1. Antique clocks
2. Children
3. Cobalt Blue depression glass items and reproductions (for wifey)
4. tea pot and tea cubs (again for wifey)
5. Ceramic masks (wifey once more)
6. pets (not really intentional).
7. Antique furniture (mostly tiger oak). Not sure if that counts as a collection since we furnish our house with it.
8. Vintage cameras. This is also not intentional, people just started giving them to me.
9. Quilts - Okay so my collection consists of one, but it is a start. Quality quilts are crazy expensive.
I used to collect 16mm movies [mostly old Fleischer and Disney animation] and had a nice home theater based around it. Had a lot of really oddball stuff....I kept the Diver Dan episodes.
I've always loved old film projectors and got pretty good at fixing them.

Fun to mount one of them on the breaker panel, just to see what contractors say.
My brother collects vintage electronic test equipment. HIs entire garage is stuffed full of thinge like your meters, but some of them are attached to some sort of box with ires coming out. the best things are oscilloscopes ( I think that is what theya re called). They are very Frankenstein/science fictiony so they are fun to use for displays, haunted houses, plays etc.
Vintage guitars. Highly popular all over the world with the exception of this forum for some reason.
