What do you collect besides pipes?

[beetlejazz]

By the way, back in the day when I was a suspect in an arson case, I was described in a local magazine to have been "armed with an umbrella". :lol: Been wondering ever since if I should put that in my CV...

I knew it! You must have been the real KGB agent that assassinated Georgi Markov!

Hey, we haven't even talked about politics yet, and you're already calling me KGB? That's cold, brother!

:lol!:

1978... I think this is where your theory falls apart. :lol:

Time traveling, KGB, umbrella collecting, pipe smoking, merchant of death woman.

I collect art and books. My wife and I live pretty simply, so I buy almost all of my books second hand, and the art we get is from friends that are artists that will trade for my paintings or my wife's sculptures or photos

Besides pipes? Tins full of tobacco.

Actually I used to collect vintage drums and cymbals, but no longer. It was fun because I actually used every instrument in my collection at one time or another. I have since parted way with most of all my collection with exception of 3 specific snare drums, and some Gretsch, Yamaha and Slingerland drums that I still gig and practice with regularly. Most of the all the cymbals I have now are modern Turkish made models.

At its height, my collection was rather accidental. Kind of the thing that happens when you've been doing something for close to 30 years. One day it dawned on me that I had way too much stuff that wasn't being used enough, so out they went.

It actually felt really good clearing the band room out of unused gear. Helped cover the cost of some pipes and baccy too. 8)

There's a story I think we'd like to hear.

Uh, I was lighting my pipe and accidentally dropped my match. Sorry ale: :lol:

Stamps as a boy. Then fishing tackle and guns. Records. Pipes (take that as using the word "lot" in ebay searches). Now its just aches and pains!

 

[Slide]

I have guns, guitars, pipes, pipe tobacco and snuff. I really don't consider myself a collector of any of them. Tattoos maybe...that is the one thing I've paid for that I will always have. :lol:

...Fountain pens, certain books, selective Native American items...by in large, pipes are my main collection interest... :cheers:

I have some stamps.

We had two West Highland Terriers (now one) and collect old Westie figurines, etc. I'll have to take a snap of our curio cabinet.

I work for Roy Rogers Restaurants and collect odds and ends of his collectibles, books, etc.

Regrets. I've got a few.
But then again, too few to mention.

[WnyPiper]

There's more tying stuff than pictured, but I don't have pictures of my bins's contents. So that's just a very general overview.
