Something seriously wrong in this world when periods are square.

Then what would you say about Madison SQUARE Garden?

 

Rangers suck!

 

You're not wrong.

 

Naaah, the Knicks suck even worse!

 

I vividly remember seeing that when I visited Rome with my son back in 2008! Visiting museums when I travel is also one of my -- and my son's -- favorite things to do.

 

Thank you...the eyes get weak...

 

I collect unique "."

Later today I'll post pictures of some of my recent acquisitions

 

Some recently purchased bellows cameras. Really like the little art deco cameras from the 30s & 40s.


Some of my banks:

 

This a tiny prayer book w/ a silver cover and a nice engraving. In the background is a miniature working table radio.

 

WW1 certificate honoring some soldiers who didn't make it.
"In honor of each one of the gallant American soldiers who has lived with us"
At the bottom of the certificate -
"To Hell with the Kaiser!"

 

Nice little Baltimore banjo clock made by James Armitage and Seth Thomas.

My other love is French military medals...which I’ve been collecting off and on for over twenty years. Anyway, my interest has been rekindled as of this year. I owe much of this rediscovery to a trip I took to Boston, MA, (500 miles away) which was the location of a safe deposit box containing most of my collection. Boston was where I grew up and I’d almost forgotten what I had stored away in that box. After I rounded up my collection I went shopping for a display case. I decided to use some wristwatch display cases which worked out perfectly. Most of these medals are from World War I and World War II.




I’ve been intending to show these to our friend and brother collector, @Cucumbor

 

Very nice collection.

 

A fantastic collection. Sure glad you went to Boston and got them.

 

Asian art, prints and various minerals...the great accumulator!

I collect old papers things like documents and such. Also knives, medieval weaponry, and etc. I also like to study languages like Irish, French, and old norse/English. I can also play the piano and synth and make my own music.

 

You have some beautiful collections also! Thanks for posting!
