Fridge Magnets for Collectors 

An introduction to collecting fridge magnets

A refrigerator magnet is an ornament attached to a magnet that is used to post items such as shopping lists or report cards on a refrigerator, or simply as decoration. Refrigerator magnets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including for example, images die-cut to a specific shape or tiny plastic sculptures of fruits. Refrigerator magnets are a relatively popular object for collectors.

The first refrigerator magnet patent was obtained by William Zimmerman of St. Louis, Missouri, in the early 1970s. Zimmerman patented the idea of small, colored, cartoon magnets to be used for decorative display and convenience.

Collecting magnets, such as city and county magnets from all around the wolrd, has become a popular hobby, as also collecting of many other memorabilia. Many people are bringing refrigerator magnets from cities, sights, places and countries they've been to, because such magnets are popular and inexpensive touristic souvenirs, and many Companies now use fridge magnets as advertising

Although there is no official term (like numismatics) for collecting magnets, but with a growing interest in this subject there is a need for collectors to find a proper term. For instance, a russian collector proposes the term memomagnetics, derived from the words memoriale (latin.) and magnetis (greek.). Then a collector of magnets would be called a memomagnetist. These terms were accepted by the biggest Russian online community for magnet collectors and it is hoped this term will be accepted worldwide, although the term Magnut is becoming very popular in the USA among collectors, which I personally I really like better.

The largest collection of refrigerator magnets belongs to Louise J. Greenfarb also known as The Magnet Lady, from Henderson, Nevada, suburb of Las Vegas, USA. Her world record was included in the Guinness World Records with 19,300 items as of 1997. According to the British "Book of alternative records", it grew to 29,000 as of February 2002, and has since grown to over 30,000 items.. Over 7,000 magnets from Greenfarb's collection are exhibited at the Guinness Museum in Las Vegas. As of 2007, Louise has collected 35,000 magnets. Her current count as of January 2009, which has not been officially recognized, is 40,000 plus non-duplicates. She keeps over 10,000 duplicates on-hand to trade with her magpals.
