Besides cigars what do you collect? - Page 3

FriskyDingo · 10-18-2008, 01:47 PM

I collect different items of places I've traveled, like foreign money, shot glasses or something the place is known for.

Movies - DVD/BLU-RAY 685 so far

He-man action figures and sets. Wow, that felt embarassing typing that. I grew up with those things so I guess that's where that comes from. No pics, because they are all sealed in waterproof boxes I made with styrofoam underneath so in case my basement ever floods they will float.

I collect coins and other historical artifacts, among other things.

I only pull these out once a year at Christmas, so I forgot to mention that I also collect Fontanini Nativity Scene figurines like these

They're like Catholic action figures, I guess.

I pick up a few pieces every year, probably have over 100 now. I also built some landscape dioramas (think model train stuff) to display them and add to that each year, too. Must have got my inspiration from my folks--when I was growing up they had a cool ceramic Nativity scene they bought in Italy. Only a few pieces in the creche, but it was probably my favorite Christmas "decoration." Just keeping the tradition alive for my own kids, who love to tinker with mine...

Firearms -- my favorite, Books, Military memorabilia. I don't have much on the Military side of things, but that will change over time. My prize possession right now is an authentic WWI era "Knuckle-Duster" in mint condition. It is beautiful. My next addition is going to have to be a K98 Mauser with the Third Reich symbols stamped on the receiver.
