Collectibles

[NodakBob]

I seemed to accumulate a lot of shit that could be considered collectible…antique outdoor rec (archery, fishing, etc), even collected a few ex wives but those lose their value too fast…now I’m downsizing, have more stuff than I can fit on my shop mancave walls

Thats a good one, when I was a kid every auction sale had some but I was too young to realize what was being passed up . They were always cheap back then

I have picked up some pretty impressive traps at auction sales! Kind of ironic as I am selling the majority of my user traps?

Shot glasses. I get one from every place I travel to.

I used to do that too. Used to collect different beer glasses from Old Chicago too. Man I have a lot of junk

I still like tinkering with tractors too. I stick with Farmall because I use them daily in the summer and have a bunch of extra parts to keep them running. Implements seem harder to find than the tractors , there must have been at least one or two for almost every tractor but they must have been scrap iron when bigger equipment came out.

Did you happen to snag onto any traps at the Swanson sale last summer ? I saw at least 2 bear traps on the trailers and they looked like nice traps.

I also started collecting favorite rifles. I inherited one from my grandpa when he passed and my dad had one. Just picked up another a couple summers ago. All are savages but some day would like to find a nice original stevens.

1:24 scale NASCAR die cast cars from the mid 90’s through 2010 when they were still detailed, and when the racing was good.

Like to collect old power line insulators, most ive personally taken down but a few fandoms from garage sales. Mostly hemmingrays of different shades and styles. Still searching for a Pyrex. Bad part is there isn’t a lot of old left out there still in service.

Also like to collect discontinued Rapalas.

I like guns. Nothing special, just utilitarian firearms. Savage rifles, cheap bullpup or pistol-gripped shotguns, pistols heavy enough to disable an assailant when thrown after they jam, etc. And, ammunition for those guns.

Have a Henry AR-7, just because I thought the concept was cool...worthless gun, if I'm honest.

Bought a couple Russi 3-barrel system (20 guage, .22, .243) years ago for my boys. Really wanted to love them, because it would make a great under-the-pickup-seat gun, but .243 was especially worthless.

Ruger 10-22 takedown wasn't yet available, but would likely Trump both of these. Who has one? Reviews?

in hindsight, this should probably be a new thread, so it doesn't hijack this one.

Not intended to be a collection, but every time a brighter flashlight or headlight comes out -------- I have drawers full of old headlights.

I find them useful for ice fishing. I set a head lamp next to each tip up or jaw jacker when the sun sets, so I can easily see them. Must have 20 lights/lamps.
