Any collections?

I have a coin and stamp collection that my Grandfather started me on when I was young along with my brothers.

I LOVE Lenox - especially the Christmas ornaments. I have so many of them though, that if I was to put thme on my tree, it would fall over. I've been trying to stick to the figurines now.

I collect milk glass. Took a few pieces to Antiques
Roadshow in Miami a few years ago. Paid 50 cents
for them and they were worth $25. They told me that the ones that didn't have the company name on it were worth more. Wish I'd have known that, cause that's what I took. I also collect wolf stuff and hummingbird stuff.

Good, Linda. When they're 100 years old he can say they're in mint condition.

After recovering from a few days of not feeling well, Kathy and I went out to lunch today. I mentioned that I had seen the "what do you collect?" post on here.

She mentioned that since she's been busy moving her office and I've been not feeling well, we've been collecting a lot of dust.

Any value to that?

I did at one time collect minerals like quartz and pyrite and amethyst among others. My sister collects miniature play dishes and my brother in law has collected kerosene lamps for years. He has over 200 of them!

Hmmm ...

Besides a mountain of DUST...

Let's see ...

CD's (Music)
Pictures (like the avatar)
Links, Pictures (for the website)
Change (don't spend your change, it adds up for a rainy day, 3 years ago from January 2000-November 2000, I saved $1300 in change alone before I cashed it in.)

The wife collects angels and teapots. I have a few old weather instruments thanks to my dad. Also have a nice collection of family memorabilia and pictures, including some 200 yr old books and one I need to authenticate that may actually be signed by the author who is ??? (I'd have to go get it out of the palstic)but I do remember is very well known. CRS as usual!lol
