We all collect coins or this ______________________. Baseball cards and Gem stones are second collection . I it was about a year ago I seen a article about Zippo ligthers .some were $50.00 -500.00 in box with all information. Here one I own . If only I kept the box with all information? Has anyone seen one like this with all the engaged on it.??
I also collect baseball cards, stamps and bobbleheads. I also am always looking for fossils. I love history so I am prone to saving anything old.
I collect bayonets and old hatchets/axe heads. Some older axe heads can be worth a pretty penny... or cent!
Interesting fact: the Russian bayonets fitted to the Mosin-Nagant rifles could be used as screw drivers(could, I'm not saying they did). Coincidentally, most, if not all, the screws on the said rifle were standard.
I collect rocks from various places I've visited (and from a few places I've never been). This weekend, I gave a fellow CoinTalk member a piece of Ulexite from Boron California. This stone has been cut flat on the top & bottom. This stone passes the visual image from one side of the rock onto the other side of the rock much like a coherent bundle of fiber optic cables.
I collect fossils, meteorites (I plan on doing a meteorite hunt as a school project), and other geologic specimens in addition to coins.
Here are a few pieces from my collection. This is by no means my whole collection...I've got a shelf-full of fossils and meteorites. But from left to right: Fossil shell found at local beach in SF (800,000-1,000,000 years old), ammonite shell, stony-iron meteorite.
