So we all Collect Bikes..What else?!

[Flying Zombie]

Im interested in seeing what else people like to collect, for sake of conversation.
Maybe some collections will be big enough to have a whole thread!

Im big into Tractor Seats, but havent got any yet
I have a modest Hat collection I'll post once I can sort out a few posting issues.

I have a small collection of Hot Wheels now, nothing to what I did have, like most of us.
I checked about, but this makes it new and In-general I guess, and brings hobbies together.

Id like to see the HotWheels. ^.6
[I have a '68 Mercury Cougar with a matching truck&tow beside the bed. I like to collect the realistic ones]

Awe man! I remember the Chevy Belair 1:18 models! I really liked tweaking the original cars I got, rather hotwheel or diecast model of larger scale. I remember getting the Astin Martin Vanquish from "GOLDFINGER" and popping out the seats [which DID have working sprung ejector] and put in headphone speakers which trailed to a CD player for a sound system..
some had suspension added..some got custom paint..
What are your more favored style of hotwheels? Redlines? post Hot Wheels axle suspentions?

[I LOVE Lesney cars, particularly the army cars and Cadillac ambulances.]
nothing will top the accuracy on that astin martin though...that was 10/10 ad one of few my bb guns didnt find.

Did I mention I like Vietnam and WW1/2 gear?

As in .Real Automobiles? Oh man, if I had a fortune Id start with a Fleet of AMC Pacers ... a few Batavus Mopeds.. then build the rest rat.

Bottlecaps? Have you got any "Old Style" by Heffeweissen? Their out of Milwaukee. My dad used to drink it, I have the belt buckle ^.6

 

[71SC360]

Yes, the cars. I've owned over 30, 68-70 AMX's and countless numbers of Javelin's. As far as the bottle caps go, I probably have about 20 or 30 different Old Style bottle caps in my collection. Below is a sample of some better bottle caps. Yes, there are some valuable bottle caps, at least to the bottle cap collectors world....

Nice caps! I recognize a few, but most are foreign to me. I really like all the fonts and characters.

Thats Excellent! To have something from a member of family that was used during war by them, thats special. My pops is retired Navy, but got the blade at a the major Flea that hits Prescott, AZ each year. Kept it for a while and decided he wanted it to be an heirloom, to be passed down. I got it when I moved out, unfortunately my dads old Navy gear went to Family prior to my birth, cant be upset about timing ^.6

Injuries. Mostly minor.

I used to collect a lot of things, but had to cut back. I like to hang onto old temple tokens. Might start collecting King Midget literature and parts/accessories now that I am fixing one up. By the way FZ, tractor seats end up at the scrapyard here. Might be a cheap place to start. You'd be able to buy them for less than $1. I've also owned a lot of AMC's. A Gremlin, a Pacer, and a Hornet. I'd like to find an Eagle though, a 4wd station wagon would suit me well at this point.
