I'm curious as to what things you guys and gals collect other than knives. I personally have collected tv's, cameras and pocket radios. For radios I've got one that seems not to have been used much still in the box with original earbuds from the sixties.
 
A little bit of everything it seems.

Books, guns, old hunting and firearm paraphernalia. Old metal signs. Animal skulls. Predator calls and basically anything that makes you think "what the heck is that!?" when you look at it.

Tattoos and offensive t-shirts.

Tools, and lots of them!

Ditto. Tools and hardware. I keep my possesions to a minimum and constantly clear things out but can't seem to get rid of small hardware that could come in handy. I've also got a thing for interesting handle materials, especially wood.
 
Vintage fountain pens. But they are strictly for looking at. Many years ago, I thought I'd be "fancy" & clipped one to my dress shirt while at work. It leaked all over me. I walked around with an embarrassing ink stain for the rest of the day.
 
@10after I actually do collect pens. I have a good size cup of pens that I would use with pride, and a much bigger one of pens that are not prideful. You can find some really nice ones in antiques shops. And I thought I was crazy for it. One question, where do you get ink for the ones that do not require a cartridge?
 
Hi Balrog99, I haven't purchased ink in a bottle in many years. But when I did, I purchased them at several different stationary stores locally in Chicago. I looked online before this post & found premium quality ink readily available.

While I have some nice vintage European pens, it was the venerable Parker 51 that started me off into the world of vintage pens. The quality of a common everyday item from days gone by just blew me away.
 
Debt... I collect debt lol easiest answer.
Lights, locks, keys (not necessarily for said locks), coins, silver, tools, cars (crappy ones), many more
 
I collect mortar & pestles. All kinds from antique to modern, crafted from wood, brass, iron, aluminum, marble, glass and ceramic. Large or small, simple or ornate, I like to collect them all.

I have specimens from different cultures and countries. My family feeds my hobby by acquiring ones from parts of the country they live in, trips they take both CONUS and overseas.

The smallest I have is approximately 1/2" tall. The largest is over 2' tall. :)
 
I wouldn't say I collect... but I've been buying survival stuff.

 
Hats. I have an affinity for Kangol hats in particular. I believe my current count meager, somewhere around 7, but I absolutely love my EDH*

*Every Day Hat :)
 
Sorry I haven't been back to this post for a while. I love survival equipment@woodkrafter, that is a very interesting and kinda cool collection. I have never heard of mortar and pestle collections before, but I do have one somewhere, I just don't know where.
