Salt and pepper shakers from about everywhere you could imagine. I took it over from My grandmother who had collected hundreds of sets, i'm just continuing her tradition.
Does anyone here collect business cards? I used to have a friend who did, and I would "subcontract" and gather them here (he lived somewhere else) and send them to him. Now I understand he isn't adding to his collection, but I can't stop "picking them up" when I see some--so I am getting a small stack of them, myself!
I won't be checking these boards, but if someone would like them, I can mail them to you and you can just send me a couple $ for postage. I have a stack a couple of inches thick. Send me a PM
I love lighthouses, so whenever I see something with lighthouses I just have to buy it I also look for small items that fit in my printers box, it's a challenge but I have some very neat trinkets.
Location: Still in Portland, Oregon, for some reason

Traffic lights and road signs. The signals are easier to come by than one might think but my collection is limited at the moment because they take up more space than you might think. Your average traffic light is about 40" tall, 14" wide, 16" deep and can weigh anywhere from 15 to 50 pounds. It can also get expensive, too. My latest addition cost me $175 plus over-size shipping from St. Louis. The UPS guy who brought it to the door was not a happy camper.
I collect several types of things. I am a gun enthusiast and have many but I really like 1911's, specifically in the 10mm caliber. I've only got one so far and another being built.
I am also into higher end , extremely bright , LED flashlights some hand made out of billet titanium.
Knives are my newest collectable item. I like folders , and neck knives specifically made with damascus, titanium etc.
