do you have a copy of "The Outdoor Handy Book" by D.C. Beard? circa 1914, It's full of great ideas and projects for boys! Things like, how to build a ballista or a blowgun.
How to stun and capture Catfish
How to sail a raft
The complete rules for Mumbly Peg!
Everything you ever wanted to know about shooting marbles
pretty cool stuff from the pre-TV, pre-PC, pre Video days
Here is a blurb from Amazon:
Ingenuity and self-reliance are valuable qualities in a boy or man," writes famed outdoorsman Daniel Carter Beard. And what better way to foster them than by workingor playingwith your hands? For fathers who want to build the model ships (or real boats!) they never knew how to build, and sons who want to build the ultimate snow fort, The Outdoor Handy Book is a perfect compendium of wisdom and mischief. In its pages are directions for flying paper dragons, stilt-walking, playing dozens of ball games, building doghouses, capturing butterflies and frogs, and much more. Fully illustrated, and replete with notes to make sure that your fun is varied, continuous, and instructional in every season of the year, The Outdoor Handy Book is great all-ages activities resource, whether you're at the workbench or communing with nature.

Don`t have that one. My best finds were "Professional Guides Manual" by George L. Herter for $0.75 at a junk shop near Macomb, and "The Hell With Fishing" and "How To Tell Fish From Fisherman", both by Ed Zern, that I inherited from my great uncle.

I had collected disc golf plastic as I played from the mid-80s to the mid 90s pretty regularly.
I still have a bunch of old stuff, and the very first DGA player disc from 1976 - the only one I have ever seen.
I have a very small collection of multi-tools, mostly first gen PSKs, and a small assortment of other brands. I just like them.
These are two very early PSK - one the fairly rare hollow rivet Japan model, the other an second version from the early 80s.
Then there are the die-cast motorcycles - I guess there is a fine line between collecting and accumulating, which also goes for the small collection of die-cast Corvettes. I did finally settle on only pace cars to keep the collection small, then I stopped looking for them at all.
I made this one to look like my Z06 - CB whip and all -
I have a small collection of Caterpillar die-casts - I used to buy one a year until I had the complete product line (one of each product type...), but last year I stopped doing that as I am getting closer to retirement and I start thinking about what I am going to do with all this stuff lol.
I have a small collection of Harley-Davidson related "stuff", most of which was gifted to me during my Harley riding days.
Lastly, my small collection of Jack Daniels decanters, which I still actively pursue old, filled bottles of interest. I have been doing that for 30 plus years, and have a nice collection of some old JD that will eventually be opened and enjoyed unless I croak before I get to them. Waiting for retirement to start sampling the old timers and specials.
Love that little strop, Jeff!!

My first son arrived several weeks ahead of schedule. At that time his mother was in the hospital for many days. The first weekend in the hospital there was a 007 marathon on one of the few channels in her room. I watched enough Bond that weekend to last me the rest of my life.

Flashlights are like potato chips, especially if you frequent CPF!
I've also been into lights for ~ 15 years. What's in your collection?
Jeff
