Those are the Heinz pickles from the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair.
I have some more somewhere else...I buy them whenever I find them
I checked wiki and these pickles have quite a longer history than I knew about.
Beginning with the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago? Wow. And
they were given out at the 1939 New York Worlds Fair too. And Heinz is still
keeping up with the promotion item today. I've been schooled.

Always a sad thing when we can't wear these any more
and they wind up in the bits-and-bobs box.

Hot Wheels, as well as any other brand 1/64 scale die-casts. I bought a house and moving in over the next 5-6 days, so most are packed up. Rough guess on unopened ones is around 2500ish and an easy 8000 loose ones.
I also collect Ex-wives, but only have 2 so far.

I have a "family " collection; piles of Lego all over the house. All 4 of us have sets, but the majority are the Lads'. Many Speed Champion sets, mucho Star Wars. Ms Dice likes the flower ones
That's just the living room. (She also collects art pottery. And plants)

I have a bunch of diecast cars, including Matchbox and Hot Wheels, but most of my Hot Wheels (and a lot of other childhood "treasures") were sold off at the height of eBay, back when it was still an auction site for average people and not just storefronts.
I have a few guitars but I'm not sure "collecting" is the right word, I'm more a fan than a collector. And there's nothing in there that's noteworthy.
In the past few decades, these have been my main focus, and I've been selling them off lately. This used to be a typical garage scene for me, with a couple more projects in the shop.
That picture is a few years old, I don't own any of those anymore but they were replaced with others. I just don't have any recent group pictures.

Steven Wright claimed to have the world’s largest “sea shell” collection. He said he kept them on beaches all over the world !
I had a collection of invisible ink pens, but they always disappeared on me. It's really unfortunate; I had a few hard-to-find ones in that collection.
Actually I collect antique padlocks(500+) , toy steam engines, hot air engines and full size hit and miss gas engines from the early 1900’s. I also collect early 22 rifles and old military shells. I even have a bazooka practice round and the cardboard shipping tube it came in. My dad engraved his name and serial number on the shell and retrieved it out of the sand trap after firing it during basic training for WWII. I also have an extensive book collection on American war history, but I’ve given several of them to my grandson already.
My collection of scars and medical debt has grown substantially the past two years. Really coming along
