    Smile What else do you collect??

    I know many of us collect a lot different stuff.

    I though I would start a thread where we could post pictures of our collectables and treasures

    I'll start out with pictures of my ancient roman coins, byzentine cup coins and bronze roman arrowheads.

    all bought on ebay, most of the coins were as found and I had to clean them up

    next is sharks teeth. these are all very very old and come from another country, I don't remeber the name.

    I bought a huge batch of these and kept the biggest and best for myself and sold the balance in lots on ebay.

    all teeth are about the same size

    Dave and I were talking about civil war relics in the shoutbox

    here's 3 small brass cannons i got from goodwill.

    the rest was all bought on ebay

    part of a real civil war cannon ball

    a civil war pocket knife, reed from harmonica, some other pieces

    3 buck and ball, these were loaded into a paper cartridge and did a lot of damage at close range. these were just found as dropped when the paper got to wet to fire theem

    also in that box are 2 cannon ball fuses and a large bullet

    Well besides...BILLS,

    Marklin Trains, tools..., maritime history (mostly the ocean liners) I have very nice collection of menus (including ones from the SS Normandie), and a nice collection of movie props.


    I will try and take some pics and post them.

    money, no, not like bill gates and the donald, just old and foreign coins and bills. I don't think that I have any really valuable stuff though, unless you count that token from the Fast Break video arcade that went out of business in the early 90's...

    You have an A100!!

    I love you

    some of my best car memorys are with my friends 1967 A100 (blue-green and white two tone) he put a 440 in it and it hauls!

    It has been sitting under the carport for about 10 years now after cracking a header and some parts rotting out in the fuel system.

    I hope to get it from him someday as I have always loved these strange little trucks

    I suppose a couple of those light bars are from cops who failed to stop at the the missing stop sign?
