My wife and I collect cobalt blue glass. We have some nice things from across the country, and we got a large vase in England that is lovely.

I have a late friend who offered to give me his entire garage full of thousands of different beer cans lining three full walls to the ceiling. I have no way of knowing how many there were, and how many countries they were from but it took at least 6 alphabets or ideographic systems to name them: this one, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian script, Chinese, and at least one of Hangul, Hebrew, or Manchu. The last is not clear in my memory. I have no idea what he did with it before he died. It was a very colorful and interesting display!

I love Cobalt Blue glass! There is a place in Bristol, England which makes 'Bristol Blue Glass'. I visited once and watched them forming pieces, all by hand. It was beautiful and I fell in love with it but, sadly, it was too expensive and I couldn't afford to buy any back then.

Shoes are a necessity. Just to be safe always get more when you can.
I have a large collection of music boxes and unicorn figurines. I have a few unicorn music boxes too.

Crazy old ape
Used to collect books. As a kid, rocks. Nothing really at the moment, though I still have some of my favorites from the books.
Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

Models of halftracks, I've built some. They're my favorite vehicle.
Skeleton keys, no clue why, they're just cool.
I did collect bottlecaps, but I stopped after my ex stole them.
I guess in a way, I've started collecting trench coats.

I've collected stamps, coins, rocks, hockey cards and keychains as a kid. I still have the coins and stamps in a box somewhere. I used to collect vinyl records but stopped at around 500. These days I collect books including a few signed or first editions but nothing of great value. I figure I have 1200+ books nearly all hardcover.

I collect many things. I love all things miniature but one collection that drives my other-half mad is my collection of 'Gluhwein' mugs which I seek out each and every visit to Germany. Every town has it's own design and many are printed with the year. I have a kitchen shelf which is now full and each time I 'collect' one the only thing I hear is...
"Where is that one going to go?"
Eight years on and that shelf is now a cabinet full! 🤣

Books and CDs, although I don't collect CDs anymore. I love reading and music.
