Cool Old Stuff...
Ranked #11,100 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #153,496 overall
A Do It Yourself Lens, about Collecting Cool Old stuff!
With that neat old stuff, it's like, in many cases at least, if my dear old Grandmother (God rest her soul) had something in her home which I remember from my when I was knee high to a grasshopper, like maybe some little knick-knacks that sat on the kitchen window ledge perhaps. Ya, like a couple of those neat little Nursery Rhyme style Tea Figurines, for instance. They're called Wades by most Collectors and there are quite a few said hoarders and Collectors out there. ;-)
Now, if one or two of those neat little porcelain units, just happens to still be around to-day and I see it, I'll grab it quick like! All that small Stuff, that was popular in their day and age, is what I dig to-day.
Just knowing that not much of that beautiful old stuff has survived to this wild day and age, is REALLY enough reason to have some of it, in my possession, for me anyway. :-)
Here's a few pictures of some of the stuff in my little collection. I'll be adding more as time goes by. Maybe some of these shots will bring back a memory or two for You as well?
Y'all know how a picture can easily be worth a thousand words, right? Memory joggin' is fun too. You might even remember something real neat that You USED to have, back when, like before the kids or when you were younger or before all those moves or whenever...
If you have a few spare minutes, you may even want to slip over to one of my little, Collectibles websites, here at Cool Collectibles to get a look at a few more of the little Treasures I like to collect... :-)
Thanx very much for stopping in here to-day too and I hope you bookmark this little Lens as well, so you can find your way back in here again, another day! ;-)

There are so many types of things to collect...
How does a person pick what they want to collect?
Old Money
Real Silver Coins
Silver, the poor mans gold...
lb
Sleek, Super Slick. Silk...
One Hundred percent Fine Silk...
I love silk because it is nice and warm when it's cold out, and surprisingly cool when it's warm out. :-) Also, 100% silk shirts are about as tough as nails too, and they last forever.
Oh, and don't forget that they're WAY lighter than any cotton shirt AND they take up almost NO space when you need to pack your gear light & small, to boot. A large plus for these shirts is the FEEL of them against Your skin. No other material has such a, how do I put it, sexy, comforting and caressing, FEEL on ANY body it is touched upon. :-)
... and finally, I know of NO OTHER shirt material that I would prefer over these very fine genuine Silk Men's Shirts, in ANY situation, anytime. Nuff said...
Just as a side note...
If any one of You out there would care to own some of these fine vintage specimens, I have a limited number currently available for any of You on a reader's Special, for a mere $15 each, which includes shipping, of course. I can fix You up! If you already know and dig the value of 100% Silk, then you can snag two of these beauties right NOW for only $25 and you can pay by personal cheque too! :-)
Silk Rules!

Four old and used Redline Hotwheels...
The sky is the limit...
It doesn't matter what you collect, as long as you collect something...
Lb
Patches anyone?
Get your patch on...
Nice assortment of patches from my personal little collection. Anyone else out there in Squidoo-land collect any types of patches? Leave a comment here if you do please. I'd love to see a picture of some of yours. :-)I'm gonna add a few more of mine in here soon...
later,
lb
El Segundo Shaker...
Hot Stang or what?
Anyone out there from El Segundo, that digs Die-casts? Well then, feast your eyes on this Sweet little HotWheels Mustang muscle car, complete with awesomely detailed decals and Very Hot, Pink paint scheme to boot. Still accepting offers for this cool little 1/64 scale genuine Mustang replica, as I now have only two of them left. :-)Here's a link to my little HotWheels website if you'd like to take a little tour over...
HotWheels Rule!

“Collecting things, keeps me focused. It's so easy to get out of focus these days...”
Little Metal Men...
Heavy Metal Kinder Figurines...
I don't know about YOU but there is something pretty neat and special to me about metals over plastics. Maybe just because it's been around for quite a while? Like, WAY before any kind of plastics were invented.Or mayhaps it's because I'm definitely "old school" and I still really LOVE the substantially heavy heft, and feel, of an old silver dollar and a few quarters, in my hand to this very day?
Whatever it is, I like these semi-precious metals turned Kool Kinder Metal dudes, quite Alot! I treasure them because I have so few of them too. It's not quite a "collection" yet as such, as it has less than eight items altogether. But, I've still been keepin' an eye out fer 'em, in me travels... :-)
Metal Rocks!
lb

Fine Old Bone China - A Japanese Shelf Sitter...
A few more old coins...
I just Love old coins...
Old coins had real value. They were made with precious and semi-precious metals, unlike the junk they pawn off on us to-day.Here's a shot of a few of my cooler Oldies. How rare must these old coins really be getting, I wonder? I know I'm plannin' on holding on to these old puppies for the next good little while, seeing as they are getting even more scarce every year...
Make sure that you check through your loose change on a daily or weekly basis. You never know what might turn up in there. ;-)

- I collect 'stuff.' Its just plain fun. Coins and salt and pepper shakers are my favorite, but I have some car adds from when a new car cost less than $600. I aught to frame them. Now days $600 will get you the bumper.
Great lens.
5* and lensroll to Pass the Salt
